I thought about similar for a long while, pre-Bitcoin even. I think it's impossible to do money as such. Bits don't have an intrinsic worth, and so value is always in relation to another party. A key property of money is fungibility, thus network effects from many people using the same definition of value. Thus, central authorities, whether those authorities are controlled by fickle individuals, natural language bureaucracies (traditional companies), or formal language programmatic consensus (blockchain).

I think about the only decentralized improvement one can do is software that creates credit lines denominated in an existing currency, between mutually trusting parties. And then attempt to scale that up (ala Hawala), with technical means to keep the slightly diminishing fungibility from being an issue (one USD owed to you by the Treasury is worth slightly more than one USD owed to you by your friend A (owed to him by B, and so-on), even if you trust A with your life).

However, there are many areas where we can adopt decentralized functionality (which actually means not having unnecessary centralized functionality), such as my above naming example. If we want decentralization, it's just ridiculous for my browser to be making hundreds of centralized name lookups to render a single page. And I've seen too many blockchain projects where they're actually pushing a solution that is more centralized than the existing ones.
I want to find this peace, too.
Thank you for your comment!

The demand for no-code is growing really fast, with Bubble.io for example adding 1M new users just over the last year. Other tools like Airtable, Zapier, Notion also have been among the fastest-growing SaaS tools out there. Even those platforms position themselves as a self-serve solution every third user needs help with their application.
What monopoly?

Apple pays more hence they get the product

If someone else wants to pay more, they can get the product too

There are other foundries too, they could get their phone chip done with Samsung on a similar technology

What is true is that outside of TSCM and Samsung, you don’t have options for high end products
I appreciate the loop from the HN Dropbox reference skit: https://festivus.dev/hacker-news-comments/
> My strong preference is a key command for switching from Bluetooth/USB, and that the keyboard keep both active for instant switching. The only keyboard I’ve found that does this well is the micropython-based M60.

Epomaker's keyboards also do this, at least my SK66 does. Fn+Space switches between wired/BT and Fn+[Z|X|C] switches between the three BT connections. It also flashes blue on the active connection so that you know you've switched into BT mode.
Oh interesting, thanks, I didn't know about that one!

> they literally don't even remember what you said six hours later

This is believable right up until they relate to you what someone else said or did last week or even last month. Then you know that they remember things and are willing to share what they remember with others.
I hate Apple and monopolies as much as anyone. But, no - what was described is not anti-competitive at all.

If - in addition to what was described - part of the deal is that Apple would only make the deal if TSMC would not add any more capacity for 2 years NO MATTER WHAT - that is blatantly anti-competitive and monopolistic.

If no one else is willing to pay for TSMC to build another facility to produce more chips - then that's a free market. Apple was the highest bidder and won.
It's the same here. As much as I'd love to go and use a keyboard like the one shown here, my split ortholinear board has done my wrists and shoulders a world of good. It's so much more comfortable than using any other standard keyboard.
I sincerely wish your friend well.

I don't drink. I used up my quota at eighteen, so I may have some idea what he went through.
I have wondered how feasible it would be to update Seinfeld segments with deepfakes. Have Kramer spin in and go on about NFTs and whatnot. It would obviously be instantly banned everywhere but might be funny.

Or have them recite Reddit or HN threads or something.
Understanding how a computer operates, what an operating system is and does, went the furthest to making me a better programmer. To make an analogy, the more you know about how to maneuver a car at different speeds and conditions the more you "merge" with the car to the point that it's abilities become an extension of your will.
It's dark brown/black. Cause you can't stand out.
Most Delphi examples I see these days are actually modern, recently written malware samples. It statically compiles into a tiny binary which has a weird ABI which flies under the radar of AV software looking for programs up to no good. What's not to love for this purpose if you are an adversarial actor?

The vega/buran strain of ransomware malware comes to mind as a well known example from the past few years [1]

it's nice to see a dedicated low profile keyboard maker. I would love to see if it improves typing speed as well as making typing easier for long time typer by design.
Apple did this with the ipod and later ipod mini too, full exclusivity for small drives in deals (covering music players only) to monopolize the segment, eventually across multiple additional drive manufacturers and technologies after the mini to keep it full monopoly. Everyone else was stuck for years with laptop drives that could never be pocketable.

