I can't turn off my internal voice at all, except in meditation, and even then it's difficult. I have to spend quite a lot of time where my internal voice is doing nothing but counting breaths, before eventually/sometimes, I can just observe the breaths without counting them. Otherwise, I have a continuous monologue, mostly in my own voice.

I can think in images, but the images are never completely without narration.
I guess we know where Apple comes down in the vi vs. emacs war.
Agreed. To me all the demos of the touch bar looked awkward and could've been replaced with far better functionality using a touchscreen.

Hopefully it's more appealing when actually using it.
And the wild thing is, the ports introduced today aren't even USB-C; they're Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C are not the same, right?
Might be a OK solution if it was not that OSX continuously losing Bluetooth connection, the mouse paring when switching mouse is buggy or you want to play computer games at all.
Apple's answer is adapters, ala headphone jack on iPhone 7. Probably not a good answer, but that's the party line it seems.
Denmark doesn't have any oil, you're probably thinking of Norway.
Anybody know what software is used for the design renders/exploded views? Keyshot, Maya, Blender, something else?
With W10 having usable Ubuntu built in I can hardly see a use case for having a mac.
I've had an idea like this in my head for awhile now.
One use case, you're at home and something just happened, large car accident, loud noise, etc and you want to be able to chat with the people around you while sitting on your couch.

When stuff happens around me when I'm sitting at home I find twitter to be too slow to update and it has a lack of information anyways.

But then you're just dealing with the same network effects that twitter is having trouble with.
Denmark has free oil? I think you're thinking of Norway. Danes have melancholia.
I find the back to back introduction of the Surface Dial and the Touch Bar to be interesting. These two input devices are going to rely on developer commitments for any real level of success, but why should developers spend time on them when they will only be available on a relatively small percentage of devices? If these were web browsers we would all be complaining about standards, but there seems to be little blow back because they are OS level devices. Meanwhile this would seem to be a big headache for developers of cross platform software.
Based on your continued responses and the fact your feelings are hurt, I'm wining this battle.

(I'm guessing you are millennial snowflake?)

Where can I sign up for your fund!

Oh I can end this fun... well because I do have better things to do:

You are right and I am wrong, there you go do you feel better now?
This is the proper response.
With exploits, you can easily fix them. The problem with this sort of algorithm is that you have people directly competing, and there's no objective measure of site quality. The system has to use what it can measure, and this means it's gamable. Security through obscurity sucks, but it's better than having nothing at all.
The Air-equivalent only has 2 TB3 ports
Yes, for domestic flights Executive Platinum flyers (basically 100K miles or more each year) get upgraded to any open first class seats for free. At other levels (50K+ or 25K+) can also upgrade to available empty first class seats, but it can cost a small amount.

Well at least these github repos and gists are an improvement beyond "here, download this .apk from megaupload and install it!"
This is why we send our kids to a home daycare (mixed with a couple days a week at a more formal french immersion preschool).

Our home daycare teacher is fine if they've got a bit of a temp or sniffles, and I think my kids are stronger for it (other kids there get sick too, but we haven't had many bigtime infections passed around).
Amazon grocery plans to add 2,000 stores within a decade
I've been waiting for this for since Solaris. Thanks!
I had the same thing happen with 2 pair of wired sony headphones with the around the ear holder. In both times just one channel fried though :(

Have you used any non-bluetooth headphones that lasted?
Parts of Quantum are addressing this, and also Electrolysis will also probably grow to fix this as well. You can already turn on multiple content processes in Firefox to get Chrome-like behavior (at the cost of some rough edges; there's a reason it's not currently the default). I think the setting is dom.ipc.process-count in about:config. I have mine set at 10.
meh

I'm sad that i waited this long only to be disappointed.

It was a COO's view of being innovative.
Welcome to the world - a place where perception matters more than reality.

This is why every single company has giant marketing departments and this perception informs so many of our decisions both consciously and unconsciously.

