It seems to me that you should be able to use your Fluentd pipeline in place of the forwarder component, I don't think there's any magic going on there. The engineering here seems to be in the ingest, replication, storage, and query side of things, none of which Fluentd addresses, really.
I'll tell you what, we can talk about the efficacy of the various leave campaigns when the NHS gets its 350 million a day and we have 'Sovereignty'.
Not any more, per the post, the performance boost comes from using Gmail's, Exchange's, et al. APIs directly rather than remote IMAP sync + provide REST API for the client.

Cloud now used for "much much much much less" [0] - just tracking and stuff. Sync-engine also (?) runs locally now, I'm not totally clear on how this works but there's apparently some currently closed source stuff to become open 'soon', so it should become clearer exactly what's going on.

There's also apparently some details to follow on their engineering blog [1].

I don't know how I ever missed this one when I searched for email clients. That looks like such a breath of fresh air: the download is under 10MB and it even supports GPG.

I guess I found a replacement for Thunderbird.
That's a great metaphor, thanks.
My analogy is intended to illustrate that the citizen participation in political parties is in some measure a distraction to safely diffuse the dissent energy in the system.

If you want real change to happen, you have to make the current wielders of the state's power at least annoyed.

The US is not a direct democracy. It is a republic, and the -cracy of the demo- is highly leveraged. And that's exactly how one segment of the population could abuse and disenfranchise another with Jim Crow laws.

The Democrats and the Republicans have, with their gerrymandered districts and first-past-the-post voting systems and burdensome ballot access laws, systematically disenfranchised a significant minority of the population, and tricked another significant minority into wasting their energy on their internal party politics.

That system is designed to exhaust my energy and radiate the resulting heat away into space, so that it does not adversely affect the workings of the machine. That's why those people who say "join a political party and participate in the process" can go set their heads on fire.

If your political process does not respect your voice, you should resist it, not join it. Misbehave a little. And have a little respect for those with fringe opinions on the opposite side of your spectrum that are also forced to misbehave so that their voices might be heard. There is a path to ethical misbehavior, and I aim to walk it, rather than swim the unethical cesspool of the political parties' unseen inner workings.
mboxstats[1] is pretty good for this if you're fetching the monthly archives from the web interface and desire a quick overview. It supports mbox and maildir, and can produce XML output for easier post-processing.

The mboxstats author has a variety of interesting tools on his site, if you're in to strange stats and log processing like me ;)

I've submitted it here[2] in the hope others pile in with other cool options.

> I used Nylas for a while and really liked it, until they they forced everyone to pay $7 per month to use it.

Sorry, but that isn't a fair way of describing what occurred.

Nylas is a startup, trying to figure out a business model which works for them.

You're not yet forced to pay. If you had a Nylas ID back when Pro was announced you got a gratis year of subscription. Now, they released a gratis version once more, called Nylas Mail, which is also open source. The backend is also open source.

What this means is that they've adopted a freemium model, and you got approx half a year to still enjoy your Pro license.

I haven't done a feature comparison between Mozilla Thunderbird (which I know is not everyone's preference but was my previous cross platform e-mail client), Nylas Mail, and Nylas Pro. If anyone knows one, please share.

My main concern is the backend being hosted in US by a US corporation. I don't like my data being hosted by US corporations, on US soil, and I recommend non US-citizens/residents to care about this.
Why not use Gmail as an email client?
And an obligatory link to CoreBoot, which I believe has a bit more history than Libreboot:

Dr. Ian Malcolm: John, the kind of control you're attempting simply is... it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh... well, there it is.

John Hammond: [sardonically] There it is.

Henry Wu: You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will... breed?

Dr. Ian Malcolm: No. I'm, I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way.

Since men and their bodies aren't treated as "objects to be consumed and nothing more", how does that explain why its illegal for men to be nude in public?

Or are we just saying that women's breast are disconnected objects from the woman, and its those that we treat as objects to be consume? And in contrast, mens breasts are not disconnected objects from the man and thus are not to be consumed.
Sorry, I don't believe it. I've used Windows 10 every day with zero problems, while doing complex things like running Hyper-V Android emulators, hosting websites that I'm developing with IIS and Node.js, running PostgreSQL and SQL Server...

I develop Cordova apps with no problems. I create .NET software, no problems. When I'm done I go over to my couch where I have a Windows 10 PC plugged into my TV and I play Rocket League, watch Netflix, browse YouTube, etc etc etc...

And then somebody like you comes along who can't seem to make it work.

So I guess let's have your list. What exactly do you think is broken?
Why's that? VSCode actually looks to me like a native app. It's really fast and behaves properly like any native app would. I guess most people wouldn't notice it's not native.
I'm skeptical that the FBI have the technical capabilities to turn the IME into a trojan horse (in the biblical sense). More likely NSA-levels of sophistication. Plus there's also the issue of doing the actual implants (either via postal intercepts, physical access, or breaking into networks) which are illegal for the FBI to do but semi-legal for the NSA to do against foreign targets.
Since switching from Mac to Ubuntu I've never yearned for anything more than Thunderbird. It's a perfectly useful client.
(blown away by all the responses to my original question!!!)

