Kind of a late response, but here are the basics of my setup (maybe I'll publish some specifics in a gist at some point):

- Hardware (which is dated now): Asus Z87 Pro with i7 4770, 16 GB Memory, 4x AMD Radeon 6450 cards (< $20/ea used)

- Proxmox/host config: vfiobind the PCI device IDs for graphics cards on boot, slightly modified pve-q35.cfg (workaround for some OS X issues on q35), using fairly standard VM args for booting OS X

- GPUs work fine after a standard OS X install, but to get audio working over HDMI, I needed a couple of edits to my DSDT (basically just inserting a GFX0 device with "hda-gfx" = "onboard-1", a standard HDAU device, and a DTGP device), and boot with the Enoch bootloader (this can be specified in the VM args to avoid having to install to disk). No extra kexts needed.

That's about it. Some of those things may no longer be necessary in the latest version of Proxmox (I haven't updated my base system in a while). Once I got things working, it's been completely stable for more than a year.
> Note that I don't use virtual machines, games, or video editing software so the 16gb of RAM is more than enough.

I don't use games or video editing software, but I have 2 virtualbox machines running, one with Debian and one with Windows 10 for testing purposes, along with always on Docker containers. My 16GB of ram on my mid-2015 near maxed out 15" rMBP with a Dell 27" 4k display hooked up holds up very well.
I've been using Fedora on my desktop machine for a few months and it's fantastic. Because I had such a good experience with it I decided to sell my MacBook Pro about a month ago and bought this laptop. Dual-booted Fedora 24 and Windows (for gaming) and I'm loving it. Like you, I had to finagle Fedora a bit to get it working but now I use it as my main dev machine.
Nope. Definition of a lobbyist: "A lobbyist is someone hired by a business or a cause to persuade legislators to support that business or cause. Lobbyists get paid to win favor from politicians. For example, oil companies send lobbyists to Washington to try to make life easier for oil companies."

A lobbyist is a lobbyist. It's not the label assigned to people who give input in general.
> There's kind of a huge gap to cover between directly testable predictions and what's trying to be explained.

The thing is, evolution is really simple. First there are random mutations, which are directly testable. Your DNA will be slightly wrong from your parents DNA. Secondly, there is environmental selection, also easily testable. Drop a house cat in the middle of the arctic and you'll see how it works, although there are much better (and humane) experiments that have been conducted. The testability is much more accessible to ordinary folk than Einsteins theory will ever be.

The final component is time, which is really what creationist take issue with. That's why you'll see them reject every branch of science except evolution.
It would seem so, wouldn't it ? But changing a Constitution would at least require a validation from their Suprene Court in terms of structure and adherence to legal principles.

Coalition Parliament majority is not exactly an authoritarian takeover, in order to be able to push anything through, I would imagine.
Sure:

Its helpful to understand the history of mobile/wireless I think since the Telecom industry takes acronyms to an insane level. The terminology changes slightly depending on which generation of mobile is being discussed. This is a good breakdown of the evolution of mobile networks. I think its a good starting point:

http://www1.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~wongtc/EE5406-Network-Archite...

This is a good resource for understanding more recent and relevant mobile architecture. This has a lot more detail:

everything to be a toddlers interface in 10 years that's enormously infuriating and useless

No need to wait 10 years, you've just described what we have now. Sure, it'll be worse in 10 years, but what we have now is already so simple that toddlers do use smartphones.

What's infuriating is that there is no pro- or power-user version. I'd pay AU$1200 for the device you described above but not for a flagship smartphone from Gooapple.
few Mac customers could care less about "digital creative professionals" and don't really want to emulate being one of them.

What do you think most Mac users want?
Running multiple VMs
Apple built its PC business on the backs of creative professionals because they were among the few groups who thought Macs were worth more than $0.00, thanks to its superior experience with Adobe's creative suite when compared to Windows.

Apple now has a dominant position in the PC market, not because they catered to creative professionals, but because they listened to their initial creative audience and focused on making their computers better.

