That's a little different because your body produces lots of noises which are only perceivable in the absence of other background noises, eg when inside an anechoic chamber[1].

Sounds like you simply bought a machine not powerful enough for your needs. I'm using a 2015 MacBook Pro. It's been pretty hot here for the last week (30-33c) and my performance has been good. The MacBook sits flat on a table and hasn't got hot once. Battery lasts about 8 hours for me. I'm typing all day (iOS dev) and none of my keys are fading. I have two USB ports which are in use and all I need. If the machine you're talking about is the new super thin MacBook you just made a bad purchase decision as that machine almost costs as much as mine.
Even stranger, I'll occasionally get a call on my home phone which the Caller ID identifies as coming from my home phone with me as the caller -- to myself! At least it makes it easy for me to spot as a spoofed caller.

> But that truck can deliver hundreds of those boxes at a time. So it's one truck versus a huge swarm of drones.

Well, it'd be multiple drones sure but "a huge swarm" is a bit of a stretch. 100 boxes might be 10 trips for 10 drones. At up to 50mph and a 20 mile round trip, they could get through quite a few trips.

Just because there's the talk of "within 30 minutes" doesn't mean everything has to be done in 30 minutes.

> (Some of which may drop that 1kg box on someone's head.)

And some of the trucks will hit a kid in the road. Unless we're talking actual numbers and rates, any of these things are pretty useless for comparing the two methods.

> Difficult to imagine a case for this delivery method other than pure instant gratification.

Efficiencies, possibly? What's the energy cost of bringing a big truck with lots of parcels vs lots of smaller deliveries with lighter drones?

How many people will travel into a city to buy an item currently sooner than it could be delivered? Could we cut out those trips? They're massively inefficient if you're driving, picking something up and just heading back.

A physical item I want to send to someone fairly close by requires me to take it to someone to put into a system which moves it from building to building, through a distribution centre, then onto a truck to drive to their house. Or (though I don't actually have a car) I need to drive it there myself. Couldn't a drone just pick it up and take it there? Or a series of drone transfers?

>How is 'the same year as smalltalk' predating it?

That's just the first one that was implemented. The IDEAS reach far further back. ISWIM was '66, it it's not the oldest.

>My point is that functional languages do not predate OO languages, and if anything come later, and you never really addressed that.

Between my points on Lisp, ISWIM, Lambda Calculus, and others, I think I did that quite adequately.
I agree and one of the downsides is exactly this. I've felt this pain before :(

But there is no way around it - property keys are strings because they can be many layers deep (`foo.bar.test.abc`), and if any of those are undefined then the result is undefined. Also any of those properties (`foo`, `bar`, `test` or `abc`) could be themselves computed properties that depend on others. You also get features like `@each`, used for arrays like `foo.@each.bar`.

Perhaps a good middleground would be to do something like C#'s LINQ stuff, where the lambdas are analysed and the values extracted.
Probably depends on the state/country.
A good breakdown of the issues.

The self driving, especially Tesla, is being promoted as being along the lines of "do whatever you like, the car will cope". The public, rightly or wrongly, are forming the impression they can read a book, chat with passengers, do makeup, eat lunch and completely ignore what's happening outside.

What it actually is, of course, is cruise control plus. If it were promoted as such we'd be less likely to have folks making hands off videos trying to find the limits of the system.

When, as will undoubtedly happen, we get true self-driving we're going to have to accept new failure modes and deaths as a result. People will die as a result of AIs going out of known parameters. Perhaps innocent pedestrians, perhaps we'll find they're especially bad with children or cyclists. We may require legislation that in certain weather, road or other conditions self-driving must be disabled.

It took an awful lot of years, miles and deaths to get to the exceptionally safety conscious aviation we now have. If we're just passengers will we start to expect a similar level of safety with self-driving?

Sitting in the back of the magic car with iPad whilst it takes you from any door to any door is, sensibly, still a good way away.
Even if that happened it would be years before people upgraded. People using assistive technology tend to be more resistant to changing their setup than one would expect as it can be difficult to debug failed upgrades. It can also be extremely expensive, for example the leading Windows screenreader JAWS costs $900 per install.

And, like the article says, even leaving aside screenreader users this has a practical benefit for many users. If your prose is complex enough that you have to use a Latin abbreviation for precision you’re probably in need of a content designer to simplify it.

