The idea is to be relatively healthy in your old age, not necessarily extend your life by much beyond what the human body can currently live, if it remains free of disease.

That's a futile approach. What's needed is to suppress the biological changes that come with aging. Aging is a timeout, not a wearout. This is clear because there are diseases which accelerate aging, and the same steps happen, but faster.[1]

They're probably right about that. But they could put the pin sensor technology from the iPad Pro into an iMac and get a pretty good product. They did a fantastic job with it.
Can you statically compile executables? That's a huge win right there.
OMG yes. I would love that so much. I think this is still my favorite game. I love forest management.

If you've already got experience doing hackintoshes you can't beat building your own Xeon machine and just dealing with a few hours here and there of update headache.

The price of raw commodity hardware is suuuuper cheap compared to off the shelf macs. There are even nice mini-itx cases if you want a powerful, slightly-larger-than-mac-mini machine.
They are legally empowered by elected officials, just like the police, the courts, the entire Justice Department, military, State Department, NIH, NSF, IEEE (for some things), and many, many more.

What alternative is there? Our elected officials can't possibly have the time or the expertise to perform all those tasks themselves.

The Belgians I've known simply want a straight answer.

Americans will make up a hundred reasons to not do something when they don't have a technical leg to stand on. I was starting to hate this Belgian guy because he wanted something done and I didn't want to spend the time required to do it. Finally, after coming up with all sorts of excuses, I just told him the truth and thought he'd storm out.

He just said "Fine! Now we can go have a beer"
Sadly very true. Wealth doesn't grant vision.
For now I think a broad overview would be a better option, then I can narrow in on areas that I feel weak in.
The exact timing of the feedback session is debatable. It could be in a wrap up session, next training session or whatever.

More importantly, it should be private and only for the eyes and ears of the team/band/player.
I am really concerned about where the whole mac train goes.

It is so clear they did not consider touch-typists when they designed touch bar. They could have used textured glass to cover it, or aligned its keys to 0-9 row, or added haptic feedback, or at least kept 2 options for keyboard as they did with 13 inch model.

Seeing Craig Federighi when he tried his best to show the demo was hilarious. Is it how they see professionals working in the next decade? It turned out that Microsoft has better understanding of it. At least is see Surface Dial being used.

I can cover that ugly "MacBook Pro" branding by duct tape. I can buy dongles for SD/HDMI and magsafe-like USB-C cable. But... the whole story of giving up on professionals seems to be unforgettable.
When you say "store every allocation" do you mean you never release anything, or do you just mean you store info about every allocation? If it's the former, that sounds kind of crazy, is it common for game developers to do that? If it's the latter, you could always write it to disk (which is what malloc stack logging does).
Thanks for the positive feedback! Glad to hear you believe in the idea and want to see it be successful.

I agree that getting users on board is the biggest challenge. Premium content is certainly one additional way to get more users on board (and we've actually built a product that let's websites gate access / sell premium content, too!). I think there are actually a few ways we can give users more value by connecting them with the sites they love even more, so we're definitely thinking about how to bridge that connection! Let us know if you have other ideas or specific things you'd want to see.
I'm a grad student studying a field known as bioinformatics. Basically, we come in to do the computer work for the biologists. We are in very high demand, as most biological research today generates huge quantities of data, and most biologists don't have the skills to deal with it.

The good news for someone like you is that I've met a number of people with a lot of experience in the computer side of things but little to no biology knowledge. There are in fact a lot of projects that could benefit from a good programmer/data analyst even if they don't know much biology. A lot of bioinformaticians just pick up the biology they need to know about their project as they go. Grad school would also be another route. A lot of bioinformatics programs are catered to people lacking either the biology or computer side of things. A good student could get into one of these programs without needing to go back and do a separate undergraduate degree.

I hope that helps! It's too bad that you can't pm people through this site, or I'd have no problems answering any questions if you were interested in hearing more. That said, there are a number of friendly online communities, such as the bioinformatics subreddit.

Sure, most people bang some form of this drum, but when they do people chuckle. When someone starts swinging tens of millions of dollars whiling banging the drum though... people pay attention. For some strange reason though, they stop seeing it for what it is... dazzled by the money as they are.
TTR amyloid most certainly is not the or even a major cause of death in older adults. While associated with cardiomyopathy and nephropathy and etc, it's not associated with coronary artery disease, stroke, or cancer - the main drivers of mortality (yes, even in the oldest people).
This is why for CVE's assigned via the Distributed Weakness Filing (DWF) Project I require a copy of the artifact, the reality is your website might go away, or get lost at sea, or deleted, or whatever. For information supporting CVE identifiers it's a super huge pain in the ass when the website/document disappears.
Two thoughts about this story:

1) Am I the only person who doesn't accept random facebook friend requests, ESPECIALLY from beautiful women? If I don't know you, I just assume that you are trying to scam me by becoming my facebook friend. Then again, there must be SOME people who just randomly friend strangers that they have no connection with (or half of the stories in MTV's "Catfish" would have never happened).