Apple doesn't focus on the Mac Pro because they want to abandon creatives, it is simply because the Mac Pro doesn't enable any meaningful use-cases not served by the 5k iMac or its notebook line.

Form-factor, screen quality, battery life, weight, speed of I/O, and all the other design goals the author dismisses, are perhaps the most important metrics meaningful for the current generation of laptop buyers, including professionals.
I've spent time in art school, both gallery-oriented programs and commercial programs. Neither was without value. But I strongly agree with the thesis of the original article that art school is not worth the immense debt you'll have to take on in today's America; I'm old enough that things like "grants" weren't impossible to get when my family was paying for college. And college hadn't gone through the huge inflation it has in recent decades.
Firefox for Android works quite nicely, in my experience -- better as a browser than mobile Chrome, which surprised me as I had little faith in Mozilla's products before trying it. And installing uBlock Origin was a trivial matter of downloading it from the app store. It really couldn't have been easier unless it came from the factory already installed that way.
Awesome idea! Are you open to non-CTOs? For example, a software engineer turned investor? ^cough cough^
This is a false anecdotal dichotomy: either install latex on your computer at the cost of "clogging up your filesystem" (whatever that means), or give up your freedoms.

textlive-most (which is a meta package which includes almost everything an ordinary user need) uses 1.2GBs on Arch Linux, so for sure it's not "couple of GBs". And even if it takes a couple of GBs: I'm using ~60GBs in my root filesystem, and never experienced any "clogging" (granted, GNU/Linux doesn't use Windows Registry).

If installing programs "clogs up your file system" in Apple's proprietary fork of BSD (don't know/care how they call/stylize it these days), another viable option, before throwing away your freedoms, is to consider switching to a different filesystem or operating system which doesn't "clog up" when you install new programs (and which isn't riddled with backdoors and doesn't spy on you, like Apple products do: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-apple.en.html https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary-surveillance.en.... ). Now I'm not sure whether this is an issue with HFS+ or a more general one within Darwin, but what is the point of having harddisks with large capacities (measured in TB these days) if you can't actually use it?

> ShareLaTeX is that I can use LaTeX from any computer (connected to the Internet) to access any of my automatically synchronized files and have an automatically updated install of LaTeX. I personally found that value proposition worthwhile.

I'm not seeing any convincing arguments or any "worthwhile propositions" here. With GNU/* and *BSD, that burden is on the package maintainers. System updates do include latex updates too (I know that it isn't the case with proprietary system you're using, but that's an argument for switching to a free/libre OS, not throwing away your freedoms). And I am able to synchronize my files (including .tex files) files across devices over the internet using syncthing, while still not yielding my rights and data to others, and there are plenty of FOSS alternatives to syncthing too.

And even if your original dichotomy was a real dichotomy, I would encourage people to protect their freedoms, not to throw it away for convenience.
Although I tend to agree with you, Walter, most of the time, and I don't disagree here, I'm a little puzzled at why you're making this distinction. When discussing the evolution of humans, it was already a past event before any explanations were even possible, and creationism and evolution are both (in this context) offered as explanations for something that happened in the past, like the Tunguska Event. We can't really make predictions about Tunguska, just figure out what explanation is most likely. For creationism vs evolution of humans, predictions, except maybe about things that haven't been found in the fossil record but will be, don't seem involved. It's not faith vs. theory; it's plausibility of explanation vs. explanation or mechanism vs. mechanism.

But if we're talking about something going forward, which excludes the origin of humans, evolution definitely makes predictions (and creationism has nothing to say, AFAIK). We can see evolution in action with our own eyes in those recent "evolution of drug resistant bacteria" videos, and we can definitely make predictions about that and run cool experiments, but creationism isn't a part of those conversations. It's only about where humans first came from.

I'm not defending creationism (more generally: things that even a human isn't smart enough to do but yet WERE done, were done by being(s) smarter than humans) as an explanation, which I believe was only the most likely until we discovered a clearly superior and powerful explanation, but I'm a little puzzled at the "creationism is faith, evolution is theory" response. Evolution as explanation for the past seems like the same kind of thing as creationism, and creationism is only about explaining the past.
The lack of USB 3.0 ports I can understand. USB-C is the successor and, while still common, those older USB ports are legacy technology now. But HDMI is still current tech. The latest TVs still all use HDMI and requiring a special cable to hook up my laptop to a TV is a non-starter since the typical use case is hooking up my laptop to a friend's TV using the cable that's already plugged into their TV.

