Intel is the closest US has to compete on Foundry. And it doesn't take that much money relatively speaking to help them out. I also think they are not far behind. They wont replace or overthrown TSMC anytime soon. But they should be competitive enough.

My only question is do shareholders have enough patients to allow Pat to do the right thing.
When LLMs can do the following, they might be able to fix data hell:

- Negotiate with different teams to figure out what a field means

- Be told that a field should be converted from one format to another, but oh wait it's causing errors somewhere downstream because it was told the wrong instructions

- People come to you with some issue about the code you maintain, and you dig enough to realize the root cause is another team's code

> So... you're not using event-driven architecture. That's fine, but I don't know why it supports this article's weird point about event-driven architecture.

I've never used EDA, just read about it, so I'm curious what you disagree with from the article.

It seems that the logic is reasonable, that subscribers have varying needs and publishers would need to account for those needs over time as the functionality (and data) required by subscribers evolves.

Some of us don't use the web for anything other than websites. I'm honestly not even sure what people are talking about with some proliferation of "apps". There's discord/slack, and...? And chat was on the road to being an open protocol until Google/Facebook saw the potential for lockin and both dropped XMPP.

I already have an operating system. It's like saying I don't need notepad to be able to execute arbitrary programs with 3D capabilities and listen sockets because it's a text editor.

You also wouldn't need to remember what your generic sandbox app runtime is. Use your browser, and if you click on a link to an app, you'll be prompted to open the link using your default handler for that mime type.

WG14 had 50 years to improve C's safety story and they hardly cared to move a finger.

Dennis own fat pointers suggestions was never considered, as didn't others, Annex K was a tragedy (yes it had flaws, which could have been improved upon instead of abandon it).

Note that most of safety improvements of Zig and Odin over C were already present in NEWP, PL/I, Modula-2, Object Pascal, among others, so it isn't as this kind of ideas are something completely new that WG14 was never aware of.

They decided this is not something that they care about and that is about it.

So by your logic, if the entire audit world used Numbers, you would be using Numbers. That isn’t remotely close to the rationale for why we don’t code BASIC in Notepad and is probably the reason why people here find Excel to be a less than ideal choice. We use the right tool for the job, not the tool that all of the industry uses because we would be screwed otherwise.
When someone leaves have you ever had code dumped on you that you've never read before and has no tests? If you don't even know what the code is supposed to do, you can't write tests for it.

The way I handled it is: when people come to me with a bug, then I fix it and add a test for it.

Tariffs, by design, would already be helping american companies/interests. The point of a tariff is to increase the cost of foreign goods, allowing untariffed companies to better compete.
Photos of ballots are a criminal offence in the UK, which obviously is imperfect in an abusive relationship, but does help set a general norm that the vote is secret.
Running 32-bit Excel mitigates quite a few of the limits. Sadly, I haven't managed to get WoW64 DLLs to load in 64-bit Excel: that would eliminate the majority of the issues, but it's tricky to set that up in the first place without the ability to store 64-bit return values (e.g. handles).
I do believe that's where tariffs would come into play. They're a politically heated topic these days, but tariffs are meant to help manage exactly such a situation.

I hate to be that guy, but politics has always been part of the story of software development. The history of Apple is filled with all sorts of drama, with projects getting cancelled and people getting fired due to politics. Xerox PARC’s glory days in the 1970s were not politics-free; there were clashes between Bob Taylor and other high-level people, which finally reached a breaking point in 1983, leading to Taylor moving on to Digital Equipment Corporation and many PARC researchers following him there. Even in the non-profit open source world (some would say especially instead of even), there’s plenty of politics.

I’m a product designer with a passion for crafting user experiences that are not just visually appealing but also intuitive and enjoyable to use. Whether it’s a simple app or a complex business solution, I specialize in designing data-heavy interfaces that turn intricate information into clean, user-friendly designs.

I’m dedicated to seeing projects through from the first brainstorming session to the final launch. I love taking on complex challenges and transforming them into elegant, easy-to-use solutions. My approach is hands-on and detail-oriented: I dive deep into planning, create detailed prototypes, and ensure every pixel is in the right place before a product goes out the door. I believe in the power of data-driven design, but I also never forget the importance of making products that users will love.
Billionaires should not exist.
Literally my same conclusion since 2008.

