I don't really understand how one has the nerve to ‘fix’ levels in a classic game. But at least, I vaguely remember reading that it might be possible to disable gameplay changes in ‘Revision’—haven't tried it myself yet, but I'm planning on only enabling graphics enhancements.
Pretty much. The US can subsidize the industry to any extent we want, not much TMSC could do to stop us.
Yes I just noticed that, interesting break from the past two releases!
Yea I was working on a Unity game that originally had a WebGL build. At one point I implemented a 3rd party plugin that required multi-threading for real-time rope simulation (Obi Rope), and at that point WebGL basically became impossible for the game.
TSMC Taiwan is panicking that the World will loose its interest in defending Taiwan against China once processors can be made elsewhere.

This is a surface level take on the situation.

The disruptions to global shipping would be enormous, to say nothing of security implications, or fear of open conflict between nuclear powers. Potential destruction of semi-conductor fabs would be just the tip of the iceberg.
The graph with the semiconductor market shares by country could use some more data points. For instance, it would be interesting to see if AMD's decision to build some fabs in Germany (https://de-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/AMD_Saxony?_x...) significantly moved the needle upwards for "Europe" starting with 1999...

I myself paint watercolor and oil, am learning violin, joined a sailboat race team, am writing a book, started my own successful business that earns my living, lift weights, read 35 books, hiked 1000 miles of the AT, and became a volunteer firefighter, all this year. I'm currently designing a cabin I want to build. I'm having a blast. I definitely don't do as much with any of these hobbies as someone who only has one hobby, but I don't care, give me variety!

I had just mentioned an old aphorism in a previous comment:

"It's not work, if you love what you do."

That's certainly where I'm at. That comment was part of a thread, where someone pointed out that they were making fun of me, on Reddit (Oh dear, whatever shall I do?), and where I had mentioned that I currently code every single day (like, 7 days a week), and learn something new, every day.

When I left my last company (after almost 27 years), I tried finding work, and was frozen out (because gray hair). I'm quite sure that I would have been able to get work, if I had been willing to put on a bib, and eat s**t. I just found that prospect unpalatable, and I had enough, so it was not a desperate situation.

I was forced into retirement.

Best thing that ever happened to me. After five years out of the rat race, I have no intention of being dragged back into the fracas.

Most of the misery of my work life was caused by bad management. I like to think that I was a good manager (my employees seemed to think so), but I was hobbled by corporate policy, and the dozens of terrible managers around and above me.

Since leaving, I have worked harder than I ever have, and I love it. I am used to getting up early, and accomplishing more, by 9AM, than I used to get done, all day in the office. I take breaks when I want. I'll even nap, from time to time, or catch up on the soaps, and I still bang out one hell of a lot of really high-Quality stuff, really, really quickly.

Of course, a lot of ship, is not fun. The fun part is usually the first 30%. The last 70% of a ship project is not so much fun.

I do it, anyway.

The reason is because I'm a completionist. I like to finish stuff. Makes me feel all warm, inside.

Just to clarify, we're discussing a scenario where China invades another country and triggers a global economic meltdown, and the jurisdiction you're making snide comments about is... America?

America is the nation stopping this happening.
What would delay or stop the US is not having sufficient people with sufficient knowledge and having to re R&D it which is never guaranteed.

Saudi Arabia’s king can give their people all the money they want, but they will not be able to buy the technical and management expertise and culture that takes decades to develop without waiting decades for it to develop, with the risk that it does not.
scp doesn't work as their default reader renames the file and keeps a database. (That's probably why it doesn't present a usb disk.) Getting files to my remarkable (1) is honestly my only complaint with it.

You can run koreader or others, and then scp would be usable.

But since you're insinuating fracking is as bad as nuking a city... you do realize that emissions went down in the US while electricity generation rose due to nat. gas displacing coal thanks to fracking?

You don’t write low level, close to the hardware software with Python or Java. You use something like C, Rust or assembler. Constitutions are the firmware. Building nations is an old, old craft and the legal instruments used to define have been being written for thousands of years. In many ways our constitution is the Rust of these documents in that it focused on security of structure and by the time it was ratified, security of individual rights over everything else.

