Yea, usually the next step is starting a Kickstarter campaign and then rug-pulling.

Wrapping this [1] in a skill will help a lot: Also add this [2] and `zig fmt` to your buid.zig.

In Zig, function arguments are not wrapped in `.{}`. `.{}` is the syntax for creating a struct or a tuple. This is used as a pattern for allowing optional arguments (options struct) and variadic functions (tuple).

Explicitly discarding return values is a thing many modern programming languages force you to do.

The whole field of evolutionary psychology is in a replication crisis, and there are several newer studies that did not find any evidence for any changes in 'mate preference' across the ovulatory cycle.

General sexual desire, but not desire for uncommitted sexual relationships, tracks changes in women's hormonal status https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29287282/

nitpick: The language is pretty stable, what changes is the standard library.

The big loss for the Zig community would be if they stopped donating to ZSF. They have estranged themselves from it for a while.

NLnet is also a great Dutch initiative. It's great to see that smaller, more nimble countries are leading the way in Open Source and digital independence.

> it's just gaining more control

Yes it is! And if you control everything, you won‘t make mistakes.

The takeaways at the very bottom of the page are valuable:

> Overall, having spent a significant amount of time building this project, scaling it up to the size it’s at now, as well as analysing the data, the main conclusion is that it is not worth building your own solution, and investing this much time. When I first started building this project 3 years ago, I expected to learn way more surprising and interesting facts. There were some, and it’s super interesting to look through those graphs, however retrospectively, it did not justify the hundreds of hours I invested in this project.

The whole "quantified self" movement might be more about OCD and perfectionism than anything else.

/edit: quantified, not qualified

Singletons are global variables in a suit. Don‘t use them.

Also, why isn‘t there a native client for all platforms? Could they not just let the AI auto-translate the code?

They block agressively. Not only based on IP adresses. If you visit the site with a privacy-focussed browser or in private mode they will also tell you your IP is blocked.

And this kind of behaviour is a red flag for people who actually go digging through the GitHub profile. Like techical people in the last stages of a hiring process.

Check out this dude: https://github.com/GhostKellz?tab=repositories

He's got like 50 repos with vibe-coded, non-working Zig and Rust projects. And he clearly manages to confuse people with it:

Yes. This is a bad law, but somehow still a better one than the UK got...
