I'm in the same boat as you so pardon me for not giving a sugar-coated response(since I am simultaneously criticizing myself).

Rude? What was your motive for behaving a certain way? If that motive did not include arrogance,selfishness,hatred or apathy then I don't think you were being rude at all. This doesn't change the fact that you are being perceived as rude. People simply cannot tell your motive without getting to know you on a personal level beforehand. I agonize endlessly over maybe having done something that will be misunderstood as rudness or unkindness.

Coward? This is a though one to admit. I hate and despise it but it is a truth I had to face. Even if your personality is an introvert,you should be able to forcibly tolerate discomforting situations. Avoiding them is acting out of fear (of awkward situations,discomfort,etc..). It is a personality fault. I have been trying to self-reflect and find the root cause of this behavior. I was much more tolerant towards it when I was younger but I am now starting to see all the things I missed out on (personally and professionally) as a result of introvertism and social anxieties.

I hope you find an answer that helps.

Both can be true. I do believe anyone supporting the administration's efforts on immigration and many other issues, and anyone working to assist ICE in these efforts, etc to be acting unethically.

I think there is such thing as an ethical Ideal, and my own ethics are an attempt to get as close to the ideal as possible. I like to think that they don't exist in a vacuum.
I understand you're not disagreeing with the core of what I said, but I have to point out your circular logic.

Why do species have a prime? Why don't they reach a certain "amount of reproductibility" and stay at that constant amount forever?

The fact that a prime exists is just one instance of one of those things that evolution hasn't figured out yet. Or maybe there's a different reason why it hasn't happened, but that reason is certainly not fundamental physics.

Currently working on software for RISC-V and I can definitely see some opportunities here. One thing that's becoming apparent though, is that some level of abstraction needs to be available in order for many of these things to become useful. RISC-V has a very exciting Vector processing extension, which is intended to replace packed SIMD in most cases, but some software systems assume packed SIMD is the only way to get more FP performance.

For example, WebAssembly specifically exposes SIMD primitives, which means that it may be necessary to work backwards from those SIMD primitives to make use of a true vector machine.

I think many people simply underestimate the cost of adopting a new programming model.

> Also, why not have the usual hot paths in Node.js|Spring Framework|Django directly etched into hardware? HW http header parsing surely could bring benefit to them all.

Well, in all the listed cases here, the CPU is not the bottleneck on throughput. As far as I can tell problem with HTTP is not that headers take too long to parse, it's that memory is still too slow, and context switches cost us precious time. The problem with Node is not that the hardware doesn't adequately model the semantics, it's that dynamic, weak typing makes it hard for any system (software or hardware) to understand what type things are.

Update: The J extension seems interesting, and I've read some research (not thoroughly) recently showing considerable power and time savings from hardware GC primitives. I'm excited to see what goes on in that committee.

Not true. Procreation is not binary. More is better (evolutionarily speaking), so there's no reason for "once you have one offspring you're evolutionarily dead." No, you could have more.

While it is obvious that everything decays, it is equally obvious that you can repair it.

For me eternal youth will happen sooner or later, probably 100 years in the future,50 years,200, but it will happen when we understand biology and could repair tissues, something that we could not do today. Today we don't heal a bone fracture, we let nature do it, because we really do not control or understand the process deeply. The body knows how to kill viruses, we do not. Only bacteria after copying nature with antibiotics is under our control but we do not control or understand the process again.

This is not being immortal, people will die in wars, or accidents, or being killed, but they will be young all our lives.

For this people will probably have to go to a place that resembles the uterus and spend some time there as the body repairs itself:

After that you will be 20 years younger. Not different from repairing a car.

It doesn’t take more than five minutes to realize that nutritionfacts.org is purely one-sided. You can’t find a SINGLE piece of science on there that disagrees with vegan orthodoxy.

What is the likelihood that this is the result of an evenhanded look at a broad range of scientific literature, vs. a careful cherry-picking of evidence to support a predetermined conclusion?

Here’s a trick: if you’re the only person who thinks a complex science is clear cut and obvious, maybe you’re the one who is missing something.
> If there's some truth to this, you'd expect that the species that are better at this also tend to be the simpler ones, since for those simplicity also means smaller diversity of things going wrong.

I doubt it.

IMO, aging is just a way to ensure that dying occurs.

And dying is necessary for evolution, as it's easier to replace the old with a new generation that understand better the reality than changing the current generation.

Old habits literally die hard.
Not really, if you stay young forever you can procreate forever and "out" procreate the rest of your species that still ages.

Voluntary donations are important, which is why it's so sad to see them diminished in the US (the increase i the standard deduction makes donations taxable for 80%+ of the population).

