    As a non native English speaker, it’s very helpful to use a LLM to validate if a sentence I wrote is clear, correct, and if there is a more idiomatic way to express the same thing …

    Paradoxically, lowering your weight artificially may be causing more damage than good because of the muscle loss. Being fit is not just about low fat. It requires a similar discipl…

    Because what getpid returns can change during the lifetime of a process, if it moves to a different PID namespace. I guess updating the vdso every time that happens is not worth th…

    Copying the how is ok, but copying the why it’s not. The problem here is not how companies react to a downturn, but why they think there’s one. And they are copying the whys too.
