dang seems your only parrot argument is "health care!!!"

hmm have you seen stabby maniacs and drug addicts in "healthcare provided countries"?

does having healthcare make those people visit those "providers" and go:

"Hello! I'm a maniac with mental issues/drug problems, and I'm visiting you to be treated! good day!"


what is your proposal exactly?


hmm so.. "I give you every herb bearing seed upon the Earth" is followed by "to eat/stuff into nose"?

with this stupidity, maybe you should try eating list of 20 deadly plants and see how it goes?

"ownership" means "edible/nose-able"... maybe you should try eating your car?


> hmm so.. "I give you every herb bearing seed upon the Earth" is followed by "to eat/stuff into nose"?

It's not always the best use, but that's definitely allowed. It's one of the main uses of herbs.

> with this stupidity, maybe you should try eating list of 20 deadly plants and see how it goes?

If you're eating an amount that doesn't hurt anyone, what's the problem?

And the reason to possibly intervene would be someone stockpiling dangerous amounts. Not for enjoying plants wrong.

> maybe you should try eating your car?

It would be ridiculous to make that illegal, wouldn't it?


The words are written in the first chapter of the first book.

Clearly God did not mean “use” as “in turn into rope and strangle other people” (violating other commandments) but nowhere does God say herbs can’t be used for medicine or wine can’t be used for its intoxicating effects, (within some reasonable degree of moderation.)


Been a while since I've read Genesis but I don't recall God putting any terms and conditions on it


All of the Bible is T&C’s. God’s goal was to make it longer than Apple’s but he failed. (Ironically Apple was the one fruit Adam and Eve weren’t supposed to eat.)


Tells you to eat every planet, creates plants that are fatally poisonous to humans.

That God fella sure is strange.


Nah he just created all the plants/fruits/etc. and then gave them to Adam and Eve without an instruction manual. Never told them to eat anything in particular. I think it was still a nice gesture.


maybe we're using the word "imflammation" to describe too much stuff?

I mean, we name viruses & bacterias by their category/shape/etc, so shouldn't we do something similar to inflammation? eg. blue, vege-inflammation, red inflammation, pink-diamond-shaped inflammation inflammation-from-burn, etc?


The article about this study does exactly that?

> The study used a panel of 19 cytokines—small immune-signaling proteins—to assess inflammation patterns. While these markers aligned with aging in the Italian and Singaporean datasets, they did not replicate among the Tsimane and Orang Asli, whose immune systems were shaped by persistent infections and distinct environmental exposures.

[...]

> The authors call for a reevaluation of how aging and inflammation are measured across populations and emphasize the need for standardized, context-aware tools. "Factors like environment, lifestyle—such as high physical activity or a very low-fat diet—and infection may all influence how the immune system ages," said Cohen. "Understanding how these elements interact could help develop more effective global health strategies."

Not sure how you think your fictitious categories would help or present any new ideas. The study already does what you call for, but using science instead of imagination.


sorry I didn't read the article - just the parent comment


I often make the same mistake, my comment was not meant to be harsh


We do. But you can’t expect social media health influencers/grifters to use them, yet they’re the backbone of American health and nutrition education.


> What Israel is doing is tame compared to

this.

even though some Israel's actions are spooky (targeted-exploding walkytalkies?), they're at least designed to minimize civilian deaths (or at least they're trying)

But... Iran and their ilks (eg. Hamas)? they not only don't give a shit, but actively seek to kill civilians with maximum brutality (baby beheadings, killing & parading even with non-israeli bodies)


Can you explain to us what the genocide in Gaza is? I need a thorough explanation of the images I see out of there. What the hell is 50k dead and ghetto camp conditions?

“Tame”

Either you have no respect for my eyes or brain or I am truly an idiot. Write blog articles explaining how what we see and hear is bullshit and post it here please, we’ll assess.

1200 != 50,000

But here is the true mind fuck, 1200 != even one innocent.

Barbaric != Tame

So we march people down from the North to the South, level the area, and then logistically starve them? Tame. Do you know how the Americans marched the Native Americans to death? We’re all fucking idiots to you right?

