Anandtech still does that, just no longer written by Anand himself ( He is working in Apple now ). So the writing aren't as good. Even though the technical details are still there.

One of the problem is that the market for these kind of review are very much a niche. And just like all forms of free media, if there aren't enough page view they stop doing it.

I have always thought some of these media will consolidate, I mean I only ever read Anandtech, Servethehome and some Ars, and that is about it. I have RSS Header news feed from a few other sources such as Tom's hardware, Engadget but if Anandtech cover the same topic I always go there first.

Not only has that not happen, most of these website manage to stay afloat catering for different market. But I have no idea how the market segmentation works. I could tell site like Wcctech is sort of 100% rumours site with very little if any technical knowledge in writing. And yet it gathers huge amount of audience.

While others like Tom's Hardware seems to have retain enough of its news reader to become sustainable.

Really dependance on the kind of amp you tot. For older tube amps, this is a major concern indeed because they drive by current, not voltage, thus exploding the voltage when there’s no path for the current to flow. Modern class D amps don’t have this problem, those just hate short circuits as they drive by voltage.
Filfre is a great resource, an exhaustively researched one man work of love and a veritable rabbithole for who grew up on games in the eighties. Check out at the very least the articles about The Hitchhiker's Guide, about Elite and, one of my favs, about the curious creation story of Neuromancer (the game), which surreally enough involved LSD guru Timothy Leary.

I often respond to those emails, and get redirected to some customer service. So I've stopped responding to them.

It feels like an automated process where some founder contacts you 7 days after you stop using an app, and often these emails can get a little whiny.

What's worked for me is forums and chat. If you're advertising your product on a forum, see what people say. Chat rooms integrated on a site are a great place to just lurk and passively get feedback.

There was one game I played where the chat was so active it would move off the screen in half a second. But it was filled with user sentiment and feedback.

Tools like that are a core part of the design process. You write that software along with the choice of parametrization of the design. It's not an off the shelf thing. But yes, that's how it works.

It's also important to note that decisions like this are hugely workload-specific. There's no single best processor for all applications. In extreme examples: almost every transistor on a vector SIMD unit is wasted when trying to optimize for a client Javascript benchmark; streaming symmetric encryption gets no benefit from L3 cache (which is like half the chip these days!); etc...

You're very welcome to join the EXTRA working group at IETF and propose the extensions that you think would make IMAP better. Apart from working on JMAP, I have also written an extension to IMAP and may write another one next year bringing some of the push stuff from JMAP back to IMAP as well. But JMAP is based on many years of working on servers, middleware and (at least on the web) clients.

We did actually extent IMAP with some experimental stuff first (cross folder threading and thread collapsing for example) but it never solved the batching and proxying difficulties and the cost of instantiating message numbers per-session that are un-avoidable parts of the IMAP model. By the way, engineers who work on other servers have said similar things to us - IMAP is costly to implement in terms of server resources when you're doing true concurrency, high availability, etc.
I don't know if I agree with your premises or conclusions. I think employers prefer engineers who are effective and have a past track record of success. For some companies, some of these are going to have a "can't rip my keyboard out of my hands" characteristic, but I've mostly found that working on software outside of work has minimal correlation with productivity.

Engineers that are steadily growing and continuing that professional growth may work on things outside of work. But they definitely ensure that whatever they do at work, in those 8 hours a day when they're on the job, is in large part contributing to that.

IMO, that's 99% of it. Engineering off the job or on a side project? It indicates a certain degree of intrinsic fascination. But if that's targeted in the wrong direction, it can result in someone being distracted and building the wrong thing really well. It varies.

This is a really informative comment, but the OP explicitly excluded the three strategies you mentioned. (There’s a blurb about ignoring “alpha” strategies, and he only went back 8 years).

I read this article more as answering the question “Did anything useful come out of the last few batches of finance PhDs?”, than “Are investment strategies are totally futile?”
That works until their cumulative prerogatives shut you out of your chosen career because they're discriminating against you. Discrimination is simply avoiding the thing you don't prefer because you have a preference for something else. If you discriminate against enough people, it becomes a problem for people who don't fit into your prerogative.
It's much worse than that because kanji are not even words. The same kanji can appear in multiple words with absolutely nothing in common neither in meaning nor pronunciation. So the use of learning kanji is very limited vs learning whole words for example.

https://jmap.io/#push-mechanism JMAP going to use rfc8030 push for mobile (3rd party service for notifications, really?) and EventSource (kind of http long polling) for desktop clients, as I understood. I don't like that idea, it's even worse than IMAP4 IDLE. Why not just WebSockets for mobile and desktop clients?

Or just building it on top of XMPP protocol (or any other chat protocol).
The graphics on the screen are honestly something I have never payed attention to. What really bothers me is the way the interface bounces you from touch screen to physical key pad a couple times.

At my local station, the final step before you actually get gas flowing is to push the "Enter" button on the physical keypad, which also happens to be right next to the "Call" button which if you accidentally hit it (wearing gloves, too fast, etc) you get the tinny disembodied voice asking "can I help you?" instead of gas.
I have been weigh which is the easier language to write lexical, parser and code generation for a new programming language. Is C or C++ the idea to start?