Donations do have blind spots, though: They rarely go through the sort of assessment that is required for public spending. They are also susceptible to individuals' subjective motivations. I know of one charity caring for stray cats financed mostly by the estates of wealthy widows. Meanwhile, nobody donates to rehabilitation efforts of middle-aged sex offenders.

Yea, could be. Maybe there is research out here to support that. But you don't really have to be a researcher to realize birth, aging and death are fundamental pillars of all life since a few billion years back. It is human nature to try and live forever, granted. But it was always hubris, and will forever be.
Materials other than silicon can support higher clock rates.

From reading the open literature and advertisements by foundry companies, I think you could make a 6502 equivalent processor with Indium Phosphide with 64kb of static RAM that clocks at 30 GHz. With a more refined process you might push 90 GHz and a much more complex processor.

Yes, InP is more expensive than Silicon but part of that is the low volume that InP parts are made in. Advances in Silicon are getting much more expensive, and one InP microprocessor could do the work of ten Silicon-based cores so you can save on die area without the "race to the bottom" in size.

The main issue with high clocks is fast access to memory, probably you would need an optical interface to off-chip RAM, also I don't know what the InP equivalent of DRAM is. (Something like Optane?)

So one problem I recently found with PWAs that are a real issue, is that the user can't easily control the browser that is used for them on android.

We had a PWA that was having some really strange issues recently, only to find that some users were on really old versions of what looked like chrome (like versions 49, 51 and 56 as of last week).

We eventually found out that this was actually the "samsung browser" which is the default browser on many samsung phones, which is pinned to an older chromium version, and our PWA when installed was using that rendering engine, which was causing compatibility issues that the user has no ability to fix themselves.

I love the web platform, but this is a big problem. We are going the "wrap our app in a compiled chromium browser" route now, as much as it pains me to do it, because there just isn't any other option here.

Imagine if lenovo were to randomly decide that any software run on windows on their PCs will be run in a windows XP vm, and that there wasn't any easy way to change it... All because the company wants to add their branding and "optimize for their hardware"...

Yes, we could try to support these older versions, but seeing as these phones will most likely never get updates from samsung again, it would just prevent us from using any new features or new performance increases until these users leave us. So our options are to wrap the app in a fat wrapper that allows us to continue writing the best app we can for the most number of people, or intentionally hamstring the app for everyone to support a minority of users that are using phones abandoned by their manufacturer. (FFS Samsung's latest release as of late october 2017 was 6 months out of date the day they released it!)

Edit: Just saw another issue come through, user agent comes from a nvidia shield tablet, based on chrome 44, released 2015-07-21... That will never get another update. The oldest chrome version i've seen in our logs looks like 41 which was 2 weeks ago!

Bahrain is the same.

I was stuck there for a few days for a job and wanted to do literally anything other than sitting in the hotel. There was literally nothing within a 30 minute walk (in brutal heat) so a taxi was required, but I didn't have any local currency, so I asked the hotel concierge where the closest ATM is. I then had to walk 30 minutes, just to find a broken ATM inside of a little structure with a broken A/C. At that point, I realized if I walked another 30 minutes, I would be at the mall. 2 of the 3 ATMs at the mall didn't work. After 20 minutes of realizing the mall was full of Gucci and other designer shops which I had no interest in, I took a taxi 15 minutes to the next nearest mall. Again, nothing but designer shops. Taking another taxi to visit yet another (unfinished) mall, which was worse than the last two, not to mention only 1/3rd of the shops were even open, but according to multiple people and the taxi driver, it was the "hot spot to go". The taxi driver refused to park inside because the line of cars was hundreds long and would have taken ~30 minutes. I ended up walking 15 minutes from the highway to the mall.

If I were discussing the politics of taxi regulation, I'd be ashamed of my comment. But I'm not. It's a general observation on the difficulty of defining what is ethical and how even those who call for ethics can have different ethical systems/principles - not even prompted by the text itself.

Honestly, adding disclaimers, hedges and requests for charitable readings in every reply gets old.

Companies should pay taxes, and more, lobby officials for fair and simple tax codes so these issues don't arise in the first place. Dropbox, Apple, Google, etc. shouldn't have a competitive advantage over companies unwilling or unable to play these games.

That being said, funding and supporting non-profits and charitable work is fine. I don't know whose intentions are so important that we should discourage that kind of behavior.

The ESA (originally called IDSA) was already not worth preserving back in the golden days of abandonware, in the late nineties. Does anyone remember this?

Interesting. So by that line of thought, aging would be an evolved trait giving certain species an evolutionary advantage over others without aging.

