Genetic diversity is a very interesting topic that’s well worth exploring, but it seems to me that Occam’s razor requires us to consider the possibility they just had a really good, well timed dosage of performance enhancing drugs for Secretariat back in the day.

FDR's tenure might have created an amendment to that effect, but it's not like this administration hasn't used a legal loophole before.

Perhaps there's a war, that a misguided congress won't declare as such, and a certain vice president that runs for president, with a certain someone as his vice president...

There's a lot of possibilities, but one that springs to mind is that restaurants are quite wasteful compared to home cooks.

There's a point at which coincidence and opportunity meet.

It offers more customization than Arch and the like, and it allows you to fix bugs you might find annoying more quickly than maintainers might. This is in addition to some nebulous performance gains from optimizing the builds you compile yourself.

The problem has always been that while you had all this choice, the one choice you didn't have was to just use regular old binary packages for the things you didn't have to customize. This complaint has finally culminated in TFA.

My understanding of this problem with Apple has always been that the more control you have, the more surface area there is to make screwups. This may partly describe why their software offerings have never been out-of-this-world, at least relative to the hardware. They just have their much more software overhead to do as a result of their business model.

Unfortunately, that's not standard everywhere. I've found that some CLI applications go the route of space and B being the pager buttons, but I haven't found keybinds for paging in a bare TTY.

Well, the chips that TSMC make are incredibly coveted regardless of Apple's behavior. They would still be being paid outrageous sums compared to the other chip makers if Apple's didn't buy up their whole supply. Maybe they'd be only be building two more gigantic fabs instead of three, or however many they have in production right now.

> The new online Apple Store brought in $12 million of revenue in its first 30 days, for an average of $730,000 per day. That's three-quarters of where Dell's daily revenue had reached after its first six months.

Uhh...

12,000,000 / 30 = 400,000

If I wanted to be charitable, I could guess that they might have gotten their numbers mixed up talking about net and gross revenue, but... This feels like a pretty big oversight.

TFA seems to only mention errors where the time is set to the future, which would probably indicate that Microsoft at least thought of this. Their responses seem to indicate that they also don't think that it's a security issue, which means they likely don't know of any _explicit_ way to exploit this.

It seems to me that it could still be used to bring down a windows server right around the time that you wanted to, which is still a potentially serious security concern.

I'm appreciating that, at least for me, the text after the second line break after the first paragraph doesn't show up until you scroll.

Is there any reasonable Linux support for a laptop with ARM right now? Asahi and Apple are one thing, but qualcomm's offerings haven't looked enticing at all.
