Yeah, it's better, but 1/50 it doesn't work is super frustrating. Especially if there are multiple apple tvs in a house, I could see this being a problem where the remotes get confused.

At work we have a bunch of apple tvs hooked up to presentation tvs/projectors and we all just use the hdmi cable to the screen directly. I do not trust Apple to have their wireless issues sorted out this time.
Well then you'll be happy to hear that writing correct `unsafe` blocks in Rust requires just as much care as writing correct C code. :)
Honestly, I'm more than happy with my Surface Pro 3, and the iPad Pro doesn't interest me at all.

Not only are they playing catch up, but they failed to adequately catch up.
We're also working on a data format that allows for this use of arrays.

https://github.com/refractproject/refract-spec/blob/master/r...

We use it very similarly to how you would with Lisp, where the "element" may be a function of sorts.
Well, once you've got this much going all you need to implement is a proper READ, and then life is just about perfect.
They've lowered the prices for iCloud storage, so you _could_ argue that keeping the base size at 16GB is a means to get more people to sign up for iCloud.
This is what's usually called a "liveness" property: eventually the system will do some particular thing. These two in particular are often called "progress" in some contexts, but that's rarely formal.

In general, any of these properties can be checked statically, just like czwarich said. You have to be conservative, but that's not any different than a type system, or Rust's borrow checker. There are certainly languages that enforce termination, and you can design systems that enforce higher-level progress properties (such as absence of deadlock).

The major difference between a liveness property and the other kind (called a safety property: at no point does this bad thing happen) is that you can't check for liveness properties dynamically.
Yeah I expect it will be possible to disable it, which would become an issue if applications start requiring it.

The assistive touch "wheel" menu might also include a way to trigger it.
That's how the market works... otherwise we wouldn't have any new companies if everyone gave up before competing with the big guys. There's a lot of potential to do better against anyone.
Keynote has always worked much better for me, and has allowed me to make professional looking presentations fasters.
I've used the Surface Pro's cover - it's crap. Based on the dome switches (which I have used the previous generation of) the Apple one is already better.

So yes, I have a basis for claiming that - one based on the hardware used and direct experience with the competition.
Yeah but still sandbox restrictions no?
Yes, but it seems that Apple tends to bring out the worst in people on both sides (fans and foes)
They did it with a big clunky movable screen, not unlike the current Thinkpad trackpad. Big mistake.
The people who want interactivity with their TV have game consoles. Even on those wildly successful, high-use consoles, the "apps" (as opposed to "games", the first-class use case for the device) typically do rather poorly.

Not-console-manufacturers have been trying to break into this market for ages by making a TV viewing device that also happens to be a casual gaming console (/app platform), but it seems that people who want gaming on their TVs buy gaming consoles, while people who want TV on their TV buy things that let them watch TV, and there isn't enough overlap between the two for One Grand Unified Device to capture the market. Microsoft really went hard-in on the married TV and gaming concept with the XBox One, and it's been a massive flop compared to the PS4 (with the PS4 outselling it 2:1).

I don't think it's an issue of "nobody's done it right yet" - I think it's actually two separate markets and attempts to marry them just can't force those two markets to both want the same thing.
"By the same token, the force of gravity scales linearly with a planet’s diameter. Half the diameter of a planet and you get half the gravitational force at the surface..."

Wait, what? Assuming the mass of the planet remains constant, wouldn't you get 4 times the gravitational force at the surface?
Why unlikely? It's presumably just iOS, and there are plenty of iOS apps already existing which can play arbitrary files (assuming they don't have AC3 audio; due to legal disputes most apps are unable to use this) over a network.
Tactical nukes are used in tactical situations (See Tactics vs Strategy), meaning during active combat against individual fighting units (tank battalions)
I really don't give a shit who is copying who. It's technology; we're all building on the backs of inventions created by other people. The important thing to me is who does it the best, not who does it first.

The iPod was nowhere near the first mp3 player, it was just the best one. The iPad wasn't close to the first tablet. Will it be the best tablet? I don't know, but whether or not the Surface had a keyboard first won't be the deciding factor.

Every company is incorporating an absurd number of innovations pioneered by other people. When it comes to hardware, I just want to love using the device.
No, Apple does not win. That's the point. He is saying (which I agree with) that Apple's products are mediocre in just about every use case.
I believe this is a push to get users to use iCloud, for which they also announced pricing updates.
This "much like alpha in PNGs" makes it sound like you think this is a recent problem we still have to deal with. It's not:

http://caniuse.com/#feat=png-alpha

PNG alpha transparency was a problem with the decade old IE6. And even then IE6 worked fine with PNG8 images that had alpha transparency. IE7 and IE8 required a 1 line style attribute to work 100% with PNG + alpha, and IE9 did away with that need altogether.
interesting point that we rarely see tactical weapons of mass destruction being frequently such as nuclear weapon. It's interesting that Japan lost both wars to sudden technological advancements from opposing side and they aren't ever used again.