The attacks I'm aware of use processor timings to measure the effects their programs are having. However, because an asynchronous circuit doesn't complete tasks in a reliable cycle, you can't measure how the pipeline is being effected by your program in the same way. You could find new ways to force the processor to act in a reliable manner that you could measure, but that may change quite randomly from processor to processor, or even from moment to moment, depending on external environmental factors.

The attraction of Haskell is to build correct software in a mathematically principled way. With practice, it is also remarkably productive, certainly more so than Go when used as a general purpose language. Haskell is simply much more expressive and capable of abstracting over many more things (perhaps this is why you say it is hard to read).
The Haskell ecosystem is also constantly evolving and solving more and more real world problems, often problems that have not been solved in other languages. Modern Haskell effectful streaming libraries actually make reasoning about stream processing much easier than in say Java, where the presence of effects (exceptions etc) destroys reasoning.

> Go is now my favorite language.

Is this really true? Or is it just the tool you are now most familiar with? It's certainly a much more riskier proposition to try and feed the kids writing Haskell.

Quoting Rob Pike on Google's own Go programmers:
"They're typically fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java ... They're not capable of understanding a brilliant language ... So the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."

The Go toolset can obviously get the job done, but I don't understand why it would be anyone's favourite language, it doesn't even sound like it's Rob Pike's favourite language.
Ah yes, makes total sense if you're setting up not just a Python environment, but an entire stack. Very cool.
Yeah, if we get to the point where humans (or whatever our evolutionary progeny are can't imagine it'd be anything resembling humans today) are still around when that starts happening at 10^28 years which is ~10^17 years from now I'll consider that a job extremely well done as a species/civilization.
Even if you count proton decay as a reasonable mechanism of ageing (which it probably isn't, given that proton decay has never been observed), there is no reason to assume that you can't replace parts with decayed protons with new parts. Humans aren't closed systems.
Dropbox should've been a feature of the operating system, but it isn't, because OS vendors have convinced themselves there's nothing left to do since the Internet is just going to solve all the hard problems now.

Seriously, I rue the day someone decided not to build-in such features as Internet-wide file sharing into my operating system, giving me full control over my content - subjugating me, instead, to the whims of yet another un-trustable third party.
> Entropy always increase in closed systems, but we are not talking about a closed system here.

That's the point. If we would fall for the authors interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics humans couldn't exists, as they wouldn't be able to develop in the first place.
Wow that's a blast from the past. I started a Molecular Biology undergrad in 1992 and that was one of the books we had to buy. Mr Alberts must be doing alight if that is a course text on many courses for so many years.
Each cell in our body is derived from a cell that existed 3 billion years ago. It seems twisted argument that some how cell in an individual body must die but can renerate for billions of years if it only met with other damaged cell. There are fair amount of examples such as a-sexual bacterial reproduction where cell essentially survives for ever. There are many species known to live on for multiple of 100 years.

"...one of the least technologically advanced country in Eastern Europe, with a paltry internet speed ranking of 41..."

It's not about the "tone" or feeling "offended". It's simply uninformed.

For starters, internet speed ranking is only loosely correlated with overall technological advancement - speaking in the context of developed countries, among which these differences tend to be fairly subtle already.

For what it's worth, the same source the author refers to (Akamai) puts Poland ahead of France (by 17%) and Italy (by 37%) in terms of average internet connection speed. https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/our-thinking/state-of-the... - is this supposed to indicate France is less technologically advanced? http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=2017101...

The World Economic Forum's Networked Readiness Index (which "measures the propensity for countries to exploit the opportunities offered by ICT") places Poland at 7th out of 20 Eastern European countries. http://www3.weforum.org/docs/GITR2016/WEF_GITR_Chapter1.1_20...

Also note that the growth rate of R&D expenditure in Poland is among the highest in Europe (Europe in general, not just whatever gets passed off as "Eastern"). http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/...

The problem is not the tone, the problem is ignorance - it doesn't matter if they'd sugarcoat it or not.

The corporate language is off-putting, indeed. But what they're (trying to) say actually makes sense: Dropbox has seen some of its greatest success from people using it in ways they have not specifically foreseen. People used it for photo sharing, even though it wasn't advertised as a "photo-sharing tool".

That ties in well with their policy of making unrestricted grants, which similarly aims to delegate decision-making downstream.

Still, if you have only two floats to add and make a decision based on the result, a GPU or a TPU will not help you.

Hashing, maybe sorting, blitting and some math could be performed at the on-module DRAM controller level even, without data crossing over the slow DDR4 bus or mangling the CPU caches.

I'd love, in fact, to explore such an architecture in a simulator. What would happen to CPU performance if, say, hashes could be computed without reading the data, memory be cleared without zeroes hitting the bus or some SIMD operations be conducted on the memory.

Edit: clarify the processing could be done on the module side of the memory bus.
