This is microsoft making a product that designers love.

The behemoth which everyone considered dead is finding ways to make inroads into apple's old stronghold, with design innovations.

Yeah its going to have to deal with Windows, but this is a huge turn for a creature with that kind of momentum to overcome.

With the internal stack re-orgnization (rationalization), and having to build their own reference PCs, and buying their own pen tech, they are doing what a good firm should do - work hard on improving.

They have far to go but theres lots of signs of them moving in the right direction.

Whereas in sharp contrast you have

the Ipad pro which still runs ios, and the touch bar. And lets not forget their moment of courage, where they decided that they will obsolete the entire world of headphones.

The Swiss don't carry firearms. They have a government-issued firearm in their homes and government-issued ammunition. They're required to practice, but they don't carry the firearms around bragging about how many virtual crimes they've stopped by doing so, nor pose for selfies in those fake weekend-warrior poses - they're not "really gung-ho". Comparing the Swiss and the American experience of civilian firearms really only works on the absolutely shallowest level.

Israel has a little more open to civilians carrying weapons, but it's still a lot more restricted than in the US. But fine, have Israel, even though the culture there still doesn't really match up (and there's a strong strain of anti-Israel sentiment in the US anyway). I'll just point out that I said 'tend'.
It seems pointless to me to limit the functionality to an application that requires installation. A webapp would be a better choice.

I just don't care about the Touch Bar. It's fine I guess, I'm not religious about the F keys. But only USB-Cs? No USB-A? Not event MagSafe?? That's the last nail in the coffin for me, I'm afraid. It's supposed to be a Pro machine after all.
Soylent is to food as Theranos is to blood tests. A place the Valley Way has no business in.
People can't help themselves. I don't think we're very close to retiring, it's just not in our social coding.

Today, to live free of work, you need about $500,000. There are groups of people dedicated to achieving this (FIRE / Moustaches). Then you live somewhere cheap, make sound investments, and live off of $25k / yr. In the right places, less than 1/4 of that will go towards rent.

If our primary concern as a society was escaping work, we'd be better at it. Most of our modern economy goes towards making things better, not cheaper (phones, transportation, entertainment, etc.).

We're already at a point where as a society we have the tech to live off of 10 hour work weeks. But we'd have to focus our economy on making a low standard of living cheap, instead of focusing it on raising the standard of living.
They have been pretty vocal about MFC at a few BUILD events during Q&A.

It is in maintenance mode, only bug fixes are planned or little improvements like they did on VS 2015.

I haven't had trouble with rinsing out the Nalgene so far. I'm pretty fastidious with my gear, so everything gets cleaned thoroughly shortly after I get home, which helps. Otherwise, while I'm out, if there's a water source nearby I just rinse with that (not dumping the leftovers into the water obviously), if there isn't, I'll pour about half a cup of my supply into the Nalgene and rinse, shake, and scrub thoroughly with my hands.

The older powder was a bit tougher to clean (but not difficult), the newer one is easier.

Mountain House probably got better since I last tried their stuff, but it still requires stopping, cooking, cleanup. I've got an MSR Windburner and I love it for what it is, but if I just want to put down a lot of miles for a quick trip the Soylent is king. I'm >this< close to being able to do a Summer overnight with my 12L BD Bbee.

...of course, developing some serious intestinal discomfort 18 miles from the car would suck, so there's that.

Sid Meier gave a talk at the GDC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtzCLd93SyU

In it he explained how Civilization tested random negative events that could shape your world. He mentioned how this had a negative effect on the player experience and many times people would just grab a past save to avoid them IIRC.
We had a random memory corruption problem recently, so we started storing every allocation without releasing, to verify periodically. We do free up old memory, but only every 10 million allocations or so.

Maybe it's not super common for games programming, but it's definitely common to not use ref counted pointers or anything that could help you here.
Hmm, any American would immediately understand that "situation" meant "problem" in this context. To Americans, that is direct. It's not a fluff word avoiding saying "problem", it means "problem".

> I love how none of these charts use 0 as a base for the y-axis. Lies, damned lies, statistics...

Articles written for an informed audience don't need to dumb down their charts by starting at zero. The authors assume the readers have eyes and can see where the charts begin and end.

For the specific article in question, the lowest value on the chart is 1.450, and dropping the axis down to zero would not add any useful information; it would just add whitespace. It's a chart with linear axes that is sized to capture the entire range of data. There is no trickery there.