This is the real danger that apple is in - that how it's perceived is changing even if its products continue to be superior.
In the meantime, can I have my buttons plz?
All of them :)

Pipes are too specialized, localSockets are kind of a pain, etc.
According to the spec:

One 4K display (4096 x 2160) 30-bit @ 120 Hz

One 5K display (5120 x 2880) 30-bit @ 60 Hz

Two 4K displays each (4096 x 2160) 30-bit @ 60 Hz
Many developers use mechanical keyboards - I haven't seen any with Bluetooth (typing this on a Das Keyboard Ultimate)
Correct, but why would you use 3 screens when you can use just 2? And anyway I use external keyboard with numeric keys and a magic mouse instead of the trackpad. So why should I keep my Mac open anyway?
You can't use the touch bar with the lid closed.
It's sort of like the very serious risk that public officials will try to influence public affairs by directly misleading, or classifying information that should be freely available because it is embarrassing or illegal, and then using their monopoly on violent coercion to keep things as they like.

I have a hard time getting riled up about the lesser actions companies may potentially take confronted with the reality of the actions governments do take.
I don't remember the details, it was around a year and a half ago. But I do remember I had some trouble trying to optimize a few queries with gorm complaining about something and the other guy I was working with didn't understand it much and since we were early on development we scrapped it and went with sqlx.
I don't get how it can be unbearable in 10 minutes on a laptop. It's not going to be much further away from you than a tablet would be, and people love them their iPads. If the experience was -that- bad, nobody would be buying iPad Pros.

And it's not as though you can't continue to use the keyboard, touchpad and/or mouse.

I'll admit, when the Surface Pro first came out, I mocked the touchscreen too. I thought it would create Gorilla Arm. Then I actually got one and used it for an extended period of time. You don't even notice that you're touching the screen.
Of course, so are newspapers.
People have short memories but the X1 Carbon Gen2 had a dynamic key strip that was so bad that it got replaced with physical buttons in Gen3.
If you don't mind me asking, are you moving to somewhere in the biomedical industry?
I seem to be the most "prominent" openly female member in terms of forum participation. My research indicates that the short answer is "no."

It has gotten better over time, but there is lots of room for improvement.
I thought that they also thought that they were getting higher rates of return with their Madoff investments than the deferred interest of his contract?
No, but the ports are dual-mode. Plug a USB-C thing into it and it's a USB port. Plug a Thunderbolt device in and it's a Thunderbolt port.

Similar to the dual-mode mini-DP/Thunderbolt ports of the past.

The ports introduced today absolutely are USB-C.
Back in the 1960s, the USAF did practice runs around some US cities, including Cleveland. One night there was quite a sonic boom, which I remember chiefly because my grandmother nearly jumped out of her chair. I think that we may have heard others in those days too. I believe that was a B-58 that produced the sound I remember.
Even Paint 3D was more exciting than this keynote.
Also there, this one 5 years old has its own ribbon and all the keys with pictures!

Given the opening of the Keynote and the focus around accessibility, I'm really curious how Touch Bar will work for non-sighted users. Will it require running your finger over the controls while VoiceOver relays the context of the button? Or, will the Touch Bar require "focusing" where a user swipes through the buttons, similar to iOS?

Personally, I don't need application aware function keys (sure, emojis are cool in messages...) and would love an option for the 15" MBP to have physical keys, similar to the 13" option...
Touch typists and sophisticated users are distinct, but overlapping, sets of users.
I think pretty much all ThinkPad models have had the option of an fpr for a while now. Dell and HP have also had TPM-based fpr in their business machines also.

