I predict that technology is not going to move that fast as it used to (moore's law etc). Instead we will go back to the age of "durable" / "longer lasting goods". A good software will make a difference between scoring a sale or not. Same with services.

Besides most of the companies are trying to move the manufacturing to Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Africa etc or automatizing as much as possible.
Um. Wat? Is this some sort of screen sharing thing? Sharing web pages?!?
I think that this is a poetic eulogy for JFK written by the person who delivered it (Mike Mansfield). I don't think it was intended to be a reference to a previously-published poem.

The wedding ring thing is a reference to something that Jacqueline Kennedy literally did (not a metaphor or a predetermined ritual).
Fulda Gap maybe?

Yes Fulda gap. I mis-membered it. (It was a JROTC class in the 80's!)
the reason why I prefer to use a cdn is because it is a games theory example come to life here - if everyone used the cdn version then any user coming to your site would most likely have the cdn version in their cache and thus performance would go up, but if you use the cdn version and your competitors don't their performance is slightly better than yours and so on and so forth. Games theory indicates that in most games of this sort cooperation is better than non-cooperation.

And really if you are using one of the major libraries and a major CDN (Google, JQuery, etc.) over time your users will end up having the stuff in the cache, either from you or from others having used the same library version and cdn.

I suppose someone has done a study on CDN spreading of libraries and CDNS among users, so that you could figure out what the chance is that a user coming to your site will have a specific library cached - there's this http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2013/03/18/http-archive-jqu... but it is 3 years ago, really this information would need to be maintained at least annually to tell you what your top cdn would be for a library.
I was just talking this week to one of the guys on the original chrome team. He told me in the beginning they were obsessed with speed -- there was a benchmark in place for time to load from cold boot that wasn't allowed to go up (80ms). So if you wanted to do a new feature you had to jump through hoops to make sure it didn't slow anything down.

Eventually chrome became mainstream, Google started advertising it on their homepage, and features started becoming a priority over speed. At some point the benchmark test case for load time broke and no one fixed it, and things started to slide.

I'm hoping servo provides the necessary investment and juice to restore Firefox to a good browser again (after many, many years).
I think he has a point, but do we really have better alternatives?

Soon enough computers will be able to check every possibility for passwords as big as we can remember them. With good algorithms predicting what is likely to be a valid password, maybe they already can.

Even though I agree fingerprints aren't a good solution, passwords aren't either. Any ideas?

Maybe we could have some kind of card that would have big keys stored on it.

tldr:

Walgreens appears to have taken a cautious approach toward terminating the relationship, perhaps preferring to wait until federal regulators impose penalties or the criminal investigation yields formal charges, either of which would strengthen Walgreens’s hand.

The fact that "strong typing" has no universal definition is exactly why I think it's not useful.
It's a really interesting idea.

A few years ago when my anxiety, depression and agoraphobia peaked one of the things that terrified me about talking about it to anyone was the way I'd managed to "logically rationalise" it to myself - I was literally scared of infecting friends with my ideas because even though a part of me knew it was stupid and broken beliefs, I was still capable of entirely justifying them. The fact I'm usually a strong minded person who's good at talking people round to my way of thinking only made this idea more troubling.

My assumption is if they had enough Prime members buying these exclusive titles they could probably just sell at cost from day 1, therefore driving more traffic to their website.

I was so glad when Valve finally let you set your Steam Inventory to private (or friends only), as for a while I got a random friend invite or message from a stranger wanting me to give them my TF2 hats.

The best part of that was how many of them wanted me to just give them my hats rather than trade anything for it, given my somewhat low playing stats I guess they assumed I was dumb enough not to realize the trading value of one hat in particular (which I actually do wear when I randomly play TF2, so hah). So many "Hey, I see you haven't played TF2 in a while. I like your hats, would you give them to me as I play TF2 a lot and want to look cool" messages...

Again, glad that my Steam Inventory is now private and I don't see that any more.

