In the German Mac keyboard layout, brackets [ ] and curly braces { } need the ALT modifier. “[” is ALT + 5, “]” is ALT + 6. You get used to it. With smart editors, writing “[” automatically creates its counterpart “]”, same for curly braces, so the typing effort is kept within limits.

(I have never used a US keyboard layout. Maybe typing programming symbols could be so much easier and I have never experienced it.)

If that's too big, T430.
I think that the Apple Macbook Pro Magic Toolbar is context aware unlike the Lenovo one where they just replaced tactile keys with equivalent touch based keys (mostly a gimmick with no real functional significance). Just my guess though. We'll know for sure only after the launch.
I've never studied Zen Buddhism, but Thomas Merton's message seems (to me) to be inspired by the Bhagavad Gita. I like a guy who extols the virtues of meditation.

At least on german keyboards which should be the same as on the portuguese ones
Joe will chooses 0.25, Mary picks with 0.125 while Huan goes with whatever is the default.
There will be inconsistency if there is more than one choice available (empty is also a choice). Someone will slip up, it is only inevitable.
Was just about to say this. Whereas 3D Touch/Force Touch/Taptic (why does Apple have to use 3 names for the same thing...) is used a decent amount on the iPhone and Apple Watch, I've never really used Force Touch beyond quickly looking up what a word means on a Mac.
While I'm not a fan either, don't confuse "what I want" with "what users want".
The fact that you haven't had it enabled for years is probably why you can't understand its usefulness. It's just not part of your workflow because its not available. It does in fact provide a lot of value. As an example, entering uppercase alphanumeric codes is annoying without capslock (switching from holding shift for uppercase letters to remembering to let go of shift to enter a number really slows down entry).

I don't understand how key-travel distance has anything to do with secure payments.

Edit: Parent replied to wrong comment it seems.
yes, that link is rather biased, here's one from a little more the other side (http://college.usatoday.com/2016/07/25/the-whole-leslie-jone...), its almost impossible to find anything objective on it, but I followed it at the time and after looking at both sides, it looked most like he called her a hot black guy and fat (http://www.vox.com/2016/7/20/12226070/milo-yiannopoulus-twit...), and then his followers as well as Leslie went overboard with racists and ridiculous comments. Her comments have also been extremely racists in the past (http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/07/20/double-standards-le...) so it just highlighted a double standard.

Anyway, he is a troll and Twitter was in its full right even according to their guidelines to ban both of them. They banned him not her. That's the whole explanation for that short sentence which is why I formulated it the way I did because I didn't want to explain it all to people who might not care too much.
How does your comment have anything to do with key travel?
Presumably, the bar is going to be context aware. So you could set it to display a normal function key setup. You might even be able to customize it yourself, so you could make keys for it.

>Other than the very beginning Doom is devoid of plot (and even then I didn't even know it took place on a moon of mars).

Doom didn't need a story. It wasn't that sort of game.

Doom is a game cut from the the gemstone of cutting edge technology perfect mechanics, sharpened against the edge of brilliant level design, polished to a mirror shine, and embellished by perfect sound and graphical design to match. It was an idea whose time had come, and I say that without irony. It's not about killing demons on Mars, it's about that feeling as you pick up a shotgun for the first time, and stare in awe as you reduce an imp to gibblets for the first time. The philosophy of Doom is summed up best by John Carmack:

"Story in a game is like story in a porn movie: It's expected to be there, but it's not that important."

You can love story-based games, but to judge Doom by those criterion is comically missing the point, as Edge found out to their eternal shame: "If only we could talk to the monsters" indeed.

It's a political thing: if they replaced Caps Lock by Escape by default then emacs users would scream murder. If they replaced it with Control then vim users would probably start looting nearby stores.

And thus, the status quo is maintained.

But seriously, like with almost everything keyboard layout-related it's just there because people are used to it.
What a wonderful article. Bravo.
Hahah! Yes he will. Happy to help.
That's what I'm saying though. I know that other people might want this, but I have a hard time understanding how that could be true. Did anyone really ask for it?

I map it to Control (emacs user vs. vi user probably)

When I mention doing so to non-programmers, people look at my like I'm from another planet.
It looks like there's still a function button in the bottom left corner, so maybe that is used to switch the mode of the 'function strip.'
It's almost guaranteed that there will still be a graphical touch layout that is identical to the old one.