I honestly don't know if how Apple Pay works is the same as how MS plans to do things. They had Microsoft Wallet before but it didn't go anywhere. I expect to see something from MS over the next year or two but as they failed so hard in mobile and clearly don't care much about trying to fix that at the moment I am not sure how much of a priority it is to them.
idea about anonimyzing tracking - maybe work with single-use disposable hashes that are part of a memory-less system that tracks site-visits ?

it would register access to the website, add an interaction token to the pay-to database and forget who it was that visited.

if you keep to an honorable "do no evil" philosophy, this should work.

i'm sure the temptation to use a large database of collected visit data to optimize ads is appealing from a financial point of view, but since your product is about avoiding tracking, it should fit and keep it popular enough to remain sustainable.
Thunderbolt 3 supports 5K at 60hz, it was even part of the keynote.
https://thunderbolttechnology.net/tech/faq
So does Delta.
that's interesting, I could have sworn I heard them say it had more travel distance, or maybe it was the impression of more travel.
Any decent fluorescent scope + base + optics + laser + dichroic will run you well north of 250K. Just the objectives are 10-20K. Two photon, more like 750. You want to do funny stuff like FRET or PALM or STED? You'll spend 700 grand on parts, and a year building the thing yourself because nobody sells them.

You will not publish anything good enough to get tenure if all you have is widefield and a lamp in basically any biomedical field.
Will there every be way to write probes/tracing scripts without dropping into C? I don't mind C in general, but I don't want to have to dig out the documentation for the eBPF C library and start writing hundreds of lines of C every time I want to run a trace.

DTrace made this really nice, because you would write your tracing scripts in a high-level, awk-like language, which is the sort of thing well-suited to the purpose.
"We took that track pad that your palms occasional rub against and accidentally move your cursor.... yeah we took that and made it extra big so your wrists will now participate in cursor screw ups"... think different.
True, but on the laptops they did it on already declining technologies, like removing the CD/DVD drive. I don't think that USB is dying any time soon, no matter how great USB-C is.

I'm actually kinda surprised that they didn't remove the headphone jack. That would actually be a really effective way to push the adoption of USB-C :)
Virtual machines

Edit: for comparison, Lenovo T460p can be configured with quad-core i7, Nvidia GPU, 32GB RAM, 1 SSD + 1 HD/SSD, replaceable battery, 1.9mm key travel, base starts at $800 with many components user-replaceable, http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t460p...
Super classy how they froze accounts and tried to browbeat people into admitting they paid the pass holders. Jeez.
Thunderbolt is a multiplexed port. Typically, you plug it into your big screen. The external keyboard, mouse and speakers are attached to the big screen. Now your MBP charges from that cable too.

No need to tell me that your use case is slightly different. You can't please everybody.

Edit: I just discovered that the LG screen Apple is selling as a proposed match for their new laptops does NOT have legacy ports on the back, but just more USB-C ports. This seems very dumb. I don't want three $39 dongles on the back of my screen.
They are a v2 of the MacBook keyboards, and I believe they said that the v2 has more travel compared to the v1. That's what the OP is saying.

Not sure how that v2 would compare to the current MacBook Pro keyboards.
I'm not sure i agree with either methodology (The one in #1 is just, IMHO, strange), but i'll agree that you have proved somebody believes it :)
The Surface Studio isn't really just a desktop PC - the whole swivel stand and touch-screen thing makes it a really interesting proposition for people who do a lot of creative and design work. No, it's not mass market, but it is a lot more interesting than anything we saw today.
You can use ctrl-[ instead of esc in vim.
I'm pretty sure our office of 300 people only has desktops in, so saying that no one uses desktops is a bit much,no? Also, all of our artists(~80) have the CintiQ 24" Tablets, which can now be replaced by the Surface Desktop. It's a fantastic device, if you have a use case for it.
> in an era when nobody uses desktops anymore.

A lot of people have desktops, myself included. I'm not really sure where you got such an impression.
Battery life was mentioned: "up to 10 hours" (all machines).
I hate to take away from the complaining in here but I actually think it looks pretty nice. I was pleasantly surprised with the interactions they demonstrated with the new ribbon display. I knew they were going to announce it and didn't think I'd care but I will walk away from the video with the feeling that I want one.
Gotta use more emojis in my Swift code now.
Yeah that's a bit confusing. I'd attribute it to the "press release" nature of Wikimedia's blog where they mean that they have already partnered with the Internet Archive and are announcing it after the fact.
> and it has two thunderbolt ports.

