No, not laptops. I do run a few hackintosh desktops though. Macbooks are still the best (unless you are a heavy gamer). Over the years of having used a variety of machines, I haven't found anything close.

Build/Reliability: Probably more reliable than my IBM-era thinkpads. Excellent build quality, NVME, good battery life, slim aluminum frame, and one of the better notebook displays with retina. Trackpad is the best in the industry period, no one has anything as good or responsive.

Support: Very big support network. I can walk into a store and get a loaner, fix, or a brand new machine. If you don't have your own IT department this is a huge value to your startup/small business.

OS: If you want to develop for iOS there really isn't an option, so that's not a fair comparison. However, Apple supports practically every professional level software suites (Adobe, FCP, etc). OS X is also certified Unix with a polished ui and has pretty good compatibility with most of Linux/GNU with homebrew.

Block scoping (using const/let instead of var which is scoped to the function) alone is really nice, but I also make heavy use of destructuring, arrow functions, template literals, export/import syntax and promises. Es6 makes javascript more pleasant to code with, and can greatly improve readability.

es6 has become pretty well supported by modern browsers, so maybe after a year or so, we'll just be calling it "javascript" and running it without babel. I expect everyone to continue to transpile, though, to get newer features as they come, as the plan for ES is to release new language updates on a yearly basis.
Not 180, but you could buy that $15,000.00 go pro camera set for 360 video haha

Although I think truly immersive 360 video would require not only stereoscopic eg. Dual cameras per fov, but also that new camera technology that captures at multiple depths of field. Litho or something don't know what it's called. Then you can focus on different focal points of the video like up close or super faraway

To be fair, 500k, at least compared to some webpages, is actually a fairly small size. This isn't really a case where a percent of the total is useful.

I don't disagree with your overall points, but if you're using Visual Studio in such a limited way that you can possibly think of it as a "souped up text editor", you might as well just actually use a souped up text editor - it'll be a lot faster.

Udacity guarantees you a job offer as an employee or a contractor within 6 months from receiving your Nanodegree Plus credential (the Job Placement Period). Further, in your new job Udacity guarantees that your gross income from such job will be in excess of your cost of tuition (pre-tax) within a 3 month period following job placement.

3 months at (US federal) minimum wage is roughly $3500, well over a year's tuition.
Brummies born in Birmingham with brown skin are still Brummies, I suggest, just as the British descendents of Roman, Saxon, Viking, Norman, Jewish, Huguenot, German, Irish, Jamaican and American immigrants remain British.

That, and it's a bit cheeky to pray-in-aid Karachi as some kind of purely Pakistani city given how much influence we Brits have had over the place as a result of conquering it.

I'm the founder at Distelli and I just want to clarify that the Distelli agent doesn't typically live inside the container though it can. Its used to orchestrate the container lifecycle on the VM itself.

However if you're building Docker containers and deploying them we recommend using Kubernetes which is something that Distelli supports out of the box now - https://www.distelli.com
I woulnd't bother with SAS at all. Why waste time on closed-source, proprietary crap when there are other alternatives available? Oh yeah, it's popular, but so are other things, and we're seeing firms looking to ditch SAS in favor of Python, R, Octave, etc. these days.

If you want three languages / platforms for data science, a fine set would be Python, R, and (Octave|Scala|Clojure|Julia).

It was not directed against Ukranians as ethnos, period.

The scholarly debate on this issue is to say the least, very complex. You can't just say "it wasn't directed against Ukrainians as a people, period."

Khruschev was Ukrainian,

Khrushchev was born to poor parents of Russian descent. Anyway, while hardly a saint, he doesn't appear to had much, if any, role in the Holomodor. Chernenko is generally regarded to be of mixed background. As to Brezhnev,

Brezhnev was born on 19 December 1906 in Kamianske in Ukraine), to metalworker Ilya Yakovlevich Brezhnev and his wife, Natalia Denisovna Mazalova. His parents used to live in Brezhnevo (Kursky District, Kursk Oblast, Russia) before moving to Kamenskoe. Brezhnev's ethnicity was specified as Ukrainian in some documents, including his passport, and Russian in others. --WP

The most "Ukrainian" of any of these may have been Gorbachev. But we all know where he sits in the pantheon of "supreme leaders" of the USSR.