The turtle ships weren't alone but it was a gifted korean naval commander who ironically never commanded a navy before and figured shit out as the war was unfolding. The Korean general would even be hailed as a mythical figure and admired by WW2 Japanese naval generals.
I've tried cinnamon, peanut butter powder, cocoa powder, Nesquik, banana, mango, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and even tried to mix coffee in after the initial mixing. Nothing has gotten rid of the horribly overpowering taste.
I have 3 weeks of 1.5 sitting in my cabinets because I'm unable to stomach it.

I don't have overly sensitive taste buds (I will eat almost anything) but simply cannot stomach Soylent. I feel like the odd-ball out as most compare it to a slightly off or flavorless protein shake or "easily better if you add ___ while mixing". I'm wondering what I'm tasting that others' aren't.

I want to try 2.0 but am afraid it will still taste exactly like 1.5 and with no way to try and change the flavor by adding it during the mixing phase...as trying to add flavor after the mixing step is more difficult./diluted.

Any suggestions from anyone? Am I not adding enough fruit perhaps?

With New iPhone Upgrade Program, Get a New iPhone Every Year for $32/Month
I felt this way for a while, but I have a hard time arguing that my 15" Retina MacBook Pro is too large or heavy. You don't even get quad-core on anything smaller, so the performance jump between a 12" "New Macbook" and an 11" or 13" "Macbook air" is fairly marginal. I'd expect that gap to close in the next product cycle as well, since the 12" MacBook is the first run, has some heat issues, etc..
Let me know when you can run GTA 5 on your Apple TV, and then we can talk about how this is horrible for consoles.

Smartphones have already stolen away the casual gamer. The people playing call of duty and final fantasy are not the people who will be wowed by the apple TV.

If you look at sales data for the Wii, there is a ton of people who bought a Wii, which game with Wii sport and then bought very few games. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_video...)

This will simply solidify that casual market into iPhone and Android apps. Consoles have nothing to fear IMO.

"since at least it runs a real operating system designed for "pro" use not the closed eco system that is iOS."

So, if a big ipad like this is a "pro" device, where does a fully functional computing device, running UNIX, that you interact with on the command line fit in ?

I'm speaking of (for instance) my mac pro running OSX.

If what we see today is for "pros", then two questions come to mind:

1. What am I ? A wizard ? A demi-god ? A great elder ?

2. Can I reasonably expect Apple to make products for wizards ? Is there any money in that ?
I've recently switched back to an old Nokia feature phone and holy shit, it's incredible when I hold it up to my ear...I can actually grab the entire thing in the palm of my hand.

The 16GB base model wasn't sufficient for the 6/6+, and is even less sufficient now with the 4K videos and 50% more megapixels (which I imagine would be on by default).

In the previous models (5/5s, 4s) the base model provided enough memory for doing most things comfortably. Now you actually HAVE to get the intermediate model to do anything useful (unless you're in masochistic mood). So the intermediate model (costing $100 more) becomes the entry level model.

I would even go so far to say that the 16/64/128GB memory gradation, coupled with the slippery 6/6s (slip and break more often ==> more AppleCare purchases and/or service repair costs) are intentional.

I understand capitalism and all that, but this is just pure greed and they're not doing much to hide it.
Then I guess the OP had another definition of "book" in mind. However, I'll say this: if Jim wants to write a complete book on Rust, I'd love to buy it. I'm more than halfway through his report and it has exactly the tone that I'm looking for in a programming book: clear, logical progression, to the point and no excessive humour that some books suffer from (I'm reading a book on Go (the game) at the moment and every paragraph contains a self-deprecating joke. It gets old after 2 or 3.)
The finger would obscure part of the display, but it would likely leave enough uncovered that you have the information you need to decide whether you want to actually open the resource, don't want to, or want to act (using the contextual gesture things)

Current nightly will be stable in 7 weeks, actually, there's a release a week from tomorrow.

That doesn't mean that everything that's available on nightly will be available in stable in seven weeks, of course. Everything lands as stable and then is made stable at some point in the future, at least one full cycle after it's landed. There's lots of pre-Rust 1.0 stuff that's still nightly-only.

I love that little piece, I've got to save it somewhere!
Yeah, I'm curious about this too. It seems like (continuing to use Rust parlance) your three examples are (respectively) `None`, `Some(None)`, and `Some(Some(some value of interest))`. There is no `None(None)` case, so there's no problem.
They're doomed!

That's always kind of been Apple's thing, though. The controller does look somewhat original.

