Projects / areas of specialization for learning zig
I did a hangman game, I'm doing a file compression tool next. I asked bing chat to recommend beginner projects for zig and that's what it told me. It also suggested a cli calculator and a cli text editor, but I didn't want to do that. My next thing will be something using https://github.com/michal-z/zig-gamedev

Just found out about Zig and wonder what would be the best graphics library to pair with it?
This repo may be useful. It isn't an engine or a renderer, but rather a collection of useful libraries if you do end up writing your own tools. https://github.com/michal-z/zig-gamedev

Is C++ still the language when entering 3D programming in 2023?
Something like vulkano in Rust or zig-gamedev in zig might be a much more enjoyable approach: They're similarly bare metal languages but have a lot of advantages over C++ (borrow checker's safety, simpler syntax). However, they're not commonly used by big studios.

Gamedev in zig
I've been working on a gamedev project in zig, using zig-gamedev. It has many libraries you can use, though my game is 2D. Feel free to check out my project if you want to see how I set things up. https://github.com/foxnne/aftersun

Pull requests took their name from the git request-pull script, which predates Github by a couple years: https://github.com/git/git/commit/ab421d2c7886341c246544bc8d...
It is called a pull request because you are asking someone to do a `git pull` from your branch.

CVE-2025-48384: Breaking Git with a carriage return and cloning RCE
I'm confused about the timeline here, the tag for 2.50.1 is from 2025-06-16 ( https://github.com/git/git/tags ). And the date for 2.50.1 on https://git-scm.com is also 2025-06-16.
But it seems like almost no distributions have patched it yet
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2025-48386 (debian as an example)
And the security advisory is from yesterday: https://github.com/git/git/security/advisories/GHSA-4v56-3xv...

Clone the repository: (Replace the URL with an actual Git repository URL) git clone https://github.com/git/git.git # This will clone the Git's own source code! For a smaller example, you can use a simple hello-world repo.

Decreasing Gitlab repo backup times from 48 hours to 41 minutes
They weren't, if you look at the fix [1] the dedupe loop was run in all cases, not just those with known dupes, so the performance hit was any bundle with lots of refs.

Man pages are great, man readers are the problem
adoc is fine and is more widely supported. Linux (the kernel) documentation is written in adoc, along with man pages for many projects like git:
