I went down the same path last week, and found Zigbook to be a very poor resource for learning. +1 for ziglings, that's been my favorite so far


How does bun compare? Does it have similar features as well?


yes bun does both of the things mentioned in the parent comment:

> Unlike other npm clients, Bun does not execute arbitrary lifecycle scripts like postinstall for installed dependencies. Executing arbitrary scripts represents a potential security risk.

https://bun.com/docs/pm/cli/install#lifecycle-scripts

> To protect against supply chain attacks where malicious packages are quickly published, you can configure a minimum age requirement for npm packages. Package versions published more recently than the specified threshold (in seconds) will be filtered out during installation.

I live in a city that has had Waymo's (via Uber) for a while now and I have done a complete 180 on them. Not only are they usually cheaper than a traditional Uber, but they drive far more defensively, and don't come with the social baggage associated with a traditional Uber either (tipping, small talk).


> Not only are they usually cheaper than a traditional Uber

Enjoy it while it lasts. Uber/Lyft were far cheaper than other options when they launched until they put everything else out of business, then jacked up the price.


> Uber/Lyft were far cheaper than other options when they launched until they put everything else out of business, then jacked up the price

Source? Particularly inflation adjusted? Uber, specifically, started out as black cars only.


Rides were like $4-7. A ride over $10 was rare.


I took a ride home two nights ago for under $7. On the other hand, I tend to avoid Ubers in New York (versus taxis), but that’s one part local demand and one part local regulation.


That's been my attitude as well. I'm not convinced they'll stay cheaper for long, and when I say "cheaper" its marginal. Cost of the ride is the similar, but it seems there is no tip built into the price yet.


Many of my female friends have had bad experiences with ride share drivers, so I think there's a strong market demand.


Its funny because when ride sharing first came out -- everyone had a great experience for the most part (early adopters/risk takers). Then the long tail (and VC growth money disappeared) came around and the pay got worse, job was a grind and the quality tanked.

I don't doubt that we will have the same thing with all these new options. Maybe the social baggage won't be there but there will be weird new things that pop up...


> the long tail (and VC growth money disappeared) came around and the pay got worse, job was a grind and the quality tanked

As well as the prices, wait times and ubiquity.

I’m not saying it’s a panacea. But I don’t think most people want to go back to when Uber was only black cars.


When it first came out you didn't have people working it full time. It would be like dads making side money after the kid was put to bed.


Or just live in a non retarded country where neither tipping nor small talk is expected when you take a fucking taxi. Plus it will probably just cost half or less by itself

> How it makes us less human

Fewer horses, too!

There is nothing natural about driving a car. Nothing democratic about a driver in front ferrying one or two in the back, both knowing each will rate the other, one knowing they are working for a tip, all while managing a fleet of apps whose owners run datacenters to rip them off.

Human-driven cars were a deadly necessity. But like lead pipes and child labour, we’re better off past it.


Drivers were never a necessity for anyone but automobile manufacturing executives.


That gives me an idea. Autonomous taxis with cats in them.


90% of what you said still relates to capitalism, more specifically surveillance capitalism.


> 90% of what you said still relates to capitalism

It relates to economics. Do you think a central planner would swear off robotics because it feels dehumanizing?


A central planner probably would've built mass transit back in the 50s. And most people wouldn't have cars. And the ones that did would be driving trabants.


> It relates to economics. Do you think a central planner would swear off robotics because it feels dehumanizing?

This is a straw man. There are many shades of grey between big companies, fueled by cheap VC money, that wipe out taxi drivers associated in small companies by operating at loss for many years and a centrally planned economy.


Yeah our humanity relies on worrying about if your uber driver might be a reckless driver or harass you. Driving is a means to an end, self driving cars will one day be cheaper better and safer which is a boon to all consumers at the expense of the comparatively few drivers


Do you miss asking the switchboard operator to connect your call?

People are trying to get from one place to another, not have a social experience. If they could teleport themselves they would.



It's really complicated. Because even though there might be a bit of friction between you and that rideshare driver, ride-sharing keeps a lot of people off the streets.

If this technology really takes off in the next 5 to 10 years, we're going to see a lot of people without the employer of last resort. Eventually gig work might disappear completely. In a lot of cities you'll see people on electric bikes or scooters delivering food. If that's completely automated, sure it'll be a lot quicker and faster, but what's going to happen to people who depend on these jobs.

I don't think our economic system is ready for this. And I'm not talking about any particular country either, it's going to be a worldwide issue.


