   Ironically HP has a machine called the G4 in the Z8 lineup, though it uses a Xeon chip. Btw, I’m surprised you like the Z8 series. The single core and sum compute with total of cores looks like a terrible value (eg when looking at various b

   I’ll never forget this neckbeard older dude in an algorithms course with me in College “C is the only good language. And you should use it for everything.” “Even web servers that power apps?” “How could you consider anything else?” During t

   A lot of this (eg especially the in house stuff) comes from Google starting over a decade before twitter. OSS just wasn’t as good then A lot of OSS now is from folks that had experience at google or were aware of what was going on there — o

   No. Because they have developed one of the most important languages of the last ten years, typescript; have exceptional developer tools; and employ some of our era’s most meaningful theorists in computer science and economics.

   Apple is increasingly becoming a deeply corrupted institution. It will not have a respected legacy in 5-10 years.

    Well yes, of course. The question is if one can create a reasonably ergonomic lisp that transpiles to Rust. I'd tentatively imagine the borrow checker could make this difficult.

    I would be glad to use Mac OS X applications and OS with a radically different windowing system like i3wm.

    nix home manager is very good. The idea is that instead of creating a bunch of dotfiles and having to read a bunch of documentation, one declaratively states which features they want, say, for zsh or vim or git or xdg, etc; and then home-ma

    Surprised no one has mentioned nix home manager, which deals with dotfiles in an incredibly elegant way. https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager

    Just tested this on my 13 pro and I got 349. An incredibly silly benchmark which is highly contingent on the browser. Appears to benchmark running a bunch of TODO js implementations in an iframe.

    Off topic, but I’m really interested in the opposite. ie alternative desktop environments to Mac OS X’s WindowServer.

    X for wire protocol is truly awful compared to chrome Remote Desktop. I’ve been eager to use it and have played with all manner of settings, but it’s very slow pretty much no matter what. Apparently it sends many more frame updates — ie is

    Good grief, Elon can be incredibly dishonest. Although building an agile robot is impressive, training is the hard problem at this point, and I have little faith in his ability to execute safely based on Tesla’s “FSD” tech.
