I'm definitely going to review your work. You/it seem/s pleasingly enthusiast and just brilliant ! The names you mention, from Haskell to Rust passing by Julia... if Go indeed "is the right balance"... well it real

Ahh, errors. A programmer's best friend or enemy or both? I may be a rookie, but I'll say this: - A few years ago I chose to learn Python "The Hard Way"[1] because I already had experience with scripting and a little bit

OK, I understand better. I was indeed thinking of whatever piece of code hits the metal last before kernel (including kernel actually), I see now that was badly worded in GP. This does strikes me as an interesting perspective though: > a

One great thing about internet is that it allows us to move the spotlight in geography. It's very telling, reading this, that (at least Western/North) Europe (and Japan and some other rich countries) are a much different place for

Ha! interesting, thank you for the link. Edit: skimming through the paper, really really solid material. Much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I hadn't found some of these last I tried... Thank you SO MUCH!

Hi, I'm not sure if you'll get this late reply. First of all, thank you so much for your kind words, they mean the world to me, and for your interest — which is now reciprocal, I want to hear about you as well!.. I must admit I&

Thanks so much for all the food for thought and recommendations. I had a hunch for "capable of recovering", and now I have a clearer roadmap (some critical steps). I see your way of thinking. This in particular: > Think in ter

Very interesting! Duly noted, thanks for the pointer.

Exactly what I needed to hear, thanks again. I reckon the only way to error-free is redundancy, i.e. 'out of the box' we just put two boxes, or actually three for "high availability"; the underlying controller being ju

Oh thank you for pointing that out! There is also a lack of indices and exponents, among the most importants (can't remember but letters like i, x or n).

Indeed, and thanks for the info. Makes sense, definitely. Basically just a layer of abstraction like in-game currency in virtual worlds, only this one has some 2.2b 'players' so the in-world PayPal is one hell of an easy way to tr

If you may spare a minute, I'd like to know your opinion on mission-critical software in dangerous-prone contexts (such as avionics, life support, even just economically for permanently-written "ROM" software, etc). Formal me

Worth noting however that Facebook could register some entity as a bank and operate the Libra service from there (even sharing offices with Fb, that's not illegal afaik). They would fall under all possible kinds and manners of banking

Welcome to the wonderfully paradoxical task of organizing and controlling secret services and jurisdictions in an otherwise democratic state. Most countries do it by subordinating secret agencies to a military division of sorts, wherein mar

Plot twist: zooming out of the USA, you've just described most countries. Incidentally, countries as a concept may greatly distract the so-fragmented public from many a no less fundamental problem...

He's a giant, no question about it. I just hope the people involved in RISC-V are collectively able, as an industry, to deliver the kind of fabrication process backbone funded by great products 'agressively' marketed that saw

Just to point out that human "smashing keyboard" is far from random. Even if it weren't due to the keyboard's fixed layout (between two smashes), it's largely because of our non-random nature — a human being cannot

I don't really know what you mean by “more accomplished people than Keller” but I sure do share your overview. My point was more that economies of scale happen with killer products (e.g. how CISC won over RISC back in the 90's, it

I'm seriously hoping he gets on board a big RISC-V project eventually, and contributes to pull this baby off to the races.

Typically very little. Most current CPUs integrate some variation of the Advanced Encryption Standard instruction set (AES, AES-NI, etc), so just like H.264 or H.265 decoding, it can be very, very efficient with custom instructions (magnitu

Is your ultimate interest more in game dev or the 'classic' Go problem space (servers, concurrency, scaling, etc.), or both maybe? Like what would your 50th project be, ideally?

There's a nice plot stemming from there. “A rogue big tech employee puts on a grey hat to orchestrate a hack + personal blackmail on government officials, to instill a deep fear out of them and make them realize the folly of refusing e

110% agreed. Anything that helps 'lateral' access to a knowledge base is helpful, because you don't need to go through all the bottom-up (learning) or top-down (prior knowledge) to explore and reach a given problem space. You

Amidst this worrying trend of shallow research, begging for petty cred and grants more than knowledge, you have to wonder what has become of ethics, of integrity in science. Globalized academia needs some soul-searching, IMHO.
