@vazub that album is also excellent! I have been listening to that one today as well. Their album art is so cool

regarding https://ziglang.org/news/migrate-to-self-hosting/

some people didn't understand why switching to self-hosting from the cloud makes website deployments faster.

I didn't explain in the article, so I'll explain here:

docker is slow, installing system dependencies is slow, uploading to the cloud is slow, etc.

with self-hosting you set up the computer ahead of time, then just run a script that copies files around on the same computer, which is really fast.

Mozilla is truly an advertisement company now. From the bottom of my heart, fuck you, everybody at Mozilla.

In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

made some progress this weekend on my music player reboot

my take on redis changing its license: https://andrewkelley.me/post/redis-renamed-to-redict.html

@danluu I really enjoyed this post. Thank you for putting it together.

I think you might find the new zig standard library documentation web app interesting, since I made the controversial decision to have it fetch all the source code up front and then do all the content rendering locally. In theory, this is CPU intensive but in practice... even those old phones have really fast CPUs!

I'm curious how it fares with those old phones you have.

The details from the github issue may be interesting but they're not being presented as evidence for the claims in the blog post. I think the generalization applies.

Bounties damage open source projects.

we are on track for resolving 1,000+ issues during the 0.11.0 release cycle of Zig

@polyphanes can confirm

I'm happy to help upstream as much as possible!

I will take this moment of course to repeat my one plea: give third party application developers a stable ABI to target! I want to support cross compiling to serenityos.

@fedor @tost it's not really an alternative, it can't even output object files

I'm in the middle of building LLVM 15 from scratch for the 11th time today, and I have 2 more to go until I can start another CI run.

How's your day going? ?
