Oversupply is just as much a crisis as undersupply. The lead time on ramping capacity up and down is long, which leads to a cyclic market which overshoots in one direction or the other. It's hard to predict the cycles.

However, an "oversupply" crisis means that either:

- prices falling, meaning costs aren't covered;

- equipment isn't running 24/7 as intended, leading to higher costs

This means businesses go under. There's a firesale which is nice, but the structural damage is far more harmful.

Personally, I'd like to see this industry a little bit more socialized. I'd like my chips produced in the USA, even if they cost a little bit more, so we're self-sufficient. I'd also like the supply chains to be in the US. I think the same goes for the EU, China, and hopefully soon, India and Africa. Having five independent supply chains costs five times as much, and I understand the efficiency argument for having just TSMC (and maybe Samsung or Intel), but I think both COVID and Ukraine highlight the risks of systemic failure.

We're just a little too over-dependent on each other.

I also wouldn't mind if my taxes paid for some excess, unused capacity, as they do with food production. That's also less efficient, but gives resilience.

We don't need to be self-sufficient everywhere, mind you. Most goods aren't essential. I do think each region should be self-sufficient for food, medicine, and now, ICs.

Works for me, on a residential connection.
That's not because of the fpga though. You can also plug a CRT into a PC. You can even chase the beam if you're willing to go to a low enough level. People generally don't but this is a limitation born advantage. There's no OS (sort of) to get in your way and why would you put one there if it's not helping you.

(I say sort of because there usually is a system that could be described as an OS running somewhere on the fpga board, to load the fpga bitstreams, if nothing else, but also sometimes to supplement the fpga's abilities)
Steve Ballmer enters the chat
Yeah, same for me. As it grows it feels more like work now. Though the money is motivating me to grow it into a full-time business which would be awesome, and would give me flexibility to travel.

The part that I really enjoy about it now is helping users by adding features and helping them and how excited they are when I deliver exactly what they wanted.
Throughout my biophysics phd motor proteins were a big topic in adjacent labs. Myosin was originally the one everybody was going to focus on, but the structural biophysics were challenging (for a long time the only model was a C-alpha structure in the PDB). Many people switch to kinesin, which seems to be easier to study (other grad students built their own microscopes that could track single molecules of fluorescently labelled kinesin moving around on a tiny slide). Last I had checked most of them were pretty confident the basic principles of kinesin had been worked out, but I dont think that means we can do any sort of arbitrary molecular engineering using kinesin as a motor.
the house would be shut down in Las Vegas and probably Atlantic City as well. The house makes enough with the 35:1 payout on a 38:1 odds in roulette. enough people bet big 6/8, hardways, and specific die configurations on craps to pay the light bill.

If you play craps perfectly, you can take the vig / house edge / rake to 0.13%, which is 13 cents on $100, as it ought to be. House edge on slots is ~1%, really poor bets on roulette and craps could be 3% or higher.

But none of the games are allowed to cheat.
> Any launch regardless of trajectory

It's doubtful that Americans would choose to turn their cities to glass because Putin launched a single rocket in a non-US trajectory. I just don't see that happening.
The problem is finding that person and having both high enough and accurate enough confidence in that choice.
I developed for UWP, though during the early days when windows phone 10 was still a thing. Honestly it wasn't the sandboxing that turned out to be the biggest problem (see all electron apps nowadays) but that the UWP Plattform was just shit in every way possible, from the design language that forced a desktop to become a phone, the store that never got any traction or quality support, the SDK that needed at least 3 more years of hard work and lots of extensions to become useful but most importantly: The terrible monetization. Microsoft entered a market with android and iphones making developers and companys a lot of money, yet on windows phone and UWP Apps on Desktop it was impossible to make any decent amount of cash.

Show HN: Datagridxl.js v2 – no-nonsense fast Excel-like data table lib
Hello HN,

I’m Robbert, the creator of DataGridXL.js. After 1,5 years of hard work I have just released version 2.

