>If it falls behind on either of these it starts to lose.

If TMSC falls behind in one of these they lose, and they don't have the other. Is that an advantage as you seem to put it? If they make a wrong choice like intel did for 10nm they're going to be immediately a non-entity with no 'other' business. Having two sets of money make businesses puts intel at a big advantage in terms of financing and owning their own platforms.

If TSMC falls behind a node all of their orders will disappear to whoever has a more advanced node. They don't have another business. Instead of two risks, they have one risk thats identical to intel's, and their entire business depends on it. That's a lot less anti fragile.

Intel has two sets of risks and in exchange on many many fewer chips they basically made the same amount of money last year, when they were behind on CPUs at almost every metric. That's resilient. People talking about the fall of intel are talking about something that intel is actively maneuvering ahead of. TSMC has no chip design risks much lower per chip profits in exchange.
I’m no fan of JSON as a configuration language, but I tried using SDLang with dub and quickly returned to JSON.

Dub would feel slightly (slightly!) more polished if it used a more common package format. TOML would be a good choice.
But the Pepsi fighter jet case was only valid because of specific laws about public advertisements.
Yes it does. It just doesn't to you, because you're not an average person.

The average person, who has no idea what cryptography is, only hears of "crypto" in sound bites on MSNBC or Fox News, and hears advertisements for a VISA crypto card, the only card powered by crypto! and they think exactly what OP thought.
All big GPU and HPC related companies have ISO C++ people on their payroll, so I doubt they will care to add something else.

And NVidia rather uses Ada/SPARK instead of Rust for high integrity computing.

In regards to Java, while I do agree, there is still enough JNI being used there, hence why Project Panama, to improve such workflows where C++ is part of the story.
Not op but I have to disagree with this sweeping assessment. I think there is room for both approaches.

I for one believe that the best solutions I've produced over the years were things that side-stepped the popular or established frameworks and were more customized and focused solutions. They gave the business an undeniable edge over the cookie cutter competition, and by being well versed in the full stack, my team was able to implement new features at a fraction of the cost.

Anyone who knows the underlying technology can pick up our work in not much more time than learning any off-the-shelf framework simply because our solution has fewer moving parts and the relationships between the business logic and the bedrock are direct and intuitive.
I bet this is a poor juniors interview out there:

Interview 0:

"I expect them to know the basics of HTTP and to be capable of referencing/digesting an RFC"

Interview 1:

"All devs should be up to speed on the mysterious world of character sets, encodings, Unicode, all that stuff"

Interview 2:

"Any real programmer can reverse a string in C without a buffer"

Interview 3:

"I expect anyone working with k8s to understand the cgroup fundamentals."

Interview 4:

"No really. What is html5?"
The immigration system is apparently designed to do as much damage as possible. It certainly is destroying a huge portion of the global economy and polity.

Dang's Comments
I would not be so sure on the "follow no conventions, created before code versioning was a thing"

COBOL shops in my (admittedly limited experience in the early 1990s) had conventions, standard skeleton code for various things (referred to as copybooks) and source code control of a sort (very centralized of course, since everything was centralized). They definitely had separated "regions" for dev, test, and production where I worked, and a process for moving code changes to production. In my experience (as a staff consultant with a major firm), if they had consultants building systems, they certainly had a defined methodology, as consulting firms love that.

I'll grant that there may have been a wide range of variance on this sort of thing. Just as there is today in many shops.

I'm also not trying to sell anyone on the idea. Going back to COBOL would be about the last thing I'd want to do personally, even if there were good money in it.
I submitted this link because I realized I was browsing dang's comment feed frequently, having found it both intellectually engrossing and a pleasing read.

There are the occasional mini-essays where dang conveys philosophical tenets he's refined and polished over many years. Reading these is similar to reading the New Yorker profile from a couple years back in terms of understanding dang's vision and meditations on how we communicate.

There is also the humdrum work of moderation, which is in some sense repetitive and you might expect to be the least interesting. But dang is so good at it, so adept at handling whatever gets thrown his way, witnessing those exchanges is like watching a master artisan at work.

I'm not sure posting this will lead to a productive discussion, because there are lots of contentious issues around moderation. But from my perspective, the way in which dang fields those issues is fascinating.
That's probably the dumbest statement I've read on HN, by far. You're just projecting your apathy.

You telling me people don't care about democracy? Or privacy? Or the environment?

Wait until your country gets hit with hyperinflation, or you live in a dictatorship and your entire livelihood is taken from you.

You'll start caring about ideologies very quickly.
>People weren't buying laptops for everything during the PowerPC transition.

That was the period where it became obvious that laptops would overtake desktops and become the most popular form factor for computers.

