I hate iMessage because it subverts SMS. This is mainly a problem with my USA friends & family, especially my parents. If I unintentionally tie my phone number to iMessagee, my parents can no longer figure out how to contact me reliably. Sending an SMS on an Android and receiving a reply on my Mac is a shit user experience.
Valuable comment right here for the autodidact, thank you!
There are a lot of licensing restrictions that will make it extremely hard, if not impossible, for you to buy this from a third-party vendor. You'll need to sign a PAF(https://postalpro.usps.com/NCOALink_PAF) with the NCOA service provider and if I remember correctly the smallest "batch" of addresses that the licensee can run at a time is of 100. The service provider also cannot run addresses via NCOA without actually sending a piece of mail to the address being processed.

Source: I helped build a USPS CASS-certified address verification and NCOA API at my previous employer. Dealing with USPS licensing was a PITA.
What’s the advantage? I don’t think it’s likely to cost less as a service, especially directly from Apple. If you get the same performance per dollar you might as well keep using what you have.

Heat and energy savings only apply to the direct user (in this case Apple Hosting) and unlikely to be passed onto you (since it’s Apple).

We’ve already seen this with M1 computers which are simpler and less expensive but did not have a lower retail price.
Nit: most of the C library calls are in section 3; section 2 is system calls.
My understanding WRT buying a movie on iTunes was:

1. If you download the movie, you will always have the ability to play the movie you downloaded.

2. As long as Apple has the rights to distribute the movie, you will be able to re-download it again

3. If Apple loses the rights, and you don't have your own backed up copy, it's lost.

It's the same for Audible books; which is why I always d/l and backup any movie or book I buy electronically.

Buying a physical DVD is only #1. If you buy a physical DVD at Walmart or whatever, and then lose it, you can't go back to Walmart and ask for a second DVD; that's a perk of buying an electronic copy.

Compare this to buying a piece of software off a website for $30. You download the installer, install it, and use it. Six months later, the company goes out of business and the website does down. You can still use the software as long as you still have the installed version and/or the installer; but if you lose the installer, you lose access.

I guess the difference is that Apple is purposely blurring the line between "storing stuff in the cloud" and "redownloading" movies. What should really happen is that three months before Apple loses the distribution rights, they should send an email to everyone who's bought the move, telling them to either 1) Download it to their own local hard drive 2) Buy an iCloud subscription and click this button, and Apple will automatically "download" it from iTunes to your iCloud folder on your behalf. (EDIT: Which due to [1], will probably require actually shipping bits over some internal network for each individual user.)

This 'of course you dont own it' is false. Compare with a book, which you can own. The law makes sure you stil can't distribute limitless copies, even if you own it. But you can inherit a book, lend it out, be sure it stays around after the vendor would rather take it back, even swatting flies as a purposes it wasn't ment for.

Licensing, and specifically the EULA, was popularized by Microsoft, to make sure you didn't get the rights on their software you have on a book. Would you tolerate a book with any of these: Disclaimer of warranty or fitness for purpose; Automatic revocation; Forbidding critique; Monitoring. Presumably you could license books instead of sell them, and add all anti-rights.

Well GPU data structures aren’t always a power of two, right? There’s more than textures. For a fact, I know vertex count (vertex shaders?) and screen sizes (fragment shaders?) will rarely be exactly a power of two.
Having had a quick look at the AMD 17h processor family optimization guide, it would seem that the PREFETCHNTA opcode is the one you are looking for; it hints to the processor to pull the memory pointer close to the processor while avoiding polluting the cache.

For GCC it would seem that using this built in pseudo function call does the trick;

__builtin_prefetch((void *)p,0,0);

Dear "Earth",

> Mars can wait. I can’t.

When you say things this ignorant, it almost makes me want another theia-sized object to slam into you at a relative velocity of kilometers per second to teach you a lesson.

How many extinction events do you need to witness before you accept the reality that any life that stays on you is doomed in the long term? I'm interested in long term survival more than quick-fixes. I can somewhat appreciate your little short-term viewpoint, but you're completely missing my long-term one.

We love you. You're great. I think that the puppies were an especially nice touch. Echidnas are pretty cool, too. And you can absolutely count on me taking bacon with me when I leave. But I'm afraid we are going to have to leave sooner or later. Or did you have some plan for how to stop the sun expanding into its red giant phase and swallowing you whole? Didn't think so.

You talk about going to Mars as if we're spending a significant amount of resources on it. I'd like to point you to the relative sizes of every Mars program in existence and the US Navy's toilet paper budget to point out just how ludicrous that idea is.