Most that seek to change the constitution want to take away rights or add new ones. It is good it is hard to change, especially when many of the change seekers can’t even get the popular support to get a law passed or a veto overridden.
Neither did I until a few months ago, had like 1 spam per week for about 2 months. Then it stopped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thats another problem we can throw money at until it is resolved.
A big part of this story is infered from recent comments from their CEO Morris Chang, a western educated & trained 91-old man who essentially built a nation's economy. At his age and success I'm not surprised he has some strongly defined views that align past success with future outcomes.
The measurements (45W) was the average power consumption at the wall by my DS918+ equipped with 4 x 8TB WD Red drives. WD Red drives do not support spin down, so at most they're idle.

Synology does publish power consumption for each model, i.e. for the DS920+ (https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS920+#specs) model they state :

- 32.17W access
- 9.69W HD Hibernation

But, they also specify that the drives used for their calculation is

Power consumption is measured when it is fully loaded with Western Digital 1TB WD10EFRX hard drive(s).

And looking up power consumption of that particular model we get

- read/write 3.7W
- idle 3.1W
- standby 0.6W

so for the "access" vaule we can subtract 4x3.7W (14.8) and see that the device itself uses 17.37W. Then lookup the power consumption of your drives, i.e. WD80EFAX (https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library...), and find

- read/write 8.8W
- idle 5.5W
- standby 0.8W

So you add the 4x8.8W (35.2W) to the 17.37W and arrive at 52.57W for "access".
Holy cow dude...!!

It's doubtful anyone genuinely believed that an offensive term for a lesbian was the most appropriate parsing of that sentence. It's just a bad faith argument and I'm you understand that.

People in power today are too corrupt to be trusted with amending the constitution. Most amendments have only served big financial interests by stifling free-market competition. Ideally, we should roll-back the entire legal system to how it was in the 1900s.

Correct. If you make it easier to amend in order to assail your current grievance, it won’t be long before someone else gets into power in order to assail their current grievance, which may be free speech, or worse.
It might be true, if the stored data is truly anonymized, as they seem to not be storing any data on the browser.

There is a fuzzy line somewhere between access-logs and user-tracking.

Personally I think that at that point, one should just stop loading analytic scripts and stick to server-side access-log analytic toolg like goaccess.io.

The .sh extension told me it's a shell script of some kind.

I don't check everything I download from the internet; I don't think anyone does. It depends on what it is, where I'm getting it from, where I'm running it, etc. There are certainly some things I will review carefully, but other things I give just a quick check to see it's not in complete shambles, and others I barely check at all. I typically run the latest Vim from master, do I check every patch to see if after 30 years Bram finally sneaked in a crypto miner or password stealer? Do the people who package Vim for the Linux distros?
Eucla is one of my favourite places in the world. It's mentioned on a lot of huge-scale maps, purely because it's a 5-letter place name in the middle of a vast empty open space.

It's a tiny little place, like a motel, post office and petrol station and that's about it. I've stayed overnight there a couple of times, and the stars are incredible - no light pollution at all.
> yes, Afghanistan and China share a border

They do, but it's a) extremely short, and b) highly unlikely to be crossed on land, as it's along the ridges of very high mountains.
Every quantum leap in technology like EUV provides opportunities for new entrants. While the entry price is steep this is somewhat mitigated by the entry door being narrow i.e. tooling suppliers. Conveniently ASML has lost China as a customer due to the US embargo so negotiations about pricing for the US deliveries are a bit more relaxed than what one would expect with such narrow supply.
How deciding against using an available energy source that might might help with alleviating short-term problems (nuclear power being an even more obvious and readily available option) could be considered even remotely similar to nuking a major city is beyond me.
I've added match boundary markers now so it should be clearer why your RegEX might not be right.

I’ve always felt the numbers people enter into the Drake equation overly optimistic.

I think the odds of a planet developing life by random chance in the first place is astronomical, and then the odds of that developing into intelligent life - that happens to have the necessary appendages to build things and lives in an environment amenable to creating tech - almost certainly an astronomically small portion of life bearing planets.

