tldr: My mom has no idea what force touch is. She'd not going to get 3d touch.

I love all of this, but it seems to me that there is really becoming a divide in the type of people who can fully appreciate/employ the UI nuances? I'm not a photographer, and basically only use photoshop to crop and do bullish things. But I know there's a whole universe of things I could do, if I appreciated the power set tools.

I think that's where many "smart" products are going, but because they are distributed to the masses (unlike PS for instance), that divide means something else.

For some people this is going to make their "daily lives" more enjoyable. For another set of folks, perhaps equal in size even, I think a lot of this stuff will just go over their heads.

Note that the trait-based scheme referenced here would only prohibit specific kinds of memory leaks. "Leaking", in its broadest usage, isn't a solvable problem in a Turing-complete language since an infinite loop can be considered a leak.
Have you tried force touch on an Apple watch? There is definitely a big difference between the two there. I've never once messed it up.
Apple’s iPhone Market Grew 75% Year Over Year in China
yes. I'm suggesting the capacity trained and required to write safe-C is the same capacity applied to, e.g., higher level functions of your mind-- such as conceiving of, not developing, but conceiving of some of the performant optimizations in Rust in the first place.

Like a fertilizer that stimulates growth while young but a crutch which stunts advancement in old age.
Hearty +1 from me, then, but I'm pretty sure you can do this as a standalone app on the App Store without needing Apple to give you anything. You'd basically be running busybox on a bizarro version of a unikernel / rump kernel (or, alternatively, a bizarro version of User-Mode Linux).
The Acer Chromebook 15 is giant, has great battery life, stands itself up, and you can buy two of them for the price of an iPad.

No iTunes, but you can get the same content other places.
I can see Plex being in the app store (it's in the iOS app store) but the siri integration would be killer but can't see it happening sadly.
Well, there's a couple things here:

* Universal Search - which they're doing with everything else - the user is trying to find a very specific content.

* Recommended Shows - the user is looking for things to Watch

Netflix could easily plug into both of these to capture the user - but they plug into neither and instead opt to create a suboptimal flow for the user.

What they're doing here is that, when on Android I search for a Show I never see a "Watch on Netflix" button.

And there's never interesting movies to watch on Netflix highlighted on my homescreen.

They're not doing themselves any favors by NOT having this functionality.
People fantasize too much about capitalism. The definition of capitalism is: capital and income are expressed under the same monetary unit (like mass and energy could be):

income = capital x interest rate

The former alternatives was to put capital in a separate "namespace". In Middle Ages, only nobles could have land and land was the only capital that could exist ("usury" was forbidden, you know). Then came mercantilism, that defined wealth as a quantity of gold that one had; and so on.

Capitalism will certainly pass, but hopefully not going back to restricting access to capital. I imagined something like a "complex" interest rate, with the imaginary part representing natural resources, while the real part is the human effort that is the only think currently measured by monetary unit. But bimetalism failed everywhere it has been adopted, I think that the imaginary part of a price would become dominant since natural resources are becoming the limit of economic output.
Or dropdowns
Yeah that was definitely a late change.
What's your point?

>and all iPhone models are made with a brand new Apple custom alloy, the same alloys used in the aerospace industry.

"Brand New" and "Same as used in X" - choose one. (I think this is just standard TechCrunch, not from Apple, but still rather irritating)
Optimization-related projects in Julia v2 [video]
I have and enjoy both the Roku 3 and the current (not the one announced today) AppleTV and aside from Apple stuff like Airplay video streaming and iTunes cloud integration, it doesn't really give you much over and above the Roku 3.

Of course, the apps and games on the new Apple TV change the game entirely... if any of that interests you.
I'm sure your mom will figure it out
Because I happen to care about things-in-themselves, and I can have a lot of fun and be very happy with things-in-themselves. Experience machines are the kind of thought experiment invented by people who can't conceive of real life being a nice place to live, and thus constantly want to escape into the un-real.
On my phone in the airport, so only skimmed article. Is Amazon an apple app? Not an Apple guy, but thought older apple tv didn't have Amazon.