Neither PowerPC or Pentium IV were a good fit for laptops, but once Intel transitioned from NetBurst to Core it was a new ball game.

Apple even transitioned back to 32 bit for it, since Core didn't offer 64 bit support until Core 2 shipped.
Thanks for the reminder! I purchased back in November when it was 7.12%. It's time to re-up!
And yet everyone says they can’t find enough talent.

It can’t be both. PhDs can do more things this just become a professor, which does have a fixed number of spots.
Aside from the fact that I don't want them to win this, I kind of want them to win because the fallout would be hilarious.

Totally agree. I suppose I was one of the duped. But really I didn’t know much about pro cycling and didn’t understand what he was lying about.

Is the purchasing limit per calendar year or is it over a 12 month period?
One could argue it took ten years for Intel to have enough competition from ARM to actually wake up and do something again.

I don't care, I got a 12th gen i7 with integrated graphics (in the weird time window and edge case where Intel was ahead of AMD again for a bit) which is super fast and was way better priced then Intel used to be.

"Epilogue aside, the book is an amazingly detailed portrait of the permanent tension between strategy and luck: Companies make their own history, but they do not make it as they please. What happened after Steve was that Cook’s greatest opportunities were in Apple’s future, Ive’s in its past. When the Next Big Thing turned out to be services — iCloud, Apple Music, the App Store — built on top of the Last Big Thing, Cook adapted brilliantly. He took Jobs’s advice and did what was right, but in ways that put less of a premium on the kind of work Ive was best at. The moral of that story is there is no moral. Even one of the richest, most beloved firms in the world could not make its most talented employees successful at the same time."
I looked at this library for a project where I had to support modbus, but I then geeked out and wrote my own library to support as much of the useless parts of the standard as I could simply for the enjoyment of it. It gets pretty hairy at the edges because the standard isn’t complete. But most of the stuff in there I’ve never actually seen being used in the wild.

Sky vs Snowboard, basically.

Sky day one is very easy, yet it takes years to master.

Snowboard day one is going to be mostly about falling, unless you want into xgames, it is much easier to master afterwards.

It depends on which experience one wants to have.
No.

I'm not going to worry about atom smashers until they can exceed the energy of the OMG! particle. It was about 40 million times the power of the LHC.

As for higher isotopes, once again I'm not going to worry since nothing we can do can compare to the zone on a neutron star that goes from electron degeneracy to neutronium. That will be an insane mess of r-process atomic synthesis, a seething mass of row 7 elements. The r-process should be able to produce row 8 elements unless it hits something for which no attainable isotope undergoes beta decay. Oganesson's only known isotope is 294 which doesn't appear to undergo beta decay but there's no reason to think higher isotopes of it would not.
Sticking a touchscreen on a laptop does not a tablet make.
Agreed, and, to both your points, it's interesting that there is significant engineering never trumpeted in the press about the teams doing engineering to make the designs (physical designs) manufacture-able. it's a super interesting world where mechanical engineering and aesthetic design crossbreed.
In 1997, client-side programming was very much up in the air:

> Imagine a powerful, platform-independent language that lets you put a full GUI interface on Web page. This language has built-in security features, lots of free development tools and libraries, and is available free from Sun Microsystems. Java, you're thinking? Wrong. I'm talking about the Tool Control Language (Tcl, pronounced "tickle") in the form of a browser plug-in for Navigator 3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0. Both the language and plug-in are produced by the Sun Microsystems SunScript group. But, you're thinking, what could Tcl possibly do for me that HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, Java, Visual Basic, SQL, C/C++, and Perl don't? Read on.

(Though doing a search for "Tcl" also gets a lot of results for the electronics company.)
If you are ready to stretch your mind and have time and energy to learn a new skill, I recommend this as "data science" language: APL

Background: I first gained some experience with J, where I first learned to appreciate the advantages of array languages. The main advantage is actually having your own way of thinking about processing multidimensional data. Now, recently, I've gotten into the notation of APL, and it's really even cooler than the ASCII "noise" of J. The symbols make it easier for me to both write and read programs. Admittedly, for more complex operations with data it takes a lot of learning that you usually don't have. But for simple transformation APL is already quite fast usable and convinces beyond the "mainstream".
Very nice. And that track reminds me of the Gladiator movie (2000) OST with Lisa Gerrard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbHPTPUpQ1I

I don’t think you have a lot of experience with long software projects. The pros of frameworks are outweighed by their cons pretty quickly. This effect is accelerated by shorter support times and an ever growing number of frameworks.

While Internet is a series of tubes, SQL is a sewer: You need a lot of layers to interact with it because it’s very dirty. Real engineers have Liquibase over Hibernate and completely hide SQL from developers. Also it’s extremely slow, I don’t know why old people like it. That’s why NoSQL works better when you have large databases, like a thousand documents or more.

