@vi@downbad.fr I just meant that the polish and comfort of a bus for three hours isn't as nice as car. It will get you there but there are pros and cons to both. Largely depends where you're at.. my point was that all mass transit could be drastically better..

it sure could be wayyyy better, especially for its price, but its all i got for now

@vi@downbad.fr I know.. I wish it was a better transit system for you though. We don't have a license. But we sometimes drive. It not our car though. I sympathize with you about tourettes. I worry about sneezing when driving.. so I understand I guess a little..

@kirakira Well, uh... do you actually prefer it pronounced "kee-ra" or "kye-ra"?
(I was assuming the former, admittedly.)

Spelling with y* would be a pretty solid way to get most people to assume the latter, spelling with i will make most Americans default to the latter and rest of the world vary.

(Also, there's at least one other person with a sizeable following who has chosen Kyra spelled with an y for their new name a few years ago...)

@pierogiburo@tech.lgbt

@vi the <type_traits> header itself is actually pretty light all things considered

<chrono>, <filesystem>, <memory>, anything to do with streams, anything to do with multithreading are pretty heavy on the other hand

for this project i tried writing a custom vector, hashmap and unique_ptr implementations (vector because i wanted to have an optional small buffer optimization, hashmap because unordered_map is way too slow by default)

this is probably overkill though, but if you avoid transitively including <iterator> you can save 50-100 ms

instead of iostreams consider using fmtlib, it's great vitaut.net/posts/2024/faster-c
