> The article doesn't mention Chrome version, release channel, whether on fresh vs existing install an if settings were altered.

Actually, it does claim this is the stable release channel. And it's reasonable to assume that if the author is documenting on a fresh profile / user account on the Mac, they probably downloaded the current (that day) release, though we're inferring when don't don't truly know for sure.

> 10. Code-signed, shipped through the normal release channel. This is not test build behaviour. It is Chrome stable.

I think it's poor form to run cover for one of the biggest corporations in the world like this. Don't let them off the hook. As the author correctly points out, metered connections are being abused. Hell, last month I somehow hit ATT's bandwidth limits on my mobile and got throttled for five days. It made my phone so unusable that I turned on hotspot on my work phone and connected to that over wifi when I went to lunch.

I was going to the 10am or 11am screenings for years to avoid crowds and drunks who'd talk or otherwise distract from the show. I have a 4k projector so the only movies since the pan have been the Spiderverse sequel on IMAX, the Avatar sequel (regular screening), and Everything Everywhere All At Once in a small theatre with sofas and pizza and beer.

Either it's big enough to warrant a massive video and sound system (because I have pretty great ones at home already, so it has to be extravagant), or it has to be something I've heard about and want to see so much that we don't really care about the best, we just want to go. Otherwise, why mess around with high prices and rude people?

I hate to say it, but I think most theaters are gonna die.

(Not who you responded to.) You clearly don't know anyone who lives with a condition that would cause manic episodes.

They're terrible. Imagine being super focused and productive and excited by how much you're accomplishing as you're banging out innovative code and solving complicated problems with brilliant elegant solutions. Next thing you know you've been awake for two days and your mind no longer works but you're still super motivated and trying to make sense of what you're working on but it no longer tracks and you literally can't keep a line of code in your head long enough to combine it with the one that comes after it. And then you give up and try to watch streaming content for the next two days while your body begins to hurt terribly and you're dehydrated because you kept forgetting to drink water and you can't follow any plot-lines and your mind is mush and then when you finally fall asleep you wake up feeling like you got hit by a truck because you're so undernourished because you had no appetite for much of the episode and your body is literally failing / on the way to starvation.

For bonus points, you might even experience disordered thinking with hallucinations and paranoia and think someone has hacked into your computer and is trying to frame you for crimes and then destroy all your devices and drives, which I did once late at night before things got much worse and I came to in an ER and had to be restrained. It's super cool.

Calling out signs that someone might be experiencing this type of disorder is not being critical of their passion. It's putting notice out that they might not be operating in the same reality that you and I currently occupy.

Just commenting to say, from a place of empathy, that you're right and that it's hard for people to understand what mania looks like in someone if you haven't experienced it first-or-second-hand. You see it a few times and it becomes obvious. In the moment it can be disorienting and cause you to question your own reality because theirs seems so influential and motivated. I hope you're doing well these days.

My mother has bipolar disorder, but please, tell me more about my life experiences.

I haven't seen any evidence that Tan is having a manic episode.

> My mother has bipolar disorder, but please, tell me more about my life experiences.

I told you about mine, not yours. And her bipolar experience also isn't yours. You didn't go through that, but I did and she did. You experienced it by proxy.

> while using democracy and human rights as a pretext if at least is trying to enforce a human rights and democracy agenda once the new gov and usually U.S does it with more or less success.

You mean like in Chile and Indonesia where there were legitimately elected leaders who we got kicked out of power leading to mass killings?

I recommend a book called The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins. It really knocked me back and was a pretty sad story.

The immigration rules for decades try detecting that transition for that purpose, as i recall. might want to look into that in case you're seriously thinking of such as a strategy.

I'm not sure what you are asking.

> The AVP is an incredible device

It's one of the most impressive feats of engineering that I've interacted with and yet mine sits in a drawer. If they'd produced ongoing immersive content, I'd keep watching it. I especially loved the dinosaur experiences. Oh well…

My impressions after trying it in the Apple Store was - amazing v1 hardware, beta quality software and alpha quality content.

sounds like a missed opportunity by apple to partner with the las vegas sphere folks for content.

Howard Oakley is a highly respected technical writer. I subscribe to his site's RSS because of the fine writing which has had a consistent voice since well before GPT was released.

Can you explain from what exactly "Virtualisation ... is different" then?

I'm not GP, but I assumed it was a play on Apple's "Think different" marketing mantra

"Every single hardware device in an Apple silicon chip is different from its equivalent (if there is one) in Intel Macs"

There are no significant differences in virtualization hardware between Intels and ARMs, and certainly none described in that article.

It's not about the virtualization hardware, it's about interfacing with the rest of the hardware. The article is about why Apple decided to use Virtio when they weren't doing that before the ARM transition.

Yeah, that's not gonna hit. Non-native UI in an app that no Mac plain-text user asked for. I love Sublime, but TextMate was once king. There are already plenty of good options. I also love VIM for saving test to specific locations while I'm on the command line (I have an `sb` alias for Sublime but I don't want to switch away from my terminal window unless the corpus is large or complex).
