Kind of. Manufacturers make what the market wants, weighted by price. It's harder to justify a high margin on a smaller phone. A phone without a replaceable battery, or one that gets damaged more easily, brings in revenue.
I wonder if Apple gathers any statistics on the most pressed keyboard keys. That could be a reason why they decided to go with the OLED touch panel as a replacement for function keys.
Bear in mind that owners of either coin are financially motivated to promote it vs the alternative, as its value is driven by demand. Expect to disregard the majority of comments about altcoins (Monero and ZCash are among the few doing anything remotely interesting, so it's only worse for less well known coins).
I find that kind of stuff interesting as well. I thought about creating an Ask:HN thread to bring the subject up but I have the feeling that most HN readers probably keep up to date on their hardware and software.

As long as the touch sensor is extents past the display, the bezel can be a very useful feature for touch-screen based devices. Having swipes that begin off screen for OS-level commands like pulling down the notification bar or switching apps is a very intuitive and logical gesture. Without a bezel, you have to go back to needing off-screen buttons for these actions.

I'm not saying this shouldn't be done; I personally will be using yarn for all my future work. It might be a bit early, but regardless, the comment I linked to is about the process that has to happen for that kind of change to be seriously considered.
That makes much more sense.
> It's marked as [flagged], so it was killed because some users flagged it.

That's just right. That post was killed because users flagged it, and it can be unkilled if other users feel it should be discussed on HN and vouch for it.
This is the end of Apple. I've been using MAC for over 100 years and this is the final straw. I'll never buy another product from MAC. No function keys on the MACbook, no headphone jack on the Iphone, less space than a nomad. It's bad enough that I need all these dongles for my headphones, SCSI CD drives, and CueCats, and now I need to get even more dongles for my function keys. I knew MAC was going to fail ever since they released the underpowered and un-upgradable toy Imac.
But it's harder to control the OS and the hardware.
You running Windows or Linux? How much did it set you back? I was looking at the Lenovo P50/P70 in order to get an ECC RAM laptop, nice to know that HP is an option as well. Manufacturers might start making workstation-level linux laptops for devs which would be sweet. It's interesting that laptops run all the way from €300 to, what, €4000(?) nowadays. There's a huge amount of variety. Definitely would like to go Xeon + ECC + 32 gigs for my next purchase.
Fruit picking, it has already started but could really take off.

Also, talking to a guy at work whose in-laws own a super popular Chinese restaurant where I live, manufacture of some dumplings. But this one is super hard when you look at how long it takes a person to learn to do it just right, mostly by feel, as all flour is different and changes day to day with humidity.
This is actually my side project. It's very much unfinished but if anyone has any feedback I'd love to hear it.
For laptops I agree, lots of pain, but for desktops I've never had any major issues with the last 3 Intel+Nvidia PCs I've had over the years, always worked really well.

For me the only downside really is the extra reboot after an OS update every 2 months to update nvidia driver and repatch sound kext.
It's Stackoverflow in 4kB. Here is the explanation: http://danlec.com/blog/stackoverflow-in-4096-bytes
Imagine that you went to a restaurant and the restaurant told you where to send a payment. Then they could confirm that you had done so.

Now imagine that the restaurant didn't possess any information that it could use to identify you as a result of the payment, and that no payment intermediary possessed information that could be used to identify the parties to the transaction, and that when the restaurant later spent the money, the source of the funds couldn't be associated with your payment transaction (perhaps even by you as the customer).

Those are some properties that we could wish for in an anonymous payment system. It doesn't mean that the payee can't tell that a payment was made in response to a particular request, though it might not know "by whom" in any other sense.
I hated having to use the new MacBook. It felt like I was using a BlackBerry keyboard.
> If Apple still sells a bunch of these, then it was a good idea

Nope, it will just prove that Apple has no competitor in the field of quality computers. I would still buy a Macbook if they sold the 2009 (even for the price of today). With or without Force Touch, which is bad UI, just like removing the Esc key.
The question then must be … why do you do it?
> Not accounting for travel to the airport v travel to the train station

