The replication crisis definitely leaves a lot of room for questioning. However, even if all the studies we have were properly replicated we still wouldn't understand addiction perfectly. We still have a lot to learn, just look at how vague definitions of addiction are still http://www.dsm5.org/documents/substance%20use%20disorder%20f... But both addiction and learning involve the brain's dopamine circuitry; ironically when responding to your point I can't read the relevant articles I found because they are behind paywalls. This article has some interesting commentary but the sources are paywalled: https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/html/10.10... Most likely there is a connection, but anyone who claims to understand it entirely at this point is overconfident.

That's fine for Pro's, but a silly strategy for the home/family market.

Buying a mini is a no brainer. Buying an iMac is a bit iffy compared to PCs on price. But, a MacBook + display is a no go for most homes.

I suppose Apple feels their iPads will target the home market.
No 32gb? Is this true? Someone please tell me that's not true.

I was (against all odds), hoping for 64! If this is true, consider me disgusted. I had 16GB in my (long lost, loved) 17-inch Macbook Pro, in 2009! I really cannot fathom what this company is thinking. I'm bewildered, disappointed, angry, in equal measure. I've been waiting for a killer Macbook Pro for literally 18 months! Sorry. I'm going Lenovo/Dell or why not, Surface Studio. For the first time in 20 years. I'm going Windows. I will not support a company which insults me with this. If this is Jony Ive's work, if they are so self-confident in their "design" that they cannot put a decent hardware spec together, then these people need to be retired.

Or maybe I just haven't cottoned on? They just don't care about high end users? Or are they completely out of touch? I don't understand.
This comes up fairly frequently. The honest answer is that it's up to you and the requirements of your app where state gets stored. Unfortunately, state is everywhere: server/database state, local storage/cookie state, redux store state, react state, DOM state, etc. And that's if you have a fairly standard setup. Sometimes you want info from redux store state also stored in local storage and pulled on page reload, sometimes you want to get state from the server before continuing, sometimes an external library insists on DOM state, etc.

Generally, the problem redux is trying to solve is sharing state between components and saving client state globally. If there is information in a component for which you don't want to do either of those things, like UI details such as if a menu is or isn't collapsed, better to have that in the component react state.

Though this can be murky also. Showing the error modal I put in the redux store because I want it to supersede all other modals and to work globally.

This has been my experience anyway, as usual YMMV.
What, if any, effect might this have on Android, given that its all Java?
Heroku deployment is down for 1h
I don't think I've ever used more than a gigabyte of RAM programming. I could even do it on a Raspberry Pi. What exactly in your workflow uses 64GB of RAM?
Looks like they are using crappy dual core Ultrabook processors and calling it a pro notebook. As per the frequency of processor its looks like i5-6267U for 13inch touch bar and i5-6360u for non-touch bar. I would instead buy this laptop with i7-6820HQ for much cheaper.
> I didn't down vote, but the comment would be better if it were expanded with some details about why he thinks people who are good at their jobs should avoid open salary workplaces.

I've tried a handful of different ways to explain this (before backspacing out this comment box and trying again), but here's the best I can come up with:

You always have the ability to negotiate for higher pay. If you've spent much of your life in different workplaces, you'll probably know that people (generally) think they deserve raises for reasons other than those that make sense. Those can include:

* Poor personal money management

* Poor life decisions leading to more money needed

* Number of years spent with the company

* Number of hours worked each week

* How busy they appear to be

* How much they think they get done

* How much more work they think they do than they did last year

* How much more work they think they do than their peers

* and more

None of those things really matter, though. Factors that actually matter include:

* How much other employers will pay for your skillset

* How likely you are to leave

* How much it would cost to replace you

This is important because the people actually running the business have to understand this, but the rest of the employees don't. As a high performer, you'll be negotiating a raise based on those factors that actually matter and your boss (hopefully) understands that. You don't want to put him in a situation where he can (or has to) fall back on how the rest of the company will feel about your pay, because they don't necessarily weigh the correct factors in deciding whether or not you "deserve" it.
They do use the 15W Skylake in the non-touchbar MBP. Same claimed battery life, though.
I'm not religious, but I'll pray every night for a miracle. :)
>> It's about the orientation, not the touch screen itself. A tablet you normally hold horizontally or at an angle when you use it.

I get that it might not be for everyone, but a LOT of keyboard cases have been sold to iPad and iPad Pro users (and many of these cases prop up the iPad screen vertically). And keep in mind that iOS pretty much necessitates use of the touch screen more than Windows 8/10 does. So there must be a LOT of people who would be OK with that mode of use.

