Effectively, everybody in a Civ game is a slave. All of your units do exactly what you tell them to do, all the time. All of your workers in your cities work exactly where you tell them to, and build exactly what you want. It's a Soviet central planner's wet dream.

Colonization also had some mechanics that were sort of a wink-wink, nudge-nudge towards slavery. There was a convict class of settlers, and there were also "converted" natives that you could acquire. If you had missionaries in their settlements, once in a while some religious converts would come over freely. Or you could attack their settlements, which generated lots of "converts"
Well, the Slashdot article gets it right:

Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device

I like the TouchBar. I really like the Security Enclave. I'm good with losing most of the ports. But they shoulda kept a standard USB port.

So this will push my upgrade back not forward.

So who's gonna be working on Sublime/Atom/Vim/Emacs integration on this. Shit, imagine all the things one can do with that bar (multi-touch, slidable, swippable).
That requires that I buy a display that works like that, and still limits the subsets of that setup I can use. Which comes up for me a shocking amount these days :/

In particular it's nice when my computer is useful without a bunch of extra crap plugged in, and mostly progressively enhanced by new attachments.

I can do light photo work on site with a 2009 MBP and no peripherals at all.
How come? That seems like a totally unrelated access right to repurpose for this?
> Im not some elitist 'iOS' developer

...huh? If you develop for iOS, you're an iOS developer. Where does elitism come in?

As for the computer, I wasn't complaining that you didn't call it a "desktop", I was trying to point out that the computer is called an iMac, not an Imac. Do you also call your iOS device an Iphone? And do you call Xcode xCode? These kinds of careless mis-capitalizations are a strong sign that you don't actually do much with the platform. And if you're not a serious iOS developer, then why are you trying to argue that the new computer isn't good for iOS developers?
The choice is to live healthy life until 75 and pay the price of death at 75.

Macbook pro (2014) and a windows desktop.

3 screens.

usually connect 2 screens to my macbook (hdmi & display port) along with my k70 keyboard and my g600 mouse.

Im mainly good, I keep my F keys when im at my desk, only when im mobile and about they go and never done any heavy lifting through that way.

I don't understand how people are treating this as if im the grim reaper taking a swing at the macbook pro 2016.

It's just many different annoying things that I don't see the positive side to losing, can someone point to the positive side?
Thanks, we've updated the title from “Design Principles to Make Great Software”.
I'll add basically anything they can call in any way. That is (a) directly because it's currently in kernel, (b) loaded through some command they shouldn't be able to access, or even (c) some abnormal mode of operation they cause that has more kernel code running than usual. I'll supplant (c) with running obscure, kernel functions that get less attention in security review than the main ones. Quite a few, major vulnerabilities come from those parts people forget about or only used in weird contexts.

Sorry.
Agree. I've done several of these, for example I worked as a contractor at an investment bank where the team I was on developed the Apache Qpid message broker. This was full-time work on an ASF project, and how I got my first commit bit in an open source project. Currently, the company I work for produced an open source project that they donated to the ASF as an Apache project, which I work on full time, as well as contributing to various other open source projects we use as dependencies or are part of the ecosystem. I ended up founding another open source project inside the company, that has now become part of our project line. To make a living developing open source software, this is probably the best/easiest way, and is certainly incredibly rewarding.
Are you suggesting these people work for Whatsapp?

You could make the news with that kind of info.
Now you have to carry dozens of dongles, but the objective is long-term. I almost never need VGA/DisplayPort/etc for instance because it was standardized to HDMI (and now to USB-C). What port does that non-bluetooth mouse use? USB, right? Well before you'd have to check, because it could be using a PS2 as the keyboard. But now you know for sure they use USB if they use any port, which is a good thing. I remember my older cousin complaining about me having a USB mouse when I should have a PS/2 back in the day.

Forgot your phone/laptop charger? You can borrow mine as it will be the same USB-C. Yes, now it's painful, but in ~10 years it will be glorious. However, the problems of the switch are happening now while the benefits will come unannounced, which is a pity.
It subclasses the typical Foundation/AppKit classes, so I don't think that is the case.

> It seems like it would make a lot of sense to de-emphasize Quantum/firefox/everything mozilla is wasting their time and money on that isn't Servo.

Here's how I think of it: What's the biggest risk to Servo? I think most people would answer that (besides it being a lot of work), as it's a big boil-the-ocean project, there's a lot of newly-written code that hasn't been battle-tested yet. How do we fix that? By getting early user adoption on pieces when they're ready, so we can shake out the issues. Quantum is the perfect way to do that.