To compile to machine code, not bytecode.
To be honest, JSON is pretty reasonable. The parsing speeds are very good, the grammar is a lot simpler than SMTP/HTTP/IMAP, it actually has numeric and boolean types.

It is no surprise to me that the two people here complaining that IMAP is somehow acceptable don't even use it.

JMAP solves real problems inherent with IMAP, particularly on clients that are not suitable for local archiving of messages (hence, ODMR/POP is not an option), and where IMAP sends considerably more data than the client actually uses (making it slow).

I don't like the use of JSON for local IPC, as is showing up in some systems, but for RPC over an unreliable network, JSON is more convenient than not.

As for the use of HTTP, it's not ideal in my view, and I tend to think it's overused. The one argument though, is that it allows JMAP to go over port 443 to a host that has an existing https service on that port (since you likely have a reverse proxy, probably NGINX, as your listener anyway) without having to send a bespoke upgrade request, which defeats the simplicity benefits of a custom protocol, since you have to implement HTTP to do the upgrade.

Yeah, it looks like seniority is the dependent variable. It also looks like it's the monotonically increasing variable. Seems like it should be on the X axis.
If the records were rising by 1 degree per year we would already be toast. That the increases are so small means that we'll only be toast in a century or two instead if nothing changes. modulo tipping points.
Outlook is known to have a horrible IMAP implementation.
Not necessarily. If you too are a junior, and you're in charge of them, it could mean you have a problem. If you know what areas you don't know and your learning-how-to-learn skills are good, you can still be fine if you find folks to help you. But there's still a high risk to make a mess.
Maybe one of the write ups of AMD's presentation at hot chips next week will have what you want.

To be honest, though, I don't see a substantial difference between the haswell article you linked and the Zen 2 article, provided you are willing to look past the AMD slides. The haswell article is also just "putting the presentation slides into words," just from IDF 2012 instead of AMD Tech Day 2019, and apparently the author felt a need to do the block diagrams themselves.

(Also, FWIW, Agner's manual does have a literature section for Ryzen, it is just not numbered for some reason).

I've had both. Coaches are great - the main reason we hit PMF within 2 weeks.

But sometimes you need someone emotionally invested in it. Cofounders are much better. They don't necessarily have to have 50% share. I'd be happy to take on someone whose sole purpose is to be the customer surrogate and give them a 20% share.

My cofounder helped to keep a leash on me doing really dumb things. All good entrepreneurs are relentless, and a cofounder helps to keep it in perspective. Also a cofounder adds their network, and my minority share co-founder landed the acquisition.
If you want to go that route, why not write a detailed blog post? Or a white paper in an archive? Or a GitHub repository? Not putting anything out there seems awfully unproductive.
>>"The drop in productive capacity is the motive, but not the means;"

Ok, I though we were talking about the final cause of inflation, not the mechanism, maybe you had something else in mind.

Now, if half of the productive economy disappear overnight, inflation is going to happen whatever the government do. You make it look like a government have an option in that situation.

If tomorrow morning half the fields and factories in the USA have magically disappear you will have inflation. In those circumstances, what sense would make to say that the "government is guilty because they printed too much money"?

Maybe you can tell me some example where something so catastrophic to the real productive economy happened like in Germany in the 20's or Zimbabwe and where inflation didn't happened.
I've started defining the bits necessary for storing push subscriptions: see

https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/commit/7144a747267c...

But it's rudimentary - it will need sql_db and dblookup components to make it fast enough to integrate with an mboxevent reading component to do the actual pushes. At least - that's how we'll probably implement it at Fastmail, and there's a plan to extract the key parts of our non-blocking push daemon and lift them up into the Cyrus project.

Contrast this with free software (eg blender which is gplv3) where the license grants users the freedom to use the software for any purpose, even purposes that the software authors do not approve of. So it seems silly to say autodesk is evil because of who they allow to use their software in a comment on an article about software which explicitly chooses to make no restrictions on their users.
Wow, unexpected reference to Popcorn. I had no idea it was connected to anything else, let alone Alone in the Dark. I remember trying to puzzle out a lot of Popcorn’s menus and documentation since it was all in French. It was like Arkanoid, with power-ups designated by a letter, but all for French words — “V” for an extra life is one I remember. I made myself a little cheat sheet to keep by the computer. This was on an XT/CGA era DOS computer.

(Also the Alone in the Dark backstory is fascinating as well, but the Popcorn reference caught me off guard.)

P.s. i am a big fan of concept and mind maps but the narrative mode outperformed them in my experience.
Also it seems to me modern scientists has this habit of declaring that wolves doesn't attack humans.

This means any account of that can be dismissed as untrustworthy, meaning there are no trustworthy accounts of wolves attacking humans.

At least this is my feeling here in Norway.
HTML5 Server Sent Events are better than long polling, and they're about as old as websockets, but simpler, as they maintain the concept of HTTP resources whereas websockets replace the concept. HTML5 SSE is also easier to implement.

