If Apple can create this magic with ARM, I wonder what they can achieve using RISC-V.
No, it says "Sold in the last year". That implies laptops sold in 2020. I agree, without quantifying anything it's just marketing.

More interestingly, will there be any software available I'll want to run? Running iPhone and iPad apps on a MacBook probably won't be very satisfying.
DASH isn't driven by greed really, it simply allows flexibly and seamlessly switching audio and video streams to vary quality. You can change resolution, and it still plays things continuously for you.

But it makes it hard to download, unless you stitch all that on the receiving end, something that youtube-dl does.

Greed and etc. were already piled on top of that with DRM, obfuscation and the like.
I think those are all really great ideas for new inventions, some of which might eventually replace firearms. But I still think firearms are basically topped out. Anything else done to them complicates them more than it improves them.
Why? Do we have any reason to think YouTube is unhappy about youtube-dl?
Yes, that's a great point.
I was trying to load a workout video, and it worked on my phone but I wanted to cast it to my TV. I turned off/on my router and Wi-Fi, reset chromecast, restart the phone, restarted the laptop. I was about to just try to do it from my laptop, did a quick survey of the home network, and then the TV started working again. Haha my workout was delayed about 20 or 30 minutes

If the interpretation is correct, there can indeed be limited interactions between them, or else quantum computing couldn't speed up certain algorithms, so they can indeed have already been observed, but we can't prove it wasn't just through something explained by another interpretation.
To me, the jury is very much still out on push. It's entirely in-determinate how useful it is, because only a handful of people have stepped up to try. There is a lot of trickery to getting the server to determine what resources to push, that it knows the client needs, but basics like "let's look at the main pages etag to figure it out" got very little experimentation & tries, certainly very few documented.

> Chrome currently supports handling push streams over HTTP/2 and gQUIC, and this intent is about removing support over both protocols. Chrome does not support push over HTTP/3 and adding support is not on the roadmap.

I am shocked & terrified that google would consider not supporting a sizable chunk of HTTP in their user-agent. I understand that uptake has been slow. That this is not popular. But I do not see support as optional. This practice, of picking & choosing what to implement of our core standards, of deciding to drop core features that were by concensus agreed upon- because 5 years have passed & we're not sure yet how to use it well yet- is something I bow my head to & just hope, hope we can keep on through.

As a side note, Pixel owners will still be able to upload high-quality (not original) photos for free after June 1st without those images counting against their cap. It’s not as good as the Pixel’s original deal of getting unlimited original quality, but it’s a small bonus for the few people who buy Google’s devices.

We could also drop it to the bottom of the ocean, as we did for decades. Any spillage will dilute heavily (there's already plenty of radioisotopes in seawater), and it will take quite a while until geological processes get the bottom of the ocean to surface.

Of course, we don't do that anymore, because it's stupid: nuclear waste is too valuable to just dispose of it like that.

The other issue that you run into is that there are going to be a multitude of projects that are going to attempt this exact thing, which makes it a little tacky to just be the single person who's also running it as a live domain.

Just lifting the name of a product you're cloning to register a .clone TLD is simple, but it also inherently means that no one else can, and that's sort of problematic in the face of shipping something you're explicitly describing as a copy.
Yeah, I agree it was lazy of me define "worse is better" the way I did, I think they're 2 separate thoughts, but I still think TypeScript uses the "worse is better" approach to design, in the sense that C used it.

My usage of "worse is better" means "worse is more marketable, and easier to implement", as opposed to actually being better when adopted. The original use of "worse is better" was not advocating for it as a design style in the general case, but commenting on the survival and adoption characteristics of systems designed in this style, as well as that it's often a good approach in the beginning of a project.

TypeScript makes a simple promise, add types to your existing code base using an easy to understand structural type system, and it works on top of JS, just as C was designed as simple layer on top of Assembler.

If C ("Worse is Better") is now being disrupted by Rust ("The Right Thing"), I think we'll see a similar player for JS / TypeScript.

If you're in a position where you can decide what stack a large swath of developers are going to use, you should perhaps keep an eye open to JS / TypeScript alternatives with growing ecosystems. Your choice could turn into a competitive advantage, even if it means a smaller community in the beginning.
Humans on Earth are analogous to bacteria in a petri dish, subject to the same limits on resources and unlimited growth.

https://www.thoughtco.com/bacterial-growth-curve-phases-4172...

Yes we can go ahead blindly, and destroy our living space and therefore our viable numbers. Or, we can control our growth, and bring it back to sustainable levels.

If we destroy our environment (pollution, climate change, overfishing, etc), it will hold less people sustainably than if we don't destroy our environment and reduce our numbers voluntarily to those current sustainable levels.

But, as I indicated above, humans are incapable of acting in their own best interests and it will happen forcibly by Nature and not to our liking.
Samsung gallery also has same features but it works only on the photos stored on the phone. A big plus with Google photos is that it operates on my entire collection even when I clean pics up from my phone.

I've been an SRE before, and have kids. I don't think there's any real expectation that a baby monitor is a reliable alerting system that can be depended on. There are definitely people in the thread who believe that's the case, and it also looks like some products are built to those high standards, it's not legally required, and I don't think it's even desirable.