HN is just subset of society. You’ve got everyone here, including Israeli apologists. Plenty of Jewish developers too. You don’t have to live or die by your “team” when they are literally fucking wrong about this.

Your typical educated American does not even attempt to defend most American policy since the end of WW2 (there’s literally not a single right thing America did). Maybe we’re lucky that we get to have such clear heads about it finally, and I hope the same for those on the wrong side of history on this one, however long it takes.

When one realizes they were barbarically wrong is a true moment of personal and spiritual growth.

The definition of modern national pragmatism appears to be the following based on what so many apologists say:

2 wrongs == 1 right

(The only way this can be correct in anyone’s heart is if emotions have fully overtaken the person)

Let me fix that for you:

2 wrongs != 1 right


> Can you explain to us what the genocide in Gaza is?

A population caught up in a horrible conflict. In part due to the choices of the leaders they've supported for decades now.

> I need a thorough explanation of the images I see out of there. What the hell is 50k dead and ghetto camp conditions?

They're the same tragedies as those from most of the other war torn areas in the region. I hate to say it, but Gaza is at the "risk of famine" while the Sudan and Yemen are in full on famine. There's also two orders of magnitude more civilians suffering in Sudan currently as well. Similarly in Yemen, which is being bombed routinely by Saudis and Americans which include innocent civilian deaths. I've not heard of one anti-Saudi protest by Muslims in the west in recent years.

Where's the constant Wester or Muslim outrage for the 100,000s or millions of civilian deaths directly caused by Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah or more throughout the region by extremist Islamists?

You can also find the recent videos of interviews with Palestinians where they praise and thank Trump for giving the food (GHF) while they curse Hamas for hoarding the food and using their children as war fodder.

Did the media also show you the videos of the Palestinians in Northern Gaza protesting Hamas for being terrorists and killing their children in March? Many of them understand who started and wanted the war. They call it war and blame Hamas.

Does that justify all the actions of Israel? No, but I also believe Israel also acts to prevent the worse from coming around. They supply water, food, and aid while the other military forces like Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc do not do that for their enemies civilians. They regularly provide bombing warnings and evacuation notices to civilians, unlike pretty much any other force in the region.

Does the IDF also have bad actors and commit war crimes as well? Yes, but most Israeli's don't want or support that.

> But here is the true mind fuck, 1200 != even one innocent.

Tell that to almost any nations at war. There's always civilian casualties. For the Israelis it's 1200 today, and in their experience it'll be another 1200 tomorrow, and 1200 the day after and so on if they did not attack back and remove Hamas. 50,000+ dead is terrible but the statistics of civilians to combatant casualties are similar to other conflicts in the region, despite Hamas being internationally known for using civilians as shields.

Where's the constant outrage for the 150,000 dead in Yemen due to the fighting there and the 227,000 dying of famine and the ghetto conditions there? The conflict in Palestine isn't that unique in the region except that the media covers Palestine far more. The double standards on display in the west are absurd and masterfully exploited by the Islamist extremists spearheaded by Iran.


Callous blood-thirst. It's not righteous and no one is entitled to acting on it. I won't go any further, but you can have the last word.


"non-profit" doesn't mean "this guys are morally right and only conveys truths"

it just means that they don't pay taxes


hmm have you actually read the article? did you find anything of "substance" other than hand-wavy "this company is from israel, so must be mosad" or "has notorious for its questionable practices" (without even giving actual examples or incidents)?

I mean, if I was the mosad guy planting a deal with samsung, I wouldn't even name the app "AppCloud"

heck, why would you even make it appear to the user?

this is a classic competitor-bashing article -- no substance, only hand-wavy "this guys bad!"

I'm guessing this can be traced to others like xiami/huawei/etc who definitely want to get samsung's slice of the market there


I just don't get the fuss from the pro-LLM people who don't want anyone to shame their LLMs...

people expect LLMs to say "correct" stuff on the first attempt, not 10000 attempts.