Your story here makes me laugh if only because of a very painfully familiar memory. Luckily this wasn't a big production system but rather an internal tool (that I guess clients did also use but it wasn't part of 'production' per se) that was written entirely in perl_cgi filled with cryptic regular expressions written in complete spaghetti code and it would concatenate together entire webpages that had bits of them rendered by including the contents of files strewn all over the file system and of course the logic to concatenate all the html together was strewn across a fistful of files which were in disparate locations. In short I was once asked to make a simple change to some html and after 5 days of reading through perl_cgi and developing a pure hatred for Larry Wall, I decided to do a java re-write that took 3 days. I mean... crikey. Haha.
Is your usage IMAP-centered ? Then I can only recommend Trojita (http://trojita.flaska.net/). There are a few quirks here and there, but it's pretty much the one application that is started when my computer starts and closed only when it is shut down. Its smart usage of IMAP makes it extremely efficient (doesn't download all of your emails just to display one, doesn't download the entirety of a single mail just to display its subject, ...). The only downside is that your usage has to be pretty close to IMAP for trojita to work best for you.
There's also a rather (£14k) pricey wheel chair

I'll definitely give this a look, although given that I use Sublime almost exclusively in Vintage mode, I wonder how many of the tips will apply.
And modern software that behaves respectfully, I'd expect, especially if it's doing something that my 100Mhz Pentium w/ 64MB (with an M) of memory used to manage just fine (graphical email client). With the bonus that newer machines can run more such programs at once, and enjoy longer battery life.

As much as I like the features, Gmail is horrible when it comes to performance. On my chromebook, GMail is the only page that significantly slows down the whole computer. Don't know how they do that, but no other page is able to slow the system down so much as Gmail.

Which is somehow funny, since the whole supply chain is controlled by them (App, Browser, OS).
Seen this a lot. A lot of companies think they are "product" companies, but due to their unwillingness to push back on customers, they become custom engineering shops, bolting on little one-off mods to their project over and over to appease bad customers (or to appease POTENTIAL customers who haven't even bought the product yet).

Stop me when you recognize this one: "Hey your product is great, but we really want something that does [totally different thing]. If you just add that thing, we will pay for all the NRE and you can sell it to others as part of your product! Win win!" Advice to junior developers: If you hear such talk in the hallway, RUN!
We have lots of tech debt (we are gradually paying it down), but we keep engineers for a loooong time (they basically don't leave unless they move) because of the social aspects of our team.

I agree.

I do really like Nylas, it's mostly a pleasure to use.

But I'm using it with Gmail which costs me like $2pm for 100GB storage; the core (with I think 20GB?) is free (at the point of use, blah-blah advertising).

Is Nylas, the thing through which I access my free/almost-free email really adding $12pm value? I'm not so sure.

Or they are aligning their prices against a psychologically meaningful breakpoint such as the increase from £7.99 to £9.99 given in the article, which happens to be about 25%, rather than a precisely 20% increase which would yield a price of £9.59.

People here are reading way more into that 5% than is remotely warranted and for ludicrously incidental reasons. What's actually happening here is very simple. Apple has been taking a hit for a while. They are re-aligning prices to the nearest logical breakpoint. That's it. All that analyst guff about Brexit downside risks because of a slight percentage discrepancy with exchange rates is just because analysts don't know crap about the real reason - marketing.

The scary thing is just how cheap it would be to pay people to sit in online communities and drive attention to and away from whatever you wanted. Even more interesting is in 10 years it'll be like it never existed. Spread some propaganda, pack up, and go home.

It's very nice to know what are the latest trends for 2017, but in my opinion it's better to know a few languages than trying to learn 13.

I do think that giving a look at other languages gives you a wider perspective and may help you become a better programmer, but don't you think that learning a lot of something makes you way more productive than learning a bit of everything?

The problem is that instead of submitting logs using a plugin (written in
Ruby) I need to (a) spawn a separate process using (b) unrelated binary.

I should have the possibility to not jump out to a separate process and
I shouldn't need to ship binary to my log routers (a plugin in Ruby or Python
is just a text, so it's easier to distribute with configuration management).

The same thing stands for querying. Now the only possible (documented) way is
to call the binary.

As I said, this is a problem with lack of protocol specifications, not with
the architecture.

I'm not sure what's especially revealing about this story. A lot of the content we already knew, except now there's more evidence of it. The marginalrevolution author wrongly suggests that "it has long been assumed that propaganda posts would support the government with praise or criticize critics of the government" and says it's surprising this paper found it wasn't. This is no surprise, others have concluded this before this has been known probably a decade.

