This should pretty much be a solved-problem. They have a non-pro line where small, sexy and fashionable are the order of the day (lets assume the 'new macbook' will absorb the Air line), and a Pro line that's verging on desktop-replacement.

One thing I always loved was that apple's lineup was so clear-cut that I never had to put a moment of thought into which model I needed.

If they go this direction, what's the differentiator between the Pro and non-Pro lines? non-pro doesn't get a 15" option and Pro doesn't get a 12" option? That's it?

I think the 'new macbook' is going to absorb the Air line and become "the perfect starbucks machine" in a couple of iterations (everything that currently holds it back, is everything that held the 1stgen Air back). They have the 'average consumer' machine right there. Don't try to make the Pro the 'average consumer' machine too.
Which of these currently aren't true?

Headphone with microphone yes? MagSafe yes, multiple USB and thunderbolt/mini-DisplayPort ports, function keys can be set to function like that by default.

I just got a MacBook Pro and I don't think anything is missing from your list. Not 100% on the headphones.
Perhaps that is true for poker and sports betting (although I don't believe tertiary level mathematics is a pre-requisite), but you don't necessarily need to be good at maths to be successful in business.

Dedication, vision, relationships and a whole host of other factors combine in successful business management, which can go a long way towards mitigating risk.
40 miles / 5 hours is 8 mph or a 7:30 pace (presumably "easy" for him/her). That's quick but not olympics level (they do more like 6:30 easy, I think).

(As a much slower runner, I can maintain 7:30 for a mile or two. Just not 40. :-))

I'm about to die laughing at the hoops people are jumping through in the comments to claim they've never pulled up some porn and enjoyed themselves in front of their laptop. Ever. EVER
recur

I actually really like recur because it signifies intent. It tells the future-me that I intended for this function to be tail recursive (ie, it not being tail-recursive should be considered an error).
The idea that passive voice is used in philosophy doesn't seem to be a novel idea [0].

For what it's worth, I don't think undergraduate CS degrees develop students' writing abilities at all. There are only a few proof-based courses I can think of, and those courses (e.g., Theory of Computation, Algorithms) need not necessarily be taught in a mathematically rigorous manner (which is to say, proof writing in these courses may be minimal, depending on the instructor).

Cmd + R or Ctrl + R do the same thing in Chrome without having to reach up to the F keys, so probably not.
" Maybe I can do the same stuff, but slower."

Or hopefully likely you'll do the same stuff, but smarter.

The amount of time and energy you put into something shouldn't be nearly as important as how much progress you make. Unfortunately, good metrics are hard, so some people and companies push for "activity" because you can roughly measure it.
Yes, they are very powerful and flexible. These frameworks actually payoff and simplify once your project grows beyond a particular size.
The Spawn of Facebook Groups
I definitely recommend putting in the time to use https. If you use LetsEncrypt it is free and can be completely automated.

Closing the about me window to reach the achievements and stories links was unintuitive for me. (also perhaps consider having clicking outside one of the story events close the story (the same as clicking outside the about me and contact me panes), scrolling back up to the x wasn't that bad but my first instinct was to click on the background.)

I am also unsure why the achievements / stories buttons switch between the two as they don't overlap, I understand not wanting to have too much showing at once, put perhaps a pan on the background or something (not a fully fleshed out thought).
Considering that "in the beginning" was mostly hydrogen and helium, I'd say that the present state of affairs is an "abundance". Granted, nothing is in abundance other than spacetime though if you want to be picky about it through.
Hmmm...I wonder what technology it might use. Anyway, my impression is that the critical time for the website is at launch and that after that it's diminishing returns.
You and the OP have a difference in opinion regarding what higher-education should be used for. You're concerned with potential job prospects while the article seems to deal with developing yourself as a main priority.

I went to an art school, studied theory there and wouldn't trade it for anything. They gave me the tools to teach myself and to understand the things around me - which I see as much more valuable than any specific job-oriented training. And from my experience employers are very impressed with these types of skills too.
Escondido is another reasonably priced suburb. My wife and I bought a nice house there in the mid $500s. The only downside of Escondido is that the school system is not great and it's a good 40 minutes from downtown SD.
Indeed. I stand corrected, and thank you. That's good to know.

