Jim Keller deserves a frigging statue in front of the AMD HQ, if he doesn't have one there already. I'm not even kidding. His efforts shouldn't be easily forgotten, and it could serve to inspire new generations of AMD engineers.

Beyond the product quality itself, I think AMD has had a pretty smart launch strategy by releasing the CPU chips first to show that it can beat "Intel's best".

But they really need to start focusing on notebooks ASAP. That's where they can steal most of the market from Intel, especially now that Intel is showing signs of (slowly) abandoning the notebook market, by prioritizing Xeons over notebook checks for its new node generations.

AMD should prioritize notebook chips either next year or the one after that, at the latest. They should be making the notebook chips first, before the PC ones. They need that market share and awareness in the consumer market.

In terms of how they should compete against Intel in the notebook market, I would do it like this (at the very least - AMD could do it even better, if it can):

vs Celeron: 2 Ryzen cores with SMT disabled

vs Pentium: 2 Ryzen cores with SMT enabled

vs Core i3: 4 Ryzen cores with SMT disabled. Or keep SMT and lower clock speeds, as Intel did it. This may help further push consumers as well as developers towards using "more cores/threads".

vs Core i5 (dual core): 4 cores with SMT enabled

vs Core i5 (quad core/no HT): 4 cores with SMT enabled + higher clocks and better pricing. Maybe even 6-core with HT, if AMD goes the 6-core route. I honestly don't even know why Intel decided to make "Core i5" a quad-core chip as well, and its Core i7 a dual-core chip as well. It's so damn confusing - but maybe that was the goal. For differentiation's sake, it may be better for AMD to have a 6-core at this level or maybe even an 8 core with SMT disabled - so same thing as Intel, but with twice the physical cores. I don't know why but for some reason 6-cores don't attract me much. It feels like an "incomplete" chip.

vs Core i7 (quad core/HT): 8 cores with SMT enabled

The guiding principle for this strategy should be "twice the cores or threads with competitive/better single-thread performance, and competitive/better pricing).

In a way it would be the inverse of the PC strategy where they maintain the number of cores but cut the price in half. This would mainly focus on doubling the number of cores (because notebooks come with so few in the first place), while maintaining similar or better pricing.

The only ones that don't really fit well in this strategy are the Celeron and Pentium competitors and that's because a dual-core Ryzen, even at low clock speeds should destroy Intel's Atom-based Celeron and Pentium. We could be looking at a least +50% performance difference, and that's what AMD should strive for there as well. AMD should show Intel what a mistake it made when it tried to sell overpriced smartphone chips for laptop chip prices.
If you're really Republican, I'd suggest you stop framing debates about social policy as "for" and "against" LGBT. Thinking that heterosexual couples have an acute and unique problem with maintaining two-parent households, for instance, isn't anti anything.

I'm not aware of any serious Republican that wants bakers to be able to ban gay customers, either. Most of these issues are drummed up to form straw men and ad hominem arguments and avoid listening to legitimate concerns. We seem to agree on that.

That is, "for" and "against" is already framing the problem in terms of identity and division and I don't think that's productive, so I'd like to find ways to rephrase the problem.
So they've made 18% value huh?
> The burden is on libertarians to explain exactly why this would not happen in the absense of any democratically elected government.

This is why libertarian constitution is designed to be simple and objective, as much as possible. Corruption can happen anywhere but libertarian governments would be among the last to have it. The philosophy also happen to rely on technology to enforce the constitution which rules out subjectiveness/corruption considerably.

Also though there are many variations in libertarianism but none of it will interfere between two consenting adults (such as buying drugs etc). Thus no wars on drugs.

App designer – become an instant millionaire
As a parent it drives me crazy that I can't monitor my teenage son's snapchat messages. Parents who actively monitor their children's social media use never get a chance with snapchat because once the message is viewed - it's gone.

Design an app that acts as a message forwarder so not only does the original user get the message but it also forwards to a second account. Therefore not only does the child - original recipient- get the message but the parent gets it delivered to their account also.

I wonder what features are intel specific (like quicksync) that Apple is is using in MacOS
There is a difference between jobs/skills and ethnicity.

The difference is the choice:

(1) One does not choose where one is born. And one cannot change that.

(2) But one can choose what programming language one learns or what type of job and how one wants to do it.

So from the first point it follows that a group of people born somewhere are protecting something they didn't had any part in creating.

I'm talking here about ethnicity or maybe citizenship, but I think it can be easily demonstrated that the place one is born will affect one's believes (religion, culture, preferences, taste) most of the time involuntarily and unconscious.

So to sum up: there is no moral high ground in protecting something that happened to you before your were born and saying that others are misfortunate because they were born in other place, as no one has a choice in that,
And this is very different, in regards to discriminatory side, than a job at a company. The company is a choice, it is created voluntarily by the people working there. So it is the result of their nurture.

Actually my reply is related to a more general argument about movement of people in the world and what is the basis of denying it.

Half-Lives of Hackers and the Shelf Life of Hacks
The headline stats are blatantly manipulated. Figure 4 of the IAPT stats summary shows that less than 42% of referred patients finish a course of treatment. 27% of referrals ended without the patient being seen by the service and 25% ended after one session of treatment.