I feel like maybe you should do some more research, and also realise that it's possible for humanity to do more than one thing at a time. Especially if we can reduce that toilet paper budget - those sailors can't be eating that much curry, surely?

Mars is awesome. 0.3g will be heaps more fun than this horrible 9.8m/s/s garbage that you force on us. Also that horrible bright thing that's in the sky half the time won't be nearly as bothersome - when I'm walking home from parties at 7am it'll be much more tolerable. Mars is going to give me an extra half hour's sleep-in every single day. How many sleep-ins have you ever given me? Zero.

And Mars isn't going to bitch and moan if we pump greenhouse gases into it's atmosphere. In fact, it'll reward us for that by giving itself a nice thick atmosphere that we can then pump oxygen into, and nicer temperatures.

Also, Mars never beset us with any rats and floods and poison monkeys, did it? Sounds a whole lot like you've started the fight for survival, but now you want to quit because you're losing!

Well I say hard cheese!

What do even the middle of the pack teams play for in the US system? I don't get it all.

It's even worse that that since there are incentives to finishing near the bottom of the table since it gives you access to better players in the next season via the draft. There are several occasions where bottom ranked teams have been accused of throwing late season games so they can finish even lower in the tables.

That's why it's deemed "not competitive" by European standards.

On the other hand if you look at the diversity of teams that have made it to the Super Bowl the past 20 years and compare that to the diversity of teams that have finished in the top two in the EPL or La Liga the past 20 years, then it looks a lot more competitive.
So is the core of this issue that if I "buy" a movie on iTunes (say Kenneth Braunah's Henry V), and they lose the right to distribute it (as they did within the last year), I can no longer watch the movie?

> No one truly knows the depths of YouTube's video codec selection

Well, you can get an idea by using youtube-dl to get information for a specific video. For example:

youtube-dl -F "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYEDA3JcQqw"

> AV1 is experimentally available on YouTube

No, it's in production. You've probably played a lot of AV1 video on your desktop machine without realising it. Firefox on my desktop defaults to AV1. To see which codec you're using, right click on the video and select "Stats for Nerds" from the context menu.

The video above has these three encodes for 1080p video:

mp4 937k av01.0.08M.08 26.12MiB
webm 1411k vp9 39.35MiB
mp4 2696k avc1.640028 75.18MiB

AV1 is the clear winner on file size. The quality is about the same for all three encodes. Each one has different encoding artifacts.

It is not possible in a server-based architecture (say your classical webapp). However if design your software to run purely on the end-user's machine, you can just distribute the source code with the binary and rely on third parties to validate that the binaries are derived from the source code.

Did you donated to it ? Because this is possible only with donations.

I did, but if at some point they will have to add some ad, I won't consider that awful if done in the right way.
Right, but the game theory there is pretty obvious: The better an ad is at "hacking" your mind and exploiting human characteristics, the more money it makes. Which naturally leads to this insane spiral of increasingly manipulative and insidious ads.

If your single purpose in life was to play board games with your wife, you would probably also observe these tendencies in your questions.

How you intend to extrapolate that? A seemingly much larger thermal/cooling headroom usually does not gain you that much in absolute performance. Consider the mobile/desktop Zen3 Ryzen geekbench (S)ingle/(M)ulti scores:

- 5800U, mobile (10-25W), 1400(S), 7000(M)

- 5800, desktop (65W), 1600(S), 9000(M)

- 5800X, desktop (105W), 1700(S), 11000(M)

and

- M1, mobile (10W), 1700(S), 7000(M)

Everyone's going gaga over the fact that the passively cooled M1 can trade blows with big desktop towers. But mobile Zen3 is not that far behind those towers either, so I think much more thermal headroom buys you less than people assume.
> The M1 doesn't make sense when its in every darn product. The only differentiator is screen size, RAM, and OS?

Why not? It's basically back to where we were in 1980 when "everything" had a Z80 or 6502 (or both!) in it, and the major differences were in what else was in the system.
I've contributed to a lot of repositories, and I've yet to see a single one where tests aren't automatically run. I can only think of a single one where some benchmarks are run on-demand.
That's only because no one other than Apple has put up a serious competition in ARM CPU space.

Earlier consoles used a boatload of different CPU and GPU architectures (PowerPC, SuperH, IBM Cell, other proprietary stuff, x86), nowadays consoles have converged to essentially a locked down, glorified x86 PC on one side (Xbox
One, Xbox S/X, PS4, PS5) and ruggedized ARM-based tablets (Nintendo Switch) on the other side.

