Here is a newbie's take on Zig vs Rust:

Zig code can be more flexible, but toolchain is not mature enough so that it's not very friendly to newbie. Great potential.

Rust code is not as flexible and the type system is very strict. However, it has a good toolchain. With the help of GPT, I can write code.

There is a saying that don't use Rust for your next start up. It is largely true pre GPT era because figuring out a Rust compiling error is very time consuming. However, with GPT4, most compilation error can be addressed in seconds.

Great Compiler (formal semantics) + Great AI (lossy search) can make magic happen.

P.S. Writing low level code is super satisfying

My OBS suddently can't capture VS Code. WTF

Now, there is no reason for me to stream on YouTube primarily. https://zap.stream goat.

I hate the new UI of Chrome

Transacting freely is a super power. I am amazed by it every time.

Oh yeah! That’s the word I am looking for. Nemo sadness. That’s the inhuman feeling all generated images give me.

so the background of No.8 & 9? Yes, I like them as well. Maybe the background of No.8 and the logo No.1

nostr:nprofile1qqs8ea5tg73tys7svv3tlkm2rsjz97ut8gvdrzjujrp8kk0g7cf920sh23xwr 我看到了你新改的profile的介绍,这个理念正是我想说的👍

3 requirements for this new web in an ideal situation:

1. its own network protocol, we don't need all the HTTP legacy

2. lower level content format

a) binary support is a must

3. separation of content and code (which is kind of happening already)

We are at most 33% there, I will say only 3.3% there.

which one better? credit to GPT4

As much as I was amazed by AI. All the generated image / picture stuff just creep me out. All those feels creepy, no soul, look like something from the deadest dream and hell. Beauty is very much lost.

One thing I have learned over the past 10 months:

It's not because my tools (programming languages JS & CSS, platform Web) suck so that I can't make great software. It's just because I have never done any software project significant enough to acquire the skill of doing big software.

The tool is not perfect and I sucked.

Therefore, before I even attempt to make a new language, a new framework, a new platform, I need to exhaust the current one first by shipping real things.

The end matters more than the means.

GPT4 & Tailwind make me love CSS for the first time.

CSS is a everything-everywhere-at-once language. Without the super power of LLM, I can't never learn it in a mind flowing way (learn as I work through my design & code)
