Indeed, semiconductor industry investment is a drop in a bucket compared to 10 years of war. Not to mention, after a war, there still exists a dependency.

It's funny how most of the semiconductor topics lead to war discussions but no one talks about outcompeting Taiwan. It's doable if there is will and resources (I am a Fab engineer). IMO the best way to move forward.
It could be that. Or, for example, California Teachers angrily denouncing accelerated math classes as being immoral. Or perhaps a combination of the two.

VictoriaMetrics is odd: https://www.robustperception.io/evaluating-performance-and-c...

The CTO has some... interesting interactions with the rest of the Prometheus OSS ecosystem (Thanos, Cortex, etc.)

Anyway, you don't need to change how Fly.io does anything based on HN comments. But if you believe sagmichal and the link he posted (https://prometheus.io/blog/2021/05/04/prometheus-conformance...), your users might be less than happy if they were trying to do some PromQL query that VictoriaMetrics or Telegraf doesn't support.

Best: Good research is about the quantity and throughput of ideas you can test, not the quality of individual ideas.

Worst: Code should be designed for users, not any individual engineer's philosophical preference.
I am generally on the 'wrong' side of these conversations on HN, but...

> did South Korea stop everything whenever North Korea did a Nuke test?

I believe the two threats are not remotely equivalent. In a world of MAD, nuclear weapons are only a credible defensive deterrent, because offensive use of them is suicide. The US would start a nuclear war, in response to a North Korean first-strike.

Whereas with respect to China and Taiwan, nobody, including the US is going to start a nuclear war over that aggression, and nobody, including the US is going to start a conventional war against a major nuclear power.

If you have any doubts on this - consider that you are alive to read this post... Because the US did not start either a nuclear, or a conventional-with-good-possibility-of-turning-nuclear war over Russian adventures in Crimea.
Apple is dying. Confirmed by Netcraft. I read it on Slashdot.
AFAIK the company that sells this owns the rights to the Amiga OS and has unpaid volunteer(s) actually doing the work on the OS, so it is profitable.
Because right now the US politicians feel challenged, and they are panicking to paint their competitor as a threat for everyone. This kind of political trick happens all the time.
There are many different types of taxation, but there is no currency that doesn’t derive its value from taxation. People call things like Bitcoin currency but until a sovereign runs their financial system of federal settlement payments on the Bitcoin blockchain it is only a commodity like gold or silver or corn.
When you make web pages to serve the user, instead of entangle them, it doesn't take much. Just a little simple html and css go a long way. And really, should the fansite of an ASCII game from the 90s be anything else?
Hey man, congrats on the new job.
I’ve had one for some time now, and I think it’s an absolute steal for a laptop. It blows the new Lenovo netbooks my kids were issued for school out of the water in speed and battery life (also screen quality). I don’t bother bringing my X220 with when we leave town, because this is light and will take care of all the general computing needs. People seem to always want more but at just over $200 shipped, not sure there is enough to complain about. I’m also curious to see Debian release for it this summer.
> I sometimes have 100+ editor, terminal, and browser windows. Linux has many window managers up to the task (i3, xmonad, openbox, and countless more). Mac has the default one which you CAN'T change.

This is so much my issue. I love i3wm, it's been a revolution for how I work. I never really understood the "desktop" concept with overlapping windows very much, and i3 works at an abstraction that is very close to how I imagine my desktop. I keep stacks of windows open in an arrangement that might be bizarre to anyone except me, but when I look at it it's 90% how I want it to be, a place no other WM/DM has ever gotten.

But I also don't want to deal with linux any more. Please don't sealion me with "but linux works fine for me!" here, but using linux feels like death by a thousand frustrations. Most recently I had to alias pulseaudio -k to pk because pulseaudio got out of whack so often I got used to killing it. That, plus I can't live with Ctrl-based shortucts anymore: I get serious pinky and wrist fatigue from a full day's work on linux. I can't be bothered to work around an entire missing staircase, so I switched back to macOS, where even if the WM isn't as good I can live with it.

(Incidentally, have you heard of yabai[1] / amethyst[2]? They're tiling WMs for macOS. I've been thinking of trying both out for a while now but I can't spare the time.)

The People's Republic of China isn't 2500 years old either. Your metaphors about strength, falling, shoe repair, structures, and crippling have no predictive power, being only metaphors.

