@sol_hsa But does a scraped copy of the Internet that is itself on the Internet contain itself? 🤔

@blinry There is also $x which takes an XPath selector as its argument

@sol_hsa This looks like the cubic root with the origin shifted to (0.5; 0.5) and scaled by 0.5

@sol_hsa @nothings @Doomed_Daniel @dotstdy @slembcke @floooh But isn’t Ryan’s whole approach not to switch after each work unit but have them all in the same array, and then each thread processes its own 1/n portion of it in one for-loop? This way you’d have about one barrier sync per thread for the whole job. So unless your use case is not a “parallel for”, then your benchmark might not be measuring the right thing

@sol_hsa I don’t have any personal experience parallel programming, but Ryan Fleury recently blogged about his approach, and it seems like a really elegant solution to me: https://www.rfleury.com/p/multi-core-by-default
Multi-Core By Default

On multi-core programming, not as a special-case technique, but as a new dimension in all code.

I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service.

If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them.

If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever.

This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.
