Maybe not on the investment/new hotness side, but as a user I'm not clamoring for greater LLM integration. Maybe I'm a Luddite, though.

Seems like it's just a comment written by someone with little to no experience using zig.

Why settle for just one?

I tend to expand TLS thread-local storage, so SSL is less confusing for me.

To paraphrase Rainer Wolfcastle - the budgets do nothing!

You get a warning. There's no service cutoffs or hard limits on spending.

The external fuel tank, whence came the foam that stuck the wing, leading to the loss of Columbia.

I've tried mosh several times and always found it to be more annoying than tmux/screen + living with the reality of dropped connections on mobile.

> Since I suppose none of the browser vendors will give developers money to change their xslt usage in codebases for something else.

Let's turn that around: are you willing to pay a browser vendor to keep supporting xslt so you can keep your codebase unchanged?

Unless it comes from the Commie region of Asia, it's just sparkling state capitalism.

yeah, some jerk filed a windows https bug after the release had been tagged

Aren't LTO formats only backward compatible with the immediate prior version?

Yeah, I think what people really liked about git (vs many other VCSs at the time) was cheap and easy local branching, not the distributed nature.

It's kind of weird that we've collectively decided on a distributed version control system, while centralizing where we keep the repositories and metadata.

Actually, the big problem for me is that github doesn't have issues at the moment.

It's weird that you've been downvoted for essentially restating what Zig's BFDN said when closing an issue related to error payloads:

I don't think I've ever intentionally used the scroll back search in iterm2 and deliberately disabled the shortcut for it because I kept triggering it by accident. I don't understand wanting or needing it, at all.

Why would leaving an unsecured bike to catch thieves be illegal? Entrapment is when law enforcement gets people to commit crimes they wouldn't have considered committing otherwise.

Plus your lawyer needs to make a convincing case that you only took the bike because the cops left it unsecured to trick you, and not because just you're a thief who stole some shit and got caught. Tough row to hoe.
