> That said, you CAN still have Ableton's plugins displayed in the manner you prefer. It's a hidden feature that's not documented. Pretty easy to setup, but not discoverable. It's an option that they developed but decided not to include in the final version. Here's a tutorial: sonicbloom.net/en/ableton-live-insider-tips-options-txt-part-1/

I've specifically noted above, expecting this reply: "I'm aware of the Options.txt hack which is unreliable and I'm not even sure it works with the latest Live 10". It does NOT work properly and it's unsupported/unmaintained. You get misaligned circles, up to 4 per channel, instead of plugin names, because redraw logic is broken.

> Having all instruments and plugins in a horizontally-oriented trough allows quick drag-and-drop rearrangement.

That's true in most DAWs. E.g. in Logic, you just drag plugins around, either in the channel strip which would be always open for a given channel, but ALSO in the mixer view. Try dragging plugins across channels in Live and see how that goes for you.

> It allows you to reach the knobs on their native instruments and plugins without the need to open/close plugin windows firs

Same in Bitwig. In Logic, you can't but instead you can e.g. see all (native) EQ curves for all channels simultaneously in the mixer view and access it without having to select the track first.

> MIDI mapping becomes much quicker and intuitive when you can simply toggle the MIDI/Keyboard mapping overlay for a given plugin.

Same in Bitwig. In Logic it's a few clicks instead of one but the idea is the same.

> Being able to nest plugins within them like macros and then quickly hide or reveal a dozen plugins within a single rack is great for declutterring an otherwise busy interface.

True. But that comes at a price of those chains and effects being even LESS discoverable when it comes to mixing. Since now a particular plugin may be buried deep two layers down in a rack of racks.
In the showroom The Frame looks indeed quite good, but I'd be worried about how it looks in less optimized spaces (i.e. dimly, unevenly lit). And they reserve the "Art mode" adjustments to their specific app for it, so you're very limited in using it for your own content.

I've run a homelab for years. My current setup is: Two HP Proliant tower servers with twin Xeons and 32Gb RAM with about 4Tb of storage. They run Windows Hyper-V Server, and are always running 10+ VMs, both Linux and Windows. I run AD, Exchange, SQL, Web, plus various Debian installs doing specific stuff. One of the servers is dedicated to lab work with regard to my actual job.

I buy the hardware on eBay as refurbished - something that's ~4 years old can be had for under £500 and is always very capable. When I started out, I self-built the VM server out of consumer parts, but due to the 24/7 usage, had endless problems, so I switched to enterprise kit. They perform faster and have better specs for the price if you buy them secondhand. Most enterprise servers on eBay come with quad port NICs as standard. If you are lucky you'll get iLO or iDRAC included as well. They are bit noisy, but they live in my garage, so I don't hear them.

Currently one of my servers has some sort of memory fault causing it to reboot every 6 weeks or so. With consumer kit, you'd be dead in the water, but on boot it just disables that DIMM and carries on with slightly less memory. I need to fix it... but time.

In short, I would always recommend an enterprise server over self-build for homelab. you want it to be reliable and not have to worry about it.
Yes, M1 is not just a chip, is a magical piece of the rib of steve jobs himself. I agree though its not an ASIC even though it have ASIC things inside of it, just like any other modern processor.

It is much more complete SoC then other procs which makes its performance even more impressive if this indications hold up, I am still very skeptical, nothing comes for free and the real world is a b

Hm, a good VM is one you don't even notice. Say you run Qubes. Not necessarily for development (I would argue Nix is the best OS for DevOps). If all goes well, such an OS becomes very adequate for an average user. For example, a hardware VM could allow you to run a browser more secure.

Handsoaped.com plans to cut costs for hotels with a subscrition box of soap
It is called “Soaped-box”, and it’s the world’s largest subscription box!

Currently, there are only 4 approved merchants selling on handsoaped.com, yet the CEO has already planned the largest subscription box of all time.
Of course an individual can order the small soapedbox, and receive 14 1oz bars of the best selling recipes from 14 different makers, each and every month!

That will cost an individual just 19.99, and they will love each and every bar of soap!

However, there is a much larger option. The user can choose to go big, so to speak. The large box is targeted at boutique hotels with at least 100 rooms. Here they can automate their soaps and lotion ordering with one easy to use subscription box.

Your welcome hospitality industry!

Each large soapedbox contains the most popular recipe of every store on handsoaped.com. This means you are getting a huge “sample“ box, which drastically cuts the cost.

The hotel manager can easily choose their ammount per month, and they are off to the races!

