There is pros/cons to both approaches. The Pipe operator in F# works in conjunction with the HM type inference in the language and static functions often assisting the type checker. i.e. features that work together in a language vs tacked on. F# idiomatic code avoids a lot of virtual dispatch seen in Java/C#, etc as compile time polymorphism is typically how re-use occurs vs objects. I find F# favors compile time abstractions a little more than Scala historically although I note that could be changing.

For most of these proposals it is just syntactic sugar around invoking the function with a placeholder. The pipe in F# is slightly different in that most of the time it has no intermediate lambdas and is compiled in a more performant form. The downside is that unless you allocate that lambda yourself it has to be the last arg. On the plus side like most things in F# it is concise but shows all behavior explicitly - its usually a warning sign if you have to do that and helps reason about performance. Sometimes its a sign that the original function isn't written right or some other inline wrapper could be used for other usages of the function. You can inline a template to rearrange the arg's (inline) to avoid the lambda allocation as well.

This allows some level of re-use and performance benefits avoiding virtual table dispatch and a lambda allocation for many common methods (e.g. map, fold, iter, etc)

Starvation mode is only an issue when you're actually starving, like seriously undernourished for weeks. It's not a real thing for dieters who cut down by a few hundred calories per day.
Not to scare this mostly young group of people, but one thing you’ll find is that as you get older, there is no beating these co-morbidities over the long haul. You list them because you figure if people just took care of themselves it would all work out. That’s not how old age works except for a very limited, lucky bunch. The rest of us should think of life more like a game of Dungeons and Dragons: you start with a base set of stats that help you make saving throws against disease and such. Every year, your stats get worse, and they take away your advantage. No matter how much exercise you do, or how well you are off, you will lose on those dice. More importantly, you will lose a lot. The first couple times won’t kill you. But eventually, it catches up with you, and that’s that. Covid is a difficult saving throw without assistance from medicine.

I picked up 2k18 a while back. I'm not really a sports fan, but I do remember sports games being pretty fun when I was younger.

Holy hell, I'm not even sure I'd call that a game. I swear it took 20 minutes to actually start a match because of all the explicit ads, then ads disguised as ceremony. And 30 seconds into play, it crashes.

I can't imagine why people actually pay for these games year after year.
>>Do union representatives get murdered?

Do strikebreakers get murdered in your country? Because they did, regularly, in the West, and the rhetorical victory of the mafia/socialist-infused labor union movement was so complete, that the murdered were dehumanized as "scabs", and those who protected them, villainized as "union busters".

In the US, you cannot be anti-union and not be under threat of violence, whether it's Larry Elder's staff being assaulted (with hardly any media outcry):

Google Domains incorrectly banned me. I filed an appeal showing how I was indeed authorized to perform the actions I had performed, that I was not in violation of their Terms of Use, and included the contact information of the various parties that Google could contact in order to confirm my claims. None of these individuals were contacted and my appeal was rejected with their standard "unfortunately kindly go fuck yourself" message.

When they banned me, I simply lost access to the entire domains.google.com page. As such, I was unable to transfer any of my domains out. The only thing I could do was let them lapse, wait for them to become available to the general public again, and re-buy them on a different registrar.

Their UI works great, most of the time, but I would not recommend Google Domains to anybody, ever, under any circumstances.

That Upton Sinclair quote "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it". Except here we're talking about upbringings, lifestyles, social position, and career all in one caboodle. So if we buy into that quote, this is an even wider example that perhaps has just as strong if not stronger potential for resistance to change.

Also, there's a layered stack of argument underneath outright denial to overcome - Even if climate change is real the climate has changed before, and I can't do anything about it, and <easily adoptable green tech> isn't perfect so why bother, and even if it is real it's not going to happen in my lifetime, and remember <all those predictions that have been wrong>, and so on and so on.

What do you think is the long term plan of "flu-obsessed" people, a.k.a. doctors, when they recommend getting the yearly flu vaccine?
You're reading the reporting wrong.

It is meant as:
afraid and/or sad and/or anxious and/or angry and/or powerless and/or helpless and/or guilty

ie the last "and/or" is defining what the commas mean. Just like "a, b, c, and d" or "a, b, c, or d" don't mean "a, b, (c and d)" or "a, b, (c or d)"

And that was also a smaller summary list of options than the actual study had.

There's not really any way around legislating or directly subsidising alternatives if its going to make a difference.

Many people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 will probably make antibodies against the virus for most of their lives. So suggest researchers who have identified long-lived antibody-producing cells in the bone marrow of people who have recovered from COVID-191.

The study provides evidence that immunity triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection will be extraordinarily long-lasting. Adding to the good news, “the implications are that vaccines will have the same durable effect”, says Menno van Zelm, an immunologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

Previous Covid Prevents Delta Infection Better Than Pfizer Shot

https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...

The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a “Don’t try this at home” label.

Obesity tends to kill people before they get old enough to incur real costs in medical care. It's like cigarette smoking, it actually saves the healthcare system money and resources because smoking tends to kill people before they get very old.

Also, I can't catch obesity by simply sharing the same room with someone who is obese like I can with COVID.
I would not be surprised if there _was_ a heck of a big effect -- something along the lines of "how bad the vaccine side effects hit you is strongly correlated with general health such that people who are less healthy tend to have worse side effects, and people who have particularly bad side effects from their first dose are less likely to get a second dose".

