You'd be lucky to get 1/50th of the advertised Gbps. Hackforums is where script kiddies go. It's just a bunch of unemployed kids trying to show off with software/code that they didn't make themselves, but they will sure as hell try to convince you they did.
This amounts to using your x86 CPU as an OISC [1], more specifically, as one with a transport triggered architecture [2].

--

Edit: I wrote a tiny TTA CPU simulator to better understand the concept when I first encountered it back in 2006. I recently discovered its code in a old backup and this story has prompted me to upload it; here it is: https://bitbucket.org/networked/oisc-sim. The code is ugly in places and lacks comments but it still might be easier to get started with than x86 assembly.

The simulator has the command syntax of

REG1 REG2

where both REG1 and REG2 are register numbers. This transfers the contents of REG1 to REG2. By default all registers contain unsigned int values. There are registers that are mapped to the sum, difference, product, etc. of registers 0 and 1; that's how you do arithmetic and comparisons. Flow control is accomplished by moving the desired instruction number to REG_PC (register 3). Input and output (numerical only) is done by moving data to and from REG_IO (register 4). To store a literal move its value to REG_CONST (register 11; you can then move it to whatever register you like from there).

If you find yourself short on registers increase REGS_N to, say, 256 in mov-rev.c.

Because it's easy to get lost in the register numbers a sample factorial program I've included (https://bitbucket.org/networked/oisc-sim/src/3b3903518033494...) uses the C preprocessor to assign them names. Download the simulator and type

make fact

to try it. It'll ask you to input a single number followed by the <enter> key.

There's no documentation to speak of but you can get a dynamically generated special register reference by running

mov-rev -h

Why I ditched Evernote for Google Drive
I have a good resume and a chill work place (kinda). So I work 8 hours mostly. If I fear that they'll get mad that I'm not working hard enough then fuck it, I'm finding another job. My career is not going to take over and force me to sacrifice my life.

But I chose to live nearby a university so I go to Starbuck and stuff and talk to students there, mostly women.

On Friday and Sat I go out and hit on women at clubs. Shrug. I'm also going to go to the University gym twice a week and take some improv and probably vocal coach. I also chose to stay in touch and live nearby an area where my friends are within a 50 miles radius.

Spend those money on hobbies and building your life.

> you literally have no incentive (besides immediate salary) to waste precious time off your life in a hierarchy that isn't going anywhere and is utterly clueless.

I beg to differ. It sounds like the whole department is at risk. If I was in the position I wouldn't want to just quit and leave everyone else - who I work with on a daily basis - to face the consequences. I would try speaking to upper management and seeing how that goes. At the very least let them know about the PMs regime to rewrite everything - "What, you didn't know this was happening?". I would actually speak to them rather than just emails. If they don't seem bothered, and nothing happens, then get out. But at least you know that you tried, and don't have to feel guilty about leaving.
Brilliant or insane code?
Now that things are so bad, the best thing to do is to keep higher ups and other peers(yours and your managers's) in the organization, a quick update on what's going on in your group. Make sure to have some good metrics/data collected to have the case strong.

Remember: When concerned about loyalty, Your loyalty is not just to the manager, but to the organization.
As your sibling poster mentioned, and I hadn't quite realized, a "trigger warning" is a legitimate context for this complaint. The not-safe-for-work crowd has no truck here, regardless of what time or day it is.
Thanks, so it's packing it not compressing, I have updated the article accordingly.
Not directly, no. But anecdotally, and on rare occasion, I've heard of legal teams jumping to conclusions etc... and really coming down hard on people who disclose to former employers.

At this point, the option with the fewest risks to your name, if you chose to use it in the disclosure, would be to exclude any mention of the live site completely. Make it appear so that this is only something that you came across on the code and, with your best linguistic poker-face, strictly keep to the code alone without even marginally grazing the live site.

Besides that, you should try and relax a bit. I know, it's easy for me to say, but that will help you come up with the right words. You also have to keep in mind that even though it's a pretty serious bug, it's still A bug. This will far from destroy the company if fixed immediately, as you say, it's a pretty simple fix. You shouldn't imagine the worst case scenario.
That last paragraph sums it up pretty well. You're obviously correct, an inexhaustible function = infinite set is required.

Thanks!
From the paper:

> Finding Turing-completeness in unlikely places has long been a pastime of bored computer scientists. The number of bizarre ma- chines that have been shown Turing-complete is far too great to describe them here, but a few resemble what this paper describes.

> ... [several examples] ...

> A single instruction machine using only MOVE was described by Douglas W. Jones [1], where Turing-completeness is gained by having memory-mapped arithmetic and logic units (so that other operations can be performed by moving data a predefined memory location and collecting the result afterwards). Some machines based on this principle have been built, and are generally known as “move machines” or “transport-triggered architectures”.

