  • Apple transition to own ARM chips in Macs rumored to start at WWDC

    jharner said:
    If macOS for ARM does not support the UNIX side, then the Mac in STEM will be dead. If macOS for ARM does not support a hypervisor for Docker, etc., then the Mac in STEM will be on life support. The data sciences are moving to containerization with Docker, Singularity, etc. and support of these technologies will be critical. Now, lack of support for CUDA is a big problem. In principal, Docker on ARM is supported, but it will be tricky even if Apple supports it. I would hate to think of moving to Windows Subsystem for Linux.
    macOS is a Unix like system. The Change of the cpu don‘t change this.

    Docker Desktop uses HyperKit instead of Virtual Box. Hyperkit is a lightweight macOS virtualization solution built on top of Hypervisor.framework in macOS 10.10 Yosemite and higher.

    Since it is based on a macOS framework it will likely run docker anyway. 
    Question would be if you have to use docker containers that are built for arm or if the hypervisor will be able to emulate x64.

    Anyway for the target group this wont even matter as I guess intel macs will be with us a bit longer.

  • European advertisers critical of iOS 14 warning users about ad tracking

    I opened the thread expecting to tell advertisers to go boil their collective heads, but actually there's a reasonable point in there; if European advertisers already need to ask permission to comply with GDPR then it doesn't make much sense for Apple to ask for permission for using the phone's hardware to deliver what the user has already agreed to.  Not sure how you'd be able to combine the two in a user friendly way though.
    problem is how this people trick you into acknowlegde cookies. for example. selecting the allowed cookies. grey for save. highlighted green for allow all. sure they are upset that apple wont let the mess with the gui element. Since GDPR and cookie permission is mandatory it is getting worse. Hope EU wont force Apple to change.
