Glad you found it interesting! Personally, I get a lot of interesting information around these kinds of topics from Twitter. In addition to @maxkriegers, the author of that comic, I think you might find some value in checking out users like

It's definitely an interesting thought. Max Krieger also explores this at some length in "Chatting with Glue": https://a9.io/glue-comic/

Oops, quite right. I’ll try and push up a correction later today. Thanks!

I have aphantasia and love the analogy to hashing. It matches my experience quite closely in as much as I can't really imagine faces in the abstract, but can verify a match in the real world with ease. Reminds me of NP-hard problems in

Sorry about this! It was a stock copyright clause provided by my university. I’ll look into getting it removed, and in the mean time am perfectly happy for you to use the work (with proper attribution) as you see fit. EDIT: The problematic

Abuse of this sort of functionality is definitely something I've thought about, but discussions around these sorts of ecosystem issues weren't my focus in this work. Ultimately, there are solutions. For starters, you almost certai

To be clear, I’m familiar with the semantic Web and did a reasonable chunk of reading about it when doing this research, but view it as only tangentially related to the ideas I talk about here. If you’re looking for citations around this wo

That's a good point, and not one that I've considered particularly deeply to be honest. (I'd love to hear other people's point of view on the topic!) I guess in many ways the situation is similar to that around adblock.

I largely agree. I'm very much coming at this from the angle of 'knowledge work', and think a system of this kind is most useful to (though definitely not only useful to!) scientists, engineers, designers, lawyers, journalist

Author here. It’s definitely true that extending existing browsers is the fastest route to this kind of behaviour (though it’s not clear to me if it’s the best route). In fact, if you squint a bit (or maybe a lot), it could be argued that w

As far as I’m aware SMT in Arm cores is pretty uncommon actually.

> First, compilers are really quite good. Yes, it's possible to beat them (I do) but generally not by much. Genuine question: what would you quantify “not by much” as here? In my experience, it's not uncommon to see 2x+ speedup

I completely appreciate that “writing hardware” is a totally different problem to writing software, and that hardware comes with its own set of quirks and challenges. I'm just saying that I don't think the CPU is fundamentally dif

Perhaps I'm reading too far into what you wrote, but I'm not sure I agree that the CPU is fundamentally different from other layers of abstraction in computer systems. All abstractions “lie” in the sense that they present a perspe

I'm not sure it's fair to say that Apple is "as bad as Microsoft" in this regard quite yet.

Around two years ago now I created a League of Legends champion information/countering website: https://www.championcounter.com/ Growth was slow but steady, and the site now receives ~1.4M pageviews per month. The mone

Switching over to HTTPS in and of itself shouldn't stop much data leakage given that the hostname - at least at current - isn't difficult to obtain (and really gives the game away for the content you're visiting as far as my

I'm not sure about "always". I run a site that provides counter information for League of Legends ( http://www.championcounter.com/ ) and I doubt very much my users will benefit at all from me moving over to HT

Right you are. Just updated the article to be more accurate on this matter.

As expected (and possibly not aided by my timing, I'm unsure), my submission hasn't really gotten much attention - the link is here if you're interested though: http://www.reinterpretcast.com/roll-your-own-cdn

It'll be on my blog, reinterpretcast.com and I'll probably tweet about it from @_joesavage. I'll probably also post to HN and Reddit, but I'm not sure if it'll gain much traction since it's so similar in concep