DataGridXL is a free (and commercial) editable data table library written in ES6.

My goal is to develop the most performant & user-friendly spreadsheet-like data table out there:

- It has zero dependencies. You don’t need any framework to use DataGridXL.

- It is lightweight (~250kb) and easy to use. It does not even require messing with CSS.

- It has its own Virtual DOM implementation to prevent DOM errors.

- Developer friendly. Supports all modern web browsers

Please take a look at the performance demo (https://www.datagridxl.com/demos/one-million-cells) to see the difference with other data grids out there. And let us know if you have any suggestions.

What's new in version 2:

* Rapidly search cells via top bar, just like Google Sheets.

* Freeze any amount of rows and/or columns.

* Hide and unhide rows and/or columns, just like in Google Sheets.

* Multi-Range Selection

* Fullscreen Mode

* Input bar at the bottom, so it works on touch devices too.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments!
Actually the phrasing in the readme is not correct - I will change it later, but now I want to say that the objective is not deleting "much" of it, but rather cleaning up old and deprecated modules, or providing alternative solutions (for things like os/json that historically were a point of friction).
And then there is stuff in Zephyr like Devicetree, which is designed to look familiar to Linux users but operates in a completely different and broken manner.
My 1 bitcoin will still be worth 1 bitcoin within a year or two also.
For iMessage you can use Bitlbee and any IRC client.
Yes they do. First, they normally buy complete electronics (functional devices with or without software), not just chips. Second, they do have strong contracts, spreading for 3, 4, 5+ years, specifying the volumes for each contracted year and also the piece price (among other details, of course).
Corporate control of communities is bad. This is basically softcore introduction to fascism under Mickey mouse ears.

Kick corporations out of community centers out of neighbourhood associations and out of government. It's not worth having your community or city be controlled in any way by the Disney board of shareholders.
Stellantis is worse. The all-electric Jeep Wrangler is supposed to come out in 2024 priced around $70,000. You have to get the "Rubicon" "trim level", which used to mean differential lockers and a lower low gear, but now includes such things as "biometric owner identification".

This kind of thinking is going to result in Chinese electric car manufacturers taking over the industry.
I would also suggest Quod Libet, also for the tag editor Ex Falso
Regular stores sometimes announce restocks, so you go queue before opening hours to get in line for one.

We grabbed a PS5 in January from Gamestop by queueing for a couple of hours.
> so material cannot be used in dirty bombs

Or so that it can be, as part of a false flag attack. Alternatively, Russian troops could sabotage it, just to create a (bigger) ecological disaster to punish Ukraine for resisting invasion.
Are you serious to suggesting we should hear from Putin's personal media outlets for a source on unbiased news coverage?

A sincere question, How do you feel about Hitler and the 3rd Reich, did they deserve more outlets also?

Both sources are controlled by Putin's Government and have been instructed to restrict Invasion/War and hinder coverage of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
There is a difference between people fleeing from a neighbouring country that is being attacked and those who were used as a tools in an obvious provocation.

Bordering countries decided to open borders for Ukrainian citizens (elders, women and children) because they know what it is to be "liberated" by Russians. The conflict involves at the moment Russia and Ukraine (and let's hope Belarus won't be "invited") and not India, or other e.g. some African countries. Foreigners were told to leave Ukraine long before Russia decided to attack.
Assuming we’re all still alive by 2038 :-) With all these things happening recently and with the further problems due to: climate change, pandemics, energy crisis, global warming, economy problems, conflicts between superpowers and all the rest, forecasting 16 years ahead is a little bit tricky (to put it lightly).
Right now we don't have the infrastructure to import enough gas from anywhere else. I'm all in favour of building that infrastructure. But until that gas actually happened, an actual supply shortage would literally mean some people died of hypothermia or lack of reliable electricity supply.
Agree. Thank You!
I recently re-discovered the Wikipedia Current Events portal, located here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events. It’s an unbiased index of major events happening in the world crowdsourced and vetted by Wikipedia contributors with sources to the news articles they came from.

