I would begin by questioning the premise. Do you have actual numbers on this? I’m not really aware of any widely adopted software that’s written in Odin. Can name multiple in the case of Zig

A pretty obvious explanation as to why Odin has more games written in it is that the language is somewhat explicitly marketed towards that use-case, even going as far to have a vendor library collection that includes many popular game dev libraries.

Get organized. Join a mass movement, a local group or a union. There are many people doing things. Stop complaining then excusing yourself for not being one of them.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. This letter is completely toothless, and what you're suggesting is literally the only thing that these people could do that would make a difference.

This opinion coming from one of the most compromised people possible on this issue, lol.

> Remember that it was Jai that inspired all these new languages

You’ve made this claim on here before and when I asked you to substantiate it with a source you were completely unable to.

Ah, I see what you're saying. Agreed!

I think it's clear that the reduction in teen pregnancy is indeed a big contributor to the decreasing fertility rate. I would guess the reason this doesn't get brought up in discussions about how to _increase_ the fertility rate is that reversing the trend on teen pregnancy is just really not a palatable solution to many people. Although there are some, usually on the religious right, who advocate for banning contraception, teaching abstinence-only sex education, etc., which would most likely have the effect of reversing the teen pregnancy trend.

Good reminder to always remember Chesterton's Fence. The post indicates that the bottleneck occurs when "many thousands" of EC2 instances are connecting simultaneously. In order for this to happen, presumably someone had to turn `max_connections` way up on their database server to make this to work at all. Seems like the issue could have been avoided at that point with a bit more understanding about why the default is an order of magnitude or more lower than whatever they tuned it to.

Clear has nothing to do with security. You’re just paying to cut the security line.

Not that I'm anyone important, but at this point if I google someone and they show up on the Canary Mission website, I'm inclined to hold them in higher regard.

Huh? It's quite sensible to make reference to someone else's work when writing a philosophy paper, and there are many ways to do so that do not amount to an appeal to authority.

You can kinda do this with Zig’s packed structs and arbitrary-width integers

I think most serious left-wing people also hold a strong aversion to gambling on the grounds that it's financially exploitative and can be viewed as a regressive tax on the poor/uneducated.

Rich people continually attempting to accrue even more money is not exactly an unheard-of phenomenon

I'm sorry, but if you still have any expectation that this administration will engage in good faith in any democratic process, you either haven't been paying attention or are engaging in willful self-delusion. They do not believe in democracy. They care about free speech only insofar as they can use it to claim they are being victimized, but will gleefully take it away from their opponents. They laugh in your face while they pardon the J6 insurrectionists. The presidential election is not and ought not be a referendum on whether or not we all get to have our rights trampled by gun-toting masked goons. At a certain point you have to stand up for what's right--that is, a reclamation of democracy.

I don't accept the framing that this is about law enforcement in the first place. I believe that this administration is run by xenophobic right wing extremists who care little for the distinction between legal and illegal immigration. They have weaponized ICE against the Somali community in Minneapolis today, the overwhelming majority of whom are legal refugees. As we have seen, they will not hesitate to weaponize ICE against anyone else who crosses them. I believe the organization does not exist to protect or serve the interests of the American public and should be abolished.

I think most people involved in protests would not characterize the thing they are resisting as merely "law enforcement". What they are experiencing is an occupation by a politically weaponized paramilitary organization which is going door-to-door in their neighborhoods wearing masks, wielding ARs, yelling at people and brutalizing them. How do you think you would react if this was taking place in your community?

The reasons stated in the article have nothing to do with border enforcement, and observed supply shock started before 2024. The most recent year of data mentioned in the article ended in April 2025. But by all means, if you have information these researchers don’t, feel free to share it here.

Two people got black bagged by the federal government less than a year ago for expressing this opinion

I meant that I had not heard that both Zig and Odin were inspired by Jai

> the language that inspired conception of both of these

I haven’t heard this before. Do you have a source on this?

The actual writes don’t need to be persisted on transaction commit, only the WAL. In most DBs the actual writes won’t be persisted until the written page is evicted from the page cache. In this sense, writing WAL generally does provide better perf than synchronously doing a random page write

Not that I believe people should be jailed for speech, but merely referring to what he said as “anti-immigration” is very much burying the lede

Sorry, but no. Just because the graphics have some cartoony stylization does not mean that a lot of thought and effort did not go into them, not to mention lots of work from artists. You absolutely could not recreate something that looks like that with python in a few weeks. Not that the language/engine was strictly necessary to do so either, but you’re way off-base in terms of the level of work and effort required for these things.

I'm surprised he made no mention of the SDL3 GPU API since his proposed API has pretty significant overlap with it.

Not to mention the number of ordinary people who still parrot the utter dogshit arguments to this day despite being actively harmed by them

In New York, we are trying to implement universal childcare.

Works for lots of other fonts too :)

How are you crashing out over a $9 toll while using a mode of transport that's (conservatively) 3x more expensive to commute just one way? Good grief lmao
