OP is speaking to the market level effective demand.

Someone who's poor and starving will direct their own very limited economic purchasing power toward food. But the marketas a whole includes those who are wealthy (far fewer in number, but individually having vastly greater purchasing power), who might prioritise energy purchases generally.

It's not the poor's own food-vs-energy deceisions, but poor-food vs. rich-energy, which are in play.
Same here, it did not dissapoint!

You misquoted, I never said Result is not a core concept.

What I said is that “A function returns Result” in the universal sense (that is, everything that is a function returns Result) is not a core concept in Rust.

Some functions return Result<T,E> for some <T,E>. Some functions return Option<T> for some T. Some functions have no reason to use that kind of generic wrapper type (a pure function that handles any value in its range and returns a valid value in a simple type for each doesn't need either; Option/Result are typically needed with otherwise non-total functions or functions that perform side effects that can fail.)

Not necessarily: my mother mainly suppressed the languages she had grown up with as the country we were living in (and where I was born) had explicit racial laws that discouraged non-white immigration and she didn’t want us to suffer for either speaking a wog language or error English skills. We pretty much used only words for things that couldn’t really be expressed in English.

She was initially unhappy with my son not being raised primarily in English though she eventually came around.

I do wish that NGINX made LetsEncrypt as easy as to use as Caddy does. We are all big fans of LetsEncrypt and are quite happy to see NGINX donating to the project.

In this project (MARA), LetsEncrypt support is integrated via [Cert Manager](https://cert-manager.io/) for Kubernetes. This is nice because it supports certs from a variety of issuers like AWS, Google, Vault, Cloudflare, etc in addition to Let's Encrypt.
> I came to conclusion that nuclear is not going to be built at scale needed at least in this decade. China is having success in their build out, but China's approach without huge bureaucracy/political overhead is not possible elsewhere.

You are not wrong here. Nuclear is clearly a better solution. However, if the political forces and dominant ideological framework/cult opposes it, there is no way to make it happen.

What we need is a Kennedy-style movement with a goal to "go to the moon" in nuclear power plant terms, in ten years. If everyone is aligned behind a common goal there is absolutely no question that a nation like the US can do it. So can Europe. We are not unique in that sense. It requires clear goals and no-bullshit unity of vision and purpose.

To the extent that this is impossible to achieve, yes, we can probably say that nuclear is but a dream.

Sadly, almost any construction at scale is impossible in the US these days. In California we have already spent over 100 billion dollars on a high speed train that was supposed to cost 10 billion. They only built about ten miles of low speed track and it doesn't even run. So, yes, again, you are right. So long as incompetence reigns high we can't get out of our own way, nuclear or otherwise.

> even though I knew that what they were really saying was that I was “articulate for being Black”

I can understand where this comes from, but I also wonder, how could one honestly compliment someone like the author for being articulate without it being taken this way? I sense it as someone having a chip on their shoulder (maybe for good reason), but it seems some folks are looking for offense when none is intended.
While a decent recommendation, it has a fairly small cap for someone with a lot of money to invest.
I see it a lot with other iterables, too. People may like one liners and functional style more than a procedural `for (of)` construct, so they use `[...iterable].any_array_function(...)` everywhere, except when foced not to by async code :).

Might also have something to do with Redux and immutable patterns. (the use of spread operator in general)

It's intractable. There is no solution except teaching people how to identify and protect themselves from narcissists, or institutionalization.

People with narcissistic traits can work towards undoing the damage done to them; but, once you're at the level of a personality disorder it becomes more about coping with the inevitable and continuous fallout. Genetics, trauma, and childhood abuse all come together to create a shell of a human being who, motivated by self-preservation, exists only to consume, exhaust, and expel other human beings.

There are no evidenced treatments, and there is no saving them. They are not capable of changing -- if they were, they wouldn't be (by definition) narcissists. The best thing we can do is teach people to identify and protect themselves from these lost souls.
The reason why they went down the slot route was for packaging reasons.

Cache was still external at that point. There would be performance benefits from brining it on die, but larger chips are more expensive to make & using two smaller dies (one for CPU & one for cache like the Pentium Pro) is still quite expensive.

The middle ground was to put the CPU and cache on a single PCB, so you end up with a cartridge form factor. By the time the next generation rolled around it was possible to put the CPU and cache on the same die at a reasonable cost (Moore's law), making the cartridge form factor obsolete.

> impressive accomplishments: a dozen academic degrees in various fields

Having a dozen academic degrees is not impressive even if true. If true, it would be a warning sign that the person isn't able to move on to something deeper and more meaningful than degrees.
Thank you for stating this.

As much as I worry about US ( and my adopted home ), it is a ridiculous exaggeration to call it outright authoritarian ( or closed for that matter ). It does not mean that there are no attempts at making it so, but I think we are still somewhat far from it for now.

