Consumers should already be glad that R&D for their products is being subsidized by OpenAI and Google

did your laptop display have the same brightness and pixel density

There was a rumour on here that aarch64 was actually designed by Apple and given to ARM to standardize

It’s a false rumour. Arm has decades of ISA design experience and their chief architect has talked about designing Aarch64.

Sure they Apple and Arm worked together but it wasn’t developed by Apple and given to Arm.

Arm IP cores are catching up to Apple silicon now with Arm-C1

just buy your devs faster computers to compile on

You can't buy your way out of this, because C++ builds are only parallelizable across multiple translation units[1] (i.e. separate .cpp files). Unless you're willing to build a better single-core CPU, there's not much you can do.

The challenge with modern C++ projects is that every individual TU can take forever to build because it involves parsing massive header files. Oftentimes you can make this faster with "unity builds" that combine multiple C++ files into a single TU since the individual .cpp file's build time is negligible compared to your chonky headers.

The reason the header files are so massive is because using a templated entity (function or class) requires seeing the ENTIRE DEFINITION at the point of use, because otherwise the compiler doesn't know if the substitution will be successful. You can't forward declare a templated entity like you would with normal code.[2]

If you want to avoid including these definitions, you create an abstract interface and inherit from that in your templated implementations, then pass the abstract interface around.

[1] or linking with mold

[2] There used to be a feature that allowed forward declaring templated entities called "export". A single compiler tried to implement it and it was such a failure it was removed from the language. https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n14...

You’ve been downvoted but my company’s legal aid insurance started offering coverage for school related matters

> I’m curious: how do you broach this with potential employers and shape your job search/career path around it?

Could you get the job without these conditions and then drop the bomb on them as a disability accomodation

System library calls from x86 don’t get converted into arm64 by Rosetta? I coulda sworn Microsoft’s emulator did that

I could always have more ANC, I want feedforward ANC so strong that I don’t have to listen to showtimers on the subway (still not there yet)