It's true that people in the US don't know what happened there 2500 years ago, but people in China don't know much of what happened there 2500 years ago either (partly the fault of Qin Shi Huang), and in either place, there's no particular reason to expect it to happen again, other than metaphorical fuzzy thinking about falling and cobbling, and the general tendency of human societies to do things that human societies can do instead of things they can't.

Even if post-apocalyptic China were seized with a historical-reenactment fervor and Sima Qian were the new bestselling author, the material conditions of production today are quite different from those that prevailed in the Bronze Age. People won't suddenly forget how to use their shortwave radios, smelt iron, and make gunpowder just because it's radioactive outside. At least some surveillance satellites will surely remain in orbit. Semiarticulated trucks with tank escorts could still carry materiel to battlefronts orders of magnitude faster than porters with wheelbarrows or even the Grand Canal. The whole scenario is just nonsense.
Values I'm Starting a Company On
I don’t know of any particular taxes on technology goods in Australia. There’s 10% GST but that’s paid by consumers. For companies GST on inputs is all deductible.
If you Google "Taiwan hard to invade" or the like you will get more educated reads on this. The necessary preparations on the Chinese part are well seen on satellites. China would 100% win at a bloody cost without a US involvement. With, they would loose. This is today, without China coming to be on level with the US military. Over time they will catch up. Today with US involvement China would loose. The facts on the ground prove this, otherwise why have they not done it yet?

MicroFPGA – A coming revolution in small electronics (2019) [video]
So did some Chrome developers back in 2015. From https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/09/tab-discar...:

> Future improvements: the tab serializer

> The tab serializer is a future piece of work we think may lead to significant improvements on our current approach to tab discarding. It takes the contents of a Chrome tab and serializes its current state into a binary blob. This binary blob can later be deserialized into a tab.

> The serializer would serialize almost everything Chrome, Blink and V8 need to properly preserve a tab (something Chrome extensions tackling this problem historically haven't been able to easily achieve). Serialization would include the usual suspects: the DOM (with a lot of WebGL and Canvas included), CSS and the state of the V8 JavaScript VM.

> If you use Android or ChromeOS, you may know that (similar to the tab discarding experiment covered in this post) we kill background tabs aggressively in order to ensure memory usage is low. The issue with the way we tackle this was that your tab would lose all of its state.

> When you showed interest in the tab again, we would have to reload it and all your interaction with it would be lost. The tab serializer just approaches this problem in a way that gets you back to almost exactly what you were without requiring going back to the network.

> We look forward to sharing more information about this work at a later date.

6 years later, we have... wait for iiiiiit... something called "freeze-dried tabs": https://www.xda-developers.com/google-chrome-89-freeze-dried...

It basically presents a pseudo-image of the current tab while the actual tab is loading in the background. The pseudo-picture contains text and image drawing commands so it can be zoomed in and out, and it's a snapshot of the entire webpage (probably subject to limitations I'm yet to identify). It's not interactive though beyond having a concept of "hit targets" for anchor elements, and AFAIK Android's only using it to speed up perceived browser startup at the moment (so not for tab switching).

To me, the fact that this silly feature has shipped on Android ("THE" platform), and for the most part very imperfectly filled the vacuum that would have been a canonically perfect match for tab serialization, is fairly concrete signal that tab serialization will never be implemented. D:

I can admittedly sorta appreciate that WebGL and DRM state would probably be tricky to perfectly save - the text says "a lot of", suggesting that the feature would sometimes fail and produce an inconsistent experience. Hmph. That would be better than nothing. And it's not like Google couldn't go look at how Firefox does it for ideas....

Sometimes I just wish a bunch of rich millionaires with no idea what to do with their money would make a giant big deal about _paying Google_ to implement specific obscure features into Chrome - like this one :D. It would cause all sorts of hilarious chaos in terms of processing the payment, which would itself make for excessively amusing headlines about feature prioritization and such.
Heh. I think the joke is that my company pays me 1 dollar a week to do Google searches, and 2000 dollars week to know which of the 100,000 results is worth following.
There’s no need for xenophobic trash comments
Vietnam I wouldn't be worried about. China's burned it's hand in those jungles before, I doubt they're keen to do it again. As for those island disputes all I can say is good luck and at least they're not heavily populated. Unfortunately Asia still has a lot of uncleaned messes left over from the 1940s what with the constant tug of war between China and the US ever since China went communist. Vietnam isn't exactly democratic though, but I guess that's why you're in New Zealand.

