Another interesting trait of humans is that once they've subscribed to an opinion, they'll tie themselves in knots looking for ways to avoid changing their mind despite all contradictory evidence.

Is it possible that you really don't care about one of the core biological experiences that define human civilizations throughout history? The act that differentiates our cultures, has driven migration, evolution, wars and exploration? The act that is so ingrained in our biology that meal preparation is central to every human settlement?

Yeah, that's possible. It's also possible that you're a blowhard. But hey man, knock yourself out. I was just saying that it's pretty damned easy to make a smoothie.
I ran a groupware platform that had over 1,000 daily users on it myself with about 30 new organizations signing up to use it every day.

The key thing was to create help videos and help hover icons everywhere possible. Eventually it was self-supporting no one ever had questions because the answers were all right there.
But as long as it lasts, they can make statements like that while ignoring any other trends that explain the popularity and make their marketing pitch sound more impressive.
Canon has something similar too, though I think the video part on theirs is only 720p.
>My understanding wasn't that the men were stunned by the impressive explosion, but rather that Ledlie had so badly botched the whole thing that they literally had no idea what to expect or where to go or what to do.

Both, really. They didn't know what they were meant to be doing and the massive explosion did not exactly promote their higher faculties in figuring it out.
Beliefs and facts are orthogonal. Beliefs can be factual or counterfactual. Facts can be believed or disbelieved.
I wonder if Apple's marketing team has a template for these releases.

"We've reimagined _____ - an innovative ______ that redefines ____."
It's limited by global macroeconomics, which is still raising its ceilings.
Couldn't agree more. "Pro" is OS X, not iOS.
Wait, nobody has gone "Chuck Norris's Norris Number is 2.2 million!"? (I clicked on the title just because of Norris, I was thinking it was another Chuck reference.)

I can see the steps. I have and can crank out 2,000 lines of code. We see this all the time in hack-a-thons.

20K lines means a team and tools and some level of software control. Maybe a nod to architecture.

200K lines is a good sized project with a starting level of architecture first (maybe proceeded by throwaway prototypes) and then some serious software development methodology.

While the author writing 200K lines of code is cool, in today's business environment, that's not really going to happen. The cycle of prototype, code, build, test, (x2) then pivot and then repeat everything isn't a single programmer.

I've done 3GL / 4GL for a long time (Burroughs LINC!!) that promised that. And while it did turn 50 lines of LINC into 1000 lines of COBOL, there was a lot of though in those 50 lines. So I look at the current "10 lines of code in XYZ" I think "and I need 100,000 lines of libraries too".

Large code bases are not for the faint of heart of for cowperson coders. You may be able to write 200K of code, but it it can't be checked in and not break my build I can't use you.
Yes, DNS history is one way to leak your IP. There are several other ways that the origin IP may get leaked, so you should be very careful if you use Cloudflare:

* Keep all subdomains on CloudFlare

* Don't use wildcard subdomains if you are not on Pro account

* Don't host mail or other services on the same server as your web server (email headers have origin IP)

* Never initiate an outbound connection based on user action

* Make sure that your web server and web application are patched against all known information disclosure vulnerabilities.

* Change your origin IP once configured for maximum DDoS protection on CloudFlare

Cloudflare documents it here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/ddos-prevention-protecting-the-o...
Yeah, there's also a fairly healthy middle ground between engineering "marvels" and "what is the utterly cheapest piece of crap I can find on eBay".

(btw, there are a lot of complaints, including from me, about plenty of flaws with Apple chargers - I've had two sheathes come apart so they look like paper lanterns exposing bare wire beneath them)
Capitalism depends on price theory, which predicts that making too many paperclips will cause them to be in glut and the price will drop. So a paperclip-maximizing AI might oughta be built to take that into account.

If it's an ATV2 you'll probably get more than you paid for it because it's jailbreak-able.

I never bought the first gen ATV but when the new ones dropped for $99, I snapped one up as an impulse buy and then got another when the 1080p version came out, for the other TV.