With respect to the Surface, I use it with the keyboard attached 99% of the time so it's pretty much vertical all the time. It's not even remotely uncomfortable or tiring in normal use.
BlackRock calls for higher carbon price to tackle climate change
> Honestly though, I think an add on accessory the size of a trackpad would be better.

Or just make the Magic Trackpad into a Touch Pad with the OLED display and such.
Do you frequently use applications which, on the fly, change what their keyboard shortcuts are? Like, copy is Cmd+C right now, but five minutes from now, in the same application, it will suddenly be Option-P instead? And Fn-Q ten minutes after that?

If not, why do you assume that an application won't consistently present its contextual touch buttons in the same locations each time it presents them? Because the only case in which you couldn't develop muscle memory for those buttons is one in which they are not in the same location each time the application presents them.

(and if your retort will be that you use different applications which will make different choices for their contextual buttons, well, they probably already used different keyboard shortcuts for application-specific tasks, and you developed muscle memory for those, so...)
No hardware problems on my XPS 13. But the trackpad, however, has never worked properly with Windows 10. They seriously dropped the ball on the trackpad. I don't understand how that's possible on a laptop.
The limits of big data
Unfortunately for work-place romances the 'rule' is that you either get married or the guy quits.

That is NOT a hard and fast rule and is not universal, but generally that is how it works out (anecdata). How a same-sex/multi-person/trans relationship works out usually, I have no idea and would love some perspectives on it from HN.
Hi-res photo of Europe’s lost Mars lander uncovers a new mystery
I mostly agree with you, and as I've said my post about this in The Unshut, I would compare the Touch Bar in the MacBook Pro with 3D Touch on the iPhones: it looks nice on a demo, but I don't think it is as practical as Apple want us to believe.

http://theunshut.com/2016/10/27/will-the-touch-bar-save-the-...

Enjoy that ZBook, by the way.
I don't think so, well, at least not entirely. :-)

Dynamic languages were attractive as an alternative to being forced to specify types all the time, even when it's "obvious." Nobody would have complained if type errors were pointed out for "free."

But type inference is getting popular (eg scala), which is showing people that you can have your cake and eat most of it too.

There's also a lot of little things like REPLs, runtime metaprogramming, blah blah, that used to be solely the domain of dynamic languages, but popular interpreters/VMs have gotten way better in the last decade or two (thanks, JVM) and shown that you actually _can_ have it all. There's no longer a big strong line between interpreted and compiled.

If you can make a statically typed language expressive and fast-to-iterate enough, which I think you can and we (mostly) have, then that kind of yanks the ground right out from under the feet of the dynamic languages, leaving them with no real reason to exist in the long run.

That said, there's something attractive to the unexperienced about being able to code in the laziest possible way, and I don't think platforms that deliver a tiny bit of value in the short run in exchange for massive payback in the long run will ever lose popularity, among new engineers who have not yet learned what it's like to maintain a large program. There will always be PHPs as long as there are students. And that's OK. You learn to do thing well by doing things poorly. But hopefully over time such tools will mainly be used for trivial and learning projects, not big mission critical things
watch it whip. watch it nae-nae. watch it go away.
Linux is not bad. But nobody is making decent Linux hardware, and the instant you slap Linux onto a Windows machine, battery life plummets. My days buying Windows machines and struggling to get Linux on them are over. I'd rather buy a Mac and get a Unix I can use without having to install it.

Is anyone actually selling a decent preinstalled Linux laptop? If I really wanted to use Linux I would rather buy a Windows laptop and run Linux in a VM.
My younger brothers undergraduate research mostly focused on answering this question in the University of California system. His conclusion is that funding was overwhelmingly going to the administrative faculty and has been doing so since UC let the administrative faculty have the most say in how he universities are run.
I loathe PTO arrangements.

Oh, thanks for picking that scab. Worked at a place with the "all-in-one-bucket" PTO. Hated it for the exact reason you outline. I rarely get sick (about once a year), and it seemed like I was sick on a monthly basis working there.
Vine's limitations held it back. Square video and 6 seconds does not a good video app make. In order to appeal to businesses that would actually pay for video (ad agencies, news) they'd have to completely remake the app to account for different aspect ratios and videos longer than 6 seconds.

When twitter.com already has videos that support those features why keep an antiquated app around?
I don't think they expect home users to use an external display for "work" usage. For video or casual gaming you can connect to a TV.

(Not necessarily happy with this logic, but I think it's the direction they're headed...)
I really hate using esc in its default position so I always map caps lock to esc. Mapping caps lock to ctrl seems so much more useful; I had no idea ^[ is the same thing.
Reddit has multiple payment bots. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/changetip/

I believe there are Twitter bots for the same. Any bot should be generalizable to any text medium.
>What benefit does a USB-C keyboard give me, exactly?

