If memory serves GMs are normally a one and done thing. It may be buggy and inadvisable (wait for 10.x.1), but the GM normally ships more or less unchanged.
(Disclaimer: worked in this area, haven't in a few years, my facts are sketchy.)

Bazel is open-sourcing of the build system used to build the majority of code within Google. Chrome (in part because it targeted Windows) didn't use the standard build system and instead has had its own series of custom replacements. gn is the latest iteration on that. As other commenters have mentioned, Bazel expects your code to be organized in the way Google code is, while gn likely makes similar assumptions related to how Chrome is organized.

The same reason that Google didn't do that with Nexus Player, which is the nearest equivalent consumer product from Google to the Apple TV.

> Surely price point will be a big issue with adoption.

Possibly -- I think there is a reason why Google did Chromecast first. But Apple has been pretty successful in the past aiming at the high end of the market and not worrying about price point effects on adoption, trusting on marketing and prestige.
I believe in the past, it was not the case. I remember once I downloaded the GM and a day later there was a new one. I went to software update and there were no pending changes. I had to wipe/start over.

Yes it does and you're splitting hairs. Passbook was Apple's mobile payment response to NFC, and why they didn't adopt NFC in iPhones. They were trying to build an app ecosystem using credits for their mobile payments, and it didn't work so years later we see them catch up with Pay.

The entire context of this discussion was how Apple killed NFC adoption in 2012 by not supporting NFC and splitting the market with their own walled-garden solution. Even your quote shows the surprise on Gizmodo's part that they released some gift card substitute...

> In contrast, 'ML' assumes from the start that computing resources will be available.

Right, but I'm not sure that "better, cleaner names for things" actually follows. Instead, I find that the ML folks just hacked their way to similar results as traditional statistics, but in many cases were comfortable with the algorithms as "black boxes" rather than having a clear understanding of why the algorithms worked. In that sense, the author's "unprincipled" criticism is valid. This is less true today, but the new research in convolutional neural nets shows how ML starts from hacking things until they produce practical results then backing into the theory of why. This habit has resulted in much duplication of effort and naming schemes. My ML prof at Georgia Tech (Isbell was awesome! http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~isbell/) constantly trashed "genetic algorithms" for being a silly form of randomized hill-climbing.

The beneficial side of these less-principled techniques is that they happen to work on larger scale datasets. It turns out approximate results are more scalable than exact results.

With utmost respect, I respond to each point you mention below.

The JS of 2009 was an entirely different language
from the JS Netscape originally created. Plus
Netscape's web server was an evolutionary dead end
and a proprietary closed-source product.

The reason I cited Netscape's server was to unequivocally show that NodeJS did not introduce JavaScript to "a new environment" as the GP stated. Why previous efforts failed to gain traction or if it is even a good idea to use JavaScript to define server-side logic is left as an exercise to the reader.

Node was in part influenced by CommonJS, which
tried to unify the various competing but
relatively obscure (mostly non-browser) JS
environments. To say that it learned nothing
from the history of SSJS (or JS environments
in general) is, frankly, wrong.

It would seem we have differing perspectives of history. CommonJS was started in 2009[1], the same year as NodeJS[2]. The lessons of history I implied regarded attempts to use JavaScript as a server-side solution over the past 20-ish years. While you make the distinction:

Node lets you write application servers,
Netscape's SSJS effectively was more like
Rhino-meets-JSP or maybe GWT (i.e. the heavy
lifting was apparently implemented in Java,
not JS).

I suggest that this is irrelevant, as the details of how the JavaScript logic is executed is orthogonal from the fact that systems such as these use JavaScript to define behaviour itself. The fact remains that there have been more than one previous project/offering/effort which had JavaScript as a key component. IMHO, it behooves interested parties to do whatever postmortem examinations possible before committing to the same or significantly similar path.

"Are we getting too locked in a formula" -- hard to tell what prompted this sentiment, over "we are geniuses for inventing this". I imagine middle management was the biggest hindrance to making something cross-cutting like this happen at a company like Apple. Perhaps it's becoming too crystallized.

HEY! Just came back here to say you are right. Installed the developer beta of OS X 10.11 today (which includes Safari 9) and tried to open some of the output files from the old project mentioned above.

They all work in OS X Safari now.

None of them really stress-test flexbox or do anything advanced; they are just grids that are supposed to resize well. But, the bugs we hit doing this basic stuff in OS X 10.10 / Safari 8 seem to be fixed.
GM (Golden Master) = RTM (Release To Manufacturing) = the point where it becomes a bit of a hassle to do a recall because you've started putting copies of your OS in boxes somehow (whether pressed on a disc, or flashed to new machines' SSDs, or whatever.)

If Apple does a second GM on a product, they're likely "rewinding" their pipeline, reopening sealed boxes to re-image computers. Not something they will do if they can at all help it!

More an effect than a cause.

Nowadays, as long as the OS works well-enough out of the box to suck down the newest point release, all is well from the end-user's perspective. Except maybe there's some weird out-of-box bugs until they've let their computer sit around for a few hours and restarted it once.

I think the computers can only "express" (input or output) in terms of a 2D image, whereas it seems to me that human dreaming is in terms of abstract thoughts. We're not really dreaming in 3D, but dreaming in perception. If we could train a computer on 3D scenes in the same manner, it would be able to express its dreams in 3D, but we don't have the data to feed it.
It's hard to take any action based on that fact without further information. Even a gambler couldn't use that tidbit without conditioning on things like the current score. Or am I missing something?

> People who depend on tech are usually about the shiny more than normal consumers, who just want to get what they need done. The rabid irrational Apple fanboy isn't grandma, no, it is the young kid working in tech.

