Washing dishes with the machine actually tends to save quite a lot of water, as long as you actually fill the machine.


> as long as you actually fill the machine

That's more or less what I suspected. Though... and I'm not sure if this is an American thing, an international thing, or just a weird quirk of the specific people I know... I know several people who run their machines every day even if they aren't even close to full.


A dishwasher is so much more efficient than handwashing dishes that it's going to save water even without being anywhere close to full.


I'm not a fan of letting dirty dishes sit. Dried on food doesn't come off as easily.

> NaN is unordered: it is not equal to, greater than, or less than anything, including itself. x == x is false if the value of x is NaN [0]

My read of this is that comparisons involving NaN on either side always evaluate to false.

In the first one if X or Y is NaN then you'll get do_something_else, and in the second one you'll get do_something.

As far as why one order would be more optimal than the other, I'm not sure. Maybe something to do with branch prediction?