In practice, less than 37% of patients are getting prompt and appropriate treatment. The rest are fobbed off with utterly inappropriate therapy, dissuaded from starting or otherwise nudged off the waiting list.

I've heard countless stories from both professionals and service users about blatant manipulation of the IAPT stats. Stories of referrals being "lost in the system" are commonplace. Many services are providing an initial appointment within the 6 week target, but then placing patients on an internal waiting list for further treatment. Many patients with complex needs are simply dropping out, rather than being progressed through the stepped care model.

All this is against a backdrop of massive cuts to "specialist services", i.e. anything that isn't IAPT. The story I'm consistently hearing from practitioners and patient advocacy groups is that the service is failing the most vulnerable patients with the greatest need. Patients with mild depression and anxiety are getting the low-intensity treatment that they need in a prompt manner, but patients with more complex needs are simply being swept under the carpet.

"Curious, why do you favor GPL over BSD as a user?"

Because BSD licenses are abused by the tivoization of devices far too often, and I think GPL(v3) is one of the few licenses that gets in the way of that. (because to be fair, GPL1/2 were also abused in this way, but I think GPLv3 has fixed most of those loopholes)

BSD style licenses are about freedom for the developer, not the user, whereas GPL style licenses are about freedom for the user. All devs are also users, but not all users are devs, therefor GPL licenses are for freedom for a greater number of people as well. (Can you tell I think RMS is/was right?)

Also, you can theoritcally license BSD stuff under GPL if you fork it and make the new code contribs GPL, but enforcing it would be almost impossible, so I don't think that's a valid get out of license free card.

Great Newspeak for their Office Building. In this "Office Building" approximately 70% of all the employees' time will be 1) writing emails and 2) having meetings in conference rooms. But instead it is "Apple Park" where work is leisure and being inside working is actually frolicking.
Equivalent 12-14 story buildings are not pleasant to work in; in particular there is far less natural light, so only the privileged managers get window light.

[edit] Plus: "It is also the site of the world’s largest naturally ventilated building, projected to require no heating or air conditioning for nine months of the year." That's probably tough to do with a box in the city.

There are two sides of the coin here, which should not be opposed in my opinion.

I've done a fair bit of recruiting for clients willing to build technical teams (developers / data engineers / data scientists): my experience is similar to yours in that the large majority of the technical candidates I've been interviewing have no visible trace on GitHub (either because they worked on closed source, or because they are out of school without not a lot of personal drive to work on OSS).

But at the same time, as a freelance consultant for the last 10 years, having work online available for everyone to see or use (OSS or other) has driven a lot of valuable leads to me (e.g. on my niche doing Ruby ETL http://www.kiba-etl.org/).

Last note is I agree with the premise of the article that we are shifting away from "week-end contributors". For me OSS is something I work during the day, even as a single-man shop, and something that is (if properly managed) bringing in a sizeable part of my income.

This building seems super wasteful landwise, but I guess it's in the sprawling silicon valley suburbs so no one really expects or cares about compactness or efficiency.

It'll likely be arduous for someone to move from one part of the building to the other, but I suppose Apple employees don't typically need to do this that much.

You want a MITM attack, first off I can't see apple letting an app like that through their walled garden process may be easier on android as you can avoid the play store entirely if you choose to. However whether it is feasible I have no idea, not sure why 99cents per app would cover it either, there would likely be done server costs involved in receiving and retransmit ting the message too.
Async iteration is already at Stage 3? Nice.

> no basis in law or social norms

To push back a little...

I'm generally pro immigration and didn't vote for Trump (partly for these reasons). But there are valid points to be made about:

* what a healthy level of immigration is

* what a healthy immigration process looks like

* how much should family concerns affect immigration chances

* how much should professional skills affect immigration chances

* how to enforce immigration laws

The above are entirely about law and social norms. Just because you disagree doesn't mean there are no valid points.

Not engaging those points is just retrenching people, promoting more division, and making reasonable people side with unreasonable ones like Trump. I'm gathering that most people who voted for Trump voted for the least bad option in their minds, not because they wanted a buffoon for a president.
I always say coding is the easy part of your SaaS. Marketing is hard. Don't forget customer support, which if you are really good at can fuel your sales and act has it's own marketing channel. Let's not even mention all of the other things that come into play with running a business.

I find it demeaning to make it a point that someone from a certain race "actually succeeded this time!"

It seems to me that in doing so, one also indirectly makes the point that most people from race X don't succeed.

This escalated quickly. But I would actually somewhat side with the commenters saying that it is odd to explicitly mention the race in the article. I get that it is Black History Month in the US and in that context it seems appropriate but I would question whether having a Black History Month is a good idea in the first place.

It is not obvious to me that explicitly pointing out a distinction is the best way to get rid of said distinction, be it black or white, male or female, gay or straight. It is a historical accident that one of the groups in each case was at a disadvantage in the past and that this continuous on to today with the gap narrowing slower than one may want.

So I understand that it seems warranted to give the disadvantaged group special attention to close the gap as fast as possible. But does this necessarily require pointing out the distinction in the way this article or Black History Month does? Sure, any program targeting a specific group can not totally avoid making use of the addressed distinction, but would it not be better to keep this as inconspicuous as possible?
