Same for me on macOS 15 on a M2. It's just Firefox, and I don't run much in the way of extensions there. Just 1Password and uBlock Origin.

I haven't noticed it lately, but that's because I've switched to almost exclusively Claude usage as of late.


When put in that context, it seems rather slow.


At solar system scale (and bigger), even light is slow.


Earth orbits at 2pi AU/year by definition, so it's 29x faster than that. In fact it's not even possible for an object bound within the solar system to move that fast, as the radius of an orbit at that speed would (per the back of my envelope) be well inside the sun itself.


Even at our solar system's scale it can seem slow. Pluto gets to about 50AU from the sun, but the Oort cloud is between 2,000 and 5,000 AU from the sun. 24 1/2 days until something reaches earth vs almost seven years.


Still is. I made a basic http responder last week and it was under 4mb static compiled for a scratch docker container. I didn't even have to resort to compression, just stripped debug symbols.


A 3.25inch disk (the one that makes the well known save symbol) held 1.44 megabytes.

These held entire graphical games and now we’re impressed when we can respond to an HTTP request in a binary that size.

Something got lost…


For a lot of newer compiled languages this comes down to static compilation. These aren't linking to any system libraries beyond the OS fundamentals.

That and they have way more debug symbols than Comander Keen, probably.


There was no crypto stuff during the floppy times, and that's a lot of extra code


I agree. Even within my own org there is some nitpicking, but it's almost always about style consistency for our shared codebase, which is valid.

If your PR doesn't pass lint checks, it doesn't get merged. And the only reason it would fail the lint checks is if your pre-commit hooks didn't fire.

There is no argument of 2,4,8 space vs tabs, because the code you commit is run through the linter.

Write however you want for the things that don't matter, the formatter always wins.


I run clusters on OKE, EKS, and GKE. Code overlap is like 99% with the only real differences all around ingress load balancers.

Kubernetes is what has provided us the abstraction layer to do multicloud in our SaaS. Once you are outside the k8s control plane, it is wildly different, but inside is very consistent.


32bit ARM and aarch64 are wildly different instruction sets. 32bit ARM may as well be x86 or MIPS as far as running it on aarch64 hardware, it is going to require just about the same level of emulation(memory models may be similar which would help, but that's about it).

Unlike x86/64, the 32bit silicon is entirely gone in most aarch64.


I wonder why Intel and AMD still keep the 32 bit and even 16 bit parts. Are there people still running many legacy apps?


As a consumer, yes. Old steam games are a big deal.

In business... not where I work, but I hear stories of shops that still have lots of old 32-bit COM stuff, etc.


Intel has proposed dropping 32-bit and 16-bit support in the future.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...


The proposal doesn’t remove 32-bit user land or (I think) virtualization.


X86S allows 32-bit ring3 (userland) but even VMs are stuck in long mode and only support 32-bit code for userland. Booting a VM for a 64-bit OS that has a legacy bootloader with 16-bit or 32-bit code would require software emulation of that code.


On windows, a lot of installers are 32-bit even if the application they're installing is 64-bit so that they can fail gracefully on 32-bit OSes.


Why would you care that the installer fails gracefully?


It's helpful for the users


The OS already throws a specific error message, and it is the OS that should be responsible for this.


This gives you no opportunity for a customized product-specific upgrade UI!

Choosing to install the 32-bit version could also be an option I suppose.


32-bit applications are still pretty ubiquitous, including Office add-ins, and there is no particular benefit on x86 in removing support for 32-bit on the application side.


Yes


>32bit ARM and aarch64 are wildly different instruction sets

Maybe for the CPU implementation, but having written a lot of ARM2 assembly, the disassembly of Aarch64 is far more readable than x86_64 to me.


I'll review resumes of any referrals from my network. Usually provide tips or areas they need to show more substance in. I won't submit any network referral to my company's internal recruiter unless they stand out and fit a need.

The proximity to my network doesn't need to be strong, but your resume does.


Place it as a sell order on the trading book, above the current price. That way you are a market maker, and pay no fees.

50BTC is small potatoes, you aren't going to move the market.


Thanks - but imagine I got these things in 2012 and have been totally uninterested since then. What's "the trading book?"


Congratulations! Lucky you! You're a millionaire! Probably they were referring to an exchange site; the two most popular ones are Binance and Coinbase.


