Does it? This isn’t a scientific journal, nor is this a hard science forum. So the expectations that a layman conform to the standards of a field to have a conversation about a fairly esoteric subject is asinine.

I can’t know the top science in every field, so that bars me from discussion, lest I be slammed for having a thought.

This isn’t just anti-science, it’s ignorant of social interactions, and the conversations that lead to greater understanding. You aren’t nearly as smart as you think you are.


I guess the spirit of what you're saying is that I reacted with excessive condemnation. Yeah, you're right. Truth is important and I don't regret the information I gave out, but I agree that I should have taken it easier.

On that note, I guess it's a little fun that you ending with "you aren’t nearly as smart as you think you are" seems to be participating in the same unnecessary meanness that you just called out. Ahhhh man, aren't we all so brutally human...


My M1 Mac blows away my 3 year old desktop outside or raw graphics output due to the desktop having a 1080. It's such a massive power leap, it's difficult for me to believe that you bought a M1 Mac. I suspect you have hardware, or PEBKAK issues.


Raw performance as measured in benchmarks, sure.

But the newer OSes do feel more bloated and indeed are sometimes slower. My 12-inch Macbook (low-powered dual-core i5) on Mojave feels much faster at opening built-in applications and simple tasks than my M1 running Monterey, and yet I can't think of any Monterey feature that I actually use over what Mojave already had - my workflow is exactly the same but now I seem to have to withstand a performance tax.


Latest versions of Mac OS connect to the Internet and gets apples permission before opening an app.

If you are on a high latency network, eg weak wifi signals, you'll be waiting 200-300ms.

Those on super fast internet don't notice, and think it's a problem with you, but no, it's Apple.

Pretty sure this is only on first time launch to verify the notarisation.

It doesn't happen every time.


Is that only for the App Store? I'm not seeing that traffic.

I live in a rural area, city under 40k. We don't have amazing internet.


No, it's for all apps.


This isn't my experience at all. I'm feeling fortunate that we don't use the same stack. ;)


A tangential correction: it’s PEBKAC, not PEBKAK, as written in your comment. The last letter stands for “chair”.


I mean, you can do that now. So, yes, but not because of this.


I know of Azure SQL Edge, which has significant limitations, but I don't know how to run MS SQL Server on an M1 at anything more than glacial speeds (i.e. full system emulation in Qemu). Is there something I don't know about? Please share!


the Drawbridge environment has some peculiar needs that most JITted envs don't provide. So unlikely to work but will test that out soon...


If you're speaking about the existing technique MS has developed to run MS SQL on Linux, it doesn't work on M1s in Docker under Qemu user emulation: https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-docker/issues/668

That's 2019. I haven't tested 2017 or 2022, but I assume they don't work either. AFAIK the official advice is to use Azure SQL Edge instead.


qemu-user is indeed hopelessly unsuitable for any kind of heavy use. Use anything else. :)

But that doesn't answer the question of "does Rosetta deal with it properly?".


SQL Server doesn't work under Rosetta.


Oh! Sorry, I didn't realize you were going to try it under Rosetta. That is very disappointing that Rosetta doesn't do any better. Thanks for testing.


It's hard to call it immoral when it's free and it's easily compilable. I'm a commie, so very critical of corporations. But, of all the immoral actions in Silicon Valley, this isn't one of them.


Choose the appropriate tools for the job. I hate these idiotic posts that examine a sliver of a domain and think they have the answers to all of programming. It’s just naïveté on display, and this site eats it up.


Apply a negative charge to the panels?


Now you just added another USD100M to the cost of the mission ;)


I do on my laptop Dev environments, but I do understand your point, it’s not a use case any but resource constrained devs do.


Could be worse. I’m the whole team in my provincial government for the dev work for most of the forms for our government. Be careful what you wish for.

Yea, I’ve wiped out an entire government’s form library once. Backups are a career saver.


"Battle tested" typically means that the code has been running for a long time, bugs found, bugs squashed, and a stability has been attained for a long time. It's usage predates the "information wars", back when we really didn't think about security that much because nothing was connected to anything else that went outside the companies, so there were no hackers or security battles back then. So I suspect this is the authors frame of reference.
