I suspect the real reason behind objections to technology being visible is basically "It makes me feel old by highlighting that I came from a time before X and now everyone will just become accustomed to X!".
The idea that the US protects Taiwan from a possible Chinese invasion over chips is one of those things that sounds believable but really isn't going to happen.

From China’s perspective, the cost of war is much higher than the cost of developing these chips themselves. In the worst-case scenario, they would be 2-3 years behind the cutting edge, which is not mission-critical. Most electronics (civilian or military) don’t really need cutting-edge chips, and China has already proven that they don’t need the latest chips to be a significant AI competitor.

From the US’s perspective, if a war with China were to break out now, there are only three possible scenarios:
1. China takes Taiwan quickly. In this case, there would be nothing for US to defend, and the US would have to try to take Taiwan back militarily—unlikely to happen.
2. Stalemate. Taiwanese people fight bravely, and Chinese forces turn out to be weaker than expected. In this case, the US would be in a comfortable position to send aid and weapons to help Taiwan, prolonging the war to weaken China. With some luck, a regime change could happen without firing a shot.
3. Taiwan successfully defends itself, repels the Chinese invasion, and possibly even takes back some territory—an unlikely scenario, but this is the only one where the US would send troops to help defend Taiwan. If the US gets involved at this stage, it secures a sure win, puts a military base on the island, and further cements its role as the protector of taiwan.

If you believe the US will or should only act in its own interest, then its interest is to remain the only superpower. Rushing into a war on foreign turf and losing is the quickest way to cede the Asia-Pacific region to China. So, despite what politicians might have you believe, the US is not going to help defend Taiwan, no matter who is in the White House.
China broke promises about "One country, two systems" in Hong Kong, so I don't think Taiwan can count on any promises made there either.
It isn't the AI emotion. It is how the malfunction is perceived. If something is perceived as aggressive, or unsafe, then it is unsafe as it causes panic and trauma. And a very real chance of death in crowds.
Should be a Show HN post instead
You’re right. Sometimes I’m not even sure if what I want to make is really a “game.” Games have rules and goals, but what I’m building doesn’t have those yet. So is it just a space for people to hang out, like a portal? Or maybe a 3D social network? Or something like Garry’s Mod, a sandbox for creativity?

I need to figure out the best way to share my vision and make something people will keep using and enjoy. That’s going to take a lot of thinking, trying, and messing up. Your comment really got me thinking. I’ll keep digging into it. Thanks!

I've been using Zig for nearly 4 years now. A lot of changes in that period were not great, but I haven't really wanted to use anything else.
I want my game to create a fun space on the internet for people. I grew up inspired by the internet and other people’s creations. You’re saying that if I’m into games, I should already be exploring them and asking deeper questions, right? Before games, I started with simple web services, so learning game dev feels like going from -1 to 0. I wanted to ask others about the best sources of inspiration first, hoping it’d help me avoid unnecessary mistakes.
It’s still worth reading if you can look past it. The comment refutes your comment totally and in good detail.
You’re right, I think I posted too soon. But thanks to that, I learned it wasn’t the best move and found a few people who care about what I’m making. I’ll keep working with them, sharing feedback, and building it better. Thanks for the good comment!
Not a war crime, China has plenty of agriculture.

See the Cuban missile crisis. It is an act of war but certainly not as escalatory as direct attack.
You got the high drama stories with the timelines re-arranged to fit the narrative :D

Fuchsias underlying goals are to be a great platform for computing. This is distilled in its current incantation into a short tagline on fuchsia.dev: simple, secure, updatable, performant.

The details of how when and where Fuchsia might fit / gets exercised are nuanced and far more often about other factors than those which make great stories. Maybe there will be some of the good stories told one day, but that'll need someone from the team to finish a book and take it through the Google process to publish :D

In the meantime, here's Chris interview: https://9to5google.com/2022/08/30/fuchsia-director-interview...

I feel like a lot of the Apple issues come from the fact they keep building on top of iCloud. It’s only very recently that people started trusting the sync.

I’ve seen levelsio’s posts too. I’m using AI tools like Cursor to build my game right now, and it’s pretty exciting.
I hope to get an M5. The problem is my M1 just keeps working so well. :(

Have not had that "problem" to this extent on any other generation of machine. Albeit, my current work is not particularly CPU limited.
Camps it up too much?! Exactly the right amount.

Except the negotiation scene with Auda. He always seemed a touch too sarcastic in his delivery there, and it makes Auda seem foolish, which makes the scene worse. Like that one awkward cut in the middle of Jaws, this bugs me every time I watch it. Made even worse because the scene’s also wonderful, but that flaw… frustrating.

