Ernst Lebrecht Henneberg. Ernst Lebrecht Henneberg (27 September 1850 – 29 April 1933) was a German professor of mechanics and  mathematics.

Life 
Ernst Lebrecht Henneberg was born in Wolfenbüttel in 1850 to Heinrich Henneberg and Sophie Rimpau. From 1870 until 1876 he studied mathematics in Zürich, Heidelberg, and Berlin, receiving his doctorate in 1875 from Hermann Schwarz while in Zürich. After living in Zürich from 1876 until 1878, he became an associate professor for descriptive and synthetic geometry and graphic statics at TU Darmstat. Not soon after in 1879, he became a professor of mechanics at the university.

From 1887 to 1890 Henneberg was the dean of the Electrical Engineering school at TU Darmstat. In 1888, Henneburg was elected as a member of the Leopoldina. By 1890, he was one of the founders of the German Association of Mathematicians. From 1890 to 1891 Henneberg had become the dean of the Mathematics and Sciences school, while also acting as the rector from 1891 to 1893.

In 1903 he went on to write an article on graph theory in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences. The Henneberg's method of bar conversion and the Henneberg minimum surface that he found in his dissertation are named after him.

During both 1902-1905 and 1911-14 he was Dean of the General Department, and on September 30, 1920, he retired from this position. In 1933, Ernst died a professor in the department of Mechanics at TU Darmstadt.

Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology. Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology is a 2022 nonfiction book written by Chris Miller, an economic historian and nonresident senior fellow at the conservative think-tank American Enterprise Institute. It tells about the transformation of the semiconductor into an essential component of contemporary life. Miller describes in detail some of the geopolitical battles. The book received the 2022 Financial Times Business Book of the Year award.

Overview 
Miller's book Chip War highlights how the creation of high-speed chips played an instrumental role in overcoming the Soviet Union by rendering their precision-guided weaponry ineffective. The quest for control in this industry is predicted to significantly influence future times. The book also emphasizes China's vulnerability due to its reliance on imported chips, noting that China's expenditure on chip importation exceeds its oil purchases.

Critical reception 
Financial Times journalist Demetri Sevastopulo commended the book for making a complex industry comprehensible. Sevastopulo appreciated Miller's detailed depiction of the chip industry's fluctuations, not just within the U.S., but also in Asian countries that control large portions of the supply chain for this indispensable technology.

Global Policy evaluated Chip War as potentially the most comprehensive book on the microchip industry's geopolitics so far. The review acknowledged Miller's wide-ranging coverage, from the industry's modest origins in Silicon Valley to its current state of "weaponized interdependence", concentrated primarily near the Taiwan Strait.

Barry Eichengreen, writing for Foreign Affairs, noted that Miller displays a smooth storytelling style. However, he completed the book prior to the implementation of recent U.S. policies that aim to restrict China's access to advanced chip-making technology. Eichengreen also pointed out that the book doesn't draw conclusions on the potential effectiveness of U.S. export controls in curbing the growth of China's semiconductor industry, or whether these measures might simply provoke China into intensifying its support for the industry or even taking forceful action against Taiwan.

Greg Mankiw writing on his blog stated that the book: "It is a fascinating history of the semiconductor industry. Relevant for not only economics but also geopolitics. Highly recommended."

Mines of Minos. Mines of Minos is an Atari 2600 maze video game developed and published by CommaVid in 1982. The player controls a mining robot in a  maze, fighting off alien attackers. A two-player mode, in which the second player can control an alien, is also available.

Gameplay 

The player controls a mining robot trapped in a maze surrounded by hostile aliens. The goal is to locate and destroy the alien's command center. The player must navigate the maze and avoid the aliens; colliding with an alien causes the player to lose a life. Unlike a typical video game (where the player starts with multiple lives), the player starts with zero additional lives and can only earn more by collecting robot pieces scattered throughout the maze; collecting enough pieces to form a new "robot body" awards the player with an additional life. The player can drop bombs in locations, requiring strategy to choose the best spot that an alien might walk into. The maze gradually fills with water, forcing the player to move on to the next board.

There is also a two-player mode where the second player controls an alien.

Release 

CommaVid released Mines of Minos in October 1982. The game was only released for the Atari 2600.

Reception 

The gameplay was well received. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram called Mines of Minos "an extremely intense game: constant pressure, no rest". They liked the number of mazes it offered to explore, but criticized as being a Pac-Man clone.  In a 1983 review, Electronic Fun with Computers & Games wrote that the game's aliens "are stunningly scary due to their excellent resolution".

In a retrospective review, the Video Game Critic praised the game's depth and challenge. The Retroist wrote that Mines of Minos joined the slew of games "being cranked out immediately before the video game crash of 1983". It called bomb dropping mechanic a "change [from] the nature of the standard offense-oriented Atari game".
