couldn't you have seen an indistinguishable one, and by definition, wouldn't notice?

i have tried variations of this many time, it personally doesn't work for me. the word flashes into my brain, and i can keep up with "reading" at high wpm's, but the whole sentence doesn't register. i am not seeing the forest because of all the trees.

Yes that's true, I'm biased because I am pro-AI.

What are your hopes and predictions for the Zig project?

Despite stated otherwise in the post, this is a personal attack.

Anyway, let's try to discuss something more technical: I predict Zig will lose steam, and in 2027, will lose relevance:

1) It's hardcore Anti-AI 2) It's moved to Codeberg 3) It doesn't have the momentum to sustain the disadvantages of these two decisions

The project will in max 2 years make a blog post, not admitting to their mistakes, telling themselves that Zig is a success, despite the industry having moved on.

i agree, this is probably an US thing. the relationship and service of banks is a little different in europe.

interesting, the notation also implies 2005 and 2010 A.D and not B.C, or maybe the notation is about exactly A.D? either way, interesting choice if it was intentional. we say “year 515” without disambiguation right

i don't write shorthand -- i type really fast on my keyboard, summarizing what everyone said. i've had compliments about how efficient i am at doing this, so i imagine it's not a widespread skill. i believe this to be very trainable though, thus my post.

I remember reading that restate.dev is a 'push' based workflow and therefore works well with serverless workflows: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40660568

what is your input on these two topics? aka pull vs push and working well with serverless workflows
