Apple has always been a hardware company though. Software has just been for the purpose of selling their hardware.

MSFT is the opposite. So it makes sense it be much slower/harder to get going in this area.
That presumes people agree with the system in place for Toll Roads... I do not that is for sure, so I certainly do not want to expand that to other areas

I am not sure what you are talking about when it comes to implied consent, but in the US At least one is only responsible for their own actions, it is a dangerous precedent to set that a 3rd party should be liable for the actions of others, were by the state can just fine or even arrest someone with out proving them personally committed the offense

No that is not something I want to have applied to anything not even tolls or traffic laws
Yeah, the design suck. But these are machine that are going to be used 8-10 hours a day. Better be functional than trendy.
Not OP. Personally, I've had Dell, HP and Sony laptops. But the macs have been the longest lasting of them all. My personal pro is from 2015.

It has also come to a point where none of the extensions makes sense for me. 512GB is plenty. RAM might be an issue - but I honestly don't have enough data on that. The last time I had more than 16GB RAM was in 2008 on my hand built desktop.

As long as the battery can be replaced/fixed - even if it's not user serviceable, I'm okay with that. I'd guess I'm not in the minority here. Most people buy a computer and then take it to the store even if there's a minor issue. And Apple actually shines here. I have gotten my other laptop serviced - but only in unauthorized locations with questionable spare parts. With Apple, every non-tech savvy person I know has been able to take to an Apple store at some point and thereby extend the life.

That's why I believe having easily accessible service locations does more to device longevity than being user-serviceable.

(In comparison, HTC wanted 4 weeks to fix my phone plus 1wk either way in shipping time and me paying shipping costs in addition to the cost of repair. Of course, I abandoned the phone entirely than paying to fix it.)

We could actually test this hypothesis - if we could ask an electronics recycler on the average age of the devices they get by brand, we should get a clear idea on what brands actually last longer.

GPU workloads are very parallel. By throwing more transistors at the problem while lowering clock rates you can get pretty good performance even in a constrained power budget.
> I'm not paying $2k for a laptop below what I need as a developer, when <$2k from literally anyone else will get what I need.

That's perfectly fine, you don't have to use a MacBook if the value isn't there for you.

How do they get 200/400GB per second RAM bandwidth? Isn't that like 4/8 channel DDR5. 4/8 times as fast as current Intel/AMD CPUs/APUs?
(E.g. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/201837/... with 45.8GB/s)

Laptop/desktop have 2 channels.
High-end desktop can have 4 channels.
Servers have 8 channels.

How does Apple do that?
I was always assuming that having that many channels is prohibitive in terms of either power consumption and/or chip size.
But I guess I was wrong.

It can't be GDDR because chips with the required density don't exist, right?
when you get the 10% warning you pop the left ear out and charge it until the right ear dies. Then you put the left ear in and charge the right ear. 20 minutes later you put them both in again. Easy peasy.

For web dev it works very well, android development no clue, c# is primarily a windows-oriented development environment so probably not so great. For devops, well.. Mac is a linux-esque environment, it'll be fine?

I have the m1 air and the big advantages are the absurd battery life and the extremely consistent very high performance.

It's always cold, it's always charged, it's always fast.

I believe you can get both faster cpu and gpu performance on a laptop, but it costs a lot in battery life and heat which has a bigger impact on usability than I believed before getting this one.

Might want to add, this is my first ever apple laptop. I've always used Lenovo laptops, ran mostly windows/linux dual boots on my laptops and desktops over the years.
I think everyone thought that was just over the horizon for a long time, and it never quite got there. My monitor is my dongle for everything, but I'm lucky in that I didn't have a monitor before the USB-C everything era.
This is roughly in line with what I expected, given the characteristics of the M1. It's still very power efficient and cool, has more CPU cores, a lot more GPU cores, wider memory controller, and presumably it has unchanged single core performance.

Apple clearly doesn't mean these to be a high performance desktop offering though because they didn't even offer an Mac Mini SKU with the new M1s.

