      @Hog that’s a really good explanation. So does CISC or RISC use depleted uranium shells?

        I took an M2 Air with me to Europe back in June, but I constantly worried about the risc of evaporation.

        It was thin, light and needed to be kept in an Air-tight case.

            Now I got this showing up

            https://www.makeuseof.com/node-js-streams-introduction/

            A stream is a fundamental programming tool that deals with the flow of data. At its core, a stream typically represents the sequential transfer of bytes from one point to another. Node.js’ official documentation defines a stream as an abstract interface that you can use to work with data.

            Transferring data on a computer or across a network is an ideal use of a stream.

            Streams in Node.js
            Streams have played an essential role in the success of Node.js. They are ideal for real-time data processing and event-driven applications, two prominent features of the Node.js runtime environment.

                I have a conference tomorrow next to the White House. I can pop over to the WH afterward and tell Joe to ban that shit and anything else you want me to convey to him?

                      Why would the Austrian PM care about a Cambodian? They are halfway around the world apart.

                        Qualcomm’s latest CPU for PCs beats Apple’s M1 and catches up with M2

                        Apple has been doing a great job with its Apple Silicon “M” chips for computers, as they deliver more performance...

                        Awesome. Looks like we’re going to start getting laptops with M1 / eventually M2+ performance and efficiency (battery life) but aren’t locked into Apple’s ecosystem.

                        I hope Intel is seriously planning for a RISC future because x86 has no place in it IMO. Whether you’re an individual getting 50 to 100% better battery life in your laptop or a company saving a bunch of money in electricity costs, CISC doesn’t make much sense at any scale. But I could just be a RISC fanboy.

                        Ohhhhhh Hog.

                        People buy for software they want, not chips.

                              I’m waiting for Apple to upgrade MBP to M3 before I buy a new laptop.

                                    Windows already runs on Arm and the apps will get there. Linux and most of its apps already cross compile to a half dozen architectures. Windows / apps targeting two is just new. I never tried it but when Apple switched from Intel they built in compatibility with the legacy apps using some kind of virtualization that was supposed to be excellent and fast.

                                    When the apps run anywhere, you can bet some people will be looking to buy the windows laptop with 16 hours battery life versus the one with 8.

                                            Qualcomm’s latest CPU for PCs beats Apple’s M1 and catches up with M2

                                            Qualcomm’s latest CPU for PCs beats Apple’s M1 and catches up with M2

                                            Apple has been doing a great job with its Apple Silicon “M” chips for computers, as they deliver more performance...

                                            Awesome. Looks like we’re going to start getting laptops with M1 / eventually M2+ performance and efficiency (battery life) but aren’t locked into Apple’s ecosystem.

                                            I hope Intel is seriously planning for a RISC future because x86 has no place in it IMO. Whether you’re an individual getting 50 to 100% better battery life in your laptop or a company saving a bunch of money in electricity costs, CISC doesn’t make much sense at any scale.

                                            I didn’t understand any of this

                                            It’s not for you, just buy what you are told to like a good sheep.

                                            TELL ME WHAT TO BUY !

                                            I am now looking at buying 60m of Petzl rad line in case you can find that cheap, I can recommend it.
