"Using" is used for the same purpose in C# tries to keep keyword symmetry with

Ah, I didn't realise that. It seems typescript wasn't the first language to use the verb "use" inconsistently :)

*Which Typescript tries to keep keyword symmetry with


TypeScript is just implementing a stage 3 JavaScript feature. It's not their own invention.


It’s not, though the author and champion of the TC39 proposal is a Microsoft employee and has generally championed features that have a close analogue to those from C# (eg. cancellation tokens).


Both those. And butter, avocado oil, coconut oil and numerous other more niche


Avocado oil is about 15x as expensive as vegetable oil. Other oils (including animal fats) have too strong a taste to be used in applications where a neutral oil is required (e.g. salad dressings, emulsions).


Unless you're deep frying everything, which arguably unhealthy regardless of chosen fat, it's hard to believe avocado oil is a significant component to meal cost. I just pan fried some vegetables, and I may have spent 5c on oil?


I'm with you. Even using the most expensive Avocado I could find at the Whole Foods in the smallest container I'd still only be spending $0.30 on a tablespoon, which is enough to cook a meal for 1-4 people in a cast iron pan. Doing this makes me feel a lot better than having to worry about the temperature of a teflon-coated pan.


> Unless you're deep frying everything, which arguably unhealthy regardless of chosen fat

Why would it be unhealthy if the fat used is not unhealthy?


Other than deep frying, there is nothing that doesn't benefit from the application of olive oil.


But be aware that not all olive oil is actually olive oil. Particularly not if it is from Italy.

I specifically buy California olive oil because external attempts to verify (eg genetic assays) have found it actually is what it says it is.


I would love a recommendation on quality, reasonably price california olive oil (that ships) if anyone has one.

For a long time, I was able to get California Olive Ranch (which was generically fine), but that brand has switched to a blend from various countries.


Now I have to research it. I've just kept buying that brand and will need to switch now that you pointed it out.


They have both california sourced oil and a blend of international oils, I think the blend came out when they were having supply issues. They state it plainly on the label.


I fry falafels in it so good there too. Would say anything but Asian food due to the taste.


For cooking, non-virgin coconut oil is cheap and flavourless. The expensive virgin stuff is flavourful and nice on toast but not good for cooking.

In the uk I often find non-virgin coconut oil hidden in the Caribbean section of a big supermarket.



And also the often forgotten Camellia oil that would play in the same top quality league as the olive oil. Extracted from the tea plant and mostly unknown out of Asian kitchens, probably.


Olive oil makes everything you cook in it taste of olive oil, which you might not want.

Sunflower oil doesn't do that, and is healthier.


Be aware that almost all US Olive/Avocado Oil is adulterated with other seed oils. Estimates are 75%+


This program tries to help consumers figure out what to buy: https://www.aboutoliveoil.org/64-certified-pure-and-authenti...


75% is not almost all…plenty of local Californian higher end brands that I find difficult to believe is half soybean oil. Just don’t buy the cheap private label stuff.


Semantics, I guess -- If you pick one at random, you've got a 15-25% chance of it being pure avocado/olive oil. Sure, you can get real stuff if you know what you are looking for.


Peak HN


That sounds like a fairly typical transition into adulthood I would have thought. I know it was for me and my friends, when I was 21 staying up until 4-5am would have been fairly typical for myself, my brain was burning with energy during the night from my mid teens, by the time I was 24 my natural bedtime had shifted back about 4 hours to 12:30, where it's remained.


Lmao who is this "terrifying" for? Google stock holders?


Or maybe ANY other company that ever wants to use snippets online.

This is a classic tactic - pick a fight with the baddest dude in the room and take him down, then nobody else will challenge you.

Google was the baddest dude in town, and now nobody will challenge this law.

Which, rather ironically, means that Google will have FEWER challengers in the future.

So, yeah, “terrifying” is a perfect word for the OP to use here.


Ahah yes « We want to use content created by others but not pay for it, we offer visibility but it’s not our problem how they monetize it »


You like this because it harms Google. I get it.

But the principle and it's implications you have considered deeply and have no issue with them?


You make it sound although everyone lives in a city that FAANG companies hire in? Most of us don't, and most of us don't even have the ability to enter the US to try for most of these jobs. I'm well aware of how Bay area skewered HN is but "just get a job at FAANG" is an incredibly patronising attitude


.NET is a modern web framework


F# is open source and cross platform now since .Net Core


Theres been plenty of work done to make git enterprise scale in the last year

That's a promising project, but it's currently Windows-only. My main point was that Mercurial is very much "not dead yet!"


Servers I'd imagine is where AMD excel, not Intel, considering their primary purpose is serving many users where multi threaded performance comes to the fore. Intels usecase, compiling?


On the server it depends. For front end servers, where you are running many connections with no shared state, AMD crushes Intel so bad it's shameful.

On the backend, for things that are not highly parallelizable or memory sensitive, sometimes Intel wins. Things like databases and the like. That was when Intel still used a single ring bus, the mesh should add latency similiar to Epyc's IIRC. I haven't seen any benchmarks of the newest EPYCs vs the newest Xeons though.
