Re:About LLMs at Zig Days on Thursday May 28, 2026 @03:06PM (#48313872)
Isn't "soft ban" still a bit harsh? I think it was reasonable take and a good reminder of the purpose of these events.

This feels more like a reaction to Zig's anti-LLM policy than anything. Anthropic would probably like to contribute something back to Zig at some point, but I doubt anyone would ever believe their PRs were not written by Claude.

I got a chuckle out of the binary diff. :)

Try looking for the actual font name with "fc-list | grep -i source", maybe it is not what you're expecting.

A few months ago I was having trouble with getting some TTF BIOS fonts recognized by urxvt and fc-list made me realize that I should've escaped a couple dashes in the font name.

Since you're interested in the implementation of synchronous languages you could also take a look at Quartz [1]. Their book is a fantastic resource about the topic.

The C integration aspect sounds really neat, especially for writing concurrent code on the Arduino!

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

What are the advantages of Céu over other synchronous programming languages such as Esterel and Lustre?

I just want to point out that embedding structs does not look like an afterthought at all, the Plan 9 C compilers had a feature akin to it for ages.

Re:Ask HN: What's on your RSS reader? on Saturday July 30, 2016 @11:16PM (#12195589)
newsbeuter.
That's precisely what I tried to describe in my previous post, but contrary to what you say, Chrome now adds it as a new tab.
Indeed, but some browsers have the tab switch button at the bottom, which I find much more ergonomic. Another reason for me is that Chrome bookmarks page sucks, so I got used to adding them to a folder on my home screen instead. It worked surprisingly well with the Merge Apps and Tabs feature, but with that gone Chrome just stuffs newly opened links in a new tab instead of opening a new window.
Chrome will start nagging you on almost every page load as soon as the next security update goes live, I doubt you will stand it for too long. Nonetheless, I also loved that feature and see little reason to stay with Chrome on Android now.
