Mozilla didn't acquire it, Mozilla is a non profit

Mozilla Corporation did, and they put it in Firefox and you can't opt-out

Well, they don't mind selling their users to Google or Pocket, so are they really loopholes? or is that a PR stunt? i'm leaning towards the later, what about you?

bacteria may enter through pores or cracks (very common during transport) on shell of eggs

That's not non-sense, that's the reality [1]

It happened with Japan, look at them nowadays [2]

It also happened with Europe, Alcatel and Nokia, look at them nowadays [3]

For some reason, only Microsoft can get away with bribing foreign countries [4, 5]

We seen the extension of it with the ban of chinese's 5G and multiple tech companies, including huawei, wich later unveiled novel EUV patents [6], they maybe knew what they were cooking

TSMC's developing story is also quite revealing, with US officials suggesting sabotaging TSMC [7]

"deep state" nowadays has negative connotation because the government wants it to be that way ('it's a conspiracy' argument), look, it works [8]

And it's not just with tech, there are some suspicious stories in other industries, car [9] and metal manufacturing [10] for example

After all these stories, seeing Samsung having to drop plans for a homemade chip with advanced homemade fabs instantly ring bells, specially when the house was tainted with similar stories [11]

Multiplayer in games is a hard problem to solve because each game has their own set of requirements that are hard to abstract or make generic, you'll always have to make compromises wich is not idea, hence why everyone end up doing something custom

But having something ready out of the box is a nice competitive advantage over something like Unity for example

Intel's GPU are doing worse than RDNA2 wich is AMD's last gen

https://www.techspot.com/review/2561-cod-modern-warfare-2-be...

Off-topic:

What a poor way to make an announcement

- low resolution image

- red flashy background full of noise

- blurry text

My eyes are still burning

Their 1st gen is a flop, already building a bad reputation, that'll be hard to recover, unless AMD's RDNA3 gen suspiciously flop too, there is already a lot of FUD about their high end versions despite crushing NVIDIAs so we'll see how it goes

RDNA2 does better at gaming than Intel's new GPUs, except for Raytracing, they have a head start to be future proof, but it ends there, they didn't plan out their strategy properly, specially when both their drivers and software sucks

Embedded, mobile, consoles, AI, Intel's GPU story there is inexistent

Qualcomm was not forced, Qualcomm was not able to compete with M1 chips

Qualcomm is a for profit, they are not forced to be bad, being bad mean less profit, they are just inefficient and had a different strategy, they saw competition coming and they panicked, they are not used to innovate they prefer milk their customers with small and insignificant upgrades every once in a very while as well as making use of their influence with the deep state to kill any weak competition (Samsung's Exynos)

RDNA2 is a beast, low TDP and great perf, i bought the RX 6600 XT (from ebay ~250) for my VM PCI passthrough needs (gaming) and it never go over 50°C, it's quite impressive!

It's even better than the newest Intel GPUs (except maybe for raytracing, but that's a thing for 'tomorrow')

-3 pts in the matter of few seconds

now 0 pts, something fishy at HN HQ ;)

Mine doesn't have this issue, try boot with ``-vga none``

module could have helped, but unfortunately you still need to predeclare everything, and it doesn't support cyclic references, they built modules on top of decades of dated architecture, that was a mistake, they should have took the opportunity to do better to be future proof

It's propaganda, the US want to make sure it's clear to you that it's not an army project but "musk's project", a bit like how they did with google

They are good at it

That's 100% bullshit

You can ignore the GC or totally suppress it with @nogc or even not even link it with -betterC flag

Having the GC optional is nice since you no longer need to use a scripting language to do your cli tools or utilities, it's there and well integrated

If you are a proper developer who care about speed and fast code, you'll want to develop your own STL anyways, just like C/C++ are already doing, just like Rust people are also doing to get faster compile speed, D gives C/C++ interop as well as full C11 compiler

So it's the perfect evolution of C, since it can compile and consume its ecosystem

You can even consume python and rust libraries, wgpu works great with D

That's not true

https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#function-pointers-deleg...

D is a refreshing language in the sea of "alternative to C languages", they didn't reinvent the syntax, so if you come from C, using D will feel very natural and at home! (and you'll be protected from most unsafe/ub quirks of C)

When it comes to metaprogramming, it's excellent, but it is a double edged sword, it can be useful, but if abused it'll tank your build speed, so one must find a proper balance to avoid pain later

One of the few languages that offers its own backend! (LLVM/GCC backends are also available)

I love this level of independence, a real labor of love, one of the best better C, i'd even say this is the evolution C needed

Good, we know it's a thing, therefore we can work towards avoiding it ;)

Why haven't we replaced the dying ISS? why China did?

Why can't we offer universal health care? why China did?

There is a lot of debatable things China did, but when it comes to its citizens, they are properly taken care off to move forward

From a poor emerging country to a developed one in record time, you have to be a strong collective and have the support of your own people to achieve this feat

Our model of society stagnated, we must reinvent ourselves to move forward, otherwise we are headed towards dark times

That's a risk indeed, but that shouldn't prevent us from doing the work in order to ascend, so we must debate and plan today, Switzerland's political system is unique with their direct democracy, so they are better prepared than the rest of the western world

you'll be busy counting your cash on this burning planet while china will be a multiplanetary society

cashless society is a requirement to ascend to the next civilization

CIA/FED's project coming to fruition

Nice desktop UI, simple yet effective!

the US is doing the same, CIA and mossad are working together with the MI6

how do you think they managed to plant all these military bases all around the world?

Got flagged countless times for mentioning the current blockchain work is a plot to crowdfund the upcoming digital EURODOLLAR and digital passport, looks like that day is approaching and is being officialized :)

That's important to hear and try to understand what we do not understand or believe, argumentation is the best weapon against misinformation, not censorship

Now the question, what will happen to the cryptocurrency market once the central banks will release theirs

Will they coexist, or will they become worthless, or worse: illegal

I don't think they'll "invade", a word that's mostly used here in the west, mostly in the US, China doesn't seems to want a war, Taiwan even less, its population rejected the pro-US government [1]

On the other hand, the US proved that they are willing to replace the goverment of a country and arm it

> I seriously doubt that China is secretly prepared to meet their own domestic demand for advanced silicon let alone call bluff of the five eyes.

That's the same people who; 10 years ago said "i don't think China will be able to put into orbit a space station, let alone visiting the moon"

They see the conflict approaching faster than anticipated, leaving not enough time for the US to delocalize TSMC

I suspect we'll see a TSMC sabotage in the coming months

We have that, and also Huawei's EUV patent, Apple perhaps has something hidden yet to be announced

https://www.techspot.com/news/97072-huawei-patents-euv-litho...

it's mentioned that it's 0 emission cars

0 emission cars aren't just EVs

you have fuel cells too with hydrogen

by 2035, lot can happen
