arxiv.org is a thing

While you do have a fair point, I was referring to the case where one is basically implementing a map operation as a for loop.

Technically this is also possible with for loops, like with OpenMP

Compiler optimizations like function inlining are your friend.

Especially in functional languages, there are a lot of tricks a compiler can use to output more efficient code due to not needing to worry about possible side effects.

Also, in a lot of cases the performance difference does not matter.

We had one who pulled up the pdf of the textbook to read it word by word

Also surely a lot of people would know tar -Create Ze Vucking File and/or tar -Xtract Ze Vucking File

  1. The skerton was (is?) A good entry level grinder that will give you very decent results especially for immersion-type brews. It's what I started on and what I still use for on the go use cases. I haven't looked at entry level hand grinders in a while so I guess some developments have happened since I got mine. (Based on a comparison video from james hoffman at the time)

  2. God yes, I tried a friend's 1zpresso and the difference in both grind speed and effort is noticable.

Funny story actually. After year 1 I was in peak condition, year 2 was normal, year 3 I gained weight. Year 1 I worked slowest and year 3 fastest. I just became way more efficient :p

I was garbage collector for 3 years as student job.

Not a single person in the company has done such a thing. We did dumb shit all the time but that wasn't even close. I feel sorry that you decided that 1 person represents a whole industry

As long as you use proper lifting form it's not that hard on your back. Without it you won't last long though.

Also here in belgium all garbage collectors I know earn more than the teachers I know.

You get most of the day off after having worked a full day + still need a full and thorough shower + have low energy because it's a physically demanding job

Running is not as extreme as you think, a lot of it is just carrying on the momentum of the truck after you jump off, other tham that it's mostly just brisk walking.

The heavy stuff depends, regulations typically impose a limit on weight but a lot of people don't follow it. You learn to use proper lifting form quite quickly though or you'll get a hernia