As for new Zealand, remember that you always have massive leverage over China in the form of nationalizing their purchases. Don't let wealth from China be a crutch. Enjoy it but know how to live life without it if the price of wealth is too great.
You need to go back to school and re-take a course on logic.
Why does every post about China ends up about them abusing human rights, stealing etc. etc.

"Whataboutism" balances a hypocrisy when one POS is trying to tell the other POS how to behave and when confronted with facts ends up telling that we are not as bad POS as the other POS.
Western media are more interested on China's failure than her success. Example : Recent hyping of Long March uncontrolled reentry.
i think the difference is that only 2 countries have successfully landed on Mars while the amount of people earning 120k is quite high
Why China? Most of the major chip fabs aren't made in China. They're mostly made in Taiwan, South Korea and the US. Unless we're strictly talking about TSMC, which does have 2/18 fabs in China.
Ransomware Is Getting Ugly
Being able to work in my shorts on my giant monitor while listening to my favourite music without the discomfort of headphones itself probably has done double-digit contribution.
IME this very much depends on router and devices.

When I was syncing over mobile hotspot (LAN) on 2.4GHz, speeds weren't impressive. But then I got a 5GHz router with 3 devices and there is sufficient bandwidth. I share ~120GB of total data, spread across ~20 directories, largest being WhatsApp media backup with thousands of crappy low-quality photos. If I wait over a week, I easily accumulate more than a GB of data and it syncs in few minutes at most. Absolutely robust, and zero friction.
"Would that change if they, for example, demanded the release of prisoners of a specific political persuasion?"

Yes.

China was ruled by rival warlords far more recently than 2,500 years ago, most recently from about 1916 to 1928 (officially, though some warlords continued to hold sway in isolated regions well into the 1940s).

Strong central government collapses -> country fractures into regions controlled by warlords -> new strong central government arises. China has seen that movie many, many times in its history.

Meanwhile latest census shows that the Northeastern China peoples are shifting to the South.
One of my mentors at the first company I worked for in Silicon Valley never said “no” to one of my ideas. He said “okay, we’ll try it out and see what happens.” He was inherently supportive of new ideas and as a junior engineer it felt very refreshing to not have to argue my way into a feature that I felt strongly about. I’ve carried that same mentality throughout my career.

My worst colleagues were the exact opposite. They didn’t listen to anything that they were advised and then when the project failed they tried to pin the blame on me. Luckily the rest of the team vouched for me so nothing happened but it left a bad taste in my mouth. There really isn’t much to learn from scumbags since it’s obvious you shouldn’t be a scumbag.
That's good, but ultimately, it's still only 25 years. Pursuing long shot life extension tech is complementary to your effort to keep yourselves healthy.
You're kidding right? There's a decent number of thin & light laptops with HiDPI and 100% DCI-P3 coverage screens offered by OEMs. Some offer 16:10 and 3:2 ratios too. The only downside is all of these high-end models will be Intel quad-core (even if Tiger Lake has been pretty good compared to previous Intel generations)
6 million dead Jews beg to differ.

Doing the right thing is an absolute. As soon as we as a spices understand this this better.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
I do not see whataboutism as mistake/pitfalls. Considering the western media always shot/criticizing first.

+1 for Khan Academy. I watch their videos for fun at times
Hah, a past SaaS “big startup/small enterprise” company I worked for also had Unilever as a customer, and they were also arguably our worst, most toxic customer. Constantly draining the time of everyone they interacted with. Managed to convince our execs to build a number of custom features just for them, that we spent a huge amount of time on, and they never used them (nor did our other customers).
I'd agree rate of change counts more if both parties were at comparable technology levels. When you're still playing catchup there's a lot of opportunities to take certain engineering shortcuts.

SpaceX is a civilian contractor to NASA, just like companies like Boeing, Grumman, and Raytheon were during the Apollo program. They aren't operating their own scientific missions just for the hell of it. (At least, not yet.)

No, it's about your neighbor slept with the wife of your great great great great great grandfather 143 years ago, and he's offspring is biting his teeth, alleging you slept with his wife, coz he probably learnt that someone can sleep with others' wife from his ancestor.
If you want to remove a lot of unnecessary pain in your life, completely abandon the idea of mounting a host FS within a guest VM. Doubly so if they're different OS's/FS's and triply so if this a development VM.

