My original point was that the € price for a maxed out machine appears much higher than previous MacBook Pro launches, regardless of sales tax. The USD conversion was just a side note.
So does this mean that the Emacs folks have finally won the battle on Macs?
It's not that it's hard, it's just the logistics of running the virtual machines(s) and the applications they contain. You could use a minimal linux distro like Alpine or Tiny Core, but you still need to run applications on top of that if you're testing or developing.

Spinning up a basic devstack instance (for example) take a minimum of 6GB and that's before you even deploy any test vms inside that infrastructure. Another example, if you're doing config management development you may need several VMs running which in turn may have (say) large java apps with heavy memory requirements even when fairly unladen.
So, I guess the answer is, it depends on what you're doing and what the memory requirements of the thing you're running on VMs is.

Nothing. It is a term generally used out of respect or formality like gentleman or Lord. Though I guess there are usages where it is just a gendered pronoun.

The only context I've seen where 'lady' might be offensive is when some men enter a room full of other men and addresses them like "hello ladies".
These phones can't literally be used as a grenade.

Parody "an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect." "produce a humorously exaggerated imitation of."

On the other hand "satire uses the work to criticize something else"

So, simply having the phone fail in the same way as a real phone might not be Parody. Randomly cutting to a nuclear detonation would be.

Again: These phones can't literally be used as a grenade.

PS: Also, the line has nothing to do with how good a parody is. Bad art is still protected.
Ah, thanks, that makes much more sense. I hadn't noticed that was mock server-side code, I thought it was advocating "vanilla JS" as a client side framework, using string-bashing as a template language.

I'm not sure if the new MacBook Pro's Touch Bar is usable under Windows.
Well, let me put it this way: banning people for threatening violence against other users in the name of social justice costs Twitter opportunities due to being unacceptable to a large chunk of the tech community (and I'm not even talking about them doing it to right-wing blowhards like Milo).
Maybe so. But the author says "drown" not swim. I presume you knew how to float if you weren't afraid of the water?

I have seen adults that refuse to take lessons because... because... they are afraid.

So regardless I still say it is pretty crappy metaphor.
Yikes, yeah I've heard the build quality is not up to par. Even the base MBP (no touch bar) is a tough pill to swallow.

Yet when Apple revived the old screen size with the iPhone SE, it sold extremely well.

Some of that is the price, but there's clearly a significant contingent of users who prefer smaller screens.

That's great news! I didn't know it was still actively developed. I played with it... criminy how many years ago did it first start? I liked it then but it was brittle and slow.

It looks great now, functionally and speed-wise. Obviously computers themselves changed a lot in that time to give the speed improvement.

Looking forward to playing with it again now.

>The psychology replication crisis is much worse than any other field.

The article doesn't get into this.

Coming from a physics background, I will not say there's a crisis, but:

1. Few research is replicated.

2. We who did physics research were very unconcerned about whether our results could be replicated. Our journal papers were very concise, and it was common practice not to give all the details needed to replicate, partially due to paper size concerns, but very often also to keep the "secret recipe" to ourselves as a means to prevent others from conducting future research that we want to conduct (need less competition for grant money).

3. Pick any researcher in any field of physics, and ask them: "Can you list a few papers published in the last 15 years that are highly cited that you think are completely wrong?" Everyone will have a list like that. Everyone.
This is another great reason for serious power users to never buy the first generation of Apple equipment. Historically a quick refresh comes out, and it sometimes takes two gens to get it right.

Glad right now I timed my last Macbook pro purchase to have a year of applecare left on it, and it could easily last me another 2 years thanks to being maxed out when I bought it.

Apple is a company looking to maximize it profit as well as build good products. A lot of laptop manufacturers are starting to catch up on the hardware side (the new Zenbook).. it's just the MacOS experience that someone has left to create an equivalent to.
Presumably this is exactly why my father learned to sleep with his eyes open while caught behind enemy lines in Vietnam for, as I understand it, a month or more.
> There's also a lot of little things like REPLs, runtime metaprogramming, blah blah, that used to be solely the domain of dynamic languages

If you go read the Xerox PARC, DEC and ETHZ papers you will find REPL goodies using static system programming languages with automatic memory management.