I think people assume evolution is an inherent progression towards intelligence, but that’s not the case. It’s just a progression towards more fit, and intelligence is one of many different advantages. In the timeframe of life on this planet, intelligence has been the dominant apex trait for an infinitesimally small amount of time. I think it’s completely imaginable that sapiens could have easily died out to even slightly stronger or more armored yet less intelligent predators. We had a very lucky roll.

I could absolutely see intelligent life being less-than-one-per-galaxy levels of rare.

For the sake of argument, let’s argue crows, marine mammals, canines, and octopus are all in the grand scheme roughly of similar intelligence to us. The octopus is likely the only of the bunch with the necessary body type to potentially build things of any complexity, and then it’s environment is so disadvantageous to the endeavor it’s almost unimaginable they could reach spacefaring.

Try to imagine what a setback it would be to try to discover smelting or electricity underwater. It’s not an impossibility, but I suspect it’s inherently a small fraction of underwater societies that discover it at all. Think of how many large organized societies rose and fell in humanity, with all our advantages, before one finally happened to stumble upon the power of steam - and even then actually put it to use at scale!

I think it’s a fair question to ask: what percentage of our technological development comes down to our bodies being at their core a very poor fit for our environment such that death by exposure is a very real threat. We needed to invent clothing just to survive outside a temperate belt. An intelligent creature that naturally lives more happily in its environment may simply never have the need to invent in the first place.
TDD. It gave me a framework to write easier to understand code and solved my verification issues. Not sure I would still be a coder if it wasn't for that.
I don't think the DNS exercise would behave the same although that probably depends on how the container was setup. Docker usually controls /etc/resolv.conf. Another exercise is "try to figure out if you're in a container or VM so that'd definitely be different"
If you are on Windows or Linux, Powershell is a decent scripting language that comfortably replaces Shell for scripted task running. The commands are vastly more readable and you get an okay experience with branches.

I'd also say that in most cases Python is also a better choice, especially when you use the ! syntax.
The CEO said this almost verbatim to Pelosi on her recent trip to Taiwan.

>> When US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in August, she met with Morris Chang and Mark Liu, chair of TSMC. Chang told Pelosi that Washington's efforts to rebuild its chip manufacturing were doomed to fail,

a question:

We have the ARM licensing example. Could a player like TSMC do a reverse license where they license out their FABs factories for different other players? Or is that at the core of what they do but in different form?
Morris Chang is a Chinese Nationalist, so obviously his point of view includes what he thinks best for the Republic of China.

TSMC is a strategic asset and most of its value and leverage it confers stem from it being physically located in Taiwan. That's exactly why the US are pushing for them to build more fabs in the US and why Taiwanese authorities are most probably not keen but they also need to preserve their relation with the US...

No compiler there so the compiler can't tell you the type. No IDE there so the IDE can't tell you the type. You're at the mercy of colleague(s) not to write code like var request = service.call() or, worse, var b = getResult().
I keep it in front of my keyboard in landscape mode, like a large trackpad. I've scribbled over 2000 pages since I bought it. Meeting notes, planning, algorithm design, mind maps... I usually never read again what I doodle on it, only sometimes it helps me refresh some data. So it's like unlimited paper.
If Taiwan really sees chips as a "silicon shield" that's all the more
reason to redouble efforts to diversify sources.

But I'm confused, because the title is: "TSMC says efforts to rebuild
US semiconductor industry are doomed to fail"

It's obvious why they want to say that but nowhere in the short piece
is there a single word as to "why?". Doom is not discussed. Nor in the
linked Taiwan Financial Times. Morris Chang must have some sort of
theory, right? Economic? Technical? Political?

Maybe its that TSMC just manufacturer stuff. They transparently
produce silicon for anyone who wants it around the world.

Intel (read the many recent HN threads here about management engines,
non-transparency etc) bake political control agendas into their
silicon.

Biden should spend that $50B on creating a portfolio of smaller,
independent rivals to AMD and Intel's fabrication. With state of the
art fab plants that just make what their customers ask them to we can
let the US/Euro market in silicon IP flourish... RISC-V and much more.

