I haven't followed this. What plans does Microsoft have? All I know is that they pulled out of PHP recently after supporting its development for quite a few years.
Yikes. My 2017 MBP is bent and it's always on a flat surface. I shudder to think about keeping it on something like those blocks :-)
At that point I might prefer a touch screen that can be disabled. The extra real estate for touchbar with the minimal functionality didn’t make sense to me
It's likely that the upcoming Bitcoin ETF was approved because it is based on Bitcoin futures [1], and since there is already an established regulatory framework for those, under the jurisdiction of the CFTC, it was allowed.

The CFTC also said, in 2019, "virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, have been determined to be commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA)" [2]. They also fined Kraken for offering margin to clients, but "failing to register as a futures commission merchant" [3].

It appears the SEC also has jurisdiction over certain cryptos that have been determined to be securities as well, since they have raised several cases for those [4, 5, 6, 7].

The IRS also considers virtual currencies to be property [8].

Based on this, there is already regulation and asset classification already going on, although I do think it would be great to have more clarity and agreement between the different regulating bodies, regarding crypto, in the US. For now, maybe it's just that some cryptos aren't considered securities until they are called out to be, and the rest would be considered commodities, at least until we hear more about this from regulators.

Dell XPS laptops not only pull of a bezel-less design, but also fit a webcam with infrared component for Windows Hello face unlock in there too. Apple has a notch with no Face ID.
> I don't see you proposing any better, more aesthetically pleasing solution, only complaining.

How about not having a notch, like literally every other Apple (and non-Apple) laptop? Is that even conceivable?
Bezos can spin up a greenfield cloud team and specifically target the new competition if he needs to.

AWS has nothing to fear making 45 billion last year.
What software is missing? I figured the AMD G-series CPUs used the same graphics drivers and same codepaths in those drivers for the same (Vega) architecture.

My impression was that it was still the hardware holding things back: Everything but the latest desktop CPUs still using the older Vega architecture. And even those latest desktop CPUs are essentially PS5 chips that got binned out.
Interesting. Can you detail more about what you mean by privatized / corporate socialism?
It's unlikely the reason for that on the dell is the design of the bezel, most likely they just cheaped out or got a discount on several year-old parts.
No experience with Firecracker specifically, but if squashfs images are sufficient, one should be able to build a tar archive of the filesystem without root (where all the files have the correct owners, mode, etc.) and then convert it to squashfs using `tar2sqfs` in https://github.com/AgentD/squashfs-tools-ng, also without root - I've done something like this to create squashfs images in constrained build environments, which worked well.
Video encode and decode have been GPU and integrated GFX features for quite a long time now.
This is not scientific so not exactly what you are looking for, but I think I can say from personal experience that not being touched/held as an infant can and often does have horrible outcomes.

I volunteered in an orphanage in eastern europe. The staff did the best they could, but they were severely underfunded. It was the best they could do to feed, change diapers and take care of the most acute medical needs of the large number of infants in their care. Just holding them even for a brief amount of time often was not possible, though they did try the best they could.

The results were heartbreaking. Some children did not speak, others constantly cried, most seemed "OK" but had emotional problems that expressed as aggression or other developmental issues. Growing up in an orphanage is never easy, but you could usually instantly tell if a child was born in the orphanage or came there later (even as young as one year with parents made a huge difference).

It was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever experienced in my life, and even more than a decade later thinking about that orphanage makes me want to cry.

This is new to me! I'll try it out one of these days. Last time I dealt with this stuff bumblebee was still in use. There was also a hack to spawn a second hardware-accelerated X server.
as beautiful as the hardware is, I just cannot stomach buying another machine I can not comfortably replace the battery in. Either Apple returns to its earliest roots of making machines that are easy to repair, or find me and many others buying machines from the likes of Frame.work instead.
I learned vi in a time where there were not much else... ed maybe but that's not very good. I went about it by reading man-pages as dial-up was expensive.
> You're off in your calculation by 3 orders of magnitude, you meant to write 0.002 gigawatt, not megawatt.

No... decay heat is about .2% of nameplate power after a week. So for each megawatt of nameplate thermal power, you need to get rid of 2 kilowatts of heat-- or 0.8mL/second of water boiling off. "If decay heat is 0.2% of nominal power after a week, we need .8mL per nameplate MW (thermal) per second..." Was quite clearly said.

