Alcohol destroys many families. People need to hear that. I think it's a shame that no one here can appreciate the reminder and just down votes my comment. Deleted.
I never said it was a rational feeling :)

I don't know the right way to explain the feeling. I think it's mostly the same sadness that one experiences when anything particularly wonderful comes to an end. I have known loss in a variety of ways, and I imagine dying taps in to that same idea of mourning. Something that I enjoy terribly must end, I have to say goodbye to not only a terrific experience - but to experience itself.

It's mostly the anticipation of the thing, not so much the thing. I'm sure once I'm dead I won't care so much that I'm dead. I just care now that one day I will be.

And thus concludes my inability to lend written word to irrational emotion.

Edit: as I sit here reflecting now, I wonder if part of it isn't the fear of regret - of not having taken full advantage, of not having loved enough or having wasted time on things actually inconsequential. It's also making me wonder if I already know that I'll have those regrets and maybe should make a few changes. Tonight got deeper that I expected it to...
Just out of curiosity, what do you imagine happening in the "post-peak-office" world?

The "post-peak-paper" world was well known and forecast for decades before it actually happened: people would replace paper documents with electronic documents.

The post-peak-office question is trickier. There's a general feeling that "computers" will replace most jobs, eventually. But then what? Do only some people work, in either a Star Trek utopia or a "Beggars in Spain" dystopia? Do people do something else, that doesn't involve offices?

Right now, while you might argue that automation and productivity gains reduce the need for office work to "get things done", the savings are ultimately just spent on more office work: advertising and the financial sector.
My mom suffered from MS here entire life, and a few years ago left us on her own terms (with the help of some pills) before the age of 60. I don't blame her of course. I also have no idea if she had any help from a doctor or not.

I'm super confused. Let's back up a step.

Most accelerators come in one of a few flavors:

1/ They implement the expensive parts of a primitive for you and let you chain them together. This is how AES-NI and the ARMv8 crypto extensions work. Performance for these is generally measured in terms of cycle latency, or with a reference piece of software in cycles per byte. Common values for cycles per byte are anywhere from about 0.2 to 30. Much higher than that and people will start to go look at software as an option. You tend to see these on beefy systems with out-of-order cores.

2/ They implement a primitive for you, eg AES-ECB or SHA256, or more rarely AES-GCM and similar. These can then be chained together as with the above to build even higher level primitives like AES-CTR or AES-CCM, or they can be used as-is. These are usually found on micros as additional selling points, and therefore show up just above the bottom of most manufacturers' product lines as an upsell. These are typically measured in something like MB/s throughput, and I assume they're what you're focused on.

3/ They implement a full protocol, like TLS, CCMP, or secure boot. These show up on things that might more properly deserve the term SoC rather than microcontroller, largely because they tend to be attached to high-speed I/O. They generally aren't measured for cryptographic performance but rather for the performance of the implemented protocol.

In my mind, all three of these are using crypto accelerators. Taken together it is extremely common that a part will have one or more of these, and I'm not sure if we're still disagreeing on one or both of those points.

Regarding ECB, I don't know what you mean. Almost nobody uses ECB alone (thank goodness). Even if they have an accelerator for it, it's usually used to implement something like CTR with some software to glue it together (maybe with then yet more glue to do GCM). In that way, those accelerators act like a just-barely-higher-level version of the first type-- and if what you have is the first type of course you'll do that no matter what. This is still an accelerated implementation, it's just not 100% done in the accelerator. Of course, if you're doing that you're very often encrypting more than a block at a time. And because it's quite rare that you will be performance bottlenecked on a small infrequent operation in any context, you generally only do the work to turn on the accelerators when you care about that.

Regarding working on MCUs, I agree there's a minimum size past which you don't get crypto primitives, but overall don't think characterizing those parts as modern SoCs is terribly accurate (which was my claim).