That's probably +30-60 min though. An airport is outside a city; train stations usually are scattered within a city, with one in a very centre.
You can download a custom bundle of jquery from the source. But then it won't be shared with other websites. The solution is for browsers to cache common libraries and not try to load these resources per page.
IME, the smartest guy is usually the quiet one at the back of the room who doesn't say anything, and he probably won't talk to you unless the room is very, very quiet.
Do you never use the Esc key without looking?
Yeah wrapping around those prongs seems like the worst thing you can do to that tiny cable. And I don't blame the users for this. I just don't understand why they would put those prongs there.
I majored in music and I like what I see so far. The interactivity is nice. Looking forward to seeing more. Pretty solid on the concepts that are covered but I could do with a review on part-writing and other intermediate/advanced topics :).
The question on my mind is whether internet companies in the future will be required to do something like this.
I was kind of hoping for a touch screen Mac. Is that ever gonna happen?
8GB of RAM is only required when you want to transact; if you're not making transactions but are simply another node in the network (perhaps mining, or something), then I don't think the work required is any different from Bitcoin.
There must be more to Xeons than being an i7 w/ ECC surely.
Has apple ever really tested this though, because there's enough going on in each iteration that it'd be very hard to scientifically gauge the effects of singular decisions or changes. Maybe they're chasing diminishing returns at this point, maybe there are sacred things that you can't go after. Or maybe none of it really matters and people are buying for reasons unrelated to dropping case size by .1" or .3 lbs
Fantastic write up. Thanks very much. Most definitely something for me to chew on.
Can't tell if this guy is being sarcastic.
While that article may be relevant, I think the OP is noteworthy is because it is a framework, rather than a novel idea.
Same. I travel extensively with my laptop which means it and the charging cable are in and out of the bag a lot. The adapter is unplugged and plugged in multiple times per day. I go through about two charging cables a year right now. If they don't physically start fraying, the pins in the magsafe start sticking and it no longer makes good contact.
I don't think it's a huge difference. Both () and {} require shift modifiers on US layouts, and they are both used extensively in most programming languages, far more than [] and nobody seems to complain.
By the same token, sending the message to launch is not the same as sending a confidential message.

You could map it to both 'jk' and 'kj' and then you don't have to worry about the order of the keypress, just press both 'j' and 'k' together.

I'm sorry for being wrong then, but I'm still a bit confused - which part of the article is inaccurate?

> Its central sin is that it obscures the mundane, industrial-based reasons for the tuning standard's emergence.

The article claims that tuning standards emerged because pitch inflation lead to problems for singers, is that inaccurate?

I see this sentiment all over the internet but I don't really understand it. Not trying to be snarky but can you explain why you want the caps lock key gone?

I know personally I don't use it too often, but it's nice to have if I want to type in all caps which happens occasionally. Holding down shift with a pinky for a anything more than a few key presses can be a little uncomfortable so I appreciate the caps lock key.
What about ctrl + c?
SNARKs are not proofs-of-work, but are instead used to prove that you can spend a coin, without revealing which coin you're spending.
It's not a problem for coding, although I've taken to using a US keyboard of late with my iPad and find it easier to code in C and Python.
> Zcash requires two states, a state analogous to bitcoin, and the anonymous zcash state which has to be explicitely opted into.

It does not require two states, this is a misconception that originates from the paper which refers to "basecoins" and other obsolete terminology. The protocol was anticipated to be a sidechain of some kind, but due to technical limitations that never panned out. Our system does use two states, but I personally advocate for removing the "transparent" system in the future when we have things like private multi-sig.

> Cryptonote are also auditable if a user wants to reveal information about a transaction. But even then the information is limited, it will show that payments came in and out of specific amounts, but it won't show the sending/receiving address along with those transaction IDs.

You can do all of this with our system as well, it was one of our design goals!

Teleportation? Synthetic local proxy android?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic. This is definitely a problem faced by any company with remote teams, including mine. I'm not saying any of the solutions I posited are feasible, but one day, far in the future, I'm hopeful that some kind of solution will be developed. If anything, because there is a huge market in facilitating communication between remote teams.
Honestly Mail.app has been going downhill the past few years, much like the rest of the OS. 10.6 was stellar, 10.8 was meh, after that it went down the drain.

I recently switched to Linux Mint (Cinnamon) and there is not a thing I miss. Thunderbird is pretty good too.
I have to add: It's weird that there isn't a clear and immediate answer to this question. Especially considering recent events.

