You can indeed make your own movies, and a way to stream from Final Cut to your Apple TV is sorely lacking - AirPlay is too choppy. However, playing generic video files is just about the worst way to support this capability, because you can expect to wait 2-10 hours for your movie to render to a file, even on top-end hardware. The more "Apple" solution to this problem is streaming to an Apple TV app hooked into the Final Cut preview mechanism.

You can license movies from creators in ways other than the general release, and I have worked with content obtained this way in auditorium film screenings. You definitely wouldn't use an Apple TV for that, though, you use high-end rackmount DVD/Blu-Ray players, HDCP media servers, or specialized cue playback software so that the audience doesn't see you fumbling with controls - they're on a dedicated interface. Granted there are scenarios other than public exhibition, but if it's for consumption in your living room then it's pretty much by definition general release.

Apple is one of the first movers in killing physical media. At this point I don't think you can even buy a Mac with a built-in DVD drive; facilitating playback of ripped DVDs would be pretty low on the priority list.

Closest thing I can anticipate would be a way to play videos from your Photos library - intended for the ones you shot on your iPhone. It would probably be possible to import an unencumbered video file there, and stream it across your house with Home Sharing, which has been built into the iLife suite for a few years.
As someone who has boxes of the powder sitting around, I'm thrilled to get it pre-mixed in a bottle. The entire convenience factor of Soylent was largely eroded by the mixing and cleaning process, and I'll be happy to have ready-to-drink bottles that I don't have to scrub down for tomorrow's meal.
That's mostly why... to get unsuspecting people to visit those referral links wondering where the traffic is coming from.
Ok. Easier to build for? In a business environment that's running all Windows servers and workstations? I don't know any small or medium sized businesses that employ iOS devs in-house...

You need Macs to build iOS software. Meanwhile, you can find Visual Studio already being employed in most business IT shops to build custom desktop and web software. I can't remember the last time I saw a job ad for an iOS developer that wasn't for a one-off gig or a mobile apps shop (or a marketing agency).
Isn't the alternative to just buy a bigger phone, which they also sell?

And to handle the backups yourself, import your own photos, store them wherever you like. None of this has changed as far as I can see.
I mean, there's definitely a good argument that V8 is most advanced, but, for example, JSC is the only one that has the LLVM 'fourth tier', and it shows on asm.js benchmarks, where it mostly beats V8 (loses to Firefox, but that has asm.js-specific code while the others don't):

http://arewefastyet.com/#machine=29&view=breakdown&suite=asm...

So I think the question of "most advanced" is basically subjective.

Don't get me wrong! I would strongly prefer if iOS allowed any JIT to be used. I just think calling the one that can be used "most advanced" is not wrong per se.
On a large scale, an iPad. Enterprise certs make this easy.
I wonder how long they tried to negotiate the rights to calling it "harry potter photos" but just couldn't swing it.

I had the same reaction. I started buying http://www.mealsquares.com/ instead. They are very dry if not warmed up but they taste like chocolatey oatmeal instead of rotten milk.
At the moment the Bitcoin blockchain is 40+ GB, meaning everyone involved in the network should have it locally. This is not possible for mobile devices.

Relying on blockchain technology is needed only when everyone should trust on something, but once you have the peer to peer connection this is no longer needed.
But if you had a small screen you would not buy any apps from apples store? You have not thought this trough.

No one cares about 3 megabytes of disk usage. I did a quick memory "benchmark" for you. This is loading TechCrunch in 64 bit Chrome for Mac:

* uBlock Origin: 92,9 MB

* Adblock Fast: 54,7 MB

Considering uBlock Origin packs a lot of functionality (and lists) which your extension lacks, you don't really have much advantage (if any).

Also, consuming a "lower percentage of CPU" is counterproductive. Adblockers should peak the CPU for the smallest amount of time possible, not use a little percentage of CPU time during a longer period of time as you advertise. That's just ridiculous.

I'm not sure I trust the opinion of people who bought the Apple Watch. They seem to be the kind who are most likely to drink the kool-aid.