I'm not sure if node exclusivity was why Apple has the first true wireless earbuds, there was one competitor first with some giant ones so I suspect so, but lots of competitors followed fast (other foundry's nodes were more competitive then). Anyone know the history on that and what nm chips were used by them and earliest competitors?
There is little in life more subjective than humor. These are spreading like wildfire on reddit this week, and now they've shown up here. I'd say it's safe to assume these "are funny," at least to someone.
What a load of crap. Ideas aren't better because they are expressed by xx or xy, ideas are better than others because they factually are. If some men think a woman has better ideas than theirs and start thinking all women are better then men, well I can unambiguously say that these men are dumb. The inverse is also true. Making generalization is generally a mistake. Every one and every thing is usually a part of a statistical population. Some men are better than most other men and women and some women are better than most men and other women. Everything and everyone has to be observed and evaluated for what they bring to the table, not what they are at the table.
But I think the question still stands: I would kill for a science related tech job. But these are not found on indeed, HN or even LinkedIn.

The post-doc job I got after my PhD was through one of my Viva examiners, who forwarded me an email from some science email list. Theres no way I could have found it without him.

There are EU Framework Programme projects that have good funding for research, but you need to know where to look to find them.

Where???
The only outcome of such bans is an unregulated and untaxed black market. See the outcome of the "war on drugs" as an example. If people want to drink alcohol they will find ways to do so. The best governments can do is ensure quality control and tax it (and fund public education and health via those taxes).
“A manufacturer” just Samsung and TSMC do high end chips

Idk if Samsung has an equivalent to TSMC 3nm though

I believe the argument here is that since it's currently an experimental language, future versions might include many currently unplanned keywords.

By making keywords all caps, (and presumably no other user defined names are all caps...I'm not sure if this is enforced by the language or not, but it's a simple enough convention that there is a very low likelihood of it being broken) you ensure that you have the entire namespace of words available to you as keywords for future enhancements to the language.
I moved from the UK to Japan and find a few things interesting about alcohol and drinking culture.

* Many places do "all you can drink deals" sure, students and ying people use this to go crazy but I feel like older people are sensible and just treat it as a way to not worry about prices/splitting the bill.

* Alcohol is very available and very cheap. A bottle of coca cola and a 9% lemon drink are more or less the same price in a convenience store. Spirits and sake are cheap.

* Drunkenness is fairly common but violences is rare. I often see people falling over in the street making merry, or vomiting in the street in less merry moments. I've almost never seen a fist fight, which would be sadly common in the UK.

Any reference on this? Thanks!
I don't know how much it matters, either. Nor why I should care that much.

Pine64 wants to ship working products. It can't do that if it wants to support 30 different Linux distributions or phone products simultaneously. Most of which don't even have extremely basic features working, like cameras or the ability to make phone calls.

Maybe Manjaro isn't the most ideal choice in the world, but it's a hell of a lot better than not making one.
We have lots of written history that validates his generalization and zero reason to believe that peoples who's records did not survive would have done those same things for different reasons.
This is not true. If you go to Japan you will see an army of extremely drunk salarymen every night, and statistically Japanese people do consume a ton of alcohol compared to most western countries.
You wrote: <<U2/SR71 spyplanes overflying other countries.>>

True, 20+ years ago. Today: Spy satellites that can hide and re-position on-command. "Spy planes" are mostly Tom Clancy'esque fiction these days, at least from the perspective of over-head visual light photography. (Radio signals monitoring is a different segment.)

Then you wrote: <<This alone is considered "an act of war".>>

False. There is no single, absolute defintion. In my experience, the Internet is "full of" posts like this one. Words and deeds are two very different things in the Real-Politik World View. Ultimately, no words matter until the "first shot is fired". See China's recent behaviour around Taiwan. Still, not a single shot fired, but a lot of potty/bully talk. (BTW -- I highly recommend China's PR mouthpiece "Global Times" as a parallel equivalent of "The Onion", vis-a-via US-China relations. Their English is but one step above Kim Jong-Un/NK media.)