But god, the rest? It makes him otherworldly, magnetic. In a movie full of larger than life characters (omg, the real life bio of Auda!) you can see how so many mark him early as someone to be wary of, and others underestimate him (he’s clownish!) and others follow him.
And it can be used upfield though so the groundwater carries the dirt into organic fields. Many of these "rules" are written like physics stops at some arbitrary line. To be honest "organic" is a bit of a joke in the farming community , as their fields tend to "hug" coventional fields to prevent a fungi overgrowth .

And we all know agrarian traders who get certified "organic" stuff from countries were any seal or certificate is just a bribe away.
That's right. And let's not forget that Europe and USA have been helping directly for a few years now anyway.

It's really disappointing how much misinformation gets reiterated on the Internet with regards to this memorandum, given how short the document is and how easy it is to verify its contents oneself.

PS. NATO's Article 5 is also worth a read. It does not guarantee what is commonly claimed.
Your encouraging comment means a lot, thanks! I never thought about listening to Valve’s game audio commentary, but I’ll check it out for sure.

> Can't build chips

True, but that's true for every country, even Taiwan. If ASML (Dutch company), Applied Materials, LAM Research, KLA, Synopsys, Cadence (US companies), Tokyo Electron, Shin-Etcu (Japan) and literally hundreds of other companies didn't cooperate, TSMC couldn't function either. BTW, that's why China can never "take over" TSMC - they can just make it defunct when all these other companies stop doing business with it after the invasion.

Basically, the planet is making chips, not any individual country.

> can't make ships,

I suggest you look-up the Jones Act and its unintended consequences.

And then think why American voters never consider this kind of stuff when voting.

> can't make furniture, can't make clothes,

Fair enough, though this is more a matter of what is economically viable vs. what is possible. There are economic losers, sure. But there are big winners too, most notably in the "tech" industry. It's incumbent on the US to smooth-out the transition for their own citizens, instead of allowing special interests and monopolies to run amok and incumbents to Gerrymander themselves into office.

Ultimately, American voters allowed this to happen, and when they saw the results, they fell for a demagogue.

> can't make enough weapons to supply Ukraine, let alone for any real war.

I hope you are not suggesting Russo-Ukrainian war is "not real". This is almost WW2-level stuff. I suggest you take a look at the photographic evidence of vehicle losses, keeping in mind that the actual losses are likely higher:

China doesn't need lots of aircraft carriers unless the want to invade US.

What they need and they have is enough weapons to destroy any US aircraft carrier approaching their coast.

Naval power doesn't mean just aircraft carriers and China has 100x shipbuilding capacity US has.

> military tech is a strategic advantage

For the Taiwanese, their semiconductor prowess is a strategic advantage for them. It's even informally known as the Silicon Shield. Taiwan's hope/expectation that US reciprocates with strategically important technology is perfectly reasonable.

The Silicon Shield is something the US is actively trying to undermine by coercing Taiwan to transfer its technology. In addition, every TSMC engineer that moves from Taiwan to the US is someone who isn't contributing to Taiwan's local Silicon Shield. And yes, "coercing" is the right word when you are a mafia-like superpower threatening 100% tariffs -- though at this stage I am not sure why the Taiwanese should hold out any hope that the US is a reliable or trustworthy guarantor of their security.

> They can buy it or not.

Obviously Taiwan cannot. The US refuses to sell F35 fighters to Taiwan. And even countries that do buy these weapons do not have full operational control -- e.g., the U.S. has the capability to remotely disable or restrict the functionality of F-35 fighter jets purchased by other countries.

> I'd rather they not be ripped off

Taiwan is getting ripped off. 1) Delivering equipment years behind schedule as well as 2) delivering moldy dilapidated equipment are forms of ripping off your customer. And in this case America's customer is too afraid to dare offend it.

That would be mix of D, Object Pascal, Swift, Ada, C#, Java.

A few decades ago plenty of Oberon dialects.

As language geek, I randomly select languages when doing hobby coding.

Regarding Go's remark, even if I dislike Go's authors decisions, back in my day writing compilers, linkers, firmware, networking stacks, and OS services was considered systems programming.

Likewise .NET team has been making wonders catching up to what C# 1.0 should have been for low level code, given its Delphi linage.

Java, in the context of being whole Android userspace, including drivers, there is very little systems exposed in the NDK. Vulkan is one of the few things not exposed to Java land, and that is being fixed with WebGPU like API in an upcoming version.
Thanks for recommending those awesome resources, also especially the last two paragraphs. They really helped me see what I should do next.
I agree that it’s gotta be fun even without polish. I’ll experiment a lot to make the mechanics solid and enjoyable. Thanks for the comment!