The Xerox ones even did correction suggestions when compiler errors happened.

This my biggest issue with the MBP. WTF are they thinking here?! Why didn't the iPhone7 port get switched to USB-C from lightning if they knew the MBP was going to USB-C/TB3? The whole point of Apple products is that they work better the more of them you have.

Macbooks run Windows, but the driver support is pretty horrendous from Apple. Basically, they say it runs and stop supporting it after that. I cannot get a graphics driver update at all. Another good example is that TRRS does not work at all for Windows and this is 100% a driver issue.

Yep.

The best piece of career advice I ever got was to work in departments that are profit centers, not cost centers.

I've seen the dynamic play out several times: the employees in the profit centers are treated well, and the employees in the cost centers frequently need to justify the existence of their department and their jobs when management decides to cut costs. It's pretty clear who has the better job security and job satisfaction.
I'm not sure if you're being facetious but for those of us who enjoy playing video games a desktop is the best choice. If you don't care about portability, why not get something that is by far more powerful, cheaper, customizable, and future-proof?

Yes, my personal machine is a late 2008 Macbook Pro 15". The screen alone on the new one would be an amazing, huge upgrade.

The touch bar looks very cool to me. I think it's a great idea that will get copied (poorly) by other laptop manufacturers in a year or two.

A lot of good ideas look bad at first. Remember the eternal warning of CmdrTaco's iPod review. Not that the touch bar must be good because it's getting panned now... just saying, I'd give it some time. UI changes are always controversial. Quite a lot of people swore in 2007 that they'd never give up a hardware smartphone keyboard. The first Droid with the slide-out keyboard got a lot of praise. Ultimately, though, we can see where the phone market went.

What I've noticed common among a lot of Americans is a fear/inhibition of speaking the truth, mostly to not have a confrontation.

I witnessed an example of this in a music performance of a teen rock band.

In this performance, the band sucked overall. The guitarist didn't know what he was doing. But everybody (guardians, parents, teachers, friends) just keep saying, "Great performance brah, awesome shit, good going guys" etc.

While this feedback raises self-esteem with positive feedback, there is no criticism of where they failed...at all!! Who's going to tell them, "Hey, your timing on the G-C chord switch sucked"?

When these same kids go for a "real" performance/audition, they suck at it, fail miserably and thus causing anti-social behaviors, anger, and in extreme cases, suicides.

I personally believe in a system of constructive criticism where positive feedback is necessary for the kids, yet someone actually tells them that they can do better in this, this and this area.

Irrationally high/low self-esteem is a bane for competition.
Nah. Already pretty happy with my Dell XPS 13 running Fedora Linux. I imagine it'll be a couple of years before distros really take advantage of the 3200x1800 screen anyway.

It's hard to know, because the definition of suicide has changed; the way it's recorded has changed; and religion in the US means some deaths by suicide are masked.

But, in general, yes, suicide rates are rising for young people. This is worrying because young women were for years the group at lowest risk of death by suicide. (But with high rates of self harm and attempted suicide).

(US media has terrible reporting on suicide, but this one at least has some details) http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-04-22/cdc-suicide-d...

I don't think this is going to really be a thing, aside from fairly specialized use cases. Some devices with integrated cables are going to require adapters (and, fortunately, an A->C adapter is tiny, or carry one of those Anker 4-port USB hubs that's the size of a pack of gum), but I'll just buy new five-dollar cables for my type-B devices and not really care too much about it.

Having to re-buy all of them is a drag, I am totally not saying that doesn't suck, but I'm not worried about having a bag full of them.
I'm in San Francisco right now, a dense, large city with a huge tech-savvy population. There seems to be one other person online at the moment. I guess there are probably more online elsewhere in SF, just not within 1km of me.

Adapting the radius to match the number of people available seems like a great idea. If there's only one person within 1km, step up to 2km, 3km, etc. until some number X of people are available. If there are too many people, step back down.

