Isn't Zen 2 adding support for AVX512?

Unless that piece has some sort of IP beyond a license of the code being used they run a real risk of Microsoft deciding it's cheaper and easier just to rewrite their own version of that library.

Perhaps Microsoft adopting Chromium will be healthy for Chromium too then. I don't expect Microsoft to immediately keep pace with Google's browser teams but they should be able to contribute significantly to Chromium and help bala

Looks good! Thanks! As an added benefit, the pages version loads much faster than loading GitHub itself!

They could at least set it up to use Github pages then. Then you could access http://openblockchains.github.io/awesome-ico-truths

Could this be a useful model to apply to analytics and tracking? Selective sampling is already common (run X diagnostic 10% of the time). Could you say to a user of your application "Hey, we are tracking these X parameters, but applyin

Which interestingly is a problem IPFS would solve, right? But IPFS potentially introduces other drawbacks. It would be cool to able to build dual-distribution applications, where publicly available assets and content blobs (e.g. app.js) cou

I was imagining a potentially offline scenario where the blocks are physically recorded (i.e printed) and attached to the package as some kind of barcode or QR code. I suppose you could also deal with a scenario where the digital record is

So looking back at your post, I think the big difference is trusting someone's key isn't equivalent to trusting them. Trusting Alice's key just means I can trust that a statement signed by Alice's key was indeed signed&#

What would you suggest as an alternative where each step still independently verifies all previous steps? I guess you could just store it in a database and store the hashes and signatures as columns but again, that seems more like implement

I think perhaps one effective use by a central entity is to have trust centralized but proof of work is distributed. An example would be that I, as the central entity, know which public keys/key pairs I want to trust, and the proof of

Except this is an actually helpful diagram that points you towards other solutions depending on what benefits you think a blockchain might give you, instead of an (unhelpful) outright dismissal.
343.
by pythonaut_16 8y ago
Doesn't that somewhat depend on how you define a blockchain? Blockchain doesn't inherently require proof of work/stake/etc, just a chain where each block contains a hash of the previous block(s). Proof of work/stake

Has NASA developed reusable, landable rockets and then successfully landed 2 of 3 launched as a triple booster heavy rocket package? Out of Musk's companies, SpaceX is the farthest from a hype circus. They are delivering on real scienc

But they also make is easier to migrate to Windows. .NET Core is a similar play. Microsoft can no longer rely on Windows alone to pull developers and products to Windows so instead they're trying to attract developers to build for any

The simplest answer is I am the only user currently so it doesn't matter. Even with users, a short down time to bring down the old images and bring up the new images should be manageable. If I ever got to a point where that wasn't

I personally use Docker combined with a $5 droplet on Digital Ocean. This makes it easy to spin up multiple applications and sites without worrying about conflicting dependencies, and docker-compose gives me most of the benefits of orchestr

So much awful software and UX is made by taking a paper based process and directly recreating it as a digital process without re-evaluating the process itself.

Has the government "subsidized" SpaceX? AFAIK the government has been a consistent customer of SpaceX and they've leased facilities from NASA but it seems that overall they aren't being subsidized but rather patronized.

Well of course not, all of the ISP's routers were already bricked.

The ads then probably weren't good either. But they were certainly less pervasive and hostile.

I'm not sure exactly what made Ecto click for me, but once it did, it quickly became my favorite ORM/data mapper. Have you read some of the Plataformatec blog posts about Ecto?

This seems like a place where physical security keys could've be useful. Any invoice would be expected to be signed using a physical security key. The University or a trusted third party would have a list of vendor keys, signed by the

I don't think Go has better concurrency than Erlang, but go does have generally better raw performance. Ultimately I think both are good languages they just make different trade offs. If I was designing a command line app I'd prob

All (graphical) user interfaces are a lie. The only real question is whether they're lying to benefit the user or not.

I think this is the wrong mindset. A better one would be: "Hire good developers. You can invest in teaching them whatever technology your company uses and/or built." Otherwise you end up with companies that hire good develope

I looked at Dokku and Flynn for personal (single host) projects and find both to be too complicated for my needs. I generally prefer deploying Docker containers over Heroku buildpacks. I ended up just running a single Digital Ocean droplet

Kinda a cool idea in a Stargate-y, Ancient Astronauts kinda way. It could easily be the origin of a story of the first interstellar star-ship from Earth traveling across the cosmos, only to reach a planet already inhabited by a human civili

I appreciate that your conclusion was that the starting position helps determine the strategy necessary for success, rather than your starting position already determining your ability to succeed. A lot of comments in these kinds of threads

And the flaw with your perspective is that if we all followed this advice, we might have a few highly polished bullet proof C libraries to use, but we'd still be stuck writing C and following all of its paradigms.