On the same side, not good.
Apple reiterates that I can't ever afford a MBP
From what I understand, they are merged. Meaning that USB C and Thunderbolt 3 are compatible, but you will get more throughput when you are TB3 to TB3 than when mixing with USB C (I may be off!)
>And only $39 a pop for USB-C Lightning cables.

>That's some balls, Apple.

No, that's courage. /s

Although I'm surprised they left the headphone jack if removing it is supposed to be "the future".

There seems to be some discontinuity between the Macbook and iPhone lines.
nice to see someone with a similar idea to mine!
Compatibility in new engines is ... hard. Servo is basically going to need to spoof the WebKit UA and duplicate a bunch of WebKit bugs (the Edge approach) or spoof the Gecko UA and duplicate a bunch of Gecko bugs. Some specs now have an explicit "does your UA say you are Gecko, or does it say you are WebKit" switch with behavior specified for both branches. :(
'Current Course?'

I've been hearing about Twitter for 7, maybe 8 years, working in and out of startups and corporate developer culture.

There's universally one thing I've always heard about the company - 'what's their plan?' 'how are they going to monetize?' 'where's the money coming from?'

This hasn't changed, or even become more or less obvious in almost a decade.
Chomsky would strongly disagree with you - he is of the opinion that market pressures, and more importantly, access to people of power, turns mass media into an echo chamber, parroting narratives that do not diverge very far from the orthodoxy.

It's a form of soft influence - nobody needs to walk into a CNN office with a baseball bat in order to keep them on the straight-and-narrow. CNN does a good enough job policing itself.
Your comment feels like something I could have written a few years ago. I made the transition following a eerily similar same path. I did a PhD in experimental particle physics, then a postdoc offered though a Medical Physics Program (though not actually related to clinical radiation therapy) that I took largely because it allowed me to stay in a familiar location. I was stressed and needed a change. I was reading up on data scientist and data analyst positions but did not feel confident in applying.

I started attending software meetups in my city and chatting with folks. Meeting others in person was key for realizing the given the breadth and pace of the field, there would always be something new to learn so I needed to take the job posting "requirements" with some grains of salt. Someone encouraged me to attend a recruitment night his employer was hosting, and I figured it would at least be good interview practice. I ended up getting an offer and have been a Software Engineer for three years now. While the referral surely helped, the practice of explaining my experience to programmers at these events and learning where my skills were applicable and how to translate that into the jargon of the software boosted my confidence to actually attend the event and interview.

There were some rough patches at first, being thrown into a front-end project with practically zero experience in html and javascript, but in the end analysis code and front-end code are both debugged with breakpoints, test data and when that fails printing to the console. Recently I have been dusting off my analytical skills by playing with machine learning frameworks and hope to take my career in a direction that builds off both my academic and practical experiences.
What standard are you applying to distinguish "insecure" from "secure"?
This doesn't sound like my experience. New parents maybe, but with 3 kids, I have taken literally 0 sick days in the past year (I did WFH 1-2 days last year where I wasn't sure but turned out I could even workout on those days).

Back when we had a single kid we did get sick more FWIW.

> Microsoft introduced a 28" desktop PC

No. Microsoft introduced an entirely new kind of tool for digital artists. I'm not one myself, but the Surface Studio makes me wish I were. And the people I know who are, are over the moon about it. They can't wait to get their hands on one.

