My personal favourite is "JayScript".

not JScript[0]? or a script written in J[1]?

DoobieScript

I like it. JSON’s father.

I recommend this one

I don't know enough of the 8086 so I don't know if this works the same, but on the Z80 (which means it was probably true for the 8080 too), XOR A would also clear pretty much all bits on the flag register, meaning the flags would be in a known state before doing something that could affect them.

Which I guess is the same reason why modern Intel CPU pipelines can rely on it for pipelining.

The last thing we need is more enshitification on this space.

I just migrated my selfhosted email server to Hetzner and I don't want them turning into monstrosity like AWS or Azure, with theit miriad of ways to nickel and dime the customers.

dirt cheap Nvidia GPUs, perhaps ?

That's the catch phrase of zoology youtuber Lindsay Nikole. https://youtube.com/@LindsayNikole

Having both screens on the outside doesn't let you use the main cameras when folded, Apple would never do that.

It's much easier to smuggle a USB drive with Windows updates than it is a few tonnes of metal.

Then China will switch a billion desktops to Linux and the US will still need rare earths.

I run desktop Linux. It's pretty hard to switch a billion desktops to Linux even if you do it one at a time. Not to mention a ton of problems with compatibility and corporate and government IT

The Chinese pirate Windows extensively, and the code has been leaked before. If IP law goes out the window, they will do whatever the hell they want.

Easier than smuggling a few tonnes of metal? Let me introduce you to my elderly parents...

old people in china don't have computers, they use smart phones

If all the US needs is a few tonnes the cartels can get it done no problem.

That is assuming the objects will be at the same place relative to us, which is not true. Like reaching Andromeda. Voyager I will reach oyr neighbouring galaxy in roughly 4.5 billion years, not 45, that's because Androneda is moving in our direction. Reaching Proxima Centaury would take longer than your estimation because of it's orbit around Alpha Centauri A/B.

Estimating time-to-arrival when your destination is also moving at ludicrous speeds is incredibly difficult.

If China has a monopsony on soy beans, then they nogociate from a position if power, because the US either sells on their terms or see the beans rot.
