IME, Claude is quite good at generating Lua code for neovim. It takes some back and forth because there's no easy way for it to directly test what it's writing, but it works.

They just did a massive reactor that broke nearly 100% of existing code. Only an early language can do that.

What version are you referring to? I've had zero issues updating my zig stuff to 0.15.2 with frontier LLM assistance.

I’ll use Ghostty as an example because that’s the only software I use that I know is written in Zig. It’s also a moderately complex project not a toy project.

Its Zig 0.15 effort started in August and was only complete in October (see first PR at https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8372). And many issues were encountered and solved along the way. And of course during all of this they also encountered an issue in Zig itself: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/24627


The huge change that will be passing Io objects around like you have with Allocator.

0.16 changes things around dramatically.

Docs on this?

Here[1]. This mentions async, but it affects every single use of IO functions.

Also anything that reads environment variables.

If you don't use CLAUDE.md, do you tell the agent to run pytest every single session?

I'm assuming this is in the US? I'm curious why it's 2 months there but 3 or 4 (men/women) in the UK.

I don't donate whole blood too often (they usually want me for platelets every 2 weeks if they can get it).

56 days or 8 weeks for whole blood.

It doesn't say why.


More vampires further north, so most people have less extra blood?

But more seriously, it seems like 2 months is enough for most people, but not everyone. So it just comes down to whether you want to turn some people away at donation time because their iron is too low, or make everyone wait a bit longer between regular donations.


Bloodletting is still a worthwhile treatment for certain conditions

That's for messages. The discussion was about email _addresses_. The former logically makes sense as an object, but the latter can easily be implemented as a raw string, hence the discussion.

Ubuntu 25.10 uses 6.17[1], which was released in September 2025[2]. If you're going to complain about something, at least get your facts straight.

Okay thats nice, but I actually lived through this and its not always this nice.

When you can't run your Nvidia 3060 because the kernel was outdated, you don't really bother with outdated linux anymore.

Do you think we are just making this stuff up? All these comments about bluetooth not working. Bugs not fixed. Having to do surgery with the terminal to get stuff working... We are just making stuff up?

Buddy, I would have loved if outdated linux worked.


r for uv run

j for just

I use fish abbreviations for this, as they expand to the full command in the shell history.


I use ~/.local/bin for installed programs, and ~/bin for my own scripts.

For the unaware:

> Curtis Guy Yarvin (born 1973), also known by the pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American far-right political blogger and software developer. He is known, along with accelerationist philosopher Nick Land, for founding the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neo-reactionary movement (NRx).

The author (jart, Justine Tunney) has openly supported these ideas: https://thebaffler.com/latest/mouthbreathing-machiavellis


What does this have to do with the merit of his associates' financial advice?

Don't think about the "financial advice" in isolation. Think of the incentives. Why did they write this post?

Oh so they’re a cryptofascist, for both senses of the word crypto

If one of those meanings is "one who hides their support for fascism", it doesn't apply, as they've made public displays of support. It's just that most people know them for their technical accomplishments without doing further research on who they are. This is understandable, hence my warning.

Everyone in the IDW or who followed Mencius moldbug always told normies they weren’t fascist and that you just called them Nazis because you disagreed with them until the current day when they are now more open about being in what they consider a post Constitutional era.

That’s why they were called cryptofascists even though I agree they’ve dropped the hidden part since they feel they have the power to get away with it.
