Namecheap support has been sketchy recently. I tried to add an IPv6 glue record through a ticket recently, and didn't get any response whatsoever after about a week. The only way I was able to get an answer was to use their live chat feature.

The bright part is that tight loops are almost always going to be coming out of the ~1500 µop decoded instruction cache or the 28 µop Loop Stream detector. These have the same issue limit of 4 µops per cycle, but count both macro- and micro-fused µops as 1. I'm not certain how they are treated at retirement. Is it the same?

A big surprise to me recently was learning that having the number of µops in a tight loop be a multiple of 4 can make a big difference. I put up what I think is a mind-bending example last week: https://gist.github.com/nkurz/1ecb46486746c4e078b3
Perversely, in this example making the loop slower actually has the effect of making the run time faster.

UBS CIO: Blockchain Technology Can Massively Simplify Banking
I spent a few days in the Stripe office with my team (Hey guys!) and I can tell you with certainty that they have a very strong collaborative team. They actually have a really great culture that they actively try to build (thanks for including us while we were in town!). Fridays are particularly awesome.

Anyway, my point is that I never got the feeling like people say "it's going to be this way, no questions", but also got the feeling that if a superior did say "look, I know you guys feel this way, but we are going in this direction and the deadline is X" that the team would rally behind their leader and support their decision.

I do blame Walmart for wanting that extra 2% profit because they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Remember the time when gas stations charged more for credit card transaction? Well no more. Rather than fight the uphill battle, gas stations slowly raised their prices cover credit card transaction fees.

Same thing happened with most retailers. Many used to have $20 minimum for CC transaction years ago. That slowly went down to $0 for most places. Now you have people pay for soda with their debit cards.

People forget that retailers benefit tremendously from credit cards because studies have shown that people spend substantially more when they charge things on card, versus when they pay cash.

Well, now that Walmart business is hurting, they want to squeeze credit card companies. Even if they were able to cut CC companies out, the extra profit would eventually go away through competition.

I don't code anymore. I just press a button and the ToDo app appears. The framework I use is from the year 2040, it communicates with itself in the past so it's able to learn instantaneously.

The history of the framework shows that on many different projects it actually just waited until people completed the project, then sent a signal back through time to inform itself. But then, the internal history shows that many parts were eventually replaced by an AI that wrote the whole app.

It seems from what I was able to gather about its source code, some parts of it are in a quantum flux, with their waveform never collapsing. The parts that have stabilized are basically a stable-point solution of a time-space "differential equation". Those are the parts that are being executed on this quantum computer.

Basically the result is ... whatever I wish for, it just produces it. Truly amazing.

Do you have any requests for it?

Good article, but the depiction of stack vs. heap as "the price is you must now remember to free() memory or take a performance hit on a garbage collector [...] stack and heap: performance vs. flexibility." isn't quite so cut-and-dry. You can always grab large chunks of memory and perform allocation out of it yourself with decent performance and some determinism or pre-allocate space on the stack before calling a function to allow it to pass back a limited amount of dynamic data. Memory allocators are designed for good performance in most cases, but given a more specific case, you can usually do something better yourself :-)

Nitpick: although base 10 floats have similar issues related to being of limited precision, they are superior to base 2 floats in the aspect of representing decimal numbers without the binary approximation: e.g. 1/10 is nonrepeating as 1.0 x 10^-1 but infinitely repeating as binary, so for IEEE 754 binary32 you get 1.10011001100110011001101 (1.60000002384185791015625) x 2^-4.

> Why in the world do you tell Fitbit that you are a) going to sleep, and then b) you are now getting up?

It made more sense on the FitBit One, the previous device. It had to go in a special arm band at night to do that feature.

At this point I hate this feature because I accidentally press the button on my One and it decides that means I sleep-walked for 6 hours in the middle of the day. There is no way to turn the tracking off totally, I just have to watch and remove the errant data when I accidentally trigger it.

> With my Shine, I can replace the standard 2032 battery every three months. So I replace it, and forget it. With Fitbit, I'd have to take it off every 4 days or so (depending on usage). The "lasts a week" thing is a lie.

My FitBit One lasts a week, but it's a bigger device and could hold more battery. The 'children's FitBit' (the Zip?) also does the 2032 battery thing and lasts months.

> I have the Aria too, that product I still like, and I still use the Fitbit app just for that. I wish that could integrate with Healthkit.

Thank you. I searched earlier and that information is surprisingly hard to come by.
Let's try to fool a wave function: Let's take
one, run it through a beam splitter, take the
two halves, and put one in a lab that is standing
still and has a normal clock and the other half
in a moving lab, a space ship, with a slow clock.

But, we want the wave function to be of a particle
that also has a clock. So, let the wave function
be that of an atom of a radioactive element
with a short half
life.

We get in our space ship and travel at, say,
90% of the speed of light, let the particle
go, let it encounter the beam splitter, let
one half of the wave function continue to
bounce around inside our space ship with a
slow clock and let the other half exit the
space ship through a window, enter the
lab that is standing still, and bounce around there.

Then the question is, what is the half life of the
particle? Is the expected time, in the clock
of the normal lab, to decay different for decays in the
space ship than that for decays in the lab that is
not moving?

I'm sure this is all wet in some sense, but

You can program any IR remote (like, for instance, your TV remote) to act as your AppleTV remote. Much more convenient than using the provided-by-Apple remote.

Of course to teach the Apple TV you'll need a working remote or mobile app, so if you don't have any iOS devices you may be out of luck.

Creating an iOS Custom Control Using Swift and Auto Layout
It is very much a matter of interpretation. The notion that "measurements made in the present can create the past" is not generally accepted by physicists.

