> the branch may or may not be optimized out

That's true, and while I agree that it is a concern, is there ever a way to gain both ergonomics and optimization? In other words, aren't we always leaving it up to the compiler one way or another? You mention C++'s specialization, and I suppose that is a solution, but then you are (potentially, I can't say for certain) sacrificing compile times. Although I will admit that this is probably a fair trade for certainty of optimization, and it would be nice if Rust at least offered some amount of specializing.

> you really do have to babysit Rust to get efficient codegen. https://rust.godbolt.org/z/PjW5vo

Oh wow, that is interesting. Yeah, that probably speaks to Rust still being a relatively new language, although I would have expected LLVM to do something about that... In any case, that's certainly no zero-cost abstraction.

Thanks for the neat info!

Hmmm more like: "I actually have a JS framework website, which would use AJAX to load parts of the page to update pages and not reload the whole page, _however_, if you have JS deactivated or blocked, I will automatically work using normal links, which then work as if someone had taken the effort of writing all the code for making the dynamic portion of the page work by just using links and full page reloads." -- So kinda like magic.

I posted this elsewhere but for the uninformed, I found Temple Grandin's article on Kosher/Halal slaughtering really eye-opening.

https://www.grandin.com/ritual/kosher.meat.uruguay.html
That is simply inaccurate and Kosher killing has always had humanity in animal killing front and centre, even far before the concept of treating animals humanely became widespread in human societies. The notion that an animal should be electrically shocked so that it is “stunned” before being killed is a matter for debate and is not definitely more or less humane.

There is often room for improvements, including reducing pre-slaughter stress, but when done right kosher slaughter is among the most humane forms of killing an animal. For example, with a skilled _shochet_ a cow can collapse within 10 seconds and not react at all to the cut itself. The requirements for even the sharpness of the knife are paramount, such that the animal feel no/a minimum of pain. Contrast this with the overwhelming majority of slaughterhouses, both today and over human history, and I hope you’ll see that kosher animal killing is far different from what you described above.

Should have event in the title

Event is November 18th according to the embedded tweet

Content reads like an advertisement
C# has the using-statement + IDisposable which is similar context managers in python (except no __enter__).

C#8 then allowed using-statements that do not require blocks, which then are disposed when leaving the current block.

Pre C#8, you had to have a block, similar to how with-statement requires a block aka indentation

using (var res = OpenSomeResource()) {
res.doSomething();
// res.Dispose() implicitly called
}

Now you can have this (which is a bit like a go-style Defer but for blocks)

using var res = OpenSomeResource();
res.doSomething();
// res.Dispose() implicitly called at end of current block

Of course, you have to take the potentially longer lifetime into account. This way looks a lot like C++s RAII with constructors and destructors (except the destructor here is the IDisposible.Dispose implementation).

It seems probably maybe you would actually agree with the OP. They would say, "given no interference from politicians the US Military would win" and you might say "yes but politicians always interfere, there's no such thing as 'no interference'"

Any of the situations you highlighted all have restrictions set by politicians, not military. For example full military might hasn't been released in Afghanistan. The politicians restrict what the military is allowed to do there. I'm not saying that's good or bad. In my un-informed opinion we shouldn't be there. But you can't claim it's the military losing there when the military is not allowed to actually use all its power and resources.
Probably because not many consider the end result as a success.

Putting US obesity calamity aside, a large fraction of Macdonalds' beef sold worldwide is produced in Brazil. Therefore not incentivizing water intensive, methane producing products, AND as a bonus further limiting the destruction of Amazonian ecosystems sounds like a great way to attack it to me?

I remember a great story from a Macdonalds executive in a reddit AMA, who mentioned they had a pilot for a burger recipe which included grilled aubergine. The pilot was really successful and they had great feedback in tasting sessions but then they ran the numbers and quickly realize there wasn't enough world production of aubergine to role out the new burgers in their target markets. That story although funny really gives an insight into the scale and volume of Macdonalds as a business and their non-negligible impact on the world food market.

For me most of Macdonalds taste is in the seasoning/sauces, if they can make a passable smokey flavoured bean/soya patty and suddenly have a ground breaking ecologic impact without even hitting their bottom line, I say more power to them.

This is a nice write-up, it's beeb some time since I've written Scala and Scala 3 looks promising.

Though, I am curious if there is anyone else who shares my mindset on Scala.

In a corporate environment, I found it to be an extremely expressive and powerful language but that power comes at a grave price, which I'll try to summarize:

- it's difficult to understand other people's code compared to other languages (e.g. Go)
- it's so very implicit that you end up having to hold a lot of state in your head to understand what's going on.
- the language is basically impossible to read effectively without IDE features.

I usually enjoy reading most code bases, but Scala is downright painful to read in plaintext. You end up having to be a compiler.
Agree. In the UK most salaries are stated upfront, especially contract work.

Personally I do not even bother looking at a job unless there is a salary/day rate stated.

Knights and aristocracy held their power through force, so there is no question that knights could overwhelmingly defeat peasants.