Regarding needing better building blocks than ECB for a protocol... well, no, not necessarily. AES-NI doesn't even give you a full AES primitive, and yet it's extremely widely used.
> Go look at the stock history, the moment Ballmer became CEO in 2000 the price stopped growing

Nah, not really. 2000 was the dot-com bust (which was the start of the death spiral for a lot of formerly high-flyers, including Sun Microsystems) and 2001 was the DoJ consent decree, which brought a lot of MS's attempts to expand to a screeching halt. Ballmer, while being thoroughly mediocre in a lot of ways, deserves at least some credit for not tanking MS in that era.
That's true, iPhone apps aren't like Debian packages at all. iPhone apps are self-contained, sandboxed, can only access data that I allow them to, and if I delete them, every trace of them is gone. A Debian package on the other hand first of all has to pull 57 other packages in order to even work, each of which splatters hundreds of files of all kinds all over my filesystem, and if I uninstall a package, I can rest assured that at least two dozen configuration files remain abandoned somewhere in /etc. I'm not sure how someone could confuse the two.
These worthless apps are also a cost to Apple. It is getting harder and harder to find quality apps on the App Store. The Store itself is now (a) the 'Featured' page, (b) the 'Top Ten' lists, and (c) Apple's 'Collections'. The more difficult it is to find quality apps the more difficult it will be for the ecosystem as a whole to improve.

Are there other examples of online stores with vast selections which genuinely help users find quality products? Netflix is the only one I can think of. (And don't get me started on Apple's 'Genius Recommendations'.)
There are two ways you can interpret "users" when it comes to SaaS applications: Either the "user" is the person running the SaaS server, or the "user" is the person actually using a client to connect to and use the SaaS application. If the latter, then the AGPL is unquestionably a good thing for user-freedom. If the former, then it still doesn't actually limit the freedom of "users" to "run the program, for any purpose"(or any of the 4 freedoms). It simply requires making one's source available.

It's a simple extension of the spirit of the GPL and of free software to software that is ran on the servers of someone else on behalf of the actual users of the software. The GPL has always sacrificed the freedom of creators of derivative works to distribute their derivative works under different licenses in order to protect users. The AGPL is a natural extension of this to software that isn't normally technically "distributed" to its users. The GPL fails to protect users when the code in question is used to create SaaS applications. The AGPL fixes this weakness in the GPL. It's not "RMS really compromising his principles"; it's the FSF really fixing a bug in their implementation of their principles.
Interesting, I see this completely opposite from you. I spend all day looking at a lit screen and can hardly stand the idea of settling down to read a book on way in my leisure time. E-ink isn't as good as real paper, but it is far better than a computer screen in my opinion. I wish I knew someone who reads a similar amount as I do and touts the pleasures of iPad reading, so that we could discuss it, but I don't know any such person.

"Better" does not imply good.
F.lux seems neat, and it has a really wonderful bug on the new Macbook Pro models: Every time the graphics switch between discrete and integrated, flux lowers the display's color temperature. Essentially, the already-lowered temperature gets reinterpreted as the initial daylight temperature. And then an appropriate adjustment is made to lower it even further for the evening...

Actually "I read somewhere" years ago, mainstream publication citing a then-new study, that trans-fat oil works in the body in some meaningful way 30x worse than animal fat. The details are too snore-inducing to remember. Just eat lots of vegetables and it won't matter if you eat a small bit of whatever.

An ice bath is one of the recommendations Tim Ferris gives in this* post.

A summary:

1. Consume 150-250 calories of low-glycemic index foods in small quantities (low glycemic load) prior to bed.

2. Use ice baths to provoke sleep.

3. Eating your meals at set times can be as important as sleeping on a schedule.

4. Embrace 20-minute caffeine naps and ultradian multiples.

5. Turn off preoccupation with afternoon closure and present-state training.

Would be nice if Active Directory/Windows supported something other than NTLM (which is basically MD4) hashes. Even an old GPU can make billions of guesses a second against it.
You'd probably be interested in Trammell's other projects (trmm.net has a list), including Magic Lantern, which arguably makes Canon cameras significantly more useful, and his older UAV work.
I more or less agree with everything except this points:

>2/ Xiaomi will spend some of the $1.1bn they just raised coming to the US. This will bring a strong player in the non-google android sector into the US market and legitimize a “third mobile OS” in the western world. The good news for developers is developing for non-google android is not much different than developing for google android.