This seems like one of those features that looks kind of cool in a demo, but in practice you don't end up using it much. Time will tell.
Yes. Concepts of elegance and Occam's razor come to mind.
I sympathize with this, although playing devils advocate ... if adobe has web-based photoshop (which I think they do ?) then does it matter ?
Case in point, self-driving cars. No one's offering that right now, because they all believe it sucks (at this point). But that doesn't mean that when they do offer it that it will be a bad idea.
Yes, they are playing catch up in the cover keyboard and stylus categories. However, they are still dominating mobile, revamping their TV line, and growing in a shrinking PC market. Oh and also they just released a pretty successful watch.

Just saying, I think Apple is still a pretty innovative company.
$80 is definitely too much, but fwiw there is a difference between Apple's chargers and the $3 aftermarket competition: http://www.righto.com/2014/05/a-look-inside-ipad-chargers-pr...
This is fair. I was thinking of this in the context of GC'd languages, where one instead has nullable types (or sentinel null values). Eg. Java, C#, Python, Ruby, Scala.

The C++ case where a distinction between `foo = null` and `*foo = null` exists is indeed much closer to a an option type. You're right to point it out.

Interesting, didn't realize Gorilla Glass was designed to flex, but it seems that was an advertised feature of Gorilla Glass 3.
Side question, does anybody have any experience with their RailGun feature, is it worth it? We recently switched to CF and mostly use them as a CDN and we're quite happy, good value for the money.
Yeah that was the biggest thing for me too. We knew what was coming with the iPhone, Apple TV and iPad Pro. That upgrade program is going to be a big thing in my opinion.

One thing I wasn't sure about though was do you own the phone or are you just leasing it? When you upgrade after a year do you have to return your old phone?
That's sort of a bad fit because of relative amount, but if legs are cheap and detachable, and they offer a $100 service that will fix a broken leg, they're being jerks if they won't just sell you a $20 leg.
For $799 you could get a nice TV and an Apple TV.
I agree. I paid $600 for my 52 inch 4K... and it's not a cheap Chinese one, it's a samsung smart tv with native streaming, voice command, and multi-axis remote..

They are going to miss the boat if 4k explodes this black friday.
From what I see, Sony is the only manufacturer currently offering a high end phone at a smaller size with the Xperia Compact line. Still 5 inches tall though.
Another amazing thing about old Nokia phones is the sound when you hear another person talking. I wish they could bring "good telephone" back to these smartphones.
I've been hanging on to my iPhone 4S for this very reason. The battery is nearly shot after 4 years, but I would call that a pretty good run by today's standards (Take that, planned obsolescence!).

Jim is outside the Rust project, other than working for the same employer as many of the Rust developers.
It's a linear reaction to the amount of force you apply. So it seems to be implemented in a number of ways. They demonstrated contextual menus, as well as peaking (holding with a bit of force) where you could then push harder to "pop" into the content or relax to go back to what you were doing.

It seems highly similar to the Watch — including the haptic feedback (which to me is an important part of what makes the interaction work on the watch).
I'm not the sort of person to update phones every year (I've had my current phone for almost two years and the one before that for six years), but it's often cheaper to pay the flat price when upgrading every two years than to pay the reduced price with the contract. It all depends on how your carrier structures their plans.
My favorite argument for food being more than just a percentual composition of nutrients is the fact that your gut is effectively able to smell.

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3600440/]

Beyond my scepticism regarding the long-term benefit of a simplification of eating down to relying to a single designed food source - I am also worried about the mindset of a person who is motivated in doing so.
They've done this before; the ATV1 didn't support 1080p, at a time when 1080p TVs were starting to exist in the semi-mainstream (though the vast majority of the market was 720p or 1080i still), but there was little content for them.

Ultimately, it'd presumably add cost for a feature useful to few people. Connectivity for 4k also remains a mess; there's HDMI 1.4 (24hz at 4k, so not good enough; the interface presumably runs at 60fps like all other Apple interfaces), and HDMI 2.0, which does support 60hz at 4k, but which is somewhat rare, and has its own problems: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/168-hdmi-q-one-connector-world...

