The Usual Suspects

Per the title, this is a leaked benchmark. It’s not an Ars Technica full benchmark article.

Regarding market share and your friends and family recommendations, you’re thinking first world. Rest of the world wants and can only afford sub-$500 laptops.

It’s all relative. I’m at 24.4% but I have quite a few devices like Wemo light switches at the top of my DNS queries. Only have one Amazon Alexa device but that’s near the top as well.

IoT devices which constantly phone home will skew things.

There’s not many free as in open source alternatives out there. There’s traditional CAD such as Fusion 360 which gives you a limited amount of designs and is “free” for non-commercial use.

So then under the open source, own your designs umbrella you have stuff like FreeCAD which is similar to traditional CAD which means you have a learning curve.

OpenSCAD is programmatic which suits someone with a software engineering background. Plus being free in the sense of owning your designs.

His original sentence was life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

So you can’t agree with the original sentence and then say he “absolutely deserved to be released.”

Without the chance of parole, a pardon from the president is one of the few ways he could get out of jail.

Quick correction: I currently use Wezterm on Linux and it has tabs. Alacritty does not for developer philosophical reasons.

Looking forward to checking out Ghostty.

One example is that Microsoft owns GitHub.

A few that come to mind:

Jekyll - written in Ruby

Hugo - written in Go

Zola - written in Rust

The article says:

Average response size also halved from 1506 bytes to 778 bytes, the compression algo in the Rust library must be better than the one in the JS library

If you want to watch a film similar to these themes, check out Playtime from 1967 by Jacques Tati. Something I watched recently.

Playtime works wonderfully as a cinematic satire of contemporary society and our roles.

The film's office scenes are particularly striking because they visualize the dehumanizing aspects of modern office design that cubicle farms would later become notorious for - the uniformity, the loss of privacy despite physical separation, and the way architecture can make people behave more like components in a machine than individuals.

The thing about Playtime is the constant onslaught of appropriate explorations on the theme of an increasingly technical life.

By the time the end of Playtime rolls by, what you get is an examination of what it is like to be human and hopefully you feel a sense of joy in being a part of the human race.
