It's awkward. I have a 2013 rMBP which I'm very happy with.

It was bought in part to start developing OSX/iOS software while also continuing to use Linux for the majority of my work, which I now do in a VM on the Mac.

This setup works really well as an "all rounder" machine with excellent hardware.

In a couple of years time, having an x86 Mac won't make sense for developing MacOS/iOS software. Apple talks of emulating x86 on ARM for MacOS, but not the other way around.

But on the other hand, having an ARM Mac won't make sense for running x86 Linux and x86 Windows VMs. And my servers will probably still be x86.

Neither choice is good.

Weird, as anecdotes go I've always thought the signal iOS app was very polished. I just checked three of those issues (camera access, shared links, search) on an iPhone 11 Pro Max and I wasn't able to reproduce. I suspect Signal may not have a QA group large enough to test on every phone/environment.

This, and I'll expand as I have recently been down the rabbit hole.

The Nuc8 (i5 or fractionally more powerful i7) are monsters and much loved by those who get them. Their GPU is particularly powerful. The newer Nuc10 is a leap backwards in GPU power, but has 6 cores in the i7 version. This makes it an excellent ESXi host, and the factory support for 64gb of RAM helps too (though the Nuc8 will run 64, but Intel states support for just 32). The RAM is faster on the Nuc10.

For encoding, both are great as they have the same version of Quicksync and I think my Nuc10 matches the performance of the Nuc8 for transcoding video.

A downside for the Nuc10 is that that the newer nic isn't properly supported yet by VMWare, so there is shagging about to get the nic to work.

>Score goes up and down, someday I'll get that pony.

After some time, and upon realizing that the downvotimg scheme here encourages groupthink, I decided that as long as I'm offering my honest ideas in good faith, then it's probably a good indicator if my karma stays roughly where it is. Let some agree and others disagree. In fact, maybe a slight decrease over time is preferable. This means people are at least challenged and encouraged to consider their position.

Frankly, if this were a community wherein disagreement never occured, then it would be extraordinarily boring: just a bunch of people sitting around head-nodding and upvoting each other. You need a variety of opinions to keep things stimulating.

So, I find it interesting that the very thing that keeps a community engaging is actively discouraged.

Heck, for my first old 4Gb RAM Mac I installed this piece of software from app store that would consume all the memory on the system over a short time to force Mac to actually manage memory and prevent other apps from stuttering and OOMing when the memory was supposedly low (it really wasn't, as this app's overload-free-memory routine showed). It even had a paid version that would do the memory-overload automatically when memory was low. That is the most Mac thing I've ever seen :)

The great unknown is of course how the Arm based Macs will perform vs Intel models.

Thinking back to the PowerPC to Intel transition then the step up in performance per watt was enough to make the MacBook Pro a very, very clear winner - I don't think that many people were wishing they had bought a PowerPC laptop. There is clearly the potential for this to happen again.

Apple clearly doesn't want to "Osborne" its existing range, but if the gains are only marginal then the justification for the change becomes quite weak.

If you depend on x86 for Windows or for server development then buying a Intel Mac will give you what you need. For everyone else - especially buying a laptop - I would have thought that at least hanging on, if you can, would be a sensible option.
Probably once a week on average. Mostly just because I still believe it's good for the machine, not really sure about the science behind that though. 2015 MacBook Pro if it matters.
Are you seriously arguing that slavery is not abuse? Or not always? Because I have no idea how to read your opening paragraph here except that way, and you seem not to understand the core difference between it and those other terms.

Naming matters, and if you wouldn't use a racial epiphet, a term for sexual assaults or slang for genitalia to name something, then you at least have enough of an idea that it's worth not using a term which defines an active and devastating practice, as well as a historical reality that's 3 human lifetimes old and defines an entire community of people, as just another term that's totally okay.