If they removed that it would be absolutely crazy because most people who use MacBooks for productive work require the Function keys.
I mean that's how so many startups work though.

You start with a big grand vision, find fit in a specific niche / market / vertical to solve a specific problem for a specific customer, then generalize it back to more customers and more verticals.
'There is no "better" or "worse".'

This assumes that everyone is a rational actor. Unfortunately, assuming that everyone is effective at allocating resources or time is unsafe and wildly inaccurate. My mother's hours spent cutting coupons rather than finding a job (over years) misvalued the long term impact of having a job and developing a career. My father's allocation of money that we did not have to cigarettes rather than a savings account had extremely negative long term effects.

I grew up around poor people, and I saw their mistakes. I made their mistakes, and I still do. Which isn't to say that all poor people are incapable of making effective financial decisions, just that the distribution is skewed; there are "better" and "worse" valuations of things, and fundamentally people who are worse at making these valuations will on average be poorer.
I just realized that there are still four keys on the bottom left side (next to space).

Until now this used to be: Fn, Ctrl, Option/Alt, Cmd

Since Fn is obsolete now, due to the lack of F-keys, it makes me wonder what the most bottom left key is.

Maybe (hopefully) they moved the Esc there.
hackintoshs are a giant, giant pain in the ass. I've been building hackintoshs since the close to the beginning of that scene (2009 or so) and have built around 5-6 hackintoshs, as recently as 3 months ago.

Great battery life, largely due to MacOS.

Not actually much more expensive than other comparably-high-quality laptops.

That glowing Apple on the back means you won't be personally blamed if something on it fails to work—say, if your wifi decides to cut out every five minutes due to a quirk in a particular hardware pairing, or it doesn't like a certain projector and refuses to work with it, and the meeting at your client's site ends up being more about your broken shit than the client's needs. If your $500 Dell running Arch and covered in penguin stickers does that, you might be personally blamed for it, and/or the quality of your judgment and competence might suddenly be on everyone's mind.
Then you can really do a Windows and release Node 10.
...and STILL has a caps-lock key.
Yes, my intuition tells me employers see the post on HN (or Inc, QZ) and think it's a cheap gamble for highly qualified applicants relative to other outlets.

I haven't put any sort of tracking in place, so they have no way of knowing if anyone will see their job unless people apply and say where they're coming from. Employers often use trackable short urls for this purpose.

I'd imagine they get as good if not better exposure than "who is hiring" because they get promoted to the top of my site and their listing lasts for 45 days, but I don't know.
Also great interviewing skills is a good way to paper over being bad at what you do.

You sure? Once they drive all the channels with actual content out who is going to go on youtube?

I ran with a flip phone for a while. I found the following downsides:

- No built-in mobile hotspot functionality, and no 4G/LTE

- No ability to use messaging systems other than SMS (Google Hangouts, Slack, etc.) except for maybe a few whitelisted ones

- No mobile maps

None of these would have been a dealbreaker 10 years ago, since no phones supported mobile hotspots or 4G or LTE, people either used SMS or some IM system that your phone did support (e.g., AIM - although AIM also had a pretty good SMS bridge, back in the day), and nobody expected you to have maps on your phone. Today all of those expectations are different.

I want it! The butterfly keyboards are fantastic. If you hit a key on a corner, they don't "roll" like keyboards with more travel do. Also, they're thinner and all else being equal will allow for a bigger battery (or maintaining battery size while making the laptop thinner).
Yeah, but I don't fancy a touch button as leader.

Personally, I expect I'll remap caps lock to escape, or an unused meta, and get used to that (it's presently ctrl).
So arrogant! You don't have to be stupid to be religious, you only have to choose to believe. I'm not religious, but I know plenty of highly intelligent people who are devoted one religion or another.

Probably has to do with thinness. I say this without meaning to imply that thinness should override other design goals... personally I care less about it than Apple seems to.

The point he's stuck on is that the versions of 'read', 'eval', and 'print' in Python aren't the same as the ones in Lisp. In Python, you read a string, eval that string into a value, then print that value. The intermediate representation is a string -- just a bunch of characters. In Lisp, you read a data structure, eval that data structure into another data structure, then print out its form -- nested lists and atoms that you can inspect and manipulate, rather than characters that you need to parse to do anything useful with.
By that I mean that we should have moved cleanly beyond that by now with no regrets.

