Are you referring to the trackpad with the haptic feedback? That was on last year's models as well.
The problem, if you want to call it a problem, is all Hubbert extraction curves are fractal self similar. So some field in Pennsylvania decades ago looks like Texas the state decades ago looks like Mexico production "now" looks like world production estimates... may as well just publish one graph for them all. That unusual self similarity of all oil production graphs at all scales and all locations on the planet is kinda the whole point of the topic.
It's about convenience and servicing the greatest number of people. Some may need an SD slot often. Others may need to plug into an external display wherever they go. Maybe in five years C will be more universal, but now is not the time to remove them. They should have also left 1 or 2 USB-A ports. I don't have a single USB-C device.
The Giphy plugin comes to mind.
Seems like they could handle that problem directly, considering the cars have GPS.
Who else knew what this was going to be about even before clicking on it?
To be fair, being a Professional at a computer covers a lot more than just C#/C++ code. Back when I was doing neuroscience research, I could eat up 32 GB of RAM in a MATLAB simulation easy. Using microscopy data people could eat up 32 GB with images (or videos) in no time flat. There's tons of algorithmic work that needs large enough in-memory data to be useful.
In principle you could add a post-generation step that takes a description of the site's particular brand of password limitation damnfoolery and munges the output to fit. Then this profile would need to be saved somewhere so the same step could be done at password filling time.

(Still less sensible than doing this once and encrypting the result.)
True, but if the cost of gas jumps back to >$4 where it was 2 years ago, will the cost of a supercharge go up as well?
> "Edge cases"

Those aren't edge cases in the "Pro" market, those are common professional use cases.
ok, but you are only seeing the downsides, let me add the benefits:

- more efficient CPU (less battery is possible without less battery runtime)

- better display (Display P3 color, more nits)

- better sound

- lighter

- better structural engineering (all metal, even the hinges) and therefor also no apple backlight (which makes the structural part better).

- Charging with normal smartphone battery packs is now possible.
> Don’t bike on the sidewalk. Seriously.

A prevalence of biking on the sidewalk in an area is a signal to designers that cyclists feel it is too dangerous to bike on the road amongst traffic. It means that a protected bike lane needs to be built.
Yes, and the self-loathing white male undercurrent runs throughout. The idea that gaming is a solely white male affair is itself a very parochial view. Calling it a male affair is probably reasonable based on the statistics, although that's still already a bit of an insult to some of the successful developers who sell female-dominated genres, but it's not white male; plenty of non-white males play games, and they're already playing different games than the author does. As a single for instance, the word "sports" doesn't seem to appear in that article at all. (Not that sport games are exclusive non-white male; from what I see, they're popular with almost everybody, except "gamers".) As another for instance, Japan has been making and playing video games for as long as the West, and as far as I know, they are not white; again, no trace of the immense and incredibly diverse Japanese industry appears in the article.

You have to throw out a lot of evidence to come to the conclusion that video gaming is even remotely the exclusive domain of "white males".

I'd submit that rather than building games based on your political conception of what other people might want, you'd be far better off bringing in the non-gamers into the design process directly. Or even just letting other groups of people build the types of games they like instead of taking it upon yourself to build the games that somebody else might like, which is already sort of, shall I say, culturally imperialistic? They're doing it already, after all. I know; I've played some of them, and enjoyed them, and they didn't need permission, help, or angst from the "white males" to do it.

The problem may not be "the industry", so much as a game player who doesn't realize that even within the context of gaming as a whole, they are less widely-experienced than they think. If I were to try to entice my wife back into gaming, who plays Mario Kart with the family and a mean Dr. Mario, "Skyrim" would not even make my top 50 suggestions.
Except that those exports of high-price-per-calorie food (meats, dairy, wheat) were what paid for large imports of low-price-per-calorie food (rye, corn). If they'd shut down exports, those imports would not have come and the famine would have been worse.
There should be a single, unified time across the globe. It would greatly simplify matters. I propose something like Friday around five-ish in the afternoon.
Really? I frequently have two user accounts logged in, each with their own VMs running. Along with a dozen open apps each. RAM has never been an issue for me. Like, not once.

I would think they would have some view of the behavior regardless of the reddit post (for sure occupancy statistics for each charger; apparently per car usage statistics).

They could probably reduce that problem by opening fee based charging stations closer to the populations the cars serve. Time is money and all that.