Regardless, the new TV just bought has netflix etc. and controls stereo cia CEC. Stereo supports airplay, so I expect in future my bar to buying another box is very high. Asking Siri does sound convenient, but not sure worth it to have yet anoyher device to deal with. Wife is exceedingly happy to have one remote that "just works" compared to the mishmash of deviced I had prior to buying new stereo and "smart"
tv that support CEC.
> My mom has no idea what force touch is. She'd not going to get 3d touch.

She'll get it if she uses it. It's not any more difficult than using the current touch gestures.
Hey, need to leave something for next year's version ;)
> Furthermore the architecture of LLVM decouples it from particular processor architectures in ways that previous compiler architectures didn't, greatly easing the migration process at a technical level.

How is LLVM IR (which I am told is arch specific) different from GCC with RTL?
The new iPad has a stylus and Steve Jobs would have HATED it
Is that necessarily a problem? Things still work as they always have in iOS, and now users have more interaction options without compromising the old simplicity.
I'm curious if you think ISPs should block ISIS websites, domains, and IP addresses.
The last time Microsoft made an ARM version of interactive/desktop Windows (Windows RT for the Surface/Surface 2), it didn't support legacy Win32 apps (native or x86 emulated). It was a huge flop; Win32 apps are still the overriding reason why anyone runs Windows.

And now that Intel has gotten its act together with low-power SoCs, I don't see desktop Windows coming back to ARM any time soon.

(yes, there is Windows 10 for ARM but only for IoT platforms, it doesn't support graphical apps)
It's date-marked 2012.
I wish this thing existed when I was studying math in school. It's not practical to do math with a keyboard.
Absolutely! But many of Harvard's peer institutions have sticker prices just as high without the same level of financial aid. I'd say a fairer metric to use for comparison is what fraction of people have sufficiently large financial aid packages that they pay less than $X where X is some reasonable value (maybe the median cost of in-state tuition at flagship state schools?).

Another thing to watch out for is schools that say "the MSRP is $50k but we gave you $30k in aid so it's really $20k" when that $30k is loans, not grants. Harvard doesn't use loans (and very few students take them out), but as you go down a few tiers in financial aid that changes rapidly.
I don't know if their brand image can be defined that easily. They sell their stuff at Wal-Mart, after all.
I'd guess the option to use the device without a keyboard if you wanted to.
well, yes, not counting new iPad, new Apple TV with tvOS, not counting 3D Touch, there is nothing new.
I just wonder, do people making these complaint even imagine, what new could there be?
Aside from the simplified sphere of influence that objects have (gravity up to radius, then nothing). But I agree, KSP teaches you a lot about motion.

The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Picked this up after recently finishing The Selfish Gene, as I remembered what a thrilling read Crime and Punishment was.

Dostoyevsky is funny, thought-provoking and anxiety-inducing as ever.
Unlike some other authors, he rarely makes characters whose viewpoints he disagrees with into cheap caricatures with bad arguments.
He is intellectually honest and provides unprecedented (at least for its time) psychological insight into his complex characters.

I have always been sad to finish Dostoyevsky's books, but as the Penguin Classics version is around 1000 pages long, it will hopefully take a bit longer this time around.
Are TV boxes really a growth market though? This looks kind of interesting, but most new TVs already have Netflix, Amazon, iPlayer etc. At $149/199 it's not exactly in Chromecast territory, either.
Side note along with this thought, I feel like Apple is going through some kind of naming transition in its lineup:

Mac<thing>: e.g. Macbook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro

i<thing>: iPod, iPhone, iPad, iSight

Apple <thing>: Apple watch, Apple pencil

I think the Apple one is the worst, because <thing> seems to be common non-trademarked words and has a weird marketing exec "let's get the branding out there!" strategy.

And now it kind of smells like they might be thinking about going to a "Smart <thing>" naming scheme.

