I have two problems with the new keyboard/touch bar layout. One, the ESC key is not on the far left of the touch bar - it ignores the "Mile High Menubar" concept. Now instead of just reaching up and blindly smashing the top-most left-most key on the keyboard, I have to look down to find the ESC key that's close to, but not quite in, the upper lefthand corner of the keyboard area.

The other problem is that they left in the Fn key. Why would I need a Fn key when I have a touch bar? Maybe we can map ESC to the Fn key. :/
Yep, same with the word "hacker": Some people like to call themselves a hacker when they simply made a meal or put some clothes into a bag nicely ...

Then again, isn't language always changing and words are constantly redefined, reused, ommitted and invented etc. Although we should strive for common definitions of words, we should also allow for change.

One thing you can try is Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu on Windows). It works unexpectedly well, even with apps X server.

For the sake of this comment I tried "sudo apt-get install gnome && DISPLAY=:0 gnome". It took 2 gigs and a while. Shame that doesn't work just like that.

> I don't get why people keep harping on the all-or-nothing idea behind Soylent.

Because that's what all Soylent's advertising and messaging has focused on?
> Soylent is for meals you don't care about but need.

But there are already so many meal replacements on the market, from companies that actually know what they are doing. Why choose soylent?

Soylent is not the cheapest. It's not the tastiest. It doesn't have the best macro balance.

Why soylent and not one of the trusted brands?
I like how the article transformed my view of Twitter. I never saw it as a kind of newspaper without a filter and I think I like the analogy.

Twitter does give a voice to people and the magnitude of participation by people on Twitter speaks for itself. Weither we (or anyone) _need_ to hear all those voices is debatable though. Maybe some filter is not too bad after all.
Ate about 50 bars and 10kg of Soylent, didn't feel a thing.

Five of my family members ate some amount too, and seemed fine.

How are they sure people aren't misattributing this to something else, or just being nocebo about it after the first news reports came?

I did have diarrhea a couple of times during last 5 months but why should I attribute it to Soylent?

I use the Function keys all the time while developing - mostly for debugging.

In IntelliJ, Visual Studio (through Parallels) and Chrome, the Function keys allow me to step through the debugger. It's pretty standard in my day to day workflow, and they all pretty much use the same keys.

Esc is pretty useful in vim and it's used frequently in Windows. I could remap a key, I just don't like being dependent on custom layouts since I sometimes have to switch between machines and I'd rather it be as consistent as possible.
As with all matters of psychology, YMMV. But it's definitely not for everyone.

I've been drinking the pre-made drink (2.0) for about 6 months now. I use it for a quick breakfast (3 or 4 days a week) that I can have during my commute.

Some day we'll hopefully get a re-write of the command line, and replace some of this stuff that is obviously just cruft... and cruft that you could see coming a long time ago (been using it since rails core switched to git). I remember a conversation int the mailing list where people were talking about re-aligning this stuff but they were also worried about adoption and consistency so they left it. Maybe with git version 2.0 they said. This was like 2009.

MS definitely is not paying attention to the high-end workstation market. They are paying attention to the trends of interaction and new interfaces that technology is allowing us. The product here is the new styles of content creation and the accelerated pace of current content creation via the form factor and accessory knob thing. If you have needs that demand extreme resources, you can probably afford to have remote rendering or processing using all of the myriad of wonderful networking technologies that have advanced so much.

It can't be an effective interaction device and a server-level resource at the same time. Anyone who is enough of an enthusiast to require a dual Xeon workstation is clearly not who MS is targeting with a single product. Leave the multicore server-grade towers to HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc. because there's nothing to innovate there - you just throw hardware, bought at market price, into a box. What is MS supposed to innovate on there if all you care about is specs/$ and ignore the design and use-case?

> I'm not sure how that was implied,

People here imply that people consume Soylent either because they cannot get enough calories in with normal food to not lose weight (what a luxury that must be), or, in most cases and as the direct parent writes, that they do not have time to eat 'normally'. That seems to mesh with the whole culture of fast food and minute day planning; I for one could not tell you if I have time for an elaborate meal or a quick meal at lunch today and I would not want to know if I do either. I'll see what happens when I get hungry.

> but that does not represent the typical American workforce in my view.

