I'm curious about this, because I read some posts e.g. https://medium.com/computed-comparisons/garbage-collection-v... that say memory management and bandwidth are so fast, you actually need a lot less memory than on Intel.

Edit: not my opinion, just what I found on the internets, not sure why the downvotes if it invites discussion.

The ISA is open but the chip is custom and very different from any of the standard designs ARM Holdings has (or anybody else for that matter). Not exactly an "architecture" to open like OP said but just pointing out the CPU isn't some standard design with nothing to open up simply because it licenses the ARM ISA. That's like saying your book is off the shelf because it used an English dictionary for the words.

The vertical software integration creates many small wins that aren't insignificant overall but it's not why they are nearly 2x ahead of Qualcomm using the same ISA at the same power level in 3rd party userspace computation only benchmarks. There isn't any vertical integration in those, the raw performance is just better.

For another take on this Chrome vs Safari benchmarks put Chrome at ~90% the speed in web benchmarks and this is Chrome's 1st stable release of an M1 native version. At the same that's 45% faster than Chrome on my AMD 3950X. I remember when Apple added the Javascript rounding instruction to their chips people speculated that's why Safari was now so fast, turns out a Safari dev chimed it they hadn't started making use of it yet the new chips were just faster than before.
NVIDIA picked Ada/SPARK. I wonder why Ada is not considered by large companies when it comes to critical low-level programming. Ada/SPARK got all the constructs for that, it has been designed for very critical stuff, and low-level programming is pretty easy and so much less error-prone than most languages that are considered. It is actually a joy to do low-level programming in Ada. There are no performance penalties either, so that is not an issue.
Majority won't differ based on how you break it down (unless a brand has multiple platforms, which isn't particularly the case).

Largest market share would differ for brands and platforms though.

My broader point, that the exaggeration makes it difficult to understand what they are getting at, survives quibbling about what the words mean, and probably if some platform that isn't Apple has a 40% market share (Rather than just a brand). 40% is a big chunk when the starting line is that everyone will react severely.
Wow that’s pretty cool. I also found https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/abou... which explicitly says Rosetta can handle jit. I wonder how it does that? It must emulate the jitted x86 instructions...
Owning a ryzen 4800u laptop I can confirm and it's actually an annoyance for me.

My main issue is responsiveness is worse on battery, opening apps and pages is noticably slower on my 4800u compared to my i7-8550u on battery.

Changing performance and power modes has no effect on this, the 10s delay remains intact and only power used after that changes.

This was the case on my S540-13ARE, my current Slim 7 and also have heard it from matebook users.

For many these shorter task uses is what they actually use their laptops for, not for encoding and running cpu stress benches. So actually intel does have a point here (and it happens to be something I noticed when buying these laptops pretty fast and is indeed an issue for me)

IMX it has often been pretty obvious by inspection. If two or more functions do "if {complex condition} then {complex action with only one variation}" any competent programmer should be able to see that a modification using a common function is equivalent. A slightly more complex case might require more review eyeballs to prove equivalence. Then there are tests. For a relatively small piece of the code you can test quite exhaustively. Most often those tests can live on as permanent unit tests. Occasionally they're so tied to the implementation that they're better thrown away after they've accomplished their purpose.

Obviously any but the most trivial refactor requires some care. Is it worth it, when (in the context of OP) you're in there to do something else? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. One rule of thumb is whether you're just rearranging code or changing the fundamental way that it works. Refactors of the first type can generally be kept low-risk and are probably worthwhile. Rewrites of the second type involve more risk and are probably better left to be projects unto themselves.

I'm not sure. I think it probably applies in personal life. But is there an imperative to 1) bring it into the workplace, and 2) to fall in line with any specific group and their chosen preferred language/actions?

I'm equivocal on both of these.

In the case of (1), why should the act of fighting injustice pause by some notion of decorum at work? Where should our priorities and values lie?