But what I'm really curious about is how Apple is going to push this architecture for their pro desktop machines. Is there a version of the M1 which can take advantage of a permanent power supply and decent air flow?
Apple does like to keep models at certain price points. Just look at the 2nd generation MacBook Air, which stayed with us, un-retina screen and all, from years after the MBP and MacBook, to hit to $999 price point.

A 13" M1 MBP allows them to hit a $1299 price point and say "starting at $1299" when speaking about their pro laptop line.
If they can (really) deliver Desktop performance, then they are (really) cheap. There is nothing on the market that can deliver such performance that isn't desktop. But the jury is still early on that one, I'd wait for the reviews.

My thought is that it’s a pro laptop. Does it really need a built-in webcam? How many people never use them or even tape over them? I could live without it, and if it’s actively providing a detriment, that’s all the more reason to get rid of it.

> which renders a 2880x1800 frame and does a non-integer scale down to the panel's native resolution, trading sharpness for extra space.

This isn't how it really works. It doesn't render 2880x1800 frame and scale down, it will just render at the resolution given for the size of the widgets desired. Any modern GPU can do that, the only time down scaling is needed is if you have a higher resolution bitmap that you want rendered at a lower resolution (or you can scale up, anyways, modern applications should not be rendering fixed sized bitmaps to ever need to do that).

Edit: never mind, that is how it actually works. I never realized MacOS never got true resolution independence like WPF.
> Based on the numbers it looks like the M1 Max is in the RTX 3070-3080 performance territory.

The slides are comparing to a laptop with a 3080 Mobile, which is not the same as a normal RTX 3080. A desktop 3080 is a power hungry beast and will not work in a laptop form factor.

The 3080 Mobile is still very fast as a benchmark, but the full-size 3080 Desktop is in another league of performance: https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-mobile-GeForce-RTX-3080-is...

Still very impressive GPU from Apple!
To add to this, the accumulation of wealth and power is literally written into the very concept of capitalism. That's the capital the name refers to. Even Adam Smith wrote about ways to mitigate it, so it's always been there.
A single EC2 instance might not cut it. The AWS Managed NAT GW scales up to 45Gbps. They can also support 55k connections to a single destination (multiply that by the number of permutations on your triple - IP addr, destination port, protocol).

If you have single EC2 instance doing the job of a managed NAT, another equivalent EC2 instance is enough to max it out.

You may need a fleet of instances if your requirements are large. Which means that you have a bunch of operational aspects to worry about and the NAT Gateway calculation starts to become more palatable (once you start adding the human cost of maintaining your own, etc).

Pricing is still outrageous though. AWS has economies of scale that we don't.

Just being insurance doesn't mean much. What the above comment said is true, many doctors don't take Medicaid or severely limit how many patients they have with it. Doctors aren't required to take any/all insurances. Medicaid is avoided because of low reimbursement rate combined with more litigious patients.
You may be equating "audited financials" with the mountain of regulations banks need to comply with that go way beyond their financial performance.
How is it disingenuous - defined in my dictionary as not candid - when we know precisely which chips they are comparing against?

They are giving Mac laptop users information to try to persuade them to upgrade from their 2017 MacBook Pros and this is probably the most relevant comparison.
> Downside to this approach is that you need a starting point like "should I be a Python dev or Ruby dev" which mostly is asked by new fresh starters - and my answer is pick one, if it sticks and is your 80% (even if it is not really) continue if not go for another one.

I remembering hearing in a podcast something like "If there's a fork in the road, pick it and stick with it. You'll end up in a better place two years later than if you just spend two years weighing the options. And if you stick with something for a period of time, it's usually easier to switch to something else than if you didn't do anything."
My meaning was that there is no other therapeutic agent available for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis. But you're quite right, there must be another reason.

If I had to hazard a guess, it may be the market isn't attractive enough for competitors to establish a national supply chain. Or there's some sort of collusion at play.

To me this represents further evidence why public goods should be left out of the hands of private for profit organizations for whom disease is simply an externality to capitalize on.
I would be incredibly happy with this but I'm not sure it is possible. I certainly hope so!
The previous "high end" 13" Macbook Pro started at $1800 so this is a $200 increase for larger higher resolution 120Hz screen, much faster performance, and all the ports they took out years ago.
> Meanwhile... the lawyers still haven't found out about Usenet, which indeed still exists and is a veritable haven of piracy.

