The big problem with switching CPUs is the instruction set.

For most people, it doesn't matter. But if you are in some niche domains, it really has an impact. I don't expect a smooth transition of libraries such as BLAS or VMs such as the JVM. You can't simply recompile these. You typically need a human to rewrite SSE, AVX and other tricky low level code so that performance stays competitive.

So this is Geekbench 5 showing the difference between a 2012 macbook air i5 and a 2020 macbook air i5 - both base models and similar price: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/2613713?baselin...

And this is a thread in the rust subreddit about compilation speed on macbooks where some users report the performance increase for different generations of macbook pros and macbook airs, if you want a more "realistic benchmark" to calibrate geekbench results: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/gypajc/macbook_pro_20...

This is the ipad pro 2020 crushing the macbook air 2020: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/2612714?baselin...

And this is the improvement from the previous generation ipad A10 to the ipad pro's A12Z - 2x speed up in single a generation: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/2613991?baselin...

You are definetely right that Moore's law is hitting Intel hard. But AMD is still doing quite well, nvidia and "ati" are doing incredibly well, and Apple chips have been doing extremely well over the last couple generations.

Maybe you are right, and Apple won't be able to deliver 2x speed ups in the next 2 generations. I'd expect that, just like for Intel, things won't abruptly change from one gen to another, but for this to happen over a longer period of time. Right now, only apple knows what perf their next 2 gens of chips are expected to deliver.

The only thing we know is that Apple ARM chips are crushing their previous generation both for ipads and iphones year after year, and now they are betting on them for macbooks, and potentially mac pros, probably for at least the next 10-15 years.

I do that a lot with Reason/OCaml. It is surprising how powerful imperative, mutable programming is when most of the code you write is functional, and then you want do something a little difficult in the paradigm, and you make a `ref`, write a while loop, mutate an array, or store stuff in a global variable, and it is done! Mutation in OCaml is like a fine scalpel - extremely powerful, occasionally used, and just right on the table whenever you need it.
So POWER only for desktop systems, keep macbooks on something else?
WTF? Almost half a million people are dead. Your freedoms? Wear a mask, wash your hands.
>I think not choosing NVidia, especially for the Mac Pro, was a big mistake and costs them customers.

Apple's reluctance to use Nvidia has been a total head scratcher. I owned a 2011 with Nvidia dedicated GPU, but this was the line with known manufacturing defects. I had the mainboard replaced twice because of this issue, but eventually replaced the laptop when the GPU failed again. It's like Apple is holding a grudge.
For the reality-clingers, this is also the perfect set-up. No more closing your laptop and having your TV staring back at you. Your screen is your screen is your screen, and you can turn it off and not have to deal with any of them.

LDDR3 was used for power efficiency. Apple generally only updates to newer generation CPUs when (a) Intel can supply enough and (b) there's a significant performance or power efficiency improvement. As far as I can tell they make the decisions on engineering grounds.

Thank you for sharing.
I think that everybody ends up "living their lives on their own terms" in one way or another. Life presents facts to you. If you wish to go on living, you adapt to them. If you choose not to go on living, that's your choice, but I think it's misleading to imply that other people aren't making their own choices -- including, most of the time, choices that bring them to stay alive.

I don't mean that as anything negative about McCandless. It's just that I think it's worth saying that other people aren't also lesser for making their own different choices. They are also doing their best with the difficult problems life throws at you, giving you lots of options and few clues.
The Future of the Windows Subsystem for Linux
This is like a post-mortem of watching high-ranking business people making very important business-y decisions braying loud business noises, brimming with confidence. It's like anything they see is shiny, they think, "How can I get thingy? How can I use thingy to be more business-y?" then later "Thingy is broken" and they wander off in search of another thingy. It's just so frustrating to watch Pakleds in three-piece suits (Star Trek: The Next Generation, episode "Samaritan Snare") asking if you can make us go. And the people responsible for the terrible decisions probably thought they did a great job, and then were paid as if they did a great job, despite somehow managing this thing into the ground.

You're not thinking very hard.
I just replaced my MacBook Late 2013 after similar usage. No repairs, no hiccups or any component failure whatsoever except for a very badly degraded battery - it lasted about 1.5 hours on a full charge at the end. There’s a lot to be said about Apple but honestly I don’t see any other manufacturers that produce laptops that last so insanely long. Hopefully my new one will last as long as well :)
Same. Pivotal is nice because there's very little to bikeshed, but it's a double edged sword because it can't evolve as your processes get more sophisticated.

