My two recommendations are easily Nim and Zig. If you want something that is essentially just a modernized C, go with Zig. The concept of compile-time programming having the same appearance as runtime programming is very cool in my opinion.

I think it's safe to say that the proper way to go about using Nim is to use macros only as a last resort. They're powerful and awesome when necessary, but obfuscate the code a lot, and the LSP can't really follow them either

Definitely agree that there are rough edges, but Nim is in a better state than ever. The LSP isn't great yet, I'll agree with that. There are great optional type libraries for working around exceptions if you don't want them,

My 6900 XT has had pretty good support in everything I've tried.

This, and also, so what if the price of the end product goes up? You wouldn't feel the need to buy a new phone so often if it was more sensible to repair them, which would very likely more than make up for the price increase.

Even the "active and passed" states (particularly New York) passed a neutered version of right-to-repair that barely does anything. I only understand vaguely, but Louis Rossman has been outspoken about the progress of NY right-to-

As someone who frequently disagrees with the overwhelming majority political opinion on this site, this is one thing I wish all states could find common ground on. The amount of waste and value extraction that corporations force on us, when

Maybe they're excluded because they've already been praised, and they're focused on the new states joining in? I assume "active and passed" means that they not only passed the laws, but they are currently in effect.

This whole time I was under the impression that SteamDB was owned by Valve. Huh.

I'm not just talking about US citizens, by the way. Foreign alliances are forming to dethrone the dollar as we speak. It will not last forever. I didn't say it would come crumbling down overnight. It will be a gradually shift away

They won't run out of currency, but the people that use it will run out of faith.

Until it can't anymore. It will eventually fall apart. It is inevitable.

Probably reference cards, yeah? I think the common advice is to not buy the reference cards. They rarely cool enough. I made that mistake with the RX 5700 XT, and will never again.

The tests are very pretty to watch though. I'm very grateful they were recorded.

Dang. Was happy for a moment to see Nim on the front page.

A lot of it is indirect dependencies, and most of the direct dependencies in the go.mod are just for benchmarks, as far as I can tell.

But the feds would never attempt shading means of solving a problem that they're being heavily pressured to solve in a timely manner! Don't be a hecking conspiracy theorist.

Within the programmer circle, "free software" implies FOSS, which is something more than just no-cost. A normie would assume free in cost though.

I also think that it would be a nightmare to properly review a large PR of exclusively AI code. If you take the time to understand what it's doing, and find as many little bugs and edge cases as possible, you may as well have just writ

Bonus points for "written in Rust" not being in the first sentence. I may give this a try and see how it compares to fzf.

Programmers might be one of the most autistic cliques I've seen, so this checks out. That's both a good and bad thing.

If anyone is interested in hearing from some of the members of the Stargate program (mainly remote viewers) themselves, the Shawn Ryan Show podcast has several of them. The interviews are fairly well done in my opinion.

No, the point is it lasted as long as it did, which is quite a while.

It's notable that the DIA/CIA only pursued remote viewing as seriously as they did because the amount of "correct guesses" the remote viewers were making were well above random chance.

I tried Brave this year. I now use it as my Chrome-based option when things refuse to work under Librewolf, which is my daily driver. I disable the `resistFingerprinting` option in the Librewolf flags though, because I like scrolling in 144