It makes calling things kind of hard and schizophrenic, most people just default to i<thing> when they don't know what to call it. I hear iWatch at least once a week.
Is your time worth more that the cost of an upgrade? I'm not happy with the price but I upgraded to avoid wasting hours doing that juggling.
Really anything beyond the standard posix one process many threads model. One process and no threads is how erlang does it as far as I can tell.

Edit: No that's not exactly true http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7005759/erlang-on-multico... But they do spawn a processes for each core.
This doesn't seem unreasonable. As a data point, we're just shy of 10k customers with one full-time support person (and two part-time). In my experience, it was the process of setting up the KB and process by which you'd answer tickets that was the most arduous. 0-10 users, easy. 10->100 OMFG EVERYTHING'S ON FIRE. 100->n becomes just an optimization problem.
Computer makers, notably Apple although others are guilty of this too, have always shipped low end hardware to get you in the door. Like a car manufacturer offering low end engine for some models.

But in this case, how much is your time worth? If you're like most people hanging out on hacker news (assuming a tech career) its not unreasonable to expect your salary to be $100/hour.

If you're spending more than 2 hours mucking with moving things around, then perhaps your next phone purchase should consider how much time you're spending vs. the price of increased storage.
It's different from a traditional Option type, though, in that Option<Option<T>> is inexpressible, and that the distinction between map and flat_map is reduced.
That's what she said?
She'll get it if she uses it.

If she means to use it. Not difficult to imagine people triggering this by accident.
yeah, my bad. thought you were the guy above me. Apologies.

As for the career I chose, you can assume it wasn't anything to do with computers, lol. (Although I almost went the Cognitive Science/Computer Science route back in my younger days, before realizing I wasn't nerdy enough!)
With the app ecosystem stagnating (really - are you doing more things on your phone than in 2010) and the only new things that crop are differently flavored messenger apps - we are at the moment that we have to answer - what more can we do with the phones, not how to do it.
One what? It's unclear what you are trying to convey with this post.
I'm guessing the more layered tap vs press vs press-harder interaction is why they decided to rebrand it or give it the different name
No, that's how they said it in the keynote.. I think they meant brand new as in "not the same as on previous phones".
Well, you'd know if your siblings died, but you're right, there's some survivorship bias in the "and I" portion.

The main issues, though, are very small sample sizes and the difficulty of knowing if people really were "just fine" compared to what they would have been otherwise.
So does this apply to any GCE customer hosting in US? If I've got machines in us-central and I'm using CF, then I don't have to do anything? My bandwidth charge from GCE should go to about 0?
Well, if I'm reading the chart correctly, it's about 15 emails/day. Maybe not raise-worthy?
The Rust community makes a car:

"Check out our awesome new car! It makes driving 'easy and safe'!"

"Does it prevent crashes?"

"No, that's impossible! But here, look at our onboard computer that prevents many types of driving errors."

I like Rust. I want it to succeed. But I think the rhetoric gets ahead of the language sometimes, and not prioritizing higher level concurrency tools because you have the borrow checker is a mistake.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro is basically the Android version of the new Apple device. I own one, albeit not for enterprise purposes, and it's not very well executed. I could never imagine using such a stripped down interface as my primary work device. People use Surfaces here all the time for whatever that's worth, it's a valid device choice option.
Is http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEv... this what you mean?
How do you run code on multiple cores? (What's your kernel in this case, if it's non-POSIX?)
Persons of deep faith have been, are, and can be great scientists.

See, for example, Scientific Geniuses and Their Jesuit Collaborators[1]. Not to mention that the author's field (physical cosmology) was deeply influenced by a Catholic priest-scientist[2]. There are numerous other examples spanning the last few centuries, including our own.

Faith and reason ought to go together and are entirely compatible with one another – at least that's the Catholic view, not new but recently articulated by Pope St. John Paul II.[3]

My mom also has no idea what right-click is. I showed it to her once and it blew her mind. Then she promptly forgot about it.

