I feel like it's worthless to keep up with Zig until they reach 1.0.

That thing, right here, is probably going to be rewritten 5 times and what not.

If you are actively using Zig (for some reasons?), I guess it's a great news, but for the Grand Majority of the devs in here, it's like an announcement that it's raining in Kuldîga...

So m'yeah. I was following Zig for a while, but I just don't think I am going to see a 1.0 release in my lifetime.

I wouldn't have expected graphic sex slang to be acceptable as a NH user name.

This would translate as ~"eats pussy", where "broûter" is a verb reserved for animals feeding on grass, implying a hefty bush.

> Sucrose read the code without executing it by using Function.toString() then perform our own custom pattern-matching to extract useful information about what parts of the request are actually needed by the route handler.

Hmm.

Yup, this is a one-time, startup operation, using a proper parser would make it more robust at no runtime cost.

How is GNU/Linux different from Linux?
pygy_ · a month ago
It is the same thing, just emphasizing that the OS is more than the kernel, and than the userland comes from the GNU project.

The latter had been designed to be a full OS but didn't have a functional kernel when Linux was released, and Torvalds adopted the GNU userland for his project.

>one of your non-political core contributors goes by @zyklon1488 on twitter

I think this is exactly what author meant? This is just a tool, private life or political opinions of contributors are not relevant, as long as they don't try to force them on other project members. The only thing that matters is the quality of submitted code.

But by doing this, you limit your talent pool to folks who accept to associate with hateful folks.

I dont care what you or anyone else thinks. I give you a free tool. That's all.

You've put it on a forge with issues and PRs open, which implies you expect external contributions.

I'm trying to warn you about the implicit message your copy sends.

It will chase away the folks I mentioned, and some day you'll discover that one of your non-political core contributors goes by @zyklon1488 on twitter.

and.. I want to avoid having to add a coc. Can try.

    - Why did you close your eyes ?
    - So that the room will be empty.
Your copy reads as "I'm a radical centrist and will die trying to preserve the status quo".

As it usually goes you'd then tolerate hateful, bigoted folks in the name of openness and Free Speech Absolutism™ (which is totally non-political /s) and chase away women, minorities and folks who care about them.

If this isn't your intention, a CoC is the way to go.

You regrettably can't make hate disappear by pretending it doesn't exist.

the milquetoast attempts at casting poorly-targeted stones at the beginning of this article really bring it down. Plenty of rural brits share exactly the same mentality, this just stinks of lack of cultural experience.

it's a great vehicle, and I applaud the french approach to cars.

I don't know fast it would be if it was done iteratively. But Apple's implementation has negative implications for debuggability: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... https://webkit.org/blog/6240/ecmascript-6-proper-tail-calls-... .

V8 team decided that it's not worth it, since proper stack traces (such as Error.stack) are essential for some libraries, such as Sentry (!). Removing some stack trace info can break some code. Also, imagine you have missing info from the error stack trace in production code running on NodeJS. that's not good. If you need TCO, you can compile that code in WASM. V8 does TCO in WASM.

That argument was vaguely plausible until WebKit/JavaScriptCore shipped PTC and literally no one bat an eye.

Bun users don’t care either.

At this point it is pure BS.

There are NES emulators aplenty, the only value in writing a new one is pedagogic, for the writer.

This endeavor had negative net value.

The point was not "whatever the majority wants is therefore good". The point is that if you were to apply the "you get fired from your job for this" standard evenly, the majority of the country would've had to get fired from their jobs. That is a pretty unreasonable standard to apply, imo.

Also, come on man. It's in really bad taste to compare stuff to the Holocaust. Nobody was being murdered here, it's not remotely the same.

There is a difference between having an opinion and spending money to promote it.

Also, beside the direct murders as @ceejayoz mentioned, the social exclusion of LGBT folks drives far too many of them to many of them to suicide.

The legalization of same sex marriage cause a noticeable drop in their suicide rate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_among_LGBTQ_people#:~:...).
