Summary

The Trump administration has laid off 60 employees, cutting two-fifths of the U.S. Chips Program Office, which manages the Chips and Science Act.

The cuts include 20 voluntary resignations and 40 probationary employees terminated by Monday.

Trump opposes the Chips Act, which allocated $52 billion for U.S. semiconductor production, favoring economic tariffs over direct funding.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick credits tariffs for TSMC's new $100 billion U.S. investment. The future of the Chips Office remains uncertain, with potential further cuts ahead.

I recently spent five days in jail for social media posts critical of Israel and police charges brought against me. It was an unpleasant, though interesting, experience that culminated in a small victory for free speech and Palestine campaigning. On Thursday February 20 at 9:30…

I have some familiarity with C++, and concepts like compiling and linking static and dynamic libraries, which is what I understand as collections of code that simplify doing certain things.

But then I get confused in certain cases, for example, why is OpenGL considered an API? Why is it necessary to use other libraries like GLAD, freeGLUT or GLFW to interface with OpenGL?

And then other languages have this thing called package managers, like pip, node, cargo, and vcpkg for c/c++, where you install these packages that get used like libraries? What's the difference?

Finally the ones I understand the least of are frameworks. I keep hearing the concept of frameworks like Angular for js and a lot of stuff that's too alien for me because I'm still unfamiliar with web development.

So for example, I'm using the raylib library for a small game project I have. I link the .lib or .dll file to my executable file so I know I'm unambiguously using a library. How come there's also Cocos2dx which is a framework? What's the distinction?

Original Title: People who use anti-inflammatory drugs over a long period of time may be at a lower risk of dementia regardless of the dosage. The findings suggest that prolonged, rather than intensive, use of anti-inflammatory medications may help protect against dementia.

{Myanmar] Junta chief, on Moscow visit, thanks hosts for weapons and predicts victory over Ukraine.

For example, let’s say I wanted to start a community around some topic, but I felt that lemmy.dbzer0.com was better suited for it than slrpnk.net. But I want to keep my account on slrpnk.net as the account that moderates the community. Is that possible?

The buyer’s remorse is playing out at a volatile moment for Tesla, as stocks dropped by double digits in the last week, wiping out most of a post-election surge for Mr. Musk’s company. A recent report showed plummeting sales in Europe, and the company faces increased competition from other E.V. makers eating away at its market share. Recent protests outside Tesla showrooms in the United States and some notable cases of vehicle owners being harassed have also made headlines.

Ms. Trebb, 54, a family therapist and a Democrat, said she had decided to trade in her Tesla for a gas-powered Mercedes, accepting $32,000 of the Tesla’s original $55,880 value, despite having only 10,000 miles on it. Her decision, she said, was cemented during a recent trip to the supermarket.

“Two weeks ago, I was called a Nazi,” she said, “in the parking lot at Kroger,” adding an expletive. “I came home and told my husband, ‘That’s it. I’m done.’”

A number of defectors from the Tesla brand said that a deal-breaker was when Mr. Musk extended his arm diagonally upward, palm facing down while speaking at an inauguration event for Mr. Trump, a gesture that resembled a salute used in Nazi Germany and fascist Italy.

“I’m sort of embarrassed to be seen in that car now,” said Ms. Trebb, who got a bumper sticker that said, “I bought this before Elon went crazy,” one that has gained popularity.
