Per-core performance has been stagnant in the past decade. Apple already appears to beat Intel's Y-series processors in most things. Scaling the un-core parts up to compete on desktop will take some doing, but scaling up into the relatively restricted 15-28W range is much easier.

Most importantly, Intel charges a premium for ultra-low power chips. If Apple can make a chip that's 80% of the performance for a couple hundred less per unit, it's a great deal. Moving everything to a unified ISA reduces design and developer costs and increases total control (aka vendor lock-in) which also increases profits.

Nice.

Though I have to say, my favorite pulled pork hack involves C, PHP, an Arduino, a Pi, a couple of thermocouples, and a fan controlled by a solid state relay[1].

This is a really good article. Amazing how a dozen+ different things combined to produce the unfortunate result. Perfect case study in there being no such thing as a singular 'root cause'.
Does the iMac possibly have a HDD rather than an SSD (which your custom PC probably has)?

The SSD makes a huge difference in response time. It’s the only reason I’m still using my 5 year old MacBook Pro which has a PCIe SSD and I have no plans to upgrade other than to maybe get TB3 support.

I actually do real development on it, running multiple applications, running Xcode builds, the lot. It does everything I throw at it like a champ.

I’m not sure where you’re getting the 2-3 but that’s definitely not what you should be getting from a modern PC/Mac, especially if they have an SSD.
There are some parallels with software. Encryption for example. Don't deviate from standard implementations unless you really know what you're doing. And even then, review it and review it again. Preferably by a separate expert.
My experience as well. I moved from RN to Flutter because the dev experience felt less brittle.
Our justice system is just not well-designed to hold police to account.

There's no neutral, separate prosecutor to bring charges against the police. Instead, it's on District Attorneys and regular prosecutors--the same offices that bring charges against citizens and work with police witnesses every day of the year. Incentives are misaligned. Prosecutors, for the most part, are strikingly reluctant to pursue legal action against fellow law enforcement. They are nearly coworkers, in the sense that they see each other often and rely on each other to accomplish their day to day jobs.

Local police are rarely prosecuted and even more rarely convicted even in serious cases, like officer-involved shootings: https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/18/us/police-involved-shooting-c...

The chance that federal police will see consequences for breaking copyright law looks slim.

Metaphor is not comparison. We do not need to remove the useful construct of metaphor from language simply because it considers two things which are otherwise distinct along the lines where they are similar. Child pornography and homeless people are both things which 'polite society' would like to not have to deal with at all. It is easy to make an argument for eliminating child pornography on its other aspects (the harm), but the facts of homelessness would identically be targeted by any system which seeks to assist 'polite society' in eliminating utterly from social platforms anything which they would like to not be confronted with. Because the system can't be built to target based on harm. But it can be built to target based on 'I don't want to see that'. And in that way, the metaphor is useful.
That is definitely not true.

In fact, performance has gotten slightly better for me on my 2013 MacBook Pro, especially after the Metal/APFS upgrade after High Sierra. And I’ve been upgrading since Mavericks now, not doing a clean install.

That looks to me like an apology for a lousy job on the requirements engineering side. Of all possible use-cases the port-tethering behavior stroked them as the most logical? The question that should have been considered is how often can it happen for users to plug the same device on different port vs. to plug two identical devices? Microsoft here gave more thought to the case with a leaser likelihood, in my opinion. How about remembering my device regardless of the port I choose to plug it in and give me the new-device treatment only when I'll actually deserve it by actually plug a(n additional) new device?

Landing and reusing the first stage booster. This is why Vulcan is designed to only recover the engines, because recovering the whole booster while still launching a useful payload was thought to be impossible. It was thought that the stresses of re-entry would be too severe without excessive weight increases and that it would not be possible to retain enough fuel for a propulsive landing.

And x86 is a bit wasteful in terms of what it does effectively with those transistors because the front-end required to translate x86 instructions.

That's a tiny amount in comparison to all the other pieces like cache, ultrawide SIMD units, and bus interfaces; and given that it acts as a sort of "decompressor" interfacing the slower memory containing denser instructions with the faster core and its wide uops, I'd say those transistors are quite well spent.

Chapter I; Howard Roark to the Dean

---

"Why do you want me to think that this is great architecture?" He pointed to the picture of the Parthenon.

"That," said the Dean, "is the Parthenon!"

"So it is."

"I haven't the time to waste on silly questions."

"All right, then." Roark got up, he took a long ruler from the desk, he walked to the picture. "Shall I tell you what's rotten about it?"

"It’s the Parthenon!" said the Dean.

"Yes, God damn it, the Parthenon."

The ruler struck the glass over the picture.

"Look, " said Roark. "The famous flutings on the the famous columns—what are they there for? To hide the joints in the wood—when columns were made of wood, only these aren't, they're marble. The triglyphs, what are they? Wood. Wooden beams, the way they had to be laid when people began to build wooden shacks. Your Greeks took marble and they made copies of their wooden structures out of it, because others had done it that way. Then your masters of the Renaissance came along and made copies in plaster of copies in marble of copies in wood. Now here we are, making copies in steel and concrete of copies in plaster of copies in marble of copies in wood. Why?"
I recently switched from a 2015 MacBook Pro to a Dell XPS 15" 9570 running Fedora + Cinnamon

The following shifts Ctrl/Win/Alt one to the left:

clear control
clear mod4
clear mod1

keycode 37 = Super_L
keycode 133 = Alt_L Meta_L
keycode 64 = Control_L

add control = Control_L Control_R
add mod4 = Super_L
add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R Meta_L

Add this to `~/.Xmodmap`, add it to autorun (KDE and Cinnamon will autostart, Gnome needs a kick in the pants): `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap`

You can't use this on Wayland, has to be on X11, which is fine with me because Wayland has other issues.