I visit the quant stack exchange site and they try their best to keep the questions to a level that a practicing quant would expect. The math overflow stack exchange is another example of where they try to keep the questions to a higher level.

If you keep this in mind then things start to make more sense.

As an example consider a stack exchange called Advanced C++. If someone comes in and asks, what does the "class" key mean, then I think it would be more than fair to close that question.

Now back to the question at hand.

IMHO the question you link to is not a good question. It's not clear what they user is asking.

I mean it contains a couple of incorrect statements that people point out in the comments.

I'm a practicing quant and I can't make much sense of what the question is asking.

If the user is asking in what situations would you do early exercise of an American option then you can easily aruge that this should be closed as its a basic question that isn't up to the standard that a practicing quant would ask.

But again, I can't really make sense as to what the user wants to ask. I'm guessing this is why it was closed.
I just want to know what you mean by the statement "HÖMDRY has a blue UV light that kills germs".

Is it an effective germicide, or is that added feature there as a marketing gimmick?
How I Got Here: My Journey into the World of Redux and Open Source
A complete theory of the dopamine reward system and its role in addiction, not a complete theory of every human being's psyche... is what I was pretty clearly talking about in context. No need to go all "future crime" on me and drag this so far off topic into the realm of speculation.
I don't think he's boasting about how poorly it prepared him for the job market. Rather, he's saying studying philosophy is worth it form him despite being poorly prepared for the job market, because he's interested in "searching, exploring, and wondering" -- which he might not be able to do on the job if he got a menial job, but could continue on his own time, after hours.

I doubt he will be working as a barista, though. With his double major, he'll probably have the option to work in academia after he graduates. Economists are also valued in industry these days, and even a philosophy major could always go to law school, which tend to accept more philosophy majors than any others.
Visualizing _the win_ versus _imagining winning_ are two completely different things. That's good solid advice.
haha. Totally agree with keeping an active communication. Without communication, those relationships tend to grow cold and slowly die.
The problem with pixel art games is they tend to emphasize style over content. Game designers should strive to make the best possible game and allow a style to emerge from that, not the other way around.
My point exactly. Spas are going in that direction. "Firebase" allows them to be "serverless" sincebthey have a shared database to write to and read from
At 34, I interviewed at $BIG_SV_CO with two late 20s engineers. Not a huge age gap. In the discussion portion of the interview I asked if they were on xbox, ps4, battle.net, etc -- because I like to game occasionally in my spare time. They seemed almost offput by the question, as if they thought I was trying to force commonality or making assumptions about them. I dunno, it was weird.
Which is why Google took it and ran with it as Android Studio.
I work from home four days a week and commute one day - usually around 2 hours round trip.

I get paid less at this job than I would if I was willing to commute to the city where my office is located. But I consider the mental and emotional benefit of not having that daily grind to be worth more than the wage gap.

I greatly prefer to slow pace of country life after a day working, whether at home or in the office. The technology industry is stressful enough without the added stress of city dwelling, in my opinion.
Hah! Nice job on inverting the random number generator. And note that RNGs for testing data patterns have much less stringent requirements than cryptographically secure RNGs :-). I'm hopeful that a known good disk will actually boot something.
Why would apple even need to ask these questions. I'd assume they'd have software which phones home usage information.
Would a good approach to major JVM upgrades in production be to remove all but critical JVM flags in the new version, and run it on a subset of nodes, then?

After getting a baseline measurement of performance with JVM defaults, experiment with tuning a couple of settings, measure some more, make sure nothing breaks under load. Repeat until new JVM version seems stable/performs better/etc even under worst load and then upgrade all nodes to the latest and greatest?
I wish companies would post a spread of their developer ages on their careers page so we would know which ones not to waste time with. Because mere lip service about hiring solely on merit, even if the hirer somehow believes they are, really just wastes everyone's time.
I have the audio book, but haven't listened to it yet. This just bumped it up to the top of my queue.

I felt the same way with Never Ending Story. And, as a kid, I loved that movie. Book was so much more, though.

