Level1Techs' KVM products have always been expensive, and they're arguably the best around. There aren't many competing products.

It doesn't. This article doesn't measure that, and full screen works differently. This article also only measures gnome.

You could probably make a good docs site in hugo with enough work, but Docusaurus has pretty much everything I need out of the box (and is less annoying to extend). I think it really is a lot better for documentation.

Small self plug: https://zig.guide is ready for Zig 0.12.

Some notable changes in zig.guide since Zig 0.11 came out:

  - Changed from following master, to following major releases (Zig is more stable now, less work for me. Yay.).

  - Migrated from Hugo to Docusaurus, bringing some large frontend improvements.

  - Moved over from ziglearn.org to zig.guide.

  - Removed 'usage in production is not recommended' from the front page.

  - Support for versioning.

  - Greatly improved testing through build.zig.

  - Opened up for github sponsorships.

  - Added another section for supplementary walkthroughs.

The site still isn't nearly where I want it to be but there's been some big improvements in the last few months.

Win32 isn't stable on Linux, though.

You claim to be healthy, yet you have not died yet. Curious.

I believe where this stands is that if someone were to contribute and maintain this, then it could be part of the Zig compiler, however it is not something the Zig team themselves are planning on doing. Maybe give it a shot? I personally find the project interesting and fun but I'm not convinced that it's a good solution.

Assuming this is you also. There were commits to Zig less than an hour before you posted this.

I actually saw multiple people in the Zig core team (and others) actively working on the Zig compiler in person this weekend! Development may have slowed in the last 2 weeks or so because of the SYCL conference; given the turnout I can assure you that there is no decline in people working with or on Zig long-term. If you look at the commits, issues, or the stage 2 meetings (normally held every thursday in the discord), you would also see that the project isn't on the decline. You're correct that the financial reports of the ZSF aren't up to date - these are updated manually so you can expect some delay.

I'm assuming you're the same person that made multiple new stack overflow accounts recently to ask (and answer, on a different account) this question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74040564/is-the-zig-prog... (since removed by moderators).

My question to you is: Why are you trying to force this false narrative?

Author here, I'm just showing how I did it. It took a few minutes to do it for myself - figured it would be worth the 15 minutes or so it'd take to write it down. Just sharing my process, there's nothing too serious about this post.

I've happened to have written a lot of C, but some areas (like this one) I'm not as confident in. This way of casting, and working with types is very poor syntax in my opinion (I mean below in this thread you have people arguing about the spiral rule and such, it's obviously a common confusion).

Zig's way of expressing types and pointers is far superior, these transformations I made were done quickly and I didn't feel like there was any ambiguity or confusion in anything. Just a series of simple reductions, there are no "tricks" or easy mistakes to make in the code. It feels like a trivial proof.

Obviously I am biased, this was posted to zig.news. I thought it was a neat showcase of translate-c, and how zig does some of these things nicer. I'm not telling everyone that they should do what I did, but this works for me and I'm happy to share.