Signal desktop "works" for me in the sense that I usually receive messages, but probably about once a day one of my conversations suddenly displays somewhere from 20 to 70 lines of "Error handling incoming message." In talking to people this doesn't seem to be in response to any actual activity by the person on the other end.

I feel like I've seen Signal problems appear and get fixed, like for a couple months the desktop client just wouldn't get half or so of the messages I received, and then one day it seemed fine again. But the long deluges of "Error handling incoming message" have been present, as far as I can tell, for the entire time that I have used Signal Desktop, perhaps 3 years. I guess I consider it a feature now. :/

That ship sailed a long time ago. More people own ARM computers than x86.

I think that for such modern retro style systems is very important to have a huge community and because of this a legacy compatible systems like ZX Spectrum Next[1] or MEGA65[2] or systems designed from persons with a huge audience like David Murray[3] are clear winners.

ESP32, TinyBasic and FabGL look cool, but it seems that there is not enough people knowing about them and wanting to develop software for/with them. Unfortunately the same can also be said for the Maximite series of machines. I wasn't able to find any dedicated FabGL or Maximite community sites.

The same cannot be said for the upper mentioned computers which apparently already have significant community and some people actively developing games and other software for them. ZX Spectrum Next even have a dedicated distribution site[4]. Commander X16's official site has community downloads section[5] which looks similar.

If someone wants only to have some fun programming a retro like machine in Basic or in C++ with FabGL, ESP32 is really a cheep alternative, but most probably what he does with it, will stay only his own personal experience and he will not have a huge chance to find some audience or community.

I'm totally confident in their ability to pull off the ARM transition, but I think the fit-and-finish will be way better in the second- and third-gen products.

For another example, many people had first-gen Macbooks that would "moo" as the fan cycled on and off across a single-degree thermal boundary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEPzlIkBnGs

It was fixed in an update to the System Management Controller to change the fan behavior / thresholds: http://www.betalogue.com/2006/08/18/macbook-smc-firmware-upd...

edit: Almost forgot the build-quality issues with the first-gen Macbook Pros where the official service manual advised you to use one entire tube of thermal compound each for the CPU and GPU which obviously lead to overheating: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid...

The year of "Linux on the Desktop" may actually be coming if enough developers want to keep Intel and apple finally drops support for x86 with their software updates (and they absolutely will at some point). Dual-booting between Linux for dev and Windows for video gaming could be a compelling use case for a lot of developers. I doubt Apple ARM systems will see much in the way of video gaming. I absolutely would go for Intel/Linux before I follow Apple down the ARM road just because they want to make more money and have more lock-in.

Great to know about these. I still think the current default is better: for a new user, it might be scary for your uncommitted changes to "vanish" into a stash.
>Yes, moving hosting may save you some bucks, but fundamentally isn't the problem the large number of freeloaders?

I find this viewpoint problematic. Are the users freeloaders, or is the product just not compelling enough to attract paying users?

Self reflection is sometimes painful but there's a reason "lack of market fit" is a common startup story. Insulting the users by calling them freeloaders, when you are overtly offering them a free service, seems self-defeating.
I zoom with my mom every week.

Her old tablet cannot upgrade to newer android version, which prevented zoom from updating, and caused zoom to refuse to work.

I bought her a new tablet. A friend set it up and was able to do a call. Everything was working. That was last week.

Today, I spent 40 minutes on the phone with her because after boot the tablet was showing a black screen.

No possibility for interaction.

Eventually, after many reboots, she noticed some kind of google security warning which instructed her to swipe up. I had to train her to swipe up over the phone.

We had the call, eventually, and I still have no idea what her tablet is asking of her.

> Once you wrap your mind around what commits, heads and remotes are and learn to rebase you get an incredibly simple and fine-grained control.

> Git is like a chef's knife: extremely powerful tool that's dangerous in untrained hands.

Although, this is all part of the problem with Git. The problem is that it exposes this fine-grained control and knife's edge to the user by default. There isn't some simpler model that people can work with.