Of course, I happen to care about Firefox's success too, so getting great features to Firefox users as soon as possible is also a big win from Quantum. :)
The lack of HDMI will be worse.

I can count on there being an HDMI cable that works being within reach. I may have to yank one from a functioning display somewhere, but it is available IMMEDIATELY.

That is not the case for Thunderbolt. Even IF something has a port, I can't guarantee the presence of a cable.

So, I'm stuck with a Thunderbolt to HDMI dongle. And if that goes missing, I can't talk to a display.

(But "Airplay" I hear you cry. I have tried to use Airplay at presentations almost a dozen times. Only ONCE did it actually work. The other times I had to plug in to HDMI.)

I could have got over the ports loss -- or even turned it into a net positive by finally buying a dock (I literally use all ports on my 2012 mbpr).

... but I'm not going through the pain just to "enjoy" a machine that is only marginally faster than what I already have (which still works perfectly fine), with a paltry 16gb of ram and a crappy gpu, and spending almost twice what direct competitors would charge for better hardware without the ports hassle.

Ideally you never introduce it. Alternatively, you never let it get to the point where getting it down is essentially a no-op.

>> Mozilla has said nothing about starting again on solid foundations.

> 1. What do you think Servo is?

A research project in a Mozilla lab that is not fully embraced yet. Parts of it may, slowly, end up in Firefox. How does this improve matters or introduce solid foundations? I have yet to see a concrete commitment from Mozilla that Servo will be fully utilized in Firefox. Even the linked article demonstrates the opposite. Even so, let us assume that Firefox uses Servo. We're still in security hell due to SM.

> 2. Who else is talking about "starting again on solid foundations"?

In practice, Microsoft did tremendous work with Edge.

Chrome is not perfect, but is as close to perfect as you can get while still using rotten tools (C++).

There is a shift inside Apple too. We will see how it manifests.
Manufacturing costs -- it's cheaper to not include a DIMM than to include one, so why would they?

Also, this way, you have to buy another whole computer in five years when 16 GB is no longer enough.

Civ is really a turn-based grand-strategy combined with rpg-esque Skinner-box elements. I enjoy it when I play, but I don't pretend it's deep. Games like that are all about "yay, I unlocked a new goodie!" and "numbers must go up so I can make more numbers go up" more than deep planning.
Yep - am using one right now and have had no issues. To be honest this is my third battery - the second one I got from Apple only last about 2 years and ended up swelling up to the point the track pad no longer "clicked". Have been with the one from OWC for almost 2 years now and no issues.

Not quite accurate. Civilization 4 has a Slavery civic, which allows you to work your own population to death for faster production.
>Do not show alerts in the Touch Bar, and do not use the Touch Bar for widgets.

It's interesting, then, that they explicitly showed the Touch Bar being used for alerts in the design video (when the user received a FaceTime call).

The FCC confirmed that yes, regardless of consent, the ISP can collect 'sensitive' information if it is anonymized/de-identified before use or sharing. The ISP does need to make it clear to the user what information is being collected, but there's no way at present to prevent them from collecting it at all. They're also barred from attempting to de-anonymize the data, though a third party probably could.

Of course, in the same sense that most people condemned to die (or merely to go to prison) are also there against their will.
It's cheaper not to include a screen but they still include it. Because users want it. So they can include the dimm slot too.
So, does it charge faster if you plug in multiple chargers?
You can't be good at many things, mostly because people who spend all their time doing one thing will outdo you; so at best you'll be mediocre at many things. At worst, you'll think you're good at all those things.

I've used a few usb ethernet adapters over the years, and the most reliable and performant one in my experience is the StarTech USB31000S which is based on the ASIX AX88179.

It's been around for a few years so the driver for it is included in all recent linux distros, and you can download surprisingly up-to-date and maintained drivers for OS X and windows from the chip manufacturer's website: http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=1...

I use it mostly with OS X. I've actually bought about 5 of them, because some coworkers had problems that turned out to be caused by flaky usb ethernet adapters, and it was well worth my debugging time to get them better (but still cheap!) hardware.

Life extension industry is too early. It is much more productive to work on other problems (e.g. solving more immediate problems and do scientific research to help solving these immediate problems).

Then later, when technology is robust enough - meaningfully invest into actual anti-aging efforts.