This is actually quite game changing for young properties that are struggling to make ends meat in this pandemic climate. With Soapedbox, hotels are able to automate their shopping and save money while doing it.

Of course this is all pitching, because we only have 4 approved merchants. But go check it out!
> desktop CPUs have better single-threaded performance than server CPUs, and that matters for a lot of applications, including running VMs I imagine.

For home lab situations, where almost everything is idle all the time then you're probably right.

But when you're working with lots of active VM's on hosts, the overall CPU throughput (more cores, hopefully fairly high clocks speeds) is important.

Just to re-iterate, the article author made the choice of "more cores" over "higher clock speed" for their situation already, and their build shows that. :)
Sounds like a nightmare.

Is latency an issue? Applications that are only used within an organisation or within a company of a local region, where Latency wont be an issue. I am wondering if say your App is hosted in US while the user is in Singapore or Japan, what the experience will be like when you have an RTT of ~200ms.

Otherwise I really like the idea of LiveView / LiveWire / StimulusReflex, cant wait to see it mainstream.
The MBP16 actually can do 4 displays if they're only 4k displays. It's why I bought one over a MBP13 which can only do 2.

The two limit seems to be for 6016x3384 which I assume is 5k.
ASIC stands for application specific, and since thei IC is application specific - used only in certain hardware along certain software, it's kind of correct to call it ASIC.

We just matched a friend of mine from New England with a friend of my wife from Mexico. He is a great guy but he had already given up on dating. And it was actually the girl who asked if we knew someone. But most people will not ask their friends.

> internet connectivity does not matter

I load my tunes on a USB stick and play them in the car. Never worry about connectivity, outages, or data plans. And it remembers where it left off when I turn the key on again.

I tried playing my phone through the AUX port, but nobody has yet made a mini audio jack that has a solid connection (always gotta wiggle it or turn it, like a cheap potenciometer).
It depends on who you are sharing with and the context.

I could setup a server with my music collection and give access to my friends. That is fair-use.
>M1 is not magic and can't break the laws of physics.

Anandtech's deep dive provides several examples of advances in Apple's core design that didn't involve magic or breaking the laws of physics. For example...

Instruction Decode:

>What really defines Apple’s Firestorm CPU core from other designs in the industry is just the sheer width of the microarchitecture. Featuring an 8-wide decode block, Apple’s Firestorm is by far the current widest commercialized design in the industry. Other contemporary designs such as AMD’s Zen(1 through 3) and Intel’s µarch’s, x86 CPUs today still only feature a 4-wide decoder designs

Instruction Re-order Buffer Size:

>A +-630 deep ROB is an immensely huge out-of-order window for Apple’s new core, as it vastly outclasses any other design in the industry. Intel’s Sunny Cove and Willow Cove cores are the second-most “deep” OOO designs out there with a 352 ROB structure, while AMD’s newest Zen3 core makes due with 256 entries, and recent Arm designs such as the Cortex-X1 feature a 224 structure.

Number of Execution Units:

>On the Integer side, we find at least 7 execution ports for actual arithmetic operations. These include 4 simple ALUs capable of ADD instructions, 2 complex units which feature also MUL (multiply) capabilities, and what appears to be a dedicated integer division unit.

On the floating point and vector execution side of things, the new Firestorm cores are actually more impressive as they a 33% increase in capabilities, enabled by Apple’s addition of a fourth execution pipeline.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16226/apple-silicon-m1-a14-de...
I think those number are peak performance and not necessarily sustained performance, but I don’t know enough about geekbench to be 100% sure.

The pro and the mini have fans so they should be able to maintain these speeds for longer than the air which will presumably have to throttle down as it heats up.
This is great! I used to run a Subsonic server for myself but it kind of fell apart because the licensing in version 6 kind of broke the community around it.

But it looks like this supports the same Subsonic protocol, which is pretty great. It's cool to not only take inspiration from predecessors but to also support and build on the same ecosystem.
With flexible silicon, we probably can build a NAS/Server-Ring with all the Movies and Photos aka Memories shared between the two rings ;)
I find this utterly ridiculous. It sounds like it's rooted in old-school management trying to carrot/stick employees back into the office.
They don't provide, those are all third party packages.
>that doesn't fit their views, whatever that may be.

Their "view" is that sexual harassment is not something they want on their platform.
All of that is true, however it is notable that the models they replaced (are not selling anymore) are all the lower end models. The two port MacBook Pro, the Air, only the lower end mini.

