> ARM based processors

Compared to most of the other things listed, this is more of a nerd-aestheticism thing rather than something which is hugely important technologically.

But haven’t ARM based processors put already computers in billions of peoples hands that otherwise wouldn’t have been able to access otherwise? I could argue that is hugely important.

ARM is merely a commercially successful microarchitecture that turned out to be good at being optimized for mobile application.

The ARM revolution has already happened, in this case I viewed the mention to be more of a wishlist for the types of computers the global well-off buy.

They've promised up to 1000 qubits by 2023... https://www.science.org/content/article/ibm-promises-1000-qu...

https://www.indexventures.com/rewardingtalent/calculating-in... has some benchmarks (take with a grain of salt)

Thank you.

0.2% of this would be $70k - $140k, which is a tad low for 4 years (especially for more senior employees) but isn't a rip-off IMO

from these charts[1] I'd disagree. https://www.vox.com/2014/11/24/7272929/global-poverty-health...

Even if it all were true, it won't last for long. We're in the supercrisis. It's unlikely that it will end any time soon.

Fossil fuels sources are depleted. Without fossil fuels there's no agriculture as they are used to produce fertilizers, also tractors, harvesters, etc work on fossil fuels.

It's possible to go back to the technologies of 17th-18th century (wind energy, etc), but these technologies are unable to support the current population of Earth and current lifestyle. Population would have to shrink to the size of the world population from 17th century also. Also, no cheap plastic toys everywhere. No huge suburbs with huge houses and cars with 4-6 liters of displacement to move from home to work.

From reading news it looks like there're no serious science and technology advances. All the advances are concentrated on how to brainwash world population more effectively and extract the money and attention by providing spiffy useless toys like cooler smartphones.

Awesome to see it's open source.

Yeah we wanted to go the open source route from the beginning. The thinking was that it would help us build a community with meaningful relationships with our users (or at least the ones that get annoyed enough to log bugs or even contribute), but also most of our favourite tools are open source.

It claims 60% faster subsequent builds (63% for Scale), but how much can an ordinary side-project gain? (let's say, 100 component files?)

I run a pretty complex web app and haven't upgraded to webpack 5 yet with Next. I have some custom webpack stuff so hopefully the migration isn't too painful, but I will report back with the compilation time improvement once done.

Support for webpack 5 has been a multi-month rollout ensuring backwards compatibility. If you do run into issues, please add a reproduction here and we will investigate!

Also in the blogpost is the great news: "We're excited to announce Tobias Koppers, the author of webpack, has joined the Next.js team". Thanks for hiring him to ensure webpacks continued support and development!

Hawley is the only Senate sponsor, and there is no companion legislation in the House, so likely no.

In memory, how does perf compare to https://github.com/nodkz/mongodb-memory-server ?

Does this require the enterprise edition of Mongo for its in-memory storage feature?

That's a good question. I'll try adding it to the benchmarks.
