I have an m1 Mac and the Rosetta 2 layer is insanely performant. There is some performance loss but I'd hardly call it significant. It's imperceptible to me.

Introducing a new continent submerged beneath the ocean, challenging conventional ideas about continents.

The conventional idea being they must be above freaking sealevel???

I'm sure I can find a bunch of "continents" if I highlighted the least shallow parts of the ocean.

The number of people taking this wayyyy too seriously is incredibly high.

This is absolute horse shit. There is a stark difference between the two parties. One has a president in the white house who is about to join the picket line for the UAW strike, who made sure the rail union got what they asked for, who tried to wipe out college debt for millions of Americans (that was fought and blocked by Republicans because...reasons? But let's bail out the next corp or mega bank when they do some shady subprime shit).

Functionally, republicans are doing everything they can to directly or indirectly fuck over wage earners and the Dems, while not perfect by any stretch, are at least attempting meaningful changes. Hell, a few republican states are peeling back child labor laws. They are also torpedoing the education system and running off good teachers.

Name a Democrat run state that's banned books, or passed ridiculous laws for teachers to follow.

It's not even close. And pretending it is causes apathy. Or gives apathy an excuse to grow.

I never gave them a chance because their name screamed: scammy site designed to lure old people into file taxes there.

But last year someone on here or reddit kicked off a thread and tons of people were singing it's praises.

So I checked it out after TurboTax was trying to charge me like $230 to do my taxes.

It was easier than TurboTax and I got the same numbers at the end, so I decided to go with them. I ended up spending $10 or something for the ability to refile amendments later or something. Honestly, I wanted to give them some money because I want them to stick around.

It was a great experience. I'll be using them moving forward.

I'm pretty sure the Abrams is made in Kentucky. Another big reason Moscow Mitch is on board with sending aid.

Which is why steam went whole hog into proton development for the steam deck. It's brilliant strategy. Suddenly their game catalog is immediately available on the device. So users can play games they already own and will have access to hundreds of others day one.

I was intrigued but I didn't want to invest in it because of Google's history of killing great products.

They have some great tools for their cloud platform but at this point, I wouldn't go all in on any new product of theirs.

Because then the devs go under and you can't milk them for more money over time?

I'm not defending them, but why the fuck would they want to shut down developers? That just doesn't make sense.

It wasn't Nixon. It was truman. There are two lanes. It's still there. I got to bowl there a couple weeks ago.

That picture is of Nixon bowling in the white house and it's also hanging on the wall of the alley.

The Ukraine stuff has nothing to do with it.

It's the feds attempts to wrangle inflation (caused by dumping trillions into the economy during COVID)by hiking interest rates. Companies with barely profitable or even unprofitable business models used to be able to borrow money at stupid cheap interest rates. Now that it's 7-8% they realize they have to figure something out.

It was this silicon valley "trade profits for scale and then we'll figure it out later" approach. That only works when cheap loans could float you until you hit scale or figured something out.

But in Unity's case I think it's partially that (they aren't profitable), but partially related to the stuff apple is releasing and doing lately.

I think unity is trying to get in front of a possible boom in Mac and apple gaming. Charge dev $.20 per install so you insure you get a piece of every game install and avoid a confrontation with Apple about app store rates.

I don't disagree with you, but that's what "having principles" , "being brave", "having honor", "defending the constitution", "having integrity", etc is.

It's standing up for what's right. What's just. The truth. Even when it might put you at odds with your party.

Any time a Republican ever calls anyone a coward or "spineless" we need to remind them of how they turned into absolute pussies during this era.

Pretty sure that's how it works everywhere.

Kemp has said that he would support Trump if he wins the 2024 Republican presidential nomination

Wtf is wrong with these people.

My wife and I couldn't afford to live in our own neighborhood if we were looking to buy now. We bought in 2019.

The rail road workers got everything they wanted and more. The admin followed up even if the media fell off. They also just raised the construction workers minimum wages on federal contracts.

Did you ask him to take the blinders off because you wanted a second set for yourself?

Bro, Elon gutted Twitter. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have the right people to get this information. I wonder if it sat in a mailbox for a day before they even had someone look at it.

Twitter isn't a well run company anymore. This could be pure incompetence.

That's obviously a trademark issue, but forking it should be pretty straightforward. You just can't call it (basically) the exact same thing.

Is there proof he donated? Was it specifically a donation against gay marriage? Has he donated to other causes as well?

Anytime I see a lynch mob forming, I always get a bit skeptical of the details. Context matters as well.

This guy could be a grade A sack of shit, but I haven't seen many links to proof, just people regurgitating the same stuff over and over.

Edit: I probably should have researched on my own before posting but here is what I've read so far: he donated back in 2008 (haven't found a link of a source that proves it, but I've also not found anything refuting the claim, not even his blog posts). He did post this back in 2014 when the hubbub started: https://web.archive.org/web/20200708202554/https://brendaneich.com/2014/03/inclusiveness-at-mozilla/

Maybe the bar is lower now after the trump tenure, but that post seems to show some genuine self awareness and growth. I know my views about the world have grown, changed, matured, and become much more nuanced since 2008. Is it possible he has as well?

Has he done or said anything shitty since that single donation?

Edit 2: I just saw some of his tweets on masks and saying Dr fauci lies https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1337496169690230784. Bleh.

I know I'm jumping to conclusions but I'm starting to see some indicators of what kind of politics he's continued to have.

I had this whole spiel queued up on how we need to let people be able to redeem themselves. He's not the poster boy for that cause so I'll hold off.

And AI/ML workloads. Nvidia gets lots of shit and is more expensive but you get a better ecosystem with their cards.
