Various thi.ng updates, bug fixes, additions and new version of https://github.com/thi-ng/zig-thing/ — now fully compatible with current Zig v0.14.1
On a more diary/devlog note: I also updated several of my Zig based work-in-progress art pieces to the latest version (some of them not touc…

PSA for people using #Ziglang via the #ASDF version manager: The "official" Zig plugin seems to be unmaintained and doesn't support the new URL format of recent Zig releases, but there's a new fork of the plugin which does. You can switch to it via:

you think i"m going to zig but instead I zap.

so oft ich es probiere:
ich schaffe es nie, eine Schutzfolie aufs Handy aufzutragen OHNE das es Blasen oder Unreinheiten gibt.
selbst mit zig mal putzen davor

Ok, ich wusste, dass wir nicht so beliebt sind. Aber dass man jetzt in den Medien «Schweizer» anstelle «korrupter Funktionär» schreibt, finde ich etwas fies.
Und wenn der Infantilo Dir eine Garantie gibt, dann weisst Du, dass Du so schnell als möglich wegrennen musst. 😱

Zig Grossanlässe in den USA - Donald Trumps Politik wirft Schatten auf die Sportwelt
Der US-Präsident ist seit 100 Tagen im Amt. Seine angestossenen Veränderungen haben auch Auswirkungen auf den Sport.

Christian Klein, SAP-Chef, warnt: Mit US-Hyperscalern wie AWS, Azure und Google Cloud zu konkurrieren, indem Europa zig Rechenzentren baut, ist „völlig verrückt“. Die Lösung? Nicht Infrastruktur, sondern intelligente KI-Anwendungen machen Europa stark! Die Zukunft liegt in smarter KI, nicht in digitalen Kraftmeiereien gegen US-Riesen. #Golem

SAP-Chef: "Mit US-Hyperscalern zu konkurrieren, ist völlig verrückt" - Golem.de
In Frankreich und anderswo in Europa viele neue Rechenzentren zu bauen, sei eine völlig falsch umgesetzte Souveränität. SAP-Chef Christian Klein schlägt etwas anderes vor.

Zigzagging Diffusion and Non-Standard Transport in Particle-laden Nanopores Under Extreme Confinement
Understanding transport subject to molecular-scale confinement is key to advancing nanofluidics, yet classical hydrodynamic laws often fail at these scales. Here, we study a model system: transport of toluene as a solvent and small fullerenes as model particles confined within alumina slit nanopores using molecular dynamics simulations. We find that toluene organizes into discrete layers whose commensurability with the pore width leads to a striking, non-monotonic, zig-zag dependence of transpo…

HBS -- Hardware Build System: A Tcl-based, minimal common abstraction approach for build system for hardware designs
Build systems become an indispensable part of the software implementation and deployment process. New programming languages are released with the build system integrated into the language tools, for example, Go, Rust, or Zig. However, in the hardware description domain, no official build systems have been released with the predominant Hardware Description Languages (HDL) such as VHDL or SystemVerilog. Moreover, hardware design projects are often multilanguage. The paper proposes a new build s…

Simplicial properadic homotopy
In this paper, we settle the homotopy properties of the infinity-morphisms of homotopy (bial)-gebras over properads, i.e. algebraic structures made up of operations with several inputs and outputs. We start by providing the literature with characterizations for the various types of infinity-morphisms, the most seminal one being the equivalence between infinity-quasi-isomorphisms and zig-zags of quasi-isomorphisms which plays a key role in the study the formality property. We establish a simplic…
