Figured out what I was doing wrong in the curve25519 refactoring: the state signal I was using to dispatch register file reads also glitched high for one cycle (not sure if this is technically a glitch since it's synchronous but whatever) at the end of each main loop iteration.
This is harmless if you have combinatorial reads, but if you have synchronous reads with latency it leads to the "read data ready" signal being asserted an extra time and some extra math operation…

I went for a short ride today, and every now and then I would hear this weird “cling clang” sound, but I couldn’t figure out what the hell it was. I even stopped twice to investigate. It wasn’t constant though, just intermittent. Urgh!
Got home, took a photo, and then figured it out. Sigh…

Dunno if you’re watching #JonStewart on #theDailyShow tonight, but it’s worth taking a look at the show asap. I figured he’d be a tad riled up over the Colbert thing, but omg. It’ll be interesting to see the reaction tomorrow. Especially, as he mentioned, the same parent company owns his show. Wil…

Ah, I figured it out. Classic.
Somewhere else in the project someone is mocking one of my dependencies and overwriting the singleton instance.
So it’s wholly non deterministic whether I get a working or broken dependency at runtime.
The debugger being attached slowed execution of my particular test, making it more likely the offending one had run in parallel before I finished stepping through the code.

Darkest-ever dwarfgoby fish gets named after Darth Vader
From the volcanic fjords of Tufi in Papua New Guinea, researchers have described a new-to-science species of a coral reef fish called a dwarfgoby with an unusual purplish-black color. The tiny fish is the “darkest of all described dwarfgobies,” the researchers say in the study, naming it Eviota vader after the Star Wars villain Darth […]

What I find among the most fascinating cultural phenomena to observe is that people believe all sides are playing fair. Many, especially among the left or liberal spectrum, think that once they've just told the right argument or elaborated on the best point, alt-right figureheads will concede and see it their way.
While it's always good to be able to explain yourself, do you truly believe historical oppression and subjugation was honest?
Governments will call whatever you do equi…
