It's nicer for more complicated applications.

Looking at that code block I know immediately that there are only 3 ways that the state can change and what happens during each transition.

This code is easy to unit test and verify that it is correct meaning that as long as the frontend components dispatch the right actions the store will contain the correct state.

Since the UI should just be a function of the store this means that there is no guess work when it comes to reasoning about what the rendered view will look like after each action.

I'm working on porting an angular SPA to react/redux. While the amount of code increased the whole thing is a lot easier to understand. The angular version had a lot of race conditions that I could never fix.
When you put it against rolling your in VB6, sure it sounds much more reasonable!

Curious how you interact with a USB device like that in VB6 ... Does it just appear as a keyboard?
Then why didn't you get a Sony Z-series? Water proof, great camera, great battery life, great screen, minimal changes to stock Android.
> Yeah, not having a desktop client was one of the reasons we went with Hipchat over Slack.

Is Slack's desktop client a new thing? I'm relatively new to it, but they certainly have one now.

But yeah, not "officially known" as in they released, but there is probably some association there. Just a guess ;-)

> It's trading at a 35% discount from VMW, which is pretty steep.

Sure is, but keep a few things in mind..

1) This is the first time tracking stock has been issued on a public company so there are alot of people out there who aren't really sure what to make of this class instrument yet.

2) You'd expect a steep discount due to liquidity and lack of typical share holder rights. For example, if VMWare did pay a dividend, then the tracking stock would not necessarily have to pay that out to unit holders.

3) EMC paid a dividend. There are alot of funds that bought EMC to get the dividend. They've been forced to sell the tracking stock as VMWare doesn't pay a dividend and the tracking stock won't pay one.
But that was a standard open to all and everyone understood it was the future, even in 1998. Lightning isn't any of that.
I've read that the depth thing is also double edged, in that some device aren't sealed enough at 0m and benefit from having a bit of pressure around to tighten things. So a 50m certified thing can leak in if washed under your bathroom tap.

ps: I'm really dubious about the post swim clean idea, I hope they took minerals and chemical floating (chlorine and whatnot) in their simulation, otherwise that speaker membrane will come with free sound effects over time.
My experience is that it's sometimes twist (doesn't work), relax, twist again (still doesn't work), relax, twist again (still doesn't work), give up, tap the face.

Not always, but often enough to be a mild annoyance.
On the subject of e-ink smart watches, I love my Pebble Time for exactly this reason. One of the backlight settings is Off, and the display is gorgeous. I forget it's even e-ink, because I'm so used to thinking of Kindles when I think of e-ink, with their weird flickering page refreshes. This thing has buttery smooth animations and looks like any other screen to me. The 5-day battery life is certainly helped by this.

The notifications thing really did bug me at first, but fortunately the app allows you to silence notifications. I have mine set to ping me about calendar appointments and text messages, and pretty much nothing else. That strikes a good balance for me.
> Mozilla was also the first to integrate the search and address fields, which they unfortunately stripped out of firefox (and many people think chrome introduced it).

Do you know when this was introduced/removed? I'm curious as to what this implementation was as I don't recall when this happened.
Because it's a tiny lens with a very very short focal length. Short focal lens tend to make everything in focus, regardless of aperture.
I believe that was sarcasm.
Seems biased to sort alphabetically. I clicked away without ever reaching B!
Dare I ask what happens if you stick the cheap one in your mouth?

I don't think I'm interested in signing up to do the experiment personally...
My dad works for EMC, and he's fairly bullish on the whole situation.
You almost suggest your brother isn't as happy as you, but you don't come out and say that. You just mention financial costs.

Do you attribute your happiness do your intelligence? Just curious
I suspect the adapter will be annoying and easily losable.
Go 1.7.1 is out
It's a combination of wide-angle focal length and small sensor size. It is still possible to get a natural depth of field effect by getting very close to the subject, and that effect should be more pronounced with the 56mm equivalent telephoto lens.
Well, mini USB, then micro USB, then USB-C, then...

I have to change my cables every 5 years, not exactly "a" global standard.
i think it was sarcasm
Three things I really hope they do:

1) Come out with a phone case that can hold the AirPods, and ideally charge them (Maybe enhance the battery case they already have?). I don't want yet another thing in my pocket, especially one I also have to remember to charge. Let me charge my phone, which can then charge my airpods. Let me always have my airpods on me by attaching them to my phone.

