Neat! It makes sense how more kernel/userspace abstractions would add more latency.

> If you are doing music on your Linux PC, I would like to know your best ping from some MIDI instrument to the headphones.

I am not, unfortunately. I've always wanted to get into digital music production, but sadly DAWs have always been elusive to me.

And then what? Am I supposed to be excited about this future?

Unless it becomes a law, and the hardware makers adapt.

What was unique about it? (genuinely curious, I'm coming from the Linux side of the pond)

That sounds really fun!

Great idea, this reminds me of a Makefile! However, I do dread the cmake version of this that will nevertheless emerge in the next 10 years.

I like your comparison about Firefox not being a great example of "good" C/C++.

I'd personally consider myself comfortable in C/C++. I've built Wayland compositors, H264 backends for live-streaming, and built Chromium occasionally for testing. Despite being a die-hard Firefox (zen) user - I still have not been able to compile Firefox! To be fair, this was pre-Firefox quantum days so I hope their SVM and build tools have improved.

As a fellow Fedora/GNOME user, fun fact: GNOME Web uses the same web engine as Safari! They both use Webkit, so it's not out of reach.

They had me until they hit me with their "It's not just poop; it's fart." writing style

It shows, even as a Nix fan. The errors messages are abysmal

We do a version of this at work. It’s the most productive I’ve felt as an engineer.

Talos has made this super easy in my experience.

Are you a Java dev by any chance?

100%. I’m really not sure why K8S has become the complexity boogeyman. I’ve seen CDK apps or docker compose files that are way more difficult to understand than the equivalent K8S manifests.

Which is the exact use case someone would choose rust for over other languages

IMO, in a good way. It has a nice feel compared to the new laggy context menus and selections

It’s crazy how they just copied and pasted it

If the bubble pops, the only upside I’m looking forward to is the cheap liquidated hardware

Haha I was thinking the same thing. It’s super interesting how they follow the same format in every post. It’s like 3-4 paragraphs each, and each time they claim to have done something similar to the OP.

The central problem with Linux is that it forces you to conform to everything being a files, including device and IO. I’ll stick to MSDOS where I can go about business poking memory myself to control the hardware. /s My point being is that contracts between systems can improve our lives. We take the process, file, and protected memory models for granted today. However, I’m sure people hated the migration to protected systems as well because it “didn’t let them go about their business”

A very similar process happens in security research for macOS and iOS w/ the mach kernel. Researchers look for open mach ports that are ripe for privilege escalation.

You're right, I wonder how they calculated that number...

Subjectively, it’s a bit faster than my M2 Max, but a lot faster than my 3700x desktop.

Oops, yeah. I meant early 2026

GNOME with DashToDock and BlurMyShell on Fedora Workstation.

Trust me, it’s macOS enough. I switched from a 16” M2 Max MBP to a HP Elitebook G1A Ultra with Fedora. It’s been a dream.

Kubernetes is also this but for the cloud. CPU/Mem/Storage limits

It's common to think monorepos are a way of shipping code. IMO, they're actually a mental model or model of your code and its dependencies. It's not just tooling for tooling sake, it gives you a new view into your code and its dependencies.

The only downside is that the webcam _does not work_ unless you use Ubuntu 20.04 w/ the OEM kernel package.

The ISP driver which will enable the camera to work is in the process of being up-streamed, though. I believe they're targeting early 2025 for mainline Linux support.

I'm typing this post on the 395+ 128gb RAM model. IMO, the keyboard is better than the one in the newest Macbook Pro. Just enough travel, and quiet enough so I don't disturb co-workers when I type.

I use it for development running Fedora Workstation. My job involves spinning up lots of containers and K8S KIND clusters.

I often reach for it instead of my 14" M4 Macbook. However, I will choose the Macbook Pro when I know I'll be away from a charger for a while. The HP, as great as it is, still has bad battery life.

I would say they’re smart to invest in ARM over RISC-V for the time being. It was hard enough to get the industry to support x86 and ARM64. I mean the Windows transition is still not fully complete, and they’ve been trying since Windows 8.