This article states that the systems related to SWIFT transfers were supposed to be on an isolated network, but were not. Specifically that cheap unmanaged switches were used rather than expensive managed switches that would have allowed network isolation. Of course anyone who understands network security would point out that to rely on switch-based isolation alone is too risky. Switches can be compromised and mis-configured and sometimes don't provide the expected level of isolation even when correctly configured.

Exactly; binary compatibility is a hard issue, and it's especially non-viable in systems with no awesome unified package managers a la Linux.

Case in point: despite an ARM processor, running conventional desktop programs on a Raspberry Pi is mostly fine (barring performance issues). Yes, all operating systems' build stack can emit ARM binaries, but it's useless unless the developer supports it well (not gonna happen), or if there is really nice automation (like Debian).

edit: unless you're trying to say that the binary compatibility wasn't a pain in the butt. they solved it by (IIRC, not a long time OS X user), by bundling two arch binaries together for a bit. Not viable if you have 10 different architectures.

The solar panels are effectively free, because they will pay for themselves in energy savings long before the building owners have paid off their mortgage/recouped their investment.

TBH, I used to hate Firefox's performance, because even loading Facebook froze the entire browser for several msecs (enough to be perceptible), but recently I turned e10s[1] on and the browser feels almost as responsive as Chrome now.

I knew of a company that was testing Tilera for 4G basestation/RNC equipment, not sure if that ever panned out(I think they use Cavium + FPGAs now :P). I think Tilera is basically dead as a standalone product now after all the acquisitions, they'll probably be folded into Mellanox's interconnect acceleration wasteland and never be heard of again.
Short of building/installing your own router how can a highly sensitive business protect themselves from things like this? Obviously you don't want to be running random vulnerable hardware that is never updated. But what else?

I was thinking about having multiple layers (security loves onions!) with interchangeably components that you roll over at random. That way any given attack vector at one point might be mitigated by a different interface below it. Literally unplugging and plugging things in to shake things up.

It started as a very simple green-parallelism library (spawn/sync/for), but it looks like it has been expanded to include an array syntax for c (a[:] = sqrt(b[:])*c[:])), which will automatically vectorize if possible. It also has`#pragma simd` to hint to the compiler that you want a code block to be vectorized, even if the compiler would otherwise not.

There's something about 'hyper objects' too which sound like race-condition safe objects for doing things like reductions.

Thinking that the BSDs have been left behind is to erroneously presume that the BSDs ran System 5 rc in the first place. They did not.

More of the latter, from what I've skimmed at least.

Cilk was a language originally developed for parallelism by MIT, they developed a Cilk Plus revision, and it later adopted by Intel as Cilk++ (where they added more functionality and a few keywords). This is basically an OSS implementation of the language without all the "good stuff" that comes with the Intel Compiler. You get green threads (fibers in Intel's lexicon), an acceptable malloc which is swapped in thought appropriate, real threading (which marks off critical sections in the conventional fashion) as necessary, and the ability to use spawn/async (a conventional barrier-wait thinger).

They say "SIMD[check]" so in theory there are all of those AVX512 with the SIMD stuff (xmm0,16..ymm0-32? It's been a while since I've looked at the ISA) in here but I went through the code briefly and saw no reference to utilization of those registers. This page is really doing a real disservice to the language because where it really shines is in the tooling that integrates with the language. The Parallel Suite XE (priced around Visual Studio) lets you get some crazy-granular stuff for traditional number--crunching that GCC and LLVM doesn't produce (effectively leaving those registers unused). With ICC, to state the obvious, you get that functionality, as well as all the fantastic cluster analysis stuff. (n.b. VS with TPL does a not-too-bad-job at utilizing the AVX(edit: put in "AVR" originally ugh haha) subset of the ISA.)

edit: https://bitbucket.org/intelcilkruntime/intel-cilk-runtime/sr... Yeah.. not too much processor specific stuff. In that dir, a few files showed the impl details of their threads which was just a conventional mov $1, rax; mov $2,rbx, blah blah. Nothing special. There are references to the 'special sauce' (vla references) left in the code from "if __INTEL__COMPILER__" macros, so I'm guessing it's just a copy-paste. Shame, it's a great language/toolset.