> put one end of the hose into the plentiful source of water that surely must be available next to a power plant, and the other one into the entrance for coolant, and start its pump. Pumping 1 liter/second is quite in range of firetruck pumps abilities.

This is pretty optimistic in many disaster scenarios and doesn't apply to all plants.

iPhone 13 Pro Hacked: Chinese Hackers Suddenly Break iOS 15.0.2
Well, perceptions change. In 2012, the aesthetic and design was state of the art. Felt I looked good every time I pull it out.

But I still use a 2012 MBP. Doesn't look sharp anymore, and its always been pretty heavy, but they keys work sooooo well, the touchpad is a miracle of engineering, 9 years of daily use and everything still works beautifully. And frankly, I mostly don't notice any lag still (though I might if I was doing video editing). And the port selection meant that I could hook up to just about anything with no hassle ... including ethernet. Wifi is still inferior to an ethernet port.
I'm okay with "var = new FooBarBazThingyWithALongName()" because I don't need to see the type name twice there.

In an IDE you can get the type annotation from the IDE over every inferred var type, but I don't like requiring an IDE to see that information and like it showing up in 'less' as well.
I know some of them let you see the undo history and let you pop (and maybe reorder items) that aren’t at the top of the stack.
I've been a Mac user since the 90s and a long time apologist for the Apple premium... I understand and have generally been totally fine paying for design, fit and finish, longevity, and attention to detail that's hard to come by elsewhere. That said, the absurd markups on storage and memory have always been REALLY aggravating to me, and were a factor in my decision to build a desktop machine instead of getting another Mac last year. It's not even a question of affordability, it just rubs me the wrong way. $400 for +16GB of RAM in 2021?? Nonsense.
I'm not going to deny that having them built in is better but I had a tiny case that fit my MBA power adapter, USB-C cable pocket wifi, and hub. Since I always needed the power adaptor and it's cable it wasn't hard to keep the hub with me.
This is a single device that I can plug MBP power adapter, mouse, and keyboard USB dongles into: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXMNF1X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...
Interesting, honestly didn't know that was a thing.

Is this the first macbook that's hit the 100WHr limit, or has this been a barrier previously?
But I mean like, that's it? No doubt there are gains to be made with a better battery, charging, cycling, cost and so forth. But without changing the regulations, a better battery can only get you more space, not higher capacity. Wild to consider.
They would make less money if they made the chip repairable. This doesn't have to make them evil. Apple being more profitable also means they can lower the cost and push the technological advancement envelop forward faster. Every year we will get that much faster chips. This is good for everyone.

This doesn't mean Apple's carbon footprint has to suffer. If Apple does a better job recycling old Macbooks than your average repair guy who takes an old CPU and puts in a new one in a repairable laptop then Apple's carbon footprint could be reduced. I remember the days when I would replace every component in my desktop once a year, I barely thought about recycling the old chips or even selling them to someone else. They were simply too low value to an average person to bother with recycling them properly or reselling them.
> Libfive is quite good to check out too

Lots of potential, but IMO not really usable for real world work.

For example, there isn't any (or I haven't found any) simple way to create a clean fillet between two complex surfaces other than blending them and hoping for the best.

Documentation of the API is lacking, except for a bunch of examples in scheme (not exactly the most popular language for CAD folks).

Python API exists, but documentation is ... reading the source code.

Finally, the implicit surface tessellation algos used in libfive are IMO somewhat unpredictable and getting them to produce precise shapes (which is something fairly desirable in mechanical engineering) is hard.
author here, I do think that's a reasonable choice of tech in general, but I won't be using most of those for Mach for various reasons:

* glm -> zig has native vector types with SIMD support and I think in the long-term these could be much nicer.

* bgfx is truly awesome, but I'm keen to is WebGPU for the reasons outlined in the post.

* imgui - I do think it's the best thing out there currently, but I have something up my sleeve for a much better UI library built around vector graphics and have done a lot of research in this area.
No, Dönitz got away with his unrestricted sub warfare order because the allied powers committed a war crime and hushed it up:

> Operating partly under the dictates of the old prize rules, the U-boat commander, Korvettenkapitän Werner Hartenstein, immediately commenced rescue operations. U-156 broadcast her position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, and were joined by the crews of several other U-boats in the vicinity.

>[...] En route, the U-boat was spotted by a B-24 Liberator bomber of the US Army Air Forces. The aircrew, having reported the U-boat's location, intentions and the presence of survivors, were then ordered to attack the sub.