The "third mobile OS" is Windows Phone and even if something else takes this spot, it's still not that great to be third.

>3/ More asian penetration into the US market will come from the messenger sector as both Line and WeChat make strong moves to gain a share of the lucrative US messenger market.

I doubt those companies will be more than marginal players in the us market next year, maybe later?

>11/ ... patients treating patients (p2p medicine) ...

This seems kind of insane!

I didn't understand the following very well, if someone can explain or point me elsewhere, I'd really appreciate it:

>8/ The horrible year that bitcoin had in 2014 will be a wakeup call for all stakeholders. Developers will turn their energy from creating the next bitcoin (all the alt stuff) to creating the stack on top of the bitcoin blockchain. Real decentralized applications will start to emerge as the platform matures and entrepreneurial energy is channeled in the right direction.

I don't see the point of bitcoin or any other virtual currency? To me nothing beats legal tender currencies.
There will be distinctly different patterns for the dates transferring in different ways. Suppose the source is a shared network drive. From share to external USB thumbdrive will have a different fingerprint than from external USB thumbdrive to single local SATA.

Also, you can likely detect what OS was used ( well Linux or Windows ) due to differences in copy order as well as speed.

In theory such analysis can be done on the Sony data and tell us something more interesting than is known so far.

I don't think there are any existing tools that analyze date stamps and determine anything quite on this level... Purely because it is rare to have such a huge such of files.
Are they juries? A lay judge is different, and given the implementation of it, it seems barely better than what they had before, since a lay judge is typically going to just defer to the professional judge most of the time, anyway.

Well for the reader, here's an interesting recent talk related to your last note: http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2014/31c3_-_6240_-_en_-_...
That glosses over all of the arguments the OP made about making a test suite that can work with all implementations of Ruby.
As cool as Ruby is as a language, the politics are very strange. As Javascript VM performance starts to become orders of magnitude faster than any Ruby VM, there is less and less reason to invest time writing code in Ruby, particularly with superb syntax options like coffee and cljs, and better and better systems level alternatives (Rust, Swift, Go, etc... )

Ruby/Sinatra used to be my favorite combo, but since Rails started going off in a weird direction (anti-js, asset pipeline, choosing AR over DM, insecure defaults pre rails 4) there has been less good stuff written in Ruby to draw from to augment Sinatra... Rails has become a rapidly changing but rarely improving API. That Ruby 2.2 breaks Rails 3.2 is just one more reason to look elsewhere.

I question why anyone would start a new project using Ruby at all. This is not a troll, I really don't think there are significant benefits anymore.
Only if you meet the conditions of years working in general, or age, and it is somehow dependent on the sector.

Naturally public sector has the most attractive numbers for years working/minimum age.
You’re saying these delivery companies are parasitic, I am saying that they are providing a valuable service at a reasonable cost, and that the real problem is that these restaurants have business models that are incompatible with takeout and delivery.

This is simply false. AMD has recently been ahead in performance/W leading to lower TDP while also being faster than Intel. Mobile AMD chips can be configured down to 10W even with 8c/16t.

Yeah, one of the reasons I just started carrying a tablet is because the battery lasted so much longer, not shorter. It's a bigger device, so it's a bigger battery.

> Wuffs is not a general purpose programming language. It is for writing libraries, not programs. The idea isn't to write your whole program in Wuffs, only the parts that are both performance-conscious and security-conscious.

Aren’t all apps (anything not one-off scripts) performance and security conscious? Being performance and security conscious seems like the rule, not the exception.
Quite a few non-free "privacy apps" just route your traffic through free, open proxies that they keep scanning. So, of course, you end up being completely exposed to snooping and injections.

Yeah, Apple definitely deserves a lot of praise on these chips. They are not even incremental improvements but drastic ones which will probably change the landscape completely.

