On the advice of numerous HN threads, I switched from Homebrew to Nix, and gave it a 6 month shot. Nix was great at first: simple, fast, elegant. However, I quickly realized that the simplicity was a facade that even a casual user would eventually be forced to remove. And what you find behind the facade gets really, complex really quickly.

What I appreciate about Homebrew is that in years of using it, I have never felt the need to dive deeply into its inner workings. For the most part, it just works. I can access the utilities I need to do my work and reliably keep them updated. Homebrew has its problems for sure, but the tooling has improved immensely over the recent years. So thank you for your work!!!

Also side note, I just recently discovered the brew bundle command's --global flag. It basically let's you use a declarative format globally installed taps, formula, casks, and vscode extensions. I can add the .Brewfile to my dotfiles repo to sync across machines. Though, it's not really what the bundle command is meant for, it sure beats manually copying down and installing the list of formula.

I'm not a big fan of DHH, but I think this is a pretty good description of the problem. I wrote a short visual essay on the same subject here: https://sonnet.io/posts/face/

Work (especially creative work) can be healing but it can also be a form of escapism, or rather an avoidance mechanism. That's because to many of us being immersed in work can be more comfortable than facing difficult emotions.
Those cache attacks rely on accurate timing because the method of data exfiltration is faster access to array members that were cached in a speculative access.
By fudging the time (JS doesn't need ns or even µs accuracy) those issues are pretty much solved.

Part of it is also the vastly greater complexity of axi buses and svi2 buses and trusted compute modules that load stuff for the processor... Yeah I can't even follow the boot procedure of a modern computer. The arm cores in a usb3 controller have more juice than the computers I bhad back then.

Speaking in general terms here to avoid NAXALT responses but it’s been my experience that the Raku/Perl crowd enjoy being clever for clever’s sake and are more concerned about the language itself than the problems being solved. I can see advantages of this cleverness for small scripts but extending a language who’s roots are in a Bash replacement to large scale project development seems DOA to me.
Silicium chips and transistors are used for so much more things than cutting-edge computing. Germany is not really in that business (yet) so this is more a move to get their current supply-chain for automotive, machinery, etc. more independent.
A lot of the 'chip shortage' those past years was not for the cutting-edge stuff, but for automotive/embedded devices

Not everything needs the 5nm cutting edge, and to be fair calling

I think the end game is that if ads are generally NOT targeted based on a huge volume of information, then the pay for ads with less targeting will go up. During a transition those who show pinpoint targeted ads while others don't will make more money. But eventually if the whole 2000-2025 era of ad targeting is confined to the historybooks, then we could have a better internet. And the amount of ad spend in total will be unchanged (perhaps some of money will return to print/tv etc. since internet ads will be relatively less effective). But the bottom line is I think it SHOULD be profitable to show ads with less targeting, not that it WILL be. And I think regulators have the power to ensure that this is the future.

> The difference between targeting and not is the different between net profit or not for many users

I don't think it's a bad idea to have regulation that makes entire regions of an industry unprofitable over night, if that's what it takes.

You bring up Plan9 here as though it isn't in the same boat as Hurd.

To be pedantic, I think it does matter there, but the cost / benefit tradeoff is in favor of the 10 year old processes.

And it can vary too, mass produced / generic chips can be more cost efficient if they can make more of them on a single wafer.
> Why does Unicode specifically need to include novel "innovations"?

Unicode chose to get into emoji because Japanese carriers were already making their own private character sets with emoji, and Unicode has a goal of being a superset of all other (relevant) character sets. (Arguably emoji support in Unicode has been a resounding success. Look at the world-wide enthusiasm around each new Unicode version that gets announced now!)

> I am going to assume this one is a joke given the consistency (or lack thereof) of GDPR guidance from European regulators.

Yes and I'm sure that Google, Facebook & co were only caught on "technicalities" because the law wasn't "clear enough". If that is not a joke I don't know what is ...
There is a YouTube channel called asianometry which did some videos about UV lithography. Form what I remember the processes vary significantly in each generation so that there probably is little to no real overlap.

I'm no expert though so might be off by a mile here.
About GDPR and protectionism–I already answered. Sorry if I misunderstood you, I did not pay attention to the DMA and that was not the subject of the article.

Homebrew is a great project and has been an incredible help for me.

That's exactly the issue, isn't it?

The Chips Act was marketed as an attempt to bring back "cutting-edge chips" to Europe, and to promote research and innovation. In the end it turns out to just be a huge government subsidy for a bog-standard fab which is at least a decade behind what TSMC is building in Taiwan.

Great for automotive companies who want to strengthen their supply lines, but pretty pointless when it comes to doing what it was actually supposed to do. Europe already has plenty of fabs like these which did not require billion-euro handouts.
This contradicts how a few folks I know there ran their layoffs, but totally aligns with their psychology ca. 2021. Could this come down to higher rates?

Also, if Facebook volunteers to pay a 100%+ effective tax rate in Norway…that seems fine for Norway?

Intel will settle in Magdeburg. The "AMD" Fab in Dresden belongs to GlobalFoundries (AMD sold its last GlobalFoundries shares in 2012).
I've been using the prediction market https://manifold.markets/QuantumObserver/will-the-lk99-room-... as a way to track consensus opinion without having the expertise myself. It's currently near 20%, down from 30% in the last day. So we're not quite at the 'game over' phase.
I think the general consensus is that AMD could only swoop in as it did because Itanium was such a disaster of epic proportions, both technically and on a management level. There was no way Itanium was ever going to be successful. x86-64 was just the final nail in the coffin.