Sometimes I wonder if the exaggeration is just the way we communicate today ( everything is a crisis / sky is falling / we are all gonna die / find out which commonly used household item is deadly ) as that is what the population was taught about the world by interacting with ads online.
Does anybody else feel the hair on their neck rise when they hear accusations of narcissism? A few times in my life I've known people who tried to control me by accusing all of my other friends of being narcissists, telling me that I should stop being around them. I now believe that accusing other people of narcissism is one method employed by narcissists, so these sort of accusations now make me very nervous about the person making them.

Also it reminds me of the 'asshole' theory; that if you meet an asshole one day, you've simply met an asshole. But if you meet many assholes every day, it's probably you who's the asshole. Somebody who perceives many narcissists all over the place is somebody I'm wary of.
Couldn't agree more. You never want to be the dumbest one in the room. Stressful and dangerous position to find oneself in.

>for good people

yep, as long as you're "good" according to Russia&Assad. Russia is weaponizing the food the way it has weaponized natural gas and oil. In some sense that is a weapon of mass destruction posed to be used in the next few years with casualties going into millions or even tens of millions ballpark if one to look at various predictions of the food price rises and shortages in the next few years.
The reverse is true.

SIMD is harder because you have to have a uniform operation across a set of data.

Imagine a for loop that looks like this

int[] x, y, z;
int[] p, d, q;

for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
p[i] = x[i] / z[i]
d[i] = z[i] * x[i]
q[i] = y[i] + z[i]
}

For SIMD, this is a complicated mess for the compiler to unravel. What the compiler would LIKE to do is turn this into 3 for loops and use the SIMD instructions to perform those operations in parallel.

The itanium optimization, however, is a lot easier. The compiler can see that none of p, d, or q depend on the results of the previous stage (that is q[i] doesn't depend on p[i]). As a result, the entire thing can be packed into a single operation.

Now, of course, modern OOO processors can do the same optimization so maybe it's not a huge win? Still, would have been something worth exploring more (IMO) but the market forces killed it. Moving that sort of optimization out of the processor hardware and into the compiler software seems like it could lead to some nice power/performance benefits.
Can you talk more about your method for solving problems? That's normally where I get stuck.
That's sad. Don't care about music much but for synthesizer I always make an exception. Guess I'll be listening to the Blade Runner OST tomorrow at the gym in remembrance.
The question was would they really "say" it.
anyone can cash a fraudulent check, though it may be against their "rules"

edit: Quite puzzled that this is being downvoted. The comment I responded to is suggesting to disregard the TLD's rules when registering domains. You certainly can do that but as far as I understand it is a form of fraud (you are materially misrepresenting yourself and your situation to the TLD). Realistically probably the worst that will happen to you is that your domain will get yanked if they figure it out but that might well be a problem for you and regardless it doesn't change that what you did likely violated multiple laws.

> you change what your species used to eat, you evolve into something else

That is definitely not how evolution works. First of all, evolution doesn't happen noticeably over one or two generations, which is the timeline we're talking about here. Secondly, show me how something affects fecundity or survival before we can even begin talking about its affect on evolution.

2. This IS concrete. It's a mixture of sand as aggregate and plastic as a cement AKA binding agent.
I think what you're saying is true in the best run businesses, but that's not what we're seeing right now. We're seeing cuts from business that were hiring like crazy a few weeks ago.
You sweet summer child! First, this thing hasn't even started. My fellow vets of the dot com bust will remember that period in the summer of 2000 where we all called it "the correction": the sentiment was that some companies that never should have been funded in the first place would (obviously!) perish, but that those companies that "made picks and shovels" would endure. (A Gold Rush-era metaphor that I heard countless times.) At least in 2000, that optimism turned out to be misguided: when there are NO MINERS AT ALL there is little need for picks and shovels -- and the big tech companies all saw their businesses severely adversely affected by the end of 2000.

And of course, it took years to find a bottom: the bust went so deep that EVERY significant tech company in ~2000 went through layoff after layoff after layoff over the first half of the next decade, as documented by the HN of the day, fuckedcompany.com[0]. Yes, the housing bubble started to form mid-decade, but tech itself hadn't really meaningfully recovered when 2008 arrived (and this famous Sequoia memo!) -- and it was only from the embers of THAT bust (broadly deeper but much less acute in tech) that the next bubble began to form.

So in terms of now: it's hard to know where this thing is going, but there are more parallels (to me) to the Dot Com Bust than to the 2008 Recession. I expect this thing to run pretty deep in tech, and I think some sectors (ahem, web3) may well face extinction. If it does run that deep, you will only know that it's over in hindsight: it will take years to recover, and it's only when everyone stops thinking about it that the seeds of a true recovery will be planted. So, get comfortable: it may be a while.

