It depends on your volume and target price.

Are you trying to put a microcontroller, a battery, a couple switches, and some LEDs/speakers in an injection-molded, basically disposable, consumer good to sell through McDonalds Happy Meals, Walmart, or AliExpress, and you plan to build hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of units? Do you expect to program in assembly, or a custom subset of something C-like that obviously won't include the standard library but might not even include something as fundamental as any values on the call stack for arguments or returns, happily trading a couple weeks of developer frustration if it saves $0.01 per part? No, the ATTiny doesn't really make sense for you....find a Chinese 8051 or Paduk core you can epoxy down chip-on-board style, aiming for the absolute bare minimum of peripherals and costs.

Are you producing some high-value commercial good in small quantities? Do you place a high value on developer productivity, want a generous assortment of peripherals and interrupts including communication and reasonably performant DAC and ADC onboard, a comfortable C library, a UPDI online debug interface, vendor support and thorough documentation in English? The ATTiny may be for you, or maybe you want an MSP430 or Cortex-M0, or maybe you want to spend $1 more per unit (worth 200 man-weeks of developer frustration in the paragraph above!) and get something with 10x the Flash and pin count.

A good comparison of some similar microcontrollers (including the ATtiny 1-series) written in 2017 is here:

Thanks! Doctors aren't always clear on the difference between treatment of symptoms and addressing the cause.
Can't we solve this at least temporarily with a sodium rich environment? It seems to be effective for safe fermentation. I have no idea whether the biochemical reactions necessary to produce the meat though would be inhibited if we did this.
There can be advantages to undertaking a complete library rewrite[1]:

- If you've worked with the library (as a maintainer/developer, not as a user) for a long time you know where the fundamental pain points are and, after a while, the desire to get rid of those pain points can become overwhelming.

- Languages evolve; what might have seemed like a good architectural decision 3 or 4 years ago may well have turned out to be a quagmire of confusion now, which new features in the language (JS examples: promises; fetch; various Array functions) can help simplify.

- Rewriting from scratch can also encourage a better, more maintainable approach to code documentation (and generating online documentation from it).

- Being able to dump outdated/questionable tests in favour of modern testing best practice is always welcome.

- A rewrite from scratch can offer a chance to reconsider the developer experience for people who consume the library in their projects/products - though there's a danger that moving too far away from existing practices can damage trust in the library.

... Of course, rewriting from scratch is always a lot easier if your library is (relatively) obscure. I imagine the ESLint rewrite is going to be performed in the full glare of the spotlight - see already the lively conversations around the decision to not rewrite in TypeScript!

> Error handling based on comparing strings, to find out the real cause.

I'm not a fan of Go, at all, but credit where due: they did make this slightly better with error wrapping (https://pkg.go.dev/errors#Is). Of course, this doesn't work unless errors are wrapped, instead of blindly concatenated, forcing you to do string matching more often than not. :)

We're quibbling over terminology. To me, a "good friend" is a relationship that lasts for a long time, maybe a lifetime, and survives significant challenges. It doesn't have to be a kidney, but I think a friendship should survive, for example, a relocation. Otherwise I would call it an acquaintance, not a friend.

Acquaintances are indeed easy to make. The problem is, that kind of relationship is fragile and transient and superficial. I think most people want more. I know I do.
that sounds reasonable, thank you
I wanted the highest plan (Business $96pm) to be less than $100, and wanted to offer 5 sites on the middle (Pro) plan.

Then calculated the cost per site and offered the max I could within those boundaries.

Not that scientific, but max value to price.
I'm not sure I buy your argument. For example, pigs have an average lifespan of 15-20 years but in a farm setting are slaughtered at 6 months old. Also I suspect a pig is more adapted to its natural environment than living in a confined shelter (often less than a square metre). In fact, in the UK, less than 1 in 20 pigs are allowed to go outside - hardly a good life! This is just pigs.
Funny, I largely agree with you, on the other hand, if I had to choose between being "free range" or factory fed, I'd still rather take the free range option. Or as one of the other commenters put it, I'd rather be homeless and all that entails than live as somebody's slave and get food and a bed.

