Please give the clarification you state below. I'm curious what happened in the scenario you mentioned.

if you need my retracted comments for some reason they're here - http://pastebin.com/EPXJTgEE
I'm due for an upgrade here at work, so yes. Probably going to get this <https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/usb-c/owc/usb-c-dock> or something like it so I can plug into everything. That's really what I'm looking forward to: put down the laptop, plug in ONE cord, and everything is there. Thunderbolt was almost that, but TB3/USB-C can also power the laptop itself.

As for the Touch Bar, I believe that it can be good. It will remain to be seen how good it actually will be, but I'm looking forward to it for the time being.
And like lifting weights, if you go too hard too fast you'll get yourself into trouble. Except lifting doesn't make your neighbors' muscles sore.

This is what I was responding to.
I'm surprised to hear anyone running Java in the trading industry. Isn't speed a huge factor in that industry?
I'm all for more exposure for female engineers. I think more visibility for women will help to make the industry more accessible and more inviting to women. And there are tons of useful questions you could ask, ranging from non-gender specific technical questions to sexism in the workplace. But starting specifically with kids and relationships seems a bit too sticking to the "women are about kids and relationships" stereotype, whereas men should be every bit as much about kids and relationships.

Lenovo dropped it from the X1 already.
The "most disappointing mac event" really? Too young to remember 2006 special event where Mac minis with new intel cpu and the exciting Apple HiFi?
The touchbar is close to the screen though. Is it really looking down much more than just looking at the bottom of the screen?
HOW DARE YOU APPLE
That was the initially scoped solution. It turned out that a lot of other actors had information management & sharing problems of a similar scope. Well before commercialisation of the Web.
This is, quite simply, incredible. My team was looking for something to replace Pixate even before Google announced they were shutting it down, and just having watched the first tutorial, it feels like we're done looking.

I feel silly jumping to a nitpick at this point, but I see one obstacle for my team: There doesn't seem to be a way to enter custom screen sizes, apart from eyeballing it with the resizable window setting (we're designing for a custom-built Android device). That's probably not enough to stop us from using it, but it would be great to have the option.
I am kind of surprised that this wasn't already regulated, considering that telephone privacy has been an issue for decades. Perhaps this is a case of an unwritten common-sense policy that is only being codified when ISPs start to break it (e.g. AT&T's now-canceled "Internet Preferences").
You're absolutely right. I was focused on the subset of kub-based platforms which are container-focused and are overlapping more and more with Docker.

But you're right, kub itself is a neatly generic orchestration component which can be used with non-container things. That is an excellent reason for decoupling the underlying container runtime.
Interesting anecdote. As a father I feel nearly the exact opposite so I'll share my opinion.

On academics, I want my kids to learn how to learn. And to love to learn. I want them to learn to be persistent, have mental fortitude, be formidable, take risks, be collaborative, and not be afraid to fail. They should learn to be productive in whatever aspect of society they end up in. I want them to be happy. Lives are short. Childhoods are shorter. Striving to be the best at math and science academically gets a "meh" sort of reaction from me.

Yes we need those skills, and raw academic achievement is an interesting measurement, but, I'd like to see some convincing stats that it holds a causal relationship to national productivity per capita and GDP. I'm guessing that would be the goal of an education, in terms of the economy.
Most (all?) government jobs are like this. My wife is a GS something step something else (I would say, but I can never remember). You can find the public matrix and COLA adjustment based on location and know her exact salary. This is true for all federal employees that I know of.

Performance is how you move up GS and step levels.
What do you need "a brighter display" for? Or "2.5x more bass in the speakers"?
Am I missing some sort of joke here? These are exactly the types of pages that I would recommend avoiding.

If your're hoping to convince employers of your technical skills I would put examples of your work up front. Unless you're applying for jobs where "unique" UIs are valued (designing ad agency sites?) then it will actually detract from your goal.
Heh, it's like salting their location.
HP does as well with their ZBook line.
So, you bring up a really good point:

Whereas the MBP completely loses the utility of that weird touch bar thing in that same setup.

The majority of professionals seem to use the MPB with an external display and keyboard, so the new MBP keyboard will not be touched at all.

Maybe they will update the bluetooth keyboard with a display?
Or even an RX480. It could have had 8GB of fast VRAM for less than $300.
Cognitive dissonance?

