> When was a notebook ever the choice for running multiple VM's or heavy editing of video?

When they became powerful enough to do it, and so more cost effective for companies to just buy laptops for everyone, rather than provide desktop computers as well as laptops for those that need to travel. Alternatively, when open plan offices and hotdesking became popular.

Everywhere I've worked for the last 5 years I've been given laptops as my main/only development device. Admittedly I'm not generally running multiple VMs, but 8GB isn't enough for my workload, 16GB would be, but I could easily see others wanting more for a future proof work laptop.

As for graphics and gaming, a few years ago they did have models with Nvidia graphics, and that doesn't seem to be the case now. That said, they were usually mid range GPUs, and Intel graphics have come a long way in that time, so there's probably not a huge difference in relative performance for modern games.
I second this; check it out even if you're not the type to usually read scientific papers. This is a fun one that's not hard to understand.

I'm sensing an impending gangsta job shortage. I wonder if machines become better at being outlawz, then might these individuals pursue some form of higher street education to keep up?
As far as I know, IS/LM hasn't been the keystone of anything since the 1970s. They've been mostly replaced by DSGE models for the purposes of macroeconomic policy. So I'm curious about what "standard macro models" you're referring to.
Lots of CRPGs understand that gamers want to explore different identities, and thus have strong character customization. But conflict in the game is often framed around violence and murder. It shouldn't surprise anyone that lots of people find violence and gore simply disturbing and don't want to engage it. In fact, that's what happened with the author's cousin and Skyrim: she was playing it obsessively until her "friend' died. What turned her off was not the limits of technology, but the game's violence.

When I read that she didn't like "Journey" because the snake could kill her, I thought back to how much I hated some of the ridiculous cheap death at the beginning of one of the first games I played, the original "King's Quest III" here http://icdn8.digitaltrends.com/image/kings-quest-iii-screens... (which I presevered through, although it seems like she would not). And it's true that many of the women I know who occasionally play games like things like "The Secret of Monkey Island", which has puzzles and RPG elements but dying is impossible. "The Sims" is another game with a large female audience that focused on building and exploring social interactions and identities. And IRL you can't actually lock your kids in a closet, drown them, or set them on fire, like you can with digital dolls.

Thinking in terms of board games, social games like Liar's Dice and Werewolf don't require good AI. Pandemic is a huge hit as a game without any social conflict at all, where the players are collaborating to solve puzzles (the game).
I doubt that they will reduce the price of the car because of this as they stated they want to use the money to invest in the Network.
I'm afraid Apple is thinking exactly this way. As a 'Pro customer' I know that I can and probably will end up paying more for 'less' eventually and get one of the new MacBook Pros.

But for the first time in my life as an Apple user (just short of 10 years, I think), for the very first time I feel the price is only barely justifiable and I actively looked into alternatives.

I suppose the fact that I couldn't find an alternative that was good enough validates Apple's current offering and pricing. But it's a solid chunk of goodwill gone, and the moment I find an alternative that is good enough, they'll lose at least one well-paying customer.

And even then it's probably not a problem for them. They make so much on their mobile devices that the Pro can be an afterthought.
Maybe this helps:

Nobody said you can't use wind energy for more than one thing. In addition, demand isn't static (for a village). Whereas demand is static for the heating of the greenhouse, and only changes twice a day for the lighting. So wind energy could be utilized more efficiently.
I don't fully get why I am being downvoted. The first rMB was released with third generation Intel CPUs in mid-2012. The corresponding third generation Intel CPUs were released to the public market only in 2013:

I guess in the case of pornography, both participants are being paid by a third party (the producer) for taking part in the sex act. This is different from a typical prostitute/client relationship, where one is paying the other for sex.

Sorry about that, I sometimes do get condescending when I feel strongly and am pretty certain that I'm right. It is a problem, and I do want to learn how to make a strong point and not be condescending.

Do you feel like my language was more condescending than the comment I replied to? I reacted to what I felt was more or less outright sexist language.

"There is nothing to support the author's typical feminist schtick of using diversity as a shorthand for blaming white men for the problems observed."

I realize I may be wrong, but I have to admit that I felt like my language, while a little more personal, was more measured and less condescending than that.

KDE5 Breeze looks pretty nice actually, and KDE looks like anything because it is that adaptable, so it's not even sensible to assert an idea like "KDE looks awful" since there is no look KDE doesn't offer, so it can do awful or whatever you think is amazing.
Certain statistics are usually inflation adjusted, like GDP.
Real Gross Domestic Product measures economic output adjusted for inflation or deflation.
If inflation is 20%, and you're earning 3% interest, your losing purchasing power.

You raise a good point. I would never purchase a GTA game because I find the whole concept morally offensive, but I am very intrigued by the exploration aspect you have described. I would love to see more focus on exploration in games. A lot of RPGs (like the Elder Scrolls series) have significant aspects of exploration to them, but tend to get bogged down in the fetch-it quests or lots of repetitive hack-and-slay.

