<p>Most of musl's performance issues come from their allocator. Using it with a third party high performance allocator allows you to benefit from static linking with very little performance loss.</p>

<p>You could've changed the setting that puts the button back on the lower left corner and saved your relative the trouble.<p>The new default is truly terrible, though, and this was the first setting I had to change when I was forced to use a windows laptop by the company I work in.</p>

<p>Wtf did I just read?<p>The fact you started the text with is true: there aren't vibecoded complex apps, because vibecoding doesn't work.<p>The rest of the text is an incoherent rambling that looks like two people arguing and doesn't make any sense.<p>You should probably stop using gen AI and seek therapy.</p>

<p>The problem with floating point comparison is not that it's nondeterministic, it's that what should be the same number may have different representations, often with different rounding behavior as well, so depending on the exact operations you use to arrive at it, it may not compare as equal, hence the need for the epsilon trick.<p>If all you're comparing is the result from the same operations, you _may_ be fine using equality, but you should really know that you're never getting a number from an uncontrolled source.</p>

<p>Curious on what languages have a hard time saying Libre.<p>Every latin-derived language (which are most of the western languages) can pronounce it naturally, and even English speakers can approximate it well enough to be understood (even though they're incapable of pronouncing the non-retroflex `r`).</p>
