Making exceptions isn't necessarily a sustainable position either.

Others have already commented on colleague resentment.

There's also the problem of being the only remote team member, or having to deal with company infrastructure which doesn't support remote work well "because we are all in the office anyways".

How much this matters differs from company to company, but often letting certain people continue to WFH while most of the company is RTO has a shelf-life before the WFH employee has enough of being a second-class citizen and leaves for a more remote-friendly company.

Yes, I also highly recommend that as well; you won't go wrong with "Mastering Regular Expressions".
I'm considering the employer's position. If a bunch of my employees were working six-hour days and communication was suffering at the office, then I would feel justified to institute RTO. As long as it's not meant as an indirect layoff AND the employees were hired for on-site work originally, I genuinely do not see the problem.

Of course, one might argue that employers should "know" that employees will quit, but honestly, are employers supposed gauge the level of WFH cultishness before making a routine business decision? It's ridiculous.

Yes, one can argue that it's a "pay cut, full stop" just as the employer can argue that they are getting less effective employees during WFH, or that one's unearned "raise" during COVID is being rescinded. I'm not a cultist, so these are positions that need to be argued for and earned. No foot-stomping. The employers should get a say.

I have zero doubt Apple's influence is considerable and maybe monopolistic or something like that in a number of ways.

But I find an article that doesn't even address any other companies a little hard to swallow. Are other companies simply not able to "reshore" chip fabs?

I have no idea what some of the tidbits thrown in about the apple watch has anything to do with the topic. Let alone some of the heavy handed lines in the article that simply aren't supported as far as I can tell.

Some of the lines in this article seem borderline hysterical...

The most common uses in JavaScript are in the RegExp test method and the String replace method. The replace method is cool because it can receive a function as the second argument and the argument of that function is the value matched by the RegExp that can be modified and returned.
Importantly, this teaches the reader when not to use regex, when to craft them carefully, pitfalls and misconceptions.
That's not how imports work in python at all.

Imports are super imperative operations that first tries to find it in sys.modules, otherwise executes the module and puts the resulting dict in sys.modules. Then it grabs the symbols you asked for and shoves all those symbols into the global dict for the module.

It does have to walk the locals and the globals scopes (there are ONLY exactly two scopes in Python!) to find the function, that's true.
You still require a Vulkan driver to do anything with it. Until last year, Nvidia hardware required a proprietary Vulkan driver (prior to Nvvk), and anything pre-Pascal still requires that.
Good question - if the biography was a scale, it seemed overall much more tilted towards dubiousness. I wasn't left with the impression that Fuller was a genius, other than at self-promotion.

Edit: I just searched an epub version of the biography for "genius" and they all seem to reference other people talking about Fuller rather than editorial judgment. I'd have to read the thesis to see the author's fuller (ha!) interpretation of the bio.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Sure, Apple offshoring their semiconductor mfg compounded the US' lack of domestic semiconductor mfg capacity/expertise.

Apple also did that because it is a _business_, and has not always been the behemoth it is today. They went overseas because it made more sense, not because they had some anti-American goal of crippling US mfg capabilities.

The AELP is, ideologically, a anti-big-co institute, which is admirable but is also why this piece engages in post hoc ergo propter hoc rather than discussing meaningful policy proposals:

Do you mind if somebody takes notes of the conversation you're having with them?

At what point do the notes become too detailed? An audio recording? A transcript? A summary of the transcript?

Do you mind the fact that all modern smartphones technically record all calls? Digital audio always ends up in a RAM buffer somewhere, and due to how memory allocation works, there's no guarantee that all the buffers will be fully destroyed after the call is complete.

How's an AI "recording" your conversation in memory, transcribing it and writing a summary of that transcript, different from a phone doing the recording to RAM, and a human brain doing the transcribing and writing?