It feels like the removal of the HDMI port is an attempt to get people to buy an AppleTV. On this "pro" model of laptop, they don't want people connecting it to a TV. But, at least for me, this doesn't cover my use case.
What's the timeline like until I can buy(not pre-order) this?

Edit: would also be wanting the ability to completely disable any 'cloud' functions. That's a real no-go for me.
i'm deleting Hacker News from my feed reader until all these Macbook/Surface Pro articles are past.
Really it's just a question of track design as these are 100% predictable G forces. If you really need to turn you can just roll the cabin and keep these g's directly under you and or slow down apraoching it. Elevators can also quickly have a fairly wide range (0.8 to 1.2) g's and people don't really get sick in them.

Highways for example have fairly wide banks which people rarely notice. https://sterlingpearce.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_0054....
My point is being sick may have affected his abilities.
Container ships will have a dozen plus containers loaded across. Even if all the cargo shifted to one side of each container, the general balance of the vessel would remain roughly the same.

> it wouldn't had killed them to include some USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port.

Magsafe, USB Type A, HDMI, and Mini DisplayPort / Thunderbolt 1/2 are all literally too wide to fit within the width of the new laptop’s sides. They would have needed to make the whole laptop noticeably thicker or otherwise differently shaped to fit any of those. The headphone jack barely fits.
> models now are 16gb of ram only (can someone explain this one?)

Which other laptop were you going to buy that supports more than 16 GB? How much does it cost? What's it size, weight, color depth and battery life?

As far as I know, the new Surface Book also only supports 16 GB of RAM. Or the new Razer Blade. The Razer Blade Pro can have 32GB of RAM, but it is twice as heavy and twice the volume of the 15" MBP.
Are all the hyperloop proposals really for a single tube instead of a bank of tubes?
There are at least a couple of different online LaTeX editors out there that make collaboration pretty easy and take compile worries out of the equation. I've used both ShareLaTeX and Overleaf with success, but there are other ones out there too.

Multi-threaded builds of C++ codebases that make gratuitous use of template meta programming.
I think it's more basic than that. The company has no BATNA (Best Alternative To Negotiated Agreement).
Here is an explation by an FSF board member. https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/41713.html
Yup. But the site also says they weed out recruiters and vendors and the like, and I'm trying to figure out which side of the fence I'd be on. :)
The vessels made use of square-rigged sails, but also carried lateen, gaff, or fore-and-aft rigging, allowing for better handling.

Just to give a sense for the significance of this (and later steam): ships could spend weeks, or even months, awaiting favourable winds to enter harbour. Improved sailing capabilities were directly beneficial to all aspects of the shipping business.

I love this place. I want to see it in person some day, and I'm glad to hear they give tours. When the Mare Nostrum was first built, I sent the picture of it sitting in the middle of the church to a friend. He posted it on Fark, I think, and one of the comments was that the picture was an "obvious Photoshop"!
Lots of conversation between Armin and a few others about these approaches in reddit's /r/python thread for this article. I happen to think that gevent got a ton right, and the consensus seems to be that this 'new' approach is sort of half-baked, at least vis-a-vis python implementation.

Yes it is. He means the Chinese 'equivalent' which is called Weibo.
I don't disagree, but I'm not convinced it's worth $30 mil when at that time they were not sure it was necessary to warn people.

At that time it seemed like they felt they could find the good hoverboards among the bad (hence their program of asking for certification). Only later did they realize all of them were bad.
Depends if your goal is to solve the problem or act morally.
No.

This is about the "PC Event". Is patently clear MS have the upper hand and Apple was a huge letdown with the biggest backlash of the century so far (from the PRO crowd).

This is not about sales, but perception. Even when WinTel (before) sell way more than Apple, Apple get the "cool" vibre.

