Of course, I understand that they made that decision. I was just replying to this: > of cause generics can make your code slower, what did people expect. It's not unreasonable that some people might have expected monomorphization.

I think the reasoning is that for something that's commonly used for many different types, you won't go through the effort of re-implementing that function for each type (it may not even be feasible to do so). Which means you&#x27

From the article: > Monomorphization is a total win for systems programming languages: it is, essentially, the only form of polymorphism that has zero runtime overhead, and often it has negative performance overhead. It makes generic cod

I'm using Firefox and don't see that issue. Maybe some kind of plugin you have installed?

Why should my note taking app or food ordering app be consuming resources that more important apps could be using?

They both work for me.

Why couldn’t that be done in a separate thread?

I think that’s the point. When every app uses a different set of UI primitives, there’s no consistent UI to become accustomed to. Instead you have to become accustomed to each individual app.

If you’re doing a low carb diet, you probably want high fat and moderate protein.
734.
by wtetzner 5y ago
Carbs increase insulin more than fat or protein. Insulin is a fat storage hormone, so having carbs with your meals means you’re likely going to store more of the calories you consumed as fat.

More hardware means you can do more things. Yes, lots of software is slow and bloated for no reason. But sometimes you want to be able to do more than the current hardware allows. And it's not like the rustc devs haven't been work

They mentioned they were happier having enough money to get out, but not actually getting out. Maybe that’s the difference? Just knowing it’s an option?

Obviously if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you’ll lose weight. But the inverse is not necessarily true. It’s possible to consume more calories than you burn and still lose weight, because your body doesn’t necessarily utilize all ca

But you don’t write your own framework, you write a program. Not trying to make something too generic can keep things much simpler.

Debugging is one. I’ve spent and enormous amount of time debugging problems that never would have occurred without Spring, and even more debugging things that would have been much easier to debug without Spring. And even if I didn’t have to

by wtetzner 5y ago
I don’t understand why people use Spring. Having worked in more than enough Spring projects, your frankly better off without any framework than using Spring.

One of the modifications some GMO plants have is to produce more/more effective lectins to make them more resilient against insects. Given research on lectins shows many of them are harmful to human health, it seems like a valid concer

by wtetzner 5y ago
I don’t think GMO is necessarily bad, but while companies are working on ways to make plants more robust, I doubt they’re taking the long term effects on human health into account.
