The only thing more impressive that hardware engineers' delivering continuous massive performance improvements for the past several decades is software engineers' ability to completely erase that with more and more bloated programs to do essentially the same thing.

> When documenting the security model, Apple use the example of an XNU kernel developer wishing to test their changes on a second macOS installation. It is apparent however that the platform security model was engineered to allow third party operating systems to coexist with macOS in a way that does not compromise any of Apple's security guarantees for macOS itself. *Rumours circulating that Apple are actively hostile towards efforts such as Asahi, or that their security must be bypassed or jailbroken to run untrusted code are unfounded and false*. In fact, Apple have expended effort and time on _improving_ their security tooling in ways that _only_ improve the execution of non-macOS binaries.

Regarding Framework laptops being "Macs for Linux," Frameworks are fantastic in their own way but they don't come anywhere near the build quality (or battery life) you get with a Mac.

- Insert a new item

- Delete a specific item (that you have a pointer to

- Move a specific item from list A to list B

- Get the next item to work on

And where pointers to an item need to be stable. Doubly-linked lists are very fast for all of that; their main downside is they are slow to iterate over due to cache incoherency but that doesn't matter if you very rarely or never iterate through the entire list. And since you need to have stable pointers to items in the list that don't change when you insert/remove items, most other data structures would need an extra level of indirection so you lose the cache coherency benefit anyways.

It sounds like Boeing is currently working on designing and certifying a design enhancement to the MED plug to make it obvious if one is not closed properly. Not sure where to find the details on it though.
