20 billion barrels of oil sounds a lot until you realize that the world consumes around 35 billion barrels per year. All this fracking comes at a huge environmental cost and all this to keep hanging on to our fossil addiction for a few more quarters.
Except no one's asking them to "gimp" the available models. People are asking for more options in the high performance space. If Apple doesn't make it, you can't simply go to HP and get it there. You have no choice. It's either run out of memory, or abandon your whole OS and software stack.

Apple is forcing a segment of it's customers to abandon it's ecosystem to continue getting their work done

Intel's IoT effort seems very strange to me. You can get Rpi or similar board for $5-25, while and Edison or Currie is a lot more expensive. I know dev boards is not where they want to make their money .. but surely the chips cannot price compare with the ARM SoCs on the cheaper boards. Fine .. you can run Windows on your embedded device with these things (Windows IoT Core ... but that also works on cheaper boards like RPi). Do they have a path to success in IoT or is it just like step 2 for the underpants gnomes?

Btw .. I feel the same way wrt Cisco and IoT. Perhaps the only large company that gets IoT IMHO is Amazon.

Intel's acquisition of Altera seems promising but I don't know how big a market that is. High-end applications are certainly price-insensitive but there is a lot that can be done with older gen hardware and the Chinese are creeping up on that already.
urm, isnt the hole point of having a 'pro' version of your product that it can handle workloads the previous poster mentioned?

i'm pretty sure his problem is only that the new mbp has the specs of a budged laptop, at best. Which is perfectly fine for most usecases, hardware has gotten pretty good over the last few years. still, shouldn't qualify as a 'professional' version.

I'm not a Haskell expert, but I am a sat expert, and worked with good Haskell programmers. We managed to get decent performance, but what we ended up with looked a lot like a C program translated into Haskell, so it wasn't clear we had really gained anything. Memory safety I suppose.

I'm pretty sure you have the best intentions but I think you're making a critical mistake here. There is a distinct difference between insufficiently researched news or biased news (likely what we have here) and propaganda (aka "fake news"). The legitimization of propaganda sources is an enormously serious problem which shouldn't be watered down by confusing it with other journalistic problems.
First of all, I didn't say you get a seat, I said comfortable. I can stand for quite a while, read a book on my phone and be comfortable. Secondly, there is a huge margin between having to stand but getting your own little space and being cramped. Former is expected, the latter is something you can plan around when choosing workplace and home. Also, how annoying cramped spaces are is heavily dependant on who else is there. That ranges from drunk football (soccer) fans at one extreme to Japanese. With the latter I don't care at all being cramped, everyone stays relaxed, gives way when needed and is perfectly behaved in queues. I'll take that any day over standing in traffic - because I can completely switch off, no responsibilities apart from getting off at my stop.
Not sure why people are downvoting you, but yes you are right. That's the reason why so many people are frustrated about this. I don't want a "Dell XPS Pro" I want a Mac.

Apparently wood dust—the invisible diesel-exhaust-like particulates, not the stuff you can see—is also a major health hazard, and will progressively destroy your lung capacity if you let it.

I mean as a graphics programmer I enjoy an i7, multiple graphics cards and 32 gb of ram and i still max out everything doing various tests while having an IDE open (chrome alone right now is consuming multiple gigabytes).

I'm not speaking for me, but general consumers who expect to be able to do photo editing, while browsing the web, while listening to music, and in lieu of photo editing, perhaps playing the occasional game. Not being able to service this easily with a top of the line model is frankly an embarrassment.
Care to elaborate about debunked theories? I'd like to see proof/refutation about those theories. The main problem is not necessarily how you extract it but how you use it. If you burn it you contribute to global warming. If you burn the forest which was present before the extraction you also contribute to global warming.

There is nothing more annoying than getting a PR that fixed a one line bug, along with someone's editor's autoindent rewriting the entire file the fix was in, because it wanted to change indents.

It's certainly not efficient reading a patch with a +1000/-999 diffstat, hunting for a one line fix. I've had this repeatedly and it's painful. Anyone that noted the existing style wouldn't have let this happen.

This is a common sentiment, but I have to say that it's not in line with my experience as a Google Apps/G Suite business customer. If there is an issue, I simply call the phone number, get a competent support representative promptly, and if they can't resolve the issue on my first call, they will follow up and stay on the case. I haven't used GCP yet, so I don't know whether the support will be more like your experience or mine, but I'm confident that Google does have the ability to deliver good customer support.
> I think a lot of the backlash towards the new MBP is being caused by the uncertainty Apple has injected into its desktop line.