I just finished taking the first of their Android Basics courses (User Interface), and I thought it was excellent. The course was free however. I'd be hesitant to pay $200 a month though for the non-free courses. In my opinion, Udacity's courses are high quality, but also expensive.
I'm kind of shocked how many people here are talking as though they would actually include this in a codebase.
I bet most people who buy similar cameras are not professional photographers. The best camera is the one you have with you. Sometimes I carry the good, big one, when I know I'll have lots of opportunities to play with it but, similarly, I have left it at home more often since my phones became decent enough to take reasonable pictures.
There are so many. Some popular options -

Free and probably not easy: PD; SuperCollider; Csound; ChucK

Not free: Arturia Suite; NI Reaktor, Massive, Absynth; Serum; Sylenth; Nexus; Spire

They all have a different sound. Some are modular, some are straight analogue clones, some are hybrids.

I used to design analogue synth hardware. Now I design non-analogue software. The software does a lot more, is vastly less expensive, takes up much less space, is easier to keep clean, and much easier to move. :)

I doubt the touch bar will see much adoption, its on too few computers. If they were serious about it I'd expect a replacement keyboard for the iMacs as well as making it universally available on all their laptops.

It just won't make sense to target it for anything other than trivial features until it has more market penetration.
We remember Athenian democracy for its principle, not its actualization.

Aristotle thought that you had to be a large-muscled man to be truly virtuous. Just about every European Enlightenment philosopher had something nasty to say about "savages" or women. Look past their period-specific blind spots, and their theories continue to hold weight.
I interviewed there a few months back and I gotta say I'm not surprised. Granted all of the people I met were really smart and seemed to know what they were doing but at the same time the product direction was...confusing to say the least. They also want to get more services and software going to monetize but it wasn't clear how they were going to monetize any of it just that their software needs to improve and be usable by other cameras not just there's.

It sounded like a cool place to work but I was a bit worried about their next 2-3 years.

Clearly, it means you write database logic using C++ extended stored procedures [1], business logic in C++ middleware using something like CppCMS [2], and then write all your front end code in C++ and deploy it to the browser using Emscripten [3]

Realistically, though, it's probably just a misinformed/careless/hopeless recruiter. Most likely misinformed, or inadequately informed. The recruiter's client probably has something specific in mind when if the asked for a 'full stack' C++ developer.

Since you'll find C++ running in everything from embedded devices to phones to cars to airplanes to mainframes, there are so many 'stacks' that one could be referring to when talking about 'full stack'. Usually, full stack developer is used to describe someone who does both front and back end web development. While you could be a full stack dev who writes C++ on the back end of a web app and JS on the front end, it's not a very common combination.

On the other hand, at least the code has gone through some review.

Compare that to NPM or PyPI, which is full of crap.
Some of the modules in PyPI were merely ads for putlocker, without even a single line of Python.

Can you open arbitrarily large text files/directories in atom these days? Whenever, I open anything over a few thousand LOC atom seems to lock up for me.

Ok, i hyperbolated a little, but you still can buy a apartment and pay much less than renting it. Only issue is first payment, but this is no a very big problem for good software developers (they can find extra 100k in first 3 years of career).

I believe that Software Engineer can find 1m$ in 30 years.
Where is the coverage of the content of the Wikileaks emails? The Project Veritas undercover investigations of Clinton pseudo-PACs paid to cause violence at rallies? Huma's connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and Omar Naseef that funded Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden? That the Clintons were involved with child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein, or that Bill flew to his child rape resort island over 20 times, often refusing Secret Service accompaniment? That Hillary has been involved with child trafficker Laura Silsby for at least 15 years and personally got her off the hook during the Haiti crisis? Any mention of George Soros?

It's all completely, intentionally ignored, in favor of ridiculous false allegations against Trump. You cannot name a particularly egregious sycophant for Hillary because her handlers own the media.
I blame the browsers. There's no deep reason you have to introduce a piece of javascript to hide stuff from the browser so that it can load the page normally, and then add back the fonts. If browsers cared about making the web usable for everybody more than they cared about making web page look like slick native apps, they'd do it for you.

The way browser internals work is already designed for that. if the network is slow and you get only half the html, half the css, miss some images, or whatever, the browser will render as best as it can with what it got so far, and re-render when it gets the rest. The fact that it doesn't do that with fonts sucks.
That's rather undeservedly flippant.

Actually I picked a dying field at uni. Well, not a dying one, but it's become very difficult over the past 10-15 years to find a job doing digital hardware design. Fortunately I gave up on that quickly and switched to software (something I was lucky enough to start picking up well before uni).

But I think that misses the point. We shouldn't halt progress in the name of job security. I'm fine with slowing progress a little; hell, even in the US it's customary (even though not required by law) to pay a decent severance package during layoffs. But I just don't get this whole idea that you're entitled to a job (and job security) just because you trained for it.