Also, React is not slow at displaying tables. If it’s slow, you can use plugins to hide cells which are not in the viewport.

(Old farts like me manage a billion records and display tables of 7k rows x 100 columns in a webpage in mere milliseconds, a joy that React developers will never understand. Why do you need more than 10 lines if you have pagination, they say).

Yes but that's different from being a cowboy coder or a cynic who rejects the concept of frameworks in the first place. You built a new framework customized to your business needs. To do that, you needed to understand the context of the business and your tech stack, understand why existing frameworks didn't fit, and build a new one that works well. It's a good example of not being a cog, which is what I was encouraging in my comment.

That was actually something I struggled with growing up. In school I was supposed to take advice from people whose role in life was teaching material they couldn't really justify, to a bunch of uninterested kids, to pass pointless exams. Nobody actually learned the material (I regularly got poor grades but retained more knowledge than my peers since I was too lazy to study for exams or cheat on them, but I did pay attention in class enough to get by) and passing the exam was the definition of "success". These people were supposed to be my role models and authority figures ?

And being from poor background you only get to meet unsuccessful people - so at best you get examples of what you shouldn't do if you want to succeed in life.

There should be a web of 100% JSON^1 endpoints. Let users choose their own clients. The JSON could be used in any way the user chooses. Maybe they want to make simple HTML from it. Or maybe they want to embellish it with remote Javascript-powered interactivity. It could be their choice.

What I see now as an ordinary end user, not a biased web developer, is myriad websites that are mostly just remote Javascript-powered shells for generating requests to JSON endpoints (and, via remote Javascript, doing nasty stuff with advertising and tracking). As someone who prefers text-only, more and more, albeit slowly, the "real" web is becoming JSON endpoints, not the HTML pages with links to remote Javascripts and no useful data.

To me, "poorly documented APIs" sounds like a euphemism for people hiding public data behind a gauntlet of opinionated and manipulative design geared toward optimal advertising and tracking. They are not focused on providing simple, direct access to public data. They are more focused on dictating "UI" and "UX" and forcing acceptance of advertising and tracking.

Overall though, I think the rise of endpoints is good. Hopefully, in time, the Javascript and other remote, unwanted cruft will fall away. Maybe someday the web will become a more efficient means of sharing public data. In the meantime, we have Gemini and other alternatives.

I currently work for a federal public sector client. The substitutes are all I hear day in and day out.

We can talk about what oughta be all day long; and that's a fun and important conversation of its own; but should not be confused with what is -- at my current client/project, you definitely need to learn the language if you want to be successful. And not in a "BS-y management successful", I mean get anything done including architecture and development. C'est la vie!

(FWIW, after decades of complaining and moaning, I decided to approach people / projects / relationships with at least a fraction of analytical mindset and effort that I take to technical problems. It's been both rewarding and effective and fascinating, and dear gawd I wish I paid attention to it earlier rather than spending all that time moaning and complaining. Again, we can have a discussion about how ideal world should be, and we can work toward changing it, but it absolutely has to start with actually understanding it. I'll take a look at the PDI, anything that helps understand the mechanics of work relationships is beneficial - thx! :)
We think alike :) I’ve used the same strategy to turn Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) into a $5k/month business and to have the luxury of not having to sit through an interview or work for someone else in the near future.

I like both coding, design and reverse engineering so I do those with passion. But I leave taxes to Paddle and promotion to happy users.

I write rarely on my blog [1] and only if I feel I have gathered enough new information that could help other people with their endeavor.

I’ve yet to hire people for something, but as the project gets more complex, I feel the need to do that:

- some short frontpage animation that could explain the most used app features would be a nice addition but I’m no After Effects expert and I’m not keen on learning that

- doing statistics on the monitor data [2] and finding the best sensible defaults for each monitor would improve the user experience, but cleaning up data and having to relearn pandas would take time

It’s hard to justify the price of paying someone to do that and I always feel I should do it myself. But in the life of every side project that becomes a business, there comes a day when we have to admit that it’s not healthy to try to do everything.

To phrase what you are saying another way for OP, the issue is the website's substitutions are more professional, but not always more polite.

In other words, no would would ever say "stop bothering me" in a professional environment. However, saying "you have not heard from me because there is no information" is still extremely strong and direct.

While it's possible to imagine someone saying this in an office, if I heard it, I would assume that the speaker is very frustrated, perhaps a bit angry, and probably wanted to say a bit more if they could get away with it. That might be appropriate if someone really is literally calling you every two minutes, but otherwise, it is not really appropriate in a context where you are trying to maintain good relations with a customer/coworker.