Well, the minecraft I played had a chapter where a guy got overconfident and continued building during the night. He ended up having a creeper blow up and have a ton of skeletons invade his house. He had to escape, near death. It took him a week to take his house back. In the endhe mourned his dead pet pig, and erected a monument in his memory. :)

Just because it doesn't have a "set in stone" story, that doen's mean that there isn't one. I've seen stories unfold in The Sims that would put to shame most books and movies.
I love Jade Empire, I always wish they continued that series. Even a modern remake with an updated combat system would be welcome...
having a laptop currently (Latitude 7370) which has only one "classic" usb slot...I'd kill for 2...so having none would be even harder. It comes down to doing the simple things like using USB flash drives quickly without immediately needing a dongle.
The question becomes what did MGS:V get correct? Even in an unfinished state I have been judging every game I've played since by comparison.

I think it breaks down into a few categories;

1. Excellent controls. Probably the tightest and least obtrusive controls I've used in a long time.

2. Great characters. While the story itself isn't that great (because it's unfinished), the characters really drive the plot.

3. Amazing ambiance. I really felt that I was in Afghanistan and there were Russians I was trying to avoid. I eavesdrop on their conversations, hearing them yelling orders to each other, and even see them adapting to my tactics between missions.

What makes this game a great single player campaign is ... Weight. Everything has consequences because you care about the characters. Most AAA games don't have characters anyone remembers or cares about.
Games for gamers are a known quantity. The formula for mainstream games hasn't changed for decades.

What if there's a huge untapped market for games that don't focus on war, combat, crime, apocalypse, and gore?

Personally I'm more interested in exploring than in killing enemies. Put me in a shoot-em-up and I'll turn on god mode and play through to the end to experience the scenery and locations. The aliens/enemy forces/demons/monsters are mostly just a diverting distraction.

I don't particularly want to have relationships with characters. But I do want to have novel experiences I can't have anywhere else. Mainstream games don't do that for me.

> If there's any format regularity in the output, like it's in one of the PKCS message formats, that could be detected.

After entering some junk data, and incrementing the counter field, /every/ generated password has started with one of [aeiouy], so there clearly is some regularity in the output, and I guess more if analysed in detail.

Unfortunately, the Raspberry Pi 3 sells for over 50€ per board.

The Raspberry Pi zero, in spite of being marketed as a 10€ computer, in practice can't be purchased at all.
Opera Max update adds privacy tools but annoys some users
Fair enough, but this part seems worrying:

> fee to Supercharge which will be charged incrementally and cost less than the price of filling up a comparable gas car.

Electric cars should be much cheaper to run. Local wholesale electricity price + X% would seem more fair.
Why not remote into big box?

<sigh> Because when you demo, being tied to a box on the other side of the planet is asking for trouble.

I really can't believe the "why do you need that much RAM?" question still gets asked.
I just got a Mi5, and I had to jump through Xiaomi's unlocking hoops. What an ordeal.

You have to register for a Mi account and a Miui forum account and then request unlocking privileges for it. This is apparently a manual process: approval can take anywhere from two days to several weeks. Having more internet points on their forum[1] may or may not speed up the process. Approved Mi accounts can unlock 1 device per 30 days.

Once you've got the unlocking privs, you can download a Windows (and only Windows) executable that performs the unlocking process (it comes bundled with the fastboot/adb executables). It checks that your phone is logged into the same Mi account as one part of a completely opaque validation.

The official documentation, as it were, says you need their "global development" OS running on the phone, but I'm pretty sure it worked with the non-development version, which is good because updating to development failed with a non-descript error.

Once I unlocked the phone -- using a friend's Mi account which had unlocking privs, unbeknownst to him since he never got the notification -- I had to install TWRP (the most popular alternate recovery image). The official versions did not work (either crashing or nonfunctional). After about a dozen recovery images from various file hosters -- exactly where I want to acquire core system software -- I stumbled on one that worked, albeit defaulting to Chinese.

I suppose the fact that I did not brick the device speaks to the robustness of Android's bootloader/recovery/system separation.

[1] A forum which goes to ridiculous lengths to feature these points. Points for replying, points for getting replies, bounties, etc etc. Users posting useful files restrict the link visibility to people who have answered in the thread, which leads to threads with hundreds or thousands of one-word "Thanks" posts, each taking up 200px of vertical space due to the amount of "badges" the forum has. It's insane. Is that a Chinese thing? Or just how the kids do it these days?
Hyper.sh Mixes Containers, Hypervisors, and Something Called ‘Hypernetes’
You are mixing positive and normative aspects here, and getting a way less powerful worldview as a consequence. Well, you are not to blame, as by the time of Ricardo economists were always doing the same, so even the Wikipedia article will mix them.