Unfortunately the time for meaningful anti-aging research may come in ~100 years when we all would be already long dead.
One thing I find annoying is in a lot of their promo images and images I've seen from various first looks, the escape key isn't at the very edge of the touch pad. Why couldn't they have just made a flush key on the left like they did with the TouchID sensor on the right? Now you have to hope that clicking the escape key without looking works, unless there's ways around it.

Thankfully I don't have any plans or any need to upgrade my laptop anytime soon, but I will miss the SD card slot and the HDMI output slot if I end up upgrading to a new MacBook Pro in the future. Was it really that much space to keep the SD card? It's thinner than the headphone jack and the headphone jack is still there.

I'll also be a little curious how the teardown looks. The MacBook uses up barely any space inside of the chassis for motherboard (barely larger than a phone motherboard), and I'm curious how much space the MacBook Pro uses...
Thanks very much. I was on a phone so I couldn't look this up as much as I liked. Much appreciated
Yup! Everything is rationed so far, except maybe for air.

But the point is, you're going from implicit rationing (you can have whatever you can afford) to explicit rationing (we can only do X MRIs per week and it'll take 37 weeks until it's your turn). There are a lot of folks who don't like that idea, and I can see why.

A lot of proponents of single-payer completely play this down and pooh-pooh folks who bring up that point by saying "oh it'll never be like soviet medicine where only well connected people get better" but don't explain at all how our government will be 100% guaranteed not to do that. And if you can't lay out how that'll happen in blindingly obvious detail and personally promise them that we'll start executing people if it goes badly, well, there are a lot of folks who aren't terribly trusting. And they're not necessarily wrong.
A complementary analysis:

A company-company contract is actually a much simpler, self-defined, and symmetric relationship. Whereas an employer-employee contract must take into account the huge lump of complexity that is employment law. The company doesn't really like employment law, so they make every attempt to nullify it, paralleling its complexity.

EULA drafters are similarly trying to create a whole new body of law, bootstrapping it using copyright while eroding any consumer rights granted by copyright. Companies would prefer a much simpler EULA that said "we can revoke your license at any time for no reason, with no refund". But such a thing would be rejected by courts. So they attempt to construct such a policy by following the contour of the law (ie what courts won't reject) as close as possible.

Regarding the original post, I think American was really just doing the standard corporate stonewalling (I'm not endorsing this as being morally right). It seems as if the pass holders would have eventually prevailed in court, but what actually settled the question was American's filing of bankruptcy - which made the whole thing moot.

This article spends time attempting to portray the 'wrong' about Civilization, but it still comes off as more interesting background about the game's creators than remorse about Western views.

I bet there could be some accessibility-related use for the touch bar. Also, accessibility is already tied to completely unrelated things like event taps.
I don't think you're the grim reaper :) Personally, I'm reacting to statements you've made like:

"there is no real option if you're developing for IOS"

"other macbooks don't seem the right type for heavy multitasking"

"the value proposition of a macbook pro is going down"

Those read like universal absolutes rather than nuanced criticisms. You do make a point with respect to adapters. I've been using Apple laptops since my first G3 (that's not me trying to display street cred, just trying to establish that I've been through a lot of different port changes over the years).

And that's why I asked about your current setup. If you're currently developing for iOS and it's working fine, then one option is to keep using what you have. If you have a legitimate reason to need to upgrade, i.e., developer tools you need to use are no longer supported for your machine, that's a legitimate complaint. If you want a new machine because you want the new hotness (and hey, that can be fun), but the new hotness doesn't match your expectations, well, I'm sorry you're disappointed. That however is different from "no real option" or "not the right type".

Another option for you to consider is buy one of the current gen machines or a refurbished model. Might be a compromise that works for you.

One thing stands out. Google doesn't have multiple streams of income. They have search and a lot of money losing ventures.
Because they don't spell it as Maths, obviously.
I previously used the 11" MBA as my dedicated "running around to meetings" machine, and basically just used Evernote and MS Office on it. When the new MacBook came out, I switched to it.

The keyboard on the MB takes some serious getting used to (actually, in the ~8 months that I used that computer, I never became fully used to the keyboard), but the screen and physical size of the MB was better than the MBA. (Of course, the processor was noticeably slower... so YMMV.)

So IMO, they did the right thing, there was too much overlap between models. The MB still needs to get faster and come down in price, but I do think it will be just as ubiquitous as the MBA within a few years.

I agree with others that the current line up is sorely lacking an affordable laptop, but that will likely change (slowly; hopefully) as manufacturing & component costs come down.
And I'm in the middle of you two:
