None of the papers cited in the thread above use the specific terms 'blacks' or 'whites' so I'm pretty happy placing the responsibility for this on OP.
Ye, I get it why eg. gcc would want to bootstrap itself, but why would you want that in general? Also writing the compiler in its own language to me would seem to just make debugging the compiler much harder ...
I take extremely detailed hierarchical notes all day, using software similar to org mode. Enough that it isn't feasible to use handwriting. But when it comes to working out a particularly difficult problem, there's no substitute for pen and paper IMO.

This implies that the interest rate reduction counter-balances the reduction in future cash flows.

In an economy with 15-20% unemployment and entire industries on the brink of destruction ( airlines/travel ) this is not a given. If the 5-10 year revenue projections of air-travel are 1/5th of the pre-covid economy, then a small change to cost of capital won't allow you to continue investing as if nothing happened. The risk inherent to Google's bottom line from long-term structural unemployment and lower ad-revenue should outweigh even a 0% cost of capital.

Interesting use of postmodernism. You are saying modern is now and “post” is being able to see beyond/around/through current notions?

I think it works but postmodernism is a hotly discussed word that will break a reader from their flow. It definitely broke me out and made me think about how it could be applied here, so if that was your intent it worked. I always enjoy the tactical use of literary “flexes” like semi-colons, large words, etc. when they are done fully understanding their impact.

Would love to but my handwriting is awful. Don't know why. I write so cramped, perhaps I am holding the pen too hard. And my writing deteriorated over the years. Became almost illegible in university. Today my hand makes the least effort possible when I write. It is like it wants to drop the pen as soon as possible, but is forced to hold on by its conscious master. The keyboard is a bliss for me, it allows me to make structured notes effortlessly. But I still wish my relationship to handwriting was better.
I'm not saying it's bad to have both. It's bad to have identity politics without first having human rights. Human rights are the foundation on which to build an equal society. Attempting to achieve equality before a even a right to life is secured is perverse and cannot work.

Nominal cash flows can be expected to go up in an inflationary environment
I think the idea behind “value stocks” if I remember the Intelligent Investor correctly was about “book vs. market value” in many aspects. “Buy stocks worth a dollar for pennies”.

I think times have changed. When the automotive industry falters, the assets won’t be worth anything near “book value”.

A very wealthy (now retired) investment banker once told me: “The stock market over-reacts, but is right about the general direction”.

Growth potential, margins and inflation drive stock prices.

I don’t see how tech could be anything but a winner. If anything, Corona has accelerated the need for digitization and buying patterns change.

Buffet did horribly during the crisis. He admittedly undervalued Tech and invested in Airlines - big regrets.

I do not think a lot of industries will go back to the way things were. Why travel in planes if you can do zoom meetings? Why your own car when you can work from home?

Personally, I would rather be worried about the real estate market and office buildings folding in value...

> I'm not saying every (or any) consultant forecast is worth reading, but to dismiss the idea of forecasting because we are wrong is a fundamental misunderstanding of the value of forecasts.

I agree with your original statement but in the portion above you talk about reading someone else's forecast as if that was equivalent to the forecast 'thinking process' you had mentioned.

Reading the end-result of another individual's analysis won't necessarily give you the benefits you just mentioned.

So you're talking about the ability to have type constructors as generic parameters, a feature usually referred to as "higher-kinded types".

Indeed, Rust cannot do this yet, although it will be able to do something like it (but uglier) soon using associated type constructors (something like Haskell's type families).

However, I doubt this will have much impact on error handling.

For example, from your earlier post:

> PS And things from this comment [1] would be very much explainable through "follow the types".

> [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24526604

They already are explainable that way. I went through and mapped the bullets there to the actual language/library features being explained in the corresponding blog post:

- A method on Result

- A method on Result

- A method on Result

- The ? operator

- Existential (boxed) types

- The Any trait

- API design tips

- How to create an ADT and implement some traits for it

- The ? operator uses the From trait

- Pattern matching on ADTs

In short, most of it is explaining either standard library functionality, or general-purpose language features as applied to the error-handling use case. The exception is the one language feature specific to error handling, the ? operator.
By year 1500 world population was 500 million, so my point is that your claim how "before industrialization world population was in the lower hundreds of thousands" is completely incorrect. That's my point.

I'm not calling everything racist, just racist language. I'm am explaining to OP, that if they were unaware, their language is racially charged with out any need. The papers that are mentioned use proper ethnicity identifiers and there is no reason other than ignorance, laziness or bigotry for OP to use those terms. I have therefore assumed the best of OP and it is through ignorance they have used those terms. And on that basis I have sought to impart some knowledge to OP, to teach rather than berate. What's your motivation for arguing with me?
Yea great info to share. Thanks for that!

I’m wondering if that describes this scenario: there aren’t enough dollars, there is high demand for them, but as they get printed they go into securities.

If inflation ticks up a little, they'll rapidly lose value. Bonds give you a contractual guarantee for zero upside. Those multi-decade sub 2% bond issuances are wild.

Thanks for the bounty. Is this resolved when the patch is written and available for anyone to include in their source tree, or when it's merged into the Firefox tree?

