Quite obviously the best hardware experience? That doesn't seem obvious. I've been running Linux on Apples for many many years, but mid last year I bought a Dell. I'm certainly satisfied with it; I definitely miss the magsafe power adaptor, but that was a trade off I knowingly made. It seemed on balance that Dell had the better product.

What was so obvious that after checking out the options, I bought the wrong hardware?
The post above mentions some. One good way is synonym replacement. In this method the actual _text_ is altered every time to produce a unique arrangement of synonyms used through out the text. For example I can replace "two" with "2" or "fast" with "quick" to obtain a bit to embed things in. See here for examples:

http://failheap-challenge.com/showthread.php?16311-Taking-th...

Another is to alter the _frequency_ of certain letters occurring in the text to produce a unique watermark. For example the "number of i's" that occur in the text can be used to produce a unique text per user. This is a very hard attack to detect or do anything about because even _summaries_ of the associated text tend to carry letter and word frequencies forward.

These methods are also impervious to "screenshot" etc. And because the embedded value can simple be a 64bit key to lookup the users/session info with attacks that attempt to impersonate other are impossible.
What a terrible disaster this afternoon. It should never finish like this.

The only thing I hope out of this is that it will maybe relaunch the debates about the megaplatforms and censorship. (Facebook, youtube, Google,...). The bigger they become, the more they will start censoring everything.

More people need to launch the movement to host their videos independentlty. Peertube is a good start for example https://joinpeertube.org/en/home/
I seriously wonder if cryogenic computing won't break out of this. From what I hear it is very promising by several orders of magnitude both in terms of power and speed.
> There are now architectures other than CPUs that matter.

You would make a killing with a CPU twice or ten times as fast. Many algorithms are only suited for single-core operation. I don't know if this will ever change. The focus has shifted to other architectures mostly because we've reached a ceiling for single-core CPU.

Hi, Viua VM's developer here - I am behind this project.

The initial target/goal for me was to create a programming language, but I found it hard to dig into GCC (didn't know about LLVM then), so I decided to create my own runtime VM. Thus, the VM was born.

Why I chose GNU GPL v3? Simply because I am a strong proponent of Free Software (you may have also found that Viua has a page on GNU Savannah).

A piece of trivia: why name it "Viua"? "Viua" is pronounced a bit like "wiła" in Polish. Wiła is a female daemon in Slavic mythology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernatural_beings_in_Slavic_...

We played MUDs through BBSs. It was a different experience than the internet. Everything was text. You dialed up someone’s house and created an account to join a community which gave you access to a specific set of resources. The people playing the game with you were usually people in your area code.

Upgrading from ASCII to graphics would mean kicking out all your friends with older modems, those with poor phone lines, those without Win 3.1, etc.
Simple execution model for server-side apps: each request is practically a separate process, sharing nothing with the others... so basically you can even have an infinite loop in the code specific for one request, some code calling an extension that leaks memory in the code for another etc. The bugs keep piling, but your app keeps mostly workin' ;)

It's in a way like lambda/serverless but on any random server.

I'm kind of sad this model of "shared nothing" + "something just runs your code" has never carried on to other more enjoyable languages...

While there is extensive infrastructure for detecting active transmitting devices like Stingrays, there's no discussion (or tooling) around passive IMSI grabbers. These devices are significantly more limited (no IMEI or MSISDN, GSM-only), they remain pretty effective in areas/networks where GSM is still in place.

Hi, Viua VM's developer here.

Yeah, the naming of "vector" is unfortunate, I'll give you that. In Viua, a vector is simply a data structure with push, pop, insert, etc. operations - a collection of values.

If I ever include vector instructions of the sort you expected then I'll base the design on what RISC-V did.

Perhaps it (Cell) would not have been a "dud" as you put it had IBM not been a morally bankrupt villain.

I've read that Sony was under the impression that the licensing agreement meant that IBM would market Cell tech to other customers, those customers being in other computer markets like datacenters and stuff, rather than to Microsoft, for the 360, at the same time that the PS3 was still in development.

