By "down under," I mean as close to the kernel as possible, before you get too excited, it's not really that close, but it's as close as system libraries. I finally got audio to work! Not perfectly, but still functional. Turns out I just…
Truth be told, I've heard about Zig being safer than C, but I did not know what it meant—mainly because I did not know why C is unsafe. Today I came across one of those scenarios. It stumped me for a couple of hours until I realized…