One final note. Back in the depths of the bust (maybe 2003?), I saw a bumper sticker on the 101 that stuck with me: "Please God, Just One More Bubble." I remember thinking at that time that there would be no more bubbles forthcoming -- that nothing could possibly be as frothy as what I had lived through. I was wrong, of course, and I really hope the driver of that car cashed out on their NFT marketplace or whatever!

I used to keep a 12 month e-fund in cash. Then it became 6. Not too long I moved it to be almost 0. Which yes, that sounds very wrong.

But the thing is, if we get to a place where my investment accounts & credit card can't cover me for several months we as a society have much bigger problems. I'd prefer to not have to eat into those, and yes if the markets crash enough I'd have fewer months buffer in there. But if the shit hits the fan enough that I can't live off of it for a while I don't believe cash will help out a whole lot either.

Granted over the last couple of months the net value of that money would have dropped less if it were cash than in my investment accounts. But that's another matter altogether.
I don't know what OP was running but the G5 iMacs were some of the machines suffering from the early 2000s capacitor plague[0]. The power supplies and power regulation on the logic boards would die on those all the time. If you were lucky it was just the power supply but the problem usually needed a PSU and logic board swap.

Sorry, I don’t get understand your response. Most Caddy’s competitors use OpenSSL, and so are vulnerable to bugs in it. A lot of those bugs, like for example heartbleed, are only possible due to the nature of the C language. Those kinds of bugs, the memory safety bugs, are prevented when using memory safe languages like Go. These bugs are real and serious, and collectively cost billions of dollars in damages.
Interesting that Intel has such an impressive record of failed designs. Itanium, 860, and iAPX 432 - all anti-classics of their time.
Came here to say just this, this ranks higher than anything on the front page currently and is not very old. Usually HN algorithm allows a slow fall for high vote posts like this. This one’s quick descent right off the top 100 seems human-made.

Some beans can be large sources of anti-nutrients [1] . Because over consumption of anti-nutrient foods can seriously impact your overall health, it is important to think about when getting a balanced diet.

Another example is soy, which has been studied some [2] . The problem is with longterm vegans that consume a huge amount of soy over a long term.

That's true, but the intrinsic bias of...well, pretty much everyone...is to overhire, so that's what you need to fight. I don't think I've met anyone who was suffering from under-hiring, unless it was a situation forced upon them by lack of resources.

People feel important and "arrived" when they lead a big organization, and also, it can feel like you're doing the right thing, because it alleviates some stress. Even if you're otherwise allergic to large teams, you're so busy as a founder that any help feels like good help.

Yeah, the gaslighting cracks me up. I too escaped a former Soviet bloc country that Russia invaded in exactly the same way it is invading Ukraine right now.

But these countries are “all the same”, right? Right?

As someone with several narcissistic traits, the book "The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck" by Mark Manson was an eye-opener. It succinctly describes detrimental thought patterns that you might even not know you have, and gives examples of more productive mindsets.

Can recommend for anyone dealing with insecurities.
That was my situation as well.

Ive thought a lot about that lately and found an explanation (about why do narcicism and psychopathy seem to be more trendy) which satisfies me.

Farms and factories used to employ a lot of people. It was the default job back in the day. So we have two things, 1) it was difficult to get out, especially when you do things superficially and 2), well then, being a "body person" (think muscles) was more trendy than being a "brain person" (think nerd). I dont think the nerds are mocked at schools anymore, I think they are the stars (though its actually conjecture, Id love to verify that).

So yeah, more people out of guetto lives (one might say not the best on average, if you'd forgive me the shortcut here) and the need to look smart socially. Boom psycho crisis.

As a sidenote, same thing happened with the web, it used to be a nerd-with-glass thing (many wouldn't even want to be seen with a computer), you had to have a computer which was expensive and useless for your say, average factory worker.

Now what can we do? Teach children basic psychology, yoga and buddhism maybe? We got to do something because thats a lot of people on the brain market now and thats not gonna end well :)

In collectivist cultures, a narcissist is one who makes the appearance of caring very much about others/society/the nation, when in fact they're really doing so because of appearances.
Fair point.

Though my understanding is that ethanol as a fuel additive is largely an anti-knock lead substitute. Alcohol was the originally-proposed solution, before the creation and adoption of tetraethyl lead. Apparent cost advantages drove the adoption of the latter. True costs proved somewhat greater.

My read is that the "biofuel" branding of fuel ethanol is actually a misdirection, though I don't have a good source on that.
If your talking to employees who care at all about the supposed equity they were given, then you need to be prepared to reset the employee equity pool to be meaningful.

In particular, many of the employees will have options that are obviously underwater. Any belief they had in dreams of billion dollar valuations will be gone.
Dealing with narcissist is relatively straightforward - it's the dark triad types you need to watch out for. They will try to ruin your life just for the fun/sport of it.
Yes, but laws require going through a legislative process. Agency regulation changes happen almost unilaterally, and generally much faster.