Also:

> Removing all but the mov instruction from future iterations of the x86 architecture would have many advantages: the instruction format would be greatly simplified, the expensive decode unit would become much cheaper, and silicon currently used for complex functional units could be repurposed as even more cache. As long as someone else implements the compiler.

That's simply not true. There is the rule, that NULL must be equal to (void *)0. I had also several discussions about that topic, but it's part of at least C99 and C11.
If it is as bad as you say, send an earnest letter to whoever owns the company. If that's the founder, shareholders, whoever has the owners equity in the company. Better yet, if possible, find them in person and address them that way if you have the confidence/acumen.

Get your resume sorted but don't touch the linkedin as it will show you might be thinking of jumping ship. It sounds like you enjoy the project and would rather solve the issue than leave. A project being developed in secret is completely f'ed (and could be illegal depending on your company structure) and they would have to be mental for reprimanding you for bringing transparency to it.

This is bullshit. If other people waiting tables are working harder then why can't every body be an engineer? Why is there are a small population of engineer? Or a small population of doctor? It's because it's fucking hard to acquire the skill and you should be rewarded for it. Supply and demand. If it's overpay then the author can go ahead and take the 20k salary that is equivalent to waiting tables. Just don't expect me to do take it, that's just a fucking slap in the face.

For instance, I keep forgetting it. Not that she was female, but that it was unusual that she was female. EG: she wasn't a "Pioneer of Female Programmers", she was instead simply a "Computer Pioneer".

Thank you! I recently stumbled on the Grace Hopper conference[1]. Initially I didn't know what it was about and thought maybe it was about compilers or whatever. I was a bit disappointed to learn that it was a conference for women. I mean, of all the awesome things she has done we're celebrating the simple fact that she's a woman.

Wow, you actually are, albeit an inactive one! Well, when I'm wrong I'm wrong. I'm surprised you don't debate better though because every lawyer I've known has been excellent at debating!

The fact you're a patent troll with a software patent for an "innovation" that (according to this comment's sibling comments) is super trivial, obvious, and certainly not new puts your perspective into perspective! I hope it gets invalidated!

As a point of note, I'm not clicking on that link so I can remain ignorant of that patent. I hear that's the best course of action for developers ... just in case!

Also, I just watched your TED application video: people sometimes go to the US with empty suitcases for the purposes of shopping because it's cheaper to buy the same or similar products in the US than it is to buy them locally. More importantly, it's fun. They also do the same in other countries too!

Ember Data isn't a requirement of Ember by any means. You can happily use these instead:

From my travels across the US, it was abundantly clear that not all restaurants and bars were busy, even in prime time.

It's pretty easy to see whether or not service is a well-paid job: do high-status people do it, and do people make a career of it (in general). And the answer is no. people do it when they're young and can't do anything else, and it burns them out. Few people stay in service. Yes, you can cherry-pick some good jobs out of service, but in general, people do it because they can't do something else... or do it while doing something else (like study).
Everyone can see how these "soldiers" aided the enemy and put American lives at risk. Oh but aiding the enemy is a crime just for whistle blowers, not rapist torturers, right. Obama and the military even admit that this harms American interests as they refuse to release the photos!
Do we have trigger warnings for people who have been through other horrible things in life? That would be a lot of warnings on a lot of posts. Saying the post is NSFW should be enough.
I agree with this because it seems to be essentially one bad apple that is screwing everything up. If the team was working okay before under the previous PM and lead developer then there's no reason to think all hope is lost. At least not yet.
It sounds noble, but lets face it, he is not on a battlefield with dying comrades or something. Colleagues are not your family, they are in charge of their own lives and they can leave too if they want to. Would you want someone to come work a job he now hates just so that you wouldn't feel bad about him leaving? Grow up.

Just start looking for a new job and leave as soon as you can. A company that makes these kinds of choices in terms of job filling cannot be worth your time.

> "... you literally have no incentive (besides immediate salary) ... Resigning may give you better options later on than getting fired. It's going to be tough depending on how well you can function on reserves ..."

The OP mentioned London and the timescales indicate he's been in the company a while. Therefore, I'd encourage him to check his contract and employment law as 'being fired' isn't a trivial undertaking for the employer (there can be negotiation and comp agreements). I definitely agree with the sentiment to refresh his CV and be prepared to leave but not if it's going to cause financial hardship.

Once he understands his position, I'd try bypassing the manager and feeling out the higher ups about what they do and do not know about this 'secret' project. If it turns out that there's tacit support from above I'd consider that a big warning sign.
Go over your managers head. Go to the person who is in charge of your manager, and tell them what's going on. Inform them that your manager's messing this up with a secret side project.