Definitely do not touch Binance. Coinbase and Kraken are the most reputable options.

If you're unsure, hire a professional. Think of it as paying 0.02% as insurance against mistakes.


Isn't Binance by far the most widely used exchange?

I think that if you're unsure you need to study the topic so you can tell which "professionals" are professional con men.


> Isn't Binance by far the most widely used exchange?

Ostensibly yes. But they're overseas, so what's your recourse if something goes wrong? If you wouldn't trust a random overseas Italian bank to handle your money, don't trust Binance either.

> I think that if you're unsure you need to study the topic so you can tell which "professionals" are professional con men.

To be clear I was referring to financial advisors from the traditional financial sector. Bitcoin is big enough now that they'll have a playbook for it. Don't hire a "crypto" professional.


I sure as fuck wouldn't trust a non-overseas bank to handle my money. Because I'm in Argentina, and although I'm stupid, I'm not that stupid. I have no idea where rel_ic is, but if they're in the US, they can't use Binance. If they're not in the US, it's quite likely that they'll want to use an overseas exchange for security reasons.

Using a cryptocurrency exchange isn't as risky as using a bank. You can fund your account with a small amount of bitcoin, exchange it to fiat, withdraw it, fund it with a 20% larger amount of bitcoin, and repeat the process a logarithmic number of times until all your money is changed. You don't have to leave your money in it for a long period of time, risking things like bank failure and getting locked out, and if the exchange decides to steal from you, it only gets a small amount of the total you're changing. It doesn't know in advance which transaction is the last, so it can't just wait until the last transaction to rip you off.

I agree with your recommendation to hire a financial advisor from the traditional financial sector, but they may not be familiar with this kind of situation, and some of them are professional con men as well, to a lesser or greater extent.


How do you find a professional you can actually trust? Any search results in hundreds of scams.


Your due diligence should be the same as for a financial advisor handling your USD. Bitcoin is big enough now that they'll have a playbook for it. Don't hire a "crypto" professional.


I have neither a financial advisor nor USD...


If that's the case, I'm afraid I don't know what you should do. I can tell you, as a random internet commenter, that the companies I mentioned are reputable and operate in many countries around the world. There is a tail risk that they, or your traditional bank account, freeze your funds for "suspicious activity," and that's the case where having someone working for you is most useful. I'm not sure how you should bootstrap trust in your particular situation, I'm sorry. Good luck.

USB-C iPhones work with all kinds of USB-C hubs, devices, keyboards, mice, Ethernet adapters, etc out of the box.

As far as I have seen, USB-C on iOS devices has no authentication restrictions for anything.

The device in the article already has an iOS app, so while there may be a needed app entitlement, I don't think there are any showstoppers for making an iOS app for this particular thermal camera.


I would love to be wrong, but I can't find anything that suggests USB webcams work on USB-C iPhones - I did try in the past for different reasons but couldn't find any way of making it work.

Some USB-C thermal imagers do claim to work, for example this one by HIKMICRO - https://www.hikmicrotech.com/en_us/industrial-products/mini2... - but I'm not sure how...


What surprised me is that iPadOS does have uvc functionality, but iOS doesn't. If you have an ipad with a USBC connector, can try it and will work. For example I used the Orion app for ipad and it will show me live feed of any connected uvc camera.

You are correct. I have the same camera as OP (v1?) but the usbc version does not work with iOS. Can’t understand why. It’s very infuriating.


Which is what troubles me about making auditable digital voting systems. I'm not sure how you could do it while preserving the secret ballot.

About the best I can come up with is a QR code displayed on the screen and on a printout that you can compare with a third party phone app. Machine results are tabulated, and the QR code sheet is put in a lock box separately. This at least provides some way to compare what the computer says you voted versus the QR backup ballot for audits. I'm sure there are holes in my idea.


>About the best I can come up with is a QR code displayed on the screen and on a printout that you can compare with a third party phone app.

That's definitely not secret. If you can audit it on your phone, baddies can force you to show your phone to verify that you voted "correctly".


It's not, but I'm saying you have the option to compare the two with an outside reference at the time of voting. You keeping the result on your phone after would be entirely your decision.


>You keeping the result on your phone after would be entirely your decision.

And what happens if baddies come to your house before the election, and say that after election day they'll check up on you, and if you don't they'll beat you up?
