Apple's plan for the future does not include Mac or MacOS. They've been treating macOS as a second-tier OS for years and have been barely updating it. And when they do update it, they just backport some iOS features to it. You can also tell that macOS is not a priority because security updates for same kernel issues always come weeks after they've been fixed on iOS.

And let's not even get into Mac hardware and how there's no more true Pro options and how rarely they even update them.

Cook's infamous quote says it all about the future of Mac:

>“I think if you’re looking at a PC, why would you buy a PC anymore? No really, why would you buy one?” – Tim Cook, talking about the iPad Pro

Requiem for the Mac is in order.
There are a lot of people out there making such decisions every day. Does anyone know a guide for making the right technology decision?
Vox Day's "philosophy", it's not really mine, that's still inchoate. And not much of a manifesto "a public declaration of policy and aims", it's more principles than policies to achieve those, except the essential ones like no "noble and principled defeat". One of the reasons we're so dangerous, sort of like Reagan, the first US president who decided to end instead of "contain" the Soviet Union. Or in some of my recent readings, why Washington was considered to be so dangerous a general by the British.

As for Trump's policies/philosophy, well, I've outlined how some of them do align, and he's certainly kryptonite to movement conservatives and the GOPe that pretends to be conservative. On the other hand, he's pro-legal immigrant, and that's very much not of the Alt Right, we think that'll lead to Enoch Powells' "Rivers of Blood" (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/3643823/Enoch-Powells-Riv...) and we'd very much like to avoid that for obvious reasons (and note I'm not just talking about white vs. other identity group conflicts, Latin Americans, Asians, blacks, they don't exactly get along very well, do they?)

As for Trump's younger supporters, well, they're young, you need certain conditions, like "being mugged by reality" or just being old enough to collect enough data on all this, to come to these sorts of conclusions. I think having a family also helps, if you're responsible, you start thinking a lot more of what's down the road, and realize there's a whole bunch of cans which will eventually not be amenable to being kicked down it any further.
I think most of us are feeling extremely cautious about the recent Embrace-Extend-Extinguish overdrive.
Having a hard time parsing your objections.

The standard is http://json-ld.org plus https://schema.org. Client developers could freely implement it. It's a W3C standard. But don't modify it just because you can – standards don't like that.

It's annoying that google doesn't activate it for everyone, but that's like complaining about browsers allowing adblockers or SSL root certificates being tied to requirements.
embrace && extend && extinguish
I have a response to this.

Though you may not be supprized by it, how many people in your life would be shocked by it.

Have you shared your thoughts on this matter with them? Have you changed any minds?
it does not need. But some fixes were made fot this game too.
I think it's only Y@X.tld to Y@X.tld that works without applying.
They are not practitioners of the field, they're just people who happen to have a degree in that field. One of my coworkers has a degree in chemistry, yet she works in accounting, does that mean that the field of chemistry is defined by accounting? Yes, SW development is closer to CS, but it's still a separate endeavor.
>... 33 Thomas Street is the only location in New York City where AT&T has an FCC license for satellite earth stations.

That licence is for transmitting (uplinking). You wouldn't normally want to have a satellite surveillance installation in a place with active transmitters, even if those transmitters are on bands different than what you are interested in. You wouldn't want such an installation in a major city where there could be interference. Since it could be placed pretty much anywhere you would normally just pick some place out in the country. The result of that monitoring could then be sent somewhere less remote.

Perhaps the reference is to the monitoring of AT&T satellite traffic that happens to pass through that particular communications nexus.
Apple is intensely focused on monetization of anything now that the iPhone is turning into a more mature (i.e. Lower growth) product.

Do you really expect that a company that is monetizing power brick extension cables in $3000 laptops and USB cables in $700 phones is going to continue to give away the store with things that deliver high value at low cost?

When this first launched, we found the technical docs for integrators to be a bit lacking, so wrote this up: http://blog.meldium.com/home/2014/5/19/setting-up-gmail-inbo...

It's Rails-centric, but will likely be helpful to integrators in other languages. Hope it's helpful!
Fully agreed on pattern matching not being an expression. I really dislike that syntax overall. I get the reluctance to introduce new keywords (though this did introduce 'when', but I suppose it's contexual at least), but trying to shoehorn pattern matching into the, um, let's be nice and call it "venerable", old switch/case does not look very ergonomic at all.

And I don't know about you, but I rarely switch over polymorphic types these days, I mostly switch over values, so the pattern matching overall is way less useful to me without records/discriminated unions.

I guess you can't really remove 'ref' and 'out' due to interop. Maybe the ref returns stuff will be nice if we get more performant string/array views in the next version, and I do like the inline 'var out'.