This + non-front Reddit subs like /r/PoliticalDiscussion + Hacker News gives me as much of a 360 degree sphere of coverage as I can come up with that doesn’t take hours to curate and vet.

That said, yes, the Internet is an ad-optimized heap of disinformation, misinformation, and FUD, generally speaking.

(I found /r/politicaldiscussion and /r/neutralpolitics by searching for “unbiased political subreddits site:reddit.com” on Google. I always recommend newcomers to Reddit to unsubscribe from all of the default subreddits (as they are heavily manipulated) and use Google to find subs relevant to their interests.)
I am living in a neighborhood now, for the first time in a long time, that has lifelong residents.

my neighbor is 74. He moved into the house he lives in now when he was 2. Went to the elementary school down the street. Never left.

After many years of apartment and condo life where it was never worth knowing your neighborhood because everyone moved every two leases or so, this is profoundly kind of … relaxing? Slower? reassuring? something like that.
Bitlbee supports libpurple (Pidgin) plugins. That's how I message over Telegram with sic (tiny IRC client) against Bitlbee to people using smartphones around.
Have you never noticed how the media in democratic countries regularly and robustly criticises their leaders and government? Leaders are even laughed at and publicly ridiculed. They are held to account. Do you never wonder why it is your state media rarely dares criticise Putin? When they do they seem to get raided by your police. A pure coincidence I am sure. Is it perhaps that Putin controls the narrative in your country? Could it be that your media sources are not generally very reliable?

So why do you think looking at an .ru domain, on a Saint Petersburg IP under the influence of Roskomnadzor on any political matter would ever be a good idea? That's before we even get into the problems of identifying who the author is, what their motivations are or whether they fear arrest for saying the wrong thing. It takes balls of steel to write anything remotely politically critical in Russia, so wouldn't you agree that's a serious problem with the neutrality of any Russian influenced source? I think it's an exceptionally odd claim to suggest that the media of every single other democratic country with a free press combined is not perhaps a better place to look.
Exactly! I would love to own a simple compact car like the Honda Fit or similar with an electric drive train and without leather seats, fancy wheels and various electronic assistive driving features.

Absolutely not. You misread my argument (whether intentionally or unintentionally).

You can humpty-dumpty words all you like, but "everyone" is just you.
Can you give any reasoning for why Gentoo would be an optimal easy approach, as opposed to maybe, SELinux for example?

When I am in an advisory role, with my own reputation at stake, I must always recommend the hard choice known for superior long-run results over the easy thing with fast but inferior long-run results.

Doing the hard but superior thing builds competency in doing the hard but superior thing, which makes it easier to do the hard but superior thing over the long run.

Contrariwise, doing the easy but inferior thing builds competency in doing the easy but inferior thing, which makes it easier to get stuck doing the easy but inferior thing over the long run.

Pardon what may seem like hyperbole, but recommending inferior solutions to others because it's easy feels like, to me, malicious incompetence.
Russia is not at war with the EU though?
It sounds like the issue is that the stocks aren’t locked up for some period of years, leading to a situation where Tim Cook could take the money and run.
The idea that Cook quits because he doesn’t get a raise somewhat relies on the notion that he can do better elsewhere. Is that true? He’s already at the nation’s wealthiest company.

Off the top of my head:

1. Charging then creates an expectation that doesn't otherwise exist. That may not be something you can or want to commit to;

2. There is an overhead in charging. Payments infrstructure, billing and so on. This isn't "free";

3. Earning an income from your side project may well violate your visa status (particularly appropriate for those on US temporary work visas);

4. A side income may violate your employment conditions; and

5. Contributors may be less willing to volunteer their time to a paid product.
Tesla and BMW have, but they're hardly the entire electric car market. Other all-electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf EV ($23k MSRP) or Chevy Bolt ($34k MSRP) are positively affordable compared to a Tesla Model 3 ($45k MSRP) or BMW i3 ($44k MSRP). Both of those are still cheap next to a Jaguar iPace ($70k MSRP) or a Tesla Model S ($95k) though.

