It's not just the article title. Follow the two footnotes in the "History" section of that article, to the press releases from AMD announcing the new ISA. They consistently call it "AMD x86-64" or "AMD's x86-64" or just "x86-64". The oldest snapshot I could find of the x86-64 web site (https://web.archive.org/web/20000817014037/http://www.x86-64...) also calls it x86-64. The most recent snapshot of that site, however, calls it AMD64; it seems to have changed sometime in the middle of April 2003.

That is, both x86-64 and AMD64 are historically accurate (2003 was early enough in the ISA's lifetime), but x86-64 is the earlier name.
I have been working on Snow, a unit testing library for C.

OP requires a unit testing library for C, so they've written one. What is the alternative solution you propose? The framework itself may appear complex, but the entire end goal here is to provide simple/abstract tools to write tests in a readable/self-documenting manner. The framework itself is the mean, not the end goal.
Wow. I guess you really became a slave to this tool. Do you remember a few years back none of us were using one :)
I'm actually kind of impressed by this bit:

> What if we could build a product that helped us be more in-the-moment with the people we care about? What if we could actually be in the photos, instead of always behind the camera? What if we could go back in time and take the photographs we would have taken, without having had to stop, take out a phone, swipe open the camera, compose the shot, and disrupt the moment? And, what if we could have a photographer by our side to capture more of those authentic and genuine moments of life, such as my child’s real smile? Those moments which often feel impossible to capture even if one is always behind the camera. That’s what we set out to build.

They are really taking the growing worries around ubiquitous smartphone usage and try to spin them into an argument for having your whole life constantly recorded by a camera.

That's some next-level PR skills right there.

computer science defines some theories about how things should be...

The actual science are the tests we write to find out how an API / etc actually works.

Eg. Computer science says Spectre / meltdown don’t happen because the x86 spec says it doesn’t happen, however by practicing computer science we found out that it actually does happen.
It’s mutually beneficial. It saves you time/money on driving, and saves the company on overhead (office equipment, electricity, office space, etc).
We have a similar setup for our telematics data (insurance company). It’s stored in files which contain DEFLATE’d BSON. Similarly, we have a custom GUI for viewing it, but do also have some terminal tools which can be used.

The solution to larger processing simply seems to be loading the files and batching them through whatever processing we want and storing the output in a proper database - which can then be queried instantly.

For a lot of time series data, this does seem like a pretty decent approach.
Google's main business is ads, not Search, but even then Google still owns YouTube, Gmail and other things that are used by people every single day. On top of that they haven't been particularity neutral as far as politics are concerned and have even changed search for political reasons (fighting "fake news"). So yes, Google is definitely an influencer just like Facebook is.

> There are new decentralized protocols being launched every ~day now

That may be true, but why does it matter if there's no adoption? As the guy you replied to pointed out, there's no incentive to use a decentralized system for the average user as it's more inefficient and slower by design.

I'm not saying that I'm not interested in decentralized systems, I'm simply arguing that there's no incentive to use them except for a few people whose interest in privacy is very high.

From reading all of your comments here, it occurs to me that you might just not be talking about the kind of software that involves actually processing user data as the service. When customer data is incidental to the core engineering work, then yes you should be able to abstract it away. When the service is "upload your data and we will perform analysis on it and give you results", then it really does require that data to figure out why this customer says their results aren't making sense.

Android breaking Windows' monopoly on operating systems. It did so largely by eclipsing the desktop computer by facilitating the creation of a new mode of personal computing.

One could argue that TCP/IP and web standards like HTTP and HTML similarly made the desktop and its associated software (operating system, productivity suites, etc) less relevant, by increasing the ability of desktop users to access computing resources served by machines running different operating systems (e.g. a Linux server).
Scala is a lot simpler than Kotlin once you get into the details - it uses a few simple but very general features rather than a lot of ad-hoc language-level functionality. A lot of the time what looks like some complex construct in Scala is actually two or three separate features combining in a way that makes perfect sense once you look at the pieces, and you can click through to see how the thing is implemented in plain Scala. (Indeed I'd say Kotlin is far more perl-like - its design deliberately emphasises immediate developer convenience at the expense of having a coherent underlying model)
It abstracts away roads by using a graph as input (in the general case). In the post the author tackles the Euclidean TSP, where points are given by coordinates and you can freely travel.

"If you aren’t aligned with a human need, you’re just going to build a very powerful system to address a very small — or perhaps nonexistent — problem."

