Compilers are good at their job! Don't make the same mistake I did, always analyze performance against production builds 🤣

Totally, though FWIW I've had better results running a package update on arch daily as opposed to infrequently. In 8 years I've had maybe 2 minor hiccups due to daily updates? But the one time I forgot to update for ~2 months I ended up having to do a complete fresh install.

Interesting, I must be using staging from when I had to grab newer amdgpu firmware.

Pretty sure 6.16 has been in since last week 🤔 I’ve got it already and I’m not using an unofficial kernel package.

As far as I know, the only officially licensed stuff (other than from their own museum store and collabs like Uniqlo) is from www.donguri-sora.com but they don't ship internationally. Apparently this site can act as a middle-man? neokyo.com/blog/donguri...

Kiki is another obvious choice for younger kids. Personally I also really enjoyed From Up on Poppy Hill, Only Yesterday, and the Wind Rises. Would definitely recommend visiting the Ghibli Museum in the Mitaka area of Tokyo if you have a chance. Book a tour, tickets are hard to get for foreigners.

Feels like a nice return to a lower level without going all the way back to C. Curious to see how the build system and package management play out. I keep seeing references to it being similar to Rust but I haven't had time to work with rust in 7 years. I remember that I liked cargo, but not why.

As far as Zig goes, what’s your impression so far? I’m working through the book + Ziglings and enjoying it, but I’m looking forward to seeing how it feels when I eventually get to use it on a larger project.
