Julia has been designed for single core performance fullstop. Functional collections may work well with a state of the art GC, with Julia's not so much. The fact that Julia can interop seemlessly with C code (easily) kind of bounds the design of the GC.

I think it is a little disingenuous to say that a Julia programmer does not have to worry about types. Type inference alleviates many burdens, but correct typing of arguments is essential (and hidden promotions or casting can kill performance). So while you can write correct programs easily, for efficient programs you end up worrying about this quite a lot.
You could use cool-retro-term[0] for the visual side, but that doesn't support baud rate emulation either. Maybe you could pipe things through `pv` with the `-L` flag to limit speed?

Flash is a security nightmare. It's a 3rd party application that opens up the device up directly into the OS if compromised. Jobs blocked it because it would make iPhone vulnerable to attacks they couldn't control. I don't blame him for blocking it honestly, even though it meant we had totally change tech stacks.
The article is directed at the hpc/server market. Xeons have had 40 pcie lanes each for long time. Pcie bandwidth on desktops is only a problem for a very small number of people.

China has Generation IV pebble bed reactors coming online this year that are smaller (210 MWe) [1]. They would be the world's first Gen IV reactors in production. Would be interesting to see how that goes.

Kubernetes Turns Two: A Look at the Numbers from This Past Year
A "well organized" psychopath won't treat the waiter like shit, because it doesn't get him anything, whereas being polite and seemingly forgiving around people (like you) whom he wants to think well of him does get him what he wants.

Meanwhile he'll be playing the long con with you - manipulation and mind games that can be incredibly subtle. I had the misfortune of working with one of those for a few months - we almost became co-founders. Recognizing and getting out of that situation before I got in any deeper was one of the smartest moves I've ever made.

Actual content creators have a much different perception of flash than IT administrators, chinstroking tech bloggers and the inventor of Javascript.
Well, this certainly puts things into perspective. It's pretty amazing how many people died just from lack of knowledge of either the nature of, or remedy to, their illness.
Most of the people who drive for Uber use privately owned cars, do they not? It seems like any restriction would hinder them. In my city, only registered cabs are allowed on the streets of the main shopping areas.

"making it harder for shoppers to access stores"

The density of people walking or on bike is much higher than in a car. Fewer required parking spaces means it's easier to walk from store to store. Remember, most parking lots are empty because they are designed for the busy time of the year. Most parking requirements are per-building, not per-area, so there's even more wasted space.

That wasted space raises rents for brick and mortar stores in a way that online retailers don't have to worry about.

"businesses are forced to actively police their parking areas against use by non-customers"

Nonsense. Get rid of the parking requirement and those businesses which don't want to police their parking areas simply won't have a parking area. While if there's really demand, parking lots and parking garages are a way to shift the costs to those who do want to police their parking arenas.

"while living in American cities which are entirely designed to require car travel"

That is true. But the cities can't change if the current parking restrictions stay. Let the market decide who pays - not some central planning committee.

As often pops up here, The Netherlands up until the 1970s was also increasingly designed around cars. With deliberate effort, and over time, that's changed. "Nijmegen’s center city wasn’t always car-free—cue grainy footage of midcentury sedans cruising past charming steepled rooftops. “The main square used to be a parking lot,” Sjors Van Duren, the program director of Velo-City, tells Clarence Eckerson, the film’s director. But since the 1970s, the city has replaced the downtown’s auto-centric streets with pedestrian pathways and bike lanes." - https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/07/it-takes-more...
Similarly, Visual Basic. Has anything since allowed non-programmers to build a GUI as easily as that? Just drag and drop, then double click the button and follow the on-screen prompts to glue it all together. It gets a lot of shit from real developers, but what can match it?

> Indeed, lets condemn everyone who creates easy to use and powerful tools!

Easy to use, powerful and proprietary. As a consumer, flash sites were often horrible. Get a few minutes into using it, find out that there's a bug keeping you from advancing any farther in exploration and your task, so you need to reload. Oh good, you have to start from scratch again because it's not actually using URLs to keep track of your location. Want to know how to find a manual on a manufacturer's site? Oh, good, they used flash, so their site isn't indexed correctly by any search engines, and you have to navigate their poor idea of what made a good UI in 1995.

Flash was good for media delivery. For everything else, it just broke how the web was expected to work.
Almost like it was the work of clever amateurs
instead of actual professionals.

I liked that era too! Not Mac games in particular; just the era when everything wasn't so same-y. Everything felt almost like outsider art. Created by small teams on small budgets so they were free to experiment!

But, I think we've returned to that level of creativity. Computers are powerful enough that neat games can be coded in high-level languages, so we don't need assembly-language savants to make something that runs well. =)

I haven't played games on my computer in a long while.
What are some of the good indie-style 2D games now?