Keep in mind that even a Honda Civic starts off at $22k MSRP these days.
> Are you serious to suggesting we should here from Putin's personal media outlets for a source on unbiased news coverage?

GP didn't say anything about unbiased. RT has literally "Russia" in the name, so I don't think anyone expects them to be paragons of neutrality for the present situation.
On technical merits or.......?

We use Nim to prototype many things (though not all things), and in many cases they go into production with `-d:release` just fine:

I’m a SWE who has a long term goal/dream of working for myself. I’m sure lots of readers here have this exact same dream.

It is hard to pull yourself away from the nice salary and benefits of the corporate job. The opportunity cost of working for myself and failing for a year or two is very high when salaries are 250k+ for senior devs.

It would be great to reduce the risk with part-time work. I hope it becomes more normalized. The problem I see is the ramp time for new workers to get productive. If the workers are part-time it is longer.

For those who are concerned with “hours worked”, that’s just bad management. Set concrete goals and then evaluate worker output. Hours is irrelevant.

I hope I find the courage to try breaking out “on my own” before it is too late. The one thing we all cannot buy is more time.
No, it's not an argument against improvement, it's an argument against inequalities. Fighting inequalities is fundamental to unleash the potential of medical technologies. Potential that cannot be reached under the current economic model that is hindering research, progress and wellbeing.

The argument about medical expenses doesn't make any sense: it's more profitable to have sick people living longer and increare their medical expenses. The failure of the American healthcare system is proof that a market economy is not fit for healthcare.
Steve Ballmer joining Apple would do for Microsoft's stock price what Steve Ballmer leaving Microsoft did for Microsoft's stock price.
The tragedy of the Linux desktop is that its CLI is superb and Chrome works really really well. The year of the Linux desktop happened with Android but sadly all that successful GUI stuff that Google did was never able to percolate back into the FOSS world as a WIN32 alternative. It's a sad state of affairs for Linux desktop app developers, because they've had the wind taken away from them on all possible angles. The only Linux desktop app I can personally remember using in the past year (aside from the terminal and Chrome) would probably be kcachegrind. I wish that we as a community could focus more on building outstanding TUIs (e.g. linux perf, gdb --tui, emacs) since most Linux installs are headless and it makes an app more functionally useful it can be used in a terminal via ssh.
Who knows how much that will be worth tomorrow? Or a week/month from now.

Is it crazy to think that someone is reimbursing them for this loss, like Western governments perhaps? Or maybe its some kind of opportunity cost calculation at the behest of some ESG man behind the curtain? Not the be too conspiratorial, but I'm trying to make sense of walking away from that kind of money, assuming of course that this is complete and utter bullshit:

I have projects that I could change from an open source CLI to a subscription SaaS, but what's the point of that? That's what Silicon Valley is doing and I hate it. I'm not desperate enough for money to do that. The other part is that bootstrapping a business to the point where you can quit your dayjob - while still working at your dayjob - is very difficult.

>An achievement, yes, in the same sense that a speedrun is an achievement, and improving it is also technically an achievement.

>But in my mind, the title of a competitive game are reserved strictly for games where the gameplay itself is performed against another player or a team.

Seems like a very arbitrary position to take. Competition is simply the exercise of comparison and raking against another human in any activity. Some games/activities are designed to foster and facilitate more competition than others.

Anything can become competitive, as it is a function of how people approach an activity, not what it is.

You can say that Slay the Spire is not a game designed for completion, but that doesn't negate the reality that some people clearly compete for records and leaderboards, and a competitive scene exists.
