I detest this meme where supposedly every hour you have is translatable to money.

It isn't as if you can sell every hour of your time whenever you feel like it. If it were that way, you'd be able to say: "I pay $1500+ for going to the toilet each month":

> A software engineer who makes $100,000 a year, working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, makes about $50/hour.

So let's say 1 hour of toilet time per day on average, so: 30 * 50 = 1500.

What nonsense.
This is what I have been dreaming for years. Amazing job!
Bitwarden's managed service is just $10/year (or free if you don't need TOTP), and it's FOSS.
No it's not a knockoff (although it should be Boox not Box). And Oynx built their own software too? Just on top of Android instead of Linux. It's pretty customized and their apps are well designed to work on eInk screens. Android just adds a boat load of functionality because you get access to a ton of apps that work well on a touch screen.
Lots of hate but I really like mine:

- Drag and drop PDFs from the browser to upload
- Read a ton of books I wouldn't normally read (yes can do this on a kindle but it has a much bigger display)
- Journaling with my own templates
- Kids can scribble and play hangman etc on planes
- Gets rid of the stacks of notebooks in my house
- Has that wow factor when people/clients see it
- Natural writing feel
- Pretty robust (knocks around in my backpack)

Really nice tech purchase. I got it before the subscription but paid more for it as a result.
I fell in love with it when I first saw it, but had to return it after discovering that it was barely usable for my eyesight without backlight.

On the other hand, I love my Kindle, not for the closed ecosystem, but for the rather slick (compared with eg. the German Tolino) UX.

I am afraid that the new Kindle with pen will be a killer for the ReMarkable 2, as much as I would have preferred a small company making the race.

I’m telling you you have no idea how anything works or why design choices are made in fields where you’re holding forth with an authority inversely proportional to your ignorance. Your very basic and ignorant idea of mathematics or modern finance isn’t worth my time. Especially if you think newton raphson should be any sort of standard for finding numerical roots in 2022. I shudder to think of how you’d approach a seemingly irrational exponent or something. Or how you’d incorporate something as simple as e^x. Would you use a rainbow table? The possibilities for abuse are truly endless.
Well, that’s assumptive. People will naturally work in whatever manner suits them best. Some kids study alone some kids study in groups.

Very low quality article, does not give any reasons at all why TSMC believes this (and they have an ulterior motive). Just a naked assertion.
Not true. Consent has nothing to do with cookies. If you look at what the ePrivacy Directive article 5.3. says, it's pretty clear:

"Member States shall ensure that the storing of information, or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned has given his or her consent, ... "

So even Fathom, and other analytics tools that use browser fingerprinting or similar methods require consent.

And also, the whole no cookie, no consent -mantra does not respect user privacy. In some ways, browser fingerprinting is even worse because that's much harder for an average user to block than cookies.
Relying on errexit to save one from disaster is also often fatal, except for surpassingly simple scripts. While inside of many different kinds of control structures, the errexit is disabled, and usually just provides a false sense of security.

For someone who knows errexit can't be trusted, and codes defensively anyway, it's fine.
And it was never breached directly, instead it was the failure of France (a certain General Huntziger stabds out), the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands to halt the German invasion through the low countries. For all intended purposes, the Marginot line worked as intended and didn't fail. A lot of other stuff did. By now you can basically use the Maginot line as a litmus test whether or not people properly analyzed a topic or if they work based on memes.

Edit: The push through the Ardennes was a gamble even the German army, and its Generals, were surprised to actually work.
Fascinating! I had no idea that Mark Miller had brought in ideas from E into JavaScript.

I used to play with E back when I was studying infosec. I was very interested in capability based security.

Also not a little ironic that a language often regarded as one of least secure has elements from one of the most secure languages ever designed!

It seems weird how you stress the profitability aspect in your two previous comments. As if something that is profitable increases its illegality - whereas when something is legal but really unhealthy, like nicotine, it can be as profitable as you want. Double standards, where being legal takes precedent over health.

Such a bureaucratic processes are textbook examples really bad policy that pushes people to black markets. But certain northern European countries just love that approach, I know.

It's unclear. There were discussions on the rustc Zulip that recently pointed to LLVM being actually quite performant at canonicalizing poor-quality IR; so any time saved in the backend by producing better IR is offset by the additional time spent in the front-end to produce that IR.

We're going a bit off topic here but I'll expand a bit.

If we both (presumably) start from the premise of "this invasion is a bad thing", then following this up with "anyone who supports it is just a moron duped my propaganda" and/or "the Russian administration are simply crazy" isn't helpful. This did not happen in isolation, it happened against a backdrop of decades of western failures in diplomacy & deterrence.

That's worth examining if we wish to prevent future wars.
I mean, this is how the USA works. It is widely speculated that the USG will retaliate against Apple for shipping true end-to-end encryption software that does not enable surveillance unless they (Apple) do some sort of clientside scanning. This seems to indicate that Apple's 1A rights to publish software are being infringed.

