But that's not a cable that everyone has everywhere.

So many times around me poor iPhone owners couldn't charge their phones at parties because nobody had their kind of cable around, while for microUSB you've got plenty of helpful charger and powerbank owners.

To be honest, lately owners of phones with USB-C were having the same problem, but I guess it's gonna change faster than with Lightning cables.

You're in the wrong discussion if you think gaming has any relevance to this line of laptops. People that own Macbook Pros don't play games seriously. Gaming is strictly for Windows devices, as it's largely an afterthought in the Mac world.

Can anyone just point me to a 32gb ram 13" machine with TB3 Ports?

I would pay handsomely. If Microsoft had included a single Type-C port in the surface book, I would be at least in office bliss.

We could all have just bought Type-C dock monitors and had instant flexdesks with one cablee... But no... I have to wait at least half a year more for that to happen :(

If MS would just sell me a Surface Studio Display that works as a TB3 Dock for both Mac & Win Devices, offering Surface Pen & Dial support Windows only, or heck even Surface only, we would buy so many of them MS would have to become actually good at supply chains...

"no two employees with the exact same job title should have more than 10% difference in pay"

Meh, job titles are just buckets.
Comp is also a bunch of buckets.

Why should these buckets be necessarily tied in size?

Lots of flatter organizations have a smaller number of titles but larger comp buckets.

There is nothing necessarily wrong with this.

>Wacom releases innovative products all the time,

Hahahahahahahahaha

Wacom hasn't released an innovative product in 10 years, and much like Texas Instruments and their $130 monopoly on school calculators, everyone is still paying the same $2500 to Wacom that they did decades ago for Cintiq.

The lack of competition for Wacom is criminal and has allowed them to coast on last-decades product line for a very long time.

Hell, the most innovative thing Wacom has done in 10 years is rebrand Graphire into Bamboo. Ooooooh!

I imagine the day the Apple Pencil was announced was a very grim day in what ever is left of the Wacom R&D department.
As much as the hacker crowd loves to hate Jobs, he really was the visionary for the entire company. Apple has a very far lead, but if these events continue to go the way they are going I don't see that lasting another 10 years.

You are using a lot of "yeah but what about this extreme edge case?".

Edge cases are edge cases for a reason. If two people are dating, it is usually obvious and everyone knows.

It is obvious, and out in the open, and if someone asks, the people dating will probably say "yes we are dating" or humm and haww like they have obviously been caught.

People in general are very bad at lying and keeping secrets, especially from people that they spend 40 hours a week with every week.
I think the main difference isn't "who announced something that I'd prefer buying tomorrow", but who announced something that shows a ton of potential growth areas? The MBP refresh announced today seems OK. It's where the MBP is right now. The Microsoft announcement yesterday showed where computers should go. It's a different approach, and kind of subtle, but I see a much larger potential in the Surface Studio's future vision for desktop/portable PCs than in Apple's.
The point is you can release binaries for every plateform thanks to cross-compilation, no need to install Go on your machine. And no need to install a runtime no, the runtime is embedded into the binary.
Do you know anyone that purchased Logitech keyboards for those sweet visuals on the tiny LCD screen? Me neither. This is a total gimmick. Power users don't look at the keyboard, it's a waste of time.
This might have made sense a couple of years ago, but I don't think desktop hardware is advancing at a rate where yearly updates are a must. This seems even more true for typical Mac use-cases where users don't quite care as much about gaming performance. Intel deprecated tick-tock for a reason, so I don't think it would make sense for Apple to adopt that strategy now.
I believe you could drop 99 of those 100 petabytes and your average user wouldn't notice. The web is full of crap. I don't think you have to match Google's size from the start to be able to compete.
But I do want to use the internet. I just don't want giant corporations tracking me around the web and employing thousands of people whose job is to try to trick me into buying crap I don't need or want in a myriad of different ways. I don't think this is unreasonable. People who just love ads would find no worth in the ad-free network I wish would spring up, but the rest of the ad-laden internet would likely still be there for their pleasure.

My current Macbook Pro is fine - the new models have slightly more horsepower but I don't feel mine is lacking. If there was a model with more than 16GB of RAM I'd be more tempted, but alas. The lack of ports would actually make it a downgrade for my purposes.

There's just nothing particularly exciting in these new models. There's also nothing wrong with them, but they are getting a little long in the tooth.
Chalk me up as someone who totally doesn't get your distinction betweeen content / computation and what distributed computation would look like.

Or why the current model (SaaS with Javascript apps literally shipped to every browser) isn't distributed computation.

(The long digression on takedowns doesn't illuminate this at all either.)
No, I'm fine with my Macbook Air (mid 2012, 11-inch, 4 GB RAM).

- Twitch, Netflix, Hacker News, Twitter

What money are you talking about? The fines are coming out of the pockets of the people that are not insured and they are choosing the fines because they are lower than the cost of the premiums. So it isn't possible to insure them with the money they pay in fines.

We know that they don't qualify for Medicaid (those people aren't fined). I guess you could further expand Medicaid, but that probably wouldn't be real popular, and there would probably still be fine payers that had too much income to qualify for it.

> Besides, no one who uses Vim is gonna be happy to see the physical Esc key go away.

What kind of self-respecting Vim user physically reaches up to the top corner of their keyboard constantly?

Even if you have a physical esc key up there you should be hitting ctrl-[ or remaping it onto the capslock. It's wasted motion to constantly pull off home row to hit escape.
That's a pretty outdated viewpoint. Linux has been my professional platform for 6 years, and I find it to be vastly superior to Windows or Mac. The short time I had to use OS X for iOS development was very painful.
I don't need 40Gbps to run my mouse, and I shouldn't have to spend more money on an already egregiously overpriced machine to get an adapter. I don't want another adapter to output to my monitor. I don't want another adapter to connect to ethernet.