Not typical workforce; I'm citing some famous and very rich US business people. Just noting that these people seem proud of it while I don't hear the same stories (in the press) from anywhere else. And others (especially on HN) seem desperate to copy it (which is, I assume, were Soylent came from in the first place); people who cite this (time-hacking/life-hacking/whatever-hacking it is called) as a great feat are all from (=living in currently) the US when I check their profiles.

I've dropped the idea that IGF response is something I need in my life. Milk is ideally formulated to feed babies that need to grow into gigantic beasts.

It is also a very inferior product made with zero genetic engineering. Just silly crossbreeding until the cow has big enough milk gains.

Don't see how it's, from a nutritional or health perspective, superior to Soylent.

Milk is also super cheap because it's heavily subsidized through taxes. I'm not saving idiot entrepreneurs by buying their unsustainable products.
You can, but it pretty much is obsolete at this point.

"The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else." ~ Eliezer Yudkowsky

Skynet scenarios aren't what we should be worried about. It's the possibility of powerful self-improving AI systems which don't share our values because we didn't think things through properly in designing them. It may seem like they behave appropriately when constrained, but once they become smart enough to overcome constraints that apply to human beings, they could act in unanticipated (and undesirable) ways that we didn't consider. That's the challenge of designing a friendly AGI.
That we can all relate to it and bond over it doesn't mean that all of us want to. If I feel like being social, fine. But most of the time I don't feel like being social. Often that's the case even when I want to relax and enjoy food - I'd say maybe 3/4 of the time I go to restaurants I go alone by choice.

But just like I can, and occasionally do, enjoy social interactions but usually prefer solitude, while I can, and do often, greatly enjoy food there are still plenty of time when hunger is just an annoying disruption.

All of the stuff that you have built up around food can exist just fine separate from it. You connecting socialising and bonding with food is just habit. That's fine, but it isn't universal.

What is now known as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was actually designated as such only in around 325/6. At the time there was a temple of Aphrodite on the site; Emperor Constantine ordered it replaced by a church, and when his mother Helena went to visit the site, she claimed to have discovered the True Cross and proclaimed it to be the spot of Jesus's burial. Aside from that rather questionable and politically/religiously convenient claim, there's no other evidence for the site having anything to do with the historical Jesus.

Has nobody in their R&D, user-focus groups, etc., realised the inconvenience of now moving your focus between 3 disparate areas - the screen, the 'touch' bar and the trackpad.

With a touch screen, it's all on one surface. Using a mouse / trackpad it's all on one surface.

Sure, when using the keyboard, you have an additional surface, but then there are two things to offset it - touch-typing and keyboard shortcuts.

If you really want to help 'non-tech' users who can't manage shortcuts or mouse/trackpad.... just give them a standard touch screen.

Oh right. It's Apple.

Even using the phone would probably be more 'convenient' for most users in this category.

> "if you put some berries in a blender and drink it, you're getting entirely different nutrition from eating the berries raw!" That second one is a bit of a strawman, but it shows how absurd claims that crushing or grinding foods ruins the nutrition sound.

Well, for many foods this is 100% true. For instance, it's not the same eating raw garlic, than freshly smashed garlic (<10mins), than garlic smashed 20 minutes ago... because allicin (main active compound of garlic) is unstable and quickly degrades into another compounds...

Luckily, this hasn't happened with nuclear weapons yet.
Common Lisp has inheritance of methods, but it does not work on a class hierarchy directly. When a generic function gets called, the applicable methods are being ordered based on the classes of the arguments - not just one argument, but possibly many. A more specific method can call the next method. In some cases this is done automatically. This is inheritance, based on the class hierarchy.

CLOS also allows the developer to implement other inheritance mechanisms, by developing his own way to combine the methods of a generic function.

Why bother getting healthy in one aspect of your life if you're going to trash it in another?
don't worry, you're not alone. unfortunately i do have to skip meals occasionally but i always try to get something reasonable. eating an avocado with some seasoning, or other fruit like a banana, or some cheese, or some turkey slices, or a small bag of carrots, or hell even skipping a meal so i can eat a little more at dinner without blowing my calorie budget -- sounds infinitely more appetizing than drinking some lab-made slop that comes in a bottle. the possibilities are literally endless.

i've known since high school that there are some people out there that view eating as a nuisance but i didn't know there were so many that were in the tech industry. everyone i've ever known in tech loved eating/cooking/meals out/whatever (obviously i've been self-selecting my social group!)
