<p>On the contrary I would say. Animal welfare laws explicitly exclude farm animals, while animal scientific research at least requires an ethics panel review, etc. The types of farms in the US that house many many animals, and hence end up in the majority of the meat supply, often have a truly dire existence before death.</p>

<p>Is there any evidence or other form of justification for the Flock CEO's claims about how it is responsible for SF's crime downturn? I find it hard to believe that Flock cameras are at the heart of such a wide-ranging effect. I am not a local, and I have only done a cursory search, but I don't see the elected officials making the same claim -- I have seen them say it has more to do with changing socioeconomic factors.</p>

<p>If Flock has so many issues with this database, and all their solutions are patchwork, and those solutions remain local to the jurisdiction that is locally using Flock, then this is a bad product.<p>If you build a product on a bad database, you cannot load the blame for the resulting bad product on the bad database. If it was not fit for purpose, then the product designers are the problem as much as anything else.<p>This applies doubly for a product that relies so heavily on automation enabling speedy responses with heavy consequences.<p>I understand that this may smack of perfect being the enemy of good, but this domain is akin to medical devices in terms of impact.</p>

<p>I can forgive the modeling being godawful jank (windows floating in the air, disconnected from the house). But I expected it to have a better understanding of the text. Instead, we have Bilbo's "disappearance" interpreted as him magically transporting or cloaking, and similarly for his reappearance.</p>

<p>Not quite true, there is already a capable C compiler written in Zig (Aro/arocc), and a plan to transition to it for C compilation: <a href="https://codeberg.org/ziglang/translate-c" rel="nofollow">https://codeberg.org/ziglang/translate-c</a><p>Using this native (written in Zig) C compiler to translate C source into Zig source as a part of the build, would presumably lend itself trivially to all the incremental logic in TFA, as updating C would update the generated Zig, and the incremental logic would detect differences just like it detects differences made by a human in an editor. Maybe there are aspects of the generated Zig that would complicate that somewhat, but I don't know -- just a warning about my ignorance.<p>This is part of plans to remove the hard LLVM dependency. AFAIK, the LLVM dependency will still be a variant many will use for the convenience of Zig as a much better clang, but removing the hard dependency is part of enabling all these great features like incremental compilation.</p>