Presently all large/webscale messengers in the USA (iMessage, WhatsApp, etc) all have backdoors in the e2ee that allow the FBI et al to access message content at will (often without a warrant or probable cause).
That looks very nice! How is the data saved?

Last time I checked, people want to get from point A to point B with their cars, which are as cheap as possible.

Staggering amount of regular citizens all over the world does not even know that their car can already park itself using USS or have a cruise control, let alone how to trigger that function.

Tech is irrelevant to most of users, because main goal is to get to destination. Everything else are decorations on a Christmas tree. However from some reason tech bros likes to overplay importance of tech.
The real politics of the situation for Taiwan is that if a fight breaks out, the US will happily send them weapons but they need to do the fighting. The US will be happy to supply guns, but is naturally diversifying chip making to de-risk the issue for itself and the world.

Look at Ukraine, aside from grain and a few specialty items, it's not a huge exporter to the world. Yet a serious war there has caused global problems. China going for an expansionist romp into Taiwan will be 20X as impactful.

Anyway, I thought things were going to go a lot different in 1999, last 20 years have been a real ride.
I bought one a few months ago and I definitely use it most days.

Except I don't use it for note taking, I use it to think about what I'm doing tool: doodling essentially.

Boxes, arrows, circles, words... Then the code virtually writes itself. It's like a code extractor or glasses for my mind.

I'd say that honestly, a pen a paper would do the same. I just got into the marketing and bought one. It's nice to have erasing that leaves no traces, and undo/redo.

As for the cons, I'd say the contrast isn't as good as I'd like it to be in low light. I don't work in a very bright environment, and the ceiling splashing reflection of light makes it sometimes hard to read PDFs/ePubs.
The parent commenter means to say that for most of the game in Deus Ex, the player doesn't see the protagonist. (Can't remember if the cutscenes shown him from a third-person view.)
The threat is higher for the West because the PRC would take control of all that, or all that capacity would be destroyed. That's what Taiwan wants.

On the other hand, the PRC needs to build their own semi industry, which they are doing, and which American sanctions are pushing them to do, up to the point where the potential cost of losing Taiwanese supplies is 'acceptable'.

Ultimately the aim of re-unifying the whole of China is a deep national and political undertaking, not an economic or financial one, so a level of economic/financial cost would be accepted.
Talking to the end-users has been, for me, the most enjoyable and productive part of developing software. Conversely, it frustrates me to no end that it's basically impossible to communicate my issues as an end-user to the only people that can actually fix it... the developers.

A random example of the former scenario: I was once having home-made muffins for morning tea, baked by the lovely old ladies working in the support centre. I had developed a GUI support console for them. While chatting away, I noticed (and they complained) that looking up customer contact details was time consuming.

Most developers stick within their "vertical stovepipes" and would never dream of pulling in data from unrelated systems managed by other teams. Getting contact data from an LDAP directory is "just a query" however and takes minutes to whip up. I added this feature by lunch time, and walked back to the support centre and demoed this.

This cut wasted time for half a dozen people in half. A trivial bit of code that eliminated mindnumbing labour, allowing these people to help other people faster and better.

As a converse example: I can take apart a commercial product and diagnose the key flaws in mere hours. I'll tell you every fundamental flaw you've made, and the list the trivial fixes that would make your customers jump for joy.

Generally speaking, I'm not permitted to do so.

Just like how most of my customers weren't permitted to speak to me, and a few lucky ones only got the chance because they happened to be within walking distance and were generous with their muffins.
It lost me at the assertion of the 100x productivity differences between programmers. There's not a single study that shows this to be true (that I'm aware of, happy to hear if anyone has one).

I don't think programmers are fungible, there are differences in productivity, as you'd expect, but even the more-commonly-cited "10x" is bullshit.

Setting up a dao doesn't magically cut you off from any legal liability. See https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2022/05/putati... and https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2022/10/cftc-s...

The fun part is: "CFTC’s order first finds that virtual currencies traded on the bZx Protocol, including ETH and DAI, are “commodities” under the CEA.", which is close to "It's cute you set up your daos and automated protocols, but legally that's irrelevant."

Regarding ignoring the identity: "The order further finds that the Ooki DAO failed to adopt a customer identification program, in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act and the Commission regulations promulgated thereunder."

Up until Putin decided to just go ahead anyway and invade Ukraine I considered leadership in Russia, and by some extend of that, China to be autocratic but at least not stupid. That both, Putin and Ping, apparently lost all ability to properly calculate risk and derive rational decisions from that, was honestly a surprise.

People like Erdogan and MBS, sure, those are just irrational, deluded bullies. Apparently Putin and, it seems, Ping, are the same
>Imagine the Chinese economy with 92% of the world’s supply of advanced computer chips gone.