Its very easy to remap keys in OSX. Its in the Keyboard Settings.
Servo has a solution for that: it runs all origins in separate threads. (Note that this goes further than Chrome does; Servo runs cross origin iframes off the main thread too, while Chrome does not.)

Gecko is solving this too, with Electrolysis and Quantum DOM. But because the architectures are so different at the DOM level (direct bindings vs. an XPCOM/direct binding hybrid, tracing vs. reference counting, off main thread layout vs. main thread layout, Rust serialization vs. IPDL, etc.) the Servo solution doesn't directly apply to Gecko. So Gecko and Servo are working on their own solutions mostly independently, rather than sharing code as in most of Quantum.

10 Best Ways a Postcard Is Used for Marketing Your Business
Increases utility over what? If the ports all match, you can choose to carry 1 or 2 cables depending on whether you want to make 1 or 2 connections. Since the ports don't match, you need a cable for each type of connection you might want to make.
Just as a little addendum to that:

The theory of statically typed languages[1] is progressing while "dynamic" languages haven't actually had many real advances since e.g. Scheme[0] first appeared. Sure, there's small things around ergonomics, immutability (Clojure, especially), but really there's been very little true advancement[2].

Personally, I think either static (dependent) types will win[3] or we'll just end up implementing different custom static type systems ad-hoc[4]. My reason for having more confidence in the former rather than even more formal methods is that there are very few math-like/truly spec-level languages (e.g. TLA+) that can be mechanically translated to a meaningful program. We need something intermediate, but so far (to me!) Idris[5] has seemed like the only remotely credible contender in that you can pretty much choose arbitrarily how much provin' vs. how much assumin' you want to do.

EDIT: The current hype (in frontend especially) seems to be around 'gradually typed' languages like TS and Flow, but AFAICT they are basically just a very poor man's ad-hoc version of dependently typed languages. (Concretely TS/Flow do have a huge advantages in that it's really easy to introduce, but personally I had no problem transitioning gradually from ES6/traceur to Scala.Js/React just by adding strongly typed shims where appropriate. If your application is so tangled that you cannot introduce such shims in various places, it's probably tangled enough that you'll want to do a full rewrite anyway.)

[0] I think Scheme was the first to introduce first-class continuations. That was a pretty major advance in terms of expressing, for example, search algorithms by just rewinding to a previous continuation. Of course, since then "we"(Felleisen, specifically) discovered that delimited continuations are perhaps better -- but that was a 'refinement'.

[1] Aka: languages with more than one type.

[2] Of course, some might interpret (pun!) that as a sign that they're "perfect". However, we still get loads of bugs in dynamically typed languages, so surely there must be something to be improved upon, right?

[3] See e.g. "State Machines All The Way Down" at https://eb.host.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/drafts/states-all-the-wa... (DRAFT)

[4] See e.g. "Type systems as macros" at http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/stchang/pubs/ckg-popl2017.pdf (DRAFT)

http://davidchristiansen.dk/drafts/elab-reflection-draft.pdf ; video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqFgYCdiYz4 . It shows just how much provin' you can do with just a little bit of ad-hocness at compile time.
I totally agree and configuring linux can be very time consuming, but there are a lot of distros available that do not require any configuration. Generally installing and getting going with Ubunutu (or a flavor of it) is faster and easier than dealing with windows and device drivers. I don't think that justifies a reason to not use linux or at least try it to see if you do like it.
My current MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) is doing well for me now--no rush to get a new one.

> The addition of the fingerprint scanner alone is a win

Interesting. Every other laptop has one these days, but I haven't really seen people using it much. It seems more like a gimmick.

Fingerprint scanner on a phone makes more sense, because it lets you to unlock it almost as quickly as if you didn't have any lockscreen security, which is a big convenience.
Spectacular.

What people don't understand is that the reason Apple stays so far ahead of the rest of the industry year after year is their ability to integrate software and hardware, which as Jony Ive says in the video, is unique to Apple.

If you're writing code I can't maintain, my preference is to pay you less. Writing code that is easier to maintain is one sign of a good developer.

I don't want to pay you more because its too painful to lose you. I want to pay you more because its wonderful to have you.
