Just a wishful thinking, but since this is an M1 and not the A14X (and 8c+8c+8/16GB setup used in MacBook Pro even), I'm hoping that Hypervisor.framework will come to an iPadOS in the next WWDC. Having something like macOS.app, or

The OP is referring to GPU passthrough setup[1], which passes through a GPU from Linux host to Windows guest (e.g. for gaming). This is done by detaching the GPU from the host and pass it to the VM, thus most setup requires two GPUs since o

I think the main usage of ISO 8601 was to represent a point in time in UTC for exchange, not a local time plus timezone. When a date such as 2021-02-26 18:38:00+0900 is provided, it did not meant 2021-02-26 18:38:00 in Asia/Tokyo, but

I think because it would defeat the portability of a timestamp because Asia/Tokyo isn't constant and you cannot lookup the offset without relying on external database that takes in ("2021-02-26 18:38:00", "Asia&#x2F

Also worth mentioning that UTM developers has been contribution patches to QEMU to get TCG (code emulation layer) to work under iOS / M1 Mac[1] as well (whereas I think TCG is still broken as of latest QEMU release due to mprotect[2]).

In SQLAlchemy, you can choose to use only the query builder without using the ORM part at all. The query builder in SQLAlchemy is very well documented[1] and its use without ORM has the same level of support as its ORM counterpart. SQLAlche

I think this is fundamental design difference between SQLAlchemy and ActiveRecord in general. SQLAlchemy uses Data Mapper pattern which does not necessary map 1:1 to the row in the database, so you have to deal with the whole (Object, Mappe

I've been using Cloudflare for a site that has around 400k requests per day on a Free plan (although I did buy a dedicated certificate and a domain from them) and Cloudflare has been very reliable to me except few hiccups in the past.

Ah, you're right. Now thinking back, I think it was how Homebrew reuse system libraries that make it a better experience than MacPorts at the time since it could cut over half of the building time (it prevent the situation where `port

I think what I meant was darwin failure doesn't block. Recently I had nomad breakage on -unstable caused by nvml support, which pulls in nvidia_x11, which pulls in linux_5_4, which of course not installable on darwin[1]. The maintainer

That's fair, but it's only affecting single user, while writable /usr/local affects all users. However most Mac users are single user, so the tradeoff makes sense in this context.

Those were one of the reasons, but I believe the biggest reason was MacPorts didn't install from binary archive and requires building everything from source in its early days (in the old BSD port tradition). Binary archives were added

Unfortunately, Nixpkg doesn't check buildability on Darwin when merging PRs, so things can break quite often on the nixpkgs-unstable channel (compared to nixpkgs-unstable on Linux). It's not hard to rollback, though, but it does m

Jordan Hubbard was involved in the creation of both FreeBSD Ports and MacPorts (DarwinPort), so it makes sense that it shares the BSD ways of doing things. His decision to use Tcl for MacPorts also came from his experience dealing with Make

MacPorts binary archives were added back in 2011 across all three architectures at the time (ppc, i386, x86_64). Some packages are still maintained for ppc even today.

Not only that, MacPorts also kept all versions installed even after upgrade unless it's explicitly uninstalled (port echo inactive / port uninstall inactive); suffix every binaries with versions by default (e.g. pip-3.8, ansible-3

That indeed could work, and it looks like Belkin's Thunderbolt 3 Express Dock HD[1] actually does this. Though in this case, Thunderbolt is limited to just 2 (1 for downstream and 1 for upstream). I guess the biggest benefit of USB 4 h

My understanding is that daisy chaining doesn't require a mixed USB and Thunderbolt signal, only Thunderbolt. Before USB 4, USB-C spec itself disallows hubs to passthrough an Alternate Mode and even Thunderbolt daisy chain also have to

This is mostly because Thunderbolt hub support was optional in Thunderbolt 3 spec, but mandatory in USB 4. Apple just added support for it in Big Sur.
