Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman.
About halfway through- it’s really good so far. He makes a compelling case for how our culture has changed in many ways, often for the worse, with the introduction of television.

DX is great.
In most cases, ships absolutely zero JS to the client, meaning super fast load times.

And so I was wondering whether using it is still worth it.
Obviously, it probably still has many benefits over C but something like Zig might be simpler and better suited.
Would be interested to hear your experience.
So far, I’ve seen mixed reviews. Some say that you can end up using unsafe a lot and so it’s better to stick with C or even use Zig.
Wondered if there was any merit to this.
I didn't want to go down the route of implementing a bunch of features without there being a actual need for them, especially for an initial version.
I will add the resulting compression sizes- there is not much between them (pzip was around 2% larger for the 10GB directory). Although, I do have some optimizations in mind which will bring this down further.
I’ve reduced the font size for small screens so the post density should be higher.
Agree that learning to solder is on the basic side but I thought it would be nice to have some posts for complete beginners.
If you have any feature requests, let me know:
Yes, they do operate further from the underlying hardware- but as a beginner, this isn’t really important. Once you’ve grasped the basics, languages like C become a lot more accessible and you can better appreciate what the higher level languages do for you.
I guess it’s personal preference at the end of the day.
