Rumprun doesn't require (or support) virtual memory, so granted enough memory (a few megabytes), it can work on embedded systems.

Rumprun currently runs on x86 and x86-64, support for RISC-V and ARM is in the making. The architecture specific code is quite small, you just need to make sure that NetBSD (and Rust) support your architecture as well.

The same author just posted about a realtime stream of comment data: https://www.reddit.com/r/datasets/comments/3mk1vg/realtime_d...
GCP would probably have been better off if the "AWS marketplace" had worked out...

E.g. instead of "GCP runs machines + offers PaaS databases/caches/etc." and "AWS runs machines + offers PaaS databases/caches/etc.", then now both the "run machines" + "PaaS offerings" must be identical, it'd be much easier if cloud providers got out of the PaaS business.

That way both GCP and AWS just "run machines", and instead there is some sort of vendor / marketplace API where database vendor X can run in both AWS and GCP, and caching vendor Y can run in both AWS and GCP.

And so you use the db APIs and the cache APIs, with some sort of service discovery within each cloud, and ideally the management UIs for the db and cache are both hooked in the GCP/AWS consoles.

So, it's not "use Dynamo in AWS" vs. "use Bigtable in GCP" and they're kinda/sorta the same, it'd be "use (say) Voldemort in both" and they really are the same, and managed by the same vendor.

(And not "you start vendor X's AMIs/images in your account and then play sysadmin", but "you use vendor Xs already-running/multi-tenant APIs from your app".)

That said, it's not in AWS's interest to let others provide the PaaS part of the machine in a generic way.

And, realistically, I don't think other (non-cloud) vendors could have successfully provided the PaaS offerings that AWS has, at the same multi-tenant scale. E.g. pre-AWS, all of the vendors (like a DB startup) were focused on "scale single-tenant solutions", and not "scale multi-tenant solutions", which is likely an order of magnitude or more harder. So it made sense for AWS to do it instead (plus the obvious benefit to them of more AWS lock in).

I agree, especially for mere mortals. However, a talented writer, like Don Stewart and a few others, can write high performance Haskell code.

The high performance part of your Haskell code might not look much like idiomatic Haskell in the end, but you can write abstractions around that. (The holy grail is high performance idiomatic code. If you befriend the compiler just right, it's possible for many problems.)

Text.Bytestring is a good example in Haskell land.
I should probably update the screencast because I have changed UI since recording it.

Mostly changing colors, but also adding few important features, like "interesting mode" which I sometimes demo in the talks[1].

"Interesting mode" hides uninteresting/confusing IR instructions and splices sources into the IR helping people to navigate it and find IR chunks that interest them.

inertia. Observers are waiting for a killer app to sway the masses. Obviously memory safety isn't a killer feature in many eyes, because they trust their abilities, would have to go all out using the unsafe environment or they don't see the benefit of one less class of bugs over other concerns. If they did any of that, they would at least be using e.g. java already - on another note I'm only waiting for rustc's first security relevant bugs to be reported, that are supposedly impossible.

It most certainly does. I have contacts in WhatsApp that I have no other contact with (nor do they with me, dont know my name etc.), yet after the first time I chat with them on WhatsApp, they are in my recommended friends on facebook. Pretty infuriating.

So NSA is now going to intercept each shipment of Blackphone cellphones to bug them like they did with network equipment?

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa-...

The problem is that who orders a Blackphone is not completely private and it is a sign that those people have something they want to hide and there isn't that many of them.

You almost need a private way of sending Blackphones so that the NSA doesn't know who is getting which phone and then if there is a enough volume of Blackphones you should be okay.

The Inefficiency of Capitalism: An Anarchist View (2003)
To your first question, the answer is yes. You could take any approved molecule and apply a new formulation and get exclusivity on it. There are many companies that are trying to do just that.

Of course, your new formulation actually has to add some value (1 tablet per day instead of 1 table three times per day).

To your second point, the Mucinex example is "taking an old drug with no clinical data and getting them back into the mainstream". The difference is that instead of it just being the active ingredient, it's a time released version of the active ingredient. Prior to Mucinex being approved, there were unapproved versions of long-acting guifenesin out on the market.

You're right it's not exactly the same as "no one has tested this drug at all", but rather "no one has tested this formulation of this drug".

You just need to remember that in terms of decoding and encoding complexity, VP9 is in the same range as H.265, not H.264.

You might as well compare MPEG-4 Part 2 codecs (known under names like DivX, Xvid or whatnot) with H.264.
With WebAssembly and related efforts (e.g. JS threading), I'm hoping it won't be long before we have services similar to this, but actually running in the browser rather than the cloud. A bit like that i386-in-browser demo, but with performance a decent fraction of native, OpenGL access, etc.

I like this. You would have to use gift cards in store to dispose of the cash, and even at $100 gift cards, you'd be looking at 236,987 cards to purchase before you can buy the book.

The best? Amazon takes a 30% cut and then the government (here in the US) takes another 28% for income tax, 12.4% for SSN, and 2.9% for Medicare. You get less than half your cash into clean money.

Interesting offering. I assume it runs on the server, with some kind of remote desktop (VNC or similar)?

Back in 2000 I was involved in a start-up company doing that [1]. It failed because it was ahead of its time -- very few people had broadband, and the numbers didn't really add up, when you think about the cost of hosting the servers. (That's what we like to tell ourselves -- maybe it was also a terrible idea!)