If you say Apple is America's semiconductor problem, that's a bit stronger than just "the focus is on another company". The focus is on another company to the exclusion of all else, and that exclusion is creating a rather distorted picture of the actual situation.

ie., that when you're taking data from a therometer in order to estimate the temperature of coffee, the issue isnt simply partial information

Its that the information is about the mercury, not the coffee. In order to bridge the two you need a theory (eg., about the causal reliability of heating / room temp / etc.)

So this isnt just a partial/full information problem -- these are still mathematical toys. This is a reality problem. This is a you're dealing with a causal realtionship between physical systems problem. This is not a mathematical relationship. It isnt merely partial, it is not a matter of "informaton" at all. No amount could ever make the mecurary, coffee.

I just realized that I don't have XCode installed, and I'm hesitant to due to storage etc.

Would something like the following be feasible even though accelerometer isn't listed as one of the native capabilities?

```
Build an app that uses the accelerometer to measure the g-forces experienced while driving, and uses an audio tone with varying volume to indicate the magnitude of g-forces.

Show a large circle on the screen with a single black dot to represent the current g-forces for X and Y. Show a vertical rectangle on the side with a single blue dot to represent the current g-forces in the Z direction.

Using a single audio tone, vary the volume of this tone to represent the sum of X, Y, and Z g-force readings. At standstill the audio should be silent.
```

I have wanted something like this for a long time for driving to get a better sense of whatever cargo or passengers might be experiencing.
I 2nd that! (I came here to say the same thing.)

I personally don't work much with regexes, so usually, when I need one, I ask ChatGPT to make one, and it comes back with something good.

FWIW: I've seen some regexes used as a source of truth: The regex both processed data, and then determining what settings a user created required parsing the regexes. I quickly refactored that code to store what the setting was.
Regex the "env specific variant" or regex the concept (as it applies to theory of computation) etc?

The former I can never remember beyond the basics (*, +, ?, |). Even the | I go extra cautious and put in tons of parenthesis. If I ever need matching and grouping I resort to rtfm.

Now that latter, that's the more interesting and fun one!! Learnt it in college decades ago but really drilled it in by reimplementing Russ Cox's amazing Thomson nfa blog and breakdown in typescript!

Intel has fabs in the US, doesn't seem to me after a couple readings that the article isn't about CPU fabs, its about the semiconductor supply chain.

New Cleveland Clinic study shows erythritol increases plalet aggregation
As other posters have mentioned, this has 2 Cortex-M33 cores @ 150 MHz, not @ 300 MHz.

Cortex-M7 is in a different size class than Cortex-M33, it has a speed about 50% greater at the same clock frequency and it is also available at higher clock frequencies.

Cortex-M33 is the replacement for the older Cortex-M4 (while Cortex-M23 is the replacement for Cortex-M0+ and Cortex-M85 is the modern replacement for Cortex-M7).

While for a long time the Cortex-M MCUs had been available in 3 main sizes, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M7, for their modern replacements there is an additional size, Cortex-M55, which is intermediate between Cortex-M33 and Cortex-M85.

I was a Windows and Linux user for nearly two decades before really giving Mac an shot, and still engage regularly with both. My first smartphones were Android. I’ve done tons of development work on both the iOS and Android platforms, and been exposed to a mountain of devices from both.

As far as I’m concerned nobody’s even trying to compete with Apple. There are other personal computing products but none of them address the same market as Apple at all. The tiny set of possible competitors for their space all seem to have decided not to even try.

[edit] and, to be clear, I’d very much prefer that they had competition in their segment. Even if I stuck with them, it’d at least put competitive pressure on them to improve and/or cut prices.

If you like those keyboards for the keys - and those Alps are the reason that those keyboards are still desirable today - then you might want to check out Matias. They have a terrific Alps clone. It feels amazing, and honestly the split Matias Pro has the best layout I've ever used.

That said, the quality is junk. Each $250 keyboard lasted me one year, no longer. That said, even with the high price and low service life, the Matias Pro is so much more comfortable than any other keyboard that I still consider it a good value for the money.
Came here to say this. I always knew regex was something I was going to have to learn, and procrastinated for a long time because I dreaded it. I kept kicking the can down the road until one day ChatGPT came along and solved that problem permanently.