"As the book relates, the Power core used in the Xbox 360 and the PS3 was originally developed in a joint venture between Sony, Toshiba and IBM. While development was still ongoing, IBM–which retained the rights to use the chip in products for other clients–contracted with Microsoft to use the new Power core in their console. This arrangement left Sony engineers in an IBM facility unknowingly working on features to support Sony’s biggest competitor, and left Shippy and other IBM engineers feeling conflicted in their loyalties."

There is zero name calling in this post. Only contra positions to glittering generalities that try to paint dementedness as handsomeness.

I've received three warnings in the years I've posted hundreds of times. That is not in any rational way a ton. You are the only person who has ever picked on any of my posts. None of the posts you've ever complained about have had more than -2 karma at the time of the complaint and this one was at 0.

Your position amounts to bullying: you are in a position of power, you cite vague guidelines and each time I've asked exactly which guideline and in what manner it's a violation you refused to answer. This is a might makes right tactic. I refuse to accept it as fair, or just, or right. And itself is inconsistent with those same guidelines.

There will only be more challenges to such an absurd coddling of discourse that necessarily arise from highly charged events. There will be more such events. They will be even more ideological. That's why they occur and why people want to talk about them.

When people post nonsense, I have always seen enough downvotes by the community to render such opinions moot by their invisibility. I see no purpose or logic in your claim.

I have never opened a throw away account. This is my only account. All your threat does is tell me that was the actual mistake.
Some probably could, some of them probably wouldn't translate super well 1:1 and you'd lose part of the game in the transition.

I also think one of the great parts of developing a MUD as a developer is that you don't need to be good at graphics. Just code and writing.

Modern day MUDs contain a large portion of blind/sight-impaired people so moving towards a graphic based game might turn away most of your players. As it's pretty much the only kind of multiplayer game you can play as a blind person.
You don't have to be "frothing at the mouth" to be mentally unstable. I saw her videos on Dailymotion and I had the impression that something is not right with her, can't really pinpoint or explain what it is. but definitely very awkward in front of the camera. Just my personal take on it.

re motivation: I suppose this depends on what you're used to. Having worked on a single product for over 6 years I did find myself in blame/praise and log mode quite regularly. And on a global scale, 6 years is quite young.

re changelog: the idea (not in the demo video on the homepage) is to allow for "comments" (analogous with commit messages) to be attributed to arbitrary modifications.

re "program effects": this is indeed one of the ultimate goals (I've done some work on it as well). The idea is roughly that one can distinguish between the effects of a change on the program's structure, and on its behavior. For example, when changing a particular function's implementation the only effect on the program's structure is right in that function, but since the function may be used in many locations, it may change all of those location's behavior. If we know the calling locations (and those functions' calling locations, forming a graph) we can show which parts of the program might possibly be affected by the change.

We can also "look from the other side", i.e. look at a piece of code not just through the lens of when that piece of code changed, but also showing when pieces it depends on (through references) have changed and how.

In the third part of the course, the content moved to the software connecting to the BETA, the processor we built in earlier parts.

Good points! I'm not sure how interesting the clouds would look. There is definitely some dynamic behavior there, including electrical storms, and you'd have a day-night cycle spanning 4 days total, not due to the rotation of Venus but rather the atmospheric dynamics.

Also keep in mind that due to the dangers of radiation, the denizens of a lunar or Martian colony would not be outside that often. The most realistic plans I've seen actually have the habitats completely underground (e.g. in lava tubes on the moon [1]). Certainly a few of the colonists will leave on science missions with some frequency, but the vast majority of the time people will be inside and underground, albeit probably tele-operating mining equipment and things like that in many cases.

I think if you think big enough, in both cases the problem isn't that bad: being in an underground habitat / cloud habitat the size of a small town will feel like you're on solid ground, not like you're in an airplane in the clouds / in a cave. Artists and architects can design artificial landscape to keep things from being boring.

Actually not true. Perhaps surprisingly, CPUs and GPUs are progressing at about the same rate if you look at the high end. GPUs are all about massive parallelism, and if you compare against high end Xeons, the CPU core count increases plus things like AVX512 & FMA means they have been scaling similarly to GPUs over the past 10 years or so.

Nice analysis here (URL says 2013 but he has updated his numbers to end-2016). Looking at the graphs, you might even conclude that CPUs are improving faster in some respects.