They absolutely are because Nvidia blamed Apple for the defects
The main thing I remember about Winamp is how Nullsoft release that P2P thing and made corporate at AOL really angry, so they pulled it, in like a day or so.

I also switched from Windows to MacOS just before that and transitioning from Winamp (where a lot of meta data for my collection was stored in the filesystem as directory hierarchy) to iTunes was sorta painful and trying.
I wrote a similar tool (but not as polished) that requires you to write custom plugins. This works well if you have websites that are hard to scrape in an automated way. Maybe it's useful to someone else: https://github.com/dewey/feedbridge
In my experience, outside of engineering, most people at Google are surprisingly incompetent at their jobs. I absolutely would not assume Google knows what they're doing - in fact, at this point, I tend to assume Google has no idea what they're doing.

This is based on interacting with a couple dozen people though, so it is a small sample size.
The true-believers didn't matter because they were a cult.

I have a family member in the Cult of Apple. Up to the day of the announcement, you would hear him talk about how amazing PowerPC was, Risc vs Cisc, etc.

From the day apple anounced the move to Intel and on, he did a 180, talking about how smart Apple was to switch, how modern Cisc was really just a frontend to a Risc processor anyways, etc.

I run a similar service where I rate limit. I've whitelisted the IPs of the centralised feed readers like Feedly (at least the ones I've been able to identify), but the reate limit for non-whitelisted IPs is generous enough that it's really there to only catch the really problematic scripts which crop up from time to time.
Maybe true mindfulness training has the subtleties you describe. But when it is mass-packaged and standardized such that it can be taught in schools, it will lose a lot of nuance. The approach can’t be judged in terms of its best form, but rather in terms of the average form available (in this case) to students.

> Making password entry difficult is like attempting weight loss by eating bland food. It's not the flavour that makes you fat.

Big side-tangent, but amusingly enough, one modern view on the etiology of metabolic syndrome is that your brain tracks satiety for different nutrient classes separately; so foods that are "tasty" in the sense of containing many different nutrient-signals (sugar, salt, fat, acid, etc.) take larger quantities of food to signal fullness (something something liver metabolism is a rate-limited queue); so if you start off hungry and eat such foods until you "feel full", you will have eaten more of them than you "should have", to the point of eventually doing excitotoxic things to your leptin receptors, inducing leptin resistance and making you feel hungry more often.

Which is to say, it's not flavor that makes you fat, but rather flavors, plural. ;)

The advice of the scientists who subscribe to this hypothesis is that you don't have to eat bland food; you just have to eat monotonous food (food only containing one primary nutrient-signal), and you'll feel full with less of it. When you sit down for a meal, eat all meat, or all bread, or all green leafy vegetables. Balance your diet by having something different each meal, not by combining foods in a single meal. Avoid foods that are themselves "combinations", like pizza. Avoid adding a secondary nutrient-signal to something to "amp up" the taste, like adding sugary+oily dressing to a mineral-y salad. Just choose foods that already taste good to you without any "amping up", and eat those, by themseleves.

This is, after all, the real "paleo diet": when animals kill prey, they eat just meat for a meal. When they find fruit, they eat just fruit for a meal. They don't bring them together to eat them all at once.

(Whatever you think of the hypothesis, studies have been done which confirm the advice: eating monotonously per meal, makes you feel full after less food intake. You hit a wall with a kind of "tired/bored of eating this, disgusted by the idea of eating more" feeling, which makes you lose the rest of your appetite. That's your body's nutrient-satiety mechanism kicking in correctly.)

I'm on a 2012 MBP with similar experiences. Every year I think about finally replacing it, but hold off on it because everything still works fine apart from some increased fan noise and reduced battery capacity (which doesn't concern me too much). If you treat your laptop with care it really does last a long time.

At some point I expect I will stop getting MacOS updates which will force me to upgrade to a newer model.

Off topic but since we are talking about RSS feeds: Is there a web service to replay feeds?

Use case are old blog archive one wants to (re-) read sequentially from the start but not in binge mode. So maybe one post per day or week. I'm thinking about the old posts of Aaron Swartz or Steve Yegge.

Just adding the feed to a feed reader is often not sufficient because the feed only contains the last 20 entries or so.
Click and run was an app store in 2002.
Thinkpads last insanely long, too.

I have a Thinkpad that I purchased in early 2014 that is still going strong except for, as in your case, a degraded battery.

