To my understanding (please correct if wrong!) it's not only drivers, it's most of a BSD-style kernel that XNU runs in the same memory space as Mach. I'm not sure what difference that makes in practice versus the more convent

Same. I often take work from my work-provided 2015 MacBook Pro to my personal 2017 just for the keyboard. I didn't like the 2017 at first, but after a bit of using it, the 2015 feels sluggish, squishy, and effortful.

The problem is you'd end up with almost the same underutilization in a scenario where the "core" was provided by one device -- for the big desktop setup, for example, you'd still need a large display, power supply, input

And that Apple is heavily pushing the HEIF/HEVC formats in ways that provide similar image quality with lower storage uses.

This seems certain to be related to integration of UIKit-on-macOS ("Marzipan") apps. (UIKit has never had subpixel antialiasing.)

my impression is that the main benefit of bitcode is that it allows Apple to rebuild apps for the purposes of fixing compiler backend bugs and perhaps introducing improved micro-optimizations for newer CPUs generations within the same arch

we are in a paroxysm of #metoo without ever bothering to ask how we got here or how to fix it These things are being constantly discussed.

100% agreed - it's exactly the same pattern as other tools. Write it in the most simple/obvious/maintainable way; then, if you have a performance issue (quite rare IME when building something that doesn't obviously need

The Z80 was a contemporary of MOS Technology’s 6502, and like that chip, it stood out not only for its elegant design but also for being dirt cheap (about US $25). Anybody got a graph of historical 6502 vs Z80 prices? EDIT: Some previous

I can't believe I've never considered just how valuable it would be in these scenarios. Another reminder about how vast our blind spots (and those of us tech workers' so-often-not-very-diverse teams) can be. If I were spendin

The downvotes are probably because it's phrased like a race-essentialist statement, a type of statement that many people are very wary of (rightly, imo!). As you point out, there's a good chance it wasn't intended that way.