Yes, it's Microsoft that hit it out of the park, and made Apple look amazingly weak by comparison. Today's event wouldn't have been particularly impressive even on its own. By comparison with yesterday's, it's just embarrassing.
Man...this just feels like such an epic letdown. All the new "killer" features just seem like gimmicks. I could care less if there's a touch strip (that I have to look at to use) on my keyboard. I also don't give a shit if I can scan my fingerprint instead of just typing my password to login. The hardware is also just not cutting edge (the price is though). Such a huge disappointment. It seems pretty clear that Apple just doesn't care about their desktop/laptop business anymore. And all this after months of waiting to purchase a new laptop since Apple delayed their normal product schedule.
As a mother with children, the idea of a sick room is terrifying. It's bad enough to bring a sick kid (or even post-sick kid) into an office full of otherwise healthy people, but the idea of my kid then being incubated in a room with everyone else's sick-kid germs, touching things and sleeping in the same sleeping bag... ick.

As a manager, my policy is that the worse thing you can do is infect us all. If you are sick, please, quarantine yourself! Work from home. You will not be dinged for working at home, but if I end up sick, I will be grumpy indeed ;)
How can I help break up the monoculture? I try to check in to DDG every few months but I'm just not satisfied with the results.
Ugh. I don't know what to do here. I've been waiting for Mac updates for ages, and this is what we get. My 2008 Mac Pro is maxed out on upgrades, and has been on the fritz lately. I can't go forever on an 8+ year old machine. Especially one that is no longer "officially supported" by Apple, and now requires 3rd party patches to install Sierra and its updates.

Microsoft's Surface presentation yesterday was VERY tempting.
I think it's also interesting to note that for the first time Apple is lagging behind in term of CPU generation when introducing redesigned MacBooks.

The new MacBook Pro are said to be using 6th generation of Intel CPU (Skylake) when you have already on the market the 7th generation on Intel CPU (Kaby Lake). You are even competitive laptops using them already: http://www.gsmarena.com/new_dell_xps_13_laptop_comes_in_rose...

As a web developer, I think something like this laptop with Windows 10 is becoming more and more interesting. With Ubuntu native integration in Windows, you can even run the Ubuntu versions of the full stack including Node.js, Mongodb and Rails. 100% matching your deployment environment.
The overlap between the Macbook, Macbook Air, and old and new Macbook Pro lines now is painfully weird.

https://gist.github.com/icopp/29f225279a39ba9e3ea0d1f596e97c...

I'm getting serious shades of "IBM clone vendor throwing darts at a board to try to appeal to every possible price point" instead of coherent product lines here.
Clearly Apple believes there are more people like me (with bluetooth cars, headphones, keyboards, and trackpads) than people like you. Anyways, his "100 out of 100" comment is comically wrong.
Any information on how? I've been trying from a while, but keep getting bogged down in all the new terminology and constant changes to .NET Core...
I've never in my adult life been sick so frequently as when I shared an office with a parent who'd moved his young school age kids from the east coast to the west. I really liked him, but the experience was awful. Every 8 weeks I was sick.
Almost everyone I know has a desktop. In fact, the only people I know don't are my parents and people who only need a laptop for email.
I happily paid $1,200 for my graphics card, and while that is too much in general there is definitely a demand for high end computing and gaming.
Sure, this doesn't really apply but if I worked in a creative position this machine would be a godsend.
The 15" is capped at 16GB RAM???
The USB standard has evolved along the way. It is ironic that you "prefer USB" devices but fails to show support for USB-C ports.

(Edited to be less personal)
All four ports are Thunderbolt 3, which is USB C compatible, plus some extra features.
The issue is that the MBP line previously had zero of these ports and now they have zero of anything else. That means we have to go buy adaptors so that we can use our hard drives, power adaptors, iPhone/iPad charge cables, and other peripherals.

It's nice that these aren't proprietary cables, but I'll have to spend over $100 on adaptors, or wait two years until there are cheaper alternatives.

Lastly, there may be 4 ports in total, but since 1 is used for charging, there are effectively 3. Not a deal-breaker going from 4 to 3, but definitely a problem going from 2 to 1 on the low-end MBP.
The great language convergence is happening! It seems like everyone is moving to expressive statically typed, compiled, functional, oop languages. Not that I'm complaining.

This means that we might actually get a language that becomes the new c in terms of popularity.
