> I don't have a name for it yet - but it boils down to noticing a thing or possibility exists and arguing just from it, without bothering to ask how much of it there is / how likely it is.

That looks like "appeal to possibility"? Seemingly sometimes folded into "appeal to probability"?
So the OP’s articles source is a blog post which cites its own ‘research’ and little else.

I guess it comes down to how much we can trust Trendforce... otherwise it’s pretty much still speculation at this point.
I've been considering Vim for a while now.. If I do choose to pick it up this will definitely be my first choice! Looks great :)
I feel it is good for me.
I am also looking for the language like javascript but nodejs.
And I think a good point is that the language is including useful libraries by default.

By the way, the source size seems to be reduced to 24MB.

All jobs have a share of something you don't like or want to be doing. It might or might not hurt you long term. For a year or two it won't make much a difference, but longer than that and it will hurt you.

As a student we understand that sometimes you get pushed into less desirable roles just because that is all you can get. However make sure your resume and cover letters in the future make it clear where you want to go. When doing hiring people assume that what you have done before is what you want to do, so make sure that even if the support is the majority of your duties your resume only lists it as a small part of your duties, and once you have a better job drop it off.

Remember, all jobs have a part that you don't like. Be aware that you may discover that you hate programming for a living and want to get back to support. You never know what the real world is like until you have been in it for 10 years.
It would be nice if you at least listed what the exercises are before asking for money.
This project looks awesome; MIT with a near complete feature set included both on the server and the client. Like Laravel for JavaScript. The video was terrible though (IMO) TBH, too aggressive.

Just from a superficial glance and assuming there is nothing fishy in the code, I'm wondering why this hasn't received more traction. A case of NIH? Granted, one could argue Laravel got where they are much thanks to the unique publicity talent of the people involved.
I'm sure they're referring to the failsafe.

Also Singapore was not well in the 50s and 60s. It got full independence in 1965, and (from the speech of Lee Kuan Yew), erratic electricity, only half of the population access to sewage system. The economy picked up only afterwards.
A few days ago I read the following blog post from Petra Falb(https://www.ema.europa.eu/sites/default/files/ContactsAndExp...) about long term side-effects and why this is generally not a problem with vaccines: https://verdareno.wordpress.com/2021/01/01/covid-impfstoffe-...

Yep, that's probably what I'll end up doing.
I'm not really sure I'd describe that one as "corrupt", which I feel implies a nastier motive than trying to deal with embarrassing family members. A bit questionable and self serving, yes, definitely, but corrupt? Not sure it goes that far tbh.

Part of the issue is that the harms of gender bias (and other types of bias) should not need to be made explicit, but part of the research canon. Should a security researcher outline the harms of an attacker obtaining user credentials, or is our imagination sufficient because the harms are well known to us? And if you were looking for more in depth studies, then there is a ton of published research, maybe not all of it on arxiv or in machine learning journals.

Why would Intel pay top dollar for 5nm and sell cheap Core i3 CPUs?

Is TSMC even receptive to "help" Intel on those terms?
That might or might not be true, and can change either way. Don't build for AWS only, but as a startup outsourcing all those details to AWS saves you the effort of figuring them out. When you are facebook scale you will have a whole department to doing what AWS does, but when you only have two users putting dedicated redundant computers in a datacenter is more expensive than AWS even before you get into the admin costs.
Yeah that one has a pretty cool projection as well to give an indication of coverage!

> I found the greatest offenders of media that portrays China in a poor light are CCTV, xinhua, people’s daily, etc... if you consume those media, you get the impression that China is a backwards authoritarian state with lots of flaws, but of course the truth is more nuanced.

You're not their target audience, period.

Also you're molded by Western culture, of course you interpret things differently with your own bias (in a neutral sense).

On the flip side, a lot of Chinese find Western media chaotic, unruly and full of lies, which portray Western society in a poor light. And of course, the truth is more nuanced like you said.

Show HN: A Billing Platform for Chrome Extensions
vs. MS/Nintendo/Sony - none of those companies will know if a customer has exclusively their consoles, or has other consoles & will buy games on other platforms; could be useful information.

vs. Valve/Epic - similar, AFAIK these are PC-only stores, so again wouldn't be able to determine if customers also have a console (or several) that they play games on.

vs. general retailers e.g. Amazon - more specialised to people buying games; with nothing to back this up, I'd guess that people buying games on e.g. Amazon are more likely to be buying as a gift vs people buying in a dedicated game store (and particularly being registered in a loyalty programme at a game store). (Not saying that most people buying games on Amazon are giving them as gifts, just probably a higher proportion than in gamestop). In cases like that, it's probably less beneficial to target an ad for a game at that person, as they were probably just buying what they were asked for etc.

Their prices on OF are kinda throwback-y, but the pricing for OmniPlan is probably VERY influenced by how expensive MSP is, or traditionally was.

It's topic drift, but MS Project has done to the critical-path scheduling world what IE did to the browser world. It's worse than the incumbents in lots of material ways, but it's a LOT cheaper and much easier to learn, and so it's sucked up all the oxygen.

