Was expecting a bit more than a handful of paragraphs and three tests from this article.
- dylan604 6y agoI'm sure there are some around that would prefer this bit of terse review. There are less words in this tech review than in most "when I was a kid, mom would make us this" type of story before you can ever get to the actual recipe.
- combatentropy 6y agoI think he wanted more content, more tests, not more words.
- wait_a_minute 6y agoDitto, this seems like clickbait to route us to Yet Another Blog.
- nemothekid 6y agoFor anyone who doesn’t know who the author is, he has written a ton of high performance code, the most notable being simdjson, fast_float and roaring bitmaps. His performance posts are usually very insightful on things that are usually noise in other contexts (like division). Not excusing the post, but the author has a history of interesting articles
- wait_a_minute 6y agoI don't see why this justifies downvoting me, when I have no idea who this person is and their only submission I've seen is extremely scant on anything befitting the title of their post.
- higerordermap 6y agoI don't think the person who submitted it is the original writer.
- nemothekid 6y agoFWIW, you weren't downvoted when I responded to your post.
- 1-6 6y agoHe could have copy/pasted some of his code on Github as 'filler'
- STRML 6y agoPeople on HN still want to talk about the M1. It's just such an exciting product. So this will still sit on the front page for a while, despite the relatively terse source material.
- Yetanfou 6y agoIt is more of an interesting trend than it is an "exciting product". Once upscaled ARM processors and/or SoCs become available for use in other- or non-branded products it will become truly exciting as that will open up for breaking the AMD64 hegemony in the server and PC spaces. They will be supported by Linux, Windows and others which is essential for the viability of a new platform.
- higerordermap 6y agoYep, given the URL :)