Agreed. The mediocre laptop offerings (nothing exists that surpasses my 2014 rMBP) and the complete jokestore that are the less-than-multiple-thousands desktop lines--which isn't to say that the Mac Pro isn't silly too, it's just so silly I can't imagine ever even considering it--mean that I'm probably moving off of OS X over the next two years.

It would be more cost-effective, at my full billable rate, to get back into the Hackintosh game and spend God-knows-how-long on that than to buy any Mac on the market right now. That's insane.
Yes. Bottom line I switched to Apple in 2009, but my next laptop wont be an apple. My 2011 MBP has 16GB of RAM FFS. Back to linux for me.
Is it possible to read the book without reading the first two parts beforehand?
This is true. I tried to make them as generic as possible, so whenever I have to update one of the files, I can just copy/paste a fix to all other files.

While they certainly enjoyed the conventions English law afforded them, it was always understood that these rights are natural rights born with their humanity. To lead a revolution and form a new government, they understood that this could not be justified if they had to appeal to the King's law. Instead they argued based on the natural rights of man and drew upon bodies of political philosophy and thinking such as John Locke which gave the legal basis.

These ideas are all over the Declaration of Independence:

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth,"

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"

The bottom 2/3's of the Declaration of Independence are a list of specific grievances against the King and how "He" violated their rights. While most school children are only introduced the preamble to the Declaration, the drafters felt that the actual important part was the list at the bottom because this was considered both a moral and legal document, justifying revolution. Trying to argue in only technical legal terms within the King's law would give them neither which is why the political philosophy of natural rights is embraced.

As with most programmers so isolated in the web bubble, you have no idea that you're describing light use. Yes, your usually-fully-idle virtual machine is light use. Yes, your marginal text processing is light use.

Sometimes, I need to render video. At one point, MBPs were more than sufficient for state-of-the-art video work on the fly. But time has marched on, and Apple has not. That's why people are pissed, and it's a reasonable state of pissedness given that these are professional machines. It's gotten to the point where I have ditched Final Cut entirely for Premiere just so I can run it on Windows on a machine that is adequately specced for professional work. I hate Premiere. Apple does not offer a product that isn't priced dumb-as-dirt that can actually run Final Cut adequately, though, so that's the only choice I have.

But, hell. The current lines of Mac spin up to near-screaming, even despite those special, so-quiet fans, when one watches a video, so I guess asking for performance when you make one is downright unprofessional.

Sounds like you do coding that does not really need much RAM. I don't think nearly all developers have your requirements. I was hoping that with new MBP. I could move my MongoDB/MS SQL Server to local virtual enviroment. For that I needed Virtual Windows Server which eats about 12-15 GB ram with Mongo and SQL instances running.
So smaller batteries don't charge quicker(?) You seem to be talking about something completely different (efficiency of components).
My coworkers recently setup an internal API using a Flask app for US address parsing. They used libpostal after comparing it with usaddress and address (both are Python libraries).

libpostal had the best results and good abbreviation parsing ("St" for street, "blvd" for Boulevard, etc). We use this to check if two address strings are equal, so you can imagine how much abbreviations are important to us. The US postal department website has a list of postal abbreviations but writing our own address parser with this is not a simple task.

libpostal is a few gigs of download and will take about 2gb ram to setup. But worth it.
C and C++ are slow to compile due to their compilation model based on text expansion instead of actual modules.

> How do they measure the exhaust?

I don't know that they are specifically looking for any exhaust other than RF emissions (which they say are not observed). If there were in fact an exhaust at some other frequency I don't know that it would be detected. (If such were present it would still be rather unexpected, in my view; there is nowhere near enough energy being pumped into the apparatus to start creating particle-antiparticle pairs, or to trigger any kind of process that would produce UV or X or gamma rays.)
We don’t directly see anything. Our brains are trapped inside our head. The whole concept of "reality" and solid things is just a useful construct for beings made of matter. We evolved to see in the visible spectrum because it mostly bounces off of stuff like us(not totally, put your hand up to a bright light).

