I think some people just get an irrational block about learning particular things. Like maybe you struggle with a music class in school and just identify as being incapable of learning an instrument, for example, even if they're a skilled learner otherwise. Can't speak for OP, obviously.

My issue with it is that it's a vendor. The need for identification is fair, and I'm not worried about the govt having it. I'm worried about _id.me_ having it.

Just went through this myself. I gave in and made the account, only to then find out I was too late to give them my direct deposit info anyway. (If it's any peace of mind, I did eventually get that check.)

> I sense a hegemonic power growing behind rust

Can you elaborate on this?

Similarly, when all of this started happening I went and bought some history books for anything that seemed like it would be useful later.

What incentive does a dealer have to know or care why a sale fell through? Bizarre question

If I'm understanding that they're waiting this 5 minutes when they try to launch the game, there's a setting (go to Downloads, scroll down) to do the shader compilation in the background

Doesn't even seem like various reasons.

I similarly used it to finally facilitate a switch to Arch to a couple months ago. Not technically a tool, but it was very convenient to take the Arch wiki, and personalize it by saying "My hardware is X and my use case is Y, can you filter out the 90% of things from here that aren't relevant to me?"

What are your thoughts on the Io situation? Has your work been with the Io plans in mind from the beginning?

You mean dylanmtaylor? I didn't know he was an MSFT employee but I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

I don't think Codeberg wants to be a GitHub alternative. In particular, I don't think they want to support the use cases of someone hosting a bunch of private repos, or someone hosting commercialized code.

Yeah, a "seit Jahren" flashed through my mind as I read it.

It doesn't even need to be random. What if you send an instance of a proprietary file format? Is the company required to share the spec and toolchain so that the govt can verify it (probably) isn't an encrypted message?

I've been having fun trying out Zig recently; would recommend. FYI that they released a big batch of API changes in April (version 0.16.0) so be mindful of learning from old resources.

Wouldn’t call myself an expert in either, but I think 2 things stand out far more than anything else: 1. Rust is effectively as strict as can be in terms of ownership. In Zig you can just allocate some memory and then start slinging pointers (or slices) all over. If you’re doing this then you’re presumably doing it for mutability and you don’t strictly know where that pointer ends up once you’ve passed it on. 2. Rust’s metaprogramming is split among a couple different things (e.g. traits, macros), whereas Zig’s is unified (comptime). comptime is (at least advertised as) “just normal Zig code” and Rust macros are a great example of “this doesn’t work at all like the base language”.

#1 boils down to “can the LLM solve the pointer aliasing here?” and #2 is translating between metaprogramming paradigms. Could work but a line-by-line translation is a pipe dream.
