Pure capitalism may work in a pre-globalization society. Globalization without a single unified world governent (may the gods save us from that) puts severe wrenches in capitalism for reasons we all saw: companies are unregulated and move manifacturing (and now even engineering) where it's cheaper, increasing their own country technological debt.

My biggest gripes are that profits are privatized, expenses are socialized, and that the CEOs aren't in touch with the reality of their workers, as they make hundreds to thousands of times more than the workers. If those weren't the cases, I wouldn't be so bitter about the hypocrisy of calling ourselves 'Capitalist.'
For a so-called 'Socialist,' Bernie nailed it on this topic: Why I Oppose the CHIPS Giveaway.

While we’ve seen scientists find novel ways to use insects after they’re dead, it’s hard to imagine any group of researchers topping the work of a team from Rice University that turned lifeless wolf spiders into “necrobotic” grippers. Because your nightmares need fuel too
Necrobotic. Lovely term. I don't imagine those researchers sit at the popular table for lunch.

Only science can create something gross and simultaneously fascinating.

Those aren't "necrobots"; they are zombies!

Researchers at Stanford University, MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, and the Autodesk AI Lab have collaborated to develop a novel learning-based framework that can interpret 2D instructions to build 3D objects. It's now buying up all the pieces to build itself a fortress

I see they started with the easy one - Legos. Let me know when it can handle Ikea's instructions.

And that's still easy.
What about a manual originally written in Chinese and then translated into a western language?

Researchers have unpacked a major cybersecurity find—a malicious UEFI-based rootkit used in the wild since 2016 to ensure computers remained infected even if an operating system is reinstalled or a hard drive is completely replaced. The attacks are coming from inside the computer

This will ensure the MSBuild node spawns with a lower priority, affecting all compile and link processes. For those times where you just feel a little buildish

There's no doubt about it: The top ask of Visual Studio users is to run the IDE on the Linux OS. They need a good text editor after all
|
|
|
|

IDEs available on Linux are a hellscape of broken components and severely outdated UX.

Meta, the social ad biz better known as Facebook, on Wednesday endorsed four programming languages as preferred options for employees and for developers building software on its platform, now in the midst of reorientation toward data-rich virtual worlds. Good news! Apparently, I can't work for Facebook!

New npm security enhancements include an improved login and publish experience with the npm CLI, connected GitHub and Twitter accounts, and a new CLI command to verify the integrity of packages in npm. Still same npm problems, but now more secure!

Attackers are increasingly leveraging Internet Information Services (IIS) extensions as covert backdoors into servers, which hide deep in target environments and provide a durable persistence mechanism for attackers. Kudos to them - I remember them being fairly difficult to write
but it's been a while since I looked into them

Upfront work in technical projects are 'shifting left' -- with more emphasis on planning, business use case analysis, architecture, and design. "How do you like it? How do you like it?"

This article is so stupid my nose started to bleed. Seriously ZDNet, this:
"The value of cloud doesn't lie in its infrastructure alone but in the notional agility organizations can create if leaders are highly skilled and knowledgeable of all its possibilities,"
what kind of marketing bs is this? Notional agility? This is just a marketing hack claimed to be an article. Best read in the can.

AArch64 differs from AArch32 so much that I’m going to cover it fresh rather than treating it as an extension of AArch32. Find how how Tab A fits into Slot B

Employees at Shenzhen facilities owned by Chinese chipmaking giant SMIC and other manufacturers will have to sleep at work this week due to the local government reportedly ordering the companies to enter a "closed-loop" operating mode. But, do they have ping pong tables in the office?
