Natural gas heating is very inefficient (e.g. versus electric kettle). There was recent Technology Connections video about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yMMTVVJI4c

Lol, so many questions :). I myself only use linked list when I do not know in advance how many items I will get. Otherwise I do allocate an array.

The problem solved by arena allocators here is to avoid many calls to malloc. System allocator is slow, especially in multithreaded environment. Instead of calling malloc 1000 times to allocate 1000 small pieces (like 16 bytes sized each),

Our arena allocator does not reuse memory for simplicity (it allocates only forward, like a stack). A lot of the libc malloc complexity comes from the need to manage deallocated pieces of memory. Which means that using array over this arena

Apple spends a lot of money at TSMC (about 75% of TSMC 7nm production was for Apple chips in 2018, according to a link below). AMD also makes its chips at TSMC and TSMC fab is a limited resource. Instead of paying AMD to make chips at TSMC,