I expect in a couple of years when 4k TVs are more common, content exists for them in significant amounts, and the connector standard (possibly HDMI 2.0a?) is sorted out, they'll support it.
If you're building your own software why pick one or the other when you can just build a web app and call it a day? When you're building a new app from scratch for your company why on earth would you go native unless you absolutely had to?
There is VLC for iOS.
I get where you're going, but I would argue that Apple's brand image isn't luxury at all. Apple sits squarely in the mid-to-high end bracket — anyone who's essentially "middle class" can afford Apple products, and their pricing indicates this. Examples of luxury brands that few people can afford: Hermes bags, Lambourghini cars, Cartier watches.

This isn't sustainable. Photos/video/music/apps will continue to grow in size and Apple clearly isn't scaling their storage options at the same rate. I already pay out the nose for upgraded iPhone storage and continually run into limits with reasonable usage. Backups are great, but pointless for "hot" data that I, ya know, want to use on my phone (which isn't usually within the vicinity of a backup drive).
Which is odd because you would think a community like this the actors would be forward thinking and try and see what the possibilities are. The lack of creativity isn't unique to this place or generation - Slashdot had similar sentiments years ago when they still mattered.
I'll guess theme() was inspired by s-expressions, whether consciously or not. The theme() function dates from when Dries was a CS student writing a lot of the code himself.

(It's also worth noting that theme() hasn't worked this way since 2011; it now takes a more PHP-style associative array of named options.)

At which time they will no doubt support it. Right now it'd be an extra expense of use to very few users, and they'd have to deal with the connectivity problem.
I understand all of that, but how is it relevant to the question of the utility, legality, and morality of libraries and file sharing? The fact that people can do legally or morally questionable things with the stuff they borrow from libraries has no real bearing on the legality or morality of the libraries themselves.
Claims 23 LTE bands with up to 300Mbps, that means it is a category 6 LTE UE which means you will only get that if the carrier you are using has deployed Carrier Aggregation and you have a really really good signal and the you Carrier deployed backhaul that can handle that speed. So, don't hold your breath !
It's possible that Soylent is replacing meals that would have otherwise been fast food or takeout, both of which waste both cardboard and plastic.

I don't imagine a lot of people are eschewing home-cooked meals for meal replacement shakes.

I know they're working on higher kinded types, i think there's some fancy template-template syntax you can use in c++ to get the same effect.

It's easy to define a list of integers in pretty much any language,

class IntList { void addInt(){...} }

Most languages let you make a generic List,

class List<T> { void add(T){...} }

The thing that's cool about HKT, is it lets you swap the other side,

class T<Integer> { T operate(Integer) }

So you can deal with a Set or a List or an Optional or whatever might want to deliver integers. It seems a little goofy, but it's sort of like a Super Lambda. an anonymous function can only really do its one thing, but this lets you bundle a bunch of related lambdas together, so if you have, say Pay, you can group together all the different types of tax that are applied to pay, calculate total tax, etc. And it works over whatever random data structure you want

It seems a little crazy at first, but with clean syntax, it's a fantastic way to split the work apart from the way the data is represented.
Jumped on here to say this as well, this does not make Soylent look appetizing or make me want to buy it. It does the exact opposite. It makes the product look bland, generic, manufactured and unappealing.
It's clear they haven't made a "better, faster" adblock, just one they can pass off as "faster" with misleading benchmarks all for the goal of not fighting on behalf of the user, but for advertising their app firm.
Cost is definitely not similar. Building your own CDN network is not cheap and CloudFlare provides DNS + SSL + lots of locations + better routing + free bandwidth.

The servers, ssl and bandwidth costs alone would be more than their fees for any big site.
> The saddest part is that they USED to sell the product like that.

They still do. They've said they will for the foreseeable future, and will continue to update it.