>[...] The commanders of the Kriegsmarine were quickly issued the Laconia Order by Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz, which specifically forbade any such attempt and ushered in unrestricted submarine warfare for the remainder of the war.

>[...] During the later Nuremberg trials, a prosecutor attempted to cite the Laconia Order as proof of war crimes by Dönitz and his submariners. The ploy backfired and caused much embarrassment to the United States after the incident's full report had emerged.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconia_incident

It's also specifically not about genocide vs non-genocide but about legal vs. illegal orders. Just because you represent the US of A you cannot lie to the whole world to start a war. I mean, you can as evidenced by Powell, but a lot of people will spit on your grave for that.
They should charge litigators a fee that is non refundable for cases without merit. Problem solved.
I seriously doubt Adobe would bother maintaining Photoshop. Lightroom and Premiere Pro on Mac platform if it was tiny. I would not be surprised if it is a decent double digit percentage or something like 30%+.

Before Web Development and iOS Programming was a thing. They were the majority of professional Mac users.
> In the UK housing market, the availability of cheap credit in the buy-to-let market has driven the cost of a home up to levels of unaffordability for the average person.

Let's say you borrow at 0% interest and with zero down. And you take out an interest-only loan -- that's the loosest possible lending standard, right?

Still you would not pull the trigger and buy to let unless:

rent > interest + maintenance + cost of dealing with tenants.

That means that lax lending standards can at most drive the price of ownership up to the price of renting (but not really, since there are gaps between renters). At the same time, the more rental stock is added, the more rents fall, making housing cheaper in the area.

So I disagree that low mortgate rates can allow rental investment to create a bubble. Rental investment is the one place where you are guaranteed there isn't going to be a bubble, because they are approaching this as a cashflow decision.

Where you see bubbles is in people buying homes for themselves to occupy, so there is no sanity check to see if it pencils out our not in terms of rental cash flows.

So cheap credit can absolutely cause high prices as a result of owner-occupants, but not as a result of buy to let. When that happens, you see rental stock being taken out of the market and used for owner occupancy.

This is why nations with a large share of renters, like Germany, are also nations with the fewest housing bubbles. Housing bubbles are a phenomena for owner-occupants, because the value of living in a place is so subjective and can be devoid of actual incomes. Rent, on the other hand, must be paid with income.

Has anyone tried extremely graphically intense gaming on these yet, I actually would love to consolidate all of my computer usage to a single machine, but it would need to handle everything I need it to do. $2000 for a laptop that can replace my desktop, is not a bad deal.

> Not sure if it will be available, but 400GB/s is way too much for 8 cores to take up. You would need some sort of avx512 to hog up that much bandwidth.

If we assume that frequency is 3.2Ghz and IPC of 3 with well optimized code(which is conservative for performance cores since they are extremely wide) and count only performance cores we get 5 bytes for instruction. M1 supports 128-bit Arm Neon, so peak bandwidth usage per instruction(if I didn't miss anything) is 32 bytes.

Can anyone recommend a good guide to monads for people with a C/assembly background? I've always had trouble understanding functional programming topics until I could figure out how to implement them in C use a basic struct + function design. I still haven't found a good description of monads and I don't want to spend time learning Haskell so every time I read about monads, I try to understand them and give up after I find the guides uninformative.
The reason why is obvious, it just isn't for the consumer: Microsoft needs to significantly raise the support requirements going forward, without telling a bunch of people their now "current" computer is being dropped based on how old it's processor is. Windows 11 exists to offer a final support coda for a lot of old PCs that Microsoft doesn't want to maintain support for.

Also, banner features like Android app support aren't part of launch, so there's only minimal change currently.
I thought of distributing a node server, but it is going to non-sophisticated users who expect a EXE or DMG or tar.gz and a binary. Also, it interfaces with a wide range of system hardware, USB, VISA, serial ports, GPIB, etc. I tried to build a docker image, but that also was too complex for the end user, and it had some serious hardware issues with some USB devices.
What I miss the most in PHP is support for threading. Krakjoe did wonderful, unappreciated work with pthreads (the PHP extension). Sadly, that's no longer maintained.
The M1 Max is drool worthy but Mac gaming still sucks. Can’t really justify it given that I don’t do video editing or machine learning work.
My current fave type isn't listed: Hobby project to create (and use) some opensource tech that I want to exist and might help your career in the future.