Finally, you wrote: <<what would the US do if someone flew over their country on spy missions?">>

In the current context, the US military will probably trap the spy plane mid-air (surround with fighter jets) and force them to land in US (or US-friendly) territory. The pilot(s) would be captured as enemy combatants, similar to other spy planes downed over enemy territory over the last 75+ years. FYI: China did this in 2001. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident

As a thought experiment (and I do think this will happen one day): What if China parks an aircraft carrier "one meter" outside US territorial waters (East or West coast), then runs constant military exercises, 24x7, for months and months? Think more brazen: What if Chinese military jets were speed-running over Midtown Manhattan during day light hours "daring" the US military to escalate? It can, and will, happen in our lifetime. Maybe London/Tokyo/Sydney too.
What is the scene exactly? Crushing beers at a bar? Dancing at a club?
And why do people prefer renting to ownership? Because it's cheaper? Because the home buying process is too difficult?

Owning a home, even if its value is deprecating, is fundamentally still more attractive than renting. You get to recoup at least some of your investment, and you don't have property management invading your personal life.

Most people simply can't afford to buy homes in the first place.
> How many non-white Americans get sentenced merely because of driving?

Arresting non-white Americans merely for driving isn't de jure but your question presuppose that it is or that someone her is claiming that it is(nobody is). Can't get any more obvious that you are mixing de jure and de facto.
Because under capitalism, market forces of supply and demand guide production.
Not that I disagree with your overall message, but to nitpick: the "free market" is exactly the thing that fails into "100% monopolistic anti-competitive moves" without "anti-trust regulations". I do not want a free market, I want a regulated market.

Note that 3nm and the rest of the process names in the past decade don't actually measure the size of the transistor - it's all marketing[0], and is why Intel is dropping the "nm" naming in favor of "Intel 7, Intel 4, Intel 3, Intel 20A, Intel 18A"[1]. However, maybe someone can link to resources that explain the potential [quantum] hurdles they have to overcome as they've increased density and performance.

I admittedly have no idea how it works, what the differences are but the article infers that the tech developed here can be used for vaccines. From the article:

“If it does,” he added, “it might provide a new therapeutic and also contribute to new vaccine strategies.”

Maybe you know, is this just for therapeutics and not vaccines?

Searchaggregate looks nice. I can easily switch engines depending on the search queries.
Unfortunate. That will be three straight iPhones on essentially the same node, which I think hasn't happened yet.

Might also lead to some awkwardness for Apple in having to port a design running on an older node to a newer one, if M3 does use 3nm.

By all accounts, and if the pattern holds true, the M[n] chip is generally the scaled up version of the latest A series design.

So if we have a release of A15 on 5nm, and the M3 is going to be based off that design, but ported to 3nm, that's kind of an interesting situation.
The island of Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China, and they will decide what to do with it and when. What Americans think, want or say is irrelevant.
Then it's not a free market anymore. And I say that being a very leftist person, what you wish isn't compatible with capitalism as it is.
Okay, let's take this same logic and move it up one layer of abstraction.

There are multiple fabricators (supply) and a small pool of chip manufacturers (demand).

As a chip manufacturer, I cannot go out and buy competitive silicon. I can't even get last-gen silicon. The best you can get is an improved 7nm node from Samsung, but nobody wants to run their CPU on the blood and guts of Exynos chips. So, by definition, I'd say that Apple has monopolized the cutting-edge lithography business through leveraging a partner.
I worked in the game industry for years and left it, I've made games before.

The engine I'm making is for a very specific need (initially made to help someone else make a specific game), a few people have been using it to make their games, but it's a pretty niche thing for narrative games - https://get-narrat.com/

I'm making it for fun, but I don't expect something like that to ever make money, for that I'd need some big companies to decide to sponsor it and pay me, which is super unlikely.

Yeah, this is addressed in the book as well. Thinking about your career in terms of capital is really just a useful simplification, but obviously doesn’t capture all the nuance and politics that one has to navigate in a larger corporate environment.

There needs to be self-advocacy, a little luck, and the willingness to walk away (just like in any negotiation)
They should break off and commercialize just the cross-platform GUI and rapid development IDE for that and put a language like Go under it. Go with a good RAD IDE would be so amazing, like yank out my wallet and throw money at you while shaking amazing.

Give me a good cross platform GUI. Give me a good IDE for it. Don't make me learn yet another fucking programming language that exists nowhere else to use it.

