2nd #AppleSiliconM1 benchmark update, using @UnoPlatform DopeTest benchmark to measure perf under #Dotnet . Despite running under Rosetta the results are astounding (1.5-3x faster). I put my theory why in the post but Uno team may be able to shed light.

To write up my benchmarking the way I want I'll have to break it into parts. First up, how does #Java #javafx perform on #AppleSilicon under Rosetta?

I’ve seen a lot of Republicans on YouTube who have had it with the current Republican Party. I hope it is DONE.

@Katherine Bond I had hoped that would have been shown in the election results but actually Trump got more votes than in 2016, a higher percentage of Republicans than in 2016, and down-ballot republicans who are enablers or vocal advocates of Trump did very well. We are a long way from the GOP reforming itself or dying. It's going to be going further into Trumpist/neo-fascist territory.
This is really really interesting, never saw it until now. Not only is @GSAEmily a political hack, but all 4 top folks at GSA are, with some shoved in there just days before the election. Endless scum, all partisanship, dont give a damn about the country.

For generations, the United States has neglected to nurture the technologies and systems needed to respond to emergencies related to disease. Nowhere has this been more evident than in the response to H1N1.All the best people.

The #1 rule of business, in my opinion, is to not piss off your customers. Comcast is about to break this rule. Data caps with ISPs should not exist, especially 1.2TB when Steam games can be over 40GB a piece, and everyone is working from home nowadays.Comcast to enforce 1.2TB data cap in entire 39-state territory in early 2021

The #1 rule of business (at least in the US) is to never give your customers a choice in the matter.
You're projecting, Ted. Most people are not a complete, stinking pile of shit like you are.
The problem isn't just Trump or enablers who refuse to stand up to attempted overthrow of an election: They’ve turned tens of millions into gullible consumers of Trumpian nonsense. Even if elected Rs wanted to speak truth, MAGA crowd wouldn't listen

The sword needs to be bloody since Trump pretty much did it to himself - possibly because he's completely checked out and needs to be in a home or a prison cell.

I've said it before, but this country needs to send more elites to prison, not give them book deals. The total lack of accountability is one reason we're in this bad place.AOC wants to cancel those who worked for Trump. Good luck with that, they say.

A bunch of libertarians on twitter are talking about the moral hazard of the government paying off student loans.
Choosing to not prosecute criminal behavior is a far more concrete example of moral hazard.

Again, Trumpism in the GOP is not just about Trump. It is a rotten to the core problem.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Loren Culp won't concede despite losing to Jay Inslee by 545,000 votes. He's turned his attacks on top Republicans and looks to be trying to remain relevant in the GOP.Loren Culp, refusing to concede Washington gubernatorial race, turns on top Republicans

...and I get wearing us down is part of the fascist playbook that Trumpists are going with. The fact the other 60% are sleeping through this is what has me in this fatalistic mindset.

I'm struggling to continue to give a shit with 40% of the country in burn it down in the name of Trumpism mode, 20% of the country in factionalism over defeating Trumpism mode, and another 20% in don't give a fuck mode. If only 20% of us really care it seems demise is inevitable.

They thought there'd be a blue wave too, and when there wasn't, or their gerrymandering efforts proved sufficient to reduce it, they decided well let's see how much more we can take.
I don't like any Republican members of congress any longer because they've been pulling this shit for four years. The fact they took the ultimate leap of going along with this Trump coup crap reaffirms my opinion that they are not appropriate for any position of power anywhere.

The GOP has become far more extreme and far more taken over by the crazy wing (more Qanon House members than black house members) thanks to Trumpism. This makes what Biden faces in trying to be the bridge builder even more problematic, unfortunately. economist.com/united-states/…

Garland is a prime example of this: as centrist as you can find, but blocked purely as a display of power.

Yes it is a social problem. I tend to attribute it to a social bubble effect exploited by trump and others. The idea that these right wing types don't want a better society and don't bother to try to convince them is a little bit wrong I think. Instead we must recognize these trump supporters have been brainwashed by social media isolation. They just have a different idea, very misguided in most other people's view, of what makes a better society. So the real problem has to do with the dynamics of information dissemination, not the results of the dynamics which is just the symptoms of bubble-ized social misinformation.

@Bill Brayman Yup. They need to be cared for. Not catered to (racism and misogyny are unacceptable evils), but cared for.
Fact check: FALSE. I *literally* showed up at the White House on the Saturday after Trump's inauguration to brief his incoming Senior Director for Intelligence Programs and drove him a set of classification guides on Sunday to ensure he had what he needed for incoming officials.

Why after all these years has Apple never installed the standard auto-complete scripts for git? Windows install does. Linux installs do. It's the standard SCM that XCode etc. uses. Yet when installing XCode cmd line tools everything still manual. Very annoying.

Oh and about all those bad faith false equivalences with 2016. It goes to show the difference between the two parties and why the GOP is one I can't imagine voting ever for again.
@OhJoeHenry @TheEconomist Only 1/3rd of HRC voters claimed the 2016 election was illegitimate. Because despite his team's coordinating with several Kremlin agents to weaponize hacked intel, she conceded quickly and did not seek to overthrow the results.

The thing we worried about happening for years of Trump has happened. There are only a handful of GOP voices calling this out and only one that did it naming Trump's actions as egregious. It's maddening watching the GOP destroy the foundation of democratic government in the USA.
According to The Economist's latest poll from YouGov, 88% of those who voted for Donald Trump think that the election result is illegitimateDonald Trump’s refusal to concede is harming America

Maddening indeed. The lot of these bastards (i.e., the GOP supporting Trump) are violating their oath to the Constitution. There should be legal consequences.

"Having defied predictions of a down-ballot blood bath at the hands of voters fed up with Mr. Trump, congressional Republicans have seen there is little political cost..."
This is key. They think they've paid no price for irresponsibility and demagoguery. So they will not change.

Yeah, this would look very different if democrats had done as well as polling suggested they were going to. Republicans are looking at the polling-result delta and considering it a victory.

All due respect @SenMikeShirkey, isn’t it that evidence of serious fraud be taken seriously? Wild claims without evidence are nothing more than wild claims.