We are beings of condensed energy. Would we be “real” to beings in the neutrino / dark matter world of physics? Or would we "nothing" in their reality? Even if they studied us, would a rock appear to be any different than a human when viewed from the realm of WIMPs? To hear physicists Dawkins and Krauss think about this and the concept of “nothing”:

> Whatever you're using it for, clearly it's the 1%

Dude, are you seriously suggesting a laptop marketed for developers not be used by people writing and compiling code?

Seriously any project of decent size written in a systems language just consumes all the ram you can throw at. If you think this only happens to 1% of the developers, you need to step out of your echo chamber and see what other developers are doing.
Sorry, I had written and removed something a bit snide like 'the fetishization of...' the edit left a bit of incoherence.

Common sense appears to prevail. Cheap for the council, easy to understand, no bottlenecks, companies can opt in or out. More cities should try this.
The need for stationary jointing and planing hardware seems to be the major obstacle to doing decent woodworking on a low budget. The cheaper machines have low maximum widths and low lifespans, produce fairly low-quality results and aren't even all that cheap. For a really solid and versatile planer/thicknesser (alias jointer/planer) it seems you'll have to spend a low-five-figure sum if you buy new from a respected manufacturer. And trying to plane well by hand instead is quite a serious adventure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojeul33vXL4
>who have some extreme expectations for a portable computer

And you have extremely low expectations of the latest model since as you already said the old 2012 model performs "well" for your use cases.
> The most mathematically precise definition I remember for conservation of 4-momentum only requires that the interaction is invariant to spacetime translations. I don't see how that requires you to conserve both separately from the whole.

"Conservation" of a 4-vector means its components in a given inertial frame do not change. That entails that, from the viewpoint of a given inertial frame, the total energy and each individual component of the momentum are all conserved separately.

I did some work on a transputer at Tao --- we had a nine-node demo system; eight transputer nodes, and one Pentium node, running as an asymmetric multiprocessing cluster. The demo program drew Mandelbrot images by farming out scanlines to each processor node. Unfortunately, the Pentium was so much faster than the transputers that by the time each transputer node had rendered one scanline, the Pentium had done all the rest...

Later, the transputer metamorphosed into the ST20, which was sold as a single-processor embedded microcontroller, used a lot in the TV and set-top-box market. It actually worked pretty well.

One exciting thing we discovered: on at least on transputer system (and the details are from memory, so possibly incorrect here), if you asked it to do a shift right by 0 bits, the processor would hang. We eventually decided that the microcode that implemented this was doing:

while (--shift)
value >>= 1;

So, if you passed in 0, in the first iteration the shift rolled round to 0xffffffff, and kept going; with interrupts off. IIRC we calculated that it would probably take about a fortnight to run. I don't think we ever tried it to see, though.
If you've ever used Firefox this isn't lost on you. However, it's a pitiful defense for a $1500+ computer.
In a theoretical world, rational actors would never take the dominated option. We don't live in that world.

In our world, the one making the choice may not be the one adversely affected. There may be disagreement about the best action. There may be unavoidable risks.

Examples: thermonuclear war, global warming, predatory lending, biological weapons...

Consider a hypothetical doomsday device that could be developed in a garage. The "all options are a net good" principle is just not a very useful one in practice.

I downvoted him because PC manufacturers make really good laptops these days. It's not the days of hollow-body plastic things like the old Dell Studios (my last PC laptop, from about 2008). The world's caught up. I probably would already own a Razer Blade Pro if I wouldn't be embarrassed by that green thing on the lid. Sager makes really solid machines that feel good to use, too, and right now I'm strongly considering a Thinkpad P50.

Apple makes kind of above-average computers, and ones that fall down for current-day, up-to-date professional uses. They make a better operating system. The reason people are pissed is because Apple used to do both, and it's rapidly becoming the case that the lousy hardware and high prices aren't balancing out the operating system. If not for already being comfortable, it would probably be more effective for me to switch between Windows and Linux as necessary on PC hardware (both desktop and laptop) than to use OS X anywhere. That's why I'm probably going to have to switch, and that's why I'm kinda mad.
As the main hypothesis in this paper is that the momentum is transferred by pilot waves, it is worth to emphasize the (cited there) most known recent approaches - Couder's experiments which use classical object with wave-particle duality (droplet coupled with waves it creates), getting e.g. interference in double-slit, orbit quantization and many other quantum-like phenomena:
