Yes this article is very old, and really only scratches the surface of Hillis' genius and puts a business failure angle on it.

Here's a great video describing the architecture of the CM-5

https://youtu.be/Ua-swPZTeX4

Note how similar the programming concepts are to CUDA (at an abstract level). Hillis also in the 80s published his MIT thesis as a book: The Connection Machine

https://www.amazon.com/Connection-Machine-Press-Artificial-I...

An incredibly well written and fascinating read, just as relevant today for programming a GPU as it was for programming the ancient beast of a CM-2. It's about algorithms, graphs, map/reduce, and other techniques of parallelism pioneered at Thinking Machines.

For example, Guy Blelloch worked at TM, and pioneered prefix scans on these machines, now common techniques used on GPUs.

There's also been a lot of hum lately on HN about APL, much of Hillis' *Lisp ideas come from parallelizing array processing primitives ("zectors" and "zappings"), ideas that originating in APL as he acknowledged in the paper describing the language:

What's old is new... again.
Automatic Stylization for Realistic Assets
Very cool. Unfortunately it's no longer supported in Long mode (x86-64). :-(
I think the real problem is that it needs to be maintained and nobody wants to do it. So… just start over in a more fashionable language, I guess.

Something I wonder about all the time is why software has to be so fragile. We always put so much work into maintaining things downstream because things break upstream so often it's frustrating.
Darn kids and their prefetching, GET off my lawn!
It isn't at all similar. JVM bytecode is a pretty high-level IR for tokenized Java. The JVM's main unit of optimization is a method, not instructions. Its key component is a compiler, it's even called that.

An x86 cpu, as the article points out, spends inordinate resources looking for ILP. It's not a compiler in any reasonable sense of the word, while a JVM is.
Reminds me of this good read on bad friends: https://aeon.co/essays/when-a-friendship-turns-sour-more-tha.... It concludes by arguing it’s better to have bad friends than no friends at all. Though I’m not entirely convinced.
> "It sounds like they were having trouble doing their job because their corporate IT decided it was more important to intercept all TLS/SSL traffic on the corporate network than to allow software developers to do their job securely."

Right, that was what I thought too, this is honestly why I'm turned off from applying to work with more bureaucratic companies (soon to be fresh graduate), I understand the reason for sensitive informations being leaked. But this seriously causes a lot of productivity loss...

I've interned with a small company that needs to SSL into government/companies servers to do work. (I don't do them, just on local company machine for testing etc. Also maybe why they can't let me do live site related stuffs) It'll be a big pain to not be able to SSL remotely and do work.
Yes, I agree it is more a part of our civilization as an expected norm of operation. Where I differ from the author is the fact that the majority of us our very capable of controlling our behavior although we may not initially realize our pattern or be self-reflecting on how it may be detrimental.

Loneliness is:
- When you try so hard to make friends and still they ignore you.

- When you know you have some really good qualities and characteristics, but are not appreciated for them.

- When you realize you're not important to other people; whether you go to school/work/university tomorrow or not doesn't affect others and they won't notice.

- When you see all those couples around you and in the street, and think about "what's wrong with me?" and "why don't I have something like that?"

- When you realize you've put in too much effort and enthusiasm to help people and make contact with them, but haven't received much in return; as if you were just a tool for them.

- When you just want to spend your time with a person and realize they don't like spending their time with you.

- When you are too alone that you don't even know where to begin in order to stop being lonely.

This is what fking loneliness feels like.

Nothing - I have seen projects using Maven and Gradle, working well.
x86 is also there on modern architectures to supply an abstraction that is increasingly divergent from the actual die hardware (but compatible with expectations of e.g. a C compiler that already has an output target for previous x86 hardware).

Modern Intel CPUs basically emulate x86; there are many layers of abstraction between individual opcodes and transistor switching.
Good argument for socialism. The question that follows any argument that advocates some form of wealth sharing is "what do I get in return?". I think, as a society, we should be valuing the non-materialistic impact we can all have on each other. I am a software developer. I can build things and make money off that, great. I create some value and am compensated in return for that. I can now go seek things I cannot do myself like writing a song, or playing a sport in a manner worthy of my audience and go support the artist or the sportsperson. There now is a working model for wealth sharing.

Once we come out of the basic shell of "socialism will breed a generation of welfare seekers", and look at a pivot of capitalism with wealth distribution in mind, it could see some success.

I'm a young developer who also happened to work in a bank so I did a lot of Cobol in 2017-2018.

Good points of Cobol:

- No boilerplate

- You could understand the use case just by reading the code

- Never seen such a fast processing of millions of records (this was done with VSAM files)

But the most important and a real eye-opener for me:

- Any developer can easily learn how to program in Cobol. You don't need superstars 10x programmers and ever changing frameworks and paradigms. There were grandmothers working as developers in the bank. I've actually never seen such a diversity in IT (not only age but also gender diversity).

This may not be a popular opinion (or maybe it's the most popular opinion), but if I'm using pretty much any language for anything that is in development or in any way home-baked (so, it didn't itself come from a distro package)...

I always wind up setting up the runtime environment using some form of the "carefully, and by hand" strategy.

Every language that I use (and probably every language that I can think of) has one or more preferred, distro-agnostic ways to install the language SDK and runtimes on a per-user or per-app basis. Go has GOHOME and GOPATH. Ruby has RVM, chruby, rbenv, and bundler. Python has pip and virtualenv.

Pretty much all of these include some sort of 12factor-ish tools and best-practices advice like using a Gemfile for explicit dependencies and environment isolation.

For teams with a platform group or someone who is responsible to run upgrades, with custom apps that were developed for script or interpreted languages: this is also pretty much the only way to ensure that production apps are not automatically broken by some ham-handed apt upgrade, usually being done on a schedule according to protocol, with someone at the keyboard who has no knowledge of the specific applications running on the machine being upgraded.

We have channels for those folks to notify us of impending upgrades, but five times out of seven the timing couldn't be worse, or the notification wouldn't include specific notes about what packages will be changed, so we're left to our own "spidey-senses" and vigilance inside of dev environments to notice these issues before they hit prod...

More often than not though, the issue I've seen has been the reverse: developers would like to start their app with the newest release of the language runtime, to take advantage of the latest features as well as to minimize the pain of upgrading later, but the platform team prefers to use a Stable or Long-Term Support release that has an intolerably old version, and the devs wind up missing the new features and writing workarounds for the lowest common denominator (or worse, remaining ignorant on the pain or postponing the pain of upgrading until some unknown future date.)
I believe you are correct. Lots of that.

A look at what the Windows 10 April 2018 update brings
It depends on the use case. IO-heavy workloads (like databases) benefit from the better performance (relative to traditional hard disks), though ramdisks would give even more performance gains (so long as your data - or the most actively used subset thereof - fits in RAM).

Another factor is the form factor (pun intended; I'll be here all week). SSDs can get a lot smaller than traditional hard drives, which opens up the floodgates for tiny servers (blades, single-board machines, etc.) as well as for increasingly-dense solid-state SANs.

But yes, power savings are yet another huge benefit - and one which is still such even as a side effect of going with SSDs for a different reason (like physical space or needing high-speed disk access).