A model is a positive construct, not normative. From the model:

1 - That is not answered by the model. You'll almost certainly need to answer it case by case, as the origin of some advantages are that somebody just happened to be born in a place instead of another. Other are clearly more systematic.

2 - Does not seem to be. This is also not on the model.

3 - The country does not get to "know" what it is best at. In a competitive market¹ the less competitive industries fail while the more competitive ones thrive.

4 - That's also not on the model. It will probably change the comparative advantages in the future.

5 - This one is completely normative.

6 - A much more likely claim you'll hear from economists is that overall the population benefits from international trade. There's no "long run" there, and not "everyone" either. This one model does not explain how a population can spread that benefit so it goes to everyone and is sustainable on the long run, you'll have so look at many of them to get a good answer to that.

As the GP said (and I on another comment), it's too simple. But you didn't point to flaws.

1 - Notice I didn't say "free market" here.
Battery's don't really like very short partial charge cycles, and the electronics to track these energy spikes get's difficult. Storing ~e6 J in ~5 seconds takes a lot of battery's. Also of note, because battery systems can only take X energy the rest of the system is only disguised to supply X energy. Most hybrids use battery's and simply kick in normal breaks if you do more than a slow stop.

But, with super cap's a lot of this goes away. They can store more energy so you can add larger alternators and recover more energy. Further, they have a higher % efficiency for charge / discharge cycles.
Please, how much legit productivity software comes bundled with "a bit of nudity"
It suggests you work on one client at a time. I'll often have a few VMs running as I switch between 2-3 clients in a given day. For me 8GB is a minimum.
As surprised as I am to say this; I think Google could steal a large chunk of the developer market overnight with some slight changes to Chrome OS.

I needed an emergency machine last week (My 2011 Pro finally died), and I opt'd for a £200 Chromebook (EDGAR), thinking all I need is a browser and a terminal right this second and I'd worry about what Apple is doing later.

A solid Linux laptop with working sleep, working wifi, great battery life. Tad underpowered but hey it's £200. I'm _really_ impressed.

If Google relaxed the constraints a little on the OS, or supported a Crouton-like workflow for containers without having to stick it in dev-mode, they could make A LOT of developers very happy.
But when you're stuck with a few apps that behave this way, the only recourse is to add more RAM.
It shouldn't. This is mostly shaving time from assets pipeline, doing more at single time eg. editing design in graphics software that autoexports it to your frontend where its grabbed and served by locally running instance of an web app you are working on, shorter times needed to recreate your data to initial state, shorter times needed to populate your database with test dataset, shorter times needed for you to run your test suite, etc ect. Stuff thats manageable, but you never can't make fast enough.

Citation needed.
If that SC unit is powered by a natural gas power plant, I would assume so.
One would hope the price would drop on S/X models to reflect it but then again, they really don't need to as it may not be a major factor in sales.

It will be very interesting how they handle people who park overnight or groups which hog existing sites. They probably need to set a limit for existing cars, high enough to not annoy non commercial owners.

Plus, it might be a subtle way to increase sales last quarter.
You can't remote in on most flights, as one example.
I agree that USB-C is awesome and is technically superior in every way. The problem is that right now very few things actually support being attached to a USB C host without some sort of adapter.

My biggest gripe, however, is the sudden loss of Magsafe in favor of USB-C charging only. This is a huge step backwards as Magsafe was developed to protect the computer and the charger from damage in case of a sudden, omni-directional tug. I can't imagine the internals of a USB-C connector holding up to that abuse. While they say you wont need to charge it as frequently, I don't buy that this will always be the case, not to mention it is very difficult to change user behavior and people will still attempt to charge it casually.
Or the simpler explanation of there being an election tomorrow? It would be pretty surprising if newspapers in the US weren't spending most of their inches on the election right now...
#1 is true too for an encrypted password database.

Unless of course by "compromise" you meant the master password being stolen, in which case such a compromise would result in all your passwords being stolen with both types of password managers.

Hyper.sh – Effortless Docker Hosting
These CISOs explain why they got fired
This macbook pro is incompatible with my current set up and will not be purchased, as I had intended to prior to the launch event. I have 4 mag safe power supplies(I travel with one and I keep one at my desk) it was bad enough when you switched from mag safe one to mag safe 2. I use my Macbook pro to run logic and record and mix audio. I have an internal 256gb mini SD card that stores my samples. I will need dongles for my external ssds, my 2000 dollar UAD apollo 8 and several other USB synthesizers and drum machines. I have 8 years of logic projects that Im not intereted in converting to some other format. I dont think that Apple could have fucked over anyone who makes music much harder.

