Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
> - Bezel size

> - Weight

> - Thickness

> - Fastest possible processor

I'm calling shenanigans on these. Lots of people talk about not caring about these things but in my experience absolutely everyone appreciates larger screens, thinner and lighter devices and more capable processors.
That's a problem for your text-editor. Use search and replace.

Also, if you're using something like React, you can share the style strings in variables.

I pissed off a CS teaching in high school doing that.
That was super frustrating, I went back a few times to see if he said it and he did not. I was just waiting for him to tell me for the rest of the video and it never happened.
So much complaining about something that we didn't even yet seen in action. Guys from Apple are not that stupid to remove f1-12 keys and put something completely useless and UX unfriendly, give them a chance of showing it first and then complain.
And all the other talk about ports, magsafe and other stuff that are just guesses, why do you complain about something that is not even confirmed?
Both haptic feedback and pressure sensitivity are within Apple's capabilities. This could actually be an improvement (imagine feeling a virtual volume slider scroll with dampened resistance).

Since no one mentioned it before; you might want to give the Fairphone 2 a try. Granted; it's not exactly inexpensive. But at least it's a premium paid for social and environmental benefits. It's built to last, to be repaired and does all you'd expect from a phone.

The Surface Hub is the successor to Perceptive Pixel [0] which has some very smart people working on what makes multitouch work. Hardware-wise it's a capacitive screen vs. almost all other big touchable screens that use other technologies that are inferior.

It will do nothing to address your concerns about the absence of body language, gaze direction, facial expressions, etc. It's a trade-off, you give up some of the bandwidth of meeting face-to-face for the benefit of including people not physically present (or expense of bringing remote people local). The technology used to bring in remote people can also add value by capturing/saving work more automatically and seamlessly than, say, someone stepping back and snapping a photo of a whiteboard.

Some of the bandwidth loss can be compensated for by examining your processes, identifying what you value, and formalizing the valued communication in another form. Often the other form is saying things out loud; instead of looking for head nods, you ask people to say "yes" or "no." The technology can aid in this by providing other channels like up and down votes or "question" votes in place of confused looks (that are all to easy to overlook when you're in person anyway).

I think I'm a little confused by what you are asking - are you wanting to run a consul server and agent on the same instance? You can do that and specify an ID appropriate to the consul service type for multi-tenancy situations of master nodes and client nodes. But that would be up to you given your deployment environments.

Are you wanting to have a single consul service running for the whole environment (as client and server)? If you're running an HA environment you should really have dedicated master nodes and non-voting clients for service discovery on instances. The member states of consul clusters have an IP and ID, are you saying that the IP could be mixed with a different ID (it could in the cloud, but upon connecting to the leader it would update its registered information).

Are you talking about cleaning up old instances registered in the cluster? Or that there could be a single master node which has a broken network connection to the other master nodes, so sees different cluster status information? In that case, you should be monitoring all your services. Always. There are a lot of tools out there which will clean up and correct voting clusters in those situations. We use Sensu and Kubernetes checks / services for a lot of monitoring and automatic reaction to changes in cluster health.
Well, that covers one of the 14 keys on that row, 2 if you also count the other end. I don't see any possible solution for the other 12.

I'm a big believer in privacy, but anonymity scares me. Anonymity invites bad behavior: look at how bitcoin -- which isn't even all that anonymous -- has enabled the ransomware industry.

I agree that it is very important for people to be able to conduct financial transactions without having to disclose them to third parties. It's also important for people to be able to use a mutually-agreed-upon trusted third party to mediate transactions where neither party knows the other's identity. But I'm much less convinced of the wisdom of enabling people to conduct financial transactions with no possibility of knowing who they are doing business with. That seems to me to be fraught with all manner of moral hazard.

So, who's going to be first with an after-market "bumpy" "screensaver" appliqué for this, to simulate at least to some degree a "key texture"?

Alternatively, will/could it (at some point) have localized haptic feedback?

P.S. I'd like to see some "edge-on" photographs that show whether and to what extent the relative exposure/relief of the top row of keys and the bar cause the bar to "hide behind" the higher relief of the keys, making it more difficult to touch without triggering one of those keys, particularly for a touch-typist or someone hitting the bar frequently.

I'd actually need to be convinced that the problem with carry-on space is people traveling on their own dime. Walking past the ticket counters in a typical airport, I see lots of luggage being checked by people who definitely aren't business travelers.

For business travelers, it's not about the money. Most of us get free checked bags because of airline status anyway. It's about time. I just wish not everyone, however able-bodied, felt compelled to use the rigid roller bags that take up so much room even for a 1 night trip.
"The paintings made between 1430 and 1500 are still unsurpassed," for example, is completely ridiculous

Somewhat offtopic, but we can talk about it anyway, since we are talking about art. (and let's extend the range beyond 1500 a little).