Animals aren't people though. I think it's important to avoid unnecessary suffering or cruelty, but it's also important to be able to eat them.
Thanks, I see there's talking about the frames problem, but not sure if it's just solved in a new version or I should change some parameters, I'll give it a try next time I need to use the program.
The standard does permit time-travel, however. As unlikely as it might seem, I could imagine some rare scenarios in which something seemingly similar happens -- let's say the optimiser reaching into gets() and crashing the program prior to the gets() call that overflows the stack.
Same here. I keep eyeing Ada and waiting for the compiler prices to drop.

Spicy IS the flavor, you're confusing Spicy food with Hot food.
> I disagree on the logic from "ill-formed" to "assume it doesn't happen".

Do you feel like elaborating on your reasoning at all? And if you're going to present an argument, it'd be good if you stuck to the spec's definitions of things here. It'll be a lot easier to have a discussion when we're on the same terminology page here (which is why specs exist with definitions!)

> I admit I don't differentiate those two words. I think they are just word-play.

Unfortunately for you, the spec says otherwise. There's a reason there's 2 different phrases here, and both are clearly defined by the spec.
I eat meat, but I think it's fair to say bringing living/feeling/thinking things into existence for the express purpose of being killed and consumed is grim. This feels particularly true if the circumstances they're raised in are horrific, which seems to be pretty common in factory farms.

In any case, nature might be crueler to living things than we are, but I still think becoming less cruel is worth the effort.

Then C isn't following this rule - crashing is a pretty major side effect.
Two forms of meat, the worst first:

(1) Industrial factory farmed meat, fed with crops like alfalfa/soy/corn, where the animals are injected with prophylactic antibiotics (because cramped conditions cause disease outbreaks, also a growth enhancer) and growth hormones, and/or genetically modified to promote gigantism (both applications tending to increase disease susceptibility, so more antibiotics). The meat is then processed in meatpacking production lines (highly susceptible to cross contamination, with a consumer portion of ground meat containing parts from hundreds of animals) - hey, why not gamma-irradiate it to kill off bacteria and viruses? Lots of animal torture and needless suffering to top it all off. Fairly cheap end product, however. Note this production system is not a strictly American phenomenon - Mexico's pork-export factories are the same, and there's China's 'Pig Skyscraper'

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/25/chinas-2...

(2) Essentially nomadic-style animal herding on grassland. This is the traditional method of raising animals - they mostly eat grass, or other kinds of forage, although growing crops for fodder (without use of modern pesticides and herbicides) is often part of the picture. Typical species are cows, sheep and goats. Historically, pigs were raised this way as well (more like wild boars). Chickens can be raised this way, as well. See also kobe beef cattle in Japan. The main issue is this method is low yield and high cost, i.e. the meat is expensive (but healthy, and animal suffering is very minimal, i.e. they lead decent lives up to the point of a quick slaughter). For example:

https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2021/10/5ca39ec007e4-feat...

I have little patience with vegans who refuse to differentiate between these two types of meat production on ethical grounds. However if everything moves to the latter ethical and healthy production system, meat will be more expensive and less of a 'daily staple' - and there's nothing wrong with that dietary switch, it's better for everyone.

As far as lab-grown meat, that'll probably be even more expensive than ethically-farmed meat, and likely use even more resources (electricity for maintaining the vats at precise temperatures, specialized nutrient feedstocks, etc.), so I'm not sure what the point is.

Those things were amazing value. A couple dollars per game even if you value the hardware at $0, better UI than any TV-attached DIY emulator system I've seen, and controllers so good that it's hard to tell the difference between them and the originals without checking the cord or the molded label on the bottom. Plus a game selection that was, if not ideal, pretty decent, and large enough that anyone into games could find something to play.
> The cost of lab-grown meat will likely be several times that of regular meat, according to Wired. Producing meat in the lab “will never be done with anything remotely like the economics you need for food,” Pat Brown, founder of the plant-based meat company Impossible Foods, told the Post last year.