I also don't get the resistance toward retraining, aside from the obvious issue that retraining takes time and money, and in the meantime you have to feed and shelter yourself (but this sort of thing can and should be solved via social safety nets). Sure it would be easy to be able to have a single job for the rest of your life, but that's just not how life works, or should work. Things get obsoleted all the time, and that doesn't mean we should legally require private enterprises to keep paying someone to do useless work.

I do very much object to how difficult it can be to vanilla fire someone in many places in Europe. They've gone way too far with that one. Extra protections for layoffs are fine, but if someone is consistently underperforming, it should be possible to get rid of them immediately and without any sort of severance. I've been at a couple very small companies in the US where the lack of ability to do that sort of thing could have killed the company.
The standard tuning MySQL comes with is a good example, pretty crappy for anything other than a small website! However that's what it excels at and I would guess 90% of its userbase! Anyone who needs it for something bigger will know how to tune it :)
>What is it with devs and small houses?

I think it's the creation/building aspect. Tiny houses seem to be within the grasp of an individual to build. Kinda of like building an application, it has the same aspects - designing, architecting, building. At least this is why it's attractive to me.

I agree that their Intro to ML course is top notch. I recommend it as the number one resource for anyone looking to get into the field. The instructors do a great job breaking down over a dozen topics, explaining them at a mathematical/theoretical level, then explaining how to use these concepts in Python and finishing up with a mini project.

However, their Deep Learning course was nowhere near as helpful. The instructor dove into complex topics and skimmed them lightly without offering much context. The exercises required me to do a lot of research outside the course to complete them. I essentially had to teach myself the topic. If the course had cost money I would've wanted a refund.

> Nobody wants to pay for a 40yo person with a family to spend years retraining when they lose their job and can't find another, so what is there to do?

That's the thing I don't get. In the grand scheme of things, it is much less costly to an economy to pay to retrain someone than it is to pay them to do a redundant job. It's even less costly than doing nothing and kicking them to the curb.

No, at least in the foreseeable future. As a dual career developer and pro photographer/illustrator, apps/utilities are more important for my work than the underling OS and Linux's creative toolkit is not there (yet?).
I just got back from visiting family in Turkey.

Turkey is in a really weird place. On the one hand, Erdogan is a corrupt tyrant who has done some inexcusably horrible things. On the other hand, he has thoroughly cleaned the cemaat infestation. For the record, cemaat refers to people loyal to a man named Fethullah Gulen, who is a radical Islamist and a very controversial figure in Turkey. You can read more about him here:

http://www.city-journal.org/html/who-fethullah-g%C3%BClen-13...

Anyway, Internet blockages like this usually precede widespread police operations. Based on what I can gather from Turkish newspapers right now, it looks like HDP headquarters is being raided by the police as part of a terror investigation (which is kind of a big deal). HDP is a pro-Kurdish, pro-minority party that got a lot of votes in the last election and prevented Erdogan's AKP from reaching parliamentary majority.
Also the word complain in the title should be report the whole point of a study is to identify side effects.
That won't work. The ability to discriminate is a big selling point to hosts. And there's nothing wrong with certain forms of discrimination. Hosts have limited recourse to deal with bad guests. My parents rent out a spare building on their property and they're very conscientious about reviewing each guest. When a guest leaves too large of a mess, they get lower than 5 stars. And since their property is rented most nights, they refuse to rent to guests that have more than a few negative reviews. Since people are renting out their homes, this type of discrimination is necessary to make them feel comfortable.

Where discrimination becomes wrong is when it's based off race or some other protected class. I've said it before, but the way to fix this isn't to deny hosts the ability to discriminate at all, but to withhold the information that hosts need to discriminate unfairly until after the booking has been made. If a host is forced to choose to accept or deny a booking without seeing a picture or knowing the name of the guest and only being able to look at reviews, time on AirBnb and such, then you retain the ability to discriminate against people who have a history of being bad guests without giving hosts the ability to use race or some other unfair characteristic of the guest to determine whether to accept the booking.

But, as others have mentioned in response, AirBnB wants to give the appearance that it cares about unfair discrimination without actually dealing with it. Too many of its hosts want to discriminate in that fashion. AirBnB will do the minimum necessary to address the bad PR and do whatever it can to make it seem like they care about those guests affected, but really doesn't want to do anything about the issue.
What if, somehow, there was a guarantee that the code can't harm your machine -- would you use it then?

This isn't a joke.
Yeah, because more information that's been vetted by the FBI on a presidential candidate is somehow a bad thing.

This is like arguing against having more information in a court case.

Think of coming up with one of these theories like writing a complicated computer program. Sometimes the whole task is too big to even think about, it you sort of understand one part of it, so you work on getting that part sorted out as best you can, and hope you can somehow figure out the rest of the program later, and it'll be useful.