I'm impressed with my FireTV stick (1080p streaming over wifi to the tune of 10Mbps for 2.5h straight!!, but I use the AppleTV more.

At $150, I'll probably buy the new one to see what it's all about. These streaming devices are pretty cool and pretty cheap. (I've also got a WDTV and my receiver does spotify+airplay audio; I haven't yet bought a Roku though).
> That's a valid philosophy, but also one that leads to problems with fragmentation, quality, portability, dependency management, and compiler support.

No, not necessarily. We would like for the standard library to remain minimal, but one of its important functions is to collect common interfaces to maximize interoperability between crates. This has worked well in practice so far.

Similarly, the standard library provides portable facades on top of platform specific APIs, for example, for performing IO. Crates can take advantage of this so that they can be portable themselves. Moreover, crates themselves can also provide portable facades over platform specific APIs, so I'm not convinced that this will be a problem in practice.

Dependency management is handled quite well by Cargo. It has been a wonderful tool to have at our disposal and is really the crux of what makes a small standard library possible.

Compiler support is a good argument, but one that I hope becomes weaker in time as we stabilize more functionality.

To be clear, I agree that a small standard library has its own downsides. In particular, quality is IMO on of the best arguments against a small standard library. Fortunately, we trying to mitigate this by adopting officially blessed libraries into the `rust-lang` organization: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1242-rust... --- This allows us to avoid the problems with a big standard library (too much stuff that is hard to evolve because of stability) while still providing quality with crates that we promise to maintain.
He or she didn't claim they were 'appropriately priced' and since such a claim is subjective to begin with nobody is forcing you to pay for things you feel are too expensive. Buy whatever you want. His or her argument seems to be, and I would agree, that the quality is higher with an Apple charger. If you don't feel the price corresponds, that's totally fine with everyone involved.

It's a little roundabout, but I use AirVideo HD [1] with a separate iOS device to get around this. My media server recompresses content to MP4 in realtime, which then bounces to the AppleTV via AirPlay, which all works seamlessly for being so janky. Assuming Apple isn't too tight-fisted with TV app approval (which remains to be seen), I imagine the AirVideo folks will pull off a better version of the same thing using a native app.

I'm in financial services...as part of our checkout process, the customer downloads a 1 MB pdf with sensitive and unique data to them. In testing ( a test site with cloudflare set up), everything was fine. In production, apparently cloudflare cached these pdfs after some sort of traffic threshold was reached (I guess they are all very similar in size...though they are probably not exactly the same size.) Now customers are calling that they are getting other people's data! Apparently cloudflare caches files without even comparing hashes of the download first. Needless to say, we entirely shut off any and all caching after that.

In addition, the parent comment has omitted groundwater. Good current estimates for groundwater volume (in the OP, http://water.usgs.gov/edu/earthhowmuch.html) are very close to icecap volume (24e6 km^3).

And we are pumping this groundwater (~700 km3/yr as of 2000, and increasing [ * ]), which raises water levels and at the same time lowers land elevation as ground subsides. Depending on the Hollywood disaster scenario, that could play a role.

Atmospheric water, on the other hand, is a rounding error in this context.

For some definition of "control." Admiral Yi fought twenty-something battles (seems like the exact number is hard to say because it's difficult to define what constitutes a "battle"), and never lost a single one.

(That's not to say the Korean navy didn't suffer devastating losses... but that was when Yi was in prison thanks to the idiot king who bought the disinformation supplied by Japanese spies.)

Anyway, that raises a philosophical question: if your troops and their supplies need to be delivered across the water, and if your enemy is controlling that water, how much are you controlling the land behind?

>The DoJ contends that emails should be treated as the business records of the company hosting them

what? are my DropBox files "business records?" or that youtube video I uploaded? or my Google Contacts?

Perhaps I was foolish enough to define "business records" as "documents that record the actions of/facts about a business?"

It is almost certainly against the spirit of the law's definition of "business records" -- ledgers, internal emails, receipts, etc.
Oddly enough, screen sizes are one of the things that are measures in imperial units all over the world. Another example would be engines, where horsepower is incredibly popular.

