Does it appear as an App Store update to anyone running the latest dev build?

I redeemed my copy but it indicated I should update from the Updates page rather than downloading the full package, however the updates page is empty.
Maybe now that we have had time for some perspective we can adopt the good parts of past cultural practices without having to have them supported by all the bad parts that accompanied them at that time. Let's also not get too generous about our own time, we may not have child labor in this country but we participate in a global market that does and the prices we pay for our goods are lower because of it.
I don't agree with the idea that Cargo is just going to magically make all fragmentation disappear, simply because it's convenient, good, and available. If this were true, I would suspect we'd have seen some of this fragmentation stop in these other ecosystems: it hasn't, despite excellent tooling.

I'm not suggesting a Python-esque stdlib. I'm suggesting a multi-threaded, cross-platform, (ideally, edge-triggered) event system, above which higher level primitives can be introduced and safely interoperate.

If Rust already has std/net, this is not that far of a gap to close. Granted, implementing a reactor or (higher level) green threads greatly affects the way your programs execute, in my opinion, the benefits of a "blessed way" would outweigh the problems.

Also, as with all of those languages with fragmented ecosystems: nothing is preventing a developer from implementing their own solutions, they're just heavily encouraged to be compatible.

Can anyone comment if the GM fixes the battery problems Beta 1 had? I was on the first beta awhile back, and my 2012 rMBP got about an hour battery life (I usually get closer to ~3-4) and was always hot to the touch.

The same thing happened to me with Mavericks, so I chalked it up to Apple not optimizing the early betas for battery life.
Wow, that is really disappointing to hear. The magazine has always been very high quality while the network has been.. ok.

Reportedly, in Agatha Christie’s autobiography, she mentioned how "she never thought she would ever be wealthy enough to own a car - nor so poor that she wouldn’t have servants". Worth a thought.
It'd be cool if this pushed to slack or something like that or anywhere really. Like a daily commit.

Sort of like what hakka logs used to be:

"Log anything that has to do with building software or a software business. Are you learning a new language? Log it. Debugging that side project? Log it. Adding features to your killer startup? Log it. Be as specific as you like. The more specific you are the more specific your matches will be."

I'm not afraid of taxes. I'm pointing out the cost.

And it's about focus. I live in Vancouver. The city should probably be focusing on the downtown eastside and on transit. In SF, the city should probably focus on Muni/BART and the Tenderloin. It's a matter of focus.

It's about competency. The city's website and mobile Apps are not very good. The coffee shops in my neighborhood can't get wifi right. I don't have confidence in the city being able to deliver wifi better than that.

Cost. Focus. Competence.
It's listed as "OS X El Capitan GM Candidate" under the Purchases tab. Full 6 GB download like the final release will be for users coming from Yosemite, rather than an incremental update on top of the beta.

Unless I'm missing something, anyway.

I worked on a product once that provided users an interactive graph. The users could apply layout algorithms AND modify the grqph by moving nodes and edges around. From time to time, nodes and edges would be added and removed by the system.

So there's a distinction there between the graph, and layout of the graph ie x,y coordinates of nodes, and routing of edges. What would version control track? This is a non trivial problem imo. Edit; specifically, storing a graph in some canonical form so that trivial changes would not create massive 'false positives' in the diff. For example changing an edge indicatin an entire sub graph was added or removed. The problem is similar to xml tree diffing.

This is why I think versioning in these tools is pretty much non existent, imo of course.

not to leave out that Admiral Yi was arrested and tortured for saving the country and becoming more popular than the King himself. Dissent was very high and there are some records of Korean civilians who chose to side with the Japanese in hope they could be liberated from the oppressive pre-North Korea Chosun dynasty, that ultimately failed it's people.

You won't find many sympathizers for the Chosun Kings apart from the one hit wonders like Sejong who invented the Korean alphabet.

Sounds like a good way to teach programming :)
I would suggest that it's because you are putting the architecture in place. I work professionally in a code base that is hitting a Norris number and is suffering from little to no architectural direction in the past and some parts are very difficult to work in.
I've personally worked on code bases at these thresholds. Here is my resulting opinion.

A junior programmer can do < 2k lines. Think a stand alone command-line tool. This is indeed something that a single person can understand. Learning skills around modularity and consistency gets you beyond this.

A mid-level developer can do < 20k lines. You may have one or several people on the team, but it is still small enough that you can pretty much know the whole thing. An example of something at this size is a typical Ruby website. To get beyond this you need to have a pattern to your organization, and a good sense of how to create and maintain abstraction layers between different parts of the system.

A 200k system is small enough for a senior developer to navigate and understand without significant documentation, and can be created by a small team. The architecture has to be clear, but you don't need specialized documentation. When it comes time to add or find something, the overall architecture and patterns will tell you where to look. You may land in unfamiliar code, but you will know that it has to be there, and roughly what it has to be. As for size, a small to medium company can run on this much code. For example I was at Rent.com when we were sold to eBay for over $400 million in 2004. This was about how much code we had.