Oh, and that touch strip? too small for anything but emoticons. I went from being semi excited about this macbook to realizing just how mid grade this thing really is. If the next update doesnt put the features I need back in place, this will be the last of my apple purchases. I've owned a mac pro, 4 macbook pros, every iphone save for the 3g. I like that you make them out of nice materials and strive for better. But you are now just making luxury laptops for consumers, not pros.
Blatant cancelling issues, one would certainly hope so - but the original structure that got them into trouble was much more problematic. (Similar to some of the shenanigans within the US btw. that got a few counties into trouble.)

fwiw - the ability to think through that kind of structure appears to be a lot commoner in computer scientists and similarly trained engineers, than it does in economist/finance types - but even there, it´s not exactly common. You have to be able to juggle inverse foreign exchange relationships against some knowledge of trading and banking relationships within and between countries, and project over time. It´s a distributed systems problem if you think it through - and we all know how easy those are to troubleshoot.
>Of course, reality and practicality can change the implementation or feasibility of an idea, but the mere concept of restricted trade being more economically efficient is non-sensical to me.

How to get a job as a Professional Developer
That has been considered. But you get into a lot of corner cases. For instance. I might suddenly need to go on a long drive. I only have 25% SoC and I will use the closest supercharger to charge up to 80% and be on my way.

This way they add a cost to supercharging and people get to control their allotted free charge capacity as they see fit.
GraphFrames are a graph-based model. Spark DataFrames is the model directly inspired by R/Pandas.
> Saving a few hundred dollars on a laptop? Or purchasing the machine that you feel allows you to work the most efficiently?

It's a fair point, but there's a limit. Pro's will pay over the odds for efficiency and ruggedness, but the new pricing has an air of exploitation. At some point, the prices become unjustifiable.
I'd rather make DST permanent. The decision between DST or not-DST is arbitrary -- one puts you ahead of true solar noon and one puts you behind. I'd rather be ahead, since that keeps the sun up later.
I also play Dota 2 on and off, since multiplayer interactions in it are so intense and so unpredictable

It's a shame to see how AAA companies have butchered the Dota-like genre. There's Valve's Dota 2 which is the shining example of what the genre should be and then there's all these garbage rehashes out there that have just tried to dumb down the game or introduce some kind of gimmick or cliche.

AAA games are just a race to the bottom in terms of design. They just try to appeal to the lowest common denominator and games get more shallow and casual with each iteration.
yikes, totally misread that thank you..
Migrating from PubStorm to Netlify
I'm in the same boat. I have a 2012 rMBP and I am sticking with it instead of getting one of these new machines. They bring nothing to the table I care about.

They have optimized for thinness and lightness where those should be nice bonuses on a machine focused on being a fantastic work machine for professional developers. Not a machine focused on being thin and light that developers can "make due" with.
I doubt they create a whole new policy less than 24 hours after a particular Reddit post. Much more likely just a coincidence.
But those economies that did well were ones which moved in the direction of freer trade/economies. This is not to say that they had perfectly free trade or didn't pick winners with industrial policy - it's just that they started having freer trade and less industrial policy.

And of course you'd expect them to develop a few large and particularly successful industries - but they developed on all fronts simultaneously, in some areas slightly faster than others.

And I mean, the most successful "Asian tigers" were Hong Kong and Singapore - with the most open, least "state chosen" economies.
I imagine that most web devs run a version of the server on their local machines, which these days might mean one or more of mariadb, mongodb, couchbase, postgresql, rethinkdb, cassandra, together with redis, rabbitmq, ELK, all the backend services and the API gateway that manages them, consul and/or etcd/kube and/or swarm... It's easier to run the full environment in development than it is to worry about bugs introduced by differences between development and production.

100GB can be handled without problems by mysql or postgre on a single node (yeah maybe not a laptop).

The Usefulness of Useless Academic Papers (2015)
I suspect neither side sees their argument in your simplified summaries (I certainly don't see my viewpoint in either of those), which is sort of the point.
Apple has a lot of developers. I wonder what they think about the new MBPs. There are so many complaints from developers that I cannot believe that all Apple engineers are happy with their new choices in MBPs. I wonder if a lot of displeased Apple engineers can change the direction the Pro stuff is headed.