I cut my teeth on source-code control with Perforce. Of course, Perforce has many complex features, including stuff like workspaces, which as far as I can tell, Git doesn't have something like that. Anyway, despite its complex feature set, Perforce can be explained in a few minutes. You have some code in the repository. If you want to work on it, you check it out and it gets added to a changelist. If you want exclusive change rights, you can lock it to prevent others. If you want others to see what you're working on, you can shelve your changes without submitting so that they can inspect. When you're done, you submit your changelist. All of this can be done via excellent visual tooling or the command line. I highlighted things with italics because these are the right words for the actions in how Perforce calls them. It's intuitive.

For Git, it isn't that simple. You must first explain a wide swath of concepts. I've explained Git to people, even using the GitHub Desktop app. It is very confusing and intimidating to people, and rightfully so. It confuses me, and I did some pretty advanced things with Perforce (and thus source-code control) before. And there's no default visual tooling. Git also has many names for things that are confusing. Also, Git was invented for a very specific purpose: Linux kernel development. The vast majority of development does not need the same complexity that such a niche development process needs.

When I recently wanted to do something in Git, I just could not figure it out. Probably simple for a Git expert, which is something I am not, but after searching many forum posts, I gave up because every answer was different and caveated in different ways and wasn't working for me. I installed GitKraken and solved my problem in seconds via a single right-click. Maybe I'm an idiot and I don't understand Git that well; both are likely true. But I am able to understand other complex things, so something is amiss. I think the primary issue is that Git requires me to study it just to use it in basic ways. I have an allergy to overly complex things, and so it's just a constant struggle for me. I tend to use visual tools for merging, diffing, managing commits, etc. so that I stay away from the Git CLI, which exposes the complexity in a non-usable way.

Lastly, Git is very narrow minded when it comes to things it controls. It assumes everything should be text.
I'd certainly be interested to hear how quantities where dimensions would normally divide out should be modelled and some concrete statistical examples how this really helps avoiding likely errors.
> But isn't this dead before it really lifts off?

No, because automotive is the use case driving this and consumer/professional audio will come along for the ride. Think about how you synchronize the LCDs and speakers in an SUV--Ethernet is way easier than just about any other solution.

The biggest obstacle to adoption in the consumer/prosumer space is the fact that everybody killed Ethernet ports on their laptops.

Teams is absolutely awful. I also have all the crashes, undelivered notifications, shitty UI, but whatever, that's par with Microsoft.

I have an issue where if there's any sound in my room in a meeting, it reduces the volume of someone else talking to me even if my mic is muted. My workaround is to only keep one earbud in and constantly listen for cars driving past outside so I can crank up the volume in advance. So Teams is literally painful to my ears.
This is how google docs works and this problem doesn’t come up much in practice. The reason is that usually when you’re collaboratively editing a document you do so in real-time. If we both see one another’s cursor on the same content, we pay extra attention and make sure our edits make sense.

For offline edits (eg multiple developers working on independent features in a codebase), generating merge conflicts is probably more appropriate. OT and CRDTs can be written that generate merge conflicts in cases like this - it’s an implementation detail. It’s just that most algorithms are written first and foremost with real-time collaborative editing in mind. And again, in the real-time collaborative editing case, merge conflicts aren’t what users want.

For my younger daughter, we started requesting restaurant gift cards to be donated. We gave them to the local Ronald McDonald house because she had a friend who was away from home, undergoing treatment at a special hospital in Minnesota.

I'll admit that the circumstances were quite special but it seemed like a relief from the burden of all those toys we would have had instead.

I believe you can work around the encryption ban.

eg, for the UK; “ 11(2) The Licensee shall only address Messages to other Amateurs or to the stations of those Amateurs and shall not encrypt these Messages for the purpose of rendering the Message unintelligible to other radio spectrum users.”

You can sign a message to authenticate it, without making it unintelligible. (compare pgp signing, snmp AuthNoPriv, etc)
