My first thought was "weird, they made a language called k even though there is already a language called K". I then realized it's actually talking about K. Thoroughout the article it's spelled k consistently except at t

For me it depends on what I need. Google -> stackoverflow is typically much faster than chatgpt. If you are a fast typer and can formulate a short question then you can often get from thought to answer in well under 10 seconds. With chat

Most businesses struggle to stay afloat without adding racial discrimination. I suspect almost all such businesses would die quickly. So yes, there would be such public disgust and stigma that even those patrons who valued such a business w

In theory this discrimination will be discovered (as in, see article) and if people don't like it they will select for companies that do not have (or have less) such discrimination. If all businesses discriminate then there is an oppor

Please show me how to do the equivalent of https://github.com/stillwwater/raycaster/blob/master/src/boo... in C. There are many examples that are impossible in C, I just picked an obvious one.