I've got nothing against combat elements of games, but if it falls into endless repetition and involves lots of grinding, etc, to advance, then it just becomes work, not fun.
I wonder if approaches like this will work for poetry (or prose) from different cultures. I'd be especially interested to see if some of these techniques are effective on languages markedly different from English. (Maybe Chinese and Arabic?)

If you used any stateful password manager instead of a piece of paper, then the passwords would be stored in an encrypted fashion. Don't give out your master password and your passwords are useless to an attacker.

If you use a paper based solution, just alter the passwords you write down using some additional information only known to you - maybe some prefix or suffix and the list would be useless for an attacker.

If you think they can force you to divulge the master password or your password scheme if you're using paper (they probably can, see https://xkcd.com/538/), then LessPass won't be of any help to you either.

I'm a researcher working in propulsion technologies at NASA. For what it's worth, the "Eagleworks" guys at JSC are basically doing their own thing that, as far as I can tell, is outside of any peer review process. For the life of me I can't imagine a team at one of the research centers (GRC, LaRC, ARC, GSFC, JPL) getting away with that.

I'm guessing that they're running off of resources from center-level micro seedling funding.

On one hand, the effort is probably costing next to nothing in terms of FTE and procurement. On the other hand, they're giving the public warp-drive level expectations, when the agency can barely afford to keep the lights on for a manned spaceflight program.

Every Windows laptop I've bought has worked perfectly, with zero defects.

Same thing for my wife. And we're both heavy users who use our machines all day for work. We've had every brand of PC and never had any problems. Ever. Not even kidding a little.

The only problems I've ever had were with Apple hardware. Their laptops would overheat and the Mac OS would crash often. In every Macbook Pro I've had, the batteries died sooner than any other laptop brand.

Macbook Pros are terrible overpriced crap. (But they're really thin now, yay!)

Furthermore, upgrades and repairs are next to impossible or a real pain in the butt with Apple hardware. One of my Apple machines is a 2012 Mac Pro that I want to get a new video card for - but can I go to Amazon and just buy one off the shelf? No. I must go to www.macvidcards.com to get a card that works fully. I must also buy special, non-standard internal power cables for it.
You can probably fit a device on your car that will make it legal to drive on "safe" roads. Something that actively looks out to prevent crashes and doesn't let you drive over the speed limit, for example, but doesn't actually steer the car. Similar to how when new laws on exhaust emissions passed, you could just upgrade the exhaust system without buying a whole new car.

I'm close to making a similar decision. But then I think about not having the convenience of Time Machine (and seamlessly moving to a new laptop), apps like OmniFocus, the quality of the trackpad, the 'just-works' sleep mode and a bunch of other things, and much as I hate to admit it I still end up at the MacBook Pro line...

That's one of the criteria, yep.

Another one is legal forms required for producers and actors - there are forms that each actor must fill out, these must be verified and kept. Not doing so is a felony.
Points one, two, and three seem to be mutually contradictory. I understand the counterintuitive part of comparative advantage. Your fry cook should concentrate on what he's least bad at. But maybe he can take a computer science class and become better at that.

In any case do you at least acknowledge that this stuff isn't clear cut? Or at least far less clear cut than the naive theory presents it?
That's a demo for future technology.

And it's more of a concept video. I wouldn't be surprised if it was exaggerated with assumptions (like say Tesla knowing the maps layout + sign placements on the roads+lot), because the real problem is far from being solved. Even google uses high resolution maps for it's cars.
A lot of the Thinkpad comparisons are based on nostalgia, IMO. I used to love Thinkpads, but ever since they went to Lenovo, they've been steadily going downhill.
Freud made many important contributions. He invented psychotherapy, and many of his ideas about human nature, such defense mechanisms, are quite insightful. Perhaps most important is that he was the first to try to think in detail about the psychological development of the infant and child.

Freud has gone out of date in part because the science has just moved beyond some of his key ideas. His theory is based on a set of ideas about the mind of the infant that were largely speculative. In recent decades a real empirical science of infant psychology has developed, and it turns out baby's minds are quite a bit different than Freud thought.

Psychotherapy has also become much more effective, thanks to methods like cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition, in America the practice of Freudian psychoanalysis was usually restricted to psychiatrists, which made it unavailable to most people. Non-analytic psychotherapy is practiced by psychologists and counselors, and so is far more available.

Another factor in this country is that Freud's gloomy and rather authoritarian Middle European philosophy just doesn't fit with the general optimism of Americans.
Having a CLI doesn't mean they are close. In Google cloud, you still work with VMs, cluster, schedulers. In Hyper, you work only with Docker, everything is container native!