They have it on their radar, but compared to torrents Usenet is so cumbersome to use it's definitely not a large enough market to waste resources on.
Your comment got me thinking, and I checked the math. It turns out that light takes ~0.2 ns to travel 2 inches. But the speed of signal propagation in copper is ~0.6 c, so that takes it up to 0.3 ns. So, still pretty small compared to the overall latencies (~13-18 ns for DDR5) but it's not negligible.

I do wonder if there are nonlinearities that come in to play when it comes to these bottlenecks. Yes, by moving the RAM closer it's only reducing the latency by 0.2 ns. But, it's also taking 1/3rd of the time that it used to, and maybe they can use that extra time to do 2 or 3 transactions instead. Latency and bandwidth are inversely related, after all!

I've never heard a rumor of anything approaching "Apple plans to get rid of Face ID". I don't see how it's possible, at least until fingerprint readers under the screen are 100% reliable, and even then. The only time I've seen people complaining about Face ID is when wearing masks (though pairing it with an Apple Watch fixes that).
He has a lot of greatest hits (Dandelion Wine, Fahrenheit 451, Martian Chronicles) but if you're looking for something different, I really enjoyed his murder mystery trilogy (Death Is a Lonely Business, A Graveyard for Lunatics, Let's All Kill Constance). They are all kind of loosely based on (and playfully parodying) the noir detective style, and a lot of fun.
This does not seem to be true, at least by any numbers I could quickly find. Seems like median net worth for retired folks is under $250k, net worth for 90th percentile folks is 1.25mm.

If you restrict to 65-69 age group, the median only shifts to about 270k, 90th percentile is a little under 2mm.

To get to 1mm net worth at that age group, you have to go up to about the 80 percentile.

It seems you are correct that the 90 percentile shifts a fair bit at retirement age (65-69 is peak net worth) but it doesn't effect the middle very much, and you have to be > 20% to catch that 1.25mm number at any age group.
Yeah I’ve had my pros for about 2 years now and I’ve clocked an obscene number of minutes of phone & zoom calls on them through the pandemic. Some days I was doing 12+ hours of calls on them.

The batteries last a bit over 3 hours and after all this time they’re still going strong. Except for handoff being janky, I’m delighted with them.

Im frankly confused with this announcement - it seems like they just rebranded AirPod pros as non-pro and called it a new device?
It is my hope that the regulators of NY-State continue to over-step their bounds, continue to believe their own rhetoric, and I will sit back and watch as NY-State ceased being the center of Finance in the US.

This is literally what they have always done and they don’t see a reason to stop
First, your question.

I was on the market for a TextMate replacement that worked both on Mac OS X (at work) and Linux (at home) so I searched far and wide and came up with a list of editors and IDEs, GUI and TUI. I approached all of them with the same strategy:

1. follow the introductory tutorials, if any,

2. if the first contact was promising, use it for a while, learning and configuring as I go,

3. move to the next editor/IDE in the list.

For some, I gave up after half an hour, for others it went on for a few weeks, but I wanted to give all of them a fair chance so I eventually ended up at the bottom of the list, with Vim and its weirdo reputation.

So I did `$ vimtutor` and I was instantly hooked. As instructed, I graduated to the user manual which I stupidly rushed only to fall into the blogosphere trap and its many "here is my setup" posts. The winner was clear at that point and, after wasting a couple months trying to shoehorn my TextMate workflow, I finally decided to throw my `.vim` through the window and learn Vim properly this time, with the user manual.

Two months after that I was finally able to replace TextMate with Vim and I have never looked back.

Second, thoughts on learning Vim.

- Random online snippets, quick tips and tricks, tweets, etc. are useless because they lack context. They are also wrong very often.

- Using it right away for work is a bad idea because it forces you to copy other people's config and install lots of plugins that hide Vim and ultimately prevent you from learning it properly.

