The bankruptcy scenario was always highly unlikely, the banks would have been bailed out with tax money. Just like they were bailed out with tax money in actual history, just with another name (loans to the Greek government, who gave the mo

With most reasonable VPN technologies (IPsec, OpenVPN) there is nothing that would slow down throughput other than CPU processing. And 180 Mbps is not close to VPN CPU bottleneck speeds.

A major tenet of TCP/IP and the Internet architecture is the end-to-end principle, taking the TCP/IP out of software fits poorly with the idea. Of course in the real world people have tried it, but it hasn't caught on. There

In software systems you can nudge many similar situations to give you control over what badness happens when you drive the system off the rails of the invariants. No reason why things anogous to nop sleds, heap spraying etc would not be app

I think the article structure is quite standard. It first introduces the more general concepts (parallel programming, zooming in on MIMD on shared-memory machines) and then focuses on a subset (multithreaded) while also alluding to other pa

I think you misunderstood the article re. the number pad - it argues against number pads on laptops. "Last laptop ever made with excellent keyboard design? (Lenovo Thinkpad T520, fr 2011)" - no numpad. The IBM Model M keyboard is

JS is a much better compile target for many languages for the foreseeable future. "Without JS" is not a sensible end in itself.

Another take: if you're so wound up while you're at work that you can't take a nap, maybe there is another underlying problem! Creative problem solving mindset needs room for thoughts to wander, and is incompatible with hurry

Yes. For organizations the harm is compounded because IT and users don't understand how limited AV is. They think AVs have good detection rate, and they think AVs can generally "disinfect" your computer when you get pwned, an

This is the C++ trap - you keep piling on more features to the language and then you can answer some criticisms by saying "just use this subset". But this is not how the usage of programming languages pans out. Programmers can&#x2

This doesn't use AVX512 though, and AVX512 is not supported in any mainstream JVM or CPU. It's only available in Xeon Phi, a HPC accelerator card with many slow cores.

There are so many JS/Node developers now, and I have worried that JS will ruin dynamic languages for a lot of people, so it's encouraging to hear this written about ClojureScript: "As an average Javascript/Node developer

Signing is working in your interest. You can ask to see the receipt that you signed in case of fraud. With PIN, the burden of proof is on you - the bank will say you were careless with the PIN and let other people see it, abrogating their r

Pretty bizarre that they call the 68000 an "also-ran" (twice!). But I guess this is more of a personal story than an attempt at objective computer history.
