Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything that is remotely controversial or recent(as in last 20 years), as there always people who have agenda to 'correct the record' on something.

Well, the little tigers can be dangerous and hold pathogenic bacteria in their little claws. You'd be nervous too if that thing could claw at your eye at any moment. Plus they could carry toxoplasmosis and tons of infections picked up

I'd play it safe and eat only natural sweeteners like inulin/stevia/xylitol. Gut microbes haven't evolved to expirience the whole array of artificial sweeteners.

So does this mean chlorella can be mass-produced cheaper than crops? This would be a second "Green Revolution" if this scales up, it will free up lots of land.

I prefer the flexibility of computed gotos a GCC extension that is likely the fastest dispatch method outside of compile-time. With computed gotos, you can have arbitrary dispatch complexity and structure, interleave code(e.g./code1&

zig comptime is the same as constexpr/consteval in C++ which operate on variables and valid code blocks. C macros operate on arbitrary tokens, which get converted to code or constants. For example variadic functions can be impleme

Lack of macros in recent systems languages like Zig/Hare/etc seems to be a design flaw, a handicap marketed as safety feature or bargain for clarity. If a language can't replace C macros, it cannot replace C.