Propping up behemoths that have wonky agendas, lines of old and
failing products, and refuse to listen to what markets really want
might be the "doom" Mr Chang is alluding to.
> Huh? Previously, state representatives elected senators; after the 17th, the voters did. How does either of these things end "state representation" ?

Who’s their boss? At the moment senators answer to the people of a state, previously they answered to state government.

This changes the reasoning of why we have laws at the federal level. The senators representing a state would be fired for giving up sovereignty; not so for those elected via popular vote. Those elected by popular vote are incentivized to give out goodies to the masses.

State legislators could easily fire and switch senators. Public opinion on the senators didn’t matter nearly as much. If a person of a state wanted influence over the senators they had to focus on local elections.

There’s a whole lot of changes, not really sure what’s being missed?
No, it doesn't. The extensions are usually too inaccurate to rely on. That could be either a Bourne or Bash script, meaning it could either fail at some arbitrary point during run if the wrong one is used, or just subtly, critically change some output. Much more true for Python scripts.
This is what we should expect if CDBC became widespread
Excellent point. Thanks for this. Fixing it.
Notes from kernel hacking in Hare, part 3: serial driver
I will have to disagree. There are some aspects of life that are not purchase-able, at least not on a timescale that can be attributed to a single leadership group (and therefore unlikely to garner sufficient political support).
The extensions are improper from the outset. Commands should not have extensions.

Well all decisions ARE made in the brain, conscious or not, and whatever consciousness is, it resides in those neurons. That is also influenced by various inputs of the rest of the body, of course, but I think we can safely assume "self" exists in the brain. Thinking it reversely, can we really say an organism with various complex parts but no brain has consciousness?

You are not a disconnected consciousness, but some body parts are more easily discarded than others, and I think the brain tops most (all?) of the others regarding survivability - and is irreplaceable regarding the "self".
Yes, I'd say this is the norm nearly everywhere I've been -- although I've mostly only been to universities in higher-income countries.

There are occasional exceptions; for example, the American University of Beirut had manned gates, although the guards usually just let people walk through.

The one common exception I've seen is libraries. For example, at the main library at the University of South Carolina, there is a gate, and you have to either swipe your campus ID or register as a visitor.
The issue I have with powershell is the extreem verbosity.

But that's just a personal thing and not something that I can realy blame the language.
100 developers in isolation without product definition, project management, marketing, sales, etc. isn't going to prove fruitful. It would be like asking what 100 carpenters would work on, absent of an architect/project plans, plumbers (are those DBA's in this analogy?), electricians, roofers, realtors, etc. you're going to get a bunch of random walls, stairs and some framed structures. I would expect similar output from 100 devs - random bits of software.

Depending on skills the easiest path to success might be to open a developer consultancy type of shop where they work on other people's projects.

>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.

Westerners are incredibly selectively blind when it comes to nationalism. They pretend no one believes in it any more then every 20 years or so they blow up the world with it. Last time was 9/11, before that was German unification.

I can't fathom the self delusion this takes.

They don’t get accurate information. If Xi or Putin tells the military and economic planners to prepare for war in the next 5 years, who’s going to tell them if they’re not ready?
>- When Tim Cook succeeded Steve he knew he wasn’t a product person so Jony Ive took on that role

I would argue in Steve's calculation, Tim Cook was suppose to settle any dispute between Ive and Scot Forstall. And Ive would stick to Industrial Product Design. While the Software would be from another Team of UI expert.

Instead Tim Cook gave every design decision to Ive. And Tim Cook "merged" those group together in the name of "collaboration". A few from HIG Group retired due to conflict with Ive. And we end up with iOS7.

>- Acquiring Beats and launching Apple Music, plus the revenue from the ever growing App Store offered Tim Cook a way out, in the eyes of investors.

I am pretty sure that is Eddy Cue's idea. Arguably the current Apple seems to be Eddy Cue's Apple. Apple Music, Apple TV+.
They should have panicked and outsourced earlier. The current state can't remain. Doesn't matter if the world defends Taiwan, or what the outcome would be, the moment China attacks or a natural catastrophe hits the semi industry there is doomed. The fact that so much important tech is concentrated on this tiny island is a huge risk regardless of any dangers.