Not hating on websockets, but saying HTML5 SSE is outdated tech is just wrong. If you were making a real time app that works over HTTP either would be fine.
While I agree, that there is nothing in the article about it: The coincidence of this and the election (which I didn't know about before), at least provides one possible explanation as to how people robbing a store can paint the very owner of said store as racist, especially since they also assaulted him.

If I recall correctly, times were heated after the election and many people (especially on the left) were pretty outraged at the prospect of living in a more racist America for 4 years.

Other than that, you are right: Facts people, stick to the facts.

I Find Consulting Clients (2015)
Brand Fountain of Youth
I do hate this fashion of tunneling everything through HTTP, but then:

- Email protocols are all shit. The email ecosystem still didn't evolve into a format where we can safely transit binary data around. It is still risky to rely even on octet encodings, so there is very little binary data on emails anyway, it's mostly 7bit strings.

- The numbers in emails are nearly all strings. The very few integers are encoding content length and are not necessary with HTTP.

- We have much better odds of having message push that actually works everywhere with an HTTP protocol, mostly because many of our computers are configured to serve ads first, and ads use HTTP push.

That said, I do look forward into all the interesting problems HTTP will create for large emails.

"SFTP is though (poorly named, it is based on SSH rather than the FTP protocol), but no web browser that I know of supports SFTP."

For a time I was using Konqueror with fish:// URLs as a SFTP browser and it worked very well and made me happy ...

I am not sure if that workflow still works but most rsync.net customers that I interact with are using sshfs on top of FUSE and mounting ssh resources as a local filesystem - so no browser involved.

Well... I do code outside of work, and learn things outside of work, but those are rarely (if ever) the things that my current employer can immediately turn a profit on. These days, for example, I’m trying to broaden my understanding of the Linux kernel, which isn’t something I’m going to apply to my regular Java development job. So, preferring programmers who also code outside of work is one thing, giving them coding assignments to complete outside of work (which is what they’re really doing) is something else entirely.
Sure, there are bad examples. But this example has fine writing. In general the NYT articles have fine writing. But they also have great photographers, access to remote locations, etc, so they make it interactive. It's a bonus.

Seymour Cray: An Appreciation (1997)
Read No Shortcuts [1]. But in summary, determine the group of people you want to organize (a bounded group, not "everyone"), reach out to people (face to face conversations), identify community leaders who are on board, try doing a small bit of activism, and see what percent of your target group showed up. Identify leaders who got people to show up, and look for different leaders where they didn't work. Repeat, using any success as incentive to get more people interested in participating next time.

> There are many legends about Seymour Cray. John Rollwagen, a colleague for many years, tells the story of a French scientist who visited Cray's home in Chippewa Falls. Asked what were the secrets of his success, Cray said "Well, we have elves here, and they help me". Cray subsequently showed his visitor a tunnel he had built under his house, explaining that when he reached an impasse in his computer design, he would retire to the tunnel to dig. "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem", he said.

That dynamic reminds me of Scott Alexander’s toxoplasmosis of rage article[1]. That, even when there’s a legitimate grievance, activists make a cause out of the least sympathetic case, like Michael Brown for police brutality against black people.

Let’s assume the Gibson store does racially profile customers, and does it in a way that doesn’t quite bubble up to the arrest statistics. Even so, why would you make your “hill to die on” out of a case where their suspicions were majestically justified, where the customer was not only shoplifting, but willing to assault the shopkeeper and kick him while he’s down?

>I believe played a role in the decline of everyone having a blog.

Is that really the case though? Wordpress ( Love it or Hate it ), both .com and self hosted is still thriving.

And if people are writing less blog, I think it has more to do with Social Media ( Facebook ) than RSS or Google Search / Reader.
I actually remember when it came out. Played it briefly with my sons (8-10). We couldn't get past the opening scenes, died so many time in the first hour of playing, for no apparent reason with no apparent solution, that we gave up and never played it again.

So I don't have any fond memories of it whatsoever.

Will FTP links prompt to open another program? I'm for the change if Google provides an extension/recommends a viewer.

If suddenly the links stop working and there isn't a way view the contents, it will be a frustrating transition
> HTML5 Server Sent Events are better than long polling

But it works the same way: infinite http connection.
> There are 100,000s of resources [...] major blow for information storage

Thats a very small fraction of all the resources.

> It is obvious that the next FTP related headline we see from Google is when (not, if) they drop FTP links from all Google search results. There's no point them listing FTP urls in the results if their own browser can't connect to them.

This is a worthy concern, for sure. Although how do you know they haven't already done this? Do you have a search that shows ftp: urls?

> The internet started off as a wonderful limitless information sharing platform, now it's just a shopping mall controlled by corporates.

I'm trying to think of the period when the internet wasn't driven by corporate interests. Before the dot com boom, I suppose? When newsgroups thrived, and email servers roamed free without spam? That was fun but theres a fuckton more information on the internet now.