Obviously he isn't an objective observer but I wonder what the argument is to back up the claim that it "will never be done with anything remotely like the economics you need for food".
Huge portions of the midwest are used nigh exclusively for cattle grazing. Yes they spend the end of their lives in close quarters eating a lot, but they're not generally being birthed in those environments.
Every new program is a “rewrite” if you look back far enough. In that case they had funding to start a new company and the problem space was an order of magnitude smaller.

> It's meat. It's just without the animal suffering

Are you sure about the no suffering part. Currently this meat is grown using a growth medium most often extracted from a pregnant mare using a technique called bloodletting which is often extremely painful for the animal.

EDIT: I think I’m actually wrong about the pregnant mare. Animal suffering through bloodletting from pregnant mares was a recent scandal where I’m from and I must have conflated it in my mind. I was actually thinking about FBS which is extracted from a slaughtered pregnant cow. So my point still stands.
I think the focus should be on how to improve animal lives as much as possible, exposing bad players in the industry, and reducing carbon emissions from animal husbandry. That's the practical solution now which would have the largest effect. If lab grown meat becomes viable in 10 years that is fantastic, but we need to focus on more realistic action now.
Simple Seasonal Naive: faster and more accurate than Prophet and NeuralProphet

Results:
SeasonalNaive is 20% more accurate than NeuralProphet and 366 times faster. StatsForecast's MSTL is 24% more accurate than NeuralProphet and 11 times faster.

SeasonalNaive is 23% more accurate than Prophet and 75 times faster. StatsForecast's MSTL is 26% more accurate than Prophet and 2 times faster.
Also the life of an average human is pretty depressing, so it's OK for management in better-off companies to harass employees.
> I understand the whole methane issue but using up non renewable energy sources to make something that could be done with renewable resources seems a little silly unless the plan is to do this with renewables.

The source of power to the lab feels like a separate issue. It would be a very intense stance to take that having your city grid on non-renewable resources means any product made in that city is bad for the environment!

Besides which, beef production uses the same power sources as everywhere else (heat, light, transportation, etc.) so it wouldn't be any different just because they feed the cows plant matter.

Or maybe I've misunderstood?
There's a lot more ebike manufacturers than phone and laptop manufacturers, and some of them might not have the best quality control in light of the heavy competition.
The alternative, natural meat, is even trickier to keep sterile at scale. This is why it is advised to cook meat fully. The presence of bacteria on natural animal meat is common.

People won't run their own mail exchange, because it's too much work and too complicated.

People won't run their own blog, because it's too much work and too complicated.

The downside to doing either of these things poorly is that you can't send email / become a spam email relay / get hacked and lose your blog content.

Now tell those people that they can take on all the downside risk of losing all their money and the only thing they have to do to make sure that doesn't happen is practice perfect operational security, perfect transaction discipline, stay up to date on all known exploits and patches, constantly be on guard for irreversible scams and exploits, and the big benefit is, "you don't have to trust the bank."

Some huge percent of those people are going to look at you like you are crazy. Do all this work, take on this massive risk, and for what, a problem that most people in the western world have never faced. Most people have not faced any issue with transacting with the traditional finance system, definitely not enough to take on all the labor and risk of being their own bank.

If people won't run their own email, they aren't going to run their own financial institution.

I'm not sure that's a productive way to think about UB.

The "weirdness" happens because the compiler is deducing things from false premises. For example,

1. Null pointers must never be dereferenced.

2. This pointer is dereferenced.

3. Therefore, it is not null.

4. If a pointer is provably non-null, the result of `if(p)`
is true.

5. Therefore, the conditional can be removed.

There are definitely situations where many interacting rules and assumptions produce deeply weird, emergent behavior, but deep down, there is some kind of logic to it. It's not as if the compiler writers are doing

if(find_undefined_behv(AST))
emit_nasal_demons()
else
do_what_they_mean(AST)

> Just as simply planting a tree and letting the sun provide the energy for it's growth will always beat those "synthetic trees" people like to hype from time to time, I can expect to never see a synthetic process that is more cost effective to create "meat" than simply letting nature do it's thing.