I'm guessing a desire to avoid advertising or a certain corporation's tracking and holding data on me and my family isn't going to be deemed a sufficient human need :P

Additionally, like Facebook, I have no choice because even if I opt out (which I can't do without already opting in), someone else out there taking video and photos and including me opts me in regardless of my feelings.

And yet, apparently cameras and video analysis with the convenient side effect of tracking and identifying me and my loved ones to produce even more Facebook-wall worthy images is a human need.

A cynic (realist) might observe these principals aren't enough to stop one working on a very powerful but non-existent problem that not only doesn't meet the real human need, but might actually be, in overall summation, detrimental :(
Have you ever wondered if they just want you to have a different experience? There are restaurants that require you to eat in pitch black, restaurants where you cant wear sandals, there are shows where you get polaroid cameras and so on.

Speaking specifically to the urban scourge of check paying places, I wonder if there would be space for a paycheck cashing place that kept half of those 20%+and set it in a small interest bearng account, and they'd have a vesting schedule before they should remove their savings (and percent incentives for them to stay, since the bigger the pot, the more rewards all around).

I think this might be an industry that could help mitigate some social ills, not just prolong or exacerbate them.

Are there any good gaps in my view that I'm not seeing?

> Win for the Bears

They just mean that the people who made money were the people who shorted the future i.e. who were expecting the price to drop over the term of the future. So those with a bearish outlook for Bitcoin made money.

They're not making any particular claim about the effect of the future on the spot price. At least, that's not what they mean by a "Win for the Bears".

In theory, the futures close price shouldn't have any effect on the spot price if the market is reasonably efficient. My understanding from the relevant CBOE announcements is that they didn't see anything fishy.

That's not to say it can't though. Price manipulation around closes does happen in other derivatives markets and the relevant authorities monitor for it. There's more incentive in options markets which doesn't apply here yet.

I don't necessarily agree with op, but you rarely see cyclists with helmets in amsterdam and other dutch cities where a lot of people use cycling as their default transportation method, and where as a cyclist you have a priority over car drivers, whereas in places like berlin you have much more cyclists wearing helmets, and rightly so. Though I have to say that I myself only wore the helmet while working as a bike messenger, and rarely while not. So obviously on a day where I'll be biking for 6-8 hours I'm more likely to get into an accident, helmet or not.
Then you don't go to the show.

These technologies broke up arguably worse monopolies, over information (Google democraticizing access to information) and media (Facebook and other social media companies breaking the hold that mass media had over people's opinions by giving them an avenue to directly communicate).

I think people forget how bad the mass media situation was. We had a handful of companies disseminate one way broadcasting to the entire population. The audience were passive viewers whose choices in programming were extremely limited, and who had very little ability to participate in the creation and curation of the media content.

So I don't think it's clear that the market, left to its own devices, doesn't evolve toward the direction of greater personal autonomy and empowerment, and it's certainly not clear that it doesn't have the potential to.

>>Monopoly is a natural end-goal of a company, and it's the usual job of governments to prevent companies from achieving that goal.

Bottom up switch over to open source is a viable market solution to market monopolies. If Android or Linux become the market standard in OSs for example, that is not a proprietary monopoly that gives one group control over the OS.

Sean, you don't know this but for quite a while now I've been amazed about your work responding to everybody complaining about Webpack on the internet, anywhere. There's absolutely no requirement for you to be so nice to users and yet, here you are again. Hats off, you're making the world a little bit prettier.

This time I'm the one complaining, and I must admit that I'm curious about the exact wording of that question about release time frames. If you asked "how often do you want to make config changes just so you can update Webpack to the latest version", I bet many people would answer "never" instead of "6 months" :-)

But hey, we established that we have different ideas about what the compat sweet spot is and you and yours are the one doing all the selfless work and I'm the guy complaining on the internet, so take everything I say with a bag of salt.

All that said, any chance you could make a teeny tiny little link from the Webpack 1 "THESE DOCS ARE GONE" pages to http://devdocs.io/webpack~1/ or some place like that? There are people who inherit old codebases and it would be very nice for them to not _have_ to update Webpack just to find answers to their problems.
i may hold a minority opinion here but i love pocket and use the new tab suggestions a lot when reading on my commute for example.