2) People really shouldn't freak out too much about there family seeing nudes/sexual pics of them. My mother actually has unintentionally seen sexually explicit photos of me, and it wasn't nearly as big of a deal as I thought it would be. I let her use one of my USB drives, but forgot that there were pictures of myself and ex-girlfriends involved in some more intimate activities.

The result was that my conservative religious mommy realized her then 34yo son was not her "baby" anymore and she called the photos vulgar and pornographic, but beyond that, the world didn't end. I was embarrassed for about 30 seconds, then realized that the only thing that has really changed is she has visual proof that I am sexually active. Well, I am LIVING PROOF that she was sexually active AT LEAST ONCE, so what is the big deal?

The only REALLY uncomfortable part was when the nurse in her came out, and she started grilling me on contraception and whether I was getting regularly tested for STDs. Then she started pleading with me to tell her if she had any grandchildren out there (she doesn't). That turned into the "you really need to settle down and give me some grand-babies" discussion. I offered to buy her a puppy instead, but she said that wasn't the same.

I guess the whole point of my post is that (at least in the West) photos like this might be a little embarrassing, but if your family and friends love you, they will STILL love you even after seeing a video of you doing something that EVERYBODY does, only in private.
Robust, sure, but they offer an interface far too heavyweight for simple tasks.
Thank you for your response, but I feel like this book wouldn't really be beneficial to me. I have taken courses covering this material in great detail
My understanding of the upper age limit is that it's the "natural" limit (i.e. if you don't take medicine and gene therapies and such). The goal of these new anti-aging therapies is to raise that natural limit.

Recently to inflate the stock price. They take advantage of near zero interest rates to borrow and then repurchase stock, the resulting price increase more than covers the debt service fees.
I believe it was faculty bias that was implied with regards to the point about disconfirmation.

He did point to statistics showing that liberal bias has been present in universities for quite some time, but that until 1990 it seemed to remain at a steady 4:1 ratio or so. But that in the last 25 years, that ratio has become much more skewed. Up to 67:1 in some fields.

> Basically, life happens, and work needs to account for that.

I'm not sure that it does need to do that. Let's say someone has three kids and is a single parent. This person cannot be the best at what they do. It's just not possible.

That guy or gal who has to leave at 4pm sharp every day to pick up from child care and then needs to care for the children can not compete with someone who does not and has the same passion for work, and abilities.

Who has read more books, who has gone to more conferences, networked, and actually coded, after 10 years of this. All else being equal?

I think it's up to the state to encourage raising children if it wants, but let's not pretend that someone who's been away for years is as good as the same person who has not.

Some countries legally mandate that parental leave MUST be counted as "work experience", with promotions and salary increases as if they were working. (e.g. Sweden, with its 400+ day parental leave)

(don't counter with "someone really good and a parent is better than a mediocre one without children", since you'll find that I said nothing implying otherwise, because of course that's true)
I feel you are over defending git. There is effectively two commands here, why not just give them different names?

The man page starts "switch branches or restore working tree files", which sounds like ramming two things together. Then the manual has to have a special section on how to disambiguate the two uses (files and branches). It would be less work to have an unambiguous command.

Perhaps, at least, make the -- separating files and branches mandatory (so you have to start -- always with files)
The planet has no needs at all, and human longevity is unlikely to be a major issue when most of our human ventures center around efficient ways of killing each other.
Uh, I have to look down to know where my F2 key is right now anyway.

I'm hopeful that the customization of TouchBar will have some perks that weren't quite made loud & clear in the preso.
I'm actually not sure why the source code of 15+ year old games aren't released every day. When the CD manufacturing stops and the company shuts down, etc, no one brings up the possibility of releasing the source to the community. It's possibly the only way to preserve the art history of video games besides making comparability platforms and sharing modified binaries in a legal gray area.
You can map it to both, actually. :)

Other people have walked into my power cord repeatedly. Every time I was thrilled at mag safe and praised it.
AFAIK:

980M - 100W /
1060 ~ 80W /
1070 ~ 120W /
1080 ~ 150W

If they started out with the max TDP of 100W for the cooling system - upgrading it to 150W in that small space it sounds like too much of a change to meet their DL?

Clearly this does not excuse the reengineering but it might explain why they went this route.
Terrifying, horrifying, amazing... none of these words have any impact left after huffpo and buzzfeed have watered them down to meaninglessness. They get to join "evil" on the scrapheap of linguistic history.

His joke aside, it illustrates an important point: there are a variety of ways to produce lift. For example, when one observes a jet overfly the runway during an airshow, holding its altitude while on its side, the engine is the source of the majority of its lift in that scenario.

Not a big fan of Class C the stock buyback. As a holder of Class A and Class C shares (from the earlier split), I thought I should sell Class C, that has no votes and buy Class A which get to vote. Mostly out of laziness, I didn't switch up to Class A, but if I can't vote with my Class A shares to buy back only Class A and not Class C, then I don't know which I would buy now. Seems like a backdoor transfer to Google employees who get Class C shares, but I knew what I was getting into with Larry and Sergey controlling the company with their B shares.
I received several of these annoying calls. I knew it was a scam but I was amazed at their brazenness; how can they get away with claiming to be from the IRS and demand money? Good to hear they have been charged.
I would recommend seeing a physical therapist to get started instead of trying to put together s plan yourself, especially since you're already experiencing pain.

