Are there that many people running Windows on ARM machines? I don't think I've ever met someone who was.

Heavy in terms of lines of code, or overhead? Where does that come from? Do you have some numbers?
Tokio is fast, but it's huge! Check the size of any library or binary that includes tokio with even minimal features, let alone their recommended default feature set which comes with a complimentary kitchen sink.

I wish there was more of this in the world. Educational math content is very hard to do well. Great stuff!
It's easy to confuse cynicism for humor.
Look, if you enjoy calculating a table of dozens of resistor value combinations for a feedback network that prefers reels you have on your PnP, you keep knocking yourself out.
If you're using LLMs for a large number of arithmetic calculations, you're exactly the problem GP is talking about.
If you absolutely must use AI get it to generate code that will perform the calculations instead, so that you can actually verify the result.

Guys, please. I am all for FOSS, but such delusions can only be harmful, for they prevent from actually improving stuff.
Did you sir ever use debugger in your life?
What is so superior about Visual Studios debugging experience that you're sure it can't be replicated anywhere else? I've never used it.

Why do I feel most of this is ai created text...whoever is posting will probably adjust their prompt, but who uses '-' mid text?
I find this infuriating. I get absolutely no sense that this is AI, and this bizarre attitude towards em dashes is nonsense. Loads of people use them, especially in less formal writing. Get over it.

That’ll confuse the hiring managers and recruiters.
“Your CV says that you use JavaScript/WebScript. Which one would you say you used most often?”
This is a funny thought, but do you think this would really happen? Surely anyone hiring a programmer would be aware of this.

Not trying to be a jerk, but why is that interesting? Am I missing something more than all odd numbers end in 1, and primes by their nature cannot be even(except 2, as you mentioned).
Just nitpick but all odd numbers end in an odd number, not 1, and all even numbers end in an even number i.e. a multiple of 2.
That's fine. They could very well be using the tool they always used. Support for vi bindings is not the best everywhere, and vim works also through terminal connections, which is great if you need to ssh somewhere to edit a few files.
If you have to work with anything related to TypeScript or even JavaScript, you need to think long and hard to figure out what you're doing if your first option isn't vscode.
