I do wonder how it compares against Jolt. Both seem to have a good pedigree, one from Valve and Eric Catto, and another used in Horizon games.

I see, so would it would only be relevant to unions, or would adding a new node to a linked list or pushing another element in a dynamic array or setting a pointer to null also count?

What is "stable shape"?

Clarity and predictability is more important than modernity when serving 1.5 billion diverse people.

The one big issue with Indian Government websites is that there is no single unified visual language, something that UX4G [1] is aiming to fix.

Other than that, I agree; this reads like the rantings of an young intern incapable of operating anything not built using whitespace-heavy "flat" interfaces.

Did you use some resource on how to layer immutability on top of B-trees? This is finicky enough that I don't feel comfortable YOLOing.

It might have been better to publicly document and stabilise the LuaJIT bytecode, which would allow people to then come up with whatever syntax they wanted in their own custom frontends.

Can someone point to a resource/tutorial for learning point splatting (the 90s rendering technique)? Gaussian Splatting has completely over taken the search results, and the original technique is now near impossible to find.

> you can disable all the annoying AI/Advertising shit

What Stockholm Syndrome is this? Why should you have to do this in the first place?

No modern libc uses (or should use) brk() as the heap. Allocate virtual memory using mmap, VirtualAlloc, etc., and manage your set of heaps.

When western politicians and media lectures the world on human rights, I can't help but wonder how funny it is that because westerners front loaded their genocidal violence, they now get to feel superior to others that didn't completely wipe out the conquered.

Yeah, but then I'll have to deal with Embarcadero.

Does this support declaring variables anywhere (as opposed to only in the beginning of a function)? That was my primary complaint when using Lazarus.

How do people find Lightning cables robust? Every single one I got from Apple failed around the one year mark. So much so that I finally started buying cheap knockoffs that only lasted 6 months but cost a tenth of official ones. To compare, I haven't seen a single Micro-USB or USB-C cable fail on me whether expensive or cheap. Am I simply uniquely unlucky in the matters of Lightning cables?

> "Abrahamic bad", "Eastern good"

Is that what you read in my comment? Because that is not what I wrote. People sympathise with those who are similar to them. Europeans sympathise with Ukrainians, Muslims with Palestinians, Abrahamics with other Abrahamics. How you got from that to your "Abrahamic bad", I can't even fathom.

Abrahamic societies will naturally be sympathetic to the acts of other Abrahamic peoples and antagonistic to pagan and polytheistic cultures, especially if the non-Abrahamic culture rejects the Abrahamic proselytising that purports to "civilise the heathens" as many Indic societies did. To expect anything else under some expectation of fairness or empathy is nothing but childish naïveté.

iPads have M-series chips in them that support hardware virtualisation. But Apple goes out of its way to disable the hypervisor for its iOS/iPadOS builds[1]. All they have to do is stop doing that and allow apps to make use of the virtualisation APIs. UTM hypervisor already exists in App Store, so Apple is clearly not against the principle of it. As soon as that happens, running macOS (or Linux) will become elementary.

Is Pijul implemented in form of a library (a la libgit2)?
