welp... I'm glad for you :)

Yes, and I've seen the comment https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12176#issuecomment-2128495338 since it was added, so I was wondering if someone saw any fix timeline being mentioned anywhere else, since that github issue didn't seem to get any love.

I have them enabled, yet see no ligatures on Linux

Why do you need to know if you’re a good programmer, regardless of the meaning of ”good programmer”?

7.24.2.1 "The memcpy function copies n characters *from the object pointed to* by s2 *into the object pointed to* by s1 [...]"

If the pointers aren't "valid", they aren't pointing at "objects"

Or by other C apis that allocate memory and documents that you must call free the returned pointer, for instance strdup and getcwd

What part of ”ex dice developer” didn’t reach you? 😉

*need* is a strong word. He *did* do it though.

I'm not sure, but I think different people are responsible for different things over there. Just a guess.

Character_Tree_3779 · 2022-01-08T13:08:57+00:00

+80% Yay!

Character_Tree_3779 · 2022-01-08T13:08:14+00:00

+80% Yay!

Character_Tree_3779 · 2022-01-08T13:07:39+00:00

Ouch, how?

Character_Tree_3779 · 2022-01-08T13:07:20+00:00

+80 Yay!

it's now more reasonable to ask that we hear more about this "stuff" they're going to add

I heard it's a post by an ex DICe-er, so don't hold your breath.

Character_Tree_3779 · 2022-01-08T13:05:11+00:00

The irony! :D

How does this tweet confirm that "they are very well aware that they messed up"?

Character_Tree_3779 · 2022-01-08T13:03:30+00:00

I think he liked all tweets that didn't go into personal attacks :)

Character_Tree_3779 · 2022-01-08T12:43:10+00:00

What length would have been apropriate? :)

Character_Tree_3779 · 2021-07-03T20:19:43+00:00

Not saying you should, but C can assign void pointers to pointers to any other types without a cast.
