I had no idea that #gitea went for-profit.

Glad I happened across this:

What I did is a really simple implementation of 100 doors problem from Rosetta Code. I took a Zig implementation from there (I’m not very fluent in Zig myself), altered it to take one argument (number of passes) and rewrote it in Ruby:
......
As you can see, in my case the Zig version was almost 20 times faster. The standard deviation also seems to be much lower, so the execution speed is more predictable. I tried that on a much older machine and then the difference wasn’t as big as this, but also significant (almost 6 times faster). But that’s not all. This code is compiled by Zig in debug mode. What would happen if I compiled it with the fastest possible option (-Drelease-fast)? Let’s take a look:
......
The zig version is almost 300 times faster! Of course, I suspect that, due to the fact that it is basically a simple computation in the loop, compiler did some serious magic on optimizing it and there is no chance on getting this kind of speedup in a real-life situation. But anyway, I plan to dig a little deeper into it, perhaps try it with some more realisting examples and see what I can get.

They assumed you meant owing you was the stupid thing. You'll have to file an exception request form to the IRS along with your past 4 generations of income taxes and a notorized document declaring the surrender of your first born male to armed service.

It's ok, would you like to buy my debt for 10,000 shibe? I'll settle for a verified birdsite account I can flip for more crypto.

@nuni @jeff
I owe you nothin- which is the value of this NFT stamp I have in my wallet- purchased with 100 ElonKoin

Fun fact::

just like real houses, gingerbread houses are easier to tear down than they are to build. They also often require permits just as much before deconstruction.

If you take NFTs seriously, you deserve what's coming.

For those of whom who did make profit off NFTs, consider yourselves lucky.