It is true, for example, that Raphael's colors, while beautiful, are surpassed by the incredible range we have today. And certainly, photoshop and modern art gives artists more options in composition, conception, and execution than ever before. However, in terms of raw skill, I don't think anyone surpasses Michaelangelo. Certainly not anyone today (although Rodin and Monet come close).
so if there is an API for applications to modify this magic toolbar, does it mean that while the application with the custom toolbar is running I can't change screen brightness or mute the sound etc? hopefully there is some shortcut that forces the magic toolbar to 'alt-tab' to the 'system defaults' view...
Somehow I find myself unable to get riled up about employee compensation being too high.
I said in another comment that I'm looking at an XC. Z3C is older than I want to go, and the common opinion about the Z5C seems to be that it was 2 steps forward and 1.5 backward. I'm encouraged by a lot of the community's work on Sony phones, and how Sony seems to embrace unlockable bootloaders. It gives me hope that I could provide support for my phone even after Sony abandons it.

I am sorry, but what? What is your source? From a new account[1] with only 3 comments overwhelmingly favoring yarn over npm it's difficult to trust this as it just seems like SPAM. I have been developing in Node over 3 years and trying new things constantly and no, I'm not really excited about yarn. Nor many Node developers I know.

Some developers. Neither Emacs nor Vim use the function keys to any significant extent. Relatively rarely-used stuff like screen brightness and volume control seem like the obvious things to put on a multi-function OLED bar.

Great. And in a month or two, then it should be added.

But as a hint, in an area which isn't exactly new - manufacturers have been releasing new cars for a century, some faster than others, have been releasing press releases ever since, too, especially for supercars/ etc., on a list that has been updated for years (and this is one of my first edits on the topic, so I'm hardly claiming ownership)...

the fact that you have to add another column that completely defies the "real world" measurements of every other vehicle there in order to get their fandom vehicle in should be indicative that it was a stretch.

Here's an example:

"List of fastest 100m races" lists the top 20 verified 100m times in history.

Along comes an athlete's team and they release a press release saying "Based on our simulations, we predict he will run 9.45s in this race in a few months time" and, rather than do nothing with it, editors fall over each other to add a new column to the list, so it now has "verified times", "independent times", and "team projected times" and based on that states that Athlete is now the third fastest 100m runner in the world.

Instead of, as you say, waiting for that event to verify (or prove false) that claim.

But yet, to witness sibling posts, my perspective is "wrong".
Depends on what you count as real work.

You populate redux with all the data your app needs (if you're using setState to store state fetched from APIs on components, stop). Then you simply render your app in one go.

Old title: clear what kind of company was pushing supersonic air travel, but unclear which company in particular was doing it.

Proposed title change: clear which company was pushing supersonic air travel, but unclear what kind of company it is.

Actual title change: unclear that a company is involved at all. What is "Boom"? Do they just mean that a general economic boom is going to bring supersonic air travel back?
How would it decide? What does the server-side version do since it won't have access to the req or res objects at this level of the code? If the /api/user/:id route is restricted based on the cookies that get sent, how/where do you validate that the user is allowed to get data from that route when rendering server-side?
Fair enough. My main point was that being able to look at a person while talking to them, even slightly off due to the constraint you mention, makes a big difference and is already a huge step in the "future".

Wow. They're basically identical. Scala has a bit less boilerplate sometimes, but it's also older, so I guess Swift will get syntactical sugar to catch up in time.
That depends a great deal on what you want to do with your life.

Michael Chrichton, author of Jurassic Park, attended medical school but always wanted to be a writer. IIRC, he went to medical school at the behest of his family who had no faith that he could make it as a writer. His medical training helped make his writing especially good because he writes very plausible stuff, instead of hand wavy "Uh, radiation explains away my plot hole!"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton

So, what do want to do with your life? Why did you want to go to medical school? Was it family pressure? Were you after social status and a big paycheck? Or do you really want to be involved in making people healthier?

Have an honest heart-to-heart with yourself and base your next move on those answers. If you really wamt to go into medicine, nursing is an option. If you really wanted prestige and money, then maybe law is a good alternative.

The right answer here depends on a lot of factors you did not detail in your question.

Artificial Intelligence Nanodegree
Again, my point was that even if every exchange, in and of itself, is mutually beneficial, the overall society can still be unpleasant. But it should also be noted that mutually beneficial exchanges do not prevent negative results even directly, but merely improve the outcomes for those who are agreeing to the transaction; two parties can agree to an exchange that leaves them both better off than they were before, but harms a third party. Which doesn't even bring up that these exchanges are based on perceived benefit...
That's a great example of a mutually beneficial but morally repugnant trade, but markets generally don't coerce people in this sense. Markets more often reach the fairest possible solution given an initially unfair situation (say, where one side has a gun and the other doesn't), and the fairness or unfairness of the whole thing depends on how property rights were initially allocated.
I'm with you on this one.

Check my demo using Redux: I populate the "initialState" on the server side [1] before React comes into the picture, and then populate it again on the client side [2], then client-side Redux can do its own thing.

