I've always assumed array iteration is more expensive you don't know the size of the objects and/or they aren't contiguous.
Never in my life have I found these totally generic advice collations useful. They're always vague, unfalsifiable, borderline platitudes. They "work" for the same reasons horoscopes work, and I think a sizable minority,…
Absolutely. You're being downvoted because we're once again forgetting history as this modern wave of left-leaning pearl clutchers feels justified in having biased moderation which is aligned with their political views.
The engineers at Google, YouTube, get al are no more qualified to gatekeep COVID information than any other layman. People are only rooting for this censorship because at the moment it agrees with their politics. Case…
Here is the first study[0] which correctly looked at the combination of HCQ with zinc sulfate ionophore, as per the original theory, which originated from a Dutch researcher who predicted the mechanism by which HCQ was…

This is a fantastic resource. I've long lamented the difficulty of finding textbooks. Since colleges buy them back every semester to control demand, it's actually hard to find something that should be cheap and common.…

How anyone can continue to place so much faith into dogmatic science, after the global and nearly universal failure of these same institutions to properly prepare for and handle covid, is beyond me. This post is pure…

What special knowledge do you think you need to interpret 5 months of COVID studies? That's almost two semesters of grad school. You don't need a PhD to gain enough knowledge of covid from literature to speculate…
I absolutely agree with this sentiment. It's why I had difficulty reading "how to win friends and influence people" despite how frequently and casually lauded it is. It's literally an instruction manual for using…
