It seems they made the decision that they just didn't want that style of content on the platform – Benjamin, Harris, Peterson, etc, and the controversy, or risk of controversy that went with it.

I've been a follower of/contributor to some people in that sphere (though not Benjamin, to be clear), but I can understand Patreon making that choice and preferring to be a platform for creatives like musicians, filmmakers, writers, artists, etc.
Part of me wishes it is for battery life, yet sadly in many area's like this when we gain battery life we find that offset with a smaller battery and the marketing of how it is now lighter prevails. Which is fine if can do a whole day, which seems to be the target most aim for. I'd love a few days, heck I recall the days of mobile phones that ran for a week of usage.

Alas over the decades we have seen faster and faster CPU's and equally we have in many area's seen sloppier and sloppier code. After all if it runs fine on the latest kit, no apparent need to optimise something that could run much better and by that, use less of the available CPU and less battery. Hence many applications that could run upon less resources - just don't and that's the real shame as whatever gains we make in one area's are eaten up in another when they don't need to be.
This. I can’t stand Windows. Using it in anything than the most shallow of user scenarios feels like an archeology expedition. When you need to do something with the network card (as an example, or a printer) you find remnants of Windows 7, XP, 2000 or even NT. The UI is a mess and version 10 has put lipstick on a pig.

The tools I use in my work aren’t really available in a good form on Linux, so MacOS it is. Also, I have quite a lot of software already that would be both hard an expensive to replace, but I wouldn’t go back to Windows, ever, then I would rather live with the limitations of Linux.
Some problems I had with Snaps:

* Installed VScode. The terminal in VScode was in a different environment from the system terminal, so used different Python environments. Took me a while to figure out why installing a package was not working.
* Installed Slack. When I click a link in Slack it opens a new Firefox process that does not have access to my normal profile, saved logins, etc. and is not shown as a Firefox window in the sidebar.

In both cases I uninstalled the Slack version and installed the "real" version.
well one can hope than any work put into migrating macOS to ARM will benefit iOS, between UI and OS limitations iOS is not support Apple's claim that iPads are replacements.
If you really want to get into the complexities of who holds US debt and what happens if some of it is cancelled or whether than can happen, that's a huge discussion taking weeks of work and requireing PhDs to answer.

I'm just making quips about how much debt has been run up since 2008 and how little the US (or other nations that have followed the same policies) actually has to show for it compared to what it will take to pay it off...
My understanding:

There are these security token objects that are used to keep track of what a process can and can't do. (Think of them as collections of capabilities.)

The design of the system is that you can create a less powerful child copy of your security token (dropping capabilities), and assign this token to a child process when you create that child. A process is free to change its security token to be any child of its current token or any sibling of its current token (plus a few other restrictions).

Someone screwed up a change to the Windows 10 kernel such that when the browser creates a restricted child of its token, the less powerful token is actually marked as a sibling of the browser's token, which is itself a sibling of many other tokens in the system. This means that the token the browser uses to create its child sandbox process has many unrestricted sibling tokens.

The rest of the exploit involves figuring out how to get a handle to a security tokens that a few other processes make publicly available (sounds very strange to me) and which aren't as restrictive as the security token used to create the sandbox process.

If the sandbox's token were (correctly) a child of the main browser process's token, then these other tokens found wouldn't be siblings of the sandbox's token, and the sandbox process couldn't switch to using these security tokens. However, because of the screwed up family tree of these tokens, the sandbox is free to switch to these other security tokens.
Given what we know now, getting high performance will requiring using Apple ARM CPUs that you likely, can only buy mounted in Apple hardware.

If so, the “Linux supported” is not likely to happen without lots of community effort (for a loose definition of “supported”)
>>" [..] We built the system that way deliberately because bartering is not efficient"

Not really, the history of money doesn't support that theory.

>>"[..] it's increasingly clear that in the future, these positive and negative numbers will never add up to zero anymore,"

They don't add already, never were suppose to add. Where is the dollar coming from if not the deficits of government? The spending of money in the economy is what creates money. So, it's the debt of the public sector what create the money in the first place. You are complaining that excessive deficits are creating too much money, so you already agree with that.

>>"[..] Governments will have a hard time selling treasuries when no-one expects them to have any value in the future. "

That makes zero sense. The Central Banks can, and frequently do, determine the interest of the public bonds. Japan is the main example, but there are many others.

>>"[..] all value that is not recorded in tangible, useful assets or [..]"

A government tax every transaction in the economy, and can do it because it has the monopoly of force in that country.
If the USA government only accept dollars for paying taxes, there will be always (while there is an economy and they keep the monopoly of force) demand for the Dollar. The same is true for all the other countries.
> it took a vertically integrated market and made it a horizontally integrated market

I find that a curious statement. While there was quite a bit of diversity in microprocessors, microcomputer manufacturers almost never built their own processors. The majority of the 8 bit market was 6502 and Z80, with a smattering of 8080 and 6809. The 16 bit market mostly was 68000.