However, what is often missed in the depictions of peasants is that they were much stronger than modern folk, they did kill animals quite often, they did fight other peasants quite often.

Free peasants were a different story from bound peasants, mountain peasants a different story from low lands.

I know because my grandparents were peasants from a mountainous region, you did not want to mess with those peasants.

I could go all they about the acts of aggression, strength and bravery I've witnessed (same on the contrary).

Such a peasant would not fight in pitch battle, but would simply burn their crops, take their cattle and sheep up the mountain and return in autumn when armies would go back home.
They would setup ambushes, mostly targeting guides, but they were quite opportunistic.

It was remarkable reading Xenophon's account of fighting mountain people in ancient times -- while I did feel his disgust for them, the sense was that they could be quite dangerous when fighting on their home turf.

I just got a PinePhone and I wasn't expecting a daily driver device ... but ... oh boy, it's really, really bad. Definitely the slowest, kernel-panicky, least functional device I've ever bought. It is worse than the worst android device ever made (I've played with $10 android devices from 2013, this is slower and less functional.) It is shockingly bad. While the software is frightening, the hardware is also not good. The USB C port is totally finicky.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this device now... hopefully I can find some fun from it.

The thesis also completely ignores the logistics involved in it and the previous attempts.

I’m not sure about Kosher, but for meat to be considered Halal - it has to be treated well and not suffer. If the animal suffers it is rendered non-halal. Halal meat is more humane than widely used slaughter methods.

There is misconception among non-Muslims that halal doesn’t support modern slaughter methods, but it actually adapts to work with it. ~60% of all halal meat in the UK is stunned, whilst 0% of kosher meat is. Please do not conflate the two to push an agenda. The only source used throughout this thread is Grandin and not actually looking at the industry itself.

Islam also favors vegetarianism due to the sunnah of the prophet eating only what is required and not have elaborate meals of extravagance and food wastage but we aren’t ready for that conversation in a capitalist society (Less consumption = lower profits)

> it's difficult to understand other people's code compared to other languages

I think it depends a lot on the code. Scala 2 gives you a lot of guns to shoot yourself in the foot (see: implicit, as discussed here) - but you can also use it in its mostly-functional form, with immutable values, and then it can become very readable. Granted - I've always been using IntelliJ but I could read the scala code on Github too, just fine.
The title and conclusions of the article are entirely unsubstantiated:

"The spirit and grassroots tactics of the Great Kosher Meat Strike of 1902 would be applied successfully in the early decades of the century in rent strikes, community protests, labor actions, and suffrage demonstrations. "

In fact, as the Wikipedia 'boycott' entry shows, while boycotts have been used since ancient times (notably, the American boycott of English goods at the time of the American revolution) the term "Boycott" was born in Ireland in the 1880s and quickly spread around the world; there is no indication in the article itself that this particular instance was either the first or remarkable or that it left any lasting legacy.

I'm certain there were some great fighters amongst the Vikings; after all, they have an entire age named after them and their raids. Viking was an activity, not a people though, and the Vikings were mostly Norse peasants trained to fight with shields and basic weapons like spears and axes. There was an elite class and a small class of professional warriors too, but they weren't really a majority.

Apples and oranges and all that.

Doing the same problem again and again does not do much to learn math. Doing various problems again and again is necessary, but that is not memorization. Because you are not actually remembering things.

Also, it was not that unusual for exercised based university math tests to allow references. Precisely because it does not matter all that much for difficult exercises, remembering everything is not the point.

No, it's not enough [1]. Long story short: to provide the needed amount vitamins and minerals you'd have to eat lot more calories than your body needs. So to achieve correct balance between calories and vitamins and minerals, you need to enrich food with supplements.

We use rr extensively for Julia development [1] (for a sense of scale, I probably look at hundreds of rr traces a month). There's two big challenges for us there
1) Many cloud environments are broken in various ways for rr recording - I spend way too much time guiding our users to the few that do work
2) The GDB frontend really isn't the best way to view all the underlying information

Pernosco is well on its way to address the second part of this. Its replayer is quite a bit nicer than the open source rr one and I have high hopes for the platform in general.

For the first one, all I can do is plead with the cloud vendors not to mess up the environment. Since this is HN, if you're working for a cloud provider, please ask your engineering team not to break rr. Otherwise I'll have to spend time migrating our users off your platform, which will be fun for neither of us.

Anyway, congrats to Robert and Kyle on the launch. Wish you all the best.

That's the point! You don't knock a star off a product because they didn't ship the product in time. You knock stars off the SELLER. There's literally a whole system in place to review the seller.

And if the seller is Amazon, it's even worse. Why would I care about whether or not Amazon was able to ship your product in time 3 months ago?
>but poorer nations may hold out for future vaccines that remain stable at higher temperatures and only require a single dose.

Valid point, but I feel there's never been a better time for massively pushing this vaccine (after proper testing and regulatory approval, of course) to medium/low income countries.

Winter should make it much easier in managing the temperature range stability required for storing/shipping the vaccine, especially in countries around the equatorial region.

Doing it in late spring/summer will not be a good idea (assuming a better vaccine doesn't come out by then).