2) Make a "Find my Airpods" feature that plays a really loud ass beep out of the headphones when they inevitably fall out of my ears/hands/pocket/bag/everywhere

3) Enable more tap commands than just Siri. Siri sucks so much. And I don't want to be on an airplane loudly repeating "Turn up the volume"
Given that you get a lightning to audio jack converter right in the box it's pretty much the only significant objection IMHO. Converter cables aren't ideal, but hardly a ragequit issue. I wonder if third party charge/jack splitter cables are possible?
Yes, soumith's is a much more comprehensive benchmark. I wanted a new one for a few reasons:

- run training including weights updates, not just forward+backward

- run on Pascal architecture (latest and greatest)

- use cuDNN 5

So mine doesn't try to cover nearly as much ground, but is a closer match to the most common use case of running training on latest hardware right now.

When soumith's next project DeepMark is done, that will be the new best benchmark, it looks really good.
The biggest drawback, maybe the only drawback of this new iPhone, is that you can't use the EarPods while charging.

(Edited for clarity)
But the lightening port is a closed standard, as opposed to USB. It would have made much more sense here if Apple had used USB-C instead of lightening.
InfluxDB 1.0.0 is out
So it's water resistant but not water proof... It has 2 cameras like other Android phones had years ago. Basically same everything but with a Mario app and no headphone jack? Do you think Steve Jobs would have approved of this to hit retail?
Apple - Be exceptional. Or the exception. Whatever, just pay us :D
Right, I'm not defending this decision, specifically. Just offering a counterpoint to the parent's:

> the biggest difference is that those technologies were all on the downward slope of their popularity when Apple made the move

This was not the case when Apple pushed hard on USB as compared to other peripheral standards with the iMac in the late '90s.
I kind of doubt Apple would retain legacy support for the iPad just because they have the space. If they are pushing a lightning/wireless future, they are probably planning to deploy/force that future on their entire device line.
I might be convinced of that when they improve the battery technology. No company on the planet except for Apple can say "wireless is the future" and charge $159 for buds that last 5 hours.
Majority wouldn't. They'll get the 7s or wait for the 8.
I just went through the first tutorial and it's well written. However, I just had to try it with AngularJs and jQuery as well. Here are the results http://goo.gl/V0NvkC

In such a simple example, I think jquery wins. However, more complicated solutions might be better suited towards frameworks like Angular and React.
I would much rather pay 1% more for my food than 10% more for may healthcare. For many there will be no amount that can be paid to keep up with antibiotic resistant bacteria, it will kill people.

I am sure that farmer's would rather risk their livestock than risk their children or grandchildren.

I think the only way this practice can exist is when people do not understand or are coerced into doing it. Many of the largest farms just have people following rote instructions and not actually understanding what is happening.

Let's compare to an easier to understand industry, think about fast food. The people in the kitchen at a McDonald's don't need to know how to cook, they follow the instructions and put uncooked meat in a machine and food comes out of the machine. If that process killed kittens somehow the McDonalds worker would never know.

I suspect the near minimum wage workers manning livestock farms and farmers that might not have the benefit of a full education, simply don't or don't accept that antibiotic abuse creates a breeding ground for something will kill some of their children.
Deployment shouldn't normally be a huge cause of serious outages because the problems should be caught early, when they are affecting only a small fraction of traffic. If you deploy to one of ten thousand replicas, and even if the new build is completely broken, serving errors to 0.0001 of your queries for a few minutes isn't going to eat much of your failure budget. Even better if you can deploy to testing, internal, or other non-public-facing replicas that don't count against your failure budget at all.

There are very large services at Google that deploy builds daily. We have a lot of monitoring, and many of our services are rigged to automatically detect and roll back bogus pushes.

The largest source of outages in these large systems is not software deployment, but configuration changes especially in systems that aren't rigged for regular automatic push. The second largest source is somewhat ironically incorrect response to small outages.
The thing is made with a steel tube frame and plywood panels. And if you look at the pictures there's a lack of compound curves. So it seems to me that a lot of repairs can be done in a very basic workshop, without having to order spare parts from abroad.
The way I understood it is they can mix data from both cameras to produce smooth, optical quality zoom between the two focal lengths.
They take 15 minutes to recharge for another 3 hours of listening. Minor inconvenience.
The original iPhone did not usher in the era of the 2.5 mm audio jack.
We run in every browser very well. Have a Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android client.
Removing the 3.5mm headphone adaptor is a fantastic hedge by Apple
I wasn't but I still was annoyed that many MacOS drivers were only available on floppies.
The other thing about that though- you can't listen to your headphones or hook up aux speakers while your phone is charging.
It is solid state will be the first place that EMC has faltered. And it has NOTHING to offer. XtremIO doesn't count because it is going to be deprecated soon and still is not a part of vBlock so its future is sketchy.
I am still in the category of, until I can make calls with it and not need the phone I am not in need of it. I figure by gen 4 or 5 we might get there
I have the HD 598s and I can wear them all day.
A DAC with an amplifier good enough to power those little headphones fits into the control box on the cord.
It's worth noting that Finland has been aggressive in controlling MRSA in hospitals, so they may have a higher proportion of community infections.