(I want to clarify because I've had a patch open for 4 months that's received no attention from maintainers.)
I agree in general, but I do feel like one counterargument needs to be brought up:

> Most languages do not (have a formal specification)

Most languages also aren't trying to replace languages that do. C and C++ are both languages that Rust, afaik rather officially, aims to replace in some areas. It can be a great language like so many others, but if it wants to replace these old giants, it needs to have a proper spec, maybe in the form of an ISO standard. Of course that will come when its time, but thats a good indicator of when a language can compete as an answer to the question of "what tech will we use for our next big, important and highly specialized project?".

This is the pertect indicator of it not being as mature as what it aims to replace.
Arrogant is a tremendous understatement. There's a chance that 10 million years ago on some other planet existed a far more advanced civilization than humans could ever imagine, but they died out after 1 million years. So they would have had 1 million years of advancement, which is still 50 times more advancement than the 2000 or so years of scientific progress we've had, and even that would be but a tiny tiny tiny fraction of a blink of an eye in space and time. To think that "humans have a viable chance of surviving cosmic time" is incredulous if you know even rudimentary physics.
> vitamin D levels are experimentally low in African-Americans and Hispano-Americans. Occum's Razor begs us to justify why this isn't a race-poverty correlation, yet another indication that our society is systematically disenfranchising folks based on skin color and country of origin. With better diet might come better vitamin D blood levels

You are kind of missing the point, which is that the test used for vitamin D levels is not directly measuring the levels of the kind of vitamin D actually needed. It is measuring a different kind of vitamin D, and then we infer the levels of the other kind from that.

This inference is based on data for light skinned people, and it appears that it is not valid for dark skinned people. It underestimates the amount of the needed kind of vitamin D for them.

This may lead to widespread misdiagnoses of vitamin D deficiencies in African-Americans who in fact have fine levels of the kind of vitamin D that is actually needed.

Agree, in addition it is helpful to observe relative weightings. A retail investor with 50k and 2x leverage has less impact than one 100bn+ fund that isn't borrowing
Oh, I completely agree. It's more a comment on the state of things than a criticism of individual people. Most people would be quite capable of making the change, but like you say they are different from me and have different priorities.

Ask HN: What is it like to be old? What advice would you give to younger people?
Older people can remember what it was like to be young. Younger people, on the other hand, cannot know first hand what it is to be or grow old. They can only see others around them and get some sense of the struggles, imagining themselves to be immune to those.

In your experience, what is it like to be or grow old (whatever your definition of old is) from the physical health aspect and the general frailty of the aging human body?

What are the health related struggles that have come into your life or have gotten worse because of increased age and how have you dealt with them?

With your experience and knowledge, what would you advise younger people (or even your own younger self of decades past, if you could)?
IMHO, the question is not that we need code to run on CPUs and GPUs , we do need that, The question is whether the GPU seller has to control both sides. Until I buy a CPU from nvidia I want to keep some kind of independence.

When will we be able to use a future riscv-64 CPU with an nvidia GPU ? we will let the answer to nvidia ?
>. And think this controversy could be avoided if OP chosen more neutral words. But I don't think OP was willfully racist

I agree entirely and said so in my initial comment. As I say elsewhere it was really to inform OP rather than berate them.
I stand corrected! either way they are not universal
We do have a saying, as our product does a lot of atuff differently than competition and our users accept that (they're even looking for that). we also decided that we're not going to become a one customer product, but even with feedback and previous domain experience, it's still hard to model an enterprise product that accommodates all the required processes and data and still feel good and not feel like accounting software.
Alibaba have presented their Xuantie910 RISC-V processor, one month ago at Hot Chips.

It is by far the RISC-V CPU with the highest performance ever designed.

Nevertheless, to reach that performance, they had to add a custom instruction set extension with indexed addressing modes, as a workaround for the greatest defect of the RISC-V ISA, its incomplete set of addressing modes.
That's been the case for new accounts for years as far as I know. (although I'm not sure about the "breaking rules" part - the usual "reason" was "suspicious activity", which makes a tiny sliver more sense. But if they want that for everyone, they should just drop the pretext and require it from the start)
Libya was a military engagement authorized by United Nations Security Council. So don't go blaming the US for everything, the United Nations is who you should be angry at.

Don't confuse United Nations with United States. You should be mad at all the countries in the United Nations then, not just specifically the United States.

And no, they didn't "bomb the shit out of Libya". You're overreacting, and I wonder what agenda you serve.

Unfortunately, it's not just the two of them.

In general, I always start with simplest ("most readable" in the sense of easiest to understand) implementation that I have the time to implement (time is another variable).

If a performant version is a no-brainer in terms of cost to implement, and at worst only slightly reduces readability, I'd probably go with that just because I like to be proud of my code (satisfaction in a job is yet another variable).

Ultimately, I rarely find that readability suffers with performant code.

Unreadable code is usually non-performant because it is hard to improve.

Focus on performance sometimes simply reduces how reusable/generic code is, but I don't find readable and performant to be in opposition at all.
No, “blacks” is not a catch-all term for non-white. Again, it means people whose ancestors are from sub-Saharan Africa. In fact, in the US it is usually even more specific than that, since the vast majority of black Americans’ ancestors are from West Africa specifically.

Similarly, white people or “whites” usually refers to people whose ancestors are from Europe, even though there are other people with light skin tones throughout the world (especially Asian or Native American people in high latitudes).

Not really sure what point you’re making.
