Off topic but what tool did you use to create those cache hierarchy diagrams?

Thanks for pointing that out!

Right! Section 1.3 of this publication discusses possible mitigations for the row hammer problem and where ECC fits in

Good point on the need for awareness!
The industry has convinced the average user of consumer hardware that PPA (Power,Performance,Area) is all that needs to get better with generational improvements. Hoping that the concerning aspects of security and reliability that have come to light in the recent past changes this.

I thought ASML manufacturing was in Connecticut, USA? I heard this from Ian Cutress on his channel https://youtu.be/JyocuFlQmTc
rajesh-s | 5 years ago | on: Tired of note-taking apps
I see you didn't mention Markdown. My solution for the last couple of years to this problem is to have all my notes organized into folder and .md files. A couple of advantages:
- I can move around different IDEs/apps since there are a lot of different solutions for every platform there.
- Same goes for search and links between folders. Rely on git for version control of the files themselves.
- It gives you the flexibility of using plugins to turn into PDF or host as a gitbook private site for example.
Knowledge base organization gets discussed frequently on HN. I understand your frustration though, I've always longed to see a one fit for all platforms though. Onenote sure shows a lot of potential but is probably limited by the fact that MS wants to keep it as close to their office suite as possible.

Do you know an example of this?

Humans have persistence. I guess that'll help them eventually get through using brute force.

Another thing to note is that sparsity is being leveraged even to build a more efficient version of hardware. A good example of this is the Cerebras Waferscale chip that was announced recently. I'm assuming the author was unaware of developments on the hardware side of things.

I did not find this mentioned anywhere but Onenote makes snips text searchable too

This is probably the biggest challenge for ARM and its partners today. It'll be interesting to find out how they incentivise developers and envision the enable ecosystem efforts in this direction.

Found a few posters on the history of computing:

Thank you for sharing this!
rajesh-s | 6 years ago | on: A curated list of Computer Engineering resources
Yes! Thanks for noticing it. That was one of the primary reasons I decided to keep it. There seems to be a general confusion about CE/CS.

Any specific courses that you'd recommend on LinkedIn Learning?
rajesh-s | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why haven't we hosted research publications as repositories yet?
Shouldn't one of the primary attributes of research be to enable collaboration after publication for the study of a subject?
Why haven't there been the tools to do that yet?
rajesh-s | 6 years ago | on: Learning at work is work, and we must make space for it
I've worked at a few places. Something that I wished existed in all those places is a library. It need not be filled with books. Just reserved room space for people to come and read without interruption. I really wish someday people give this a thought.

Long time draw.io user here. A couple of weeks back [brainio](https://brainio.com/#/) was posted on HN. Though it's still in beta, it works really well and I like the concept of going from Markdown to Mindmap and vice-versa.
Drawio is also trying to implement this through PlantUML but it's not fully functional yet with only some constrained types on PlantUML support.
rajesh-s | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you organize all your photos?
Exactly! For me the pile keeps building up. I feel this is a problem that's still not addressed well. Sure you could save compressed ones to Instagram/Google Photos, but manually saving this is still a big hurdle for later retrieval. Need a simpler approach to tag and sort them into albums rather than just folders