Also I don't distinguish between A and C. Some seem more relevant than others but there's not much that I learn that I don't draw from in one way or another.
Air is already at the thermal limit range with the 8 core GPU, will probably have to wait until the next real iteration of the technology in the chip (M2 or whatever) which increases efficiency instead of just being larger.
I touch-type volume and brightness keys all the time. Back in the olden days I touch-typed function keys for debugging (F5 = continue, F6 = step over, etc).
>I was pretty sure you wouldn't have any criticism more nuanced than "FAKE NEWS," but it's nice to see it confirmed.

And as usual, you're wrong. You still haven't linked any study or non-yellow journalism that tries to objectively capture how "many" people are still mad at Joe Rogan.

>I provided a few links because you're apparently unable to use search engines.

A few links to fake news outposts that did not support your claim whatsoever. If you can't find a legitimate claim to your original statement, it can be dismissed outright. You still haven't found anything, and so you're claims are dismissed.
Interesting. You've invented something like the Optional Polya Tree [1], except from a bottom up instead of top down construction.

The stated resolution of the screen is 3024x1964. If you do the math, this basically amounts to a 3024x1890 16:10 display, with a 3024x74 extra display on top that is interrupted in the middle. Considering that the menu bar usually has empty space in the middle, isn't it a strict screen estate gain to move the menu to this extra display?

I mean, what would you have preferred, exactly? If they had stuck to a 3024x1890 display, no one would have had the slightest complain, but it would be unequivocally less than what we're getting. Again: the notch is located outside of the same 16:10 screen every other MBP has.

I agree that you get a lot, and that the new laptops are great. If I was going to be using this full time as my work computer I would get it, but as my personal/fun computer the upgrades don't make sense for me.

I can't wait for my work to upgrade me to one of these :)
Can't you buy a MBP 16" and connect it to whatever display you were going to connect your Mac Mini to?

That's just the implementation though, isn't it? In the language proper, the method still exists. The implementation just compiles it away.

Thicker top bezel is the only viable one. But just at a glance it looks like the bezel + notch height is about the same height as the current bezels. I don't really see either option as necessarily being better given that.

Having it stick out is a no-go because things sticking out of a laptop are at risk of breaking off.

External webcam is something extra to carry around and mount. That's even worse than a dongle.

I don't agree that a notch in the corner would be less obtrusive. And the lack of symmetry wouldn't do the appearance of it any favors.

Cameras at the bottom have been done before and they suck. They're called nose cams for a reason.
I couldn't recommend http://vimcasts.org/ enough. It's short and really well made, and fit within mobile screens. I wish there was something similar for Emacs!

I started learning Vim 2009 when an older and much more experienced colleague of mine was making funny comments about me using Notepad++. "Get a real text editor" he was saying. At the time, I never really thought about the need of learning a new text editor, specially one as old as Vim. Though to impress this colleague I decided to learn Vim, and demonstrate powerful Vim tricks that my colleague didn't know. This carried on into an obsession with Vim. Drew Neil, the author of Practical Vim book, and the maker of the Vimcasts, used to run a Vim Dojo in London circa 2013, and I found that to be a great source of learning Vimscripts and writing tests with Vim.

This could be hard to explain, but the more I learned Emacs the more I found better ways of doing the same Emacy thing in Vim.
Simply the 10% who own 89% of stocks influence the economy by exerting influence over those organizations they proportionately own.

A company's shareholders don't get explicit control over the entire economy or anything so absolute, they simply speak with whatever control they have over the private organizations that then, themselves, indirectly influence the economy.

I don't think 10% of America should literally have extra voting power in elections, and despite your allusion, they do not.

No matter how much you decry "money has influence in elections" people are free, in a democracy (as implemented by the US), to vote how they want. Any argument around, "People get manipulated" is a non-starter; as long as nobody is literally casting their ballots for them, they are free to choose to harm themselves. It's stupid of them[1], but that's democracy for you.

The DEC Alpha had SMT on their processor roadmap, but it was never implemented as their own engineers told the Compaq overlords that they could never compete with Intel.

> What Republic has had the most influence on the USA?

Not a republic, not technically, but the English Parliament, no doubt. Bicameralism, impeachment, an executive cabinet--these did not exist in the Roman Republic.

Of course, English democratic tradition was influenced by Rome's. As was America's. But it's a stretch to say the U.S. was "modeled" on the Roman Republic. It was a new system of government. (If one were to claim it was modeled on anything, it would have to be the English government.)
