What? Android’s kernel is a pretty close derivative of upstream Linux while iOS’ kernel has almost nothing to do with any current BSD distribution.

A US trade deal is a symbolic and political victory but makes virtually no difference economically. I don’t think the UK government will calculate that prospect of one would outweigh losing ARM.

Both research and interventions for other public health issues are falling by the wayside, which is particularly devastating for the developing world.

Presumably because ARM’s ISA is more advanced and costs Apple basically nothing (I’ve heard it might be as low as six or seven figures for their architectural license).

That makes sense. I'm hoping it's going to be an early adopter problem that'll have been solved by the time the transition is deemed complete.

Would it would work under Rosetta 2 (Apple's x64 emulation/translation layer) until the aarch64/darwin ABI can be ported to GCC? Or is there a reason to assume it might not?

Apple has already said they will natively run every iOS app on the App Store unless devs opt out so I expect this does indeed mean literally native performance.

Yeah. Presumably more information will also trickle out from the developers who are using the DTKs.

I think it does both, but I'm not familiar with what Geekbench 5 actually does and whether it can be fully translated ahead of time. Regardless the translation doesn’t seem to be able to make use of both sets of cores.

To be fair they're both 8 core big.LITTLE processors but the Apple chip is running the benchmark under x86 emulation and thus isn't able to use asymmetric cores, only the four performance ones.

So there’s actually two types of touch and drag you can do. One is holding until the slider appears and then dragging, the other is flicking the icons left and right which causes single step increments. Discoverability certainly sucks for t

Safari uses WebKit and Nitro, Blink is a fork of WebKit and there has been a fair amount of divergence.