Hundreds of thousands of people without jobs? Let it fail.

No more domestic semiconductor company? Let it fail.

No more domestic aerospace company? LET IT FAIL.

We keep avoiding making the hard policy decisions by funneling taxpayer money into the hands of the already-wealthy who promise that this time it’ll be different, this time they won’t give it to shareholders and payout bonuses.

Let it fail. Once hundreds of thousands of Americans are jobless due to executive mismanagement and shareholder greed, will actually meaningful and impactful policy be made.
To create venv2 that uses venv1, define pep-735 dependencies groups in your pyproject.toml Specifically, a group can include other groups

uv supports groups and can create venv with the desired group set
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/dependencies/#development...

For example, there can be "dev" group that includes "test", "mkdocs", "nuitka" groups (nuitka wants to be run with venv it builds binary for, so to keep venv minimal, it is in a separate group)
You have basically 3 options:

1. Your local pharmacies with photo services or FEDEX/UPS stores. You won't get high end photos, but good enough. You'll also pay more but there is someone to help the elderly.

2. Spend the money and buy your own printer and ink. I did that for my parents, they are happy as clams.

3. Have your mother send you the photos and you do the work.

My point is that other developed countries are perfectly able to have a transparent electoral process and present the results in very little time, even doing everything by paper voting.

Arguments that you need voting machines, or extensive mail voting, or pre voting, or not check a valid photo ID to be able to carry out the process in due time, are completely against what the reality shows in all other developed countries.
For most startups the difference between Rust and Ruby is not 10 servers vs 1000 but rather between using 0.1% of a CPU or 1% of a CPU. A single server running Rails will easily scale to hundreds of thousands of daily users. Most companies never get that many users in the first place, and those that do will have the funds to afford rewriting the hottest paths in a more performant language.
Government orgs have public financial transparency that businesses don't. For example, when I worked for a public university, my salary was available on a publicly accessible website. Government budgets get a lot more outside scrutiny and pressure to avoid waste.

It's not perfect. There's plenty of wasteful spending, but I wouldn't be surprised if research showed government and large businesses are similarly wasteful.

Fair enough (though a Unisys 2200 might be a stronger example, people still use them, but neither support C99 AFAIK). But by “break” here, it's only fair to point out, if such a compiler even existed, it would have the property of definitely failing with an error at compile time for uint32_t not existing, it’s not going to compile and overflow at runtime. (And yes you will practically get a warning with the pasted code, and shame on anyone for not using -Werror, but pedantically this isn't even guaranteed sadly enough). They are completely different classes of portability defects and only one is a correctness issue.

Setting aside whether there is even a C99 compiler for anything Symbolics, or anything where uint32_t doesn’t exist (already assuming C99 or above here). Is there?
Meanwhile there are a few existing supported gcc architectures where sizeof int == 2.

Pick what level of pragmatism you prefer I guess. I prefer avoiding the standard integer types unless I can comfortably fit in their guaranteed sizes. I don’t really care about obsolete machines that will never have a C99 compiler outside a novelty.
We (the GitHub Next team) use and love Apache Spark. So we made sure to connect with ASF before releasing GitHub Spark, and confirm they were comfortable with us using this name.

We felt like there was sufficient difference between the two products, that there wouldn’t be any confusion. Especially with the target audience that GitHub Spark ultimately intends to reach.

That said, we plan to validate this during the Technical Preview phase. Since we absolutely want to be respectful of Apache Spark, and its impact on software.

Daylight Saving Time and Artificial Time Zones (2019)
I agree someone needs to look into this more directly. The bits he was specifically interested in and wrote most about were the thermography pieces. And that's where the focus of the article was. The author notes only skimming the parts he found where the requested permissions were used, given that the experience of the author was not focused in either Android nor Java.

It's not a comprehensive analysis but what is there is very alarming.

There is absolutely NO reason for this app to need MDM_APP_MGMT. This is capability for remote administration of the device, including ability to install additional apps (which is likely where this vector would expand exploitation). We don't see where that permission is used from the few screenshots of non-thermo sections.

Same for a number of the other permissions. For an 'at-a-glance' review, compare this app's requested permissions to those requested by stalkerware in this stalkerware analysis and notice the similarities:

I think that if you change the C API officially to introduce one feature you'll realize it's a significant milestone, so you'll end up trying to fix everything else, too, before it's once again locked in stone.