Seems pretty obvious to me that there will be another more higher end variant of the M1, though maybe the only difference will be the amount of RAM, the number of GPU cores, the number of supported USB4 ports or something like that, not raw CPU performance.

Either way, it seems obvious to me that the M1 is their low end Mac chip.

That will be interesting to watch.

Same here. I have never been in the friend zone. But I have been rejected many times.
Maybe Geekbench is kinda useless as a benchmark suite then? I only see it used by Mac fans.
Right. What youtube does to the audience is disgusting. What it does to creators is much worse.

When a channel does well, the channel owner starts thinking, he can quit his day job and go fulltime as a youtuber. They borrow money and invest huge sums in building a studio. Then, they realize that they need to post not just regularly but often. You can feel that they are getting burned out. Sometimes, there will be a post titled "life update" where they will hint at it but will soon succumb to the fact they have no way out. They have to post a rate that is worse than torture.

Sometimes, Youtube gets upset or somebody takes offense and makes a complaint. The channel suffers a steep fall in traffic. The channel owner complains but gets no response.
> undesirable features by preventing their use.

I wonder if they have published those rules, I'd like to see them as I'm just diving into TS.
AMD64 (x86-64) runs x86-32 at near-native speed, but it isn't x86-32. As someone who was an early adopter of Linux/AMD64 I know first-hand backwards compatibility is very important. Apple knows, hence Rosetta. Every time they switch architecture, they invest into backwards compatibility. As a counter-example, Itanium wasn't good with backwards compatibility.
I'm intrigued - what makes it a "red-pill experience" compared to a typical typescript setup for example?

Why do they call it Apple Silicon, when the core of the chip was designed by ARM and it was fabbed by TSMC?

Can't any other customer of ARM do the same thing, in principle?
I think it really depends on your specific circumstances, current interests, etc. There have been successful people who went through any order/combination of your three options.

There have been highly successful founders who dropped out of university, others who became founders after doing PhDs, someone like Martin Kleppmann who became an academic after selling a few successful businesses, etc.

I'd suggest doing whichever of three peaks your interest most at this stage.

With such inflated prices and a lack of resell channels, you'd think the diamond market would be great for a healthy second-hand market. Why is there none yet?

But it's still better not to buy into the scam in the first place.

There is no offense to be taken and I am quite disappointed by the aggressive reactions. This argument is pointless.

The entire concept of science is to extrapolate because things are impossible to verify. The Big Bang makes predictions that repeatedly are shown to be correct through experimentation.
Server Push has a use case for web APIs. I just published a benchmark showing that under certain conditions APIs using Server Push (such as APIs implementing the https://vulcain.rocks specification) can be 4x times faster than APIs generating compound documents (GraphQL-like): https://github.com/dunglas/api-parallelism-benchmark

They key point for performance is to send relations in parallel in separate HTTP streams.
Even without Server Push Vulcain-like APIs are still faster than APIs relying on compound documents thanks to Preload links and to HTTP/2 / HTTP/3 multiplexing.

Using Preload links also fixes the over-pushing problem (pushing a relation already in a server-side or client-side cache), some limitations regarding authorization (by default most servers don't propagate the Authorization HTTP header nor cookies in the push request), and and is easier to implement.

(By the way Preload links were supported from day 1 by the Vulcain Gateway Server.)

However, using Preload links introduce a bit more latency than using Server Push. Does the theoretical performance gain is worth the added complexity? To be honest I don't know. I guess it doesn't.

Using Preload links combined with Early Hints (the 103 status code - RFC 8297) may totally remove the need for Server Push. And Early Hints are way easier than Server Push to implement (it's even possible in PHP!).

Unfortunately browsers don't support Early Hints yet.

- Chrome bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=671310

- Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1407355

For the API use case, it would be nice that Blink adds support of Early Hints before killing Server Push!

I'm really skeptical about this, especially because:

The study found that the relationship between mental illness and COVID is actually bidirectional: people with psychiatric diagnosis were about 65% more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than people without.

... and the study's authors admit they have no explanation for this. Either somebody is seriously claiming that mental disorders cause COVID-19 or else the study data very clearly have a serious correlation/causation flaw.

>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.

What I've found is that senior developers with 10+ years of experience with many different paradigms and projects tend to enjoy JavaScript and many hate TypeScript (particularly because of the build step and complexity that it brings).
But for some reason Microsoft is running a lot of propaganda campaigns to promote TypeScript. My guess is that they're trying to push all the JS devs to TS and then once they have enough adoption, they can slowly start diverging from JS standards and take ownership of the ecosystem - This is an old Microsoft trick.
