The fact that they're all cubic isn't really the notable part of the runtime of computing the different decompositions, because the constants involved are really different. In practice, a common reason for computing many of these

This is a really great writeup! I was using Rust as my main programming language from some months before 1.0 up until maybe early 2019. I have only written somewhere in between 100 and 1k lines of Zig, but generally feel that I agree with

Denmark is also about 5 times as dense, so one could easily attribute the death number to that.

We don't need to wait two weeks; Sweden has significantly more deaths (110) than any of it's neighboring countries: Norway (25), Denmark (72), and Finland (11). [0]: https://www.corona.cloud/

You criticize Norway for continuing to pump up oil, which you attribute to greed, and then, in the same comment, point out that many other countries don't have the opportunities for renewable energy that Norway (allegedly) has. Do you
