https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3339 says that rfc339 is a"profile of iso8601" -- shouldn't it be a true subset? Also, I read through that RFC several times and didn't find where it al

Metroid Dread is very good. It's way shorter, somewhat easier, more straightforward, and more expensive than Hollow Knight. Depending on how much time you have, all but the last of these can be pros.

That's also mentioned in the 10th paragraph of the linked post, and most of the post is about Tom's Diner from there on.

I thought the memory was one of the more interesting bits here. My 2-year-old Intel MBP has 64 GB, and 8 GB of additional memory on the GPU. True, on the M1 Max you don't have to copy back and forth between CPU and GPU thanks to integr

This is about the processors, not the laptops, so commenting on the chips instead. They look great, but they look like they're the M1 design, just more of it. Which is plenty for a laptop! But it'll be interesting to see what they

For me personally, they hit it out of the park -- except for the notch, which seems like a complete showstopper to me at first sight. Maybe it's not so bad in practice if games and full-screen videos keep that whole strip solid black?

I think the answer depends on "why do you want to learn?". The implicit answer to that question for this blog post seems to be "to advance your career". That's a fine answer, but not the only answer.

I don't like Facebook, but these "Facebook is declining" pieces have been appearing for 5 years now. FB (and Google) have made traditional news much less relevant, which is one possible explanation for why these articles keep

That sounds like a useful mental model. But it can't be quite right, can it? There aren't enough cores to do _all_ pixels in parallel, so how is that handled? Does it render tiles and compute all edges several times for this?

Beautiful. If you're just skimming, be sure to slow down and read the "Bodge Time" section.

Yes, it assumes a dysfunctional company that values profitability over keeping engs comfy. But every larger company I know of works like this, due to market forces I suppose.
