Well, the trick to the game is that you have multiple cores, each with their own register and a pipeline between them. This effectively gives you six registers, since you can bounce values back from the core on an edge register.

There are also "stack" cores, which store an arbitrary number of values and allow you to pop them back off.

If you were able to expand the system to have N cores of any type, I could easily imagine someone being able to compile C down to it.
If you read the excellent Command and Control you'll see the same thing happened with nucelar weapons, each branch of the miltary had competing requirements, tried to make land grabs for control of them etc. etc.
(The post goes on in exploring the technical and commercial side of each medium. I think the title is unsuitable to the article but, as it was what stuck with me, it's what I'm going to address)

I think this is a non-question. Let me rephrase the question: "If I want to tell a story, what is the best medium to use in 2015 and beyond?".

My answer is "Whatever you want" followed by a more serious "None".

Because the choice of medium impacts in HOW the story is told. Having, for example, the Moby Dick story as a book is completely different from having it as a movie. Or as a game.

Of course the story may change slightly or have a different impact depending of the medium. Some stories work better in some media than others. Think of the story as data, and the medium as the format in which the medium is conveyed.

In a semi-related note, I want note that the big _connoisseurs_ of a medium start to focum more on how the medium is used than it's content (i.e. story stops being important, what's important is how it is told)

legitimately on both points I might add. If it's a black box, it could be doing anything, if it's a rats nest, it still could be doing anything.
Yep, sometimes that works. But I also want to give feedback to the authors of such posts, because I don't assume they consciously want to dispel recipients with suboptimal eyesight.
Having just finished the article a day or so later it occurs to me a lot of the problems occur because the situation is too darn hard to understand. 99% of people if asked to explain why increasing government borrowing in a financial crisis is a good thing in general if you have your own currency but increasing your personal borrowing is often bad would fail to give an answer that would pass an economics exam. Most elected leaders also. Hence the mess we have.
Except that now Google has my phone number linked to my identity too. I know this is not everyone's use case, but for those of us that care deeply about privacy, that's not a good alternative.

If that's not a good counterpoint, my phone/SMS service sucks when I'm traveling abroad, which is exactly when Google thinks I'm not me.

I wish Google supported TOTP like Github does, without asking for a phone number.

A standard case of mixing (or actually confusing) epistemology with ontology. That is to say that something doesn't exist until we get to know something about it. Or, by all means, knowing something about something is posterior to us being here AND that something being there. Here lies the danger of dismissing philosophy as a bag of words when compared with the Holy Science that works, bitches.

The USAAF had its best shot with 500 lb bombs, which must have chipped a certain amount of concrete. Apparently it was not a good idea for a GI to walk into French port towns with a bomb group patch on his arm in 1944 and 1945.
> First, the Pentagon hadn't learned it's lessons from all the other times they tried to make one fighter for every service which almost always has failed. (The F-4 being the notable exception.)

The F-4 was developed to be a Navy fighter and turned out to be a decent all-around fighter which the Air Force could buy. That kind of reinforces your point about design and development, really.

> I don't think the Pentagon knows what it's doing. Actually, I don't think anyone involved knows what they're doing.

All the right people are getting paid. They know exactly what they're doing.
The C64 busted open my horizons somewhere around age 11, when a relative bought me one because my parents couldn't/wouldn't. This relative "knew a guy" with a bunch of (what I soon learned were pirated/cracked) games he was able to give me. Impossible Mission was one of them. I don't remember if I finished it, but I damn sure had fun trying. It was one of those I was initially unimpressed by but came back to later. From what I've seen so far, they did a terrific job on this port.
I agree except for the back button. I hate how swiping to go back takes you back to a screenshot temporarily while the page reloads. I attempt to scroll up and down and interact with the screenshot until suddenly the page isn't how I remember it due to the reload.

It's such a terrible, terrible design and I check every new version in hopes that this would be addressed.

While I was in the aéronavale decade ago officers where pissed at rafale: for one rafale you could buy 10 F16 that where less expensive to operates. That costed so much it took on a budget for a 2nd flight carrier, which in turns makes it impossible to operate a task force, which in turns makes it ridiculous to have aeronavale in the first place.

War is also an economical concern that the russian understood: it is all about the price of defense vs attack.

So CCCP developed the crude and cheap SAM batteries that where a pain in the ass in vietnam for the USA, israel...

It does not matter if a plane is good, it should just be thought in terms of the right price compared to the opposable defense of the enemies, and the balance with other tasks.

But what is more important than winning battles is winning war, and USA clearly lack something of a peace corp that would not antagonize local population, and help to maintain peace and social concord do some genie while they ... hum not occupy but ... help other countries.

Most countries are just fighting inefficiently without doctrines nowadays which stirs instabilities.

I would prefer to support an efficient dictatorship that would win war once for all and fast, minimizing the the overall victims than inefficient/corrupted republics that seeds discord someday.

Hum, by the way, russia lowered its budget USA said it was good news: they fired officers and trained soldiers hired more sergeants. Russia is making its army fitter for war with less money.

Oh! And some antique planes Tu95? flew other UK with armed nuclear missiles in January/February this year and UK could not send interceptor because they are waiting for the F35.

Let's say that time to market for F35 is a little to long too. War is not about gadget like planes. It is about people dying, social unrest, political instabilities, resources, economy and power.

Power to send others than your family die for a cause that does not exists, to fight other poor people commanded by other powerful people. No US/Europeans/radical politicians lost kids in wars with the same proportion as the population recently, did they?

War SUX.
They don't advertise it very well, but for £15 you can buy the "All in one 15" addon which includes:

- 'All-you-can-eat' data (with limits enforced over 100GB [0])

- 300 minutes

- 3000 texts

It includes 4G where available in the UK.