I've cycled both Australia and UK and I would say I cycle the same with and without helmet. In Australia I would be really nervous cycling without because there is such a strong culture to wearing and the enforcement of the law. In the UK (where it's not illegal) the first few times I cycled without a helmet I thought I was being dangerous and cycled differently but then I got used to the sensation and cycled the same way I always do.
The article implies these men aren't even getting to the stage where they can make the decision on whether it's beneficial.
I agree with your point about syntax; it would have been nice if the syntax was `define(blah) { ... }` and `it("whatever") { ... }`. However, I don't think that's possible, because I need to include code after the end of the block.

That might not be obvious from the simplified macros I used in my example, but it's pretty clear by looking at the actual definitions. The describe and subdesc-macros (https://github.com/mortie/snow/blob/a9ad850df456f78bcf96e1aa...) need to increment counters and print their status after the block, and the `it` macro (https://github.com/mortie/snow/blob/a9ad850df456f78bcf96e1aa...) needs to run deferred expressions.

I think it would be possible to implement the `describe` macro such that it can be used as `describe(blah) { ... }`, because that defines a function and we can both give the function argument and expect return values from it, but I can't think of any way to do it with the other macros which just create regular `do { ... } while(0)` blocks.

If I'm wrong, please show me how; the `foo(blah) { ... }` syntax would make the __LINE__ macro work, it would play better with auto indenters and syntax highlighters, and it would give prettier error messages if you have a syntax error in a test case. I just can't see any way it would be possible.
Asia Reclaims Position as Epicenter of Global Innovation
Ah, but certain problems are not just limited by the amount of time and resources that may be apportioned to them, but are bounded by needing to be completed with specific time and resource constraints.

And that's a spot where computers and programming show that they are capable of implementing systems that biological humans literally cannot under any circumstance. Our hardware/meat-ware is not capable of it.

If we maintain a willing suspension of disbelief, for sure a human being may be able to add up a million numbers correctly if they had infinite time and infinite resources (although in reality they would not be provisioned with those resources or time), but what no individual human can do is be presented with those numbers and add them up in under a second. Or to be more realistic and to draw away from our simple notion of individual problems and individual resource constraints, there are fields of knowledge resulting from coordinated-compound-tasks that require locally doing 20 disparate but coordinated operations in parallel in under a second.

The application of our modern day technology literally involves the creation and implementation of systems that no biological human or human-centric system can accomplish.

edit: of course, that might be a way of saying the problems that you said human beings take way to long to solve, but i think there's an important need to distinguish between those problems that we can't do because of algorithmic complexity, and those problems that we cannot do because we are not made/manufactured of the same stuff and able to be programmable with the same ease. Without blurring the definition of what it means to be human/computer, there are fundamentally problems that computer/AI can solve that we cannot.
There's a pretty clear distinction between salesmanship and fraud, to the point that one is legal and the other is not.

If Facebook and Google were to be public utilities then that would be a scary proposition. It would be some black mirror and sesame credit cross over. The social data mined from what you do would determine how good/obedient of a citizen/consumer you are and hence how well the regime treats you.

I actually prefer they not be regulated as public utilities because at least this way you have some measure of opting out of having information collected about you.

Note that this works only well if the law of two feet has been established prior to the meeting.

Otherwise, you should politely ask if you are still needed, wait for the "no", and only then leave.

Among others, this avoids awkward situations where you are needed 5 minutes later, and people have to wait for you to come back. In that case, your behaviour would be (rightfully) perceived as passive-aggressive rather than constructive.
I don’t think it’s the right move. There’s a difference between refusing to cooperate and willfully participating with appropriate counsel (union, lawyer, etc).

Imagine if airline employees didn’t cooperate in crash investigations. Or restaurant employees in outbreak investigations.

You shouldn’t be brash and speak without counsel, but stonewalling an official investigation will not end well for the stonewaller.

I keep hearing these arguments and after hundreds of hours of pub talks, the absolute best idea me and my friends have come up with (it's still a bad idea) is government issued crypto certificates.

The idea goes that about the same time someone is issued a social security number they are also issued a cryptographic key pair. The cool thing is that your key pair can establish identity and in case your private key is compromised a new one could be issued easily. The government would have to maintain copies of everyone's private keys.

The only way this would actually work in practice is if a number of new rights were established and a number of existing rights were updated. I don't want to enumerate what we came up with in discussions, but they are numerous.

The only real benefit to all of this is that encryption would have a backdoor which is established before any encrypted communication actually takes place so the protocols could be made as secure as possible. This also means that the government would have to establish a monopoly on something that we can do with a single openssl command.
