WebGPU strikes me as the answer to that. Perhaps I am missing something?

Desktop computer have some advantages that the so-called i-devices lack even for tasks that are not computer-centric. The main one for me is the longevity of your data. It is connected to the control over your data you have in a desktop OS.

I am curious for one if the long peace is passing the test of time in the last two years. Not only the Russia-Ukraine war is threatening to spiral out, but also there has been a very bloody war in Ethiopia. We are not at WWII levels of warf

Tech history is full with product ideas that failed to take off for decades until they crossed the threshold of being actually nice to use In 2005 people would have predicted a flop for smartphones given the many failures of the like of App

Honestly how much does their political stance affect your work? Using a programming language is 99.9% technical work. As long as they don't go out of their way e.g. to make rustc compile your project wrong if you have files with polit

You probably meant Hamas. Hezbollah has much more advanced rocket capabilities and has just much more of them. While Hamas (and Islamic Jihad) rockets can usually be stopped by the Iron Dome, Hezbollah has orders of magnitude more of them a

Wonderful, the fact that it runs as expected in multi touch devices has not gone unnoticed!

Remember that's the Unesco who wrote this, and they have an anti-Zionist political skew. They make a point of separating "Modern Hebrew" from "Hebrew".

This is not the artifact the author is interested in since it is not written by a prisoner in a cell near Menasseh.

What about WebGPU? The only thing that I find unsatisfactory about it is that float64 (double) is not a standard type in WebGPU and it's not supported on Apple GPUs anyway.

Sure, but it doesn't hurt to warn people who have no experience with that

Nice but very dangerous for your eyes to work with these things. Here many people criticize C because of its "landmines". A laser pointed somewhere in the room that gets reflected until it gets to your eye can easily do permanent

The power button in the keyboard was a very elegant UI solution from Apple that required non-trivial electrical engineering solutions, and as we can see it even required some changes to the USB circuits. It is a testament to Apple commitmen

I am always amused by those kinds of etymologies where a word "gets back" to the language it came from or its more direct heir (Italian for Latin) after living in a different language. In Hebrew we have "tachless" that c

That's the option with the least headache. I believe there are other simulators too but they are much more specialized. With some hacking you can run all MacOS/MacOS X versions on x86, x64 and PPC from 8.6 to 13 if you have a x64

It was seriously considered by Apple as the successor of the classical MacOS but they got too greedy with the price and Apple went with a NextStep based OS. In all honesty BeOS had no leverage because they were so committed to build the suc

Too cynical. The author is one of the best experts on macOS (on the level of Jonathan Levin) and their utilities are geared towards understanding the OS, not so much as really doing something commercially viable

Octopoda is the Greek plural of octopus, it's not a Latin word that goes -i. But as an English word octopuses is fine too.

All of that is because of their monopoly. If people had a choice of good search engines available they would pick the ones with good results. The issue is that it is very difficult and expensive to create a good search engine ex novo. Maybe

We developers love so much to learn computer stuff that we want to do it even when we don't need to. I worked on data science, computational science, some system engineering and embedded projects. I tried Rust on all of them but it was

Yes the point where people have a say is: - state -> elections - corporations -> competition There are many possible scenarios in both cases where the interest of the people becomes irrelevant because of corruption, cartels, etc...

Could you elaborate on that? What do you mean that the lasers could require more energy? Is it that in a specific volume they got X EM energy coming in from the laser and Y thermal energy coming out, with Y>X BUT the electricity consumpt

Windows as a curated platform is a lost case at this point. They probably don't make enough money from it to justify investment. Their market is the enterprise world where they have a lock in, plus gamers and PC users who cannot afford