"The principle of independent judgments (and decorrelated errors) has immediate applications for the conduct of meetings, an activity in which executives in organizations spend a great deal of their working days. A simple rule can help: before an issue is discussed, all members of the committee should be asked to write a very brief summary of their position. This procedure makes good use of the value of the diversity of knowledge and opinion in the group. The standard practice of open discussion gives too much weight to the opinions of those who speak early and assertively, causing others to line up behind them."

(Following this advice is rare; I think it's bold to say that Kahneman's research has already changed meetings.)

You have it exactly backwards.

Anyone suggesting Soylent is safe with arguments like "glucose is glucose" and "it has the right macronutrient ratios" is spouting pseudo-science.

If you have insufficient evidence that something is safe and a strong anecdote suggesting otherwise the logical option is to abstain.

Attempting to bring science into the decision making process when the science has not been done is pseudo-science!
Well summed up. Somehow though, the GPL won in the end.
I'm honored that you dug into it.

I'm working on decentralization, which I think is a very socially important goal. The cloud is not my ultimate objective, but it's one of the very few short term use cases I see where a decentralized system seems to have the potential to utterly dominate a centralized one.

Decentralized tech is very new. It's very hopium, and it's very poorly understood, both by zealots and by non-believers. I think that decentralization is going to change a lot of things in fundamental ways, and I think I can move the field forward faster by building a tangible, provably working, provably superior use case for decentralized tech.

Cloud storage is not as glamorous as starting a new world order, but the most important engineering is often the most mundane. People probably felt similarly about the Internet back before the world wide web was invented.
You don't even need the desktop 980 to compete with the laptop 980M. The 1060 beats it with a significant gap.
Soylent has nine grams of sugar per serving. It is sugary junk.
> Unfortunately for us, this power user unix workstation stuff is just a historical accident for Apple, not a corporate objective.

Many that went Apple when they showed OS X to the world, never really understood Apple, or for that matter, NeXT culture.

The POSIX layer never mattered, what mattered were the Objective-C frameworks on top and a workflow based on Xerox PARC ideas, that Steve Jobs brought to Apple and NeXT.

The UNIX compatibility was there, because NeXT was competing against Sun and Irix workstations, so it needed to be compatible to a certain extent.

Later Apple trying to promote the same compatibility because after the Copland failure, they needed to sell computers or close shop, so the UNIX with nice GUI was a way of doing it.

For those of us that develop native applications, it never really mattered.
How about a Macbook Pro model from earlier this year or last year? They're great machines.
His hypothesis (and he is a smart guy) is that science will allow people to live longer, but probably not much longer than 125.

Not exactly! I just finished the same book and the exact quote is: I doubt we will ever find a way of living much beyond 120 by merely fine-tuning our physiology.

So he's a smart guy indeed! He says that there still may be ways to extend lifespan, but they have to be more radical compared to just fine-tuning physiology.
Nope. USB-C and traditional headphone jack only.
I like that, lots of good Python tutorials. A quick skim of Django docs looks pretty solid, so that seems a pretty good option, and keeps him close to what he already knows.

That with Foundation is probably more than enough until he's ready to make fancy single page apps and learn Angular!

A parent telling their child they had a shitty performance is not supportive or positive.

A negative attitude coming from the parent can really upset the child and they won't learn anything from it.

As a coach I can't tell a parent what to say to their kid at home after they have a poor performance but I usually advise them to try cheer their kid up not cut them down.

It is my role as coach to provide the objective criticism not the parent's. It matters where the criticism comes from.

This is a part of the problem with the original article. Parents are too emotionally involved to teach their kids. They think their kid is special and then they constantly compare them against other kids and then they put the parental pressure on to the child. It isn't helping.

It's a gimmick because this is already possible, even without yet another piece of glass to pay for and repair and that comes at the cost of physical keys It looks flashy and futuristic and cool, but it adds no value that could not be gained elsewhere, cheaper, with greater utility.

I'm also not only talking about vim here. Nearly any PC game in the past two decades or more allows key rebinding. Many even allow macros. Most GUI IDEs offer the same. This isn't new.

Lastly, you seem to want to characterize me as "pissing and moaning". Personal attacks won't get you anywhere with me.
You are clearly not French or have you lived there. A great meal should absolutely be one of the highlights of a day. Food can be (and should be) the catalyst of great conversations, great ideas or even meditative self-reflection.

Soylent seems to me to be a hipster Ultra Slim Fast and consumed for the exact same reasons legions of working women have that stuff in office refrigerators.

I can respect that people have different priorities than a great meal each day, but I can also pity them.
If I need to look at it the whole day, I find glossy hurts my eyes more. If it is about having something pretty as a status symbol, then yeah glossy makes sense.

