having read this free piece and a number previously posted here, the analyses tend to be fairly average in comparison to mba-level work. perhaps you can enlighten me—who pays, and why? who has interest but also doesn’t otherwise have access to mba-level analyses or analytical tools?

a solid position, line of reasoning, or conclusion is difficult to draw from this article. he seems to want badly to say something, anything, insightful about apple’s new silicon to not miss the short window of opportunity afforded by the recent announcement. but what did he say other than repeat some numbers from anandtech and sidetrack onto sketch vs figma?

apple‘s strategy isn’t new or surprising, and this chip is one (comparatively small) part of jobs’ original vision of ubiquitous consumer computing, with apple at the center of it. the switch to arm isn’t even a strategic surprise. they wanted ever smaller and more powerful chips (which intel could have owned but f-ed up) to drive that ubiquitousness and be at the profitable forefront of it (that’s also why they’re so obsessed with thinness). apple has always wanted to own consumer computing. that’s it. that strategy is not that hard to make sense of. but somehow this article badly flubs that low hurdle.
Someone here posted when the M1 powered Macs launched that they're essentially ASICs now and that made me do a double take. Since you cannot change the operating systems anymore, aren't these essentially ASICs?

Well, sure. But most multi-vitamins are crap anyway. They just don't contain enough active ingredients to make any difference, particularly minerals. The forms they contain are usually whatever is cheap, and is poorly absorbed. How do you effectively mix fat soluble and water soluble vitamins in the same pill? Therapeutic doses are much higher than anything you are going to get in a multi

Why should the BBC mince words to help the cause? This is referring to construction, not operation. But a critical mind will obviously come to the conclusion that a higher number of reactors in operation will also increase the risk of failures during operation, unless the risk per reactor is reduced at the same time. And since all big accidents were 'exceptional' in some sense anyway, more 'moving parts' mean more chance for exceptional circumstances. There is no need to hide that fact.

The reason small reactors are in fashion is that (like renewables) they decrease the risk for investors, not the population at large.
I don't disagree that it stagnated, but what kept me on it was the ability to seamlessly blend my own library with GPM's. Now that I've had to switch to Spotify I need to use a separate app for my own library and I hate it.

This exactly. My baby bro was a preemie with potential heart issues (he grew up fine), but he had a proper heart monitor connected with sticky leads 24x7 for the couple of months. It had a really loud siren and decent battery built in.

When you actually need health monitoring, you don't trust a baby monitor.

Joplin, obsidian, etc. and other open source note systems I've used all suffer from the same problem: bad writing experience.

I can't be the only one who believes this...writing in a 2 panel markdown+preview side-by-side view is just horrible and backwards.

And I like the idea of markdown! Of course I want the ability to export to markdown for portability to the web. But for the love of god, don't make me surround my words in 4 character markup to make them bold, and then show me a second panel next to it so I can "preview" what bold looks like. Didn't we already solve this with 1980s word processors?

Hell, why don't we create a 3 panel writing view? On the left you can write in binary, in the middle you can see live base64, and on the right you can preview what it will look like to actual humans. Awesome!

The only good implementation of writing in markdown I've seen is Typora or Bear, which abstracts/fades away the markup after you type in a single view.

Notion also solves this by only allowing you to select from semantic HTML styles (ie. H1, H2, H3, etc) but you see what the final text will look like in one view. When you export, generating markdown is trivial since you're already using a markdown-esque set of options to style your text.
Right? Why are so many people willing to be used by agents of corporate media in their hunt for more loot? Own your media, own your future!
I miss OKCupid's blog. A couple of critiques though:

1. Objectives. The article might be correct if your objective is marriage. If your objective is to schedule as much low-effort sex as possible, or even just juggling multiple long-term relationships, especially if you operate over a wide geographic area......expanding your search online is invaluable. Treat paid sites as just another tool in your harem management toolbox.

2. Stale profiles. This is why I really liked the $COUNTRYNAME_Cupid websites. They take more effort to put a profile together, AND they have a "last logged in" feature, so when you do a profile search "No smokers, no kids, etc..." you don't have to worry about messaging people who haven't touched the site in 9 months, and it's easy to ignore blank profiles. Also, typically women with free accounts will "poke" you or view your profile, and that webpage listing those women is where you start your screening.
This is salient, and almost upsetting frankly as I (and others?) have been looking for a 'way off' the platform after years of grievance. This is might just be good enough to keep their core platform value in place. It's a shrewd move in their part, it's been a while since we've seen this level of core innovation on their non-iOS offers.
Uh... you should report that.
> Just use the resolution that's configured: if I wanted to change it I'd change it.