Also from the paper you quote: Based on our study, the proportion (21%) of community-acquired MRSA was relatively high in Finland.
Hell no.

I think this has done it folks. After almost 10 years of iOS devices it's time to move on. Vote with your wallets and reject this garbage.
Can the 3.5mm to Lightning adapters be legally produced without paying royalties to Apple for using the Lightning connector?

On a related note: I wonder if one reason for eliminating the jack is to close that open interface which some devices like the "Square" were using. I'm not sure how much of an impact this has though; it was just a thought.
There's a bunch. I'm partial to my Samsung Gear S2 Classic.
It's not really a big deal, I have a charger at my desk for my phone. So once every 3-4 weeks, I plug in the mouse when I leave. It's never run out of battery when I wanted to use it.
I seriously don't get it. Are we wearing the case? Or is that dangling behind us or what?
I was really curious how they'd handle wireless audio. In my experience, Bluetooth is slow to pair, connect, and glitchy in common environments. So I find it very indicative that the new Airpods do not mention Bluetooth, and the Beats Solo3 cryptically mentions "Connections: Bluetooth, Wireless" on its product page [1]. Sadly, I don't expect them to open their tech to 3rd parties soon :(

I never use a case for my phones. Honestly, I kinda like the way phones "wear down". It's mine, and I scratched it up a bit, no problem.
I'm the creator of The Earth Awaits. It's the tool I've always wanted to evaluate my ability to live abroad on a limited budget. It generates custom budgets based on your inputs, and filters the cities to match your budget, pollution, and crime rate preferences.

There are so many great sites on the internet that aggregate data about cities and countries, but none that build a budget that's tailored specifically to you. I want to know how I can take my lifestyle and translate it to another country. What would it cost? Where can I afford with my current, meager retirement savings?

The tool is aimed at world travelers, expat retirees, students studying abroad, any really anyone with a sense of adventure willing to live someplace long-term. It's also a useful tool for those interested in relocating within their own country.

One of the common complaints with crowdsourced cost-of-living data is inaccuracy, which can be true inaccuracy or simply a mismatch in lifestyle expectations. That's why I added the ability to edit your budget for cities line-by-line, and to download the data as a CSV when you're done. If you disagree with me, use the data as the basis for your own budget!

The application is written in Python/Django, and is my first-ever web app.
You should work for apple because this is exactly right! How can a random guy on HN get it but engineers and executives at the biggest and most resource rich company in the world not get it.

Also, the airpods have some serious bluetooth headset douchbag factor going on. Shoulda made them skin color tones to offset it a bit.
I suspect the adapter will cost ten bucks a throw. Buy a spare. (Or don't. But it's an odd place to get frugal when we're talking about a $700 phone.)
If someone isn't warming up an injection-molding machine right now to produce a lanyard / anti-loss-thing for these, they are leaving money on the table.
The only issue is that you also need to charge the AirPods, no?
I am curious about how you come by your view. Have a look at this defense [0] of Hamilton on the $10. I can see from it how many could see him as a genius.

I can still get great facial recognition data out of LIDAR. In fact I can get just as much data from you with LIDAR as I can an image, because they are precision depth by default. For example I can "bounce" my LIDAR into your bag and see what's inside that might not be visible otherwise.