When people tell you you are great at something, but you don't know, or can't talk about it, and feel you can't live up to your parents/teachers expectations, that's a lot of stress.

Also if you thought you were great at something in school, but actually you find out you suck in the real world, if that was a major part of your identity, some people just can't live with that.
I have the same machine you do and I ordered the new machine as soon as I could. Two external 5K displays is a huge unlock for more productivity.

I know someone who had a problem because they didn't disclose it and the other person ended up harassing them so it would've been waaayyy easier if they had talked to HR about it before.

A constructive criticism isn't a one-liner on HN.

If you're skilled enough to show how that transition works, show it to them and make them learn it.

Hexhedria just reminds me of BlogSpot
Too many USB types now. Basically if you want the fancy new MB Pro, you have to sign up for new accessories or lots of ugly (and probably flaky) adapters all over the place. I totally get it, but it's annoying at the same time. I wonder if the Refurb Apple store is going to get nailed...
It might not sound like it but it actually is quite helpful - translated it means "you are not doing well at a very basic thing and need more practice" because if a guitarist, on stage, can't hit a G-C chord switch competently, then there's really not a lot of wiggle room. They...suck...and need to be shown ways to improve. A lot of times the self-esteem-based response will dismiss the criticism as 'being mean' or some crap when it's actually totally valid.
Your comment made me wonder how common it is with birds and it seems to be trait shared with all of them[1]. Pretty interesting. I asked my friend if her bird does that and it only seems to when it's not in a deep sleep yet, but eventually it will close both eyes.

I'm amazed this is the top comment. I've seen skid-marks in the toilet that looked better than worrydream. And the user experience is completely banjaxed. Scrolling with the mousewheel barely changes the Y-position. My vim plugin keybindings don't work. Fucking pagedown doesn't even work. Ugh.

Also notice that DougK (the commenter) has been kind enough to post his own site (which fucking sucks). Turn down the narcissism.
That is a theory. There are many other theories too. The OP's observation was that we don't really have a firm grasp on which theory or theories is/are correct, in the way we (believe) that we understand something like the nature of chemical interactions, or the limits of finite-state computation. Sleep, like many many other functions of the brain, not the least of which being its most recognizable function (to us), remains something speculated about without broad consensus. As per the fantastic quote in the linked wiki article,

"As far as I know, the only reason we need to sleep that is really, really solid is because we get sleepy."
The question is how much code is inside the kernel protection boundary. All that code can potentially be exploited and can crash the kernel.

I don't think that the Surface Studio is where computers should go. It's not relevant for 95% of users.

Imagine having to develop Apple products on another OS, how frustrating that would be

That future seems to almost be here.

Or the ecosystem will be abandoned.
I learned a long time ago already not to trust my memory. For example I'm trying to find a piece of text in a book, or a specific story in a newspaper my memory might give me a clue, which would be something like "it's on that page next to that "red thing" or "there's a story on the opposite page about xyz". I never trust this anymore it's a wild goose chase.

A good thing to think about how biased your brain is, is to think of that time when you were witnessing that wonderful sunset and you decided to take a photo. Later you look at the photo and it doesn't look at all like you remember. Why? Because it's your brain playing tricks on you. You have a built in image filter in your brain that adjusts the image and your memory of it whereas the camera sees it "objectively."

Once you become aware of all the cognitive biases you just get tired of listening to people talk (about anything really), when it's full of logical holes and anecdotes. In fact it becomes painful especially when listening to some electoral candidate / politician talk about stuff that might actually matter. sigh
I haven't used it yet, but I probably will start because the algorithm seems to be keeping posts in the first few pages longer. Theoretically, if you hide everything you're satisfied with having seen, the front page will always be full of undiscovered articles and conversations.

Also, I'm sure that some statistics are being kept on what's frequently hidden. My hope is these statistics will be used to improve the algorithm.
As a manager, I've always felt that I have zero incentive to pay anyone under a fair market rate. I also have always managed salaries in such a way so that if we had open salaries, there wouldn't be any surprises and no one would feel they weren't being paid fairly.

Most people I know in similar roles to mine act in a similar way. So I'm not so sure that most companies are really out there trying to underpay their employees. In terms of running the business, I want to pay people fairly for a good day's work.
Google Earnings: Strength Drives Alphabet Profit Higher
You have dirty contacts or a plug which doesn’t seat properly. Try wiping both sides with a dry q-tip (this is Apple’s recommendation) or use one soaked in isopropyl alcohol.