- Learning/using Vim has nothing to do with muscle memory. This is a common misconception that leads to rote learning and, since Vim has hundreds of commands, the use of flawed ready-made cheatsheets _and_ the looking for ways to bypass that horrifying learning curve.

- A flight simulator is not a plane and a tool-for-learning-vim-that-is-not-vim is not Vim. There are very good reasons for doing part of one's learning on a flight simulator but learning Vim in Vim is as free and safe as it gets so there is no point learning it via a third party tool.

Third, thoughts on your project.

There is no _need_ for anything else than `$ vimtutor` and `:help user-manual`.
PCI is quite power hungry when it works on full trottle.

The seemed power efficiency when PCIE was going 1.0 2.0 3.0 ... was due to dynamic power control, and link sleep.

On top of it, they simply don't haul memory nonstop over PCIE anymore, since data going to/from GPU is simply not moving anywhere.
Get a MacBook Air then?
Hardware people are crafty, they find ways to transfer and combine working parts. The glass replacement(keeping the original LCD) I got for the 6S is not a procedure provided by Apple. Guess who doesn’t care? The repair shop that bought a machine from China for separating and re-assembly of the Glass and LCD.

Screen replacement is 50$, glass replacement is 30$.

iPhone 13 is very new, give it a few years and the hardware people will leverage the desire of not spending 1000$ on a new phone when the current one works fine except for that broken part.
>"Guilty until proven innocent" is exactly how "DMCA safe harbor" is designed.

Google doesn't do DMCA: Under DMCA the alleged copyright owner whose alleged rights were allegedly violated has to file a notice and then the alleged infringer gets to file a counter notice. Then the alleged owner can either sue the alleged infringer or fuck off. The hoster - google here - would avoid liability from either direction as long as they followed the procedure, and processed valid notices and counter-notices in a timely fashion.

DMCA notices and the takedown process are NOT "guilty until proven innocent", they are "guilty until the claim of innocence", which is a big distinction.

Google is actually in violation of the DMCA when they let alleged copyright owners decide on appeals and issue "copyright strikes" as the DMCA mandates they have to stay neutral and follow the notice/counter-notice procedure. What they do here is editorial oversight on behalf of the alleged copyright owner and against the alleged infringer, which goes against the DMCA and probably Section 230.

Google doesn't care that they are in violation, because they are TooBigToGetSued by the content creators they host (well, most of them), but they are in danger of getting sued by the RIAA/MPAA and big media, and know chances are good big media would find a jury that makes the wrong decision in a lawsuit.

They also want big media to put their stuff (from music videos to movie trailers) on their platform, so they play extra nice with them, even gave them their quasi-universal internet-age DRM (widevine) they craved so much, along with ContentId.
what would "leading crypto" look like?

(genuine question that i've thought about)
Have bad actors set up automation to watch all commits to all Github repositories to detect mistakes like this? Otherwise, how can the mistake be exploited in 5 minutes?

And if so, maybe Github should deploy some countermeasures? Like, block the uploading of private keys unless they are explicitly whitelisted by the repository owner?

I think there is a similar argument to be made for commits that contain e.g. database credentials or private data.
I assume it was a reference to the 737 Max..
No support for PCI devices at the moment, but I believe it's planned for some point in the future.
To be specific, 14" or 16" Macbook Air closer to the $999 of the 13".

I guess that would cannibalise sales of the Macbook Pro, but the M1 Macbook Air is totally sufficient for regular browsing and officework.
Exactly. This goes also for legitimate copyright owners if there's a good case for fair-use. Content-ID claims (or DMCA notices) are free, so they just send them out with little review. But they are sure to take a second look before committing to a $10k-100k court battle. They have much more resources than you, but their resources are still limited and better spent on cases that are clear cut, or on sending more DMCA notices.
The cool thing about these macs is that apple is starting to decouple the processor from the type of Mac. You can choose between a pro and a max . If they do this for it’s whole product line it would be interesting.
It would be nice if they could have squeezed one in again so you don't need to pull out a dongle/hub every time you want to connect a "legacy" USB device when traveling. But not really a realistic wish and wouldn't have wished they took anything out to accommodate it.