Can confirm. Most people probably wouldn't believe the effort that is spent on improving the physical engine models in the ECUs in order to save a few bucks on sensors. Precisely, as you wrote, because those few bucks multiply while a software effort is one-time.
Dresden has a really good university when it comes to computer engineering, too. Plus it realtively cheap compared to other regions in Germany (like Munich)
I found wide character support to be surprisingly good across the terminal emulators I tried on macOS and Linux.

This testing was done earlier this year when I was building support for Unicode variable names into my $SHELL (more to support foreign languages than glyphs but the end result is the same)

It’s worth noting that wider character support needs to be implemented in both the terminal emulator AND and the console applications that run on the terminal emulator too.
that's if we don't expect Germany to become an AI powerhouse, where GPUs are useful. Apparently this does not seem to be a priority.

> verified humans

Wouldn't it be elegant though if the new trust scheme applied the same to LLMs/bots as humans?

Assuming that LLMs are a polar opposite of humans seems short sighted. Or assuming that humans are sole heroes of the story. It will be a spectrum, soon. For example when you say "all human weakness, eliminated" it's a weird lens to use. Every relative weakness is a challenge, whether its origin is in human ancestral environment or not.

I'm curious whether the entirety of the system (I mean the current civilization) would morph itself into a pipeline disgorging specifically human "happiness". As of today, it's far from obvious!
I think this is true. China is working really hard to get it's domestic semiconducter industry up to speed.

They are willing to burn a lot of money and time to reach their overall political goal of annexing Taiwan even if it takes a very very long time.

Ultimately it's unrealistic to assume that a country of 1.4 Billion people can not catch up eventually espescially if they would otherwise have to rely on a global competitor (US) or a military target which factories are rigged to blow (Taiwan).

The best thing Taiwan can do (once their semiconductor lead is no more) is to make themselves into a strategic ally located on Chinas doorstep.

USDC definitely got hit as it depegged from the USDC for few days and traded for $0.87 at some point, it didn't "explode" (and it restored its peg) only because the US government promised to bail out customers of the Silicon Valley Bank fully and not just upto $250,000 as it would be the case if in an usual FDIC coverage situation. Circle, the company behind this stablecoin had about $3.3 billions in SVB.

Structured logging is my jam. Our unit tests validate error content, errors have all dynamic text in different fields, provide all info to reproduce (including, where appropriate, copy-pastable curl commands to replicate an error to remote api endpoints!) and log aggregators like Splunk can group and aggregate and find relationships.

If I see a spike in errors, I can, in real time, count them by user id, group by region, filter out by some other field, then have the table of events generate a live line chart easily showing the error rates over time, and pin pointing the exact moment an error started.

Less than five to ten minutes after detection or report and I can be talking with another team about a change they released at time $x, including a list of affected users for product teams to reach out to if needed.

> You can’t use an emoji that isn’t yet in the standard and deployed by the OS vendors.

You can, as long as you control the font. Pick any codepoint in the Private Use Area and have your font define a picture for it. That's the whole idea behind icon fonts.

> People simply can’t understand that their emoji might look different than when they picked it on their iPhone keyboard.

Android users who pick an emoji on their Google keyboard and then have something different show up in the message they sent seem to be able to cope somehow.

But if you can't get away from imitating the Apple look because of wrong users, you could still try converting it to monochrome. Maybe users will forgive the deviation if it makes sense in context, e.g. for a terminal emulator.
and zero of the shortages were caused by lack of fab capacity - companies cut orders for over a year. Old stocks got depleted, prices skyrocketed, then companies reluctantly put new orders and started selling at those inflated prices.

Most "free markets" in the US -- certainly all that matter -- are dominated by 2 or 3 players, and when they all agree to do the same sorts of anti-consumer things, there's nowhere to go.

It's 1/thou, not 1/10k. 1/thou is within a couple thou of the maximum difference in expansion.

How I keep my wood from over expanding and shrinking is by using aged woods. My red cedar (what my stash box is made of) was cut down multiple years ago and stored at my grandfathers sawmill, it was then milled 2 years ago to 3/4 rough. I hold them in my shop for over a year before I plane them, then another 6+ months before I use them. All that time, the moisture has stabilized (theoretically), so the only expansion and contraction would be through temperature, which has a much smaller effect than moisture.

I have had some of my wood products expand in shipping, but after a week of them sitting in a person's home, they will be back to normal. That was my vape cart holders. So after a few people said when they arrived they couldn't use them. I started milling them a little looser.
Bear in mind that this could be a "thin edge of the wedge" situation. Where they get this "older" node stuff up and running, and if it turns out to be going well then they can think about newer process/node sizes.

It's not a dumb approach.

Citation very very much needed as that is not at all what standard economic theory would predict.

As I said, there are lots of niche small businesses that literally could not survive without targeted advertising so that demand goes away as soon as these bans go into effect.

> I don't think it's a bad idea to have regulation that makes entire regions of an industry unprofitable over night, if that's what it takes.

Yes but I think if the choice were actually presented as “pay for FB or repeal this regulation” and the EU had a referenda on it, the regulation would be banned. The only way this is getting through is because the public is being convinced that they can have their cake and eat it too. They might be right, but only because they are being subsidized by users in the rest of the world.
