Absolutely fair point. I'm only pointing out the fact it hasn't been proved to be a limitation of the architecture yet.

Can't write off the first car only able to go 15km/h because your horse is able to do 40km/h.

> RISC-V is 25x slower than a top of the line Apple M-series chip

I don't think anyone has put the kind of money into a RISC-V processor that Apple has in order to develop the 3nm M4.

I was going to say it isn't an apples to apples comparison but I will restrain myself.

Life changing isn't it? Coupled with a holder attached to the bed I feel like I read twice as fast when I'm using it rather than holding the kindle, side effect being that I look like the people in WALL-E.

I understand that people would prefer if it were built into the device but in all honesty it isn't really that much of an inconvenience when you're already only using it while it's stationary.

I'll be keeping this on file, thank you.

I somehow keep ending up working at places where 90% of the employees grew up with staff in the house. Dozens of people with wikipedia pages about their families.

I've been here for 5 years and am almost thirty years old. I still have people regularly asking me where I went to secondary school. They are obsessed with class.

I would have loved to pay monthly for IRC Nitro™ back in the day to use… uh, forbidden ascii art?

Not a fan of paywalls, but the framing of the pricing comparison is just so funny to me.

Like the guy who comes into the pub offering to sell dubiously acquired meat for a bargain price.

You have to either be entirely detached from reality or deliberately cruel to make statements like this alongside $20,000pa.

Willing to bet the latter given Per Se was charging 5% of that salary for a single dinner.

And as we all know, it is impossible to imply tone in written text.

Honestly explicit sarcasm indication should just die out entirely. Might as well be writing it longhand as "Just in case you missed it, this is a joke haha." every time you tell a joke.

Not sure why Fediverse needs a symbol but it looks great.

Wages in America must be truly incredible for this to seem normal. I know so many full time developers on a tenth of that.

Weird how this line is only ever wheeled out in relation to hate speech apologism.
