This article, and the mountain picture, are the only pages indexed by Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Arelaxing.run Chances are, this is the site's inaugural post.

> 4x slower coreutils I doubt this is true in practice. The majority of coreutils spend the majority of their time waiting for the results of IO/syscalls. (The exception would probably be, the hashing utilities like md5sum.)

It's about practicing how to read and write. Skills that you'll benefit from in every form of knowledge work that you'll ever do. I would cut almost every other class from the curriculum before cutting English.

That bears little resemblance to the Signal concerns. The reason people are worried about losing their personal messages is not lost productivity. It's also not even really the same situation. A more apt analogy would be, if switching

Epic's fee for 3rd-party payments is 0%. 12% is if you sell directly through Epic's platform - nobody is claiming Apple shouldn't get a cut of that for their own platform.

The entire thing literally reads like an Onion piece. If I'd read this exact article in The Onion I would've considered it brilliant comedy.

That's sensible, but I think default styles for specific elements are not part of the CSS standard, and are instead dictated by the user-agent stylesheet of your browser.

Great site! I tend to advocate for people to study design patterns. Not for the purpose that you will necessarily ever use most (or even any) of these exact patterns in your software, but just that you've strengthened your mental muscl

Your confusion seems to stem from the assumption that, making a statement is an implicit assertion that most people believe the opposite of that statement. In reality, statements are often made rather for the purpose of emphasis or rhetoric

"Networking", in the abstract, can be good for finding a job. As they say, it's who you know not what you know. That being said, industry networking events , like conferences and such, are almost not at all useful for that p

"one-shot" usually just means, one example and its correct answer was provided in the prompt. See also, "zero-shot" / "few-shot" etc.

That metaphor is a bit strained, since in reality, heart surgery is so high stakes that there is no (legal) way to just crank through hundreds of them for the purpose of racking up experience. (You can operate on cadavers, sure, but it&#x27

Nobody's trying to sell you on anything. You again seem to be out-of-context with respect to the discussion being had. The parent commenter stated that sum types work differently from a hypothetical float / NaN split, because comp

The kind of defensive programming you're talking about has almost nothing to do with the contents of this article. This article is mostly just about structuring code so that bugs appear at compile time rather than runtime.

You keep talking about Rust, but I'm not referring to Rust. This thread is discussing a (hypothetical, as-yet undeveloped) type system for a new version of Nim. Hypothetically, no, the float type would not admit NaNs. You would be prev

This is AI's Segway era. Perfectly functional device, but the early-2000s notion that it was going to become the primary mode of transportation was just an investor-fueled pipe dream.

I love how you tried to intentionally demonstrate that it's a normal speech pattern, but then your own sentence didn't even match the speech pattern. This AI speech pattern is not just an em dash—it's a trite and tonally awkw

There's nothing preventing this for floats and ints in principle. e.g. the machine representation could be float, but the type in the eyes of the compiler could be `float | nan` until you check it for nan (at which point it becomes `fl

I never said that all Zig users care about recovering from allocation failure.

I imagine people who care about this sort of thing are happy to disable overcommit, and/or run Zig on embedded or specialized systems where it doesn't exist.

You surely must be referring to Rust, the only multithreaded language with async-await in which data races aren't possible. Rust is lovely and all, but is a bad example for the performance side of the argument, since in practice librar