I like it when people "profess" to me in the sense of this article. I love to learn. Sure, maybe it's bad during a meeting with time limits. But in general, don't hold back your knowledge!
Actually, now that I look at it afresh doesn't it remind you of a railroad switch. Can't believe I never noticed that before.
I still pine for the sculpted aluminium* keys of my old 2007 MacBook Pro. These replacement squares of black plastic have never endeared themselves. For desktop use the DasKeyboard (with the blue 'clicky' keys) is probably still my top recommendation for feedback lovers, albeit in second place behind a late-'90s IBM model that is long out of production.
Just wanted to echo the sentiments about having an investor/friend who sticks with you through the thick/thin. I think some investors are all about downside protection and it usually manifests in legal instruments that benefit the investor if anything goes wrong, but more importantly, you can tell by the way you're treated. It's rare that investors don't have the "game" change them. They start to focus on their returns, care only about a few number of winners (when in fact, writing the check is just the beginning to making sure you have an active winning investment). Lots of these investors completely forget why they are VCs in the first place.

When Esper was changing from an AI assistant company to a calendar analytics company, we went through one of these moments. Some investors were immature frantically trying to find an edge, while some others did everything in their power to help us transition. When things get tough, you realize who has grit.

I remember thinking that Garry was uncannily nice with us during this trying time (to be fair, I've known him since we were both founders and consider him one of my best friends in the bay area). He was always solutions oriented, introducing us to people, thinking through problems and just giving more of his and the Initialized team's time than probably we warranted. The reason why he was that way was because he cares about you (the founders and the team) to tackle a problem you care about. He would always say that when he started investing - "I'm just afraid of being a straight vampire" i.e. an investor who is just leeching off a growing beast.

In a weird way, he's the type of investor, similar to how PG describes great companies - they're kind of like non-profits. They just want to solve problems and it'll work out. That's probably the reason why he's done so well.

Anyway, respect him because he sure as hell respects you.
But it's much harder to write your own OS in 2016, there's a reason nobody else does it.

Think about the "enhancing" crapware most vendors deploy on their Windows machines, then scale it up to the entire OS. Yeah, it would be that bad. We have to give it to Apple for still crafting their OS themselves like it was 1985, and doing a very good job at it.

Why is COW collection "dank"?
It is easy to learn new languages but as the previous commenter mentioned it has it's quirks and when you add in the complexity of working with a group of developers with different beliefs and experience levels it adds up. After a point, you are just dealing with the quirks of the framework/language than the business problem.
The people behind ZCash are definitely not "scammers"; they're respected computer scientists and applied cryptography engineers.
Yes, I touch-type function keys. And having used the X1 Carbon 2nd generation, I hated the "touch-strip" function keys, both because they have no boundaries between keys and because they have no tactile feedback when pressing.

The "context bar" seems like a huge win for people who look at the keyboard (who do comprise a huge fraction of the market), and a huge loss for touch-typists.

That said, I also don't use that many function keys, and I've slowly started remapping the keys I care about to other key combinations. In practice, I care about a few sets of function keys, most notably F11/F12 (commonly used for fullscreen, which I've now remapped to Super-F), and F4 (Alt-F4 to close applications, for which I've now trained my fingers to use Ctrl-W or Ctrl-Q and report bugs on the occasional application that doesn't accept those).
I usually do C-c or A-j/k/... Esc is not that central to vi.
It's annoying as hell. {} is even worse though, shift-alt-8/9 iirc (I've moved to a US layout years ago precisely because of this, and haven't looked back)
So if I understand correctly, this would 'transform' Node into a web framework à la Django? Please correct me if I misunderstood. If that's the case, how Node-Server-Render will compare to Django,Flask and other Python web frameworks?

Performance better on Node? Feedback from the trenches would be appreciated.
If I understand your suggestion, ctrl+c doesn't work in all the contexts where I use escape (modal dialogs, editor autocomplete popups, etc).
The IOCCC (http://www.ioccc.org) is probably one of my favorite rabbit holes, since I program very frequently in C. I once fully explained one of the entries (2006-sykes2) on StackOverflow, which was quite educational for me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15393441/obfuscated-c-cod...

It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but perhaps one of the most memorable is 2004-gavare: http://www.ioccc.org/2004/gavare.c. This little gem implements a fairly sophisticated ray tracer using no C keywords or preprocessor directives at all: no "int", "char", "if", "return", "#define", etc. I learned a great deal about computer graphics (and, yes, C programming) from reverse-engineering that program.
You see 1 million photons per eye per second.

A light buln generates 10^60 photons a second.

Your eyes are ignorant the vast majority of photons, and if your brain in it's current form tried to take on a greater number, such a feat would compromise your entire body from glucose consumption alone.

