Zig and Rust are significantly different languages. If bun has a good architecture in zig (which I don't know if it does or not), that doesn't necessarily mean it had a good architecture for rust. A direct translation of zig code

What is inaccurate about it? Maybe it is out of date now, but when I first read it about a decade ago, when I did a fair amount of PHP development, I had personally encountered most of the issues mentioned in there. I've heard that PHP

As code quality goes down, so does productivity, as it becomes more difficult to add new features and there are more bugs introduced.

Ohhhh... Yeah that makes sense. There's still the possibility of some form of ads getting embedded in local models, or biases that favor certain sponsored content, which is one reason why having more than just the weights open is impor

Well, I think the ideal would be to default to prompting, but have a "--yes" or "--non-interactive" option to turn it off in CI and similar, but that might be problematic for backwards compatibility now, but an "--

Personally, I'd rather get an error from uv that packages aren't compatible when I run update, with a way to override that if needed, than get an error at runtime that may be difficult to track down to incompatible versions.

When the only local options are Walmart and maybe Target and the local Kroger subsidiary, it isn't much better.

On hardware that doesn't support it, misaligned loads could be compiled to multiple loads and shifts. Probably not great for performance, and it doesn't work if you need it to be atomic, but it isn't impossible.

It isn't a good test for that either. Having a successful business requires a lot of factors that don't really have anything to do with software engineering. Things like luck, connections, access to funding, good marketing, etc. A

Also worth pointing out the "Optimize it to a level that drives marginal cost below the buyer’s internal alternative" includes reducing labor costs by underpaying and overworking workers.

I think it's more likely an interaction of both. Tariffs and recession lead to companies looking for ways to save money, and AI is both a convenient excuse for reducing headcount, and at least in some cases may actually reducing headco

Really the parent company should be held accountable for that. But that is a more general problem with LLCs that is already causing significant harm.

Given zig instability (as in frequent breaking changes), it wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally design bun from the start in a way to make it easier to migrate to rust if needed.

Unfortunately, all the native "system" GUI frameworks are all terrible in their own unique ways. Unless you mean drawing the gui directly to a graphics surface, which often results in even poor accessibility and system integration

I think cargo's yank is a good balance. It makes it difficult to pull the yanked version in as a dependency, but doesn't break existing usages, as long as the version is in the lockfile. And I think even then gives you a warning t

MS isn't solely to blame for the AI increase, but they are certainly part of the problem, including their integration of copilot into Github.

Sure if you restrict yourself to a subset of c++ that avoids the more unsafe features, you can avoid some of those problems, but not all of them. And IME, a lot of c++ in the wild still uses those unsafe features, especially when interfacin