The last part counts against this and also against Flutter, which forces you to learn Dart which is used nowhere but Flutter. What would have been wrong with Go or TypeScript? People already know those.

Most successful languages are open source for very clear reasons, but a cross platform IDE is something that could very well justify being commercial. It's an absolute ton of work and a constant moving target to support. So far no pure open source effort has managed to succeed unless you count the various HTML-based GUI systems that are indirectly subsidized by Google and Apple.
> In the US, tobacco use kills 7x as many as the oft-cited opiate “epidemic”, yet you don’t even need a prescription for cigarettes.

The people cigarettes kill are disproportionately older, and they are not killed by any single act of smoking a cigarette, as can happen with opiate overdose, but instead by the cumulative health effects of smoking. That difference is consequential for societies and communities.

Smoking is also more broadly distributed across society, and not nearly as demographically targeted as the opioid situation, debilitating particular types of communities.

A more valid comparison for the opioid situation was the crack situation.
Costanza would the be the one who gets into tech (by lying to investors), makes it big, then blows everything up (because he has no idea what he's doing). Kramer would offer George some help, in exchange for all of his shares in the company. Kramer proceeded to clean up the mess George left, then offload the entire company to private equity for an undisclosed sum.

The episode would close with Kramer sitting at a table, facing the camera, smoking a cigar, shaking hands with a whole crew of men, who aren't facing the camera, but look distinctly like a few famous tech people, Branson, Gates, Cuban, etc
I’m in your shoes but if you push through the first section they go back and define things so you can understand what they’re on about. Wether you’ll find it interesting is a different topic though!
Speaking in the context of India, you can argue secularism has sort of failed here too. The problem happens to be with the top-down approach. You can't exactly ram down these political concepts down peoples throats. And when the popular leaders who were executing these concepts die, in time these projects fail.

Secularism really is more of a process than a law, you can't exactly legislate a culture into people. On the longer term, you need lots of good intentions sustained over decades, and you need investments in education sector to keep them going.
Okay, I understand the distinction but as I said, it seems to be a distinction without a difference.

The idea of REST has evolved beyond the initial definition to include a broader and far more impactful meaning. The abstraction of UI over data. The important piece is the data.

I could make an entire website, entry point and all that only returned json and included the links for actions users could take and other pages they could visit. Whether I use a browser to see that or my terminal with a cURL makes no difference.
But we must talk about our projects. What's the best option?
> The design looks beautiful

The numbers look ugly IMO, and they are also a lot bigger than the letters.

Other than that, it does look quite good.

Everything is too big and zoom out is broken. Honestly it's completely unreadable to me. I'm not even exaggerating, I really cannot read the "Introducing..." sentence.

There's no way to get a full view of the keyboard layout. The only full image is vertical (wtf), spinning (wtf) and doesn't fit on my 27" monitor (wtf). I would almost be ok if zoom out worked, but it doesn't.

Update: writing this, I see now that the top image shows the full keyboard horizontally... for 1 full second. With no way to pause the animation. And it keeps spinning and spinning.

Also the mouse cursor is horrendous and unnecessary.

I feel like I would like the design of this keyboard (except for the font choice which I don't like at all), but the website refuses to show it to me. Too bad.

Also why is there a "shft" key instead of "shift"? Did the "i" not fit?

super cool to see the maturity in knowing what you want. i realize now that i was wayyyyy more profitable (cash money in my pocket) when my startup was literally 10x smaller. for those aspiring to be the next big blow up, as you grow/scale, overhead and the need to manage your own people start taking over from building product and supporting/making your customers happy.

for context, i'm at ~$400k MRR/just shy of ~$5M ARR and i make way less (in cash) now than i did at $40k MRR. don't get me wrong, the enterprise value has supposedly gone up but that's a lottery ticket versus the consistent cash in your pocket.

This is about connecting multiple networks together and doing routing between them.
If you bridge them all on layer 2, things get messy fast when dealing with busses (see [0]), but if you don't need IPv4 backwards compatibility, you can just use routing and treat each network segment as it's own subnet.

See the talk on last year's RIOT summit about this [1]

The auto-subnets module won't do that, but it will happily divide the /56 you get from your ISP into multiple subnets without administrative intervention.