So you're saying you'd want to change desktop resolution each time you want to play a performance heavy game?

> Non-native resolutions look awful on LCDs anyway, so apps really shouldn't change it.

So you're saying developers should take away the options that people actively use because you subjectively don't like how it looks on your specific monitor?
> The only feature that really separated it from others was letting you upload your music.

Weirdly, Amazon's online music service started out with this functionality, and eventually removed it.
yep, "mousehole". it was used to effectively add a hidden comment section to random pages.
The same way men deal with it every day of their lives dating in the real-world? It sucks. We power through it, pick ourselves up, and keep fighting. Some of my buddies have triple-digit notch counts....and they still get rejected (although it's rare enough that it becomes a subject of conversation). It's just a part of The Game for men. Lesbian Norah Vincent spent a year living as a man and practically had a mental breakdown (timestamp is where they discuss cold-approach dating and rejection): https://youtu.be/Ip7kP_dd6LU?t=563

A lot of it boils down to mental framing. In other words, think of yourself as providing an opportunity for someone to participate in something great. If they don't take advantage of that opportunity, that's their loss not yours. One of the best quotes is from Patrice O'Neal: "You MUST believe in your own righteousness."
Having worked at Apple Retail and an enterprise Apple SME, you never buy v1 of a major redesign. Either physical or internal.

Original v1 Intel portable pro machines had a nasty kernel panic when connecting to Cisco APs in 2006. Since startups were starting to adopt Apple, this caused problems where I worked.

New keyboard key mechanisms a few years ago that Apple had to switch to something that wasn’t prone to fail as often.

I’m sure these first few v1 of Apple devices adopting M1 will have limitations that are dealbreakers for existing customers. I recommend holding out for M2 (or whatever their numbering scheme is) before they determine fixes for what customers want. Besides, I expect a ton of hardware gotchas will be posted on Twitter and blogs after these M1 devices hit consumer and business hands. Then there’s something new to talk about with Apple.

I like YouTube for finding new music, and the chance of finding concerts that I attended with a hundred other people 15 years ago. The rest of the time I like listening to entire albums at a time. It was nice to get both with one subscription. Also, though it isn't relevant in 2020, Google Play Music had a better listing of upcoming nearby performances than I was aware of anywhere else.

I think it is irresistible for a dating app to not milk on human vulnerability and emotions.

Look at Tinder, the paid plans started out with features like changing location, unlimited likes, more superlikes etc. All of these seem fair as they don't necessarily disadvantage you if you are not paying, your rank in recommended profiles more or less remains the same.

I recently saw that Tinder introduced one more tier now where even your likes are boosted if you are in the paid plan. This would make the app kind of useless for anyone who is not paying and is not hot enough to be ranked at top.

Sidenote: I wonder why OkCupid deleted their old posts. I loved posts like these and others like Race and reply rate. If it was because of not wanting to offend someone, it is even worse that we are pushing things like these under the rug.

It’s not crazy talk, but it’s understandably hard to believe or follow. You being downvoted so hard is disheartening. Still, as we speak, civilization is undergoing a massive shift towards renewable energy and sustainable policies. Our capitalist world order is so stable some people (who were admittedly wrong) called it “the end of history”. Topics like cutting working hours are more common I think. And the birth rate is halving itself. Just some thoughts. The strong, dire language of these articles makes it sound like a done deal anyway.
Ethernet ≠ Internet
Hi! Thanks so much for your comment! Could you expand a bit on what you'd like with A/B testing?

All of the values can be fetched across projects / clients, it's essentially a simple K:V store with broad libraries. For example, if you have a key "price" whose value is a number "100", you can call:

configly.get(price)

from all your clients (provided they are all using the same API KEY).

Today, clients download at the granularity of an entire key-value. So if you changed that price to "150", it'd fetch the entirety of "150" and not just the digit flip. Were you envisioning a case of storing a lot of data?

Today, our free service is capped at 100kb total. Was there a use case you had in mind?
I'll give you my personal experience.

I miss using my Mac day-to-day since I started using Linux day-to-day at work. I still have a MacBook Pro, but I barely use it any more as I've tried to limit the amount of time on a computer outside of working hours.

