That is still assuming a lot of things IMO.

I’d love to see stats on these scenarios... are they common?
I agree with the sentiment here; there seems to be an impression that a baby monitor is a safety device. I'm not sure it is.

We use a baby monitor during naps and overnight. It's a good way to relay any noises and reassure us he's ok, but you can't really see enough detail on an overhead camera to see they're breathing or anything like that. It failed a few nights ago, and we woke up when we heard the crying through the couple of doors. (If we were awake, downstairs and it failed, we would have tried to fix it pretty quick, but we have the fairly basic backup strategy of going to sit upstairs with him.)
Rural areas throughout the world are poor. Rural Indiana is not going to ever again have such a high relative standard of living at it did fifty years ago. Appalachian communities don't have anything highly productive to offer; resource extraction doesn't require much labor anymore.

The jobs aren't coming back. If you don't want so many poor, we need to let them move to where the jobs are and will continue to be.
Web Workers to improve UI performance
Geekbench is designed to measure CPU burst speeds, not to measure cooling systems. By design it does not run long enough to test the thermal situation.
> Often the right thing to do for the long term isn't the popular choice

And often making the right choice is about reducing the risk of something happening which although would be catastrophic has only a small or unknown chance of occurring. If it doesn't happen the politicians will be 'blamed' for over reacting and wasting money.
And yet, that is not the case! While ReactNative might not result in quite as big of a performance penalty as embedding a browser engine, its performance can still be worse than actual native apps, given that it adds additional abstractions to make developer's lives easier and allow for cross-platform development: https://medium.com/swlh/flutter-vs-react-native-vs-native-de...

While one could argue that there aren't that many visually driven experiences like that out in the wild, the benchmarks still prove that most abstractions have drawbacks.

Of course, there are good reasons for using them, which is also why many choose even the previously mentioned Electron platform for development, instead of something like Qt/GTK on desktop.

But for the discussion at hand, it simply serves as a suggestion that there's more at play here than just "Java uses a lot of memory and can be slow".
I run a two wheel tractor tips group for BCS tractor(Italian design) machines on Facebook. At some point, I want to come up with an easy to follow repair and maintenance manual from the crowdsourced solutions. I was thinking wiki format.

These things break down in spectacular ways. If anyone is interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1761993507160910/

At some point, I want to create an online course for women who farm for tractors and tools repair and maintenance.

I believe more and more that our machines and tools in the future would be robots and electrical. And data hogs. Connected machines. At which point, we are most certainly going to be restricted from repairing them.

I am sorry to go off on a tangent as the GP is about motorcycles. I have made this about farm machinery. I don’t suppose right to repair is an issue with personal road vehicles?
For the target audience of the Air and the 13" MBP, no, it is not a downer. These are not flagship machines (despite that they are performing well against existing flagships).

I used Google Music for streaming music ever since it became available in our country. I remember the first thing I did was to back up all my mp3s, but after that I used to stream many other songs and that worked just fine. I found everything that I was interested in on there.

At least for me it was a good music streaming service, had all I ever needed.

Now I switched to YT Music. Not sure how that's any different. It still plays most of the music I had bundled up in the playlists I created over the years and that's fine I guess. It seems a bit easier to find live sets from festivals with YT Music so that's a plus.
... you can't listen to music you paid for without having the screen on?

Wow. Just wow.

Good job Google, you made something worse than a Walkman. A Walkman could clip on your belt and you didn't have to worry about jostling it or touching it wrong and so having it do something wrong.

"some countries like India use FB as their "internet." They don't know www exists."

This is a sweeping generalization. India has over 500 million internet users (mostly using mobile) and there is plenty of usage besides facebook.
You mean a non portable laptop?
Gaming laptops are huge for a reason: they need to get rid of a lot of heat.

Thin and light is great for short bursts of activity, but, when you need sustainable heavy usage, you'll need a bigger computer, even if it's just to have a bigger heatsink.
Sounds to me like taxing WFH fits the description of "ruining everything good with taxation".