I suspect that the content providers looked carefully at what happened to the music industry when they played ball with Apple (especially the unilateral killing of DRM on iTunes; the last holdouts were supposedly told to drop the DRM or be kicked off) and decide that they don't want any of that, thank you very much.
Youre going to spend that much money for youtube? Couldn't you do the same with a 35 dollar chromecast?
Oh god, haha. I've been tempted to do this before. I ended up just writing a parser in PHP. The idea was to compile the code to phar and then bootstrap the compiler in Liphp (I chose Liphp because of the mashup AND to tease my mrs about her childhood lisp in an original way).

Before the bracket-syntax for arrays, this would have been awful to maintain.

My interpretation of the keynote: The screen flexes a tiny bit when you press on it (which my iPhone 6 does as well, so this doesn't necessarily imply new materials). They now have sensors behind the screen to quantify the flexing, and translate that into "force".

I assume, by their explanation, that it's actually a normal 12MP still image, jpg/raw, and the "live photo" is an additional video along side the picture that opens seamlessly when you activate it.

Being realistic, nobody is going to use these for water bottles either. And even if they did how many water bottles do you really need?

K-Cups are wasteful, but at least they ship three months (90 K-Cups) at a time and there is very little wasted space during shipping (it is just packed coffee). Is it a waste of plastic/foil? Absolutely. But in terms of shipping waste, K-Cups aren't near the worst.

These on the other hand are shipping around tap water. That uses up fuel, it uses up space, and it arguably wastes even more plastic. There's no reason this couldn't be shipped as a powder and sell you months and months of the stuff.

The saddest part is that they USED to sell the product like that. They're moving to this method to increase the price (and let's not pretend: It is a marked increase).
Audience gave Schiller the exact response he wanted (notice the silence and the delayed laughter). On paper it look like Apple is giving credit to Microsoft, but the subtext is: it's a joke, don't take the sentence too seriously, and Apple is still better at productivity.

Are you serious? The products are substantially different.

If you look at the nutritional info for Ensure[1] and Soylent[2] you'll see that Soylent has more calories, more fat, no cholesterol, more sodium, more potassium, less sugar, more protein.

Most important, Soylent has a more even distribution of the daily % of vitamins and minerals. If you drink 3 bottles of Ensure you're up to 180% daily value of Vitamin C, 240% of Vitamin D, 180% Manganese. The even distribution makes it easier for it to act as a complete meal replacement not just a diet or sports supplement.

My feeling is also that Soylent measures more and tweaks their formula more. Their goal is to be a good cheap meal for everyone:

Soylent is a food product (classified as a food, not a supplement, by the FDA) designed for use as a staple meal by all adults. Each serving of Soylent provides maximum nutrition with minimum effort.

In a paycheck or two I'll buy a bunch of these and they'll be my lunch and breakfast replacement. Things like Ensure don't cut it as a staple meal.

uBlock Origin is packaged with all the filter lists which are selected by default: EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's, etc. This ensures that it will work out of the box immediately even if the respective remote servers are not responding, not an uncommon occurrence with the server hosting EasyList et al.

The size of the package is not a factor to performance -- removing EasyList, EasyPrivacy, etc. from the package would not make uBlock Origin faster or slower.
Amen to the article. Science is more than a belief system.

Dekhn is incorrect to say the Article summary (that is the post title) is incorrect.

The relevant paragraphs from the article are:

Similarly, when religious actions or claims about sanctity can be made with impunity in our society, we undermine the very basis of modern secular democracy. We owe it to ourselves and to our children not to give a free pass to governments—totalitarian, theocratic, or democratic—that endorse, encourage, enforce, or otherwise legitimize the suppression of open questioning in order to protect ideas that are considered “sacred.” Five hundred years of science have liberated humanity from the shackles of enforced ignorance. We should celebrate this openly and enthusiastically, regardless of whom it may offend.

If that is what causes someone to be called a militant
atheist, then no scientist should be ashamed of the label.

If you have a product called the Widget v6, and the Widget v6 Plus, then you introduce the Widget v6X and the Widget v6X Plus, it's natural to think that these 4 different product are all versions of one flagship model: Widget v6.

Yes, the trolling reoccurs. Key is how excited the marketplace is for which product, naysayers aside. As others note: the iPod wasn't new, but it was subjectively better than anything else out there.
This!

This is one of the key skills that I got from my training in science. That and literature research. And designing experiments. Getting emotionally attached to some hypothesis is very dangerous. But on the other hand, sometimes the hypothesis is OK, and it's the experimental design and technique that are hosed.
Thanks for clarifying that, I'll be excited to read his book when it comes out. Also looking forward to grabbing a paper copy of yours – thanks for making that happen!
They already have it implemented in their watch and latest-gen trackpads, so there's that.
The others are designed to do that, but the jury is still out on if any specific product and completely replace food with one shake/formula. Be it Ensure, or Soylent.
