Zig Will Succeed
To understand why I say Zig will be a successful programming language, we need to know why all popular languages are that popular. How popular programming languages get popular ? 🔗 In a talk by Richard Feldman, he talked about why isn’t functional programming the norm . And he answered the question “how did they get popular?” by this answer. Killer App C as a systems programming language because UNIX is written in C.
Zig Programming Language
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. A Simple Language 🔗 Focus on debugging your application rather than debugging your programming language knowledge. No hidden control flow. No hidden memory allocations. No preprocessor, no macros. Comptime 🔗 A fresh approach to metaprogramming based on compile-time code execution and lazy evaluation. Call any function at compile-time. Manipulate types as values without runtime overhead. Comptime emulates the target architecture.

Measuring website responsiveness : Interaction to Next Paint (INP), next year
There is web vitals which indicates the website health and performance. It is like health vitals in medicine which indicates the human health stats and performance metrics such as blood pressure. Core Web Vitals has many metrics such as First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Total Blocking Time (TBT) and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).

[update][tutorial] reduce memory usage in Google Chrome Browser
Google Chrome informed me that the great suspender extension contains malware. Here is a screenshot of the malware alert. I installed this extension to save memory by suspending inactive tabs. But Google Chrome browser, now, has a similar functionality, so, I don’t need this extension anymore. I uninstalled the Chrome extension.

convert old('d') to $model->d in Laravel using regular expressions (RegEx)
While developing a website in PHP Laravel, I reused create.blade.php as edit.blade.php. So I need to edit some things, especially the input values. In create.blade.php we use old('something') to retain the current <input> value by the user. But in edit.blade.php we use $model->something to get the <input> value from the project backend. So, I need to convert every old() to $model. But I am too lazy to rewrite all of them manually.

What about deleting the remote branch? The branch on the remote machine/repo.
[fixed] Error: lulu: uninstall script /Applications/LuLu.app/Contents/Resources/LuLu Uninstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/LuLu Uninstaller does not exist.
When I tried to upgrade LuLu the firewall with command brew upgrade lulu, I faced this error. Error: lulu: uninstall script /Applications/LuLu.app/Contents/Resources/LuLu Uni nstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/LuLu Uninstaller does not exist. Then thought of trying to remove/uninstall lulu, then re-install it. So, I ran brew remove --cask lulu using homebrew package manager. But the same error occurred. I thought maybe it did not upgrade as I did not use --cask in the first command.