Sometimes little bits of magnetic debris can get stuck in the computer side, e.g. iron filings, staples, etc. You can try to get these out with Blu-Tack or similar if the q-tip doesn’t cut it.
Can you expand on that? Or link the talk?
> Microsoft introduced an entirely new kind of tool for digital artists

Actually I believe they introduced a competitor to the Wacom Cintiq that comes in a variety of sizes and does not require you to use a desktop or Windows 10.

Calling it 'an entirely new kind of tool' is really over stating it.
Yeah 16 gig is what i have now.. it's starting to become a problem. I'd like 64 better.
No. If I were going to, I would be looking at the 15" and there isn't enough of a performance advantage to do so. On top of that, while the touch bar looks interesting I'm about 85% sure that it is somewhere between completely wasted to useless for most of my workload. I hate looking at the keyboard ....

One other thing ... the lack of a magsafe connector is an issue as well.
Nope. I have a 2012 13" retina which, after a lot of very heavy use and at least 12 trips around the earth in my backpack, is starting to show its age. It has been a good machine and I'll miss it. But at £1,500 for a replacement, there's no way I can justify that -- especially because I'd also have to by an SD card adapter or a new camera, and a headphone adapter or new headphones. Call it £1,600 to £1,900 in all.

Not worth it when I can get a really nice zenbook for less than half that price and put a good OS distro on it. I'm sure I'll miss MacOS but that had been on a downward trajectory for years anyhow.

Edit: and killing HDMI? Good gods, no. Just no. I use that every day, in multiple locations. If I had to use singles I'd go through one per week. Absolute deal breaker.
>The flaw in your logic is that it's the ads that's the primary motivation for bad actors to push their unwanted pages to the top.

Yes, that is my opinion.

> I would want my blog page about me and my book to be at the top of search results when you type "Paris" in the search box. It doesn't matter what ads are showing in the side panel. It also doesn't matter if ads didn't exist at all because every Google user would pay a $9.99/month subscription. Either way, I still want my webpage at the top so that some percentage of search users click on my (non-ad) link and buy my sightseeing book.

Okay, but that is simply marketing. You are not assured of any monetary compensation if someone visits your website or clicks on a link. Its like 'buying' influence in a bookstore to make sure your book is displayed prominently. I was primarily thinking about the SEO surrounding link farms and other similarly abhorrent web sites.
not much different than any app store, which not even the author can validate the binary wasn't changed
For me solid state > moving parts. Faster and run cooler.

Edit: afaik the only moving part in the Surface Studio are the fans. Replacing a fan is an annoyance but at least it won't lead to data loss!
That only works if you come up with lots of different job titles, which is probably a good idea. It's just pretty hard to implement for many companies: most non-tech companies don't have 10 different levels of software engineers.

I've had plenty of experiences where people in equivalent job titles had vastly different productivity (and, justifiably, vastly different titles).
>32GB RAM

Everybody asking for more RAM, what do you use it for? I have 8GB and they never seem to become a bottleneck.
> The addition of the fingerprint scanner alone is a win

I think security minded folks in IT are not going to be thrilled with these. A fingerprint being an identifier, not a authenticator and all that.
The IGP on the CPU is considerably more power efficient, the dedicated graphics can be pretty much switched of for anything non-Gaming or GPGPU related.
My point is that many of these systems have hundreds of eyes on them. If one person finds out, and doesn't like it, they can blow the whistle.
I am assuming the decision-makers do not realize the importance of the developers to their success in mobile at all.
IMHO it's an issue.
According to Apple's support site (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206587), the range of computers that support 4K at 60 Hz is a bit bigger:

- MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

- MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

- Mac Pro (Late 2013)

- iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) and later

- MacBook Air (Early 2015)

