I could write paragraphs on this but I'll keep it short, also bear in mind a lot of it will be due to specific workplaces and so on.

There's some incredible French engineers, but I get the impression a lot of the talent is lost to the US, Canada and the UK. Compensation isn't too dissimilar to the UK or other western European countries. There's still a huge emphasis, especially in larger companies, on where you went to school - if you didn't study at a Grand Ecole you can get snubbed by a lot of people. France is also very conservative when it comes to technology, and often the French bureaucracy leaks into the workplace, I had to have multiple managers sign off my request form to get a HDMI cable.
The sysadmin at my company is notoriously terrible at written communication, especially his code. He uses unintelligible variable names; sometimes it's so bad you would think you're looking at minified code. When I was lamenting about reading his code to the senior dev he told me, "Oh yeah, sysadmin is a two finger typist". Ever since then I've correlated his code issues with his typing styles. One time over some after work beers he was criticizing the touch typing classes he was forced to take in college, saying it did not improve his wpm and he quickly resumed his own style. Now that we're in quarantine and most of our communication is written, I think about him facing head down toward his keyboard rapidly two-finger-striking away while I stare at the "now typing" bubble next to his name in chat.
I feel this is kind of a minor issue; the far bigger issue that this article talks about is that the declarative YAML format is used as a programming language, which it's clearly not.
I made a cluster of 9 pi's for a work project, not for the computing power but for the segmentation. I had 8 pieces of equipment that needed to be monitored while undergoing various physical tests. A simple app was developed that would run on each piece being tested and communicate over the ethernet port each millisecond back to a pi, which then forwarded the on/off status to a central pc connected to the 9th pi acting as a wifi access point. This computer served as the monitor/display and logger of the system so we could see at a glance if everything was green and reporting or not.

It was important that each piece be physically isolated so that we knew the whole path was operational and nothing was short circuiting via something else's network connection. You could have accomplished something similar with VLANs and some routes, but this allowed for easier troubleshooting and to explain to the powers that be how things were guaranteed isolated because they could see it. Plus it looked cool.
you're insane, average mobile user won't use a platform unless it has an "app".

Companies purposely push users with intrusive popups and half or full page overlays into their apps,
or just block access in some way
I am working on my portfolio, unfortunately even after 5 years in the industry I still don't have portfolio of projects in JS frameworks like React or Angular. Mainly because I wasn't totally focused in my career. But I am very good with building static UI's with intermediate skills in vanilla JS.

But since last year, I have started to take my profession seriously. I quit a good paying job last year and started freelancing because the job was fulfilling for me.

Shortly after quitting the job I started working for my friend's client and that $9 rate was decided back then.
I think your critique is the only reasonable one I've read so far. Mozilla need to go back to their radical roots, refocus their energy for the new decade, above all find a way to survive which doesn't compromise their integrity.

For #ccp, I think innovation and voluntary sacrifice for gain (whatever it is) is hard. But forced. Grouped. Or simply copy and mass production. So far they can do it quite well.

It's not so clear; not only is there porn that has meaning or even a message(think some fanfiction, or certain hentai manga), but erotic art sits in a strange position. Philosophers still argue about whether 'erotic art' is art, or whether it can be delineated from porn at all. Not to mention, there are contemporary (last five years) arguments for and against porn itself being art. You can make a reasonable case (i.e. one taken seriously by experts in the field) either way.

They probably don't need to "catch up" in the traditional sense.

By that, I mean that if someone was starting from nothing and trying to make the same stuff and enter the same market as them, then yes, they will have a massive uphill battle and would likely fail without legislative help. If they did something different but in the same space then that's another matter.

Remember, a short while ago it was all about x86 where Intel had the distinct advantage. AMD cut some of that down and is now gaining rapidly on them.

Nowadays it's all about ARM but in 10 years time it may be something else and if you get in early enough and your predictions are correct then who knows...

One thing I am convinced of is that if Microsoft embrace ARM wholeheartedly (I mean port everything across and let x86 go to hell) then Intel (and AMD for that matter) are in trouble.

Not related to touch typing but the same is true of the eyes, focusing at a fixed distance all day kills the muscles.

I would guess that's often the issue with RSI as well, that the muscles don't get enough variation. I've practiced a lot of martial arts, yoga and rock climbing along the way and never had any problems despite spending A LOT of time with keyboards.

Yes, but that wasn't desktop Windows. In fact it inflicted some brand damage on desktop windows, back in the Win8 era, by moving all the new stuff to Metro.

(I'm not sure there's ever been a proper decent portable/handheld that ran Real Windows; there's tiny laptops from the Libretto to the GPD Pockect, which is a nice machine. Or there were handhelds that ran Windows CE back in the PDA era. And I've seen very cheap 8" tablets. But a phone-size form factor? Not quite. I suspect the never completely fixed UI scaling is a problem there.)

No you are getting what’s happening more than most atm.

People are trying to push rust real hard due to some misguided agenda that it’s safer (code is data!!!) and it will calm down once they exhaust themselves

If you have to regularly enter 4 key shortcuts you can just
define a few macros in the firmware and be done with it.
I haven't been in a situation where I absolutely couldn't input
some combination. Some shortcuts are awkward, sure, but I rarely
need those.

