The first mistake in the article is using smstools. Having personally had to deal with smstools for the past two years, using Gammu SMSD or even a paid SMS Gateway would have been a better choice.

Granted, this was on OpenWRT using a frozen version of smstools and largest issues were with trying to get Å, Ä & Ö to work (fun times with UCS-2/UTF-8/WTF-8 and Latin1/CP-1502/ISO-8859-1). It sure was an experience and in the end, the problem was blown away by just using UTF-8 (which had the unfortunate side-effect of doubling the amount of sent messages due to the space taken by the encoding).

What puzzles me is how easily large entities go for services that send from a random phone number (for example, VR in Finland sends "mobile train tickets" via random numbers that change with every message) where as some opt to "fake" the from number to have the company/service name.

Yes, if the attack vector you're trying to close is a compromised keyboard/network/terminal and not a stolen-while-unlocked device.

From the article:
> One thing developers spend a lot of time on is completely absent from both of these lists: debugging!

I notice that times changed a bit. This was true in software engineering like 10 years ago, but in recent years there is much more emphasis on good practices, constant refactoring, implementing lots of tests alongside the production code, etc. I debug maybe 1-2 hours per month, as a full-time programmer.

If the TV / Cable Live broadcast is 5 seconds behind for betting purpose. Why cant IPTv / internet streaming be the same 5 seconds behind as well. It seems the whole World Cup broadcast is done without putting streaming as part of the distribution.

Do TV station around the world gets the 5 seconds buffer delay as well? After all it will have another processing time once they add their own languages features and commentary into it.
Yeah that would work but also make your code base a mess. Things that you can catch during build step and move in, or out, is much better handled at that level rather than leaking it into your code base.

Adding more “micro army” pods would exponentially increase the coordination costs / communication overhead. If communication is the main challenge then decentralizing power would lead to more org ineffectiveness (centralized/command-control structures would be better).

> Everyone jealously scrutinised everybody else all the time – something easy to do when all social life was conducted in a public space. They took careful note of what others ate, what others owned, what others received or gave as gifts, and whether or not they were sufficiently generous in return.

This was typical small village behavior in Nordics less than 100 years ago. When your survival depends on the village coming to your help when you are in trouble, you pay for it by giving up some freedoms. Social control is used to keep everyone in line.

Economic historians have noticed how egalitarian small village farming limited the innovation in agriculture. You could not adopt new crop or radical new technology easily unless everybody was on board even if everyone was farming their own piece of land (you need to come together for investments, risk sharing and emergency work). In contrast, independent big landowner changing something was just one man doing the decision.

What is the best socioeconomic system depends on the circumstances. For long term survival purposes conservative, cohesive and close willage/tribe and demand sharing/palace economy is probably the best.

As somebody who lives in the nordic countries but is a foreigner I think that the law is not really a specific thing to Nordic countries but just an amusing social commentary of certain types of society.

I wonder if microservices will have a similar evolution as microkernels. While some microkernels almost closed the performance gap to monolith kernels, the communication overhead killed them. It turned out that the kernel's complexity could be reduced by moving some functions to the applications ("library OS"). Linux kernel drivers are only accepted when the functionality can't be done in user space. The extreme version is running single purpose, highly specialized unikernels on a hypervisor.
It is naive/lacking common sense to think always being honest is smart.

WTF is an interesting case because it can express both versions.

WTF?! with an emphasis on the question means you lack information about the subject, WTF!? with an emphasis on the exclamation means you know what occurred but you're expressing shock/outrage.

E.g. the first version is "I don't know what just happened" and the second is "I can't believe what just happened".

With an interrobang there's no way of expressing both versions.
Sure though it's not a question of picking. Nature doles out competence in unequal measure; thus hierarchies are inevitable. As we observe, in the aftermath of revolutions they rapidly reconstitute. Fortunately hierarchies of competence also compete. Since competence is not the same as human value, optimists trust that decent ideals prevail.
The median sort time for sorting 1048576 elements wth djbsort is 61467822 cycles: https://sorting.cr.yp.to/speed.html

On a say 3.6 Ghz processor that would be around 17ms. So the number of elements sorted per second would be around 61.4 M elements/s.

My parallel radix sort can sort floats (a little harder than integers) at around 165 M elements/s: http://forwardscattering.org/post/34

A serial radix sort should still be similar or faster to djbsort.
Most of these libraries are open source. One we had the most friction updating was was our library that wraps common logic for dealing with user generated events - https://github.com/segmentio/facade (this is the example that was referenced in the blog post).

Isn't it funny how the researchers directly address Intel for HW mitigation,

> We also believe Spectre1.1 speculative buffer overflows are completely addressable by hardware

but Intel passes the ball over directly to OS vendors:

>Intel recommends checking with your Operating System Vendor(s) for updates or patches.

Intel HW proposals so far (CAT) do not help at all with Spectre 1.1, the here proposed SLoth and DAWG does help with Spectre 1.1 but not with Spectre 1.0.
Looks like HW vendors really need to offer more HW state for all speculative branches, caches, address translations.

