tinodotim··on 16-inch MBP 2x slower than M1 MacBook Air in a real-world Rust compile
Sure, more interesting than just pure CPU performance will be improvements to GPU, image processing, ML and others though - at least in my eyes.

If we'll just look at geekbench's single core bench, I'm sure Apple will still lead. (And overall likely still produce the better chips.)

Guess we'll see (maybe) in December (Snapdragon 875 will be announced December 1st at Qualcomms Digital Summit) - or a bit later, but the 875, now also on 5nm, supposedly will be quite a bump. Leaked (supposed) benchmarks show 30%+ improvement, which would be A14 territory.

I also have my doubts, but would be great for the market. (New Exynos 2100 supposedly also being up there.)

tinodotim··on 2020 Mac Mini – Putting Apple Silicon M1 To The Test
That would be a great device to also include a touchscreen in a mac for the first time... after all macOS is getting more and more touch-capable UI and got iOS app support. :)

But like you said, likely would eat into the iPad market - on the other side, as long as they don't make it a 2-in-1, the iPad should still have more than enough reason to exist.

tinodotim··on Apple unveils M1, its first system-on-a-chip for portable Mac computers
> That blows my mind. Microsoft has had an ARM version of Windows for years. I would have thought they would have lept to support Bootcamp on these new Macs.

Why and for who though? Yes, there is an ARM version of windows, but there is pretty much no software for it - and most of the Windows ARM software (Office?) likely has already iOS versions and will have upcoming Mac ARM versions.

I have the feeling that 99%+ of Bootcamp users use it for x86 software.

tinodotim··on AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review
> wouldn't be that significant and the prices would be much higher initially anyway

I mean, the 5600X is about double the price of the 3600, depending on when you got the latter.

tinodotim··on Brave Browser Passes 20M Monthly Active Users and 7M Daily Active Users
That's not the problem. Even if you allow them you'll get scrutinized by recaptcha currently. Seems like a fix is on the way though.
tinodotim··on Brave Browser Passes 20M Monthly Active Users and 7M Daily Active Users
> Brave is overall pretty snappy and I only got problems with Recaptcha, which wants me to do a ridiculous amount of tests.

Which seemingly is getting worse and worse, especially like the last 2? weeks.

tinodotim··on Trump's Twitter account hacked after Dutch researcher guessed password?
* maga2020!
tinodotim··on As Blizzard sunsets StarCraft II, ex-creators raise cash for a new gaming studio
They will, that is already confirmed. With both focus on single-player (and especially the experience for new players), but also multiplayer & esports.

Part of the dev team will be guest on tomorrows episode of The Pylon Show (SC2 esports podcast), live at 5:45 PM PDT I think.

tinodotim··on Journal 2.0: Mental Space for What Matters
Just a follow up:

1) Don't think you miss much, don't see how it's supposed to provide me a better "mental space" as lets say a notion note.

2) I guess the only thing you're missing is daily at least one email from them...

tinodotim··on Pinterest pays $89.5M to terminate San Francisco office lease
Revenue according to the article $272 million in Q2 (with a $100.7 million loss in the quarter).

For those also wondering how much the lease would've been:

> Pinterest, ..., said its lease obligations for the Bluxome project would have been at least $440 million.

Why do you ask for my mail during sign-up and then continue to only offer oauth with google or apple.
tinodotim··on Remembering what you Read: Zettelkasten vs. P.A.R.A
+1 ,but hope it gets bi-directional links similar to roam, obsidian, etc one day.

either way, underrated open source, free, note taking app.

tinodotim··on Launch HN: Quell (YC S20) – Immersive gaming and combat workout
> 2) Let other devs make use of the hardware asap!

Can't sell that $10/month subscription then though

tinodotim··on Facebook account now required to login to Oculus devices
+1 - what's wrong with b-corps and what's better?
tinodotim··on Twitter hack has profound national security implications
Trump's account got deleted in the past by a twitter employee. (Potentially through the same tool?)

Pretty sure Twitter communicated after that that they took precautions that this won't be able to happen again.

I guess the question is why other high profile accounts like Obama's weren't secured the same way.

tinodotim··on Microsoft is shutting down Mixer and partnering with Facebook Gaming
Remarkable if Microsoft really thought they could just buy two big streamers (and a couple of smaller ones) to get Mixer going and that Twitch market share - without making much change to the platform and its community.

"A typical Microsoft" I guess?

Big pay day for Ninja & Shroud though if they're really just free to join Twitch again, their returns will be huge.

tinodotim··on Xfce switches to GitLab
First line of the article ;)

> Starting today, May 1, we’re switching from our _cgit/gitolite_ setup to GitLab.

tinodotim··on Ask HN: Any job boards and age-friendly companies for older developers?
thought I was the only one remembering it -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12506232

surprised nobody bought it for that price (or potentially even less).

tinodotim··on Spotify signs ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ to an exclusive multi-year deal
> Seems like Spotify might be adding video later in the year but until that happens, we don't know what we will be getting.

He stays on YT 'til January 2021. Then Spotify is supposed to have full or more like better (because they already have) video support ready.

tinodotim··on Notion for everyone
Will there also be an option for client-side encryption without using your sync service?
tinodotim··on Notion for everyone
Timing of the announcement isn't a coincidence though I'd guess.
tinodotim··on AMD’s 7nm Ryzen 4000 laptop processors
> but AMD went ahead with dropping the embargo anyway.

Isn't it more like AMD dropped the embargo (partially) because Lenovo, ASUS and others wanted to get their devices out?

tinodotim··on Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally
Interesting, I visited it from IPs from all around the world through different desktop browsers and it's available everywhere BUT there is no author and no author bio.

If that's (kind of) on purpose that's really weird, to suspend somebodies account but leave the article up and remove all the author references. Anybody from medium on hn :)?

tinodotim··on Ask HN: How do I choose the right resource to learn CS fundamentals?
edx still has last years version online (I think until like mid-January), so if anybody wants to start between now and then, use: https://cs50.harvard.edu/college/ for the latest Fall 2019 edition.

You can still switch to edx as soon as it's live there.

tinodotim··on Sonos's “recycle mode” intentionally bricks devices so they can't be reused
And spoof what ever they're sending from the speaker? Because the whole "recycle" mode is about getting that rebate.
tinodotim··on PIA: Our Merger with Kape Technologies – Addressing Your Concerns
Something to add though, it's informal.

> Reddiquette is an informal expression of the values of many redditors, as written by redditors themselve

But I guess it makes sense for Reddit to move away from that rule. That's how you get big campaigns with companies like Adobe. Not by taking away their sub-reddits.

Personally I think I even prefer that though. Better than having heavily biased "community moderators", which is the case in way too many sub-reddits.

tinodotim··on Moto Razr 2019: A foldable smartphone with no display crease
>while looking at the article I just spied "09JAN19" on the back of the display

>Motorola have been working away at this for over a year.

>And (probably...?) successfully kept it a secret.

They didn't. January 16th: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/1/16/18185101/m...

January 21th: https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/21/18191330/motorola-razr-le...

Rumoured initial release of February 2019 and the Snapdragon 710 that is in devices for over 1.5? years already I wouldn't be surprised if similar problems as Samsung's lead to that late release now.

tinodotim··on iPadOS
The iPhone SE started at $400 and is now 3.5 years old. It will probably get another 2 major iOS releases. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_SE)

The Nexus 4 launched November 2013 and got it's last major update to 5.1.1 in May 2015 according to Wikipedia. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_4)
