It is a pain to make any new platform useful enough for large adoption. Apple made a lot of effort to get MacBook M1 useable, same for AWS with Graviton. Eventually it will be adopted for Linux laptops too, even without a specific vendor focusing on it, but it will take time.

I think the goal is not achievable in our lifetime, and it is the wrong goal.

A better goal would be to focus on something computers can do better than humans, instead of trying to compete. Cars don’t look or work anything like humans, and they are a lot better at their job.

Adapting cars to humans (self driving) is “almost here” for the past 10 years. We should look for fundamental changes in infrastructure instead, with non-human rules of game that computers can play better. Maybe flying can be automated (no AI needed)?

Scala has it like this since day one. Tried to convince D to adopt it, but was unsuccessful. Glad that C++ eventually got there…

Uses stress-ng for benchmarking, even though the stress-ng documentation says it is not suitable for benchmarking. It was written to max out one component until it burns. Using a real app, like Memcached or Postgres would show more realistic numbers, closer to what people use in production. The difference is not major, 50% utilization is closer to 80% in real load, but it breaks down faster. Stress-ng is nicely linear until 100%, memcached will have a hockey stick curve at the end.

LinkedIn (also MS) has the same problem.

Also: minimum age to sign up is 16. But you need to be 18 to verify your account. And if you’re locked out, you need to verify your account and log in to open a ticket saying that you can’t log in…

Sounds like a startup opportunity. :) RackSpace for hobby projects?

NaviCat Premium worth the money

"Moving on... It's been a fantastic ride"

If it turns out to be the cause too (maybe similar to cervical cancer), it's a huge discovery.

Asimov's book on science history is an interesting read, full with similar discoveries that were ignored for many years.

Data encryption on the client side is one of the 5 features. See https://github.com/rahvee/CBcrypt and the "Tech Details Video".

"Users are able to login to servers, and encrypt all their data, without ever exposing their password or encryption keys to the server."

"And if the user's data on the compromised server is encrypted using the user's keypair, then even the users' data is still protected."

When you email a token, you're back to square 1 and will need 2 factor auth.

In addition the reset password is not possible when the data is encrypted on the client side. This is how TrueCrypt works - if you forget the password, all your data is lost.

There's an issue with passwords/keys not sent to the server: what if the user forgets the password?

No "Forgot your password?" functionality available (reset token), since the server does not store password (hashed or otherwise).

I'm saying that there are many options with non-obvious consequences, so don't try to wing it. Any mistake will cost you orders of magnitude more than a professional advice.

Here is more information than you would expect :)

I like Manager-Tools because it is step-by-step and actionable. Does not say "think out of the box" (how?), it gives you exact words that have worked for 1000s of companies.

BTW, performance based layoff list might be a legal issue in some case, for example when the reason is workforce reduction. Without a good lawyer don't go there...

Combine it with C.H.I.P. [1] and you have a $14 supercomputer.

The generic CPU could download over the air update (WiFi) and reprogram, take care of user interface etc while the FPGA can do the low-power, high throughput tasks (voice processing, video, image etc).
