weird that safari can operate without eating a full gigabyte of ram when showing some text on a web page

too bad even with web extensions support safari still cant use ublock origin because they disabled the blocking part of the web extensions implementation

the whole safari extension / app store ecosystem is the most bird brained poo poo ever

welp I caved in and ordered a 16gb m1 air to replace my previous mba. I am looking forward to seeing how rosetta performance compares to the lovely intel mobile chips they’ve been using up to now
|
# ? Nov 18, 2020 20:27 |
|
reportedly the m1 is so much faster than lovely intel mobile chips that even after the rosetta translation penalty performance is better
|
# ? Nov 18, 2020 20:40 |

if benchmarks are reasonably representative, yeah, by some margin. this is the kind of thing where there'll for sure be some extremely degenerate cases as well though, so as always take care if you have some must-haves in your work flow. e: i'll reiterate that rosetta 2, if indications are correct, might be the most impressive part of this launch. and the gpu was clearly possible to make, but if you want a huge leap on all relevant competition that's the biggest one.

it seems like 20-30% slower, the absolute worse case is 50% slower in anandtech's tests the last unknown for me is the performance of x86 docker containers once that works, but i'm sure it will be faster than the 2015 MBP i'm replacing