Neither Motorola nor Intel were big players in microcomputer manufactoring. The 6502 story is a bit more complicated: MOS sold the KIM-1. And MOS itself were bought by Commodore, though there were several 6502 manufacturers.

The only microcomputer manufacturers I can think of that truly designed their processors were Acorn and Texas Instruments.
I'd be interested in seeing how the numbers compare if there was a porting of Cinebench to the iPhone
I think if they wanted to get to parity with Intel or AMD with the higher end desktop processors they may have quite a bit of work ahead of them, and for a relatively small market, so it's questionable if they would want to sink precious engineering resources into that.

On the portable side though its a no-brainer. I don't see Apple having x86 in new laptops at all after the transition.

But Apple may stop making high end desktop systems all together so it is possible. It's a very small part of their revenue.
I don't think SIMD support will help here, a lot of encoder/decoder code base is hand written ASM.
That's because Chromium is hell to keep updated in a stable distribution release apt archive. Upstream adds new dependencies that aren't packaged in the distribution's stable releases, for example. It's not practical to do anything but a whole load of bundling (in debs) to solve the problem. This then isn't much different to a snap any more anyway, and packaging a snap takes a fraction of the effort.

Anyone is welcome to maintain chromium as an apt package for your distribution release of choice, and you're welcome to point apt to that repository instead. The reason it's not happening is that it's increasingly impractical to do while also maintaining Ubuntu's quality standard for debs.

Wasm blobs seem poised to moot this in the next 10 years. So many things on the desktop have already moved to the web or Electron. Server-side applications turning into browser-executed blobs backed by one of a few database systems still on the server is the next logical step.
This development of market dynamics & structure has been famously featured in the book "Only the Paranoid Survive" by Andy Grove, which I can only recommend (it's a quick and easy read).

Anecdotally, it seems to me that today, the more successful companies are those that tend to be vertically integrated, such as Apple, Tesla, and Amazon.
The harsh modern monetary reality where most Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and have zero job security or savings is enslavement in all but linguistic accuracy.

This has been going on since started inflating our money supply (since when we went off the gold standard in 1971 at least), and the economic degeneration won't stop unless we stop the inflation of our money supply too.

"4. Art must be beautiful, or crafted, or at least 'good'.
5. Art has to have meaning."

By whose authority can these conceptions be labelled as misconceptions? If art is neither beautiful nor crafted or good in any way, and also has no meaning, it can be argued that it also has no intrinsic value.

In that case it is merely an object that is meant to inspire pompous rambling, but so can any object if put on display for the right observers, like in an art exhibit.
> Having one DE emerge as victorious would greatly benefit linux desktops as a whole, even if it would kill customizability.

Good point.
Difference being these aren't vertically integrated in an ecosystem, they're made in-house as a result of corps owning their supply chains.
But that doesn't seem to be motivating the Amish to move to such areas. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_Amish_p... the Amish population of Wyoming was 130 last year. Mind you that appears to be 130 more than before.

It seems that, at least until very recently, they prefer to be where there are already substantial numbers of Amish people already (quite sensible of course). The biggest increase in absolute numbers 2010-2019 was Pennsylvania which is also the state with the highest Amish population.
The opposing side to RTFM is for you to just “Answer the fucking question”. I don't have issue with people that didn’t read or understand, but I do have issue with your RTFA nonsense. What does this add? Far less value than a question that everyone seems to want to know...
Can't see any suggestion that this is officially sanctioned or supported by either trademark holder. Canonical defend the use of "Ubuntu". I would expect a name change fairly soon.

I just read every word of the 220 comments on this post and not once did I encounter the word "rationing" when it came to debating the merits and negatives of single payer. It is the elephant in the room: people pretend it's not there by saying things like "there's a long wait, sometimes over two years for such things as elective hip replacement."

The blog post author abandons the closed form solution of (φ^n - ψ^n) / (φ - ψ) citing loss of accuracy to demonstrate the pretty neat matrix solution.

The closed form solution is not quite a dead end. The floating point errors can be avoided if one works in the field of number of the form a + b √5 where a and b are rational.

All one needs to is to maintain the numbers a and b separately. The same doubling trick applies for exponentiation.
This is a great reminder that everything in business history looks obvious in retrospect.
We should do exactly what the OP says because that's the whole point of news outlets.
Bloomberg stood by that piece and never commented on it, they just ignored. I don't see a reason why I should trust the same outlet.

This was tried in the past. Bottom up stimulus typically results in inflation in consumer prices. The fed prefers pumping money in at the top, which typically results in inflation of stock/asset prices.
In a certain way, this move is horizontally integrated. Intel vertically integrated its chip design and fab. This moves design and fab apart. One of the reasons that Intel is falling so far behind is that they can't keep up with TSMC (and maybe others as well) on the fab side.

Intel's vertical integration worked well for them for so many years. However, the crack has been around long enough for others to start muscling in. AWS can push Graviton because Intel has been stuck at 14nm for so long (yes, they have some 10nm parts now, but it's been limited). Apple can push a move to ARM desktop/laptops because Intel has stagnated on the fab side.

