author here, I do think that's a reasonable choice of tech in general, but I won't be using most of those for Mach for various reasons: * glm -> zig has native vector types with SIMD support and I think in the long-term these c

Hahaha, thanks. Also you are aware this statement is incredibly funny? > programming is not really my hobby [...] after my typical work day, I spend another 4-5 hours reverse engineering software because that is what I find fun Really sh

As a long time lurker of your work, and someone who works on a fair number of search engines myself - I'm curious, how well does TypeSense handle code search (punctuation, etc.)?

I think what you say is generally spot-on and I am conscious of the hard brick wall I am up against in these respects.

That's correct. Sometimes it's walking at a brisk pace for ~2h while writing code. Other times it's actually running for ~1h with a problem I need to think through.

Flash being dead, and yet many enterprises still relying on it, opens the opportunity for Adobe to sell a pricey contract that allows an enterprise servicing company to provide Flash support.

From the author on an issue: > cito has no own garbage collector. You get what the target language offers. If it's C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, then there is a GC. In C, C++ and Swift, there are stack variables and reference counti

Sure, why not: here's my $100 https://i.imgur.com/XwhkmzQ.png And just to make it interesting, I'll also match donations up to $100 each to a total of an additional $500 - starting now for the next 48 hours. :)

8 months ago I was evaluating Wasmer vs. wasmtime for my personal use and for a team I was working with at my work (Sourcegraph) Ultimately I went with wasmtime (we ended up using neither at work, too premature) because I just found a frank

I agree with everything you said. Reflection, I think, is the one that is quite difficult to address. The others - GC and unicode data - can be addressed through changes to WebAssembly in theory. For Zig, I developed a custom compression al

I wonder what the theoretical limit is for the number of people that can retain a secret actually is, with modern technology and all. e.g. governments definitely keep secrets, so how many people can be in on a given conspiracy-like governme

thanks for the insight; I didn't think my comment would be interpreted that way but I can see how it might've been so I appreciate you shedding some light on that. My intent was to call into question how Amazon would benefit from

I totally 100% agree. "Getting started" with a C/C++ project is a huge pain and IMO where most people get stuck and give up on their weekend project. I'm working on a game engine in Zig[0], and I've been able to pac

... sure seems like it is: this handles QEMU setup/teardown with hardware virtualization support through Hypervisor.framework according to[0]. [0] https://twitter.com/simnalamburt/status/1434244533001224192

Does that handle virtualization for you like this does? Is it distributed pre-built anywhere? I honestly looked just now and couldn't find anything.

This looks more like the Podman version of Docker Desktop (which is closed source, and no longer free), effectively, as it's handling the virtualization aspects for you according to[0]. [0] https://twitter.com/simnalamb

Docker Desktop (the software people must use to run Docker under any Mac or Windows machines) is closed source.

Yeah, my brother opened an issue similar to this earlier - there is actually a quite cool proposal for something like this here now: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/8973

Actually, not only are you right about your errdefer Go implementation - but that's actually fairly common in Go code. Especially for tracing/logging of errors returned from functions; or for e.g. rolling back DB transactions in t