Looking over the publications of the professor in question, his career has been spent measuring and modeling operant conditioning to stimulus-response tasks. I would not expect him to have any particular knowledge of physiology, genetics, developmental biology, or psychology.

At some point the price will be worth it to put cell modems in almost everything. A permanent internet connection for all of your devices/appliances that can't be disabled without putting it in a Faraday cage or physically destroying the modem.
The location of Taiwan to the mainland is the perceived concern with the Chinese navy and the reach of the American military. Recently a squadron was moved from Guam. China has been expanding its influence/territory via islands in the South China Sea over the last decade. I think it’s a strategic concern.
From the other side of this, if a company has been charging you $20 for something, why are you suddenly going to pay $100 for three times as much?

Working for places that are trying to do what your company was trying to do is how people get burnout. Congrats on the external perspective. Most places don’t get that lucky. Sunk cost fallacy and all.

Stay with the companies that are your size, until you’re big enough to land the big fish. Then charge them the same as you charged everybody else. If you lock the biggest fish in at an unsustainable rate, how do you intend to make up the difference on volume?
Calico is a company criticized for not being product or engineering driven business.
It would be a crime to remove that, or the comment.

It's legitimately a part of history, specifically the dawn of FPS gaming, and utterly brilliant besides. The comment even helps reassure the new programmer that they're not alone in thinking that at that line.

Hence the monthly planned downtimes. Some organizations require you to take your vacation time every year, and it’s partly because they want to make sure they know how to operate without you.
On Mac, it asks to restore tabs, but it simply reloads each tab from scratch, whenever you navigate to that tab.

It absolutely does not remember scroll position, much less any of the remaining state of the page.
Revisit that in 50 years.
Yeah: I have always worked from home and nothing about my job has changed, but omg has life gotten harder even for me recently; it is also worth noting that the pandemic affects not only work life but also social life, which means that suddenly work almost automatically takes up a lot more time as there has often literally been nowhere else for me to go or people to see than "maybe my work colleagues would be willing to talk about our product... in the middle of the evening... oh, yep, they are, as they are just as bored and lonely as I am right now".
There have been a lot of things I grew up with as a kid that I always assumed would just be forgotten, as most things are. I didn't have access to many fancy games or hardware in the 90s, so a lot of my early computer memories are of playing ZZT on my parent's ancient (even then) PC with a monochrome amber display. It's really something to see that it evolved into a whole subculture of quick-and-dirty game dev for teens, and that THAT in turn is now also history and is being preserved and passed on. Computers advance so quickly, and the assumption is often that the new thing will completely replace the old. But sometimes, the old still has a place, even many years on.

" If you remember hostile teenagers dedicating an unhealthy amount of their time to harassment, never letting mistakes be forgotten, or screaming slurs, those days are long past."
Mixed feelings on that, though I get what the author's going for. My experience of the "early" web (95-02 or so) was definitely that it was often "toxic," to use an obnoxious modern term, but it was also wonderfully free and honest. When another teenager hurled slurs at you, he wasn't doing it to up his social cred in some perverse way, or advance some twisted economic or political agenda. He just genuinely thought you were a piece of shit (or usually something much less polite).

The weakness of teenagers is that they tend to be overly emotional, dramatic, and short-sighted. But as I've gotten older, it's become clear that the weakness of adults is that they're about 90% suit and tie. Everyone is so obsessed with maintaining their image that there's almost no space to be an actual human being anymore, and the cancer that is social media has magnified this a hundredfold. Frankly, I think I prefer the teenagers. At least they had an excuse.
Reading about the Letter of Marque was fascinating!
Can you share your evidence of the Russian version in use today?
Well, if you would report a bug for Office 2003, the maintainers at Microsoft would react the exact same way. That is if you persist on calling through the corporate structure until you actually are able to contact one.

Either that or well, they'll simply ignore the noise of a user that doesnt give a damn about updating anything - so the user would not receive any potential patch anyways.

If you decide on choosing a specific distro, you should know what you're choosing. If what you are complaining is too much choice, then maybe MSDOS 1.x is the best operating system for you?

The beauty of Linux is customization. If you don't agree with that, then stay on MacOS. No harm done.

But if what you're complaining about is that you lack the skills to understand and investigate - without having paid anyone anything - then honestly, I think you are an ungrateful user that nobody should help out because it's a waste of (everybody's) _free_ time.

Be nice and maintainers will be nice, too. Be cooperative and they'll be cooperative as well.