I work in enterprise project management / earned value. It USED to be that there were lots of contenders for critical path project management software. Now the last non-MSP product standing is Primavera, and it's somewhat neglected by its new corporate master -- the original owner sold his company to Oracle years ago and Oracle hasn't really done much with it.

So the world at large is, increasingly, stuck with MSP if they want this sort of creature. And MSP, instead of using their position to encourage good practices, or adopt widely-supported features still unaccountably lacking from the product, has instead introduced "features" like Manual Tasks.

What's a Manual Task? It's a task in a schedule that has its dates hardcoded and thus will not move, which is really insanely wrongheaded. A scheduling tool like this is, at a basic level, all about assembling a list of tasks with durations (and, ideally, assigned resources and work and costs) that are connected by a chain of logic. If an early task is delayed 3 weeks, you'll see that in later tasks that depend on the first task.

A "Manual Task" just ignores all that. If this doesn't make immediate sense to you as a horrible idea, let me explain it by way of example. Imagine Excel introduces a feature called Manual Math that allows you to override the rules of arithmetic. If you want the total to say 10,000 but the column has entries that sum to 12,234, just turn on Manual Math!
On another side - has the software side done much to incentivize Intel to innovate over the interim? i.e. Windows has accrued a lot of cruft. It feels pretty outdated at times. It feels almost unprofessional at times coming from a unix-like OS user space and has since the 90s. But then unix-like OSes have been a thing this whole time.

Yeah, I think Intel is our latest, greatest example of the follies of not regulating markets properly. Properly regulated, Intel would have been smacked around or incentivized against dominating the chip market 'back when'. Given the factors required, this may have had to require state-led/funded chip research and fab production. i.e. Effectively making a government do what TSMC did years ago - and privatize the actual results of the efforts at key points/areas. Just enough public investment to push the market toward efficiency then back out. Proper regulation would have kept pressures in place to keep key technologies and manufacturing processes/abilities from entirely leaving the local market, too.
It does seem like TSMC has strong leverage since it would take Apple a lot of time and work to move to a competitor.

On the other hand, the incentives seem pretty well aligned. TSMC presumably makes a lot of money when Apple is successful and sells a lot of chips. Having a customer that is demanding and willing to pay for huge volumes of bleeding edge parts helps TSMC build on their lead. Having early access to the best process helps Apple differentiate, and their business model gives them the margins to afford all of this.

Anyway, I don't see why either side would want to really change this setup.

I use the symbol to help identify people who believe anything they read on the Internet.

I don’t think I’ve used this symbol since I was a kid to mean “ok,” and I certainly won’t use it now due to potential association.

But it is nice to be able to easily tell if someone is either stupid or duplicitous by reading them talk about this symbol always meaning white power.

I’m sure if I went looking on nazi sites I would see it used in hate, but every story I’ve read about it has been a waste of time. I only see a few come through threads like this but when I read the link it’s usually someone trolling or ambiguous.

PS: I have no idea what he means by "finance-obsessed"? I think the community at HN is tech-obsessed which is what I like about it. But finance? This is not yahoo finance or wherever all the finance guys hang out.

It sounds more like he had a clash with someone specific on a finance-related issue and bases his view of the HN community on that. The eggcup is a bit of an immature way to deal with this IMO. Especially as he has good points to make about X11 security, and this undermines them.

Yep, Ruby Ridge and Waco were fiascos which led directly to the bombing of the Murrah Building. McVeigh explicitly called out those events as his motivation for the bombing.

The lessons learned were apparent in the government’s approach to the 2016 wildlife refuge standoff. Rather than dash in guns-blazing, the government simply established a perimeter and waited for the occupiers to run out of Clif Bars. Took the ringleaders into custody with a minimum of force when they attempted to leave. Of the 30-40 occupiers, only one was shot as he reached for his gun. No law enforcement officers were harmed. World of difference compared to Waco, where 4 ATF officers and 82 Branch Davidians were killed.

Facebook won't allow numbers to be given, but if you read between the lines of various CppCon videos a 0.1% speedup in some of their core algorithms can make the costs go down by several hundred thousand dollars a year.

At a high level, Verilog, a widely used hardware description language, is portable to almost any fab.

There will be all kinds of layouts for specific subcomponents which are harder to move between providers, but I would guess that the move from 14nm Intel to 5nm TSMC will more than outweigh all the layout based optimizations.

I would say leakers of this kind maybe shouldn't be actively pursued by the justice department outside of the USA. But either (1) pardoning; or (2) failing to pursue within USA; is a tall order.

It licences the principle that intelligence can be leaked without legal consequence "by the conscience" of the leaker.

Is that really how intelligence should be conducted? Most people are idiots; and do not know the ramifications of what they do.

It is perfectly reasonable for something to be both moral and illegal, and remain punishable. Ie., it is Good that these leaks occured, but nevertheless, we require the leakers to pay some cost for it.

If that cost is "in practice" merely exile from the country, that seems a reasonable compromise.