My grandparents used to play Freecell on a very early IBM Thinkpad (manufactured in 1993, I think) that I picked up for free in a garage sale in 2001. This machine lasted well into 2005, and probably still works today.

Highly recommend trying them out. These days you can get equivalent performance to Macbook Pros for maybe 60% of the cost.
You can indeed, but VBA is of course imperative, and VBA is used in part because it is difficult to read/write and considered a poor practice to have any significant chaining of functions in the spreadsheet. The bigger reason it is used, of course, is because Excel's declarative environment does not accommodate all behaviors and users prefer to implement them imperatively. So this sort of reinforces Excel as not being a functional environment.
not to be cynical, but I LOL'd at your 2. Google should just do a lot of things. However, they will only do things as long as those things make them money. Ignoring the problem costs them nothing, fixing will cost them.

Thanks, but your accompanying paragraph is not what I asked for. Yes, it's a problem if people's skin colour is affecting their ability to earn - so there being a racial factor to wealth is an issue. But it's a separate issue to "is it 'just' that justice is reserved for richer people".

Obviously the impact of the later is felt more if a particular grouping by skin colour are poorer, but the problem and solution are different to if the cause of this is directly racism (assuming our aim is justice for all regardless of skin colour; that's certainly my aim).

I'm not personally too concerned with complete wealth equality (I'd probably go for heavily garnishing large wages). For example, in the UK I gather immigrants contribute more to taxes than the average; suggesting they fit in middle-income brackets (not super wealthy, not abjectly poor; on average). Penalising immigrants for succeeding would be harsh, and wouldn't account for the massive biasing of averages for the endemic population through inherited wealth.

AR is going to have severely limited consumer appeal until the FOV issue is solved, which is much, much harder for AR than it is for VR. Combined AR/VR is because the only way to get a decent FOV is to essentially pass a camera through a VR headset. Tracking latency is also still a huge issue, as is UX (hand-tracking, currently in its infancy, is what is expected, whereas VR can still get away with using handsets, which have become very impressive lately with their impementations of grip-tracking and haptic feedback).

Saying VR is a niche for XR headsets would be like saying word processing was a niche for home computers in the 70s. The tech simply isn't here yet to make an appealing product without everything you need for the "niche" application, so you might as well include it anyway.
Looks like the anti-glare coating is coming off too. That happened to my MacBook and Apple replaced the whole screen for free, that's pretty good considering it was 4 years old.
> Thanks to MMA, we know now that many modern martial art teachings are not practical from a self-defense perspective.

I don't disagree with the general point that there are martial art schools that do not teach effective self defense - but I'm not sure how MMA figures in to it.

Self defense is about situational awareness, coping with multiple attackers, probably armed. Often you may have a way of de-escalating the situation (eg: give them your wallet).

I suppose in the instance of a single un-armed rapist (often the case when the victim knows the attacker) MMA has increased the focus on grappling (ie: judu/jujutsu/bjj and various wrestling techniques).

I'm not sure what else the popularity of MMA has thought us about self defense.

Now, if your talking about ring fighting with a particular ruleset, one on one, with a referee... That might be something else.

I've been through so many educational fads, in my time as a teacher, that it's difficult not to be cynical.

When I first started teaching it was all about Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic learners. Then brain gyms, then multiple intelligences, then personality typing. To be honest, I've lost track of the number of new strategies that I've had CPD for in those first few days back at school every September.

Mindfulness was just starting to creep in when I quit the formal education game. I'd bet that it'll be gone within five years, replaced with some new and shiny fad.

This began the day google decided that quotes were no longer an instruction to ignore pages without the exact sequence of characters that were between those quotes, but instead a tag indicating that the part of the search in quotes couldn't be silently discarded as if you hadn't typed it.

I've always suspected that this was actually a way to reduce their database size and simplify calculations (i.e. reduce costs and response time) rather than a way to make non-expert searches more forgiving. Non-experts weren't using quotes, and when they were, they meant them to be literal.

> I also wish Google would detect when one page and another page are just the same content with different wrappers.

I've never quite understood this. I consider it an abdication from even the attempt to be a useful, complete search engine, and the indication of a change in company direction.

Incidentally, DDG (my SE of choice) isn't much better at this stuff. Lots of repetitive listings of the same copy as top listings, and I think it stems quoted stuff. I'm forgiving because I think most of its results are derived from the results of larger indexes that adopted google's style.