> All footprint attacks can be prevented by carefully partitioning microarchitectural state. For example, DAWG
proposes hardware mitigations that securely partition all microarchitectural memory structures (set-associative caches,
TLBs, PTE caches, etc.) to protect against both non-speculative and speculative footprint attacks. https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/418

I don't know of anyone doing something similar. GreenArrays is the closest I'm aware of in terms of number of cores, but their cores are far more minimalistic. XMOS Xcore is another one that is similar-ish.

One of the problems Adapteva kept facing, and that I think XMOS did too (and that's caused their change in focus to specifically market voice processing solutions rather than focus on their chips), is that they're suited for a very specific nice:

Larger CPUs are way better for things that need high single-core performance and are hard to decompose.

GPUs are way better for anything that's mostly single-instruction multiple-data. That is, anywhere where you have a small number of instruction streams doing the same two large arrays.

Things like Epiphany and XMOS Xcore do have some appeal in really low power applications, but they'll do best in cases where you have multiple fundamentally divergent instruction streams (lots of branching). Even then, you need enough cores that you can't just pick a bigger CPU and timeslice.

Conceptually it really appeals to me, but ever since the days of the Transputer, we've struggled to decompose problems well enough to make many-core designs like Epiphany compete well with ever-faster single-core performance and now coupled with GPU's to slice away the SIMD type problems.

I'm still a fan, and have two Parallelas, and find it really sad that he wasn't able to get more traction, as I think you need to get it to an inflection point with more RAM per core and more cores per chip (the Epiphany V might have done that if it had become commercially available, or e.g. on a PCIe card) to allow people to more realistically find the right problems to solve on them.

Part of the challenge is that unlike for GPUs, there are no problems that are really screaming out for this architecture, especially not as single core performance for CPUs have skyrocketed, and you can compensate for the lower number via multithreading. For Epiphany type architectures to make sense you need problems where slow-ish single thread performance can be compensates by an ability to run far more in parallel and/or where deterministic latency for communication that is easy to reason about can compensate (e.g. for Epiphany you can relatively easily count "hops" to know how many cycles accessing the memory of any given other core will take, so if you're careful you can use that to do lock-free memory accesses across cores).
I don't know. How do I find out for sure?
You can set the boundaries of your VR space to be really small, so you're always activating the boundary grid. This would give you a frame of reference for the real world, and probably reduce your motion sickness.

There are actually a bunch of VR games that have comfort options which basically put a static cage around you. Also, similarly, cockpit games are a popular way to allow free movement with reduced motion sickness.

The title is easily misunderstood - the article describes a type of envy in Namibian hunter-gatherers which resulted in a behaviour that is not usually seen as ok in most Western societies. They would insult and demean whatever windfall or wealth the person got, and also demand some of it.

This meant that those who were successful hunter gatherers didn't start believing they were superior or more deserving than their fellow tribesmen:

> just as the humility shown by good hunters and others with something to brag about was ascribed to “embarrassment.”

The article goes on to say how this behaviour has discouraged members of this group taking on higher management and political roles, which mean this community are under-represented on a national level, and also still very poor.

I found it a thought-provoking article. I seem to remember a time when the rich I met were somewhat embarrassed about their money, whereas I feel like at the moment people seem to be showing off their wealth a lot more. But maybe that is more to do with my social circles, or the facebook effect, or a different time in my life.

Personally, I find envy to be a very toxic emotion, which sways me and others to make life-choices that don't necessarily increase our happiness. I find I'm starting to avoid people who seem to care too much about their own and other's financial (and other) types of achievement.

Maybe I should take a leaf from the Ju/Hoansi and start insulting people's bragging rights. 'My! That is a shit bathroom you've got! And to think you spent that much...'
The problem with AVX2 accelerated code (and much of AVX) is that unless you have a lot of it to run you end up with a substantial speed hit that comes from the cost of switching to a different power bin (which often takes 1 or 2ms!) and then running at a lower clock speed.

This often still ends up being an improvement over scalar code (at the cost of higher power usage), but for occasional workloads that don't need to do multiple milliseconds of AVX instructions you tend to have better results from 4-wide vectors, which don't have this cost.
>Anyway, Apple only should be blamed, imho. If people efforts and project momentum are the real plus value, then data alone won't be sufficient to steal a technology.

That's a weird argument. No one said it's sufficient, but "stealing" data certainly helps.

Also, what do you mean by "people efforts"? The only way to prevent every single employee with access to trade secrets from leaving is to make workers corporate property and lock them up on a remote island. Surely, that's not what you're suggesting, is it?
Uh, he didn't release the IP publicly. He was going to take it and give it to another company that presumably is not transparent in the slightest. Doesn't sound like striving for World Peace (c) to me.
> For while a particularly spectacular kill was always cause for celebration, the hunter responsible was insulted rather than flattered. Regardless of the size or condition of the carcass, those due a share of the meat would complain that the kill was trifling, that it was barely worth the effort of carrying it back to camp, or that there wouldn’t be enough meat to go around

Seems to me, a lot of people in modern society still excercise this ritual.
Feeling envious might be good as long as it enforces you to take a positive change in your life.

Feeling envious for someone who has purchased a new house, a new car or established a new business would make you strive to have one for yourself would be regarded as a positive influence of envy.