Like AWS was working on their own ARM chips, they now have a benchmark to go against if they even can. In DCs a lot of spend is on just power consumption. If these chips can really drive compute in servers at a much lower power consumption, it is just not monetarily good for the company but good for the planet too.

> OK, lets have any country which has a financial dispute with some other country takes hostages. That would be a nice world, right? That's the world we'll be at if Iran keeps being rewarded for its behaviour.

Well, I'd have to point out, when the US told South Korea (and the rest of the world) to cut trades with Iran (or else), it was engaging in this very kind of behavior.

As a South Korean, I'd appreciate if the US and Iran could talk to each other like adults and leave my country out of this, but that's not the kind of world we're living in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The money isn't about the sort of person that would leave for $3k.

It's about people who immediately discovered they don't want to work there - but can't leave after a month because they just paid an apartment deposit, or moving costs. These people are going to spend the next 3-6months looking for work while costing you money. That's who you desperately want to get rid of on day 1.

Most companies do exactly the opposite - they hire you in Nowheresville Nev but if you leave after a month you have a big chunk of location/training/recruitment expenses to pay back.
These companies are actively forcing you to stay there - hating them - for 6/9 months while you job hunt. And they somehow think the rules boost 'retention'!
Yes. The article also shows the power of wearing Vibram FiveFingers.
Yeah, sorry, it came off snarkier than I had intended.
What gave you that impression? Moreover, what do you mean by "the freedom of speech principle"? It can mean anything ranging from "you can literally say anything you want and the government should protect you while doing so (eg. punishing companies that refuse to transmit your speech)", to "most speech, excluding a laundry list of exceptions like hate speech, copyright infringement, defamation, heresy, certain ideologies, etc."

> Except for many people having a hobby is a side job.

> Not everyone is blessed with such a wealthy life that can just seat and offer free beer to others.

I understand what you're saying in principle, but I don't believe this is the case with retrocomputing or the Amiga scene. This is an expensive hobby anyway, people who are not blessed with a relatively wealthy life do not have time for retro computing. People love retro computing because they feel passionate about it and find it intellectually or aesthetically stimulating. Nobody sets out to make a game for the Amiga, the C64 or the Speccy thinking "I know, this is where the money is!". They do it primarily out of love.

I believe the issue here is a cultural thing, really. Like someone else mentioned, the Amiga community, much like the Apple community, is used to paying for things that would be free or even libre in other tech communities. (edit: this is supported by this thread from 8 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22888726, let me quote: "In my observations (also as a relative outsider), it has been like this at least from the early 1990s. Every little itty-bitty program for the Amiga cost money.")

Back when I was a kid, Amigas were pretty expensive and few people could afford them (none of my friends could). Kids without wealthy parents didn't own Amigas.

Regardless of their motivations, my overall point still stands: pricey gadgets/software for a tiny niche hobbyist platform puts up a wall, raises the barrier to entry, and discourages newcomers -- surely not the best way to "save" it!
> IMO governments should not control the production of humans.

In general I agree. But as always there are circumstances in which action may be positive for the general good (General point, not about this article).

In fact, that can be linked to cultural differences: Does the individual trump everything else or (s)he is only part of a group? This is not black and white and different cultures move the needle differently on the dial.
I run my company in a similar way. It's myself, three employees and a bunch of contractors. ( https://asylumsquare.com/team )

We have an office, but everyone can work from where-ever he wants to (actually the freelancers are from all around the world). Since Covid hit we're operating 100% remote before most of the time we worked with 2 people in the office the rest of us remotely.

Everyone works as much or less as he wants, can take days off whenever he feels like.

We do have voice calls from time to time when it's appropriate, but in 99.9% only two people are involved and it usually happens when we have the feeling it would clarify faster as by asynchronous chat (for example when screen share is involved to demonstrate something). Actually I wouldn't even call it meetings because we mostly don't even setup a schedule, it just naturally happens (for example chatting about a specific topic, then deciding a call would be easier / faster).

It works well for us, but I think it would be a lot harder if we were more people as we don't have anyone who organizes or manages the project and the people.
