It's not mentioned in the article, but I feel like the number of cars with blindingly bright headlights has to factor into this too.

Remember pagers? Even before cell phones, my dad (a physician) was reachable 24/7.

I've been meaning to buy something from pine64. This might finally be it; especially with that e-ink screen.

I just joined the mailing list. Hopefully I can snag one of those.

The point of the example is that in Zig, that statement is exactly as simple as it looks.

What looks like a field reference (`c.d`) is just a field reference; there are no getters or @property functions that are doing more complicated things.

And similarly with the addition operator, that plus sign is just addition and doesn't call a function somewhere else.

These abstractions are considered useful by the designers of other languages, but they are specifically excluded in Zig. The benefit of not having them being that it's easier to follow the execution flow of the program.

That’s rough.

We are in a similar situation. She’s got a tourist visa though, and while we think it would technically be possible for her to enter the US, we’re kind of afraid to try.

I thought the border restriction was just about having been in China in the last 14 days. Couldn't she get back into the US if she went to a different country first for 14 days?