In the case of (2), many people have good reasons to find the prevailing leftist/progressive rhetoric distasteful. But right now the groups who espouse that rhetoric are also the most active and most effective groups taking action right now. If you aren't with them, who exactly are you with? Or so the rhetoric might go.
I don't know much about Itaniumm, but that was a server architecture, right? That target platform would made it difficult to achieve the same performance per watt as the mobile focused ARM chips.
Thanks for reporting! Bummer, for me I think I will have to wait for an M2.
Serious question, since I only have a little experience writing assembly:

How would optimized M1 assembly differ from optimized ARM assembly in general?

I imagine good ARM assembly code on a Gravitron2 or a Snapdragon chip would be similarly good on an M1 chip
Dev here, the burden of Apple far exceeds any claimed time savings. I think every dev knows exactly what I'm talking about. And if you aren't a dev, Apple treats us like replaceable Dogs.

Apple has killed any good will among nerdy developers by treating them like shit for 20 years. Sure there are still corporate developers that are forced to make iOS apps, but it's not like a hobbyist is going to buy an Apple computer for embedded, web dev, gaming, PC applications, etc...

Until Apple treats us(and maybe their non dev customers) better, I don't see any reason outside iOS Apps to ever buy a macbook for dev.

>>Abortion has no impact on other beings with rights (as we do not assigned rights to a fetus).

Aside from the fact that in law we do, if for example you were to commit a felony and in the act of that felony a pregnant women died, you would be charged with both the murder of the women and the unborn child. This discrepancy in the law is a very real one that defyes your logic here

The other problem with your argument is that your position that Person A that leaves there home is involuntarily subjecting "everyone else" is possible sickness.

However like person A "everyone else" also voluntary left their home thus assuming the risk. Thus there is no externalities in this equation at all. If person A got sick then they assumed that risk like everyone else.

For example I did not attend any holiday gatherings, nor have I been physically into a store since like April, all shopping is down online, and delivered or curbside pickup. I assessed the risks to myself and deemed curbside is my personal acceptable risk vector. For others they are fine with continuing to shop in the stores, everyone in that store has assumed that risk.

Likewise Family Gatherings where outside my comfort zone, however everyone that did have family gathers has assumed the risk for for them.

I work with probably as it relates to financial markets, and my gripe with probably is at an even lower level. Even with dice, the fact of the matter is that you will roll dice with almost entirely Newtonian forces acting on it, and it will settle on a number. This is not unknown to physics. It’s just unknown to us. And because we don’t have the data and computational power to know with any certainty where the dice will land, we call it random.

Everything I do is centered around creating probability distributions of where a stock will be in in the future. I don’t do this because it is fundamentally unknowable, but because I cannot access all of the data necessary to know.

So, I’ve come to regard probably measure as an interesting and useful tool, but one that has no connection to the reality of existence.
I don’t think this is a fair reason to write the tool off. They support Homebrew, and I’m sure will add other install methods in the future. Piping to bash is no worse than clicking “yes” on every step of an install wizard.
> Wages can't rise either as there are tons of people who are willing to stay in Toronto no matter how relatively poorer they are as a result. In an economically rational market, people would leave Toronto over the costs and salaries would rise (like they have in San Francisco, where people have left to Seattle and Denver and remote work over pay not going very far). That is not happening in any meaningful quantity.

That's because of the out of control immigration quotas.

It's still a better deal to live in Toronto than in their home country for a lot of people around the world. Combine this with an extremely conservative investment landscape and that's what you get, over speculation on "safe" assets and a lack of funding for other businesses.
> and it did not really disrupt a lot of the supply chains or economy...

Your argument made sense up to this point, I agree we should have implemented WFH and Online classes years ago in order to lower traffic congestion and reduce our carbon footprint as inter-connectivity increased.

What I think you're missing is the critical flaw when we saw a massive hit in the Supply Chain, the Value systems within them responded in kind. I'd argue the Supply Chains remarkably broke down (specifically in food, gym equipment and toiletry). Distribution becomes an impossibility when demand far outweighs production and you have nothing to ship for weeks to months, or you have no one to harvest and it rots in fields.

> The most important thing these people do in our economy is spending.