What if Google, Apple, and Microsoft had "kid mode" versions of their OS which is what is enabled by default for any under 18 buying a device and normal mode had to be enabled at point of sale with ID verification?

In kid mode, it could only go to kid sites and run kid apps. If a parent ignores all proper advice and enables normal mode on their kids device, then that's on them (or lock them up, idk).

The main advantage is that the id check only has to happen once, in person, and it leaves most of the responsibilities on the parent who should have a vested interest in raising their kid rather than a corporation who wouldn't.

Because putin demanded NATO roll back to 1990 borders in exchange for a Ukraine peace deal. So of course he wouldn't defend Poland or Lithuania, they won't be in NATO anymore.
I get what you mean. Right now, I can only get feedback through anonymous posts like this, but I’d love to talk to gamers in person as soon as I can. I half-expected some of this feedback, but I was surprised and later grateful by how much people gave (including your comment). Thanks :-)
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll post on that subreddit sometimes and ask for feedback.
Thanks for suggesting those resources, I’ll check them all out.
> Taiwan is hugely reliant on US defense guarantees.

US provided security guarantees to Ukraine in 1996, when it signed the Budapest memorandum. Ukraine gave up its nukes in return.

It appears that US doesn't honor its agreements.

Trump also signed free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico in his first term. But trampled on it in his second term.

I don't think they were as tenable then as they are now.

When I was doing performance work on the platform one of the notable things was how slow some of the message passing was, but how little that mattered because of how many active components there are computing concurrently and across parallel compute units. It'd still show up where latency mattered, but there are a ton of workloads where you also basically hide or simply aren't worried about latency increases on that scale.

A counter case though, as an example, is building the system using a traditional C-style build system that basically spams stat(2) at mhz or these days ghz speeds. That's basically a pathological case for message passing at the filesystem layer, and it's a good example of why few microkernels which aimed at self-hosting made it over the line. It's probably possible to "fix" using modern techniques, but it's much easier to fix by adjusting how the compilation process works - a change that has major efficiency advantages even on monolithic kernels. Alas, the world moves slow on these axes, no matter how much we'd rather see everything move all at once!
The nebulous reason was a small Mediterranean country feeling threatened.
Taiwan today has exactly the same territorial claims as China does -- in fact, Taiwan's are more expansive, since they use the eleven-dash line instead of the nine-dash line. The difference is that Taiwan has little to no ability to project force.

(My comment should not be read as an endorsement of the CCP's willingness to force Taiwan into a reunification.)

Show HN: DevCuriosity – Small website that I created with programming notes
Hello! Few years ago I created a blog/website about programming (mainly Python).

I was working on it on and off for several months in those past ~3 years. Writing articles was kinda pretty stressful for me - I didn't want to spread misinformation by accident so I was doing my best to double and triple check everything (but it also wasn't foolproof).

And currently I am wondering if this kind of notes/articles are still helping people? Mostly I am asking in connection to all the LLMs.

So I was wondering if maybe someone could leave me some feedback.
Here is one of my recent "bigger articles" - https://www.devcuriosity.com/blog/details/arrays-computer-sc...

And this one is a short note that is actually getting the most traffic - https://www.devcuriosity.com/manual/details/python-try-excep...

I noticed that I rarely ask for feedback on my projects so I wanted to change it. Sorry in advance and thank you! :-)
> Wanting to end a war that's been at a stalemate for 3 years doesn't mean sympathy or treason

I find it so hard to take this point seriously. Without security guarantees, you are asking Ukraine to “end the war” and give up massive territory and give Russia plenty of time to re-arm. They have broken treaties before.

Even still, why should the US care if Ukraine wants to keep defending itself from Russian aggression? They are a primary geopolitical rival and the ROI of sending Ukraine our old equipment to directly weaken them is massive compared to almost any other defense related use of it.

What’s more than this, we would be abandoning an ally and signaling that it is safe for countries to do these invasions without significant pushback. The destabilizing result of this will be felt around the world.
These are amazing links, I’ll open them all and dig in. Thanks!

> within the confines of the existing legal structure, which has been hammered out over millennia

This is weird. Any statute that passes in any legislature already amends the law.

> Word-of-mouth, the small claims court, and careful cashflow management is sufficient for a small company doing business with large ones

You are explicitly arguing that large businesses should be able to abuse cash-flow to the detriment of small businesses here, and we should regress to a situation where commerce is protected not by law but by reputation.

> What you're describing is an EU-style behemoth of a government

Did you know that in almost all rich countries except the US bank-transfers are essentially instant and free, explicitly due to government regulation?
