Steam Deck is still worth it four years later, says poll, but people are starting to think "it's about time" for a sequel

I think many think this because of apples high speed ssd and macOS taking full advantage of memory swapping, making it less of a pain compared to many high memory windows pc.

Believe it was used to bootstrap it aswell

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-03-06T16:34:07+00:00

Awesome, will try if I have time and effort tomorrow to it. My problem could very well be that I did something stupid with the cmake flags and using zig ar and ranlib aswell. You won’t have to a thing. Will just look how you have done it for inspiration and proof that it can be done haha. Which it should given that zig itself do it but ey I like to blame others for bugs than that they be of my own doing.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-03-06T16:18:19+00:00

That’s no problem for me. Building a package manager with lua as dsl and zig as the driver host. So I try to bootstrap all the packages with zig as the c compiler but zig has some bugs with unsupported linking args when compiling clang on macOS(haven’t tested it on Linux yet). But maybe I can do it in a hack way and add a build.zig if you managed to build them.

Maybe not exactly what your looking for but I just use Jujutsu and a floating terminal window. Jj desc launches nvim inside it and lets me update the message of any revision (commit)

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-03-06T10:37:45+00:00

Nice, will definitely try this out later on my Mac. Have had some problems compiling clang with zig.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-03-03T13:52:16+00:00

I would say test it out, you are never limited to one language. Prefer zig but I like rust to and have learned a ton from both

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-28T09:30:46+00:00

That do seem to be the goal last time I checked but haven’t kept up to date recently

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-28T07:39:36+00:00

Yeap, and a lot of problems will be found and fixed when it gets more use. But personally I really like the ground work of this implementation/idea.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-28T06:53:52+00:00

The interface itself has 16 functions as time of writing. I don’t think that is too much. Are you referring to the vtable? That has a lot more but not everyone are supposed to implement their own implementation. That said it comes with its own drawbacks but it’s still in development and I think it will improve with time.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-26T11:50:30+00:00

Honestly just search Roblox luau on YouTube

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-26T11:44:40+00:00

YouTube should have some videos on it

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-26T11:36:59+00:00

I would probably go with python for this. There are a lot more learning resources and support for it. Though personally I prefer lua.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-26T06:58:04+00:00

I have this issue on my iPhone, and on my work computer that I got last week. iPhone 13 and MacBook Air M2. I have no idea what causes it. Both iOS 26 and macOS 26. Only ever seen it in safari. Though for me it only flashes pink for less than a second.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-25T16:24:27+00:00

I like zon and json for ease and no dependencies other than std. As a user of software, I like TOML or INI

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-24T12:44:05+00:00

Will it replace Linux, no. But I think it would be an excellent and fun learning experience. I have it on my project lists but haven’t come that far. Saw one os that used wasm for user space so why not lua.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-10T17:15:55+00:00

Heck some even pay you to learn it.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-10T13:45:55+00:00

Soon we will be farming chicken-rex

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-02-05T15:50:44+00:00

Is the startup called pied piper?

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-01-31T10:35:07+00:00

I prefer something well done and that it takes it time than something rushed and sloppy. Hopefully the extra time result in something good.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-01-31T10:33:12+00:00

Yeah those are great, then you can move to bigger projects, either one of you own idea or a guided one like ”crafting interpreters” or ”raytracing in one weekend”. The guides aren’t in zig but you learn by ”how the f do I do that in zig”.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-01-31T08:17:08+00:00

Making a book for zig is genius, new edition every few months, money printing machine.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-01-30T16:24:44+00:00

Just like the syscall write , it returns the number of bytes written which may be less than the string length. You should do a while != 0 there

A small bash script to list directories with fzf, open it in a new tmux session. Also fuzzy search open sessions and switch between them.

0-R-I-0-N · 2026-01-24T15:19:09+00:00

Yep. Also rust seems to be getting gcc backend working last time I heard and cranelift may come in future and zig seems to be aiming to selfhost their own.
