In TUI, you almost always open a new process when your start a new instance.

Pretty much all GUI frameworks I have worked with behave the same, and you have to actively create singleton behavior.

Then you have Mac OS which makes it hard two create multiple processes of a GUI app. Other OSs don't necessarily behave the same.

Funnily, 1.5 decades after Golang popularized formatters, in 2024 it is the only language that I work in that requires me to think about formatting. Mostly line length, but super annoying.

They have tons of commuters and business travelers. Didn't look into the methodology, but my first guess would be that those are included in the numerator, but not in the denominator.

That's what options are for. But I find it more cost effective to just diversify my investments.

Not familiar with the details, but page fault != segfault.

Do it. I recently built a beefy machine, the first time in years that I have something I can play on, it's Linux only and it's great. Deepening on the games you play, check protondb first.

I agree with that, but null safety would be a big deal for correctness.