I wouldn't say this is a reversal of that revolution as much as a demonstration of the power and fragility of vertical integration. Intel's vertical integration of design and fab gave them a lot of power. Money from chip sales drove fab improvements for a long time and kept them well ahead of competitors. However, enough stumbling left them in a fragile place.

I think part of it is that ARM also has reference implementations that people can use as starting blocks. I don't know a lot about chip design myself, but it seems like it would be a lot easier to start off with a working processor and improve it than starting from scratch.

I think we're just seeing a dominant player that no one really likes stumble for long enough combined with people willing to target ARM. Whether I run my Python or C# or Java on ARM or Intel doesn't matter too much to me and if AWS can offer me ARM servers at a discount, I might as well take advantage of that. Intel pressed its fab advantage and the importance of the x86 instruction set against everyone. Now Intel has a worse fab and their instruction set isn't as important anymore. They've basically lost their two competitive advantages. I'm not arguing that Intel is dying, but they're certainly in a weaker position than they used to be.

"I recall the days of mobile phones that ran for a week of usage"

do you mean talk time or standby? Because I do not remember this.

Seems much more likely we just used our "single-app" mobiles WAY less. Maybe you were on cellphone calls 4-6 hours a day? But I do not remember any cell phone in the 90s and early 2000s that had a 30+ hours talk-time (plus 150 hours of standby).
You can call it Ubuntu Coprolite as an informal name.
I have been wondering about this as well, about what would happen to AMD/Intel Hackintoshes if Apple was to switch to their own processors. However, wouldn't the assumption that they would stop working also assume that all current Macs (which run Intel processors) would also stop working? Would there not have to be at least like 5 years of continued support of at least Intel processors which would also mean that Hackintoshes could keep working?

Disclaimer: I do not know very much about Hackinthoses, but I have been wanting one more and more the for the last couple of months when more and more successful AMD builds have been created!
In this case, it is Mark Gurman preciously of 9to5mac. He has a very stellar reputation for being correct on this stuff and has for nearly a decade.

Paint me a cynic but I'd not be supprised if we don't see the headline of "Terrorist pandemic" used in headlines within a few years as the definition of `terrorist` is expanded to include everything upto and including a badly worded tweet that is open to strawman interpretations.
Why didn't it go away once /home became common?
This is true; the UK has suffered under "temporary" austerity measures for over a decade now as well, in practice it means the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, while the health care system is underfunded culminating now in a pandemic for which they don't have the means to handle.

It's been a short-term cost-cutting measure that is now basically killing people and damaging the economy, on top of what Brexit already cost them.

But hey, a handful of people made a bit of money off of it, it was totally worth it.

Possibly, but at some point they will need to provide a reasonable way for their developer base to get by. They do depend on the community quite a lot for the popularity and if at some point you won't be able to develop for their platforms you won't.

Windows is a clusterfuck indeed, I would hate to use that to work on. _But_, if it has one 'killer feature' over apple computers, it's gaming I think. Steam proton does a great job making gaming possible on Linux though and possible on Mac as well, haven't tested that.
The slightly bigger body I could accommodate, the rounded edges are f* ugly but can handle that too if I must, even the dumb protruding camera may not repel me if I meditate enough but not having audio connection without some kind of adapter or adapters - considering the various use cases - is just incomprehensibly idiotic. I will never ever go for such. I rather have a granny-phone and paper+pen address book, relearn using printed maps and never carry around e-tickets than giving that amount of money for a defective product design, for an audio device without audio connection (that'd also spare me of annoying update and uninvited functionality frenzy as an extra btw.).

This functionality degradation for the sake of design mania indicates utter madness and gross incompetence!

The police have never investigated all crime. The various tax offices investigate tax fraud; local authority environmental health investigate a variety of piracy and weights and measures crimes; local councils investigate illegal landlords. There are loads of examples of crimes that are not, and never have been, investigated by English police forces.

> abusive use of the earlier RIPA legislation by councils became notorious,

But this is RIPA working as intended. Pre-RIPA those councils were engaging in this kind of surveillance unchecked. After RIPA they have to justify the surveillance, and we the public now have a way to stop them if they're going too far.

RIPA was never intended as "anti terror" law, it was designed to reduce surveillance and bring the rest under a regulatory framework.
>But Apple may stop making high end desktop systems all together so it is possible. It's a very small part of their revenue.

Can you imagine a Windows based PC lasting half of that time?

Outside of the silky OS and tight Linux coupling, it has been a joy to buy computers (albeit at a premium) that last more than 2 years.

I still have a 2009 iMac that is perfectly fine for everything except iOS development (due to an Xcode OS minimum) and a 2015 MBP for that. While my new work 16 MBP is a performance beast compared to the 2015 MBP, I can certainly be productive and expect to be for years to come with my personal kit.
The most obvious illustration of this is the jump in junk-bond ETFs after the Fed began buying up junk bonds.[1]

The Fed is supporting the price of dubious, high-yield corporate debt. Whether or not that's good for the economy is a separate question, but it's not as if the Fed is just replacing assets with cash at 1:1 value. It is encouraging lending to risky enterprises, by itself taking on the risk.
