Because the process is the same. When you read a book you don‘t save it as a brain file, you form memories from it. Some people can recall verbatim bits here and there but I have never met someone regurgitating a book word for word. And I‘m pretty sure I can not ask ChatGPT to output the first chapter of Moby Dick word for word. I think that would be, rightfully, considered copyright infringement.

Reference counting is not tracing garbage collection. To also quote a Wikipedia Link: „The main advantage of the reference counting over tracing garbage collection is that objects are reclaimed as soon as they can no longer be referenced, and in an incremental fashion, without long pauses for collection cycles and with clearly defined lifetime of every object.“

Not in depth. I’m just a user of Crossover, I haven’t had time to try Whisky. I think sometimes Codeweavers incorporates fixes for certain games into the app updates. Especially for the Steam app, for example. These appear in the changelogs. I use Crossover with CXPatcher because I then can use more up-to-date versions of DXVK and GPTK. The update cycle of Crossover is a bit slow for what is going on in that space right now.

I wish Apple would hire a team to properly maintain this, the way Valve has done with Proton and Steam Deck Verified.

Valve cooperated with Codeweavers, the makers of Crossover, to build Proton. And afaik Apple „works“ with Codeweavers. Well at least they don‘t get in the way to incorporate GPTK into Crossover. Apple changed the licence of GPTK so that Codeweavers can include GPTK.

The anecdote is definitely „food for thought“. It became kind of a ritual for me to revisit the article every time a new US president gets into office.

We’ll that’s the thing. Windows is based around windows and macOS is based around applications. I get that you want to use macOS like you use windows but that is the historical usage of these UI.

There are lots of cannabinoid receptors in the body and the body produces its own cannabinoids (e.g. Anandamide). There is no need for weed – when it comes to those receptors.