Certainly it comes from my time in the '80s and '90s developing "desktop" software (of course we didn't call it that)on Unix and Windows. There were user interface objects that had behaviour. Once we "got" that HTML and JavaScript could do similar, we make the browser into the new windowing system. But unlike the Windows and Unix desktops of old, which had "official" SDKs and libraries, it was the wild west. Fifteen years later it still is.

If fifteen years ago you had said that one starts a new project by running a command-line script that would clutter your project with hundreds or thousands of tiny source files from sources unknown, we would have laughed at the absurdity.
After trying one of their ultra thin keyboards I can't say I actually mind it. The wide keys feel great to type on, although the shallowness definitely takes some getting used to. I do the majority of my typing on a Das Keyboard Mehcanical Keyboard, so I was quite surprised with how much I enjoyed Apple's thin keys.
If you want to suggest a hackintosh, I can suggest a Windows machine with Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. ;)
HN ranking is a stupid algorithm (not simply "dumb" but demonstrably stupid) Also, for a site that promotes new startups and technologies etc outsourcing censorship to the crowd promotes majority-approved views, which is, once again, stupid, not simply dumb.

A free democracy has a natural way to handle the development of a culture of hate and censorship against a minority. The minority develops its own video sharing sites and its own advertising networks and its own publishing houses. Since we're talking about a free democracy, those new explicitly minority outlets cannot be censored.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Abolitionists, anarchists, communists, pornographers, homosexuals, and others have had to do what conservatives now have to do in the face of a majority culture that chooses to hate and censor them. They'll be fine, maybe even stronger for the experience.

And it has a cool Hacker News perspective. It's certainly good for the startups that will be serving the new market.
What people do want is very thin, light laptops, though.
> If Google is going to censor conservative videos, they should at least let me opt out of the leftist ads. Or any political ads.

You can opt out of ads, entirely, which seems to meet your needs. Of course, it's not free, but opting out of advertising, either entirely or any subset, has a cost to Google, so that makes sense.
I switched to iOS for this reason - the iPhone 5/SE form factor is smaller than every Android currently on the market (and running a relatively recent version of Android).

My SE is 124 mm x 57 mm x 7.6 mm. My previous phone, a Moto E, was 125 mm x 65 mm x 12.3 mm. The Xperia X Compact mentioned in another comment is 129 mm x 65 mm x 9.5 mm.

>ABC Corp tried feature XYZ before Apple and it didn't work so this feature is dumb

While Apple is certainly far from infallible and has made blunders before (sometimes from neglect, once in a while from a fundamental blunder in their understanding of proper target market functionality), what you've written seems to come up like clockwork with nearly every change they make. "Oh, but someone else did the idea before!" I really don't understand why so many tech people in particularly seem to have difficulty grasping that ideas are usually of only marginal value, the real key value any given effort brings to the table is the implementation. There is a world of difference between a mediocre implementation of a decent idea and a stellar one, even if they're 100% the exact same concept. In fact sometimes a great implementation of a mediocre concept can even beat out a crappy one of an amazing concept. Even good intentions and hard work are not enough in software or hardware development.

From a fundamentals perspective I'm honestly pretty surprised by the visceral instant rejection, without having seen anything about the actual implementation, by crowds at HN, Ars, etc. I don't really see how this is fundamentally much different from what I've already got in macOS with my MS Natural Ergo 4000 keyboard and the universal generic USB driver "ControllerMate", which allows me to arbitrarily alter key mappings (including full scripts) for any active application. I don't generally change the main layout of course, but I do have dozens of profiles changing the upper function and special keys to suit the program I'm in, which I find particularly valuable for jumping from GUI apps to Vim and other CLI programs with a different history of thinking about UI behind them.

Apple trying to just making this more available for the average user in a more flashy way may or may not be helpful for a pro, but I also don't see how it would be particularly harmful. What's with all stuff about "no more escape" and the like, what difference does it make if you tap the corner to get escape? As long as inputs are there that show up on the USB HCI what's the issue? On the other hand having a good Touch ID implementation (presumably with the HSM included) available built-in could range from great to fantastic depending on how much custom use we're able to make of it.

Apple's current non-AIO desktops (Mac Mini, Mac Pro) are utter junk and that's really depressing, but they've put more effort into their notebooks while maybe this MBP will disappoint too but I don't think the massive doom mongering in this or the other thread seems justified just yet.