In my experience the 'Feel at home' deal works great when roaming on a Three network abroad (i.e. Ireland, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Hong Kong), but on their partner networks it is horribly slow (i.e. USA).

The problem with these sorts of legislature as I've experienced is that while the theory seems quite appealing it never really works as you would expect.

Canada did a similar thing a couple years ago. The CRTC imposed a law where an individual could only incur a maximum of $50 in data overage charges locally, and $100 when roaming.

I was ecstatic when this was announced. And then one month I went over on data by $50. And then my data was cut off until I bought a "pack".

So yes, your phone bill will be unsurprising at the end of the month, but now your carrier will expect you to purchase a bucket of "roaming data" in the form of an add-on or package to your regular phone plan so that you can post your selfies with the Eiffel Tower in real time.
I think you're reading too much...

The author has thought about, analysed, and written an essay on this subject, using the word "minimum" regularly (including in the title) and not once gave a single nod to anyone earning less than £500k/year... then going on to address people that wanted to consider spending less as "frugalists".

Maybe you're right, maybe I'm just primed to think the author entitled because they self-identify as a "High net worth personal finance blogger".

If you have not heard the story of the Chernobyl divers, here it is:

http://www.foccwestlothian.com/chernobyl.html
It's a 1MW reactor. That's a thousand times smaller than conventional nuclear reactors. It doesn't seem unlikely that it could be passively cooled.

For the rest, a great source is the book Plentiful Energy, by the chief scientists of another small fast-reactor project at Argonne. For that reactor, the fuel is a mix of plutonium isotopes which can't be used for bombs and are much more difficult to purify than natural uranium ore. The waste goes back to the radioactivity of the original ore in a couple centuries.

I will happily imply that energy/mass cannot move faster than light.

Hey all,

Receiptron is a receipt-saving service that works on any smartphone. Just take a picture of your receipt, email it to a unique email address, and it's saved and can be categorized to make tax time so much easier.

I came up with the idea when I saw the giant envelope my girlfriend uses to track her art business expenses, and heard how much she pays to her tax accountant every year to sort through them. Also, I was unemployed at the time, and thought this would be a great portfolio project -- which it was! It significantly contributed to me getting a great job.

There are a million little features I'd like to add and rough edges to sand down, but I'm so close to this project that I know I lack perspective on what's important -- and friends and family can only be so critical; it's usually just empty but well-meaning compliments. I'd love to know what you all think!

I use Safari daily as my primary browser on desktop. I don't doubt it presents challenges for developers, and hope they update faster.

But, not only is it fast on OS X, the battery life optimization is amazing. I run Safari without Flash installed, and only need to pop over to Chrome once and a while.

I've come to understand Chrome is making more power consumption adjustments in it's OS X version, and look forward to seeing if it can compare, but I'd also like to see memory usage addressed.

But for me, Safari loads everything I need, save for the odd video that is only available in flash, which now happens very rarely. And for me being able to use the web browser for hours and hours each day without a similar hit from Chrome to both power and memory is worth it for me.

The article misses the point. The browser is a document viewer, not an application delivery platform. Back in 2005 we all thought that web-based applications were going to take the world by storm, but now that we have slick application stores on all major platforms, this isn’t the case.

If you need functionality like you describe, ship a native application via an app store. It’s a much better experience than web development.

I always found the notion that "If you measure it, it behaves differently" to be really confusing. When considering the double slit experiment - In both cases (whether we are observing the particle going through a single slit or otherwise observing the interference pattern left afterwards), we are in fact simply measuring 'observable effects' in both cases - It's just that we are measuring them in different ways.

If you didn't measure both cases, you wouldn't be able to compare their outcomes.
It seems that it is not about whether or not the event was measured/observed but about HOW and WHEN it was measured.

In neither case do we actually 'witness it happen' - In both cases, we are just observing effects of those events.

The light which allowed us to 'directly observe it' is as much a byproduct of the actual event as the interference pattern left behind on the surface.

Google Chrome app on iPhones still use mobile safari's rendering engine lol
As a primarily web-based advertising company, Google benefits immensely from a more feature-packed web. So does Mozilla, both because they depend on ad revenue and because they are betting very heavily on the web as a platform. Even Microsoft is heavily invested in web technologies, not only because of Bing but also because HTML5 forms the backbone of Modern (Metro) UI.

Apple, on the other hand, has no reason to want the web to flourish. They make money by selling hardware, and by managing a closed ecosystem of apps and services that revolve around said hardware. iAd focuses exclusively on apps, not webpages. Cross-platform web technologies that try to close the gap between web apps and native apps are a threat to Apple's bottom line. The more people abandon the web in favor of native apps, the more money Apple makes.

At least in the days of IE6, Microsoft didn't really care about the web. Apple nowadays, on the other hand, has every incentive to sabotage the web. I don't think it's just technological purism that makes them reluctant to allow alternate rendering engines to work on iOS. They need to ensure that apps are the only way for developers to bring advanced features to iOS users. Because they're not competing on the web like the others. They're competing against the web.
And let's remember it won't be a war.

The iOS version of Chrome doesn't use Chrome's rendering and JavaScript engines though, per the App Store rules it has to use WebKit [0]. So, any other browser app on iOS would have the same problems as mobile Safari.

Safari isn't "lagging behind other browsers", it's just implementing different things. In fact, Safari is still the best browser when it comes to everything UI-related (animations, visual effects, …). You might disagree with Apple's priorities, but it doesn't mean other browsers are "better" per se, they're just different.

Safari's release cycle, however, is stupid per se.

The definition of a web browser is enormous now. Even though Apple has massive resources, is it really fair to rant against them for not implementing every possible specification, five years old or not?

If web assembly is supposedly as fast as C, why can't we have web browsers with a smaller built-in feature set and implement new specifications as libraries?