There's been a resurgence of Rogue-likes, many of which use a twin stick control scheme so you can move in one direction and shoot in another. I put a lot of hours into Enter the Gungeon.

There's Cave Story, ten years old at this point, but a loving and amazing (and cute) tribute to the Metroidvania genre. The original was created by a single person, and there have been some graphically updated versions.

Those are two I've personally put a lot of time into. There are tons more on Steam, PSN, Xbox Live, and Nintendo's eShop...

Stardew Valley and Darkest Dungeon are two I have my eyes on to play next. Honestly when I need a new game I usually just google "best indie games of 2015" or "best indie games of 2016" hahaha.

The recommendation engines on Steam and the other online services are actually pretty good too. I would never buy a game just because Steam recommended it, but when they recommended something to me, it's usually worth Googling for reviews and videos of it.
Latency is why I could never use a WYSIWYG word processor. While I don't like VI that much, it's latency is low enough that it's not a problem. i.e. I press a key, and miracle of miracles, the character appears on the screen.

Using a WYSIWYG word processor, there's enough latency between keypress and visual update that I find them impossible to use.

When Apple came out with Pages, it was apparent that they paid strong attention to latency. That means the latency is small enough that (for me) using it isn't an exercise in frustration.

1) Yes. I still have connection with that former intern.

No, it should have been e-mailed + posted on the wall. No chance of missing it. 3) I don't care about $100,000.00. Not worth a lawsuit. And it is extremely easy to see 50% dilution and its effect.

I have a feeling that if Adobe would publish detailed Flash file format specs when Flash started to decline, there would have been separate player implementations and Flash might still be alive today.

Of course, this also means alternative editor implementations, and this decreases business value. This is also a lot of work. And at some point, it became too late -- if format would be published today, very few people would care. So I am not surprised Adobe decided to let the Flash die, rather than open it.
I can't see how it would. The GPU has to be accessed either way, so doing it directly should be the same or better than through an OSX API.
Well, before Flash was around, there was HyperCard (and in fact ActionScript is derived from HyperTalk, the scripting language used in HyperCard).
If you're not familiar, definitely take a look.
It's also somewhat of a precursor to the WWW :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard

Combo of poor performance and battery usage.

I'm sure the unstated reasons included that it generally made for poor UX across the web.
As a counterargument, look at the state of the web today without Flash. Many websites are still bloated, still slow to load, still hijack the back button, still mess with copy and paste, still force same-window-only opening. So was Flash really the issue?
I worked with them just three months ago and had a fantastic experience.

>I feel like if it were as easy as a 10x10 mile plot of solar panels to power the entire US, some enterprising disruptor would have done it already. Think of the revenue from powering the entire US...

Solar is expanding rapidly, and it will do so more rapidly as it gets cheaper. And wind is advancing rapidly too.

And remember, the article is about fusion electricity not starting up for another 30 years. By then, as my original comment said, it will be mostly or all renewables, and so there will be no way to persuade countries to spend trillions on fusion.
I did pretty well for myself building galleries and interactives in Flash and Actionscript; it was not just a good learning experience, but a more stress-free implementation compared to getting JavaScript to work cross-browser. I was still doing AS work into 2009. For me, it wasn't the inevitable obsolescence from iOS that caused me to quit, but an Edward Tufte seminar in which I saw that static visualization could be just as compelling as interactive ones, and a lot easier for end users to figure out.

We can easily get to ten times. And we have no need for a hundred.

DDR has a much higher bandwidth than this. The old V4 Xeons could get close to 100 GBps, and the new skylakes out now have a 50% increase by going to six channels. On top of that, Intel has a feature where the packets coming off the wire are stored in cache first, so you could see much higher packet processing performance, depending on the type of application.

It doesn't look like the architecture in this paper supports pervasive speculation, which the Mill can via its "Not-a-Result" (NAR) bits on each data element. Vectors on the Mill have such a bit both for the entire vector, and for each element within the vector, which (along with other novelties) is supposed to help both with vectorizing and software pipelining code that can't be on conventional architectures. Ivan emphasizes in the videos that these features are what make the Mill capable of high ILP, which is why they go very wide (33 on "gold").
Ironically, it doesn't (and can't) support Python 2 print statements.

I really don't see the point.

If you don't need cross platform the best choice is native so you can leverage all the platform goodies.

If you do need cross platform and have the budget you will go with 2 native projects.

If you don't have enough budget for 2 native apps you have a few options.

Cordova is good enough for a lot of apps. Even Apple uses Webviews in its own apps. Also check the Missive mail client all built with web technologies:

https://medium.com/missive-app/our-dirty-little-secret-cross...