Howl's Moving Castle was one where I actually had a hard time liking more than one or two scenes of the movie, because of how much I liked the book.
And, even in the US, you still typically have to pay property taxes to maintain ownership, have to obey zoning laws, may need to maintain the property within certain conditions based on HOAs etc., probably don't own mineral rights, and certainly not airspace at least above a certain I'll-defined distance.
moron4hire is correct.

You might be interested in something like ORWL[1], which is arguably the most secure consumer PC I've ever heard of. It has tamper-resistant features, full disk encryption, and a secure co-processor which does things like disable the USB data paths when the system locks.

Admittedly, though, it's not a laptop.

As far as laptops go, the librem 13[2], with Qubes OS and coreboot would be a pretty good bet.

If you haven't already, definitely take a look at Qubes OS[3]. It offers security by compartmentalizing different workspaces in different vm's managed by Xen so, in theory, even a kernel exploit isn't getting very far into the system.

As someone who lived in NYC for 17 years and moved to SF 6 months ago, my anecdotal experience so far is that SF is nowhere near as intense as NYC, at least as far as workplace environment goes. Everything feels considerably more laid back to me.
I think the problem is guidelines and principles are just that, guides. You cannot turn off your critical thinking just because you read somewhere that you should do things a certain way.

The problem, of course, is that your critical thinking needs experience before you truly become capable of deciding if a particular principle should be followed or broken in a particular case.

In short, I think guidelines help, but you have to walk the path to know the path.

I'd like to hear your story if you'd care to share.

I searched around for any strategies for trading ether and other cryptos, and came away with the conclusion that anyone successful keeps their cards close to their chest.

Instead I built a mining rig and hold ETH for the longer term (day to day mining is unprofitable currently due to high electricity costs where I live).
When you feel an impulse to talk or joke about physical appearance, politics, religion, sex, gender, rape, racial issues, nationality/ethnicity, etc., just hold your tongue!

Going to such extremes to guarantee never offending anyone is a great way to wind up unhappy and alone at work. It's fine if that's what you want - when I don't like talking to my coworkers in the first place I happily implement that strategy.

Chances are that anyone using that strategy and isn't also miserable has a fair number of unspoken assumptions about acceptable behavior, and isn't actually using that strategy. They're just slightly more guarded than in their normal behavior.
Your memory is good but I think that was the form given in a Dawson's Creek episode (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0555133/quotes).

The one that Goodreads and other sites attribute to Flaubert is: "Pleasure is found first in anticipation, later in memory." I couldn't find a source for this but I think rather than Flaubert this is from Julian Barnes's book Flaubert's Parrot, which has:

“Remember the botched brothel-visit in L’Education sentimentale and remember its lesson. Do not participate: happiness lies in the imagination, not the act. Pleasure is found first in anticipation, later in memory.” (https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1414912-flaubert-s-par...).

This quote does not appear in the full text of that book, though (https://archive.org/stream/sentimentaleduca00flauiala/sentim...).

I totally agree with the sentiment expressed, of course. The real lover not being as beautiful or desirable as the imagined version is a common motif esp. in Middle Eastern literature.
Oh god, why would you trade Ethernet for an SD card or video? I actually have the ethernet adapter as well as a VGA adapter, as I'm a traveling consultant who deals with many different environments and not all of them are state of the art. I've never used the Ethernet adapter, but I use the VGA adapter several times per year. I use the SD slot more than all of them combined, though, as my Time Machine disk goes in there.

Really though, this just highlights the difference between how people use things. I cannot imagine why in the world you would want Ethernet, as it never gets used. You probably have a hard time wondering why they include an SD card reader. There are plenty of professionals out there who never use any of them. I've only had a 3.5mm plug in my Macbook Pro once or twice.