I do for one. I have capslock mapped to Ctrl. Of course, I started in EMACS and got sucked into vim and had already gotten used to the capslock as Ctrl.
What's interesting is that it's a dual volte face; Apple produced a gimmicky consumer-oriented iteration whilst Microsoft gave us something genuinely innovative, gorgeous looking, but aimed at a high-end, professional market with the money to spend. It follows on from Apple giving us desktop users a transparency abomination straight from the Windows Vista era. What is happening?
I have a T460p and I'm very happy with it. I can't give you a precise battery life but I've stopped plugging my laptop in when I'm using it outside the house. The only problems I've had have had to do with running Linux with a high DPI screen.
I don't believe it's possible to create new posts from the website so it's essentially being put into read-only mode.
I have a newish iMac 5k and a really old '11 Macbook Air. I'm due for a laptop upgrade but don't see the value. Touch Bar doesnt excite me at all (who wants to look down at their keyboard). Magsafe saves my butt at least once every couple months - thats gone. And while a 2TB SSD sounds great, it's not essential. Especially not for an added $1200. The non-Touch has 16gb of ram available so I might grab that if I'm desperate and/or the Air dies.
Too bad you are not a VP at Apple. They could use that sort of thinking.
Could you point me to the right spot? I thought I better check it out since I just ordered a new MBP, and figured I have time to cancel.

Best 15" model I could find was the latitude 15 5000.

Fact that majority of comments here in MacBook Pro topic are about Surface Studio and whether people still use desktops, and not nearly enough comments about Touch Bar--the only real innovation during Apple event--says a lot about both events.

"It's obviously NOT meant for typing heavy workloads. Secretaries and programmers coding will not use it when doing their thing."

- That's exactly what I understood as well.

I can see the touch bar being a boon for people who produce music through their macbooks to have a control surface.
Hello, first in the pile to beat up Mz, should we get started then? I'll back you up: "Boo boo Mz! Stop claiming things!"
They said it was a second gen. Touch ID and it has the same sapphire surface as the iPhone's so I expect it's the same as the 6s & 7.
You go on and on about specs. Nobody cares about specs. Just see this MacBook landing page, it's full of meaningless percentage numbers.

70% faster, they could just as well write "new recipe".
I really wish there was a prototyping tool that could serve as a learning tool to jump from being a designer to a programmer.

The problem with tools like Origami (and Framer.js) is that you need to know coding and many designers just don't know it. Thus, they stick with easier solutions like Principle. It would be great if a tool could start off looking like Sketch and slowly become Xcode as I learn more features and become more experienced.

Twitter to shut down vine
You should also do "undefined vacation" - the company that I work has, as far as I can tell, no vacation policy. People do take vacation, but it has never been mentioned as a coherent thing.

Another good one would be alcohol and alcohol related events... I really see no reason for those to be in the workplace, since they're not work. I am male but I hear so many stories from (non-engineer) female friends about creepers in bars, so I worry about that sort of thing moving into the workplace.
I think we would be all much more receptive to their innovation if it didn't also include the removal of important features like the Escape key, USB type A, HDMI, and headphone jacks.

If they replaced function keys with the touch bar and left everything else alone (save for faster components), I don't think half as many people would be complaining.

Well, except for the space part. I honestly think it could happen. There's also a lot of gut bacteria and other micro-organisms that are alive on their own.

I'm wondering more if this spacesuit hit something like a comet, asteroid, or other small body before hitting a planet. If a part of the living ecosystem makes it to a secure nook or gets folded inside of the asteroid, it might survive landing on a planet.
> I'm sure they are far more programmers than video editors on Macs

One would thing so, yes, but by reading these HN comments it seems that the only "professionals" worthy of the "pro" name are photographers and video-editors. There are even a couple of comments dismissing vim users (?!) for daring to touch-type, or something similar.

It doesn't matter if you have amazing depth in XYZ or you know about many things, no one cares and in one year all your knowledge will most likely be obsolete.

If you're going to "learn" something, make it universal. Learn to communicate (written and verbal), make friends, have experiences and learn to be empathetic and check your ego at the door.

The truth is, life is short and you will never master anything let alone become great in many things, so why try? What's so bad about being technically "decent" and exude the universal skills listed above? I'd hire that person any day.
UK prices are absolutely batshit crazy, I know, Brexit, but oh my God. Middle range MBP 13" has gone from £1100ish to £1749. Bottom priced one used to have 128gb SSD and now has 256GB, but they've crippled it by only giving it 2 TB3 ports where the others have 4.. and it's still £1449.

they already went back on it because it wasnt apple quality. apple always waits until its refined, but you cant give them credit for creating the idea.
I agree. I think it looks great and I'm pretty excited about using the new interface.

I do more than just code. I love working with photography and audio/video editing and this new touch bar looks amazing.

I also travel a lot, so this trend of making smaller, lighter machines is a huge plus.
