Or you’re not considering that the Windows laptops have significantly larger battery sizes. The review units for PTL are up to 50% larger battery capacities than the Mac’s they’re being compared to.

Well there were still the historical arm32 chips in their iOS devices, but until recently the watches were a cursed arm64_32 (or something like that) which is arm64 with 32 bit pointers iirc.

Again, the Panther Lake devices here are the top end of Panther lake comparing against the base level M5. See the chart here for what the intel SKUs are: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3023938/intels-core-ultra-se

Which still come out behind other than multi core, while using substantially more power. Those panther lake comparisons are from the top end PTL to the base M series. If they were compared to their comparative SKUs they’d be even further be

How would you hide that? Unless you’re assuming nobody ever has to try and fix bugs or audit code to find it, and there’s some kind of closed off area of code that nobody thinks is suspicious. Or you maintain a complete second set of the ap

There’s definitely areas where I agree Swift is more ergonomic. Parameter defaults, and null short circuiting are two of them. I find writing Swift is faster for me, and it’s easier to learn for people than Rust. Also Swift interop with oth

What hardware are you using? My Mac’s seem to handle large amounts of avif just fine without chugging.

How do we know those people have both a system with hardware support and a decoder that uses it. Without specifics of hardware it’s hard to know.

1. How does one say that webm is the de facto standard? It’s common but not so ubiquitous that it can’t be replaced easily. 2. AVIF is a better codec with better compression, bit depth and hardware decode support.

macOS on Apple Silicon officially supports running iOS apps directly. There’s no magic trick to it really from the developer side, Epic just ticked the opt-out to prevent it being available on the App Store.

It’s not perfect but if that’s your standard, then that cuts a lot of stuff from both languages :-) I’m not sure why annotations are a bad thing to you. They’re not necessarily swift specific and could benefit other bindings too, and their

There are definitely languages that work well with UIs. I’m not sure how you can make that clear cut a statement? C++ and Python map extremely well to Qt which is one of the predominant UI frameworks. ObjC maps really well to AppKit/UI

I disagree that rust can be as ergonomic. I’ve been writing rust for longer than Swift , and there’s a lot of niceties in Swift. Default parameters, null shortcircuits, lazy static initializers, computed properties, ease of binding to C++,

He specifically says he likes Rust, just not for GUI app development. He also puts that on himself rather than blaming the language. Which is not a hot take by any means, even in the rust community. A lot of UI based app paradigms don’t map

Swift is pretty good. As a language, I really like it. It feels very much like a cousin to Rust with a few tradeoffs to be more ergonomic. The standard library is pretty good but the extended ecosystem is not as strong outside of Apple plat

I think it’s a reasonable default if Microsoft weren’t able to access your encryption keys. Apple has that figured out. Your keys can be stored in your cloud synced keychain but only you can decrypt that keychain. That’s why they couldn’t h

Why would you expect Apple to have the keys? They famously fought the FBI on the grounds of not having access to the keys themselves. Good engineering practices say that you shouldn’t even find yourself in the position of having the keys. A

Your question as stated is exactly why there are so many pointer types. Is it a pointer to raw memory or a pointer to a type? Does it have a known size? Should it be allowed to be changed? These are all questions you have to answer in C but

If you’re talking about embedded inside DNG, then you’re talking roughly a maximum of 14 bits. There’s not really much capture beyond that , whereas this + the other formats I listed provide 16 bits. That’s quite a significant jump

This is pretty cool. There’s a dearth of higher bit depth formats that are also compressed. EXR and TIFF are really the only ones most people use but this opens up a fairly interesting option now for use cases where size is important. Does