Based on my experience I'd also recommend seeing one in a private practice, not attached to a large hospital, but ymmv. Hospital centers I went to would only treat one thing at a time for insurance reasons even though I had two problems.

Anyway, I think good professional guidance will help you recover faster and more completely because they'll be able to identify problems, design solutions, and give you feedback & knowledge more effectively than if you DIY.

>> There's this idea that people will buy everything Apple does, or that people put down things until Apple does them.

Part of the problem is that Apple / Steve Jobs sometimes helped perpetuate this idea.

Some examples:

* Steve Jobs saying video on an iPod type of device was pointless

* Steve Jobs saying that apps were pointless on the iPhone and that the web apps were good enough

* Apple putting out a TV ad emphasizing that the iPhone had the perfect screen size because your finger could go from end to end

Apple dislikers predictably misinterpret this as Apple taking an ideological position when all Apple is really doing is just trying to control the marketing message on what they think really matters with the current release of a particular product.

it appears that they are cutting up existing LCD panels up to make these screens ...
Personally if they could've had an Apple accessory that mitigated that (ie, something built-in like Griffin's breaksafe - maybe recess the port so the accessory could be flush), it would've been a coup.

Having half the guys around you laid off [or about to be] is not what I would call "ticking along comfortably".

Twitter is not a 100 000 people company where there's a 300 people division being restructured. It's a major management failure that needs at least 50% of lay off. At this scale, it will reflect to the entire environment and all the employees.
Not accommodating kids in the workplace has worked pretty great for us for a few hundred years now. I'm not sure your arguments for changing that are compelling.

That's just not true. Maybe you only use computers for social media and youtube but other people need things that can actually run resource intense programs.
Honestly I upvote this simply because women get asked and can reply uninterrupted, I don't actually care all that much about what they say just that they have been given the space to say it (as none of these engineers are the one I married).
"Self-esteem" is a nice way of saying American children are becoming more arrogant with fewer skill, lower performance and less experience than ever. Adults, teachers and mentors need to do more to put them in their place, for their own good. Respect is earned, not entitled to "special snowflakes."
I mostly touch type without any serious errors at a pretty rapid clip on my phone. But that's with a pretty firm reliance on autocorrect. Which frequently makes stupid choices. But I wouldn't want to ever work like that.
> 2 or even 4 cores ... You have more front running applications than that these days. Some of them are invisible but still CPU intense.

Occasionally that's true, but users typically interact with just one app at a time. Even if background tasks are running and taking up CPU time (which is not the common case—if it were then games wouldn't work!) the foreground app should get priority in using the CPUs. So background apps aren't relevant here, any more than background apps are relevant in a single-core scenario.

> In order to get significant benefits from parallelism in browsers the number of cores shall be measured in tens at least I think. If not even more that that. To run things in parallel like bunch of Cassowary solvers for each BFC container.

First of all, that's not true, based on our measurements. We've seen large improvements with as few as two cores. Second, CSS parallelizes just as well if not better than Cassowary: unless text actually has to wrap around floats we can lay out every block in parallel. Even when there's a lot of text wrapping around floats, we can lay out all the floats in parallel.

> These are things that kill parallel execution.

Even if we had batch updating APIs, existing browser engines would be in no position to offload layout and restyling to a separate thread. The DOM and render tree are too intertwined in typical engines.
If a company has removed its own ability to reward me for putting in extra effort, busting my ass to produce extra value would make me kind of a sucker, don't you think?

Every scheme I've heard of to get around that has had had some major flaw or other. Usually by failing to capture some important area of endeavour; or by relying on some combination of easily gamed metrics (like tickets closed or evaluations by co-workers); or requiring employees to capture excruciatingly detailed metrics; or by having incentives too small to be worth pursuing; or by including a large management fudge factor that makes the rest of the system pointless.

I maybe should have been less subtle above, but this was me trolling.

On a side note, I cannot believe in 2016 Jony Ive actually mentioned integrating software and hardware in a product video. This is a shockingly disappointing product launch, if only for how lost in the wheat they are.

I'm starting to wonder if there's a very real possibility that Apple's marketing is so good that they've come to believe it themselves.

.Net Core is the runtime. It's the cross platform version of the .NET Framework.

.Net Standard is just an API specification which will be implemented on the .NET Framework, .NET Core, or Xamarin runtimes. Technically it's a subset of the .NET Framework libraries. It's more of an improvement on .NET Core as it is bringing more APIs to that runtime.

So basically as long as you use the APIs in .NET Standard, your application can be compiled for any of those 3 runtimes.

The presentation at times looked like it was ready made for comedians to spoof. Tim Cook's delivery is like something out of Office Space. And that TV section. Statements of the sort "Look!
