Yeah, I had the same experience. I had an embedded project where I would need to use C libraries, and it seemed like a great excuse to try Zig, but it spat out a ton of esoteric errors I couldn't be bothered to figure out and I went back to Nim.


The USB host code is in fs/drv/usb: https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/drv/us...

Not that I can read any of it... Forth looks unlike any other language I've ever seen o_O


Every single one of these sections sounds like it should take 3x as long


Some people choose to have principles and live by them. Self-hosting email isn't really worth the hassle IMO, but switching to a smaller provider is (I moved to Fastmail).


CS has a concept of "trust factor" which groups people more likely to be cheating in the same game. If you ever queue with a friend with a low trust factor (which happens a lot if they're on a smurf account), there are cheaters in pretty much every game... seeing that many blatant cheaters has really made me think there must be a lot of smarter cheaters flying under the radar in regular games. It's basically impossible to tell whether someone is wallhacking or if they have really good game sense.


Nice UI, but I think someone needs to say it: there's no novel concept here, I've seen the exact same game printed in magazines and on kids' menus. If you're trying to catch people's attention, you need a clever gimmick that they haven't seen before.


Yeah, I don't really get it. Five unrelated anagrams? I was expecting something to happen but it's just the anagrams that I did in a fraction of the time given despite not having a clue what sports those teams play, assuming they exist.


There's still not much reason to recurse using the program's own call stack rather than having your own stack structure that can live in dynamic memory and be handled in a context-appropriate way (e.g. returning an error at some depth limit rather than being killed by the OS).


The entire TF2 team was famously one guy for years


The janitor did the best work they could... it was just too much for any one human.


edit: snip, misinfo, I'm illiterate. Sorry!


> instead of following responsible disclosure practices

They literally did, though? They were resolved before publishing.


What are you talking about? They did follow responsible disclosure.


No idea why this is downvoted.

Responsible disclosure normally means you wait up to 90 days so they can fix it, before you disclose it to the public. In this case, it was fixed immediately, so they disclosed it to the public immediately.

Which is another thing it seems Chinese corporations do better than American ones.


I think your categorical dismissal of a genre that defies categorization (including one of the undisputed most influential eletronic artists ever!) disqualifies you from being able to identify "interesting" music. You sound like a boring person.
