Interesting.. back in the early ‘00, I implemented the BeOS api on top of the win32 api. Naive me thought that would make people adopt programming for BeOS and in turn would make it a popular OS.

Do you own the rights to it? Can it be published on github? Thanks.

"Failed Experiment" is euphemism for "IMF pressure."

He was around 55 years old when he founded TSMC.

Regarding the translation from Chinese to English, I think it is a case for community funding. What is the budget required for this?

Where did you hear that he left because of racism? He worked at the place fro more than 20 years and rose pretty darn high in the company.

What specific claims of racism has he made?

NonEUCitizen · a year ago
"rose pretty darn high" but not high enough.

> Racism

Huh? How did you make that leap? As others have pointed out, Chang was a bigwig at TI.

NonEUCitizen · a year ago
not bigwig enough for morris.

There is definitely one, see the amazement of Go compile times, versus what Turbo Pascal was doing on MS-DOS computers running at 20 MHz.

Turbo Pascal is just an example from the days when C and C++ were yet to rule the Zeitgeist, and we had scripting all over the place.

NonEUCitizen · a year ago
Even the original Turbo Pascal for CP/M was fast (e.g. running on the 2MHz Z80 SoftCard for the Apple II).

We've had a case in Australia of an ex-US forces pilot trainer arrested under extradition laws because he is said to have taught Chinese pilots how to land and take off from aircraft carriers.

Think about it for a minute: His one portable skill, the IPR behind doing a thing, a mechanical act, is deemed to be an ITAR risk. Knowing how to do it, is a weaponised concept in strategic planning.

And ask yourself: Can this apply to VLSI design smarts, or OpSEC, or DEVOPS?

I'm pretty sure at this stage, it applies to Cryptography so basically, be good at maths, you have no right (specifically right: you may be, you may not) to go and work in China.

It's been true for past knowledge of workplace. NSA (see above) and probably US forces (see the start) and I would suspect, other things too. If you worked at the FTC or department of state, don't try for a working holiday abroad without permission.

FTC or State Department personnel are highly unlikely to have globally in-demand skills such as VLSI.