Humans are quite bad at a lot of primarily human tasks... I'm grateful every time I don't have to deal with a secretary behind the phone, bank teller, travel agent, etc thanks to all these functionalities having become automated. One exception was ordering food in Japan at some restaurants which was done on iPads and food was being delivered by robots, because I actually really enjoyed interacting with the delightful and polite people over there. I cannot say the same about people in where I live.


How does it make us less human?


The less social interaction part.


The reason it's illegal to build a small grocery store near where people live (so they don't have to spent so much time and money acquiring groceries) has the complete opposite to do with capitalism.


Fossabot[0] is also the name of an established Twitch/YouTube chat bot.

You’re not. Everytime I see him on Twitch I have to do a double take.


Did not know he was a streamer now, thanks!


I did not know this was a project that was in progress, and its quite exciting. I love Godot, and am quite fond a Zig as well. I'll be keeping my eye on this.


Kagi has been one of the biggest value adds to my online life in a long time. Paying for the Kagi ultimate plans gets me access to the latest LLM models, and an incredible customizable search engine with a large focus on privacy. The Orion browser has been my favorite to use on iOS, I’m not sure if I’d use the desktop version because of its web kit base. But I’m glad to see it’s moving forward.


Using a non-chromium browser is actually the only thing we can do nowadays to promote an open web. Also I have next to no issues using webkit on the web currently. It’s a good engine now.


> Using a non-chromium browser is actually the only thing we can do nowadays to promote an open web.

Orion is closed source.


I believe the above is just referring to diversity of engines. If 99% of everyone uses Chromium then there’s no incentive to support open standards that work across all browsers.


I keep being confused by this. People mention that Kagi has all these features but I never see them, do I have to up my subscription plan?


It seems that a lot of them are sort of "off" by default to keep search focused on search. If you want to get an LLM summary of a search, for example, end the search with a question mark. Example: "what is gravity?" instead of "what is gravity".

The summarizer lives at a different page, here: https://kagi.com/summarizer/


Can also click the quick answer link on existing search results page.

And each search result item had a menu that includes an option to summarize the page.


I use that super often, probably in vast majority of searches. It's basically an llm synthesized version of the results. You can also get it by the shortcut `q` on the results page, or by ending your query with a `?`


Oh I see. I knew "lenses" existed but as you say it's a multi-step process to use them and not from the browser search bar.


Lenses can be setup with bang notation. So a research lens could use !r your-query-here


You need the ultimate plan to get the assistant which gives access to lots of llms


I've been using a mix of Claude and Deepseek via the Kagi assistant to great success. Usually adding relevant sections of the docs alongside my question and reminding it to use svelte 5 syntax.


LazyGit is one of my favorite pieces of software. I use it everyday, I love how seamlessly it fits into my work flow. The fact that it outputs all of its commands has helped me form a deeper understanding of git and what it’s doing under the hood. Not to mention it saves a TON of time.


> Not to mention it saves a TON of time.

Depends on your workflow. I looked at the projects GitHub and I'm confused where the lazy part comes from. The UX seems more complex than just plain git which is much simpler for me. But I rarely do anything other than checkout, add, commit and rebase. And most of them are aliased co for checkout, ci for commit, etc and the rest are tab completed. Starting a TUI and navigating menus would be a waste of time for me.


Here is one thing: I work on a feature branch off of main. It takes me a bit and I want to rebase my branch onto the newest changes.

It seems with the git command line the way to do it is to switch to main then pull then switch back to my feature branch then rebase.

With lazygit i hit f on the main branch which pulls its changes then i can rebase (r) right away.

I also like to review the diff of each file before staging it. I get a nice list of changed files, i can select one and see the diff in it, then I can stage it.


> It seems with the git command line the way to do it is to switch to main then pull then switch back to my feature branch then rebase.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, you can do `git fetch origin` to fetch the latest branches from origin. And then `git rebase origin/main` to rebase the current branch against origin/main. origin/main doesn't have to be the same as local `main` so you don't need to switch branches at all.


It is workflow dependent for sure. I used to use aliased commands (still do sometimes), but I find that the muscle memory of lg (opens lazygit tui) -> a (git add -A) -> c (git commit -m "..." -> enter to be easier for me than typing each alias out. I like the lack of nested menus, everything is available via the top layer of the tui and most command are a single hotkey away.


There is a config setting for this “window-padding-x” I believe.