I don't have time to look into it right now, but if that were the case we should expect the mortality rate for single-dosers to go up two weeks after their first dose in countries with a two week gap between doses and twelve weeks after their first dose in countries with a twelve week gap (i.e. people in the 12 week gap countries who are 6 weeks after dose 1 should have much lower mortality than people in the 2 week gap countries who are 6 weeks after dose 1 and have not gotten a dose 2, even after controlling for age and comorbidities).

Signing in this context would be debatable, in that it may call into question of how much one would (personally) be willing to risk ownership claims of a crypto asset or content.

> Could people just use oxygen at home?

At that point, you need constant supervision and monitoring from the critical care team. You may be on other forms of life support (IV medications for blood pressure, etc). Your condition could rapidly deteriorate to the point where intubation is called for. It’s not like having a chronic illness where the patient has a home oxygen concentrator.
I don't think it would be a huge challenge for the British to drink less tea, the Japanese to eat less rice and Indians to use less cumin if continuing to eat, drink and use them would pose a huge risk for the future of all humanity. All of that (and also eating less meat) can be done without damaging the culture around it.

What's much more challenging is to make people care about danger enough to be willing to change their personal behavior even in slightest ways.

> Do you think the above are equivalent to what you're asking regarding meat? Why or why not?

Of course it's not equivalent, because this thread is explicitly not about giving up meat consumption.
> Requiring vaccination to prevent the spread of infectious disease is analogous.

No, it isn't. Requiring someone to submit to a medical procedure that injects something into their body is very different from restricting the circumstances in which they can do things like smoke or drink.

Also, past vaccination campaigns (such as smallpox, polio, measles) have all been based on the expectation that mass vaccination would eradicate the disease (and that expectation has been realized with several of those diseases). There is no such expectation with the COVID vaccines we currently have; they are not going to eradicate COVID.
Such as? It would also be interesting to explore how many dead ends we wouldn't have wasted time on, and so what other things might have been discovered sooner.

This is the part that gets missed when people talk about "dependency inflation" re: Rust. Absolutely, it is a problem, but most C codebases of a sufficient size and vintage are vendoring some absolutely insane hidden "dependencies" that, on average, probably get a lot less testing and attention than the average package on crates.io.

There are definitely risks with both approaches.

I agree that Twitter is not something generally trustworthy, but that ignores Twitter's role in breaking news. The many places that generally are called "media outlets" that have reported news with tweets as their primary sources to the point where I think you would have trouble finding a media outlet that is an exception.
I would be very skeptical and wonder what the downside is

I would too, but this is the same thing that anti-vaxxers are saying about the COVID vaccine
1. We're not done making COVID-19 vaccines. For you to declare defeat so early is purely anti-vaxx bias.

2. The measles is way more contagious. It's dreadful for you to simply ignore that when it matters so much to the calculations.
You cannot trust google for anything like domains you rely on, unless you have a contact there to talk to a human.
While this is mostly true…there are other factors at play that can make this deficit difficult. I went for 2 months without losing a pound despite a net -1000kcal between diet, exercise, and my “probable” BMR. My suspicion is that my BMR dropped when my body realized it was basically in a famine state and decided to conserve every calorie it could any way it could.

Should we tell people to get their BMI under 25 too? Overweight and obesity are going to cost much more in increased healthcare costs than COVID will in the coming decades (pls prove me wrong..).

No matter how obese someone is, I'm not going to catch their obesity by breathing the same air as them.

From the tech crunch link:

> She noted that Silicon Valley had an amazing dynamism about it. There were extensive professional networks, job hopping was the norm, information was exchanged openly, and the culture encouraged risk taking. The Silicon Valley ecosystem supported entrepreneurial experimentation and collective learning. In other words, Silicon Valley was a very open network—a giant social networking site working in analog before the concept of such a thing even existed.

>This organizational mechanism was in sharp contrast to that of Route 128. Dominated by large, vertically integrated, and secretive minicomputer producers such as DEC, Wang, Prime, and Data General. Technology, skill, and know-how were trapped within the boundaries of the large corporations.

That was from the book Regional Advantage: Culture and Competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128 in 1994. Wonder what the author would say about SV now.

Cars are waaaaaaay fucking better than they were in the past. My dad had a Mustang in the mid 90s, paid about $20k for it, it had 225hp, cloth seats, crappy stereo, got like 16mpg, handled like crap with skinny 16" tires, and was a completely unsafe tin can of a car.

I have a newer one that I paid $35k for, it has 460hp, leather interior, a banging sound system, dozens of airbags, computer-controlled wizbangery that makes the car a breeze to drive, massive tires, and somehow gets 20mpg.

Adjusted for inflation, these cars cost the same, but the newer one is such an incredibly massive improvement in every aspect.

Nice article Paul. It is motivating me to take another look at Ardour. I have also worked on some very large audio/video authoring tools. When we made the new lighting tools at Dreamworks, you could only create the UI using the scripting system. I am not sure if that discipline is still observed, but it was a good way to make sure that there wasn't a 2nd class citizen status given to extending the UI.
If the oems get fragmented enough then it might open up more space for a smaller competitor (ie an open source project) to come fill the gaps, and I certainly wouldn't mind that. Of course it's not a guarantee but I could see it happening - the more dissatisfied the lazy tech nerd segment gets the more we would all band together and try and make the situation better, and also by the competitors becoming more fragmented it might open others up to possibilities they didn't consider previously. (And yes I am putting myself in lazy tech nerd segment at least as far as my phone goes, I've always run cyanogenmod in the past but the last phone I bought I spent a weekend trying to flash lineage and it was annoying enough of a process I ended up back on stock ROM....but I'd certainly be down to try again given the right circumstances.)