PRC economy will suffer much less than US economy with 92% of the world’s supply of advanced computer chips gone. Considering how US reaps significant value add from IP through the entire semi chain. Or relative loss for US high tech with greater market caps. Or that PRC strategic industries are losing access to those chips due to US export controls. Pretty soon PRC dependency on TSMC will be reduced to point where it will be in PRC interest to disrupt TW semi because world where US has access to 8% leading edge semi and PRC 0% is preferable to one where US has access to 100% but PRC... still somewhere around 0%.

Even in a relatively more homogenous North America individual experiences are going to differ greatly. I think it's more illustrative to compare your public school years with post secondary, that's where I saw a huge difference.IMO the attributes that were mocked (and thus likely supressed) suddenly become unique and desireable. This might have been because if you somehow managed to maintain "the good type of weird" just when so many young adults were trying to figure out who they really were, you were ahead of the game.
Backed by the might of its own economy, surely the US can rebuild dominance in any technological area it happens to choose given its strategic position and aims?

TSMC’s assertion “We’re the best, don’t even try competing” strikes me as “fear masked by false bravado” - a bit pointless, really.

Either they are wrong or they are indirectly predicting the bancruptcy of the PV industry at large. I'd bet at the former, all that additional production capacity will be used one way or another.
So first of all the article is a bit confusing: Object.freeze does make an object immutable:

const t = Object.freeze({foo: "bar"});
// throws an error in strict mode,
// silently does nothing otherwise
t.foo = "baz";
// prints "bar"
console.log(t.foo);

The tricky part is that it does not do so recursively:

const t2 = Object.freeze({foo: {bar: "baz"}});
// bar is still mutable
t2.foo.bar = "oh no!";
// prints "oh no!"
console.log(t2.foo.bar);

Still, one can easily write a function to recursively do a depth-first walk on an object and make everything immutable, so this is not really a concern in practice (if anything it gives you more flexibility).

Anyway, what I think Miller meant is that immutability is not the main reason why they introduced Object.freeze.

If I understand correctly, the main idea is to prevent people from inserting malicious code in the prototype chain (or anywhere else they might be able to).

Because JavaScript is prototype based I could in theory create a new Array class that uses the original Array class as its own prototype, then replace the Array class with itself. If you then create a new array it would still work like a regular one - it just goes up the prototype chain after all.

The malicious part is that this custom array class could then also override all Array methods to secretly watch your data and send stuff to the web without you noticing, or do anything else really. Because, again, it can just call the original method of its prototype to also behave as normal without anyone noticing.

Object.freeze would let you make sure none of the fundamental JavaScript objects can be tampered with.

The other thing is that you can ensure that any the library you create cannot be tampered with by third-party libraries.

I'll have to give it another look if the situation presents itself. I think one factor of Java being remembered so unfavorably was it being early in my career.

I do think there should be a distinction on what is lumped as verbosity. Golang is vertically verbose with its error checking, and Java in my experience is at least more horizontally verbose (long lines).

1. Of course Morris Chang would say this.

2. It's also significant that Morris Chang openly is saying this. Publically, and repeatedly. And possibly specifically to Pelosi given the politics behind him merely being in the same room as her.

Important read between the lines consideration is whether Chang's attitude will affect success of TSMC fabs in US. Apart from being burnt in past, he has also been consistently against building leading edge fabs abroad and IMO maybe personally invested in undermining unprofitable expansion efforts (without even going into geopolitics of silicon shield). The consensus when rumor of TSMC building fabs in US (pre CHIPs) was that it made no sense because TSMC already announced record CAPEX investment in TW months prior, and there was no money for new expansion let alone leading edge. Post confirmation of Arizona fab and so far the sentiment I've gleaned is that the CHIPs subsidies to TSMC + culture differences still makes the expansion not worthwhile for Chang.

That's just the practical operations/economical considerations. Now layer on the geopolitics, i.e. eroding TW silicon shield, behind scene US pressure to get these fabs, unilateral export controls disrupting/severing TSMC's PRC business/interests. TLDR is maybe Chang is just really (understandably) annoyed at US fucking around with his company and maybe even him on an individual level considering there was probably some sticks being whipped behind the scenes especially if the CHIPs subsidy carrot wasn't enough.

Question is if that will affect success of TSMC fabs in US. I'm sure you'll find similar feels in board rooms of Samsung/JP equipment makers. There's a reason US had to announce new unilateral export controls after talking up / pushing through CHIP4s as collective effort to constrain PRC tech, Asian semi countries have no interest in US gaining semi independence/dominance at their cost.

E: To add, US discussion around TSMC has gotten to the absurd point where TW media in the past months had to retort: No US Army War College, we're not rigging fabs to explode; and we're not goin gto cooperate with paperclipping all our semi engineers in event of war. We're going prioritize evacuating grown ass men over women and children first like any other sane planners.
You're right.

Personally, I treat setup of the workstation as one-off things, I don't archive configurations for stuff other than vim and an additional script for bashrc.

I prefer to have the build and runtime environments be independent of the host machine to some degree, so there are docker images available for executing the build, these contain stuff like compilers and libraries and even npm cache for nodejs stuff