This was not.

And this is not as before, where the typical gloom and doom about Apple was declared.
I don't understand the distinction. Does that mean any DRM encumbered store would also automatically be in violation of GPL? I'm thinking steam, origin, or any store that doesn't like you sharing binaries with others.
I'm often noticing a ton of swapping going on, causing serious system-wide lag, when I have a few dozen Chrome tabs and two VM's running in addition to a few other standard programs which use a lot of memory (Slack).

It's not hard to rub up against 16GB in a standard developer workflow.
Forgive my ignorance - what implications does this have? Would Evolution run as some kind of daemon, and Geary just add the presentation layer on top?

Great work. Simple and fast, lets the work shine.
Having been a haskell programming I kind of think it's type system is too powerful. I feel like I run into more problems of being unable to figure out all the type-level hackery and abstraction in a Haskell library, than I do of "I wish I could have encoded this bug into my types".

edit: disclaimer: hobbyist, never did haskell professionally

It's a bit overkill (that's what we do as engineers though, right?) - I have a Raspberry Pi attached to the back of each TV that receives input from a small Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad/remote and passes the input (over UDP) to the appropriate VM.

Depending on the environment, wireless devices could be used with separate USB receivers (e.g. Bluetooth adapters) for each screen (passed directly to the VMs), but the distance in my setup was proving to be a bit too far for a stable Bluetooth connection.

I'm just using some of my own scripts right now to configure everything and allow for some meta commands (things like powering on/off the TV, switching inputs, etc). I'd love to clean it up and publish it at some point, but just haven't had the time.
Sorry, but you can't beat Brazilian standard committees. We are the country of 3 pins jacks, of Pal-M TV (not PAL, not NTSC), and of the ABNT2 keyboard.

Yes, our keyboards have 14 keys on the second line of keys. Even if your keyboard can rewrite all the keys on the fly, you can't make it compatible with the stupid Brazilians ones.

Try harder next time.
Yeah, I did read that about Vinge somewhere. And I loved that little callout to the unix epoch.

And you know, Git would be the perfect source control system for an interstellar species who various settled systems are separated from each other by light years.
The reason we stuck with jitsi-meet is that it could be self hosted on an semi-airgapped network, and not break without internet. Also, your friend should invest in a ssl cert, because your link goes directly to a privacy warning.
How Distributed Outer Joins on PostgreSQL with Citus Work
Absolutely agree there is a need for this. The website is obviously an MVP, but some feedback from someone who is squarely in your target audience:

* I am hesitant to sign up for yet another source of email without more information about the list membership. Do you already have commitment to participate from experienced CTOs with a public presence (such as Camille Fournier who you cite as inspiration)? That would certainly be an incentive to join. If you can't name names, or if you're bootstrapping and don't yet have names to name, then at least some information about the experience level of folks on the list would help: e.g. "15% of our membership has held a technical leadership or management role for at least 2 years".

* You might consider gathering some demographic information along with email address, for example to help address the point above.

* I'd like to know more about the expected participation model. Your description hints at a Q&A model where people submit questions for open discussion by the list membership, but "mailing list" suggests (to me) more of a broadcast model where the list operators submit curated nuggets of wisdom. As founding members of the community, you'll set the tone; as moderators, even more so.

* As you're building a community, I'd want to see a code of conduct - both to know what to expect from the moderators, and to be sure that people from marginalised demographics would be comfortable participating.

* Related to (and probably covered in) a code of conduct, I'd be more inclined to join a community with an explicit ban on advertising ("15% discount on my product for list members"), recruiting ("my team is hiring an iPhone engineer") and market research ("would your company use this product?"). Not that I have a problem with those things, but I wouldn't currently sign up for something that exposed me to more of them.

Which CPU exactly were you hoping for instead of i7-6920HQ?
Since it's polling for I/O events and doesn't use threads [1], it does indeed sound like a plausible alternative for doing non-blocking I/O.

I think I'm going to take a stab at using it, since asyncio doesn't have a mature ecosystem around it anyway.