I mean, there's already a progressive income tax. Why should society create incentives to commute to work?
Oh, that is expensive. Here in northern sweden I pay $0.08 per kWh. However you guys plastered all your houses with solar panels a few years ago so I guess that helps a lot to keep the cost down by not needing to buy so much.
I disagree actually, there is strong resurgence of psychedelic movement(hence decriminalization of shrooms, etc in various parts of the country)

Do you know maybe whether there are similar adoption rates in HTTP/3?

As someone that implemented http/1.1 almost feature complete [1], I think that the real problem on the web is the missing of a testsuite.

There needs to be a testsuite for http that both clients and servers can test against, and that is not tied to internal codes of a web browser.

I say this because even a simple spec like 206 with multiple range requests literally never is supported by any web server. Even Nginx, apache or google's own dns over https servers behave differently if the request headers expect multiple response bodies. Let alone the unpredictability of chunked encodings, which is another nightmare.

I really think that there should be an official testsuite that is maintained to reflect the specifications, similar to the intention of the (meanwhile outdated) acid tests.

Adoption rates to new http versions will always stay low if you implement it for months exactly as the spec says, just to figure out that no real world webserver actually implements it in the same way.

"Don't upgrade MacOS to x.0 version" is already a common idea. Why would it be any different for their hardware?

Because hardware and software are very different. The M1 is the next stage of Apple’s A series of SoCs—and they've shipped over 1.5 billion of those. I’d like to think all of the R & D and real world experience Apple has learned since the A4 in 2010 has lead to where we are today with the M1.

If anything, this simplifies things quite a bit compared to using an Intel processor, a Radeon GPU (on recent Macs with discrete graphics), Intel’s EFI, etc. This transition has been in the works for several years and Apple knows they only get one shot a making a first impression; I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be shipping if they weren't ready. I’m not concerned in the least about buggy hardware. They just reported the best Mac quarter in the history of the company; it's not there's pressure to ship the new hotness because the current models aren't selling [1].

The release version of Big Sur for Intel Macs is 11.0.1 and I've been running it for 2 days now. It's been the smoothest macOS upgrade I've done in a long time—and I've done all of them, going back to Mac OS X Public Beta 20 years ago.

I'm super impressed by those M1 CPUs. But it's so sad that the only way to get them is buying one of the few Apple options. I wish that Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm et al catch up quickly. We really want competition in this field.
RIP Intel/AMD.

It's funny how people make assumptions about technology use among the elderly - myself included. She got a 16GB iPhone a few years ago and filled it with videos within half a year.

She wants her photos/videos with her at all times, but then she would need at least 256gb phone which she cannot afford the contract for. Google photos was a perfect balance for this, as the app works very very well as a photo browser where everything is in the cloud - meaning she could offload all the photos and videos (at an acceptable quality for her [impaired] vision) from the phone.
Well the M1 is not some "new" and "overnight" phenomenon. Apple has been designing its own ARM chips for iOS for a decade now, and with great success. The iPad Pro's ARM is still faster than at least 90% of all laptops made by any company. Moving that into their desktop/laptop line made a lot of sense and leverages many years of research and production experience.
I think the benefits are where some automated system writes your "preload" entries for you.

For example, a webpack stage could render inside a sandbox each page of your site, detect which resources get loaded, and add all of those as preload/server push entries. The server itself can keep records of which resources have been pushed to a specific client, and not push them again.

Writing preload lists by hand is never going to scale with today's web apps with hundreds or thousands of requests for a typical page.

Google Job: Yes if you can get it starting out.

Startup: May be in a couple of years after getting some industry experience. Contrary to what people may say, it is extremely tough to just found a startup when you have no experience, connections, vision or even idea of what you would want to do. If you have the vision, connections, experience etc, sure go for it but most likely you don't.
Several benchmarks have shown that popular x86 apps running in Rosetta on the M1 still run faster than running on native x86 on other machines, so it's probably not going to be an issue.

Right, but that's a plus - that's more how it works in other democracies; the equivalent of the house having the upper hand; essentially impeachment at that point turns into a milder form of a vote of no confidence. It's still milder than in other countries, because the senate gets a vote at all.

