Yes, @huy_ngo, symbols. Things that get included in C/C++ context. There's a convention for putting used symbols for each header but it's hardly a popular one.
@huy_ngo, top level declarations in Zig are order-independent.

My birdsite timeline lately: Facebook employees and NFT people delivering sick burns against each other over who's doing a better job destroying the world.
That FPS tho, @matrix (-; For devices more of the embed side like the PinePhone, I think a native video pointer (like what we had last #FOSDEM) would be much better job than two-way video conference.
Thinking about this, there should really be self-hostable service for one-way video stream (that is playable via one's favorite media player), plus low-latency audio conference: it would perform drastically better on lower-end devices and connections, e.g. for online learning.

Already, @zethra, in case you haven't heard.
Nope, @huy_ngo, that was patched by Drew that day [0, 1]. What I did was rather less profound [2] d-;

TIL: many #pascal compilers allowed identifiers of any length, but only examined the first 8 characters to determine what the identifier pointed at.
So `foobarbaz` and `foobarbazqux` are both valid, but refer to the **same** variable!
What I _didn't_ learn was why anyone thought this was a good idea. I assume it was for performance reasons, since Free Pascal doesn't do it anymore (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Identifier#Significant_characters) and 8 makes me guess it has something to do with memory representation.
Anyone know?
It depends on what you want, @schlink. I use ole Vim and the only plugin I need is jedi for completion and documentation. Personally I prefer static (as well as dynamic) checks done in a terminal where I can freely scroll and manipulate the output.

Wrote a short guide on how not to lose your encrypted messages on @matrixdotorg@twitter.com as I think this topic isn't easily understood, especially by new users. https://gerstner.it/2021/02/matrix-and-e2e-encryption-or-how-not-to-lose-your-messages/
Any feedback is appreciated.

@Sumana Harihareswara nice😃
I think to get open source healthy we need more people using open source services. Therefore they would need to know about them. And there needs to be good content, so people stay with the open source service and spread the word.
But on that closed source github site there is only your twitter and not your mastadon account. Maybe the talk could also be streamed with open source services like @PeerTube or #owncast.😃

I missed this post when it came out in December: In Defense of Blub Studies, https://www.benkuhn.net/blub
Some really excellent points:
> Blub studies is a never-ending treadmill of engineering know-how. It’s the fiddly technical details of how Git stores data, or how Postgres locking semantics [work], or why pip install failed this time.…Blub studies is more generalizable than it seems, and has its own way of compounding over time, too. That makes it a lot more useful than you’d expect