I figure as long as you don't hide essential functionality in your app's 3d-touch interface, and primarily use it for short cuts, you are probably okay...
Ask HN: Google Image Charts alternative
Google Image Charts are deprecating anytime. I was searching for an alternative and could not find any that is comparable to Google's offering.

These static image charts helps in following use-cases:

* Embedding charts inside email. (no need to retain these on S3, etc)
* Quick and lightweight sparklines using img tags.
* Embedding charts inside PDF, etc is easier.

I started building an alternative to Google's offering which is compatible with Image Charts. Will you be interested in using this?
Let me introduce you to PlexConnect, if you'd like to use your current Apple TV as a Plex client:

By 'low-end laptop' I assume the OP is referring to the Macbook Air segment, not anything running Windows or Chrome OS.
The turtle ship is another interesting tactical weapon that comes from these era but in other parts of the world. It would ram deep inside enemy formations and fire cannons on all sides which resulted in some astounding victories given Chosun Navy had only a dozen ships vs. thousands of japanese ships. You couldn't land on the ship because it had spikes and would spew smoke for evasion.
> For a device at that size, weight, and cost you would be better served buying an Macbook Air

For a device at that size, weight, and cost you would be better served buying a Macbook Air.

Apple has dozens of devices for dozens of use cases and types of buyers. I would never use the new MacBook (not good enough specs), and most of HN thinks it's a terrible idea. But my wife loves it. She doesn't need to run a virtual machine or plug in i/o devices or use 16GB of RAM, and it helps her do what she does better than ever.

If you look at Apple keynotes through the lens of, "Will this product change my life?" you'll likely be frequently disappointed - they're building products for a wide spectrum of users. But every now and then, they'll likely absolutely nail what you need.

If you buy a Macbook Pro when you need a laptop, it doesn't matter if the Macbook Air isn't for you. Apple still wins.
It's important to mention here that Rust's approach to multithreading changes the rules of the game. Multithreading has rightfully earned its popular ire over the past few decades, but once you have a typesystem that prevents data races it's almost like there's an entirely new paradigm at your fingertips. So if Rust folk seem insistent on mentioning the use of threads, it's not because they want to push some agenda, it's because they want to overcome the suddenly-obsolete stigma against multithreading.

Note as well that Rust intends to have world-class support for a wide variety of approaches to concurrency and parallelism. Threading and channels are already in the stdlib, and fork/join and SIMD are in the works now. The goal is to enable the programmer to be able to choose the best tool for the job.
Yeah, I understand the naming conventions (S = same case, different internals, C = cheap case, Plus = large) but my point is: why? Apple is supposed to think these design choices through and give the user whatever is best. That's what they've done in the past, and that's why they have such a strong brand.
An auspicious name, the "iPhone Success"
That other device is called an iPad :-). Easier to use in the car too.
Twitter Bias: When Men Talk Tech and Women Talk Diversity
Honestly, smart TVs creep me out. The ones I've used have had impossibly annoying menus and inexplicably slow connections. My parents' smart TV buffers low-res Netflix shows to the point that it's sometimes unusuable. I brought my Chromecast over once and it worked perfectly.

Not to mention hooking my television up to the internet means I'll be getting ads from the software (Hulu, broadcast commercials) AND the hardware. No thanks.
They're copying the facebook-esque thing of grabbing the base word and making that the brand. IE facebook messenger is "messenger", compared to google messenger which is "gchat". Calendar vs "gcal", and so on.

Facebook effectively owns the word "like" at this point, has "internet.com", and so on.

Apple wants people to be calling the "Apple Watch" just "the Watch".
It's a reference to this : Turtles all the way down

Why lots of white guys wore purple shirts at the Apple Event
doesn't really bring anything new to the table. It
might be best of breed in terms of polish and features

I'd say their mission is more to be best of breed in polish, and generally just keep pace in features. Which I am actually pretty okay with - given the fact that 90% of the crap in our industry feels like it was cranked out by a sleep-deprived maniac deep into their third consecutive month of crunch time.
In a dream world Apple would license all OS's.

