If China invades Taiwan and we haven't had a chance to spin up chip infrastructure on the American continents, we're in for a world of pain. How much of the infrastructure can be bootstrapped without the existing TSMC infrastructu

The article doesn't mention subscriptions, which is pretty interesting. Will this be a standalone hardware product?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a small form-factor computer like one of these that has a PCIe M.2 slot for a 4G/5G card, where cost is the primary factor? I don't need performance, but I want a cheap little machine that I c

Writing Go code for builds is not a great plan. I saw how badly this went with Gradle and Java builds, and Go is going to be even more verbose.

CI/CD on push is the worst form of build system – except for all the others that have been tried. Ideally our builds would be containerized in something a little better than docker, fully hermetic and 100% reproducible outside of githu

Momentum is what keeps the people I know who use Windows, on Windows. They won't shell out for a Mac not knowing if they'll like it (or explicitly not liking it -- a more common feeling with certain kids these days?). It's re

Uhh, I don't understand. It's an open-source project with a ton of eyeballs on it. Are you saying that someone is going to sneak in a change to exfiltrate all keystrokes in a massively popular terminal app without anyone noticing?

Assuming you're unhappy with this (I am neutral on it), I'm actually curious: what do you lose by iTerm2 having an opt-in feature that you don't need to use? How do you replace all the lost features of iTerm2 that aren't

I'm glad the article questions _whether this is even a problem_, but it seems they tried to answer it and failed to come up with a convincing argument: > I don't get it. It's a very optional feature that you have to:

Most of what comes out of Russia is performative, and is designed to project strength whether it exists or not. The west has been pretty smart about slowly pushing the red lines -- they've not gone fast enough for Putin to justify any

Firefox's Bugzilla is certainly one of the oldest running bug trackers. I'm impressed at how much of the original feel of the bug tracker is still around after all these revisions. It was a pretty hairy, monstrous codebase back in

The explicit list of balance changes in the changelog is a nice touch. That's probably one of the most difficult things to tweak in an OSS RTS like this. https://www.beyondallreason.info/development/changelog

Title is a bit inflammatory. It will be interesting to see what happens when big tech starts battling big content again. The two titans of American industry occasionally spar, but it's a bit of a crapshoot who ends up winning -- Google

It makes a lot more sense that he was caught red-handed, likely hiring a similar voice actress and not realizing how strong identity protections are for celebs.

Blinking for attention is fine. It's more the 50-100Hz flicker that drives me crazy! :)

This would be fantastic for people like me that are extremely sensitive to flicker. LED lights and alarm clocks drive me insane at lower refresh rates because they leave dotted trails at night time. I would kill for a computer that didn&#x2

This is so wrong, sorry. Humans evolved to reproduce as a species successfully, not to ensure the optimum survival of an individual. Not everything your body does is in your best interests: something that tends to be the best solution for l

I really want to like games like this, but it's not really clear from the UI what direction you should be going. There's a list of suggestions, but I guess that's just a starting point? And a few words in it just ended the ga

I can understand the earlier reports, but the devices that are wiped and disassociated from the original iCloud account? That seems like a major failure of design. The failure mode here is puzzling.

At what point does a "clever technique" become a "hack" in the world where code is law? The biggest mistake I see those in the crypto space make is thinking that you can remove humans from the loop entirely and just rely