So, yes, ignorance is responsible for you seeing what you need to see of the universe in order to survive.
Lenovo's version was context-sensitive, at least on Windows as they shipped it; for instance, it would switch to media mode when you opened a media player. (You had to tap through modes on Linux.)

how does someone not know whose car they are driving...
As others have said, that wasn't the situation, but I can give an example. Say your car breaks down. You borrow a car - maybe it is your friends, but it is in their parents, grandparents, or spouse's name. Maybe you know the owners name, maybe you only know the first name - but you don't actually know their name.

how did the pill get out of the bottle and onto to the floor, that too on passengers side. A cop just happened to spot a tiny pill on the floor

It is easy for a pill to get on the floor. I've had those blister packs spill out medicine and dropped pills out of a medicine container. And yes, cops do spot things on the floor - especially when there is high contrast, as is likely with a white or light pill and dark carpeting. It wouldn't actually matter if it is a pill - it could have been a small piece of crumpled paper that looked like a pill.

how did the university find out about it, do they run criminal records of employees on a regular basis?

Some of them do run criminal records. He probably needed time off work, both for court and the probation check-ins. They aren't really keen on working around a work schedule. He might have been required by probation to let them know. He might have been required to tell the school because of other laws as well. He might have missed work because of the jail time. In addition, arrest records aren't private.

Why did the judge even convict this person, just a random pill on car floor is enough to convict someone?

Yes, that is enough - even if you drug test as clean. It is assumed that the inside of your car is something you have responsibility over. Though sometimes folks can wind up getting out of this sort of thing, many don't and many take plea deals instead of going to court. Percieving a lack of options and an overworked public defender can do that.
What opportunities do you think exist for building new platforms one level higher than the established Machine Learning as a Service platforms with their network effects?

By way of analogy, Cloud Foundry is a PaaS that can run on top of any of the established IaaS platforms.
Fleetingly, under the influence of a Martini. I have little love for it, and find Mail.app much more pleasant and efficient (not performance-wise, usability-wise).

Geary looks the part, but doesn't act anywhere as close.
Multiple puzzling decisions -

1) The Esc and the Space keys are the two I most often use without looking - now I have to f*ing look down to hit esc?

2)What about a hard boot? Is the power key now a soft key as well? Non-removable battery and a soft reboot key do not make a good mix

3) Key press and travel distance look to be shallow - not a very satisfying experience

4) Please don't make it any thinner at the expense of ports or battery life

5) The charging port is no longer Magsafe

All in all seems a bit more gimmicky and "change for change's sake" rather than a solid upgrade
Love this, it's the way i would want to learn.

If you like the space bar leader you might want to try spacevim or something like that. (I switched to spacemacs and I love it... Vim is a great style of editing but the plugins are bad and feel broken and half assed. Spacemacs fixes that by combing the best of vim with the best of Emacs. That feels dirty to type but it's true.)
Interesting side note: anesthesiology has the highest substance abuse rate of any medical specialty: over 25% will experience abuse at some point in their career.

from http://www.vice.com/read/the-first-fentanyl-addict

"Roughly 10 to 14 per cent of all physicians will be substance-dependent over their lifetime, and the incidence in anesthesia providers is 2.5 times higher than other physicians, according to a five-year outcome study from 16 physician health programs in the US."

True that they focus on concepts. The thing is, the overview diagram of git concepts on that page (which is in turn taken from the gitless paper) doesn't even mention commits as a separate concept even though they are one of the most important concepts of git (and the ability to quickly juggle commits is crucial to the original git workflow).

That makes me a bit sceptical about whether the authors really thought through all the various use cases of git, i.e. those 5% that the GP comment talks about, and about their conclusions.

I replied on github, but can you confirm that you ran loc with a warm cache? If not, can you elaborate on what hardware you're running on?

I'm going to have to do more digging on the discrepancies later, but I'm not confident the errors are on my end. I'm not 100% sure their not, but cloc definitely isn't perfect either.

Lots of people have trouble separating "butterfly keys" from "shallow keys". The 12" MacBook has both (IMHO, horrendously shallow keys), whereas the new standalone keyboards the butterfly keys but with more travel (and isnt as bad)
I've seen many non-technical users, and even a few programmers, who exclusively use the caps lock for typing upper case letters. It's maddening to watch them type, but you can't argue that it's a widely-used key.
Try mapping kj instead of jj. I use jj and jk often enough (quaternions, don't you know) but kj is a really obscure sequence.
Time to make the top row with Esc and function keys as an external keyboard. If didn't Apple already done that, since they're an accessories company lately.
The lack of memory protection on the Amiga is one of the things which made the operating system so incredibly extensible and hackable.