For as much hate as adapters get, professional users are the least likely to lose them and the most likely to buy them. It doesn't make sense to make consumers buy adapters for things they use every day, but how many device-specific things do each of us have? How many of us have a box of cables, dongles, and plugs in our closet? All of us. There are a ton of different use cases for a pro device, and modularity really does make sense. I don't need Ethernet. I don't need a 3.5mm jack. I don't need HDMI. If I do need them (rarely), Apple makes a Thunderbolt adapter for it. It's the same reason many of us build our own PCs, so we can pick exactly what we want or do not want in our computers.
This paints a dark picture, not only for urban life, but for basic income. What wondrous creativity will be unlocked when we no longer need to work to survive? A negative amount, if you judge by the NEETs of today. Give a man food, shelter, and internet, and he'll kill himself for you.
See, e.g., Quine's "Translation and Meaning,"[0] as well as the blog post I linked to further down the page. Not every philosophy program consists solely of analytic philosophy; continental philosophy writing is rife with passive voice.

(I work for Guardtime; I’m happy to answer any questions.) Some online resources might not make it very clear, but the KSI blockchain is indeed a blockchain; for example, new blocks are released periodically (1 block per second on average), and the new blocks contain hashes of the previous blocks, among other things. Then, blocks get distributed around so that users can verify their data against these blocks, etc.
Oddly, DWJ really liked the Howl's Moving Castle film, apparently.

As a Miyazaki/Ghibli fan, I got into the film more than the book.

I still need to read The Never Ending Story. But yeah, the movie of Rats of NIMH was super disappointing to me.

> Who studies philosophy in school when graduates becomes a historian of philosophy, not a philosopher.

No, when they graduate, they become a degree holder in philosophy. What they do afterwards determines if they become a historian of philosophy, a philosopher, or something else entirely (or some combination.)

> Requirement of a diploma to philosophise contradicts philosophy itself.

Perhaps (though I think its more accurate to say that it contradicts some particular philosophies), but pursuing a diploma to improve your ability to do something doesn't mean that there is a diploma requirement for that task.

I mean, "requiring a diploma to do science contradicts science itself" is at least as accurate, and probably more accurate, than the version with "philosophy" in place of "science", but few people would dispute that, in many fields of empirical science, the education which goes into a diploma, particularly at certain schools, is useful to one wishing to do science well.

Similarly, formal education in philosophy can be useful to those wishing to do philosophy well.

> Philosophy is not a job, it's a personal trait, like honesty, faith, generosity, aggressiveness, asocialness, timidity, etc

No, its not. "Philosophy" has at least two related senses, one of which is a thing one does (perhaps as a job, perhaps not), and the other of which is an a label for a class of belief systems, the holding of one of which is a personal trait, but philosophy itself is not a trait that you have more or less of like the ones you named, but instead something which you have one or another specific version of. (The first sense of "philosophy" discussed previously is approximately developing, refining, and critiquing instances of the second sense.)

> Philosophy is love of wisdom.

The English word "philosophy" derives from Greek for the love of wisdom, but that's not what it means. Etymology is distinct from definition.

> I'm a huge fan of Microsoft, heavy Azure and .NET stack user, and I can't find a single nice thing to say about Edge.

It's touch-friendly.

I own a Surface Pro 3, and it's my go-to device when I'm laying on my couch. I obviously don't hook up the keyboard when doing this. No other browser on Windows is actually optimized for being used on a touchscreen. They all have tiny hit targets and are basically unusable without a keyboard and mouse. Edge also doesn't make the same mistake Chrome does and shrink the size of your tabs when you have a lot open; instead, it keeps all tabs at a fixed size and scrolls them when you have too many to fit on one screen, which is the more touch-friendly solution.

I wouldn't use Edge on a desktop, but my Surface needs it.

(as a side note, it's too bad Microsoft cancelled their Android runtime, because I'd love to be able to run Chrome for Android on my Surface)
> thinking about a really hard problem with no good solutions, picking one, and arguing for it. And since there are so few fixed points, almost anything is arguable. Really, it's a debater's paradise.

Sounds like the entire content of all non-technical jobs and a good proportion of the content of technical jobs.

I don't know, I don't buy into this. The pixels weren't as crisp as they are when you're emulating these games, but I certainly remember them existing. Looking at those screenshots, you absolutely can tell that those images are built out of pixels. Also, like someone else mentioned, what about handheld consoles that very clearly displayed pixels? It wasn't like everyone thought that was some crazy new idea.
Maybe it doesn't confuse others, but the removal of the word 'the' before "corporate colossus" (as it appears in the subtitle of the linked article) makes this title hard for me to parse.