I use Linux Mint with Cinnamon and for the most part, there is a lot of similarity. I use Guake for my drop down terminal like I have with iTerm2 and I use Chrome as my browser just because I've never bothered to transfer my stuff to Firefox.

But I do miss Safari. I truly find it better and faster. I use Bitwarden for password management and it works for both.

But for the most part, they are the same experiences. The true miss is the hardware, the battery life and the keyboard comfort of the MacBook.

I'm on my MacBook now and I get 8 plus hours on a single charge, I can type comfortable on a couch for hours and the trackpad just works perfectly so I never yearn for a mouse.

For work I have a ThinkPad P52 and the Linux support is lacking. Poor Power management allows me to get maybe 3-4 hours of battery, the trackpad sucks and needs a hack to work after kernel 5.4.26 for some reason, sound works but not well and the Nvidia driver sucks (official) glitches all over the place and waking from sleep requires a log out and log in to fix artifacts.

But in all honestly, I'm not sure what I would miss of linux if I only had a MacBook again. There just isn't anything I can do on Linux that I can't do on Mac, but there is plenty I can't do with Linux that I can with a Mac, simple things like airdrop and copy-paste sync with my iPhone, text messages on my laptop. I'm sure if I had an android I might regain some of those things, but it's just all so seamless on Mac OOTB.

I use docker and an Ubuntu image when I need linux to test things. Brew gives me access to almost every linux app I can think of and there is just a better amount of top quality paid and free app on the Mac in comparison to Linux.

Anyway, not sure any of that helps, but that's my 2 cents.
You mean how to downgrade? There are guides out there. Apple released certain unsigned versions of iOS that you can install on old hardware.
> Not much of it actually helps me.

Neither do TV or movies for the most part; there are many examples of high art in those formats but the most popular examples thereof are hardly at all intellectually gratifying, educational, or otherwise "helpful", as you put it (a good descriptor). It's entertainment - it's there for fun, and in many cases, it's there for the sake of art. (That's not to say that e.g. popcorn flicks don't have any artistic qualities, just that they're aiming for the former, not the latter.) The issue is more in the ways that YouTube tries to keep you watching, like the other massive social media sites.

No one else, ever, has had a platform where an independent video creator could start with a handful of viewers and build up to millions, and even potentially make a career out of it. No, it's not common, there's a ton of work involved with no immediate payout, and it requires at least a bit of luck with the dreaded "algorithm", but it's probably more merit-based than what we had before, and that's a wonderful thing.

(I'm not entirely certain about that last bit, hence "probably". How merit-based was/is TV and film, precisely? I just find it hard to believe that they're better than YouTube, given the quantity of quality creators on it who could never find a slot, much less an audience, on any other platform or format that has ever been.)

With regard to the ubiquity: given the lack of competitors, apparently the capital requirements are so high and the lock-in effects so strong that there aren't any companies willing to give it a go. The closest thing we have, Twitch, filled a niche that YouTube wasn't technically capable of at the time, grew large enough before YouTube decided to try to enter that market so Twitch was able to acquire those same lock-in effects, and was bought by Amazon who provides the capital to ensure a smooth experience (Twitch prior to the acquisition was far more prone to performance issues).
I liked videos on "iSongs" youtube channel and wanted to play with GarageBand to try some ideas without full-blown DAW. I am just starting and looking for what works for me.
This is thought experiment stuff, way out in the future. We would already be doing it on Earth at that point if there was a reason to.
I'm trying to use Google Photos but find it hard to manage albums. Like I have a few thousand photos, I want to find all the ones that I didn't assign to albums yet. Doesn't seem like there's a way to do so.

I also want to press one shortcut key to put a photo into a certain album and at the same time archive it. As it is, it takes several buttons and a mouse selection and a mouse click (with some delay in between), which is super painful when you have to repeat it thousands of times.

Edit: Hmm, I saw there's Google Photos API. If it's easy(ish) to use, could I possibly write some small python or JS scripts to get this functionality? Or is there a reason this isn't as simple as it sounds?
Probably at least 200 watts, depending on storage.
The core protocol uses HTTP/2 as a transport, yes, but you'd have to convert the conceptual gRPC request to the protobuf-encoded version and somehow pass that to the HTTP/2 endpoint as a binary blob, then decode/match the binary blob you get back - which none of the status pingers really offer either.