At 2M, there are a lot of teams. You may have specific tooling just to help you maintain sanity. You definitely have documentation. There are so many people doing so many things that you cannot rely on people following key conventions, instead you are likely to try to enforce them. Examples of projects at this general size would be a browser like Chrome, a compiler like gcc, and so on.

What about 20 million lines of code? These are large projects carried out by large organizations over many years. Examples that I have seen include the current Linux kernel, Windows NT 4.0, and eBay circa 2006. The specialized tooling that was being considered for a 2 million line project is now required, and there is a lot of it. Documentation is extensive. Figuring out who to talk to to find out about something can be a struggle. And so on.

What about larger than that? There are few examples that have turned out well. The only person who I personally believe has done it well is http://research.google.com/people/jeff/, and I'm firmly of the belief that without him Google could not have become what they did.

As for what is fun, I personally like the 200k project size best. It isn't fun until you have the skills to contribute well. But once you do, you have the complexity while still having a team small enough that you can personally know everyone who is involved. But YMMV.

Plausible deniability about what ?
Surface Tension
To save you guys a lot of time (years of reading an artifact-infested literature), let me give you my 5 cents.

The fact that a misfolded protein can lead to aberrant protein aggregation is known for many years and is certainly true for CJD (a big discovery). It is not the first time that people try to pitch the idea that AD is a prion disease.

Apart from a few very powerful individuals in the field, most scientists believe that the amyloid depositions DO NOT CAUSE the disease, but maybe they are a part of the pathophysiological process (immuno response?). Some facts:
-Do you see the depositions in healthy individuals? Yes (but fewer mostly in certain areas of the brain)
-Do the levels of the amyloid deposition correlate with the degree of dementia? No concensus
-Do amyloid deposition in vitro induce neurodegeneration or abnormal electrophysiology? No
-Have all drugs so far with published data of phase III clinical trials based on the amyloid hypothesis failed? Yes (maybe the last one not miserably)

But the problem is that the amyloid cascade hypothesis is at this point the only working hypothesis for AD and people do not want to lose their grant money or positions in pharma and go back to begin from scratch to find what is really causing AD.

How I came to forgive my rapist
> Yet a growing group of intelligence analysts persisted with their complaints. For some, who have served at CENTCOM for more than a decade, scars remained from the run-up to the 2003 war in Iraq, when poorly written intelligence reports suggesting Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, when it did not, formed the basis of the George W. Bush administration’s case for war.

I'm reminded of the quote from Karl Rove dismissing the "reality-based community" as subordinate and inferior to "history's actors" which shape reality according to their whims. Of course the mindset goes back a lot further than that, and more than the American government is guilty of it, but in the US intelligence community it seems to have gotten a real shot in the arm during the Bush administration. Unfortunately, like many other terrible precedents set during that Presidency, our current President has done little to reverse it.

If we've really gotten to the point where anyone in Washington can question whether "solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality" as though there is even a debate to be had there, without being laughed out of the city, then the real mystery of American government is how it manages to function as well as it does. This is a meme that needs to be rooted out and thoroughly destroyed.

Shared-state threads in the same memory space. They could do I/O independently, lock and unlock critical sections, and block on semaphores. Worked fine. To create a new thread, you called FORK$. See section 8, page 2, of the 1966 EXEC 8 manual.[1]

Here are Djykstra's P and V functions for the UNIVAC 1108, to run in user space. Written in 1972.[2]

I once added support for threads to Pascal for that machine. Had to add per-thread stacks and manage non-contiguous stack growth.

> Apple are truly unique in their ability to deliver improvements, introduce new technologies, and implement existing technologies in ways that are actually usable, while keeping regressions and serious problems low, much lower than the competition.

I like Apple products as much as the next guy, but cmon, this is some serious kool-aid drinking here.

Apple doesn't produce software that is any less issue prone than any other vendor. In fact the chorus complaining about software regressions has been getting louder and louder, even from Apple fans.

Yosemite was a particularly low point with regard to Apple software.

http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/the-worst-bugs-in-os-x-yosemit...

http://www.tekrevue.com/yosemite-bugs-time-for-another-snow-...

Software is hard. Apple aren't special, their software has just as many issues as any other vendor's, which is actually kind of disappointing given they have full control of the hardware, MS actually does a lot better with regard to software quality given the varied HW landscape Windows is deployed to.

Edit: Software quality isn't just a Yosemite issue with Apple, it's a long running joke that you should never install a X.0 OSX release due to bugs.

I agree, we haven't achieved a good society for all. And yes, we could learn things as well (which factors allowed the scientific and technological booming, for instance?), but I don't think lifestyle mimicry and luddism are good tools to do this.

Also which is "this country"? :P
I'm not sure what you're trying to point out. It looks like TVMLJS is the framework that the current set of "Apps" are built with. They're basically dashboard widgets that display XML and Javascript.

First thing my wife said when I told her about this article: "I can tell they don't have kids"
I remember in secondary school our psych teacher told us he was going to conduct an experiment. Without going into the full setup, it was a simple experiment where 3 of the 4 participants were "in" on it and had canned responses to see if there was any influence on the behavior of the actual single subject.