Furthermore, any idea that is put forward in terms of "X (a well-known concept) does not really exist" is almost certainly gibberish masquerading as hype. Of course time exists. If time is "really" an illusion it is still a perfectly real phenomena that is created by perfectly real causes and which results in perfectly real responses in knowing subjects who then mis-interpret their cause.

Illusions are real. When we see impute a bend in a stick that passes through the water's surface we make a mistake, but the bend is perfectly real: it is just that the bend is in the light that passes between the stick and our eye, not in the stick itself. Anyone who says the bend is not real has to explain how is it that we see it. We cannot see what is not real, although we may on very rare occasions misinterpret what we are seeing (we know the occasions are very rare because if they weren't we would have no ordinary, non-illusitory experiences to contrast illusions with.)
Wow, I had no idea that happened. Here's a link for the lazy...

The main goals of these "hints" is to

1) Release the information to the public.

2) Not be on the official record of releasing such information.

Maybe Justice Dept. doesn't want to be on the record about not towing the party line or not being "tough" on leakers, but at the same time, it perceives the public is getting a little fed up with these NSA shenanigans. So they don't want to make it official, as it would seem as the executive branch is devided in its public stance.

So they test the waters by releaseing an "anonymous" hint like that and then see what happens.

This also, interestingly, can serve as a hint-hint to the NSA management to tone it down a bit, as Obama is getting some bad rap about this and so on. Sometimes the most direct message is not a direct message but through an anonymous hint like this. (Directed both at media, people but also government agencies as well).

This is nothing new and is tried and true PR technique.

I suspect that 0.5% is not the fraction of searches that most Congress members voted for when authorizing this law after 9/11 --

"The 2013 report confirms the incredibly low numbers. Out of 11,129 reports only 51, or .5%, of requests were used for terrorism. The majority of requests were overwhelmingly for narcotics cases, which tapped out at 9,401 requests."

This is always the case with these kinds of authorizations - a few years pass, people forget, and suddenly an anti-terrorism "narrowly targeted" drone strike via the "disposition matrix" becomes the go-to strategy for all police SWAT teams.

Exactly one of the major issues blocking consumer-level adoption of decentralization technologies. Centralized trust is just too darn convenient, especially wrt backups.

As with most ideological debates, the middle ground is probably the most amicable. Bigger crypto-nerds than me will have more fleshed out ideas, I'm sure, but there are ways to have a hybrid centralized/decentralized approach. One algorithm I've heard tossed around, for example, is shamir's secret sharing. Basically you can split a key between different parties... no one party/dealer/mechanic/DMV has access to the family jewels, but you can reconstruct the secret with 3 of the 5 pieces or whatever threshold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_Secret_Sharing

The challenge is, like you say, to make all this magic enough that it becomes consumer friendly. Much more fulfilling a UX gig than designing virtual farms, though.

Sales is sort of an analog, but really the CEO's goal is to delegate everything, not just the things that he/she would otherwise excel at. In this sense, the CEO even delegates coding.

The CTO, on the other hand, ought to retain some skilled role or else risk becoming a middle manager. I'd imagine this goes for most other C-level or VP positions that aren't the CEO, so maybe some role comparisons can be drawn against those (e.g. CTO vs CFO).

I think some of the most interesting findings is how focused the government is on tackling the drug trade.

You have to wonder, what is the fear of drugs which is driving this? Would a nation with unrestricted drug trade would descend into anarchy and lawlessness? That productivity would tank, and all our money/growth would shrivel up? Are they wrong? It does seem like this would be more terrifying than a few civilian deaths from terrorist attacks.
Unfortunately the platform makes the annoying solution easy, and the one you prefer hard.

D'n'd and forms give full access to the image data relatively easily, and it works completely client-side without server's involvement.

OTOH due to same-origin policy getting data from a random URL on the Internet is (intentionally) hard. "Simple" proxying via own server is tricky to do without accidentally building tool that could be abused for DoS or anonymous download of something that you wouldn't want to be associated with.

> someone could still get you to press the button out of range and copy that value over the air, and then use it on your car. But perhaps there is a scheme to avoid that too.

I'm not educated in this field. But, I believe there are schemes to allow two parties to demonstrate to each other over untrusted channels that they share a secret (here, the codes generated when you physically plug your fob into your car), without leaking the shared secret.

If memory serves, connecting to SSH without a password uses such a scheme.
Although I don't think there is any web-based IDE that currently exists[1] that provides a remotely acceptable level of usability (even for web development), I buy into the dream.

I would love to code right up until 17:15, then go pick up my kid, have dinner, play with his trains or Duplo blocks, and then at 18:45 when my wife takes the kid in for his bath, be able open my laptop at the dinner table and get right back to the work I was doing, with the same code editors and test cases open, breakpoint on the same line of code, and take advantage of that 23 minutes or so by picking up right where I left off.

I used to just have a beefy workstation dialed in at my office, and do all my coding there. When I got in the zone, I'd just stay as long as I wanted.

It was having kids that broke that arrangement for me, but I can see how it could be different things for other people. The change is that I now have things I have to (and want to) do, that require me to be certain places at certain times. So being able to code anywhere, with all my state preserved, would be terrific.

It's not so much about setting up the development environment (although that is actually pretty annoying for me this week, with the 4 Macs I regularly use all being upgraded to 10.10). It's about being able to just drop what you are doing RIGHT NOW and leave that window open with the half-written line of code, not even compiling much less something you want to check in, and then picking it up again right from that spot, when you are physically somewhere else.

That's the dream anyway. The reality is that I just mostly code less these days, and do more of other things (like writing) which are actually totally portable using current technology. But I would like it if someday my dev tools could keep all my developer state in the cloud, and yet have UX as good as the leading native IDEs. We aren't there yet, though.