I don't hold the people who care for my children to the standards that you would hold a video camera (IE, they're allowed to go to the bathroom with the door closed without alerting) so I can't see why I would expect it of the technology that approximated it.
And I think it's safe to assume that is in the works for the iMac Pro and Mac Pro, it's just a question of when it will see the light of day.
I don't even know anyone who uses a baby monitor. I think we can get by. If someone relies on one to the exclusion of actually checking on their child from time to time, the failure of the monitor is probably the least of risks.
They were just as thin and upgradable as the other PowerBooks/MacBook Pros.
This is a real shame, I think, because the same things that made Ruby and its community such a revelation in the early years of this century (as a sort of revolt against enterprise development and especially the Java ecosystem), make me quite like Nim in a world with the complexity of C++ and the restraints of Rust. To be clear I happen to like all these languages but I also value their many contrasting personalities.

I learned basically nothing from this book. Maybe if I were a new programmer it would have helped but as an experienced programmer I found its pedagogy too distracting to learn anything. But Ruby is easy to learn and fun to use. The headline about it is that code can be executed in a class definition. If that's not broadcast right at the beginning, it'll take a long time to learn what's going on in Rails.

1.5x single-core perf.

Anandtech on the memory-affinity of GeekBench vs SPEC:

> There’s been a lot of criticism about more common benchmark suites such as GeekBench, but frankly I've found these concerns or arguments to be quite unfounded. The only factual differences between workloads in SPEC and workloads in GB5 is that the latter has less outlier tests which are memory-heavy, meaning it’s more of a CPU benchmark whereas SPEC has more tendency towards CPU+DRAM.

Running virtual machines seems to be a work in progress, and docker on mac requires a virtual machine.

Most other popular software should work fine using the emulation, and it's probably not very difficult to recompile most software for running natively.

They quote a study by Akamai, a CDN company. Of course, if you run a CDN then you don't like products that help reduce latency when you don't have a CDN...

Server push is most useful in cases where latency is high, i.e. server and client are at different ends of the globe. It helps reduce round trips needed to load a website. Any good CDN has nodes at most important locations so the latency to the server will be low. Thus server push won't be as helpful.

I posted a few days back that I was putting together one of these, very similar to the one described in that story.

The e-ink screen I was waiting for (this one: https://www.waveshare.com/6inch-e-paper-hat.htm) arrived literally days after I posted that comment, about a month earlier than expected, and I now mostly have an initial version of the project working.

Some comments: A nice 6” screen for $70ish is a pretty great deal, although I’ll confess that I’m thinking about upgrading to their similar 9.7” screen, which is about double the price.

A full frame update takes about half a second (but the whole screen does flash white during it, so it definitely draws the eye if you have it anywhere in your eyeline when the frame update happens. In theory the display supports partial updates, but I’m not sure it supports them in greyscale display modes; I haven’t investigated that yet)

One gotcha which I hadn’t planned for is that even when fully blank, the display isn’t really white. I’d say that it’s maybe a 30% grey, so the movie frame can often appear to just be a big black rectangle, unless the room lighting is really good. And if you’re framing the display with a white mat around it (as I did), then that’s just going to make it look even darker again. I think I’m going to have to cut a new mat from a darker material. And in the meantime, I’m boosting brightness and contrast of each extracted frame before converting to greyscale, and that’s helped a lot. (In the medium story, Bryan is using a 3D printed frame in black without a mat, which strongly mitigates the contrast issue)

Another gotcha I ran into is that the frame I bought to put the project in (an Ikea Hovsta) turns out not to be deep enough to house a pi + the hat which controls it, so I’m probably going to need to buy a deeper frame (right now I have the pi hanging out the back while the frame sits on my desk). You might be able to squeeze everything into the frame if you used a RPi Zero and wired the connections individually, instead of connecting via the HAT.. but I’m not sure whether an RPi Zero will be able to keep up with decoding a HD video stream and dithering and displaying frames even at a 2.5 minutes/frame speed. (I haven’t tested at all; it might be totally fine!)

The Dell XPS with a i7-1165G7 processor has a base price $1,499. This includes a 512GB SSD so compares to the Macbook Air's $1,199 price with the same SSD. With that Macbook Air configuration, you also get a higher resolution screen.
Why did you pay a fortune for 32GB RAM, a larger screen, and a dGPU if you don't need it? You could have bought a 13" MBP and saved enough cash to get the new Air and now have 2 laptops.

> In which case, would the page, in fact, be served from the client-side cache, or would you just get nothing?

IIRC, some of the browsers, in "offline mode", would actually serve pages from the local cache, not even attempting to fetch them from the remote server. If you attempted to navigate to a page that hadn't been cached, you got an error of some kind.

This sounds nefarious, but for all we know you're talking about the people in the To line.
Our product has an asynchronous scheduler that runs various types of “Jobs”. (This is all for a PHP-FPM based server)

We have “RemoteJob”a that run entirely on a separate server. The name of the job, and a message (including information about how to run the job) are passed the remote queue which will schedule the job based on priority and availability. Ideal for sending emails, making requests to external services, processing web hooks, updating records in the search engine, bulk deletion, etc.

We have “LocalJob” that run in the same process but are deferred until after the response to the client is finished sending. These can be used for simple things like preparing a payload for a remote job, small bulk deletion operations, sending in app notification to a large pool of users, etc.

Additionally we have a “CallbackJob” that may schedule out a bit of work and callback an API endpoint in the app when there is load available, either to return the value of the job or to trigger additional processing. Our current use essentially been to come back the app when load is available to recalculate some expensive cached values.