That you can connect it to phones with USB-C without any dongles. Almost all new phones have USB-C. Except one from Apple.
> 6. Increase HDD to 10TB.

Are you high? Samsung just announced the 2TB 960 Pro for >$1200, their 4TB SSD the year before was like $4000. 10TB is enterprise-class 2.5" $10000 a pop land (or cheaper in bulk, Seagate announced a 60TB SSD for $40000 in 3.5" format)
None — Android doesn't use Hotspot; they've had their own AOT compilation project for their platform (ART) for some time.
Again, you are describing a particular type of consciousness. Consciousness is simply subjective experience, or qualia.

<People who have been through such experiences (ego-death) report in-hindsight that the feeling of being a conscious agent in space-time completely disappears, and it is simply as if one is absorbed into the environment, no longer separate from it.>

There has to be something experiencing the feeling of either being a part of or separate from the environment. If there's a feeling, there is consciousness. Maybe this will help discernment: consciousness is the "space" where feelings/sensations/qualia arise. Any feeling of having a self or not arises in this space.
Why waste space with an inferior port? A USB Type A port is useful for backwards-compatibility, but lacks the speed or the Thunderbolt support of USB-C.
So, everything is slowly converging on Scala? (Though of course none will reach the asymptote that is Scala's feature count.)
Yeah, people dating their equals is fine. People dating their superiors or underlings is a huge red flag.
So I'm curious as well but I know many female friends who prefer to be called a lady / ladies so I'm not sure you can necessarily win when you attempt to converse with someone and you have zero context about them.

I think people need to be more forgiving with most labels when the conversation happens anonymously without context of that user's preference. Now if you referred to them as "bitches" that would be a problem but I feel like we can be forgiving for "ladies", even if a majority of women do not like it.

Right? At least that's what I think.
No. An employee should make the salary he or she is willing to accept and an employer is willing to pay.
Among the ways I could imagine HR finding out, we have social media being a major factor. Additionally, depending on how far along your relationship is you'll probably end up at the same address, though I suppose you could claim "roommate" in that scenario. You say "rumor" is not good enough, but if you're at-will as many people are I would assume they can just fire you, no?
Exactly. Anyone suggesting you can work while looking after a small child has clearly never looked after a small child. I can barely make an occasional cup of tea and put some laundry on when looking after our toddler, the thought of doing productive work is hilarious!
I'd argue that in companies where salaries are not transparent, there is also not a (he is awesome) variable. Salaries among the same title/level are dependent more on how good of a negotiator you are or how good your relationship is with your manager, than whether or not you are awesome.

EDIT: In theory they should be based on what the employee could get elsewhere in the market, but if that were always true there would be no job hopping.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

They haven't replaced my laptop with anything new. They just released a newer model. Similar to every yearly company announcement ever. Nobody cares about version 7 with nothing new, they care about version 1 of something innovative.
This was my first thought also. Dealing with illness is always hard, but the idea of having a room full of hard-to-sanitize objects like sleeping bags, specifically for sick people, is downright alarming.

Daycares, schools, and hospitals are already excellent at spreading illness. Setting aside a non-sanitized room for sick kids (or adults) seems like a way to ensure that everyone leaves sicker than they came in.
I don't understand the anonymous angle. Why does everything have to be anonymous now? Like, you know if it uses the internet or touches a switch/router/server etc outside of your own home at any point that it's certainly, most definitely NOT anonymous at this point.

Anonymous has become a pointless buzzword in this NSA-era we be living in. Just say it's a hyper-local instant messaging app, because any half woke individual will know that nothing on the internet is anonymous really anymore. A percentage of all our internet activity is sitting on a rack somewhere in the Utah desert.

Get over it.
Is the Touch ID sensor the new power button?

Yep.
One day Apple will add a touch screen and everybody will be like "this is amazing, how did I live without this until now".

Just like the bigger screen iPhone, which was supposedly a usability disaster because you couldn't reach the whole screen with a single finger.
AtomBombing: Brand New Code Injection for Windows
Hey I'm sorry but it's disgusting to compare a romantic relationship to rape, and then I don't like the sexism in your comment. Also, army is an extreme case in comparison with anything that's not army. I'm not a US citizen so what I know about your army is limited to what I see on the news, but what I know of armies in general is that they are organisations of legitimised killers with loads of weapons at their disposal and tamed with the power of dogma and discipline and submission. So go figure.

Whatever, staying on topic: if some people abuse a given freedom, it does not mean that the freedom itself need be banned. The abusers need be punished. In my mother tongue we have this expression: don't burn the quilt for the flea. The initiative for a relationship need not come from the superior, and in case it does, it need not be corrupt and exploitative. And then it's not that the lower-ranking one is always a Sally or an Anna, can also be a Joe or Tom. (edit:) At the end of the day, each case is different and should be taken in its own.