Framing this as if any of the legal constructs (house, senate, presidency) is reasonable, and thus needs to perhaps be punished for abuse of power is I believe pointless. Impeachment is not about right or wrong, it's about political support (I mean, just look at those almost completely party-line votes in house and senate recently!)

For American democracy to start working again - which has nothing to do with fairness, mind you - the power hierarchy needs to clearly weed out obstructionism; and where obstructionism is possible or even valuable as a kind of common sense sanity-check, either side involved needs to be elected or appointed on the same electoral basis (because the other option is political powerplay, rendering the whole point of things like impeachment moot, as it is today).

Pick two: A government that can govern, or elections with differing structures (essentially ensuring various branches will fight simply as a form of party politics, not based on merit), or equal branches of government, where one (plain majority) cannot remove the other.

You can't have all three.

Aside, the idea that the presidency is stable because it's decoupled from congressional support is not born out by simple comparison to other countries. Quite the opposite: by splitting powers like that, foreign actors need to consider internal US politics to a large degree. Stability would be greater if a simple majority in the house had the ability to appoint a new president at a whim - not because whims are stable, but because that shapes the back and forth of political powerplay, and thus renders the house responsible for the presidencies errors, which is how it works in other countries. Countries don't tend to reappoint prime ministers all that often, especially if a coalition is involved, because not only is that likely to be punished by voters, it's quite hard to form coalitions if you break support like that. That's not to say that a coalition of microscopic parties would be a great idea for the US by the way; just that small steps in that direction would increase stability.
I suggested the same thing the other day and got downvoted...
Based on (recent & ongoing) personal experience (which luckily includes not having to work, still getting full salary and therapy/shrink) and learning from that - longer break is obviously good, though likely not enough in longer term.

Exactly that combination of "you care deeply about the area you are working in" and "hard to turn off" (even with less of "very ambitious company") - will eventually bring you back to the same situation, unless you change habits/approach/etc.

Instead of focusing/pushing for "not tying so much of myself to my work/current company" and "motivation" - perhaps it's better to focus on training yourself when and "how to turn off" and not slowly drift towards old habits?

And I think I know what you mean by "depression hits pretty hard and you stop doing things for yourself due to lack of joy/seeing the point in doing anything". Though in my case I realized that it originally started from myself feeling guilt where I was nagging to myself how I can't do whatever fun thing while there was some other work thing/project where I thought I'm behind.

So slowly over time that guilt made fun things less fun, and combined with stress started to skew perception of how productive I am, and how long something will/should take ...etc. Eventually that skewed perception spilled from work to personal life - so for those things/projects that were still at least somewhat fun/enjoyable I also started to be annoyed by them taking longer than what I thought they should take.
Does anyone know how fast the unified memory is? Is on package is likely to mitigate some of the lack of cache?
To be fair, it's pretty outdated terminology.

It comes from an era when computers were so genuinely slow that doing almost anything - even using page layout like Pagemaker, or setting up just a single track song in a DAW, had tons of render lag. Even spreadsheets would take significant amounts of crunch time to run their calcs, in the very early days. This meant that most work done on computers, with anything larger than a "toy/hello-world" dataset, was going to be painfully slow. That's why they called it "professional" - because you were actually using datasets large enough to burden the beast. Actually balancing a whole company's finances with a spreadsheet, rather than tallying up a little 10-item list.

I want to emphasize that "majoritarian" aspect of it - it wasn't just a few specific kinds, it was a majority of ALL kinds of work.

And that's changed.

We're now at a point where only a tiny minority of tasks done on computers actually have throughput limits based on the computer rather than the operator.

M1 is not magic and can't break the laws of physics. SMT makes better use of silicon and will probably push speeds closer. OTOH, M1 has a fast memory that the i9 can't match.

The screens usually have at least 1-2mm border around them, plus driving complexity will go over the roof. But it's a great tinkerers project - go for it!

Since our software allows tiling we've built some test large scale composite screens out of our 6" and 9" devices - I think maximum was around 25-50 screens combined in a big virtual surface, with resolution over 10k x 10k pixels. So sure, it can be done, but is a pain to setup and run.