(You could use `gRPC-web` to make JSON-encoded requests but you need specific support on the server end for that.)
If you like Make Pop Music, but house/EDM is more your thing, EDM Tips (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2vitamJHo7kSiiuA598u-g) YouTube channel is pretty similar to the Make Pop Music one. They both even have playlists for "Making a song in the style of [Some Famous Artists]".

EDM Tips is far less in-depth, but it's also more Ableton focused and he almost strictly used default Ableton plugins and sounds.
Well I mean yes, that's what we are doing right now because they are unrelated

> that’s not a lot of time.

That’s an extreme amount of time… GMail and Outlook are both horribly slow and I can’t understand how anyone wants to use them. Outlook even manages to be slow with their desktop app. Not as slow as either web app, but still a noticeable delay.

Fastmail at least is true to it’s name and fast.
More the Mac mini, which had built in 10G as an option in prior generations.

For laptops, you can use an external dongle. It has its uses, like for a NAS on a 10G network for video or other data-intense work.
My dad is in his 70s and had all his music in Google Music. It was great for him. Now he doesn't know what to do.

It's death by a thousand cuts for Google at this rate.
Well, the older Mini that the M1 Mini replaces has 10Gb Ethernet. That being said, there's no modern MacBook that has 10Gb Ethernet anyways. Cannot that port be added over Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 based dongle?
Not exactly.

You can check the clock speeds: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4620493.gb5

Up to 5050MHz is stock behavior for the 5950X and it's using standard DDR4 3200 memory.

Expecting them to not only exempt you from paying for your previously uploaded photos, but to also allow you to continue to upload photos for free indefinitely seems unreasonable to me. That's not what I'd expect from being grandfathered in.
Is this just your OS's / the X windowing system's middle click paste functionality, or is this something that Notion itself does? I've never run into this before.
This is the beta product. It’ll be buggy.

Doubtful. You know they've been using ARM-based Macs with the requisite version of macOS for at least a year inside of Apple.

They've done a processor transition two other times; unlike the last two times, this time Apple controls the entire stack, which wasn't the case going from 68K to PowerPC or from PowerPC to Intel.

Apple has been designing their own processors for a decade now. There's nothing in the smartphone/tablet market that even comes close to the performance of the A series in the iPhone and iPad; there's no reason to believe this will be any different.
I imagine a custom client would be a solution , albeit a bit involved.
Someone may be into you but have different norms and values. It’s an incredibly uncompromising and disrespectful approach (not from the PC or objectification perspective but from the perspective that you’ll “open negotiations” on your terms rather than signaling a willingness to compromise).
Whenever I read a comment that says "email is dead" I feel it is my responsibility to point out that ~it doesn't have to be this way~

The email standard(s) are great. Powerful, decentralized, and damn near universal. It's just that we live in a world where a Duopoly has taken over most of what we consider to be email.

I wonder why OkCupid deleted their old posts.

Popular theory is their acquisition by the same company that owns every other dating site on the planet had something to do with it.
> The problem is that you can’t use the 16” with an external display and the lid open without the fans spinning at full speed.

I had the same problem, when connected to a USB-C monitor I wanted to use the keyboard, but not the built in monitor. Even with the display backlight off the fan would still run. After a lot of searching I found that you can disable the built in monitor by:

- Booting into recovery mode
- Opening Terminal
- Entering `sudo nvram boot-args="niog=1"`
- Restarting
- Close the clamshell
- Plug in the external monitor
- Open the monitor

I hope that helps.
Humans aren’t very good at believing the lies they tell themselves when they’re in conflict of their true emotions, whims, or desires.

We’re also evolutionarily optimized to recalculate and reconsider almost constantly, so even if that works for you at the start, as soon as you have just one conversation that goes on a week, you’ll forget that little lie and pine for what you got a taste of. Or most people would, anyway.
Microsoft Groove (Xbox Music/Zune) essentially had this same feature. Technically, they still do - they killed off the music streaming service, but you can still upload music to your OneDrive and listen to it from any device.
I wonder how much of an advantage it is practice ?
It is one such toolkit among others, like React or Compose. It is different from making the whole OS open source.

I guess that since the benefit would be to make third party devs job easier, the incentive is not that great for apple .. devs will write mobile apps even if they have to write them in assembly.
In what respect is Apple “locking down their software hard” with respect to these new Macs?