Per-second is perfect for Serverless, Data mining, CI/CD, etc. It is simply not cost effective to go with per hour/minute rate.
I think it may be hard to point to bad "experiments" of Freud's, since he didn't conduct psychology experiments the way we think of today, i.e. the gold standard being double-blind randomized controlled trials. In part, this is because it's somewhere between difficult and impossible to do this kind of research in a clinical setting. In part, his lack of solid experimentation was due to the immaturity of the field and the difficult of ever doing rigorous experiments in therapeutic psychology; in part, he was just not a great scientist, anyone who argues otherwise is just engaging in apologetics.

I think that calling his brain science "junk" however (which I'm not accusing you of, just repeating your characterization, which is definitely a position some people hold) is a bit uncharitable, partly because in retrospect all of the nascent "brain science" from that time was pretty junky, but also because he was aware and often explicit that his writings were highly theoretical and speculative, e.g. his writings on the death drive, and his writings on politics and civilization were often cases of him just following lines of thought to see where they went. I think some people take Freud too seriously here (though he also sometimes took himself too seriously).

Yep. It's entirely possible that Perl 6 is an amazing language that will make me incredibly productive, yet I'll never think it's convincing enough to learn because I'll look over other people thinking like me, and won't see they trying.

It's also perfectly possible that it does not add much value and I shouldn't mind learning it.

And there's a lot of effort required to discover what of those is true.
If they can get the trackpads to work as well as the Mac's, and offer some kind of Apple Care equivalent that isn't shitty (maybe they already do?), I'd be interested.

It looks like faster payments are still allowed, as are in person chip and pin and cash withdrawls.

My guess someone (either insider or via technical means) has got a list of all the debit card numbers, ccv and account details - maybe even 3DSecure/VfV details?

People are then doing loads of payments via online cardholder not present.

Going to be a pain to figure what is what on this.

You're missing the power price you have to pay for more RAM. This is not an Apple problem. This is a physics problem.
I'm surprised there aren't more mentions of Tasks in C# or F# on the .NET platform as examples of asynchronicity done well.

From the perspective of uniformity and availability, while C# provided asynchronicity via callbacks before the introduction of Tasks in the 4.5 release of the .NET Framework, all the core libraries that used callback-style async (as well as some that had been strictly synchronous-only) were updated with Task-based overloads, so there are no problems with Task-based async being inconsistently available. Additionally, adoption of Task-based async in third-party libraries has been high, so it's relatively uncommon to encounter code that does not support it.

From the perspective of code productivity, it's hard to get much better than simply adding the async and await keywords where necessary. As a very simple example, consider a typical server application that receives requests via HTTP, processes them via an HTTP call to another service as well as a database call, and then returns an HTTP response. The sync code (blocking with a thread-per-request model) might look something like this:

void handleRequest(HttpRequest request) {
var serviceResult = makeServiceCallForRequest(request);
var databaseResult = makeDatabaseCallForRequest(request);
sendResponse(constructResponse(request, serviceResult, databaseResult));
}

In order to make that same process async (non-blocking with a dynamically-sized thread pool handling all requests), the code would look like this:

async Task handleRequestAsync(HttpRequest request) {
var serviceResult = await makeServiceCallForRequestAsync(request);
var databaseResult = await makeDatabaseCallForRequestAsync(request);
await sendResponseAsync(constructResponse(request, serviceResult, databaseResult));
}

It could even be taken one step further to make the service request and database call concurrently if there were no dependencies between the two which would reduce processing latency for individual requests:

async Task handleRequestAsync(HttpRequest request) {
var serviceResultTask = makeServiceCallForRequestAsync(request);
var databaseResultTask = makeDatabaseCallForRequestAsync(request);
await sendResponseAsync(constructResponse(request, await serviceResultTask, await databaseResultTask));
}

I've added asynchronicity into a C# server application as above with substantial improvements in both individual request latency and overall scalability. I'm now working on a Java8 system and bemoaning the comparatively primitive and inconsistent async capabilities in Java8.
Human drivers are still a fear for me. It seems that it's every other day that I read about people being killed in the streets by cars. Just this weekend a driver mowed down six cyclists. One is dead. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/richmond-cycl...

I think the concerns of these 19th century legislators were warranted and we made a massive mistake in promoting cars as the default form of transportation for everyone. We've unnecessarily exposed ourselves to an incredible amount of danger when there has always been other safer transportation solutions possible.

It's not too late to reign things in. Autonomous cars will help, but solutions exist today and there's no reason to not start working on making the streets safer right now. Cities need to limit speeds to 25 mph like NYC has so that crashes, when they do occur, are less likely to be fatal. Cities also need to provide more transportation alternatives such as public transit and protected bike lanes so that city staff can create smaller and safer roads without affecting people's ability to travel.

Full disclosure: I work at Numenta.

In the HTM model (presumably the Numenta algorithm you're referring to), synaptic weights are updated with every new data point in discrete time steps (as opposed to continuous). In that sense, HTM is an online learning model. There was an experimental implementation of Temporal Memory (one component in HTM) that batched up some of those operations into phases, but that still happened in a single time step and that implementation has since been phased out (pardon the pun).