Now you can copy/paste/cut/etc using Alt key (which is now mapped to Ctrl).
From what I've heard and read:

1) AWS came up with their AZ layout (small nearby buildings) to avoid needing industrial-scale power and cooling gear.

2) Industrial electricians despise working with web startups because they ask stupid questions like, "can we failover the megawatt bus bars periodically?". Those are intended for emergency failovers annually, not like some kind of API you call repeatedly.

What's the lifetime of an optane or NVMe drive when used as a constantly thrashing cache? Weeks? Months?

Edit: Missed this the first time through:

> Calculating this is done by monitoring an SSD's tolernace of "Drive Writes Per Day". If a 1TB device could survive 5 years with 2TB of writes per 24 hours it has a tolerance of 2 DWPD. Optane has a high tolerance at 30DWPD, while a high end flash drive is 3-6DWPD.
Yeah that's correct, the Windows machine has a SSD and the iMac does not. Perhaps I've just forgotten how intolerable HDDs are.

Yep, but the AppleTV already acts as a "Home IoT server" alongside the HomePod. (and an iPad can it too.)

HomeKit uses one of those 3 devices to allow external access to your local sensors. For instance, I get notifications when the front door is opened and closed. I can unlock it remotely too. Am slowly adding extra sensors.

From the cousin comment:

See HomeCam https://homecam.app

Unfortunately you can't run any old app in the background on any of these closed devices. I have a quad-core Mini that does duty as media library, software update caching, video encoding and photo export... if I could do those on an ATV it would be great.

Indeed. And what I'm most interested in is all the cash they're dumping into commercial phased-array antennas. If they manage to scale enough to get them to a low enough price they will be amazing for all sorts of other stuff.
Interesting, I'm sure there's multiple causes but that could certainly contribute significantly.
It’s against the law in New Zealand for example.

I'm saying that women who have partners who get paternity leave are able to get assistance and support in the weeks after giving birth when they're exhausted, healing, and in many cases fighting post-partum depression.

Women without partners or whose partners don't get leave have to face that time alone.

It's not a disadvantage in a competition. It's an additional obstacle to overcome that not everyone has to. I think it's a shame we can't give every mother the chance to have that physical assistance and moral support after giving birth.

(Of course, before we address that, maybe we should focus on making paid maternity leave universal. Imagine giving birth (pushing a watermelon out of your private parts or having it cut out of your abdomen) and then having to return to a physically demanding minimum wage job immediately after so you can still pay the rent and buy food? While being the sole caregiver for a baby who wakes you every 3 hours for feeding. I don't know how they do it. My friends who gave birth naturally were advised by their doctors not to even try to walk more than around the house for the first 6 weeks after, to allow for proper healing.)

As somebody who really likes Vue, I feel like it's hampered by comparison by not being able to use "real" JS in the bulk of the view templates. There's a lot of minor boilerplate annoyances in outputting stuff that go away when you can do array maps and Ramda functions as a direct part of your rendering.

Stars don't matter. If we want a measure that's actually meaningful to some developers, look at job postings.

Anecdotally from my on and off job searching, React leads here by orders of magnitude. And unfortunately for me, my Vue personal experiments/side projects have to be put in the sideline for a bit. Many people I've talked to want direct React experience and not just experience in reactive frontend stuff.
The story of Yugoslavia's DIY computer revolution (2013)
datasheet says something along 5pb write endurance.
The article doesn't say what the exact power drop is, but it appears to have been at least 75%:

> Within days, Opportunity saw sunlight dimming as atmospheric opacity — a measure of how much dust is in the air — soared. The rover’s energy production dropped by half over the course of 2 days, and then half again in a single day, Callas said during a media briefing on 13 June.

Aside from nuclear, some reasonable mitigations for this kind of thing might include substantial over-provisioning of panels, some kind of battery, or some kind of temporary measures to consume very little energy in an emergency.

I think over-provisioning might actually be the most practical solution, particularly if any Martian settlement needs a massive solar farm anyways in order to produce electricity to convert water and carbon dioxide into methane and liquid oxygen. Making rocket fuel is important, but not so important that it can't be curtailed for a few weeks if that energy is needed elsewhere.

> An optimized system of this design massing 50 kg "is projected to produce 1 kg/day of O2:CH4 propellant ... with a methane purity of 98+% while consuming 700 Watts of electrical power." Overall unit conversion rate expected from the optimized system is one tonne of propellant per 17 MWh energy input.

Burning rocket fuel to generate electricity might also be an option if there's a temporary shortage.
> Because I believe single mother phenomenon is on a rapid rise in USA. What about children who dont know their dads ?

A single mother doesn't imply that the children don't know or spend time with their father.

Anecdotal counterpoint: I star projects to bookmark them, so that when I have a spare moment I can go through the list and find interesting repos that I might use. But I typically don't unstar later if I stop using something. I should, but I just don't "clean" my collection that often.

Many orgs haven't deployed LAPS yet. I know, lame, but its a fact. Even fewer have migrated to use DAWs, 2FA, delegated creds or the other top ways to secure AD. Its really complicated to do on a production environment of >1000 users.

Many networks are essentially flat, and don't make use of intra-network firewalling. So a compromised client can do MAC flooding, DNS spoofing, send SMB requests to other clients, pretend to be a printer, etc. All of these are preventable, but it just isn't in the mindset of most security orgs.

But the main reason that people don't have local admin is a psychological one: managers don't understand security and have a paranoid need to lock everything down for end users, even though they are not the main threat vector, and are the people who generate revenue.
