Because he wants to move it and then has to provide rationale behind why Ghostty is moving away from Github.

I am curious to watch this unfold. How long until a clever supply chain attack effects this? What will the response be? Will be interesting to see it.

> Couldn't you also just have an LLM review the PR and quickly fix any issues? Or even have it convert the PR into a list of specs, and then reimplement from there as you see fit?

Sometimes I'm not a fan of the change in its entirety and want to do something different but along the same lines. It would be faster for me to point the agent at the PR and tell it "Implement these changes but with these alterations..." and iterate with it myself. I find the back and forth in pull requests to be overly tiresome.

Yea this is operating on the pointer to the values, but if you use just an `unsigned a` it uses xor

`-Wall` is your friend and boy it is a major irritant using third party sloppy libraries when statically compiling it all.

Yes, especially if you are using a WAL.

10-Ks are going to be written by LLMs increasingly soon. I wonder how this will impact LLMs reading them.

I've trained myself to avoid this entirely by avoiding changing lines unnecessarily. With LLMs, I also force them to stay concise and ONLY change what is absolutely necessary.

The crazier fact is that a hand full of cities alone in the US has a higher population than all of Norway.

The modding community was gigantic for 3 and was simply amazing being a part of it.

I actually preferred Civ 3 to 2 and 4. It scratched a certain itch.

Awesome. Good luck and I hope to see it.

I played A-10 Cuba a ton on an old Pentium 3. Are you doing this in a repo somewhere?

It's fast. I don't know if they are conflating the actual compiler being slow with xmake executing it.

I did not spot those in the docs. Thanks a ton. This will help my autoformatter not completely wreck my files.

I use it for personal projects and I find it substantially easier to mess around with compiling shaders to SPIRV, processing assets, etc... But some of my gripes are, although it _is_ lua, there is some magic fuckery going on. When you specify targets, things for that target need to be close to the definition, and it feels very odd in a lua language to not have `target("name", function (ctx) ... end)`.

Anyways, not going to die on that hill and I'll keep using it because it's simple and works well for my needs. One thing I do like is that I am not having to constantly keep a skeleton CMake project around to copy paste and setup.

People getting hung up on `_t` usage being reserved for posix need to lighten up. I doubt they'll clash with my definitions and if does happen in the future, I'll change the typedef name.