Evidence? Do you have any background in the field? It's easy as a layperson to imagine that not having to support the life of the entire organism and just growing the meat directly could absolutely be less energy intensive.

The problem is entirely that the vast majority of new car buyers don't want "basic cars."

Even car enthusiasts, who talk endlessly about how simple cars are better, will point out how poor of a deal a new "basic" car is compared to a used luxury car. Jalopnik and the like used to constantly run articles like, "Why buy a new Honda Civic when you can get this 2012 Infiniti G35 for the same price?!!?" Sometimes they were tongue-in-cheek, featuring something like an Maserati, but most of the time, it was genuine advice.

It's totally possible to sell cheap, basic cars in the USA and make a profit, but the key is that those cars need to sell. Companies have tried for years to make the formula work. The Versa, Mirage, Fiesta, and Fit were all basic, no frills transportation, but the only one left is the Versa.

I think it's hypocritical of people who don't own one of those (preferably that they bought new) to complain about lack of basic cars in the USA. If you weren't willing to make the sacrifices necessary to drive a basic car, why should you complain about other people not making the same sacrifice?

> But my slightly-conspiratorial view is also that companies want to engage in a kind of "customer indoctrination",

Or...Vehicles exist at a high enough price point that price/performance is a key driver of value. Spending more on a larger, more capable vehicle makes sense if you plan to use it for the next 15 years. Transaction costs on cars are insane. So if one buy small, then trade up as one needs, then it's going to be much more expensive in the long run than just going big the first time.

Barring pickup trucks, the best selling vehicles in the USA are all pretty much mid-level, family-focused transportation: Rav4, CRV, Rogue, Camry. These are big enough to haul a family, but not loaded to the gills with luxury appointments.

That's antisocial behavior as we've all learned recently. If you don't eat the fake meat, you'll just spread your clear love for animal cruelty to those around you, even if that's just conjecture.

Anyway, snark aside, I'm curious how this goes because while I'm not apologetic for my place on the food chain, carbon emissions from animal farming are problematic and the price that real meat should cost if we raise them humanely is pretty exorbitant. It will be hilarious to see cattle rustling become a capital offense again.
That's misunderstanding brohee's post, which isn't talking about them leaving the pack but about them hunting individually before that time.

Nobody has ever accused C++ of having good defaults. That is also unfortunately one of the hardest things possible to change without language-fragmentating mega breakages (see Python3)
Healthcare is explicitly an area where the government is provably more efficient, and I believe situations like those in the article are caused by the interface between the government and private corporations lacking appropriate oversight, investigatory powers, etc. That is to say, the issue here is not "government waste" but rather the private sector bilking the government, abetted at times by the government itself, of course.

But compare Medicare reimbursement rates and private insurer rates, compare outcomes and satisfaction with care between private insurers and Medicare/Medicaid, even within the US: the government is the clear winner despite spending much less. Once you compare across countries this becomes even more obvious.
>but hardly encompasses more suffering.

I think that's hard to say. But I also think "the alternative" to farmed life is somewhat ignored by vegans/peta activists.

On the one hand, as you say, death is more painful by the claws/teeth of a predator; that is certain. But life itself with little shelter (but usualy some) is the natural state of afairs for most mammals. To say that that is suffering is to say that life itself is suffering, which I think is counterintuitive as suffering is evolutionarily a means of preasuring an animal to escape from the suffering. Not to say that isn't possible. It's hard to say if the natural resiliance (assuming it exists) that mammals have to little shelter and food carries over to say being croweded into small enclosures.

If anyone has any (scientific) articles on this topic I would be interested.
