On: Apple introduces M4 chip

[resonious]

My niche is Ruby on Rails web dev, which is definitely not universal, but not all that narrow either!

You must have an unusual setup because, between Rosetta and rosetta in Virtualization.framework VMs (configurable in Docker Desktop or Rancher Desktop), I’ve never had issues running intel binaries on my Mac

I’m doing Ruby on Rails dev too. I don’t notice a hige difference between macOS and Linux for how I work.

There’s quirks to either OS.

Eg when on Gnome it drives me mad that it won’t focus a recently launched apps.

On macOS it annoys me that I have install a 3rd party util to move windows around.

Meh, you just adapt after a while.

what's wrong w/ Rails on M chips? I don't recall having had much trouble with it (except w/ nokogiri bindings right when the M1 was first available, but that's a given for any new release of OSX)