Yet, these people are perfectly OK with cherry-picked success stories on youtube + advertisements, while being extremely vehement about this simple experiment...

...well maybe these people rode the LLM hype-train too early, and are desperate to defend LLMs lest their investment go poof?

hmm this might be solved in some simple ways:

1. create `with_err` function: some_mayerr_func().with_err_log()?

2. add 'newbie beginner mode(default)' / 'expert mode (optimized)' for rust:

- current Rust default is a bit too focused on code-optimization, too much so that it defaults to removing backtrace

- default should be 'show every backtrace even for handled errors (in my code, not the lib code -- bonus points for "is handled" checkbox)'


Could you elaborate on your first idea? I don't understand it.

Your second idea is interesting, but I feel like it would be too magical for Rust. You fundamentally need a Backtrace field to add backtraces to your error types. Adding an invisible, inaccessible, always-implicitly-initialized field sounds too weird and non-Rusty to me. The language doesn't have anything like that right now.

Also, which types should even get this special field? Every type that implements the Error trait? Again, it's a very weird special case full of magic.


there's ("I'm hoping someone would...") phrase omitted here...

> (I'm hoping someone would) create `with_err` function: some_mayerr_func().with_err_log()

about: Adding an invisible, inaccessible, always-implicitly-initialized field sounds too weird and non-Rusty to me

maybe rust-devs are too focused on "zero-cost abstraction"? I mean, if I'm building for embedded sys, I have to make sure I don't waste any ram... but for other cases like web-server dev, it's much better to have some-cost abstraction that helps debugging

(this might actually be one of the reason rust isn't used a lot despite having an extremely good language basis/growth -- other one being async cancellation...)


To me, it's less about memory usage and performance, and more about language simplicity and constistency (which is another big advantage of Rust, although many people would disagree with me on this).

> this might actually be one of the reason rust isn't used a lot despite having an extremely good language basis/growth

I think, it's mostly these two things:

1. Rust is not suited for a certain exploratory style of programming that many people prefer. It's more suited for writing robust production systems and infrastructure software (which together can still be a large niche).

2. But the ecosystem isn't quite there yet, to justify using it in production over the alternatives. I guess, unless the alternatives are C/C++ and their existing libraries aren't crucial to the domain :D

if someone's bringing "google payscale" for comparison... well that's not some average joe...

why not just bring Bill Gates and say "everything -- including private jet -- is dirt cheap" ?

$8k per year simply doesn't make sense for 95% of the programmers. For a lot of developing countries, that's more than a well-paying programmer's annual salary...


I presented a conditional calculation using numbers contextually-relevant to a forum run by a company that funds US tech startups.

IF you are such a company, THEN you only need very minor productivity improvements to justify such a price difference. IF you are such a company, THEN such costs are well within the cost of doing business. IF you are NOT then you are free to apply your own numbers to your situation.

However, the overwhelming majority of companies that fall into the applicable category outright refuse to even consider the possibility of a 8 k$ capital expense on software development tooling out of the absolutely foolish belief that such expenditure CAN NOT be justified as such a cost could not possibly be recouped in benefits or out of the absolutely foolish belief that a product that costs 100$ must be 100x better than a product that costs 1$ to be justified, and thus a product that costs money must be infinitely better than a product that is free to be justified.

It is absolutely management incompetence for US employers to just shut down upon hearing about a 8 k$ capital expenditure instead of doing a proper cost-benefit analysis to determine if such expenditures would be justified.


I agree with you. At most companies your manager would never even think of spending that much money on you, even if it was completely justifiable. You’re lucky if you can get permission to buy a $50 book.

That said, if you’re going to spend money on a debugger then I recommend rr + Pernosco instead. Pernosco is a completely different kind of debugger that will make you much, much more productive at debugging than any traditional debugger where you start by adding breakpoints and then stepping through your code. Costs a lot less too.

if a TV seller went bonkers and only said "it's 10:16", can you guess the actual size of that TV?


But that's not what is being expressed. You might as well complain that the ratio doesn't give you information on the price, weight, or power usage of the TV.