I'm sure a lot of these languages started that way and fell down the same rabbit hole. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Whether you create a new language or update the old, it's still a step forward.

Unlikely, the contributors don't seem to have meaningful Ruby backgrounds. Isn't it a simpler supposition that the naming intent was merely (R)ust Actors?
Yes, good point -- aliases makes parse time depend on runtime. That is mentioned in

Morbig: A static parser for POSIX shell - https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=15754961728999604...

(at the time I wrote the post about bash, I hadn't implemented aliases yet)

But it's a little different since it is an intentional feature, not an acccident. It's designed to literally reinvoke the parser at runtime. I think it's not that good/useful a feature, and I tend to avoid it, but many people use it.
On the shift from hydraulic to electric: for years Marc Raibert and others at Boston Dynamics expressed doubts that a non-hydraulic humanoid could be made to perform as well in that package.

Because of actuator density- a humanoid has a high number of actuators. Also power density, and they did a lot of work in molding the hydraulic actuators directly into the arms and legs to make them compact. The bulk is all in the backpack pumps, power pack, etc.

So this move to all-electric represents real growth in Boston Dynamics being able to make compact motors that meet their needs of performance.

I am betting this new robot is less capable of the explosive dynamics of the old one. I am not expecting dance performances and backflips from this one right away. But I am expecting them to work toward that kind of performance.
Because at some point, you need domestically-owned manufacturing as a matter of national security.

And yet other developed countries are perfectly able to have a transparent electoral process and present the results in very little time, even doing both paper voting and mail-in voting. Why deprive your citizens of mail-in voting when it's not necessary for safe elections? If you remove the laws that make mail-in voting take longer to count, it will not take as long to count.

Additionally, you seem to be willfully ignoring the differences regarding photo ID between the US and most other developed countries. Why?
Awesome work!

I noticed that they are about as long and complex as the C versions. In early C++/STL days part of the pitch was reimplementing core utils in a much more concise way. In wonder if the is a result of focusing on that application, or a coincidence of design decisions.

We're going to see a lot more of this type of tension and controversy over the coming years, with camps building on either side. As more people start losing their jobs I expect this will become a hot political issue.
AMD and Intel just switched places, before Ryzen AMD was a failing company, threatening to not one give Intel a near monopoly, but also handing Nvidia a true monopoly. If AMD can be turned around, why can't Intel, a much larger company with more diverse product lines (not as many as previous, but still).

It's not even that Intel aren't selling chips, I'd guess that they are still massively outselling AMD. The fact that Intel can't make money is a failure of management and I feel like the media needs to attack that much harder than they have been. The type of management which have been prevailing for the past 20 - 25 years aren't going to save companies like Intel and Boing, both companies that should have be thriving, but they've become complacent and forgot about the products, focusing on short term stock value.

Also Intel doesn't appear to make an actual lose and can still pay dividends in some quarters, so they aren't failing that hard. A turn around in sales is needed, but I don't feel it's as bad as it's made out to be. The media makes it sound like bankruptcy is right around the corner.
On a tangent, why there is a general feeling of decline everywhere from Adobe's frustrated customer base to Boeing to Intel and Google's search returning pages and pages of sponsored ads?

I mean really IDC. The only justification I have is I also don't want oppressive foreign authoritarian governments (Russia, China) to become even more powerful and oppressive. Slowly doing the tide of tech into them seems to help. In Russia we've seen how this has played out prematurely at a great cost of human life.

No, they absolutely should exist. Capitalism raises everyone.
At least in Intel's case, I can see why the US government wouldn't want to get rid of them. For one, Intel is a defense asset and there will generally be apprehension of letting them slip under without the feds gutting what they want out of it. For two, I kinda think Intel did everything right from a US nationalism perspective even if their customers ditched them for it. Intel was never going to keep their Apple contract unless they outsourced to TSMC, abandoned any form of profitable margins and gave up on domestic chipmaking. From the perspective of US lawmakers, Intel is kinda damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't.

I still support letting Intel fail, but I have absolutely no confidence anyone will let it happen.
Not necessarily because labor is, like other resources, subject to supply and demand.
