It kind of reads like you have discredited frequency domain compression algorithms. FYI JPEG used a block-based DCT which is very similar to a Fourier transform.

> Everyone expects these values to be scoped inside the loop, but go reuses the same memory location for every iteration.

I don't see this as surprising as a C++ user. Who is 'everyone' here?

What I think would be more effective is strategically placed range sensors that shutdown the ATM if something covers them for a period of time.

In the US

Superficially, the infrastructure needed to run Alibaba's retail website seems similar to the infrastructure needed to run Amazon's retail website.

What do you think Alibaba does?

What does sufficiently Turing-complete mean? I thought a system is, or isn't?

Let's talk about the content of this demo, not the implementation.

Can you speak for an entire country?

Who do you expect to be able to use this information? Yes, basic high-speed electronics experience is required.

I disagree. Standalone gerbers aren't terribly useful for hobbyists, and you'd have no luck opening an Allegro project even if they released that (which they wouldn't due to in-house component libraries containing supply leads etc.)

This remains an excellent reference design to build upon. The world of PCB design is more labor intensive, but this would be perfectly simple to reimplement using hobby-level PCB software.

And a USB rootkit bundled in for free!

No one in Silicon Valley gives a crap about desktops, all the growth is in mobile.

Nice list, but I was confused by the arguments to the dict .get() example until I looked up the definition.

I wish he would comment more on what he finds wrong with HDLs?

I fail to understand why using a HDL for a digital ASIC is fine, but using one for a FPGA in the context of acceleration is not.
