Skepticism is healthy. You've found that the numbers don't make sense at face value. The problem is that you stopped there, you haven't even made any attempt at reconciling them with the original claim. What if the US number

I've had the same experience as you with Zig. I quite love the idea of it Zig but the undocumented churn is a bit much. I wish they had auto generated docs that reflect the current state of the stdlib, at least. Even if it just liste

It's entirely possible that a cold pre-wash helps avoid staining! But that's not what I'm complaining about. TC made specific claims about the benefits of a hot pre-wash. Instead of countering those, the blog's author de