Some explanation at [3] although that writeup (and this demo code) needs updating.

Not looking for a challenge, it's more like python is often too slow, and it spoiled me, I find every other language too verbose and missing expressiveness. I've started looking at Haskel as the possible solution here.
Even 'just the facts' Is broken because one cannot tell if all facts were given or if only certain facts were given designed to create some view. For example, given two studies that find opposing results, I can then list all the criticisms of the study I don't like while listing only the least significant criticisms of the study I do like. As long as I don't claim to have listed all criticisms, I have given 'just the facts' and yet made an quite biased article.
I've had Macbooks for about a decade, and I'm excited about these changes. The OLED bar is kind of gimmicky, but OS X apps (unlike Windows ones), don't really use the function keys much. The MB keyboard is good--what it lacks in key travel it more than makes up for in key stability. Also, good riddance to Magsafe. The worst part of the Macbook experience is Apple's incredibly fragile and shitty chargers/cables. Being able to use off-the-shelf braided USB-C cables is going to be awesome.
I do like having an accurate mouse for drawing diagrams and web browsing (and a lot of other things).

There are multiple ways to start a company. Many originated as simply solutions to problems the founders had, oftentimes worked on as a side project. Also, a pretty effective way to find something people want to buy is to solve a common problem, and charge money for the solution.

Last time I messed with Swift, I was using a vim plugin based on SourceKitten[1] but it was a couple months ago over a weekend and I honestly can't remember how well it worked. If you were inclined, it seems like it'd get you most of the way to a language server.

Okay, let's say I put the actual fetch() inside a redux "action creator" how am I fetching that data server-side? How does some arbitrary route know that a nested component needs to fetch() and then populate your store before rendering? And remember, the fetch() in the "action creator" is still trying to hit a relative route.
Ask HN: What are examples of open source projects with excellent tests?
One of my biggest shortcomings as a developer is not knowing how to test my code well. I suspect I am not alone.
Well according to [1] crew of the Concord would get 50-150mSv/yr. US regulation is that a radiation worker can get 50mSv/yr and EU is 20mSv/yr. So this is clearly not acceptable.

Your intuition about carbon-fiber is correct.

What I would guess they are doing though is a layered system, as it is hard to make up the difference with just dopants. Other materials are good too, like Kevlar [2]. So you layer these materials together and get better overall protection. Lots of research being done for this right now actually. NASA has some SBIR phase II funding for low weight, structural radiation shields. Though on Earth you can get away with a lot more than you could in space (launch weight).

What do you think about Cryptonote projects? Such as Monero, Boolberry, a variety of other similar networks

Some advantages Cryptonote has that come to mind:

- They are private by default. Zcash requires two states, a state analogous to bitcoin, and the anonymous zcash state which has to be explicitely opted into. Shadowcash also has this, but opted for ring signatures for the anonymous state (like cryptonote coins use by default) instead of the zkSNARKs. The market hasn't focused much attention on Shadowcash.

- Cryptonote projects have proof of work algorithms that are durable and so far ASIC-proof. Cryptonite, Wild Keccak still are CPU and GPU friendly. But I'd have to read their respective papers before I say "ASIC Proof because memory hard"

- 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.

- Cryptonote projects have nonthreatening names. Many privacy centric projects have names like Dark- Shadow- Anon- whereas noteworthy cryptonote projects have names that at worst simply wouldn't be taken seriously by a "powerful establishment" until so much capital and infrastructure is already built. I think ZCash or "Zerocash" isn't going to get smiles and congratulations from FinCEN. Hyperbole, but I don't think it is an advantage for the project.

Its one thing to be optimistic about the founders and their company, but for you to say "long" something that doesn't seem like a better investment, makes me wonder what you see in comparison to some other existing technologies.

WW3 THE WAY ITS GOING AN IMMACULTE CONCEPTION HAS HAPPENED MAYBE
CNTK user & contributor here. CNTK overall has very low framework overhead and has tensors with dynamic axes as first-level citizens. This means that sequences can be expressed without needing to do padding, sorting of the input data, or any other workarounds, and can be packed automatically by the toolkit in an optimal way. In particular, while it is laying out the rectangular structure it uses to traverse multiple RNNs of a minibatch in parallel, it fits shorter sequences into the holes and can reset the RNN state for these sequences while it is traversing this structure. This makes CNTK especially suitable for expressing RNN models (for CNNs many of the calls are just forwarded to CuDNN, so the difference might be much lower).

As for distribution, a) it has an extremely simple way to run data parallelism (for CNTK 1 it was just using MPI and starting the worker with a few extra options. I think CNTK 2 will add this in a week or so to the Python bindings), b) it has 1-bit SGD and more recently BlockMomentum, which are just dead simple methods to use for distributing the gradients, and they just work. All of these are open source (though 1-Bit SGD and BlockMomentum are patented).