We are building a universal app that will work on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Chrome OS with a single code base.

If you need better performance you can always use React Native, NativeScript, or Xamarin.

Why go with this Fuse thing?
UPDATE: After apt-get update, now js assets are returning 404.... I should have resisted and save a few hours of googling.
There's an app on mac called "hype" that does a decent job with layout, animation, and basic interactivity in HTML5, but I agree we need good WYSIWYG tools.

That being said, Flash definitely had a learning curve that wasn't entirely trivial. So much of the javascript community seems focused on using JS for the really big applications and large scale stuff these days, but I think it'd be nice if innovation were happening in accessibility and tooling for light programmers.

Light programmers is my idea of people who want to build basic functionality but not huge applications and may not be formally trained or have any experience programming, like how small and medium businesses used Flash for cheesy website animation back in the day.

There's a lot of overhead knowledge needed to create in HTML/CSS/JS, and a lot of the beginner tutorials feel like they assume you're intending to become a web dev.

There's more tooling and better libraries for JS today than ever before, but these things are hard for beginners. Stuff like webpack is great but it seems like the focus is in that space.

You could argue that the high complexity large application space is where the focus needs to be, and where js is at its weakest, but I can't help but feel like we could do better. The best thing (imo) for beginners using JS (who don't intend to continue learning to become a developer) is JQuery. Yeah people abuse it but it does simplify basic animation stuff for inexperienced developers.

End rant I guess?
Yeah, its great when no one can index the content, no one with disabilities can see the content, the UI follows no conventions, sounds blares at you for you to slap the monkey, and is a huge security hole!

I get where you are coming from, but being snide when supporting something that was misused so badly is a bit one sided.

Excel is great and has enabled millions of people to accomplish things that expensive coders were previously needed for (and that was a net good) but when misused these things can cause terrible problems[0].

Qt programming is done in C++ or Python and it includes everything required inside the distributed app package. It's also easily skinned to look very close to native UIs (see VLC).

I've never used both of these languages and wrote only simple things in JS but I would spend a week learning Python syntax and Qt features to deliver a better UX and performance for a cross-platform app.
Also, Jobs probably realized flash apps could circumvent his app store model.
Absolutely. There were definitely multiple problems beyond the one I mentioned with security. But I would argue the one you mention is a problem with most complex software connected to the internet. I mean, they did what they could, they'd release patches. You could argue that it's similar to what proprietary browser vendors would have to do if they were exploited.
I blame unnecessary frameworks and engineering exercises for the bloat. In no other country, is software IT so big. So much technology for technology sake.

"We postulate that the original study produced good results because it evaluated the new scheduler in a machine whose performance bottleneck lay outside the execution core. The problems introduced by the steering logic were, as a result, hidden."

Any new microarchitecture needs to first answer that big question -- how is the core going to deal with memory?
> The claim was that Twilio was "mostly anonymous", which isn't true.

If you accept that anonymity isn't a purely true/false proposition, which you are doing by using the word "mostly," having your identity only available to law enforcement after a court order has been issued seems like a textbook instance of "mostly anonymous."
The point is we don't necessarily know, or know to the degree of certainty the FDA requires, how many of these things degrade. Perhaps in certain conditions, they degrade at one rate, but in other conditions (such as a temperature difference), they degrade at a different rate. Testing how drugs perform years after production in multiple different scenarios is necessarily time consuming, because it takes at least that much time to be sure.
An easy way to figure this out is to add `set -x` to .bash_profile or its equivalent.
Start up time isn't that bad for the jvm itself. A small clojure app starts up in no time. Java itself has a large library that is included in every application now. Jigsaw should alleviate this though.

I would also add as an aside is that most production Java applications are rather large, with several large dependencies.
I don't remember the flash permissions model being problematic. I saw two main problems with flash:

- it was a lightweight and compatible way to insert animated ads. The animation consumed a lot of CPU. This is why most people blocked flash, and why most Apple refused to support it on ipads.

- it had horrible security record. For some reason, Adobe could not fix the bugs in the Flash plugin. This is why IT departments started to block it.

For more details, see this very interesing Steve Job's letter why Flash would never run on i-devices: https://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ (note it does not even mention sandboxing model)

Aside from security issues others have mentioned, Early iPhones employed HTML5 as the only 3rd party app API: no flash, no java, not even native Objective C apps. The only reason Apple opened up the Cocoa API to 3rd party developers was because HTML at that time was insufficient for powerful offline experiences (only recently has tools like services workers made deploying offline apps via browser HTML possible). Many would argue Apple's exclusive embrace of modern HTML on its phone was pretty helpful in ensuring HTML5's success accross all platforms.
