In the Spectre paper they note that while Chrome degrades the resolution of `performance.now()`, they were able to get a timer with sufficient resolution by using a Web Worker (thread) which repeatedly decrements a value in shared memory. As far as I know the EVM intentionally doesn't provide any concurrency because execution must be deterministic, and it seems doubtful that any kind of message-passing from outside the contract would be fast enough to provide the resolution needed.

However, the block-lattice cryptos like RaiBlocks that find a way to build in concurrency and shared memory might be different.

Yes, they would have been better off leaving out this "cycling" bit altogether.

All these anti-Bolshevik treatises of late merely profit from the decay and ruin of Left-wing consciousness and culture that has taken place in the last century. The old Bolsheviks I once knew would have laughed at this "thesis". But who is around anymore to argue against it?

This is basically what they've done with EDI/X12 over AS2, which was also mandated by HIPAA. The problem is that EDI is a pain to work with as a data format and hooking up to other trading partners can take weeks of coordination between IT teams (sending "implementation guidelines" back and forth). When EDI is the alternative it's not hard to see how the fax machine survives.

To get live data from ICE--the exchange that withdrew the request--I'm currently paying a broker $120/month.

By comparison, just about every crypto exchange currently offers push feeds and historical data for free. In most cases you don't even need to sign in.

In some sense this is a measure of the immaturity of crypto markets.

But it's also a reminder that with main institutional players moving in, the barriers to entry will go way up.

We'll probably start to see more brokers and vendors and more consolidation/buyouts of the crypto exchanges.

Such a relief to see the word in a headline with its actual meaning.

Plus, the pictures are sublime.

As a younger programmer, speaking honestly, it seems to me a significant part of the motivation behind Rust evangelism has to do with distinguishing yourself against older colleagues who have 20+ years of C systems programming experience. When you find yourself in a field that's supposed to be new and fast-moving, yet you're stuck in a junior position waiting for the old guys to retire, potentially for years, as if you're a journalist or academic or something, it's not hard to see why people look to develop a different skill set.

I had really bad sleep issues for years and what finally fixed it was not keeping my phone, laptop, or desktop anywhere near the bedroom. When I was younger I would fall asleep quite naturally no matter what I was doing or where. But now, even if I wasn't on them, having them near to hand would keep me up. They sort of sabotaged that in-between phase, just before you fall asleep.

If the question "How would you turn Twitter around?" is being asked in public with tons of people giving great answers, I'm sorry but you have a major leadership problem.

SES also down.

Does anyone know what's going on inside the White House in terms of who is working on these drafts and why the first differs so drastically from the second?

We have no reporting on this, only these "leaked" drafts.

The two drafts differ substantially. I don't see how the difference has much to do with the immigration order debacle. That certainly happened in the meanwhile but if anything it seems the second draft has changed to reflect the confirmation of new "agency heads".

The second is noticeably less ambitious too. It's written as if to have little to no effect whatsoever on the status quo.

Is the DC ruling class still crying about their loss?

I think we'll see more stratification on the internet in the coming years with subscriptions, etc.

There's probably even a market right now for a paid version of reddit or HN.

The sad fact is that the internet has gradually become a shithole as the entirety of humanity has joined in.

Twitter, for example, is being dragged down by low quality user accounts that add nothing but noise. It's actively hurting the stock price.