Then you'd have a Surface Pro hardware running iOS and OSX in a VM to access mobile and Mac Apps, and Windows 10 to run anything else.
Yeah, they do. The problem is that very few people actually want to load their TV up with apps - they just want Netflix.

"Apps...on your TV!" has been a promise on multiple platforms for a few years now and it seems like nobody really cares past the first couple of weeks they have the device.
Higher resolution photos and video and somehow Apple is still going to have the 16 GB base model.
The more general point is that the price difference between those models has next to nothing to do with the actual cost of storage, though. I bought a 16GB Android phone then bought a 64GB micro SD card for $30. That's a lot less than the $100 price bump on the iPhone.

But I digress. The 6S was clearly never getting an SD card slot.
> <thing> seems to be common non-trademarked words

Hasn't stopped Microsoft being successful with this strategy, e.g. Office, Word, Windows, etc.
good points, thank you for the clarification
Depending on stylus input quality (both hardware and software, as well as screen), this might destroy Wacom's bottom line. Destroy? Annihilate.
Roku also does universal search.
They rotate support duty, every engineer and even the founders do it for a week each.
I don't think this is a good definition. The US military to my knowledge hasn't used a tactical nuke in live battle conditions ever, and has used 2 "strategic" class nukes in live battle conditions.

In my opinion, all nukes today are strategic nukes in that they intend to make your enemy think twice before launching their own nukes.

Even tactical sized nukes, if used today, will ignite a severe counter-reaction that is highly likely to escalate to full blown intercontinental nuclear war.
and a Keyboard! Good thing he is dead, or on seeing this he would die.
I agree, so much useless stuff here. Long gone are the days when Apple produced powerful and exciting new Macs. Now they are catching up and behind... I think my next computer will be a PC again.
Now Shipping Soylent 2.0
Pretty much everything still exists in AMD64. You can still set up a 16-bit process while running under long mode.
They're not doing themselves any favors by NOT having this functionality.

I suspect they are - their catalogue is strong enough (and paid for) that people will seek out the app when they realise it is not included in the recommended watching list.
Per the USPTO trademark database (on mobile so can't readily link), FiftyThree has a trademark on "Pencil by FiftyThree", not on "Pencil". Moreover the trademark they do have specifically disclaims exclusive rights to the word "pencil" by itself. (IANAL but typically USPTO will ask for these sorts of disclaimers if part of the trademark is deemed generic/descriptive.)

Similarly Apple's product is officially named "Apple Pencil".

So Apple is probably in the clear.
Reality Check: Comparing HoloLens and Magic Leap
"Bernard Cumbersnatch"? I take it that you are referring to celebrated British actor, Humperdinck Rumblebum? Or was it perhaps, Twiddleplink Cucumberpatch? I can never get these British names quite right.
Wrong. https://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/javascriptcore-example/ JavaScriptCore is what Apple uses for built in JS evaluation, and V8 can't be implemented due to lack of execution of code from user-writable memory. JSC most definitely does not have the "most advanced available JIT."
While the Pro 3 was slightly more expensive, if you include the keyboard cover and pen, I'd argue this is much more expensive (included pen & $120 for the cover/keyboard, Vs. $99 + $170).

And the Pro 3's pen/drawing experience has received pretty good reviews after some early software jitters.

The nexus player has plex, voice integration, games, etc and is half the price. I highly, highly, highly! recommend it.

"Live Photos" They must really want more people to start paying for iCloud Drive every month. That sounds like a big data hog compared to a single photo every time I hit the shutter button.
Yep, I'm in the same boat. Apple devices and laptops, but we've moved on from iTunes to Amazon. Spent thousands in iTunes, still have a small home server running it for us to access it, but every new movie, tv show, or song is now purchased on Amazon. They're available everywhere on basically every device.

We've got Rokus on the small TVs and Xbox Ones on the big ones.
