Are you referring to the ballpark "specifications" in the article? If so, I don't know of any material that can withstand the stresses of the weights and speeds mentioned in it ... unless you are going for really low wing loading (think dirigible).
Current inflation is mostly supply-side driven. Having said that, M2's biggest jump in its history was in early 2020 (see https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL). Its slope before and after is more or less the same. However, I don't think inflation will lag it by more than a year.
I'm really sorry, I linked the wrong article. The quote in my comment is from the abstract of this [1] study. It's a meta-analysis by a professor of epidemiology at Yale. He also wrote an op-ed that ran in Newsweek. [2]
> Covid is an autoimmune disease. The Over active immune response is what is killing people.
The virus triggers an acute immune response. This is not the same as an autoimmune disease, it may be the opposite. Also, people with certain blood types that have better clotting ability seem to be at a disadvantage.
Glad to hear everyone in this thread is a doctor, instead of investigators curious to look at potential solutions to covid besides a miracle vaccine (which no one is doubting the side effects of that by the way).
Including yourself, it seems, flippantly denouncing a potential vaccine.
While I would not trust someone posting here on HN about medical advice, I would trust doctors from around the world who have stated that, for example, hydroxychloroquine is not recommended for use against SARS-CoV-2, and I would absolutely trust them over any poster here and any politician.
More to your point: there may be potential solutions that are not a vaccine but I'll trust researchers and doctors to find those solutions, rather than doing the investigation myself, as they are much more highly trained than I ever will be on the subject.
> benchmarks have shown that exceptions are generally faster
The blog post you linked to says "Immediately we see that once the stack depth grows above a certain size (here 200/3 = 66), exceptions are always faster. This is not very interesting, because call stacks are usually not this deep (enterprise Java notwithstanding). For lower depths there is a lot of noise, especially for GCC ..." So ... not exactly "generally faster".
Also, the test is only for Linux. The same test on Windows/VC++ will probably run a lot slower ... again not "generally faster"
Look at all the results. Even before that exceptions are more often a win than a loss.
> The same test on Windows/VC++ will probably run a lot slower ...
By default on 32-bit, with SJLJ exceptions, that's likely. But on 64-bit windows the default exception handling (SEH) uses a similar mechanism than Linux and should have comparable performance.

AFAIK SEH in Windows calls RaiseException() which in turn causes a user/kernel mode transition, probes for exception/termination handlers, and vectored exception handlers depending on the severity. It's been a while but I'm not sure the code GCC generates in Linux is quite like this.
