American tax payers will now pay for a hospital ship which will be sent to Greenland, Trump claims on Truth Social.

Let me rephrase that: The US, which does not offer free healthcare to its own people, wants it's own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.

Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

The sadism described in this article—the shackling of a retired tourist couple in their 60s; the detention of the old woman for the crime of packing her husband’s suitcase (his visa had expired); the guards who swear at her and make her sleep on the floor—is, as many have observed, the point. But it won’t deter all others from visiting the US, because of the canny way it channels libidinal energy: 1/2

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:

Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.

Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.

In the mean time, continue getting acquainted with Black history in this nation as a view of people who have continued to persevere in spite of fascism.

@bbelderbos Nice! 🤓

Did you know that the `sum` method is actually a trait method of the `Sum` trait?

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.Sum.html#tymethod.sum

The `Sum` trait is also implemented for e.g. `Option`, where `T` is itself implementing `Sum`:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#impl-Sum%3COption%3CU%3E%3E-for-Option%3CT%3E

Example:
```rust
let sum_opt: Option<_> = [Some(1), Some(2), Some(3)].into_iter().sum();
assert_eq!(sum_opt, Some(6))

```

V8 will go faster with naive Float32Array accessors than classes w/ all the vtable dispatch, but once you manually unroll your loops, classes (with hot IC data) just scream.

Bun/JSC seem to have faster paths for raw TypedArray access; I can get them (with unrolling) to nearly 2x faster than classes w/ unrolling across larger collections and 1.5x faster than the fastest Node/v8 approach. Fascinating.

slightlyoff@toot.cafe ("Alex Russell") wrote:

It's truly impressive how fast the V8 IC implementation can be in a hot loop; it's almost impossible to beat a monomorphic object + member method + manual loop unrolling for things that would be fastest in C/C++ as "fatty structs".