> Here is 90% of what Go gives you as a C library. No heavyweight runtime necessary

Rust has channels in its standard library. Admittedly, they do not have the same functionality as Go's concurrency primitives. The two most significant omissions are probably a multi-producer/multi-consumer channel and a more complete (and stable) `select` construct.

There is also my `chan` library, which replicates Go functionality with respect to channels: http://burntsushi.net/rustdoc/chan/ --- Notably, you still have to use native threads.

Your `libmill` example is a coroutine library with a scheduler and everything. That is definitely too much runtime for standard Rust. However, there are people working on coroutines in Rust, on which something like `libmill` could be built: https://crates.io/search?q=coroutine

Does it really make more sense to create _another_ OS, rather than extending OS X or iOS? It seems like they're doing that anyway seeing as games etc will work "across all devices"...
iOS 7 (2013) introduced the GameController framework, an SDK to allow game developers to detect physical button presses / D-pad, etc...

This was designed to work in conjunction with hardware makers who made game controller shells that housed iPhone / iPod Touch, but with some extra physical buttons.

I always viewed this as laying the groundwork for an Apple TV App Store, but it seemed to instantly lose traction and haven't heard anything about since the couple of months following WWDC 2013.

I assume that API will gain some more steam now.

Correct. A safe observer far from the black hole will observe a singularity at the event horizon, but that is a coordinate singularity, not a true one. There is singularity at the event horizon for a falling observer. A falling observer will pass through the event horizon and reach the center, which is a true singularity that physics currently cannot explain.
This is already possible (if awkward) using iTunes Home Sharing and a dedicated media server. I wouldn't call it good, but it's good enough. It remains to be seen if it made the cut for the ATV4 (or whatever we're calling it). Though there's a still a legit use case for home movies and such, I'm not particularly optimistic. :(
Groundwater is the resource we are depleting, because everything else runs in a circle. Here is a good worldwide groundwater study, based partly on gravity inversions from the GRACE twin satellites: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4626

The conclusion is: Probably the most at-risk aquifer (based on people affected and severity) is in the Gangetic plain in northern India. There are also critically threatened aquifers in the Arabian peninsula, southeast China, and our own Sacramento Valley.

This conclusion is supported by other hydrological modeling groups as well (e.g., the very highly-cited, but older, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2010GL044571/full)
They might try not timing these PR pieces with major Apple announcements. A week after could provide the necessary plausible deniability.
Actually I don't think the iPad Pro (or any iOS device) is geared towards programmers.
x86 is a variable-length encoding, which is a good thing for cache use, but it doesn't help these days because the most common instructions are not the shortest, and the shortest ones are things like BCD and BOUND that nobody uses.

x86-32 doesn't have nearly enough register names, causing totally unnecessary memory spills, which the hardware was never good enough to hide, and having to pass arguments on the stack. That's why x86-64 is faster than -32, even though 64bit wastes so much cache space.

And some instructions are just randomly slow because of handling the weird encoding, like 16-bit math is slower than either 8-bit or 32-bit math.

Then there's eflags, but that's a minor complaint.
I think from a consumer marketing perspective they want really want a box with an Apple logo sitting in every living room in the country. I think that, and maybe because of the SSD and other hardware.
It was about a foot square (or more), at least 3 inches thick, had a large handle to grip, a wired stylus, and a painfully low-res B/W LCD display. I got to handle it a few times, but saw no compelling use (the concept was great, but technology was far from there). IIRC, 3 came with a Wang minicomputer at the time, late 1980's or early 1990's.

I've tried to find a picture of it several times since, but nothing yet.
disclaimer: no crypto expert.

There's a concept of authenticated encryption, so your connection isn't just confident, you're also making sure nobody tampered with the content. There are multiple ways to assure that.

There is a RFC for EtM in TLS: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7366

This document describes a means of negotiating the use of the
encrypt-then-MAC security mechanism in place of the existing MAC-
then-encrypt mechanism in Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram
Transport Layer Security (DTLS). The MAC-then-encrypt mechanism has
been the subject of a number of security vulnerabilities over a
period of many years.

