   I rewrote J in C, or D in F#, or Whogivesafuck in Rust and it's 8% better but don't ask me for my benchmark because it's secret sauce.

   I'm sure he'd prefer that, but doing so would associate my email with my username (which I'd prefer to avoid), and it was demonstrably unnecessary, at least in this case.

   Mr. Gackle, you're a credit to yourself, and a hero to the rest of us. I did something pretty lazy by taking the poster's recent submissions, seeing if they were posted to lobste.rs earlier, and how often. Here's an slightly

   Stratchey defined "first-class objects". This was by analogy with "first-class citizens" in a legal/political sense, since they are treated just as well as any other object and have no additional limitations. If we

    Amusingly, I have the same experience as you and GP. Thee university wants to hear what the researchers have to say, but subsequently they decide independently what they're writing, strict scientific honesty be damned.

    I presume if you think eighths of an inch is good enough then you mostly work with large objects. Luckily outside of USA, Liberia, and Myanmar inch-based scales are rare nowadays, but I still come across specifications in small fractions of