Kudos for the authors to write this paper though, it takes courage to do this.

Apologies for the late response.

I agree with you that the macbook is more practical - but that's not the argument that Apple is making. Apple is trying to say that their devices are beautiful, innovative, and cutting edge, when that's simply not the case anymore.
To give you some context, I'll answer this as a [largely] life-long consultant. As such, I don't chase technology, I anticipate the trajectory of job growth. I want the project that I decide to work on next to propel me to a project that will likewise broaden and deepen the experience and skillset I have to offer. <p>I also try not to get trapped into working for clients whose only interest in my experience is to recreate one of the last things I did. The easiest way to kill your value is to do the same thing over and over - even twice is too much.

It's true technology progresses in dog years. When you are working you are not learning outside that bubble. When you are between assignments you absolutely must treat that time as a sabbatical to learn something/anything new.

By broadening your skillset through selective project engagement, you are better off than Skippy who has worked on the same application with great job security for 5 years - Skippy will not be someone you will re-encounter 10 years from now unless you are buying a used car and they happen to be the sales person. The industry is self-selective this way. The complacent "I got mine" mentality is toxic to longevity in the industry.

Let me also dispell the meme that sticking to a specialty is a desirable thing. The fact of the matter is that the ocean of legacy code grows exponentially and there is always a need for someone who knows a legacy language or technology. this kind of career trajectory is as desirable as cleaning out septic tanks. There's job security to be had and you'll hear plenty of "Ho, ho, ho - I don't need no stinkin' new fangled whatever" to be indispensible. My advice is not to be that guy/gal.

It is a much harder and a much richer experience to navigate a career in the flow of technology than to get myopically paralyzed by a desire to featherbed where you are today.
But your question is "how" to keep up. IMO, the answer is to skim lots of material and only dive in at the last most relevant moment. The generalist is far more qualified that the specialist these days because most companies cannot afford a prima donna - they need people who can perform many jobs and serve many needs.

Right, but I'm thinking from the perspective of someone who's been working on something for ages, gone through the stress of nearly losing it, then miraculously recovering it ... only to have found that a lot of their work was ditched. You're right that it probably ended up better, and sister comments are right in that it wasn't ALL for naught ... but can you imagine the moment you found out it was being reworked?
> I don't know why, it might just be me, am thinking of startups as a bad thing.

Having been through this runaround and the exits a few times, I don't think you find too many people genuinely recommending you go for substantial VC outside of the sponsors of this site, and even they have a pretty concrete value proposition and have the good form to tell most folks "no" if they don't need it. And I think we can all agree Clinkle and Color are cautionary takes about taking too much VC and the badwill and excessive expectations it creates around your brand.

If the scope of your project and your resources is such that you can build an MVP without taking money and then begin to sell it (in a reasonable timeframe) then you should never take venture capital. If you need money for some servers, you might even consider using a local credit union to finance it if you can demonstrate the product is working; business loans exist for a reason and their terms are much more favorable than VC for the most part. It is not 2001, it's entirely possible to get business loans for tech ventures.

You get VC (the "startup setup" I think you're referring to) when the scope of your project is such that it's not possible to really do more than fake the service.

And even then, most successful founders I talked to (and this includes my co-founder and I) faked our product before we developed it. There are famous stories of how food delivery startups, ridesharing startups, and even financial aggregation products faked it until they could afford to build it. For Level Money's part, I and the talented Danilo Campos wrote a mockup in Haskell and iOS to simulate users and the data we were interested in and model the kinds of things we wanted to demonstrate to investors.

We then took that functional mock to early investors as part of the pitch.

So no matter what, you should be building the instant you're committed to a venture.

(Aside, I should see if I can open source those mocks; nothing there is secret now and it'd be fun to share what we shared to get funding).
There are multiple cases of "killed by technical debt".

There's the case of mysterious and unsolvable breakage. The product simply stops working, and the team is unable to get it working again, period. This can happen with really ancient legacy products where the original team is gone, or young products that are written badly by inadequate teams.

There's the case of unpleasantness. A product is so difficult and slow to work on that the company simply loses interest in it, and shuts it down rather than suffering through more maintenance. This does not happen with products that are highly successful business-wise, no matter how bad the suffering, so it's really a business failure rather than a technical one.

There's real antiquation. The product is dependent on a product of an outside vendor that is no longer available/maintained. I've dealt with this on a mainframe replacement, and it was horrible. I've also dealt with this in Java, and it was plenty painful there too.

And finally, there's replacement. A product is replaced (or intended to be replaced) by a new product that does more or less the same thing, only this time with a smart new team, in a hip new language, and by the gods, this time it's not going to be stupid and suck like that piece of crap the morons on the old team built! Most of these projects fail before they ever replace the old, working code, so I'm not sure this counts as technical debt failure.