On the mobile gaming space, ARM already has achieved utter dominance with Switch + iPhone + Android... all it needs for ARM to conquer the console market is for someone to tape out an extremely powerful chip and actually sell it - Apple won't.
The US divides it's police by town, not by state.

Chess.com is super bloated, slow to load, and hard to navigate. There's so much noise on the screen compared to playing on lichess. Features are paywalled. For example if I want to know how the top players are responding to a certain sequence of moves, I can just see that on lichess. Also weird stuff is locked like using your own computer to analyze games. Also if you haven't been to the site for awhile you get a lovely modal again asking you for money. It's not that getting paid for services is bad, it's just awful when there's a better quality free service.

There's actually a logic to it, although not an intuitive one at all, and it's that declaration should follow use. That is `int *ptr;` is a pointer to an int and to get the int you have to use * on it.

I don't have a strong feeling about the death penalty one way or the other.

It would be great though if the USA would end killing people in other countries! Most of whom don't come anywhere near a trial or even being accused of a crime. They probably outnumber the wrongly imprisoned/executed by thousands or hundreds of thousands to 1.

I use both, but what is chess.com better at is that they have grandmasters there you can learn from. That's the advantage of the commercial model - you can use the money to push things to a higher level. But overall I am on lichess more, since I can play crazyhouse against the computer there. :-)

Here is how some Apple user found out they own nothing (2019). Also it seems Apple nuked even things they actually owned:

Russia and China have to deal with this too (through different mechanisms), so it's not unexpected that they'd do it back.

They are also at much higher risk of fragmentation. Russia with the far east, etc. China with Xinjiang, etc.

I wouldn't expect them to stop unilaterally. It would require a treaty like SALT, which the US has shown zero appetite for - likely coz it sees fragmentation of rival states as a bigger prize than preventing political arguments at thanksgiving.
Exactly, so what is the point here? How exactly is that different from Intel generations?

Why does Apple put different amount of cores and clocks into different products if the choice doesn't matter? It seems like there are performance differences there if they choose to install differently configured SoCs in different devices and even split them by pricing on the iMac.

So, please, explain where's this big difference? (With more than a single sentence of your words if possible.)
From the text you quoted:

The former puts users first; the latter puts them last. There’s a chasm between “what do they want” and “what will they bear”.
Really impressive piece of software!
That's why I tend to always prefer automatic and static storage to dynamic allocation wherever possible, especially in cases where you don't have "N" items or "N" cannot possibly exceed a certain small value. Also, allocation/deallocation of the certain object need not be defined within its module. It should be up to the caller to decide whether to allocate the object on the stack, statically or dynamically depending on the caller's situation:

foo f;
foo_init(&f);
foo_destroy(&f);
...
foo *g = malloc(sizeof(foo));
foo_init(g);
foo_destroy(g);
free(g);
> I think Apple will keep selling x86 Macs forever.

Apple immediately discontinued all Mac minis, almost all the Macbook Air and Pro line ups and the iMac's running Intel. The last form factor to transition is the Mac Pro.

> For heavy-duty workstation workloads, M1 just doesn't cut it.

Perhaps you are right on this one for now. The M1 doesn't cut it for 'Apple's standards' for now but when the time comes for the Mac Pro to transition, it won't use an M1 chip, but probably an M2 / M3 chip.

Apple Silicon is the start of it all and M1 is only the beginning and is certainly not the last. So its worth waiting to see how the M1X, M2 or M3 Macs improve over M1.
The 4800U came out in March 2020 with 8 cores, 16 threads.
Yes. Hopefully they will do something about it. I have "bought" many movies on iTunes, you may argue that I am part of the problem, but I do because it is so very convenient.

I perfectly understand the implicit meaning of "buying" and what I get is a non-transferable license to access the movie from my account.

The same problem exists with video-games. It is much closer to a rental than ownership.

I believe that all these licenses should become transferable instead of locked to a specific account. I could somewhat agree to paying a small fee to achieve this, even though I believe it should be free. The technology to achieve this also exist (blockchain), so the only thing stopping big-media from doing this is greed.

I like lichess, it is my first go to website to play chess, but for-profit models also have their advantages. For example in chess.com, they pay grandmasters to be there, and one can learn a lot from grandmasters. They earn money, and invest them back so the site can be even better. So I think neither model is wrong, or inherently better than the other.