The opposing argument to that is that if someone takes a market position and then writes an article, they're accused of trying to make a quick buck by swaying the market. So, between you and those who are concerned about the desire to manipulate public dialog for personal gain, there's an unattainable standard.
> Somehow this seems like an American thing or maybe people in other places make less of a spectacle of it?

I think there is more acceptance in certain cultures, for example, to skip lunch because it's a busy day. Having worked globally and in multiple industries, I don't believe it's an American only thing although probably more common there. I see it as more of an industry thing, and each industry seems to have it's own use case for a product like Soylent. i.e. the programmer 'in the zone' and not wanting to stop for dinner or the investment banker running on a few hours of sleep due to an upcoming pitch.

> Always having too little time, always working and being proud to plan every minute of every day

I'm not sure how that was implied, but that does not represent the typical American workforce in my view.

> entrepreneurs in Asia/Aus/EU they seem to be always eating elaborately

I would be surprised to hear these types of individuals don't deal with skipped meals or lack of time based on what's going on in there life/work like their counterparts in other countries do.
Spent the winter in Israel a couple of years ago. The old city in Jerusalem is awe inspiring.

As for the Holy Sepulchre, as a non-Christian I found it pretty surreal. Clearly for the faithful it's a big deal, saw people outright crying coming out of the Sepulchre.

The church itself is beautiful, powerful artwork from all of the sects (Ethiopian included). Particularly the fresco at the entrance, Christ being laid to rest, the disciples in tears, pretty moving piece.

Unfortunately my experience was darkened by a group of troublemaker teenagers; saw them shove an old woman deep in prayer, just appalling. On leaving they followed me and one of them spit in my hair. When I turned around the kid said, "only water, only water".

Needless to say Jerusalem's a complex mix of cultures, history, and religions.
> So democracy is only OK so long as you get the "right" result? And UK should be forced to remain in a union despite their will?

I want to agree with you but I can't because I want a new referendum for Scotland well as for alternate voting. Opponents will use the (fiercely neck and neck) results to show that the discussion on this topic is over and I vehemently disagree. If you see it as my rejecting people's will, so be it. Nothing: not will of the majority, not rule of law, nothing is absolute. Everything is up for negotiation.
> Options are a cop out. It’s the designer’s job to figure out the best way to use the product, and delegating that choice to the user is pure laziness. Hive only resorts to options as a last resort.

I think if you are building a simple tool to solve a simple problem, this makes sense.

On the other hand, I think this gets abused in the other direction: by designers using this as an excuse to not think about flexibility, or engage in humility. It's like the misuse of premature optimsation, but for designers.

For example, I think it's instructive that almost[1] none of the popular pro tools in any industry follow this guideline. Those tools are not for easing users in, they are for getting shit done: they understand that the idea that some UX designer can come along and tell the entire photography world how to process raw files, or tell developers how to build software in N different languages, or what a film editor's process should be for making movies etc, is utter druff.

This is why, as I understand it, the film industry reacted to strongly and negatively to Final Cut X: Apple were saying "we don't care what your current process is, you must now edit films this way, in this order, using this process, because we know better".

[1] I wanted to just say "none" here, but I obviously haven't used all pro tools
How can you eat 5,000 kcal a day and not be a huge fat pig? How many miles a day do you need to run to burn that off?

On the days when I lift weights I eat close to 5K calories, sometimes even a little more, depending on the commute. All of my daily commute is by bike, including taking my kid to and from the kindergarten, and later to some extra activities (welcome to Denmark), which can be anywhere between 20 and 35 km total for the day.

I'm 178 cm and weigh around 79 kg.

> Interestingly there seems to be a loophole in that they can collect the data regardless of consent, but can't use or share it without consent. So chances are this sensitive data will be recorded and put in a database anyway, even if they're not lawfully allowed to look at it without anonymizing first - but a future law could also add an exception, keeping things for law enforcement for instance.

I'm not all that worried about law enforcement. I think it is much more likely that the database will be hacked and the data will just get shared that way.

The only way to protect private data is to prevent the ISPs from collecting it in the first place. Otherwise, everyone knows the ISP has the data whether they share it or not, it's a big juicy target, and it's probably not that difficult to get to.

This, not so much. The only ethical thing for people in a position to sway the markets like this is for those people to have their wealth in a blind trust. You wouldn't want the most popular "financial guru" shorting a stock and then telling everyone it's going to tank.
Why hack a blood service system at first place? Oh my. Not that people should hack anything, but this is extra nasty.
Not quite. It's not that there must be a law for everything, it's that there are laws for many things, and often for good reasons. It's not that we always need to regulate new things because new means risky. It's that many new things are actually old things in new guises, and we already know (or should know) what to be concerned about.