USB C doesn't need to be all or nothing. They could include 2 USB C and 2 USB A and solve half of these problems. Throw in a MiniDisplayPort or an HDMI and we're set.
No, it doesn't, and there is no precedent for Apple doing this.
But then they would have nothing to write iOS apps, so I don't think that will happen.
It's trivial to provision a mobile device with 128GB+ storage these days.

I don't get it.

The entire presentation was absolutely cringeworthy. The touch bar is a stupid gimmick being sold for a $300 price bump. Any serious developer, video editor or audio engineer knows all his shortcuts already and simply does not want to look down on his keyboard. The entire idea is flawed to begin with.

I really would not care if they put this on their toy-macs (the 12" "Macbook" or the "Air). Go ahead. But for the love of god, just leave one machine for people that use their Macs as a serious, professional everyday work tool
Opinion: Microsoft is now cooler than Apple
About the Touch Bar
So, all the tech we use that uses USB A will disappear in the next year? It's ok, I can just spend more money so my keyboard and mouse can work with my $2400 machine.
I don't understand how the bump in graphics card hardware matters to your drawing workflow.

We don't know if life exists or has existed on other bodies of our solar system, therefore we take great precautions to avoid contamination. Probes are sterilized, and some regions of Mars (Mars Special Regions) are barred from landings, until we can ensure better sterilization of what we send there. It would be a shame to contaminate life samples from other planets with our own before we can study it.
No that's not why. If you have any application that sucks memory without releasing it, adding more memory just delay the inevitable.

As for the RAM in the rMBP. I'm only half disappointed compared to what I would have been 1 year ago. My workflow is pushing more and more stuff in the cloud, so instead of running a bunch of small VM locally I can have VM sized properly to the task at hand rather than limited to my laptop configuration.

USB-C converters to continue to use existing peripherals would add ~$200 to the price tag, and two MBP chargers would be made obsolete. Hard not to be turned off by that kind of change. Also, I am used to the Fkeys and am not in favor of replacing them with the TouchBar.

I think the idea that it's a digital drafting table that can also be used as a desktop computer is the right way to think of it (as many have alluded to in this thread).

I wonder why ms didn't stick with AMD (like the xbox one) if they weren't going to use a 1080 (or 1070, might make more sense).

As someone that used to enjoy drawing/doodling but never made the leap from mouse to a digital pen - sketching and doodling on the surface 4 was eye-opening. Any number of programs paired with the pen/screen feels a lot like ink drawing without the mess and with multi-level undo.

The combination of a decent pen and great screen makes for a very satisfying and immediate drawing experience.
I'm with you, still use my 2010 Macbook Air for a lot of tasks. Works just dandy.
Haha, I said the same thing to an emacs buddy who was expressing concerns about vim users, he sounded pissed that real Vim users don't use ESC, or even hjkl keys.
Let's think pro apps.

Every single shortcut shown in the cringe-worthy demos today is already mapped to a well-known keyboard shortcut in the app. And pro users can use those shortcuts without ever having to look down at the keyboard.

Final Cut demo claimed that "some of these shortcuts are hard to find in the menus of an advanced app" whereas:
1. the touchbar was displaying the simplest of shortcuts, many of which are already mapped to keyboard shortcuts that professionals use
2. menus in MacOS have a built in search which touchbar lacks, obviously
3. the very next demo of Photoshop showed touchbar shortcuts nested two layers deep and are basically undiscoverable.

What the hell is touchbar if not a totally useless gimmick for actual pro users of pro apps?
If you need this codified in the modern US media cycle, just take a look at the Corey Feldman / Today Show situation. He was terrible on appearance #1, the internet let him know (as it does, both in tempered and vicious ways) and he claimed he was being bullied, then came back and did appearance #2 which was even musically worse than the first one. Then he thanks everybody for the support, rather than pay attention to the valid criticism that he has not made a bit of improvement since his Howard Stern performance in 1992.

Calling a terrible work product terrible isn't bullying.

Replace Chrome with Safari.

Unfortunately Chrome is absolutely terrible not just for power usage but also for RAM usage. For some reason Chrome loves memory, it gobbles it up. Safari is much better about it.

I switched from Chrome back to Safari recently and while it took some time adjusting, I have been seeing almost 2 - 3 hours longer battery life, and I have had way less issues with "beachballing".

Is this including the mac itself (so 2 external screens)? Because I have that setup at work with a mid-2014 Macbook Pro and with the last 3 versions of OS X and everything works fine - video fullscreen while browsing on another screen is not a problem.
I believe in most places that have actually faced this there is an obligation to disclose the relationship on the part of the promoted individual and an obligation on the company to shuffle people around so the one person isn't reporting to the other.
I don't know about you but I "touch-type" F6, F7, F8, F9, F10 all the time while single-step debugging. It looks like the Touch Bar can change to anything at any moment, such as "answer facetime call" so I wouldn't trust blindly touching it. And I don't have a spare physical button to map escape onto because I already use all the remaining buttons for their intended purpose, including caps-lock.
That's not true. I know lots of religious conservatives who don't care about any of this. I'd probably even say that the vast majority don't care about these things.

You can't no true scotmans them out of this. If someone identifies as a "religious conservative" then that is what they are.

Now getting someone else to pay you is a much bigger stretch. Outside of a couple people who work for really big companies that market commercial versions (or support packages) for FOSS projects, I don't know of anyone that gets paid to work on FOSS.

The first thing that strikes me is that the first two questions asked of a female engineer are about kids and relationships. Of course those things are relevant to some women (though hardly all), but they're just as relevant to men.
