Thanks for doing the math.

No stuttering, no input lag, we must have had different machines. Native apps were super responsive.

I know this very well, still both have similarities to JS and eventually, C++ evolved from C. No need to be snarky.

> it is within ~10% This is just so off. Look at Geekbench's figures for a 865 Plus, add 35% on top and you are still not close to an A14 and miles away from the M1.

Windows RT isn't too bad. You wouldn't actually notice a difference. A decade ago (or less), I had the first RT-based Surface running native Word processing a 300-pages PhD paper, it was running buttersmooth and cool, all the time

OT: I recently learned C++ after doing JS/TS for years. This was an eye-opener because there were so many similarities which JS inherited from C/C++. Plus stuff I've seen in other languages and environments. After this, I tho

Since the 855 or even earlier, Qualcomm had always a notebook derivate SoC (which were not much faster than the mobile phone version). However, the M1 is now the reference for any ARM licensee and anyone at Qualcomm's scale should have

This. Exactly my gut feeling and the press is not questioning anything just rephrasing press releases from Qualcomm, writing about so important details like why the name 888 and so on. Qualcomm and Intel should come out asap and tell what t

For days, I'm reading about the 888, its Cortex X1 and a 35% uplift and that it's coming (some day) but I couldn't find a single word about how it will perform against the M1. Even Anandtech dares to bring four, full pages of

Caching was nice but nicer is not to have to download the fonts, not to mkdir public/fonts, not to copy the files to that dir, not to match the file location in the css file and to have a CDN included for sites which I didn't empl

VS Code is very good at connecting to remote servers/wsls/etc being just a dumb client. I still use VS Code next to all my terminal apps because some stuff is unmatched in VS Code, eg Pythons Interactive Console paired with a Jupy

Just checked out Sway's intro video, this looks promising! Would you mind to elaborate if Sway is ready for being a daily driver + how is multi-monitor support (all monitors same dpi and also with different dpi levels).

Yes, I also found "kludge together a bunch of..." a bit misleading since this atomic nature of *nix is why we use it.

Yeah hidpi on Linux is pretty underwhelming and it seems that nobody really cares. I think Windows needed years to match macOS and is now on the same level. Still Windows notebooks barely have more then 200dpi unless there are from the prem

Tried so many times to get into emacs (3 or 4 times) and once into org mode. It unfortunately never made click despite my love for any kind of terminal app and also competition in this space. Just emacs lisp would be the reason to switch

by desmap 6y ago
Nice to hear and need to try it again. I stopped using it 2017. Another gripe I had with i3 was that setting up proper hidpi support was a mess, maybe this improved as well. I know that the latest Ubuntu got here quite well, allowing also 2

I posted in another comment more about my view on i3. However, compared to tmux it also lacks the capability to be used via ssh. At the end of the day there are not really comparable but yeah, I prefer to work with tmux+nvim on a *nix envir

by desmap 6y ago
No, you need that plugin/script but installation and usage is rock-solid, I am using this now for years. FWIW, I also never use nvim's built-in terminal because this setup with tmux is so fast and feels super natural. Hint: you ha

A naïve question: Couldn't other ARM licensees just integrate RAM into the SoC like Apple did and come easily close to M1' performance? With easily I mean in a doable manner within 1-2 years. I know there are more tricks/magi

Just the combination of tmux and nvim with shared ctrl-hjkl between both nvim and tmux panes is so buttersmooth and no other setup has given me such an seamless interoperability between an editor and an OS. What this means: you can switch

I was one or two years on Arch with i3 and all was great except when an app (eg a browser or Inkscape) opens a dialogue/modal/popup or whatever and this got stretched over the entire pane, yuck. AFAIK this could be configured some

I switched to this setup years ago and I regret all the decades before I've spent with GUIs. One question though, how do I get the floating terminals?

Ok thanks and this is really quite a bummer.
