Why are Intel GPUs designed in such a way that typical GPU languages don’t fully exploit it? Is the new Xe architecture still SIMD?

Sync for Reddit allowed you to map volume buttons to thread up/down. That was super convenient and fast. Unfortunately, it seems Apple does not look to such features kindly.

Isn’t it great that there are many options on the market fitting that description? Even from this very company!

Would you be willing to explain how you can justify offering this for free? I’ve subbed to the patreon, but that’s less than a drop in the bucket compared to the ~$10k you say this month will cost.

They’ve swapped out the butterfly switches for more conventional scissors. They’ve also added back a hardware ESC for all models and never added a touchbar to the Air.

If Apple wants to move fast, maybe it would be disadvantageous to have developers hyper optimize for a specific μarch?

i.reddit.com and old.reddit.com are both sorta ugly, but fast enough.

I’m glad moz://a was chosen. I can’t imagine any of the other options aging as well.

Is that not their implication?

Does optimizing for a single system really improve performance significantly in general purpose computing benchmarks like SPEC? IIRC, the M1 also does fairly well with virtualized Linux.

It is a slightly modified 8cx.

The SQ1 is practically identical to Qualcomm's 8cx.

GitHub’s dark mode is actually one of my favorite implementations. I hope they’ll keep this original theme as an option if they move to something else.

doesn’t make it easy to implement. Microsoft definitely hasn’t done great.

> This EDR display philosophy is so important to Apple that they are willing to spend battery life on it. When you map “white” down to gray, you have to drive the LED backlight brighter for the same perceived screen brightness, using mor

This doesn’t compete in the same space as the M1. It only sort of competes with the A14. And it will be quite a bit worse performing than that.

This has half the battery capacity of the more compact XPS 15. Is Dell really that far ahead with in their engineering ability?

The MacBook Pro display is better in many more ways than just resolution. It's also has a wide gamut, excellent factory calibration, good contrast, and an effective antireflective coating on its glossy panel. I'd prioritize each o