You say you don't see any good in it, but partners of such relationships that lead to happy families will beg to differ. Usually people get to meet each other in school, work or friend gatherings. It's not like you can stop people in the street and ask them out.

edit: grammar are hards
Android and Oracle's Java have been diverged for quite a while. There aren't any Java 8 features available to Android now, so you sadly shouldn't hold your breath for any Java 9 features either, it will probably be a long, long time.
On the forced updates, I've certainly felt the annoyance at finding my PC unexpectedly rebooted with no warning. On the other hand, they've been getting hammered hard on security for so long, and probably a big part of the reason why is people delaying or not installing security patches. It's tough to find a good compromise between forcing the entire world to update immedately, no matter what their situation is, and multi-million machine botnets wreaking havoc on the internet.
2008 Mac Pro tower! Only reason I'm considering MacBOOK Pro, is because the Mac Pro desktop has been just forgotten.
I'm a big fan of this project. I'd love to talk if you're ever interested in making it something bigger!
"When I was at Princeton in the 1940s I could see what happened to those great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they are not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come.

Nothing happens because there's not enough real activity and challenge: You're not in contact with the experimental guys. You don't have to think how to answer questions from the students. Nothing!"

There's several options to disable, whereas on macOS there's basically one.

The other problem is some of the Windows options are pretty buried, that Control Panel is turning into a toxic waste dump.
Where in the world are the best startup cities?
No, I'm expecting there to be a "Reload" button on the touch bar when a browser has focus.
Linux is supposedly secure because everyone can access the source code and find a serious bug.

The question is whether anyone will fix it.
I disagree on your first point- I think that there could be someone else who could write a grant proposal for me, provided that they a) expressed an interest in grant writing over benchwork / data analysis and b) were fluent enough in the field's literature to be able to translate my ideas into bureaucratic prose more elegantly and efficiently than me. Such a hypothetical individual might have some overlap with the "scientific popularizer" roles that we see cropping up with figures like Neil deGrasse Tyson or Bill Nye, in the sense that they could serve as a conduit between scientists and funding (whereas popularizers serve as links between scientists and the general public).

The issue is that this kind of idealized division of labor can't exist in the current climate- there just isn't enough money to distribute a researcher's load across multiple specialists. This results in researchers being expected to juggle advising, grant writing, committee work, publishing, coding, analysis, and teaching, which creates more stress on researchers and poorer quality results.

I do agree with you on your second point though- publish or perish is academia's equivalent to rank and yank.
Everyone's disappointed because we don't WANT innovation.

We WANT better battery life, not a slightly thinner laptop.

We WANT our USB ports and MagSafe.

We WANT a touchscreen MacBook.

We WANT significantly upgraded specs, and expandability.

We WANT to have the same physical keyboard layout we've had forever.

We WANT Apple to stop f•••ing us around by increasing the price while actively removing features.

THIS laptop is not 'excellent at what it does' if I can't:

• use any of my existing peripherals with it without paying an exorbitant $35 PER ADAPTER to get it to do so.

• provide me with a significant performance increase to a laptop I bought 4 years ago.

• provide me with the same features the previous laptop had (built-in HDMI, built-in SD card slot)

This is head-shakingly, miserably sad and would've been a punch in the balls already for any serious pro user if it wasn't an additional punch in the balls for Apple considering Microsoft showed yesterday it's actually willing to innovate.
I have both mapped to caps lock. Single press is esc. Hold with another key is ctrl.

I do a similar thing with my shift keys. Single press of left/right shift places the appropriate parentheses. Holding acts like shift.
Or just built the functionality into the program UI in the context specific cases.
Well, actually: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tb6fWHelumA/maxresdefault.jpg

it's probably not bad on a touchscreen.
You gave the example of Firefox. In fact, the Mozilla organization, which manages Firefox has plenty of paid employees. See https://careers.mozilla.org/. The same is true for some other major open-source projects such as the Linux Foundation or LetsEncrypt. Being an employee at one of these organizations means you are literally being paid to contribute to open source projects.
Microsoft’s dominance over desktops has never changed. Be it servers, PCs or game consoles. And it is Apple who have forged their own path into mobile computing these last 15 years.
C++ games programming. Build process uses several gigabytes, but running the game in debug configuration takes 50-55GB because we store every allocation at the moment. If I need to run my own servers or bake data I go over that easily.
Which would solve the problem that's the issue here.

(It would create other, bigger problems for many people, but on this single point, it would be the perfect solution)
We really need to figure out what sleep is for. It seems important.