That also describes MtE. GCM in itself is already authenticated so it skirts the migration issue.
They still sell the iPod nano, I would view the old apple tv like that.

More than 200,000 lines of kernel code support some little program, but I pretend they don't exist. For that reason, I think having a good abstraction or architecture is the key to breaking the 200K barrier.
Considering the amount of processing power put into this thing, how should it fit into a stick?

I also got the impression they want it to be standalone device. IMO a good idea, if I'd tell my parents to use their phones' to watch TV I'd get some very weird looks.
Everything has a gravitational field, but gravity is extremely weak, so you never notice it.

Just imagine how a tiny fridge magnet can overcome the gravitational pull of the entire Earth. Scale down the Earth to the size of ordinary objects and you can get an idea of how weak gravity is.

I don't think it's accurate to say Surface Pro presaged the iPad Pro by three years. Surface Pro was a basically different vision (not to mention a severely compromised device). A laptop without a keyboard but with a fan and short battery life. A software stack that requires you to go into the desktop to access non-trivial settings.

The iPad Pro is a big iPad. No x86, no fan, touch-based software stack, etc. It's not a computer, it doesn't have USB ports, it can't run desktop software. You can't plug it into a dock hook use it as a desktop machine.[1] On purpose. It's a very different point in the design space.

[1] Some people may consider the iPad Pro to be a Surface 3 with less features. And maybe it is depending on what you want from it. My take is that I've got a quad-core laptop with 16GB of RAM as my workhorse. I don't want a compromise device that's part tablet and part ULV laptop. I want a companion device with a big screen that I can mark up PDFs on. I want a bigger iPad, not a laptop with a detachable keyboard.
Plenty of point of sale apps. Really common in smaller retail stores. Also waiters in restaurants using iPad minis
Not really apple's way it seems. But I'm not sure that the ipad is doing poorly... despite all its many restrictions, it's extremely popular with schools and companies. I still remember when iphones weren't allowed on corp networks but people kept on using them anyways till IT had to support it. Things have come a long way in 5 years
Stuff like the borrow-checker in the general case is also not computable, only for a small subset of programs, e.g. Rust programs.
It is possible. I actually ended up doing it, partially because I was sick of PHP already and partially because I was the only programmer on the project anyway. array_map and family, however, don't make PHP a scary Lisp. Try writing something along the lines of destructuring-bind "macro", on arrays; I'm still both happy about how it worked and happy that noone else will ever see it; non-lispers would probably gouge their eyes out.

"Simple price gouging" is also a sweeping generalization.

You pay for quality. Generally equivalent functionality can be had cheaper, and returns diminish as price rises, but as there are prolific options available "price gouging" hardly applies.

Interesting episode.
I think it's a fine way to introduce the notion that mass bends spacetime, and "gravity" is the phenomenon of traveling that curved spacetime. We can show the warping of a two-dimensional plan by projecting it into the third-dimension, giving an intuition by analogy. I don't know how to actually show warped three-dimensional space, since we can't project into into a fourth-dimension.
I know you're being sarcastic, but yes, some people do edit their files. They see that folder that says System32 and start re-organizing the files within, and then feel like computers are scary and difficult when things break.
I expect this is due to a Moiré pattern between your monitor's pixel grid and the "dots" in the image.

And if "do whatever you feel like, but someone will write down that you did" is too much, one can readily install a GNU/Linux distro on a Surface. You very likely won't be able to do the same on any iOS device, even the iPad "Pro".
Does anyone know that if we mirrored a game from our iPhone 6s would it graphically look better than if we played it natively on the Apple TV? Seeing as the graphical horsepower in the phone is better than what the Apple TV offers.
I'm familiar with the distinction in the abstract, but didn't really understand how it applied to nuclear weapons. I guess I had a sort of "all or nothing" mentality where if a nuclear weapon gets used, there is necessarily some strategic aspect to its deployment because its impact would be so devastating. But that is not necessarily the case.