This may perhaps reflect the different professional subcultures we're around, but IME "people who depend on tech" are _less_ prone to this (not necessarily the rabid fanboying but the equivalent effect). I think you're underestimating the effect that an unwillingness to do (relatively) in-depth research has on the purchasing decisions of "normal consumers". I.e., "wanting what they need to get done" is a wonderful wish, but it's somewhat meaningless when decoupled from knowing the differences/capabilities of each device. I don't think it's controversial to say that normal consumers put much much more faith in the wisdom of the crowds, and (if they can afford it), Apple products are the beginning and end of their search. The fact that "Android" or even "high-end Android" isn't a cohesive brand to the casual observer means that iPhones seem like a plurality of their cursory data set, even when it's not the majority (which, at least in the US, is pretty often).

Even in 2015, I have people asking me in slightly shocked tones why I don't use an iPhone, and their certainty is always based entirely on social proof (they generally have no knowledge about whatever is I happen to be using).

As hinted at by the first part of the sentence you're responding to, this thread is talking about the quality of iOS devices for professional work, not their popularity.

The snark here handily hides the lack of substance: once again, the reason there's no iPhone-killer (and I don't anticipate there being one for some time) is a different question from whether there's an alternative better-suited to professional work.

I know people use Chef for configuring Docker,

Banks are typically leveraged about 12 to 1 meaning that one dollar of the banks money is paired with 11 dollars of depositors money to fund a loan. Since the banks capital is scarce relative to depositors funds it is usually the limiting factor in how many loans can be made and the overall amount of money in the economy.

When banks make a bad loan and are forced to write of the loan each dollar of loss results in 11 less dollars of loans that can be made. When this happens to a lot of banks at the same time you get a general decrease in the money supply and general deflation (like the Great Depression).

A positive rate of inflation allows banks to resolve some bad loans simply by holding the loan until inflation increases the asset value above the loan amount rather than a write-off. Positive inflation, in other words, is a lubricant for the banking system to make it easier to resolve bad loans which makes issuing loans simpler.

With zero percent inflation banks would demand higher standards for underwriting such as stronger credit and larger down payments. that would generally mean loans would be directed mostly towards older, larger and more established industries and less to newer and smaller industries. Less loans for young people and more for older people.

As a side note what makes the Federal Reserve special is that it is allowed to make loans with infinite leverage on capital. That means instead of a 1 to 12 ration of a typical bank it could be 1 to 100 or 1 to 1000. To keep this special position any profits are foreited to the U.S. Government and implicitly any losses are also eaten by the U.S. Government as well. Which is why which assets the Feseral Reserve purchases is a sensitive topic.

Greenspun's Tenth Rule is a joke (there aren't even any other rules numbered 1-9). It's not meant to be taken literally.

The point is that low-level languages like C and Fortran (and today, Java) are underpowered, and any sufficiently large project will evolve to the point where someone builds a (often vaguely Lisp-like) scripting language on top of it to allow developers to raise the level of abstraction, maybe without even realizing that's what they're doing.

I have seen this in action, a lot of companies build internal, proprietary scripting languages on top of their low-level programs. They may start out as configuration files, a build system, preprocessor macros, or a DSL, but over time as features get added they accidentally become Turing-complete, and eventually someone writes an interpreter and now you've invented something that serves the same purpose as Lisp, only worse.

This makes the iPad ("finally") a legitimate successor to the Apple Newton MessagePad 2100 (from the 1990s), and incidentally the first iPad that I personally am excited about buying.

The stylus is not just some accessory. Real stylus support is a fundamental advance that revolutionizes the device. This is every bit as significant (for the iPad) as a keyboard-only computer finally supporting mouse input.

(To stretch that analogy a bit, the stylus products available for the iPad so far would be like wiring an Atari 2600 controller to the PC and being able to do rudimentary cursor movements with it.)

The stylus was a fundamental advance for humankind, too. The first stylus was invented about 30 seconds after the first caveperson discovered that flat surfaces are good for drawing on with your fingers. And humans have used them ever since.

Steve Jobs was right that "If you see a stylus [as a requirement for basic input and manipulation of the device], they blew it [if they meant their device to be a mainstream consumer product]."

There's a corollary, though: If a tablet meant to be directly manipulated doesn't support a stylus, it is going to be worse than a simple piece of paper and a pen for a wide variety of everyday tasks. (Meeting notes, class notes, sketches, etc.)

The iPad has sucked at all of those things, forever. (Despite the amazing (truly!) software enhancements that have made fingerpainting pretty expressive.)

I cannot think of a more fundamental advance Apple could have bestowed upon the iPad.

They are indeed playing catchup -- I have all the iPad generations at work and have never used them for much. I do use the Microsoft Surface Pro 3; it has a lot of shortcomings but is hugely, objectively superior to any iPad for taking notes (in just about any setting one would take free-form notes in). But it's heavy, fans, Windows, etc.

I am a refugee from the end of the Newton days. In college, I took all my notes on an MP2000 and it was amazing. It totally worked, for text and diagrams, on balance better than paper. And nothing since then has been both highly portable and as good at note taking. The iPad is better than the Newton at lots of things -- movies and media consumption come to mind (</troll>) -- but even almost two decades later, no iPad has never been even close to as good as the MP2100 is at taking notes.

So, $1050 for the new iPad Pro plus the stylus? Funny coincidence, that's exactly what I paid for my last Newton. Sign me the fuck up; I'll take a couple.

He's not talking about the current status of the law. The law has absolutely zero to do with right and wrong. He's talking about morality. He seems to believe that if you agree to help someone with their mental problems, that you shouldn't turn around and betray their trust for ANY reason -- that's the only way any real trust can be developed. I tend to agree.

If someone said "you can trust me, except for this laundry list of things you can say in which case I'll have you locked in a cage and force you to take medication against your will" would you trust them?