Consumer based economies have this baked into the system, and is actually one of my gripes with this Crony-Capitalist system we've been operating under, but it has it's limitations: this year's black Friday which was a monumental failure by most economists metrics, but was actually a reversion to the mean wherein people have lost significant amounts of expendable income they spend this time of year (which is really debt driven) and overproduction was met with large price reductions that will likely remain. Target, one of the largest online retailers, had a month long 'black Friday' sale as did New Egg and these are the affects of supply forecasting done several quarters ago, perhaps some even from 2019. Unfortunately politicians make giving them bailouts a priority and the model never really seems to undergo the correction that needs to happen to reduce overall consumption to sustainable levels.

For someone who did Supply Chain and Logistics in the Auto Industry and is now returning back into it after a 4 year hiatus, its a Brave New World with immense challenges. Some things still remain, but it's definitely not the same animal at all.
These kinds of things happen all the time in companies. Company relocates team x, company decides not to allow remote but that one engineer doesn’t relocate it or works remotely. Usually because the employees has long tenure/unique skillset/otherwise valuable that losing them would be a big loss.

We don’t have details who exactly was required to relocate and who weren’t. Coinbase’s compliance department is huge made of multiple teams, so it’s not just the handful of people mentioned in this article.

I fear this, although regulation would be welcome. Already, the AppStore is a bigger revenue generator than PlayStore even though Apple holds about a 27% share worldwide. If a big market like US, went all in on iPhone. I fear that we will have an app problem in Android and other free Android forks, which eventually might kill competitiveness of any non iOS platform.

Unification, maybe. Simplification, no. That's evident if you just scroll down the list of Nobels in physics. You even mentioned Einstein, but I don't know how you could claim general or special relativity are simpler than Newtonian physics.

I'm fairly sure we evolved to cope with eating fruit.

The other thing is that, for a cheap item, especially one I'm reordering, Amazon takes me literally about 30 seconds to order something. Will I do some comparison shopping for a $100 item? Sure. I do order from other online sources as well but it's probably easiest to have a default whether that's Amazon or someone else.

To the parent point, even with 2-day delivery, most of the things I order aren't stuff I need right now. And the reality is that, normally, they'd have gone on a list where they'd have rattled around before I got around to going to the store with a shopping list. But, now, generally minimizing or at least reducing store trips, has reinforced the notion that a lot of in-person errands are pretty unnecessary given online options.

That's pretty much how I feel too.

Nothing enticing because my computer is lightning fast and this means having to use the Apple ecosystem.

It's almost like Apple has a culture of forcing people to do things the hard way, just so it feels rewarding when it's done. Gamifying the experience?
> Dev here, the burden of Apple far exceeds any claimed time savings.

I have the complete opposite experience. I don't feel any burden from apple when using a mac. MacOS being a unix like operating system makes developing on it a breeze. On windows i need to use archaic developer tools like powershell. Linux commands I use on my production servers don't work on my development environment. If I want to use git in a sane manner from the command line i need to install an emulator that has its own issues.

There is a reason almost all companies in silicon valley use macbooks for their developers.

> Let’s make driving to the store a net positive for the environment.

Impossible. Even if the car is powered by renewable electricity, each trip to the store contributes to wear and tear on the vehicle, and the parts on the vehicle were almost certainly not produced with renewable energy but with polluting sources, and plus the industrial process producing them likely produces some toxic waste.
That article seems confused and/or misinformed on many points, on many levels.

As for the GP cited use case, there's no plausible way in which the compilers involved in the V8 build process would start using less memory due to their memory management machinery getting magically transformed by the hardware from tracing GC to refcounting GC, even assuming LLVM had been using tracing GC in the first place.

(Also the tracing GC memory overhead claims originating in Apple's marketing copy are way hyperbolic, modern tracing GCs don't require double storage used in "mark and sweep" GCs)

That's a lot of orders. It seems like many people are buying a lot of things and I'm just gobsmacked that you can come up with so many things to buy! I mean, I order groceries once a week online, but what are the _things_ that people buy? I buy things maybe three times a year in total (excluding things that are necessary for the household, like glue and leather oil).