There are a lot of issues with microLIDAR - notwithstanding that it's at least 5 years from commercialization.
Saying I worked hard is a more comforting story than saying I was lucky. I think people are likely to put more value on hard work than its due.
They claim that a 15-minute charge from the case gives 3 hours of battery life. That seems fairly usable -- perfect for a charge-up during bathroom breaks.
That is the same problem just on the other end as it appears the AirPods can only be charged in their case.
Yeah but for encrypted websites you need to trust the certificate. Parent wasn't talking ss vs plain, but ss vs ca. If a self signed google.com would be accepted by firefox, it'd be much much worse. You'd thought is secure and instead it may not be. The system we have isn't flawless, but it beats having to pin down every signature manually if browsers started treating self signed as trusted
Most of our users do use the native apps. Some prefer the browser though.
I use this on the iPad for when I'm viewing PDFs, it works quite well.
You can dunk the iPhone 6 in water. They are fairly water proof, but it is not part of the product specification.

Now they consider the waterproofing good enough to guarantee it.
Donate them to a design museum. You get a tax write-off, and you can buy the new $1000 version.
The adapter doesn't allow you to charge. So older cars can't Music+GPS+Charge which means you just have a dead phone when you get where you are going.
> makes the phone sleeker

It's the exact same size as the 6s.
Google is a big enough organization that experience varies. When I was an SRE I wrote C++ code pretty much all day every day, even while being oncall, with only the occasional intervention necessary on my part. Teams like you describe are considered to be in "operational overload" and are actively dismantled by senior leadership, with responsibility for the dodgy systems devolving on the people who wrote them in the first place.
Yeah, OpenDNS shut down that one for me as well.
The most cliche joke ever already
> already well implemented in Android

Yup. I remember the original iPhone/iPad announcements where many features were fairly innovative. Now applauded feature announcements are for features already out on Android phones.
Minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of life doesn't mean it can't be a major inconvenience in the moment. And when I'm out, or indisposed to charge my headphones, in that moment it's a major inconvenience. Especially for a solution that went in search of a problem that didn't exist.
did you check the latest Dell XPS Developer Edition ? They are pretty high quality and come with Ubuntu preinstalled.
Removed audio jack and still not waterproof.
Thanks, and thanks for the feedback! There are social sharing links on the bottom-right of the image on top, definitely let me know if those aren't working for you.

Accounts, saving, and custom stored budgets are definitely on the horizon. I had been iterating for so long that I was starting to go crazy, and decided that it was definitely time to get it out there before I totally lost it!
The social issue thing is real and it's an interesting quandary.

I think my personal beef with them is when I interact with someone wearing an earpiece, it makes me think (rightly or wrongly) that they are happy to interact with me BUT at any moment a ping from their earpiece will be by default more important.

Maybe it's (perhaps in part) my own issue though.

On the other hand I can see the value in it, especially if Siri's abilities improve, and if speech recognition improves also.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned and in time this will built into our social fabric (I think back to the late 1980s and early 1990s when walking around with a handheld cell phone seemed incredibly dickish)

Reminds me of "Catch Me If You Can" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" movies.
They specifically made comparisons to the A8 chip (in the 6 and 6+) during the event and emphasized the speed increase. Apple knows their true problem is getting old iPhone users to upgrade.

Also, did you see the event? Not the same phone at all.

Wide color, awesome new camera and dropping it in the toilet might be enough.
"Jobs with oncall don't offer more compensation than jobs that don't."

This sounds particular to your experience. There are definitely companies where on-call time is compensated.
It's not really an iPhone event. It's Apple's September event. They could have easily done it.
Apple already had their standard before there was USB-C. Do you think yet another port migration would be well received ?
You are oversimplifying. There were multiple stages of things going wrong and there is no system where things can't get wrong to the point where "you're just fcked". What do you think how many innocent people got put in prison with no avenue of appeal, for example? Even suing for your right won't guarantee you the correct outcome and at some point you'll exhaust your options of appeal.

This person just won the unfortunate lottery that in a large enough sample there has* to be at least one person who gets treated unfairly.

Plus, of course, they are butthurt over the fact that they don't understand how trademark works (I mean… honestly? How could they think that that rename would make it better?). It's not like they didn't get multiple levels of appeals by humans, they just didn't like the answer they got so felt more comfortable blaming automation.
I use earbuds for hours a day, and replace them at least once a year at a cost of $10 or less. So earPods cost about a decade's worth of wired earbuds.

Besides, wireless earbuds that only last for 5 hours would be completely useless to me, since I often listen to music all day while hiking. I can't imagine I'm the only one who dislikes having ever more things that need to be frequently charged: wireless mice, "smart" watches, now earbuds. I'm pretty happy with my digital watch that lasts several years on a battery, and my cheap headphones that don't need to charge, and won't get lost when they fall out of my ears. Sorry, but not everything can or should be wireless.
