On: Node.js 26.0.0 (Now with Temporal)

[dieulot]

It was made a release candidate in the previous (non-LTS) major version, in v25.7.0 from February.

Issue: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61262

On: How fast is a macOS VM, and how small could it be?

I'm wondering if the Xcode simulator (without Xcode running) performs as well, my 2020 Intel MacBook Air has been incapable of running Safari in iOS smoothly for nearly all its life.

Macbook Neo should run rings around any Intel Air: Geekbench shows it at 250% the score of 2020 Intel Air.

My M1 Air, which was my personal Mac, generally stomped my work MBP 2019 with an Intel chip.

The difference between the absolutely silent M1 and the hairdryer Intel was staggering.

I’m sure you’re completely right.

You’re going to love that newfangled M1 chip.

[dieulot]

That’s an unreliable way of simulating an unreliable network, as overviewed in https://calendar.perfplanet.com/2016/testing-with-realistic-...

[dieulot]

There’s no statement or action (such as banning menu-bar-only apps from the Store or even changing the APIs) supporting that Apple still wants menu bar items to be ephemeral.

[cosmic_cheese → dieulot]

If they wanted to enable persistent third party menu extras they’d open up the same APIs that Apple themselves use.

[apple4ever → cosmic_cheese]

They basically did.

On: Significant raise of reports

[dieulot]

Could you back up your assertion that Willy Tarreau — who used to maintain the Linux kernel — is “an AI enthusiast”? I can’t find anything about it.

[cdavid → dieulot]

Also one of the initial creator of haproxy, a well known reverse proxy. To imply somebody like as a simple "AI shill" is just ignorant.

[logicprog → dieulot]

Anyone who says anything good about AI must be an AI shill from the start, not someone who is genuinely observing reality or had their mind changed, don't you know?

On: Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts

[dieulot]

No, it’s >1 second on every machine.

[exitb → dieulot]

I don’t know about your particular case, but there’s lots of people pointing to this exact issue.

Regarding HAProxy, they ended up using AWS-LC in their new Debian/Ubuntu “performance” packages: https://www.haproxy.com/blog/fresh-from-aws-reinvent-superch...

On: Start all of your commands with a comma (2009)

[dieulot]

The issue of rootless malicious command overrides is solved by typing the whole path, such as "/bin/sudo".

[mathfailure → dieulot]

No, don't do that as a precaution. As others have already answered correctly - it's too late to worry about such things if a malicious agent has write access to your ${HOME} dir.
