The gen2 was scoring only half an M1 in performance. With the bloat of windows on top this is going to be horrible.

This is me. I signed up for github in 2010 and have zero activity.

Lenovo M600 Tiny. It's nuclear bomb proof, runs on virtually no watts, has no fan and runs headless linux fine. Also supports proper storage like M2 SATA disks and doesn't have the horrible power supply issues you tend to get from

That’s not true in our sector. We’re very industry specific and everyone shitposts on twitter and follows everyone else.

I learned recently that the customers kick you in the balls once per minute either way. Loudly on Twitter.

I tend to use “HP” style decimal floating point types if accuracy is required. The mantissa is stored as one base 10 digit per 4 bits (BCD encoded). A 64 bit int gives 12 digits of precision and 3 digit mantissa plus flags. This can be scal

I suspect it’ll go down the toilet again the moment China kicks off at Taiwan properly. Not because TSMC but sanctions and supply chain issues.

I suspect the biggest TCO item for this, at least in Europe would be the energy costs over 5y. Even worse if you chuck an RTX in there.

Well actually on that we asked. They advised us not to use it now or in the future regardless of any outcome because at any point of litigation it muddies the water on what is clean-room innovation and what is not. While a change might be d

That depends only on who has the most expensive lawyers. One thing in life is never to get into a position where you need to defend yourself against this scenario which is why I would never even consider using the tool.

It’s even worse than that really because it only takes a small slip into some of the cloud-native services and that adversarial relationship is entirely unavoidable and unportable and you are stuck with it. Which is exactly what is demanded

Core services are fine. All the problems are on things they built on their core infrastructure proposition.

We have the $15k enterprise contract.

It's terrible for you every time. we leak $100k a month into Bezos' pockets on a regular basis. Sleep well.

If it's any consolation it's not much better on the AWS side. We are currently waiting for them to fix something which they recently broke but some dude is on holiday. I suspect he's the only dude who knows how it works. Even

I can't say they got cloud or github right. Both are major friction points for a lot of companies I know. Particularly O365, OneDrive and Intune are complete administrative nightmares riddled with bugs. Even Office on the desktop is a

It's not really just my view. You might be a lucky outlier. I get to sit on a lot of calls with tens of large and small organisations who have serious troubles on a daily basis. I've seen some real horrors out there. Independently

Yeah it's the same in my industry for some parts of it as well. But that doesn't mean it works . It's literally only there because it is entrenched. A lot of the time it doesn't work and has an extremely large support c

100% agree with this as a Mac user. But the mouse, if it doesn't work and it says it does on the box then that is the vendor issue.

I doubt it. Most of the Mac users I know came from iOS and aren’t developers. The iOS developer community is a tiny portion of apple users.

Do you actually use macOS? It actually works. Unlike most of windows these days. There is near parity across all platforms on all apple apps and functions. I can transition from any device to another one smoothly. People don’t care about th

Microsoft is only early to VR because it universally screwed everything else up. Wrapping all this text around it and marketing bullshit is disingenuous. What is the truth is that they had all the opportunities and staff and squandered both

I would 100% completely rule it out in survival situations. The probability of making a contact and that contact being of use is very low. There are far more productive uses of your time than bashing brass. I say that as a regular QRP CW op

Agree with this. Helm is a great tool for making really terrible abstractions over well designed native configuration. I either end up having to fork charts and fix or literally just writing my own half the time. It can be used for good and

Annoying edges perhaps but as far as reliability goes, this MacBook Pro is the most reliable thing I've had since windows 2000 on an old Intel 440BX board. That's been a hell of a long journey of crap.

Yeah I had this problem as well with my old Dell and Windows. Also weird problems with high DPI displays and window sizes. If I unplugged one monitor, the other one would drop for a second and then the menu bars would shrink on the still pl

Not OP but I agree it's quite a nice bit of kit. Shame they shoved so many turds on top. Worth reading the wikipedia architecture page as a launch point for info on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of