It's quicker to glance at icons and spot the app right away than not read each and every item in a list.
On GOV.UK we have high six figures of each of IE8 and IE9 per month, so we do support them already. It’s about user needs.
Apple should not be designing icons that are optimised for their initial visual impact. In fact, "impact" is not a word you really want to associate with something you use on a daily basis.

> It can't be through the same method that these codes unlock for you. Right?

That depends who you're warding against. Any attacker sufficiently motivated has access to everything you have access to, so in theory, nothing is safe. If you're warding against MITM for example, logging in with an OTP code is enough, you don't even need a password. If you're warding against malware, then the OTP seed should be on a different (airgapped) machine. In both those scenarios, assuming you don't have a webcam, a post-it note with your backup codes is sufficient.

But yes, ideally the codes should be on a different machine, or at the very least in a different safe (eg. two separate KDBs with a different passphrase). And to answer your other comment, yes, they'll usually be safer on paper under your mattress.

Just a note, when the number of volunteers is less than the number of authors, you're probably looking at self-experimentation.

It's not uncommon when you have a cool idea you want to test that doesn't rely on naive subjects and it would take longer to get permission to & recruit outside volunteers -- just grab a few people from around the lab and try it out.
I'm 100% in agreement with the article. I haven't upgraded from Mavericks for the very reasons he outlined - stark white UIs with no feedback. (Well that and the WIFI issues in Yosemite.)

As for skeuomorphism, look no further than the phone icon in iOS - it's a handset from a traditional 80s phone. If Apple designers were to take their flat minimalist mantra to the next level the icon would be a picture of a black rectangle representing an iPhone.

The entire point of money laundering is to convert ill-gotten money into seemingly legitimate assets. It's not like they offered Espinoza dirty cash that he would buy for cents on the dollar with clean cash. He didn't channel their cash through legitimate business channels to obfuscate its history. He engaged in nothing resembling money laundering. This was a man who sold a commodity. Replace Bitcoin with literally anything else. If Espinoza sold them $30,000 of frozen orange juice concentrate, who cares if they're going to trade that for stolen Russian credit cards? In no way is he facilitating money laundering in either scenario.

The relationship between depression and suicide with age is just correlation not causation, so it's silly to draw a line there and assume they are connected -- especially since we know depressed people have a higher suicide rate than people without depression.

I think this post is an attempt to make an obvious question seem like it has deep or non-obvious answers; but in reality I think the answers are pretty obvious. Most people don't kill themselves because they don't want to. It's that simple. It's like asking "Why don't more humans become ballet dancers?" Some try and fail but most just don't want to.

If the question is really; why don't more people want to kill themselves, then the answer is going to vary person by person and be difficult if not impossible to answer globally. Bob might not have any thoughts of suicide at all but Alice might think about it but want to see her nephew grow up and not inflict that pain on her parents.

Truly answering that question would involve a really comprehensive study of a lot of different groups to even attempt to answer it.

Yea, I didn't wanna be a dick by mentioning it but scrolling down to that after reading the article just confused me even more about what the author would define as "good UI".

I count at least 2 unnecessary textures, 4(or 5?) different fonts and a color palette that makes no sense to me.

I know some people are enraged about how many "generic 3-column flat UI" websites there are, but give me one of those any time instead of something that can't make a decision over what unnecessary decorations to use around a button that's already cluttered with a background texture and 3d effect.
That is up to the website implementing the 2FA check. We only have tens of seconds slack.

I mainly disagree w/ the points he makes, but the "vampiric" screenshot of the sidebar is very hard to neglect.

Atlassian Opspack Overview
Botulism isn't a problem as long as the incipient yoghurt is exposed to oxygen and contains plenty of other micro-organisms: c. botulinum is anærobic and easily out-competed by lactobacillus.

There are spores of c. botulinum everywhere, but they don't normally cause a problem unless there's a deoxygenated environment (e.g. in the core of a sausage — Latin botulus, hence the name).

The trouble with poorly-canned goods is that they are not exposed to oxygen, other micro-organisms have been killed off, but c. botulinum has survived: that's a perfect breeding ground for the stuff.

My general rule of thumb for Macbooks:
If you want to do anything other thank browse facebook and write word docs, and want the machine to last you for more than 3 years - get a Pro.

Vote with your wallet, if you can replace the Macbook experiment* with a Pro or some other computer, go for it. As it stands, Apple has no incentive to make it better since they have your money anyway unless enough users skip the product

* I'm convinced "the new Macbook" was born because someone lost a bet and had to answer "how bad can we make a computer and still make people buy it?"
