Israels Armee fordert zu Evakuierung von Hafenstädten im Jemen auf
Die Huthi im Jemen greifen regelmäßig Israel an. Israels Luftwaffe flog vor einigen Tagen Angriffe auf Ziele der Miliz. Nun gibt es eine Evakuierungsaufforderung für mehrere Hafenstädte im Jemen - und offenbar eine erneute Attacke.
Working on an mini-oxm (orm and odm in one) in rust and tinkering on the way how entity data should be tunneled back to the caller. Normally this would be done by a simple generic but I want the Driver/Backends to be dyn-compatible so the decision which backend to use can be done at runtime.
Currently I have two prototyped designs:
- Either a
trait Row { fn try_get(&self, idx: &str) -> Result<&Box<dyn Any>, Error>; }, where each driver must encode the data into an custom row type and is thus memory bound, or - By an provider-consumer approach that uses two concurrent async tasks (
tokio::spawn) and communicates by one sharedArc<Mutex<Option<Box<dyn Any>>>>slot that is blocked until the consumer has consumed it. This is light on memory but has the burden of requiring async (which is already required so no problem) but also a lot more of syncronsation code (Mutex, CondVar etc.)
So at the end it's the old problems of memory vs CPU time; choose one or the other, not both.... I could now microbenchmark it but both approaches will perform VERY differently based on context / environment / application, so benchmarking it dosnt give that much insight I think. Sure I could implement both based on an create feature (or directly let people choose via a low-level API) but would that benefit that users?
What's your opinion?

The image features a social media post with a black background. At the top, there is a username "[@]a_letter_" and a caption that reads, "watching gay porn in public but doing this the entire time so ppl know I'm straight." Below the text is a large, yellow emoji with a mischievous expression. The emoji has wide, blue eyes, a small, open mouth, and a hand with a finger pointing to its cheek, with a strand of hair or a line drawn next to it. The emoji's expression conveys a sense of playful deception. At the bottom of the image, there is a Shutterstock watermark with the ID "195080234," and additional text indicating the post was made at "4:22 AM · 7/21/23 from Earth" with "192K Views."

Some thirty years ago, my girlfriend at the time planted this crabapple as a gift to my grandmother. It is now immense and fills the air with fragrance every spring, and in the fall, it is loaded with fruit for the birds. A treasured gift that has outlived my grandmother, my former girlfriend, and most likely me as well.

Analysis: Why many Americans are unaware of Gazans' weekly non-violent protests before Oct 7:
Every week, 1000s of Gazans participated in a nonviolent, Gandhian march to end the Israeli blockade.
And every week, Israeli snipers mowed down dozens of them, killing and maiming unarmed people of all ages.
The Israelis called such massacres "mowing the lawn".
