You can reject them, but doing so just throws away useful tools without gaining anything in return.

There is a big difference between “infinity doesn’t exist” and “infinity doesn’t exist physically”.

I should also add that the resolution of zeno’s paradox in the form of calculus where and infinite set of steps can occur in a finite time (or infinite set of distance can span a finite total distance) is conceptually very simple and useful. Rejecting it as unphysical, or saying it must imply time or space come in discrete chunks, is not contributing to an understanding of reality unless the rejection also comes with a set of testable (in principle) predictions.

And in general, why not also reject zero, negative numbers, irrational numbers, complex numbers, uncomputable numbers, etc.?

Seems like an article about quacks that can’t even agree on what the bounds and rules of their quackery are.

That said, Wine+ntsync is still a win, just not a 8x improvement like the Dirt 3 benchmark suggests.

(And it case it's not clear, ntsync is https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/ntsync.html, which is a driver for Linux that offers syncronization primitives (mutex, semaphore, events) that more closely match the semantics of the Windows primitives. It's easier to do a direct implementation in Wine to support code compiled for Windows that expects to be talking to an NT kernel.)

My compliant is only that there should be a dozen more just like them, each competing with each other for the best, most engaging math and science content. This would allow for more a broader audience skillevel to be reached.

As it stands, we’re lucky even to have Quanta and 3b1b.

I think there is hope though, quite a few new-ish creators on YouTube are following in Grant’s footsteps and producing very technically detailed and informative content at similar quality levels.

The nice thing about mimalloc is that there are a ton of configurable knobs available via env vars. I'm able to hand those 16 1 GiB pages to the program at launch via `MIMALLOC_RESERVE_HUGE_OS_PAGES=16`.

EDIT: after re-reading your comment a few times, I apologize if you already knew this (which it sounds like you did).

There needs to be more competition in the malloc space. Between various huge page sizes and transparent huge pages, there are a lot of gains to be had over what you get from a default GNU libc.

Instead, it makes it impossible to pre-select for interesting information. Instead of telling you what something is about, it tells you how you should feel about it. That's not improving accessibility.

* SMS * Apple iMessage * Email * IRC * Facebook Messenger * Telegram * Slack * Webex Teams * Discord * Twitter (DMs) * Signal * Whatsapp * A particular PHPBB web forum

Instead of being on top of all of these, I mostly neglect all of them, and then friends complain that they haven't been able to get a hold of me for 6 months.

XMPP was my own "solution" to this problem, which nobody else used.
