hmmm.

I used to only buy AMD.
Im not exactly sure where they are up to now (probably about 8 years if not more since I touched them)

but i definately remember the bulldozer hype and subsequent flop. lies about the number of cores and other things that just made me say "my computing is to important to my life to play that game".

I was also privy over the years to some test builds of machines including head to head amd vs intel. it is truly painful to say that not only were they often more expensive (new) for the performance, they were also horribly unreliable, pausing, and doing all sorts of stuff that made us sad.

hope thats changed, but saying there is any similarity between the current in use intel vs amd range is very far from the mark.
Probably positions stemming from the Botvinnik variation of the Semi-slav. Conventional chess wisdom doesn't really help, and figuring a way forward is pure calculation.

Then also, maybe lines of the "Irrational system" of the French Defence, Winawer variation (lines of Qg4, and Black sacrificing both g7 and h7 pawns).

Playing with nuances about what "complicated" means, perhaps also Nimzowitsch's "Immortal Zugzwang" game, where White is absolutely helpless on an almost full board of pieces.
Yes. I'm thinking about using it for conditionally rendered stuff.

This is a great introduction indeed, so thanks a lot for the heads-up! I am not investigating with the intent of building such a game, I am just curious about the intersections of design, economy and psychology in this particular context. I am going to navigate through Gamasutra with this in mind, but do you know if there are any formal academic/industrial references which you might point me to or is everyone moving forward in an empirical fashion?
To put some numbers on this, `cryptsetup benchmark` on my Linux notebook reports 1329 MiB/s encryption speed and 1346 MiB/s decryption speed for 256-bit AES in XTS mode (which is the default stream cipher for Linux's LUKS disk encryption). And that's on a 2012 Core i3.

If a modern CPU has AES-NI, I would never expect disk access speed to be constrained by the disk encryption. (Unless, maybe, if you're copying from one internal disk to the other, or if you're copying across a 10gig ethernet.)
Why not 8-)

Political change is hard because our leaders aren't interested in our well-being, which is blindingly obvious if you look at the kind of legislation they're passing.

A recent example is the so-called "Snooper's Charter": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Act_2016

You could discuss the technicalities or nuances involved, but what is that, really, besides a big "fuck you" to the peasant population, and yet another step towards a full-blown police state?

When "We the People" want "political change", it's not that kind of change. But that's what we're getting, despite the fact that our dear leaders know full well we don't want it.

So what are we to do? Wait for the next election to vote the bums out, to replace them with the umpteenth set of new bums?

You know something is fundamentally wrong with "the system" when we have roughly two choices in practical terms:

1) Wait for a (global) police state to engulf us all.
2) Forcefully resist somehow.

> This is prone to a DoS attack.

When will we see the first organization (government or private) that is effectively completely DoS'ed for days on end because their login does this, while all their email addresses are listed on their website? If sustained, I imagine this could shut down an entire organization quite effectively for a few days. Probably could lose someone millions. Or add insult to injury, and have them pay BTC for the attack to stop.

I have a Vive. I've used it maybe 5 times in a month. I get a bit nauseous (but not too bad, i'm very sensitive), and you kind of sweaty after a while (not because of physical labour), but those aren't really obstacles for me. It's a great product and there are some truly cool experiences there, but my main gripe is just powering everything up, unbundling cables, and putting everything on. In my case also moving a couple of chairs out of my play area.

I imagine future AR tech to be better in this regard, when you can adapt to whatever your interior looks like, and when you go wireless.

Though just getting that new wireless addon for Vive and attaching easier headphones (Rift has the edge there) would reduce the threshold for "just play for a bit".

This is why I'm a big fan of the U2F standard, which allows a device (generally a small USB/NFC device) to generate shared secrets for arbitrary services without exposing any personal information.
Support for multi-processor systems would be very awesome.
That's not always true.

For example, imagine if someone compromises one of your backups. Some hard drives were stolen from the office or something. In there you had your password written in a text file ( because you're that kind of person). The attacker still doesn't have access to your computer. But they do have access to your password from the time of backup.

A disgruntled employee remembers the password of a former coworker. At one point the password will change, so the window of opportunity is smaller.

It's not perfect, obviously, but in a lot of office environments passwords are easy to gleam.

Another argument for password rotation: it usually forces people to keep different passwords per service. Without rotation, people tend to use the same password for everything

There's a trade-off, but it doesn't accomplish nothing
Yeah I was just adding to the point of my parent, who focused on the decision making part.
Why is why password rolling is then based on an alphabetical roll, or pure numerical increment, or month and year. No real entropy gain!
Visual scripting is nice in that you can have a seperate presentation layer on top of the language syntax. There's a lot of potential in improved readability that way I think. Most visual scripting depends on mouse actions, which is kind of slow and I suspect a big reason why programmers dislike it so much.

Designed by Microsoft?! Where did that come from? I know Microsoft is also a member of the AOMedia but as far as I know Google, Mozilla, and Cisco made the biggest contributions with their VP10, Daala, and Thor codecs. Also, isn't AV1 mostly VP10?

Are you confusing it with AVI? (by the way, one of the reasons why the AV1 name is stupid - Daala or Thor would work much better. Or even VP10 as a continuation of VP9, which has already gained significant support).

Tangent, but why is it inaccurate that C is described as "portable assembler" ?

That's a bit of an exaggeration, at worst -- yes, C is a bit more high-level than a typical assembly language, but most C constructs can be mapped to a typical processor's assembly language in an obvious way, something that isn't true of any other language I know of.

your reply makes me believe you've never migrated database solutions for larger projects, especially ones where you're trying to actually make money and spend little time.

Migrating database solutions is really quite expensive in terms of time. I've done it twice and it's not something to take lightly. The usual recommendation is to never migrate database solutions unless there is a catastrophic problem with continuing with the current.

It really doesn't matter, the compiler will generate the same code (gcc -S at least does generate the same assembler output for both pieces of code; see: https://gist.github.com/reidrac/afb89b29228a243954bd51281c39...).

I guess looking at the definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value#Real_numbers I would say `( j >= 0 ) ? j : -j` is more accurate, although in practical terms is the same result.

What are your thoughts on various business models?

The traditional "sell once, offer paid upgrades" seems to be better suited for apps with a stable feature set, where you can take a year or two to produce the next major version. However, a more iterative approach to development doesn't work with this model very well.

The recently popular switch to subscriptions (Adobe, Office, 1Password, Jetbrains, YNAB, etc), while obviously every developer's wet dream, may not sit very well with customers, at least if there's no obvious service being offered (like e.g. Dropbox).