"they would not have lost Mac as a business customer if they continued to innovate"

I'm not entirely sure this is true. I mean, I guess it depends on whether one expected Intel to be able to make not just a decent chip for PCs/laptops, but also one for phones & tablets. Once Apple started dabbling in its own chips for the iPhone and iPad, it seemed inevitable that they'd expand that to their macOS systems too. Apple has been a rough customer to please for chip designers/manufacturers, I'm not sure any company could've satisfied them with a general-purpose chip.
Well funnily enough these phones are quite easy to repair, they even have removable batteries :) That's one really easy thing that often comes up (especially with the amount of work these devices do every day on the manufacturing line and warehouse) that can definitely easily be "repaired" in-house.

I wrote the logistics platform for our company - UK-based, £4m revenue. I'll be happy to have an honest chat with you if it would be helpful.
I'd recommend against it, but then again, I'm building software products in this exact space with my launching customer being a 200-300M annual revenue logistics company. I don't think they could do it in-house. You don't give a lot of info on the exact niche you are in, but the username tells me that you're doing containers in European context, most likely shortsea or domestic, not deepsea. Me telling you the ISO6436 type code for your username is either LEG1 or LEGB depending on max stacking height should tell you I know my stuff :)

Your biggest pain point is most likely that you know your business very well, but you probably do not know enough about the business context of your partners. If you are running a small-ish container terminal for example, you really should know how the depot department of the major carriers are managing their empty stock so you can decide your stacking strategies in the yard. You should probably also have an understanding of benefits vs drawbacks of tower cranes vs gantry cranes found at bigger quays. That then influences what your TOS should be capable of. Same thing goes for intermodal transport planning, you really should know not only how detention/demurrage works, but also what tricks you can pull to optimize for it, and how shipping lines monitor this internally. If you are building stuff in-house, you're inevitably going to be limited in your understanding of the wider market. Short term that's a huge improvement (more tailored software, better flexibility), long term that might cause huge issues.

I can certainly understand the frustration with third-party products. Your description of 'they are understaffed and the platform is stagnant' could realistically apply to pretty much any software provider in this space. There is a huge opportunity for somebody to swoop in and build something, the bar for this sector is mostly something that doesn't straight up suck. And I'm going to be honest: we're trying to be that somebody.

If you'd like to talk, my contact details are in my profile. I'm happy to show you what we're building, and tell you what that is like behind the scenes. If you go ahead with your plan to in-house it, let's stay in contact, perhaps we can learn from eachother.

We can certainly alter definitions when they’re not useful.

Right it is wasteful. The reason some businesses are so successful is that they look at the common denominators rather than trying to perpetuate worth. Fewer variants and don't wall off features. AMD did this for the longest period getting back on it feet, but I am seeing a failure of them continuing down this path. They need to stop making variants and focus on 3 or 4 sets of consumer processors.
> In 2017, when Apple announced it was moving away from using UK-based Imagination Technologies for graphics processors, the company lost two thirds of its value overnight.

I'm not sure what the author is suggesting here. They licensed technology from Imagine Technologies, so therefore they must continue licensing their technology?

Also: Imagine Technologies is a chip designer, not a chip fabricator. It's stuck in at the end of a paragraph about Apple's suppliers, but unless I'm mistaken—which I absolutely could be!—Imagine Technologies wasn't one. Also it's a UK company, so I'm not sure how Apple ending their contract with Imagine Technologies hurts the US's semiconductor problem.
I guess apple works more as a "cultural monopoly", where if you don't own some apple device you're automatically ostracized by other apple customers. To them apple is more like a fashion clothing company like gucci than a technological one. Apple provides some sort of "privileged status" to their customers, just like purpur in ancient rome, so of course each apple stan considers themselves superior, and to keep their own privilege they need to buy more apple products.