I'd also be tempted to go back to your original project. If your new manager's taught you anything, it's that it is OK to work secretly on stuff without reporting to management. See if you can get the whole team to revolt.
I think he should go to the PM's boss and to request an in-person meeting to raise the issue. Depending on how big the company is, the CEO may be way too high up to have any clue about the people he's talking about; he needs to get a read on the situation based on the PM's boss' reaction to figure out his next move.
It’s a Myth That Entrepreneurs Drive New Technology
So this is how Americans unwind after a long hard day of planting the seeds of freedom and democracy.
> Americans (no, not just the American government) think their actions of aggression have no consequence and that there's no blowback.

I know it feels good to direct your outrage and hate toward the general "American," but this is no different than someone saying things like "Muslims (not just extremist ones) are violent and want to destroy Western culture." That is, you are engaging in the same kind of prejudice that underlies atrocities like this.

Many Americans, and especially those reading HN, find this every bit as disturbing as you do and fully realize its repercussions.

> And no, it won't matter if they murder civilians, too, because that's pretty much US' policy overseas, too. So in their minds, fair is fair.

It seems to me that "fair is fair" in your mind as well, and this comment, in a different way, is as unsettling as the article.
Your comment should be upvoted to the top. I think the consensus is that they originally came from a porno. The Boston Globe had to apologize for running with them when the story originally aired:

Story of my life! Except the system was our bread winner and the redesign was no secrecy. We knew something was wrong but we all wanted to see the company succeed so we kept going way after the project was late and over budget. In the end we failed and everyone competent left.

My advice will be that you leave if you can. If that is not an option then work up the courage to tell some higher ups what's going on. You will burn bridges with the manager but you will save yourself and the rest of your team from the pain of coming to work every morning knowing they are partly responsible for something bad that is about to happen.
Fuck 'em. Get a new job. Capitalism at work baby. Hire a crappy manager, capitalism means the company will lose skilled employees and go under.
Maybe there is a difference between parts of the world, but I would be surprised if airlines don't have some kind of routine to follow when an emergency is declared. And I would be even more surprised if airline pilots on Ryanair routinely used emergencies as an excuse without it having any consequences.

The only issue I've ever caused was triggering a TCAS warning for a landing airplane because I was slow on starting a turn. Even though there were VFR conditions and we were at a safe dinstance, the other pilots said they had to report it as a matter of company policy, and my instructor had to make a few phone calls afterwards.
Brilliant and insane?
Why would you argue against this reason for a warning in a discussion thread where the primary complaint is "but I'm at work" ?
If you actually want to make games, as opposed to a game engine, I would pick an existing engine. I use Unity3D, which is becoming a standard. It uses Mono (mostly C# or Javascript). It has enough tutorials and documentation to get you started. If you're already familiar with another language/environment you can see what is available for that, but Unity is both more accessible and featureful than most other options.

The second thing I'd do is participate in a game jam, once you've had time to mess around a bit:

Hah, yep, I hadn't considered it can be both.
Be very careful with this approach. You've no idea what those above know or do not know and if handled badly, it could blow up in your face.
It seems a lot of people think you can sort things out by speaking with higher managment but it looks like the organization is broken, not just the new manager otherwise he wouldn't be in a position to brake a second department.

There is a communication problem too. Why isn't anybody talking about thoses site going down ? Why is it so formal/difficult to talk about problems with other managers and other departments ?

It's unfortunate, but a few (even just one or two) guys can brake an organization when they are at the top.
You can either resign silently, or step up and go talk honestly with higher management with the risk of getting fired. In any case, you shouldn't continue working like that.

Finding a new job is easier than you think it'll be. Living in such a stressful environment is not worth it. The only thin you'll regret is not doing something about it.
I am not against an NSFW tag, of course.

I recently read "Kill everything that moves" which is about Vietnam (http://www.amazon.com/Kill-Anything-That-Moves-American/dp/0... ).

Apparently in Vietnam there was contempt for local life, massacres like My Lan were almost policy, fueled by the need to present bodycounts. But policy and incentives alone wasn't what caused this - courts martial were ineffective, even if they had plenty of evidence and the military culture encouraged massacres.

I'd have to wonder what part of this remained. Is it possible that drone strikes operators also have bodycount incentives - kill n number of terrorists, get a day off a raise and maybe a promotion.

But more importantly how much of its just "war", the real one, not seen on TV. Maybe the president of the US is right: exposing atrocities and punishing the perpetrators will expose US troops to risk; but in that case isn't the case for war even weaker? How can you claim to prevent crime when you are doing it yourself?

The problem I have with this, and with similar tools past and present, is that as you get further into them you realize how much your script starts being limited by the tool. I'd like to write about a group of handicapped kids of different races who go to a camp near a lake. Imagine how many of the characters and scenes I just described are not supported by the tool. Which shouldn't be surprising given that a script can be in any setting within this world or another one. Unless the tool has a separate procedural background tool, and a procedural set tool, and a procedural character tool, you will always find that the "does anything" tool doesn't.
