It is not. According to [1] M1 GPU can run "up to 25000 threads".

Comparing raw numbers between vendors is always tricky, but it looks like Apple's "cores" are more like Nvidia's 'Streaming Multiprocessors' (SM's), of which their cards have between 14 and 100.
M1 seems to perform similar to their older, mid-end desktop cards (1050 Ti has 6 SM's and M1 matches it in benchmarks).

Apple Silicon supports local signing of whatever boot blob you like from in the recovery environment (in Permissive Security mode). This ensures the system boots the bits you yourself approved without applying any other requirements.

The other policies available are a) verify at install time the boot kernel is signed by Apple and is the most currently available version (default) or b) to verify at install time the boot kernel is signed by Apple without doing an online check (allows downgrades).

In all cases it's the same underlying mechanism that records what the system should be allowed to boot (according to whatever policy is in effect) and verifies at boot time it hasn't been tampered with. Big Sur takes that further and cryptographically verifies the entire system volume hasn't been tampered with (even offline).

You are correct that Apple does not provide drivers for other operating systems for M1 Macs.
Agree. I suffered of a IPv6 outage on an existing VPS for various weeks because their network migration broke something and they did not know how to solve it (I actually figured out for them what was the problem after some days, as they looked to have no clue); after ~3 weeks they came out with a "solution": create a new VPS.
I had to buy an IPv4 to connect to the VM from outside in the meanwhile, which they never reimbursed me (they offer something, then stepped back). Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22923550
is there even a reason for this? Don't get me wrong, I love it, but why?
Yes, markets can be wrong, but baselessly dismissing market data is plain dumb. Until market is shown wrong, the value that market assigns to something is at least some evidence of it’s true value.

Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but universe doesn’t care about socially beneficial outcomes. If a thing has valuable characteristics, no matter how socially harmful you may perceive it to be - those characteristics will not go anywhere.

So right now you’re basically arguing that bitcoin isn’t valuable because you don’t like what it’s valued for. There’s nothing wrong with that, but at least admit how highly subjective and contrary to available evidence that opinion is.

Typically these language oriented instructions need to be implemented by microcode in the CPU. Often this does not create a fast system, but it helps to keep the compiler simple. Examples are typical Lisp Machines, you've mentioned. With RISC CPUs OTOH the idea is to make the CPU instructions more primitive and put more effort into optimizing compilers instead. There were a few attempts to combine (high) language supporting architecture and the RISC principle, but I personally have never seen such a machine.

English will flatten somewhat, but so long as English is a big enough tent to comfortably hold massive subgroups in its own right it will continue to fork and branch in unpredictable ways. I would probably watch Indian English as the biggest variety of English, it will probably develop some unique grammar of its own. Though to some extent each major variety of English has something different about it (e.g. AAVE and "ain't no" negative double negation.)
Non-EU Europe, same issue. Only one company has cables in my building.

> RAM capacity is just RAM capacity. Possibly Swift-made apps uses less RAM compared to other apps, but microarchitecture shouldn't be matter.

My guess it's mostly faster swapping.

Microarchitecture could help, perhaps by making context switches faster.

But it could also be custom peripheral/DMA logic for handling swapping between RAM and NVM.

I think it makes sense.. NVM should be fast enough that RAM only needs to act as more of a cache. But existing architectures have a lot of legacy of treating NVM like just a hard drive. Intel is also working on this with its Optane related architecture work.

You could also do on-the-fly compression of some kinds of data to/from RAM. But I havent heard any clues that M1 is doing that, and you'd need applications to give hints about what data is compressible.

This was the UK in 2005 — no IRAs [0], and I received 5% on my current account around then.

The way players get poe currency in path of exile
Most linux terminal stuff works easily on mac - all the vims, emacs and so on.

For FTP, there is Transmit by Panic, which is quite neat. For web browsing, Big Sur's Safari finally works well (it's the first time I managed to do a switch from Chrome, after multiple tries).

Time Machine backup is also awesome - I couldn't find anything working just as well for other OSs.

There are also some neat system-wide tricks you may like:

- you can set up a hot-corner in preferences to show the desktop. I have mine in bottom-right, that way if I want to move sth in and out of desktop, I grab it, do the hot-corner, and drop.

- most file-editing apps have an icon next to a file-name in the window bar. you can drag&drop that icon to copy file etc. if you command-click the icon, the whole path to the file get revealed

- you can drag & drop files to every open file dialog in the system. super-handy

- home/end/pgup/pgdown keys are missing on the keyboard, but Emacs shortcuts work throught the whole system, e.g. Ctrl+A, Ctrl+E = home/end in every text dialog

- command+option+shift+v = paste without style, if you want to paste something into a wysiwyg text editor as a plain text

- command+shift+4 - screenshot of a part of the screen. also can serve as a pixel ruler, since it shows how many pixels you are grabbing

- Cmd+Up/Cmd+Down - navigate within the filesystem

In general, for me as a dev - the best thing about MacOS is how much of the stuff is built-in, and a ton of system features that are consistent through all the apps. That, and a linux-style console/filesystem :)

How Does Tesvor Robot Vacuum Work?
With the development of intelligent robot technology, the robot vacuum have completely changed the way we clean our houses and take the hassles out of household chores.