If I had to regularly use 4 key shortcuts I'd go insane no

Edit: Then again I don't (yet) have 500 shortcuts, but if
software doesn't support rebinding those that's not a problem

I learned to type when I was young. My mom was a old school scretary for the CEO of a compnay, so she had the formal training.

She made me learn to type when I was young in one of those old ibm selectric.

So now I can type really fast, but I still look at the keyboard from time to time.

Fun fact: my mom finished Type of the Dead in her the first try.
With desktop Windows on ARM, they would have OK battery life, but few apps. With desktop Windows on Intel, they would have apps, but no battery life. With desktop Windows on either architecture, they would have very little support for normal phone use cases; interesting as it might be, it doesn't sound like a recipe for mainstream success.

Edit: in fact, I suspect that even on ARM, without heavy-handed optimisation for battery, it wouldn't have good battery life.
> They have R&D centers outside China where they employ people they hired from Qualcomm, Nokia, Ericsson and others to design their new 5G SoC and mobile technologies.

Then it is time to kick Huawei out. Dissolve or nationalize their local entities, ban banks from dealing with their money.

China does not allow foreign companies to operate in China, so why should Western countries do the same? It's either a level field for all - or no field at all. The Western world has appeased China for too long in the hope China would democratize itself. This has evidently failed, it's time to pull the plug.

Isn’t their main argument unfair competition? Google, the starting point of the internet, decided to undermine their business by taking their collated content and publishing it at the top of results?

Google appears to do this for other things, asking questions often shows answers without needing to visit the website. Perhaps these are all licensed and there is a kick back for these sites...

Google appear to be serving ads on content other people have collated while eliminating the source of traffic to the original site.. If that isn’t unfair business practice and taking advantage of their monopoly on search I don’t know what is.
Not just you! I’m just HN illiterate. Had no idea that was a thing.

It's not that black and white. Some communicators for example delete messages after a specified time and don't archive by default. It's not perfect, and it's not supposed to be. But it still raises the bar a bit - if your peer is not compromised, you can at least hope the history goes away.

I wonder whether you could use Sail to make a compiler that figures out how to compile things. Then you could re-target it just by giving it a description of the new processor instead of a description of the old one.

Depends what you're going for. I did a pi zero cluster a couple years back and it was an absolutely fantastic learning experience for me. There was something about it being tangible that helped keep me interested and force me to actually get it running. Also, the memory limitations, for example, made for a cool problem in setting up Hadoop on it.

It can totally be worth it to do something suboptimal, if it leads to a better learning path :)
We'll be updating the Support Center with full troubleshooting information until tomorrow.

Yup, that's what I'm using as well, usually in combination with a check on ebay.de and ebay.co.uk for products which fit the bill - i.e. not for heavy, bulky goods like fridges and washing machines but certainly for smaller electronics and tools. For larger computer hardware - servers etc - I tend to look towards Germany and the UK since prices tend to be quite a bit lower than here in Sweden. I have only bought something at Amazon once, using the French version, my reasons being that they tended not to want to ship to Sweden and even if they do the price tended to be matched by other sellers. I do not want to get an Amazon monoculture so I'll continue to do so unless the price difference ends up so big that the offer is "too good to refuse". Swedish prices tend to be on the high side but they have come down, most likely due to competition from abroad. The Swedish postal service does its best to counteract this by putting a fine on parcels from outside the EU - they call it a handling charge but that is just word play, the intention is both for them to pad their budget and for you to stop buying from overseas - so I've been exploring ways to get around this by having goods delivered to the Netherlands (where I'm originally from) to import them myself when I happen to be there.
Mainland China isn't a bad place to live if you have a good income and an "untouchable" status with regards to the government. That's how most western foreigners lived in China up until about 2012 when things changed somewhat.
Scientists were treated as slaves in soviet union projects... hope the tsmc engineers read the fine print.

Ultimately I think this will be a good thing, so long as TSMC doesn't lose so much talent that it can't remain competitive. We've just seen a wave of consolidation in the fab industry. New players means more competition, and that's good for market competitiveness.

That's not accurate [1]. In the 60s and for most of the 70s, the Soviets were far behind in bombs and delivery systems. Many sources say that the US vastly overestimated the size of the Soviet arsenal at that time - and hence was very cautious. Some sources say that the US did have a fairly decent estimate, but they overstated the threat to get more funding.

I am allowed to think anything in Germany. The enforcement of compliance for these types of content control actually stems mostly from shame in my experience. There are no Jews advocating for it in case you were insinuating them being behind it.

I also don't think anyone manipulates pupils in the public educational system, there might be extensive peer pressure through social media however and cases of neglected parenting.

That said, I defend people expressing themselves, even if I think the content to be bollocks. Facebook doesn't have to allow any content, but I think it would be the better approach.
How about [1] "Power-line Networking". It's basically the act of using A/C power-lines for a computer network.

They work okay in home networks, but due to the noise of the active A/C power-line they don't scale that far.

Perhaps they could work in long distances at low bit-rates with high redundancy error-correction to account for the noise. Sending email and text messages...

Yup, that's what I thought, but I have been hearing of late of situations where professional developers are being asked to work on proprietary low-code (not no-code) platforms such as OutSystems, Mendix, and others. Therefore, I was curious to how much of this is true.