IMHO, the new bottles are to aim at a more casual demographic. They at least seem more convenient.
Because it adds complexity to the user experience. Most people don't need handwritten notes. How would a stylus help with their text messaging or photo taking? They're fine just pressing on the on-screen keyboard. Hell, they don't even teach cursive writing in school anymore. So, a stylus is STILL not a valid useful device for the average person.

You'll notice that they introduced this stylus for the iPad Pro, and not for the regular iPad. This stylus is for a specific pro user that actually needs a pen input.
Sadly thinner and smaller means cutting down the battery by a lot.

I had the same problem with 1.4, I found adding 2 tbsp of cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp of sugar, per pouch made it taste more like a chocolate protein shake, and way more bearable.
It's a software problem though.

Every "Smart TV" has garbage software features. Some become completely unusable during the hour it takes them to download and install weekly updates.

Apple creates new markets by switching the equation from 90% hardware/10% software focus to 70% software/30% hardware focus.

As for the xbone, that's more of a marketing/positioning argument. Just because a game console can be a home media center doesn't mean people will buy it for one. xbones are for teenagers who want to be racist over their headset connections online.

Would I like to impose the experience machine to all of humanity or at least all those that I love?

My answer doesn't change. Actually, I would go to great lengths to prevent imposing such a fate on humanity.

I may be naive in thinking this but human emotions and euphoria can probably be boiled down to a chemical reaction in our brain such that brain activity of someone experiencing something pleasurable in "real life" and that of someone taking a substance simulating these same feelings would be indistinguishable.

However, I believe there is so much more to existence than our own perception even though I am not spiritual at all.
You're right, once you hit the digital realm things change a lot.

Which is exactly why I think it's silly to think that one's views on libraries must decide one's views on file sharing. They're extremely different things.
It was. The maintainer of jsdom decided to no longer support node after 3.x and made the library throw a condescending exception if you tried to run it with node. The docs were also filled with childish "tm" symbols whenever node was mentioned.

I see things like this all the time and it really puts me off OSS.
Isn't this really about branding yourself on twitter? If you talk more about diversity and gain a following based on that wouldn't your followers pay more attention that? Also we have no idea of how much overlap there is between those who are mostly interested in Technology and those that seek out Tweets about Social Justice and in/equality.

Are these two groups the same people? If not, what do her followers gain from her technical expertise?

They may have the same number followers but I doubt they have the same followers. I think the mistake here is the idea that Twitter is a single minded person and not a large collection of different people with various backgrounds and classes.

To recap:

Men tweet more often and more often about Tech. Men seem to have their tweets on tech re-tweeted more often than their tweets on diversity.

Women Tweet less often and more often about Social/Diversity issues. Women are engaged more about Social/Diversity topics.

How much do followers/re-tweeters of these two groups overlap?

--------

I wonder if what this really says is that people prefer to talk about subjects they are comfortable with and enjoy sharing their thoughts with people who share a predominant interest in those subjects.

(If there is very little or no overlap) I wonder if the majority of tech followers feel they have little to say or add to the talk of diversity and maybe even feel as though it isn't their place to be involved. I wonder if the Diversity followers have very little interest or knowledge about technology to engage with the author (and others) on tech topics.

Also I’m not sure this says much about the industry. How sure are we that the random people chosen by the author are representative of the industry? How would this be measured? I’m not sure this tells me anything.
Yet another extreme religion being incredibly damaging to society and women in particular.

You can replace the battery. The removal is a bit frightening (there's a shit-ton of glue so you're tearing the battery apart to get it out), but aside from that it's a 10mn~15mn job (first time, being careful), did that on my own 4S. Biggest annoyance (aside from fear of piercing the battery while you're tearing it out) is some sort of pressure/spring-loaded contact inside which is a pain to get back in place.

ifixit sells complete replacement kits (battery + plastic forcing tool + pentalobe driver + replacement philips screws) for $25, or just the battery for $20, you can probably find even cheaper parts elsewhere.

My mindset is that I live alone and I heavily dislike cooking food. When not consuming soylent, I live entirely off of take-out and delivery food. There is almost no way that Soylent isn't more healthy than the stuff I would otherwise eat.
