       @davidgerard @lyda @mawhrin I just checked the last ~30 commits and this looks like a complete fabrication. why do you say this?

       I have neurons that activate when people try to argue with me using the output of an LLMit's the same neurons that I used to spend debating fundamentalist christianity with a childhood friend. I'm talking real shit like literal interpretation of noah's ark, young earth creationism, etc, but like arguing for multiple months about it.I put those neurons away some time ago, I thought they were a waste of time. ...hello, old friends

       Thanks to bypassing the C/C++ API for constructing LLVM modules and instead building .bc files directly in memory, Zig's LLVM backend now supports incremental compilation.You'll still have to wait ages for LLVM to convert bitcode into object files, but at least you'll get instant type checking!https://ziglang.org/devlog/2026/#2026-04-08

       @regehr this comment has the voice of LLM outputI think HN is completely unreadable at this point. I don't mean in the sense that people love to say "don't read the comments" because they're too emotionally week to handle criticism, I mean that it's all LLM slop and you will literally rot your brain by reading it

       In a way, computing embodies the essence of humanity. We take a blank canvas of electrical fields - a purely physical phenomenon, devoid of inherent meaning - and imbue it with assumptions, values, and purpose, manifesting order despite a chaotic, uncaring universe; creating beautiful pockets of defiant structure, each clock cycle shielding these brittle gardens from entropy's relentless encroachment.

       don't worry everyone. codeberg is down, but thankfully, we all collectively, wisely invested in version control technology that stores issue metadata, merge request metadata, and user account metadata in the same decentralized manner as the code, so we can continue to work like normal, and periodically synchronize with each other, peer-to-peer stylegood thing we didn't foolishly all get used to using a separate DB for metadata that causes vendor lock in and requires high web server uptime