I interpret pro-government as "supports the current administration's agenda". You seem to be interpreting it as "anti-anarchy" or at least 'pro-democracy". But a free (to be critical of the government's policies!) and independent press is crucial to the functioning of a democracy.
I also am very upset how the bar got lower for web developer. It just some how developer becomes a cool thing to do, and people who are not even interested in development jumped on the band wagon it is very annoying for people who truly understand the development and coding process and being doing it before it was cool.
Because as the sibling comments point out, the price of a Mac Pro isn't just an "Apple Tax^WPremium" over a desktop machine but is an order of magnitude more expensive (assuming you don't care about workstation-class components, i.e. Xeon Ws, Radeon Pro GPUs and ECC RAM).

There's an enormous price gap between a Mac Mini and the Mac Pro (especially when the Mini now has higher single-threaded performance than the base Pro...) which Apple has widened in the last decade or two.

I'm struggling with the same dilemma at the moment but at the 15" size point.

I just bought the XPS 15 (2020 model) in the i7-10750H / 16 GB / 1 TB / 4K touchscreen configuration, with 4 years of extended warranty, and it set me back $3000 USD here in the UK. This was with 16% Dell Advantage discount. For comparison in the US a slightly better package with 32GB of RAM is currently up for less ($2,750, so more like $2,900 after sales tax I guess). Retail.

I've also bought the exact same configuration and package, refurbished from the Dell Outlet, in the standard HD resolution for $1,900. This one has yet to arrive.

So how does the 4K XPS fair in Linux?

I booted in to Ubuntu 20.10 using a USB stick and... the keyboard didn't work. For some reason Ubuntu brings up the on-screen keyboard when I use the touchscreen, but the physical keyboard is completely non-functional.

Fedora 33 live? No wifi.

Manjaro XFCE worked great. I was pleasantly surprised (once all the 4K related scaling settings were fixed) how good it looked and how well everything just worked.

Paying $1,100 for a 4K touchscreen upgrade that causes nothing but problems on Linux is a hard thing to justify and, unfortunately for Dell, the screen on the XPS is probably its biggest selling point right now. Now M1 is a known quantity they really need to discount these laptops imho.

On the XPS you only get 3 USB-C ports, and one is constantly in use for me because I rarely unplug. I will be needing a stupidly expensive dock, so I have no idea how anyone can cope with just the 2 on the XPS 13. The keyboard is better than average but still pretty harsh, the touchpad has borderline build quality (springboardy) and is too large for my tastes (and I miss physical buttons), and the although the screen is gorgeously sharp and bright the fact that it's glossy still causes reflections in my home office.

I do not think I will be keeping either laptop, and instead I'm looking toward the X1 Extreme Gen3, with its better port options, keyboard and build quality.

For the use case of setting up shop on a comfortable desk in the morning without moving for a long work day, a laptop form factor is as unnecessary as small size, small weight and long battery life.

A large box with suitcase-like handles, mainboard and batteries at the bottom, a detachable keyboard in frontand foldout screens (larger than 17.3 inches!) on top would be more ergonomic and more difficult to tip over, and it would make using desktop/server parts easier.

Norsk Data were one of the big computer companies in the 80s.

Together with Bull, Wang, Datasaab, NCR, and a few more they pretty much defined minicomputers. They dominated the computing space for about a decade. Then they were undercut from the UNIX companies. Which in turn were undercut about a decade later by microcomputers, PC hardware and things like Linux took over.

In their short run, minicomputers were commercially successful and quickly became entrenched and neither their business models nor their expensive hardware could compete with the later generations of computers. All of the above companies went into bankruptcy or were bought out and stripped during the early 90s.

Computing hardware generations seem to get a longer lifespan though as we are still stuck with PC-style hardware. It has managed to evolve as stay relevant, probably in large because of Intel.

You can store "possible attacking" IP's in a counting Bloom filter and start blocking when it saturates. Random false positives are probably not an issue for an analytics service that's inherently lossy anyways.

By using Bloom filter you avoid storing IP's, and save tons of space. They're basically required for rate limiting in IPV6 where the address space is so large an attacker can just run you out of ram by using so many different IP's.

It's also pretty common to have several thresholds of blocking based on individual IP vs subnets. So if more than 2 ips get blocked in a small subnet, you block the whole subnet.

You can get the VAT off, sure, but on the rest you just get to pay out of pre-tax profit. In the UK that means 20%.

So a machine that's £5k retail becomes £4167 without VAT, effectively £3333 if you take into account tax savings, which only apply if your company is in profit. A £15K machine effectively would still cost you £10k.

It's a big saving, sure, but it's still a very expensive machine.
Farms have continued to grow, echoing Earl Butz' (Nixon's Secretary of Ag) "get big or get out" philosophy. However, there are several studies out there showing that a greater portion of the world's population is fed by small farms:

Well, the OP on Stack Overflow was asking what the benefit of using a FIPS-secured device is.

The hardware encryption itself is probably not enough if you want to keep your stuff secure from the US government. So you can fall back to software encryption right from the start. No need to spend lots of money on the hardware piece, except you need a "tinkering proof" device.

That wikipedia article is somewhat wrong. There is a lot of competition in denmark.

There are 3 separate 4G networks with very high coverage selling mobile broadband rather cheaply (you can fx get 1 TB a month for approx 36 USD a month).

TDC was also forced to give competitors access to their PSTN, coax and fiber network so resellers can compete on selling on their physical network.

The power companies have also been aggressive in recent years rolling out fiber, so several places people can choose either infrastructure from TDC, their power company or one of the mobile providers.