We were all brought into the classroom one by one so that each person would be deceived, then debriefed, and then would take part in deceiving the next person brought in.

The absolute raw feeling of being deceived is quite an intense emotion... Even when you know everyone prior to you was also deceived.

So to think a doctor who maintains a confidentiality agreement with their patient, someone who is trusted completely by their patient, might deceive them. Ethical considerations aside: it is just a shitty thing to do.
Why did you stick with PHP, if you were the only programmer and clearly prefered other languages? Too much legacy code?

IF can totally be a function in a lazy language.
It's a curious thing in business. People will do all sorts of things to keep from losing a big customer to a competitor. Some big companies keep multiple vendors and play them off each other. If I don't like you this week I place an order with the other guys.

Intel's weak spot has always (or at least often) been mips per watt. Apple has a whole slew of products in the ultraportable niche and given their focus could easily have more.

If a custom ARM-like chip gives them the option to stop using Intel chips on everything but the MacBook Pro line, that would be worth a lot to them, even if they continued to use Intel chips on those devices. Just the threat gets them concessions.
Nor space efficient... (depending on the wavelength).
As I said: "Still waiting for Apple to approve my new developer account, A direct link to the download would be appreciated."

Generally once a GM has been released and a download is available the .dmg installer is available if not from Apple's website, from application download or update cache after installing it from the app store.
You are right, iPads had always 4:3, mea culpa.

"The aspect ratio of A4, 1:1.414 is near the average of 1.5 for 2:3 and 1.333 for 3:4. US Letter is 1.294.

Still Surface Pro 3 aspect is better than 16:9 (1.78) at least.

You'll need the whole 6 GiB download, there's (currently) no delta upgrade available. It also doesn't seem there will be, based off of the note from Apple (see link).

The 64 and 128 GB models subsidize the cheaper 16 GB in a way. Even though 16 GB still has a huge profit margin.

It will be interesting once people start doing teardowns, and we can see if apple has reduced or increased their margins
Is it just me, or was that article more fluff than anything else?

I have a Kobo ereader and so use Pocket for saving articles that I want to read later, away from the computer. Have found it works very well for this. (That said, if my ereader integrated Instapaper or Readability I’d probably be just as happy.)

My one complaint is that every now and again it finds an article it cannot extract the main content from. In that case it never ends up on my ereader, and there’s no obvious indication that there is a problem.

To track my readying habits, I wrote a little PHP browser based application that interfaces with the Pocket API (and the hn.algolia.com API). Once I’ve read an article I archive it. Then when I’m back at my computer I run my app, which lists the archived articles, any related Hacker News pages, and lets me manage the articles (delete, save locally, etc.). It makes it easy for me to follow up and read the HN discussions after I’ve found the time to read the article.

Naturally I called it Pocket Lint.
> We see less and less such ideas from Apple.

Disagree. This is a really commonly held viewpoint that I think is the product of our fast news cycles, and I don't think it approaches truth for another several years.

You are totally right that iPod and iPhone were not the first. While these were cool products when they came out, I think what's often lost is that it was only in the years of incremental improvements that defined how important these products were.

Tons of use cases are being unlocked in health, education, home automation, transportation, payments, enterprise, etc that these markets have been waiting for and wanting and are truly transformative. They're just not talked about as much, or hit that level of 'omg' for people who aren't dealing with those use cases, but they're real. The less sexy incremental stuff is amazing, and in fact, way more interesting because so few companies get the details right.

Just like you're saying about not being first, most blow-your-mind ideas that will come out in the next 10 years are probably already thought of, prototyped, or launched in some highly crippled form to an extremely limited audience. Two amazing things we can assume are in the pipeline are:

1. Driverless car, which will fundamentally change our transportation infrastructure.

2. Eye tracking and face tracking, which unlock new interaction paradigms that are even more natural and seamless. See the recent Faceshift acquisition [1] for evidence.

These are going to be awesome! But they'll take time to perfect.

I'm not sure what qualifies as innovations for you. I'll admit I'm not blown away by today's stuff, it is S-cycle after all, but I am impressed by the way they've implemented 3D touch. Its the first force touch implementation (vs watch and macbook) that I really like because it looks incredibly intuitive and everyday useful - like something that I'll wonder how I lived without.

Well anyway, I think we'd probably agree about a lot things, but I'd be curious as to what big innovation you've got in mind that's missing. Cheers.

I think its pretty clear from that page:

- You can use all the iOS Frameworks you know and like to build/port your full-fledged apps for apple TV

- You can build simple apps ("ideal for streaming media") with XML/JS.

This means everybody can hack something together to get their online video onto the apple TV (video bloggers, local tv stations etc), but obviously for more complex stuff (e.g. games) you'd use the usual frameworks from iOS.
It performs OK in software, but a fast pure-software implementation requires secret-dependent table lookups, which creates a hard-to-mask side channel.