I also want type inference for field declaration+initialization, but I think Eric Lippert once explained why that was a difficult problem to solve, albeit I can't remember the reason.
Well, for one, you chose a non-addictive drug, so that was a pretty silly move.

But I know, it was easier to feel that you were a rebel fighting conventional wisdom than if you had said "cocaine" instead of weed.
How could you modify this schema and expect it to work with the other players?
Changing from electoral college to pop vote also means the nature of campaigning will change.

California, for example, has a huge population of Republicans and now their vote would matter. I don't think Trump did any non military focused rallies there.

I am in Illinois. I didn't vote in 2008 or 2012 because I knew my vote would have no impact. Give me a popular vote and you might have Romney... Be careful what you wish for.
>> People don't want to leave their bubbles, for the fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths

That may be the case. But in some cases, people dont want to leave their bubble because eating skittles in someone elses' bubble can mean "looking suspicious" and getting killed for it. That is why I only hang out with my own group and those who understand me, it is too risky out there. And Travon was not the only case, there are hundreds of cases like it which dont get publicized.
Perhaps, but the entry-level Mac II with a 20 MB drive and monitor cost about $5500. Which system was more capable is open to debate, but that wasn't my concern. I was hoping for an objective presentation of facts and observations about the evolution of what we now call the Cocoa framework, but the interview started off with a statement about the NeXT system that wasn't quite true.
"PC" in Apple lingo refers to Windows machines.

TL;DR: At least 200 people participated in a scheme in which they purchased (multiple) Pixel phones and had them shipped to a dealer in NH for resale to others, in contravention of the Google ToS.

In response, Google suspended all their accounts, without the option to download any their stuff, including email and drive data, etc.

Security vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 50, November 15, 2016
Nothing too crazy.

32GB and 64GB RAM options

A replaceable SSD because they can and do fail

Options for good GPU

A few standardized ports like USB, HDMI, audio in/out, not requiring 3000 different dongles to connect to every peripheral and accessory currently in existence

An Escape key that is hardware, and in a regular location

Decent battery life

Note the prior generation MacBook Pro lines largely met those requirements, except for more RAM.
That's a personal interpretation based on my knowledge of the times, ongoing economic changes, and the cultures involved.

Smith was born not long after England (whose per capita wealth was around 5x that of Scotland) took over Scotland. He lived during a period where England was building a worldwide trading empire, Scotland was benefiting from exposure to England, and the Industrial Revolution was just starting. Oh right, and two civil wars (the Jacobite rebellions) about whether Scotland wished to continued to be united with England.

A definite intellectual challenge for the Scots of the day was how it was that England, in every way seemingly worse than themselves, should be the ones in charge. Smith provided part of the answer.
Well perhaps they can get Xcode on iPad Pro!
This article is focussed on anti-trust regulation, but the problems it addresses are much broader.

Every spending and tax law, for example, is scored by the Congressional Budget Office/Joint Committee on Taxation to determine the budgetary impact. Economists are hired to lobby these organizations about the "right" way to score policy, and then the organizations might or might not adjust their methodologies. Sometimes Congress can place pressure on the scoring organizations, too.

This would all be fine, except that neither the economic methodologies nor the data are publicly available. Sure, the big picture methodology is disclosed, but not the key assumptions.

If the economic methodologies were disclosed in full, I'd be all for outsiders suggesting ways to improve the methods. Then a scientific discussion could be carried out in public, and I think it would be obvious to anyone observing the process that the JCT or CBO economists are trying to do the best job that they can.

One step towards disclosing methods is through documentation, but given the importance of detail in the types of analyses that JCT and CBO do, supplemental documentation is unlikely to be sufficient. Instead, the organizations need to make their analytical code available. In other words, CBO and JCT should make their code available to the public and take outside suggestions for improvements. They should be open source!

Granted the data won't always be available to the public given that CBO and JCT rely on administrative data that is highly private, but they can at least produce dummy datasets and detailed summary statistics.

All of this same reasoning applies to the anti-trust situation. They ought to open source their analyses as well.

[Disclaimer, I'm a contributor to a few open source models for public policy analysis.]
I think it's more probable than not that it ended up helping him, but it significantly polarized opinion of him as a candidate.
Where you are shocked, I'm glad. While you and I may have the knowledge, many/most people still thinks Facebook is a good source of information. It is good that more visible voices are saying otherwise, so debate and questioning happens.
> We can't forget about the bad MS is still doing

This.

It doesn't take much skepticism to suspect MS has the ultimate agenda of eliminating all things Linux (as it exists today).
The economist is another good option. They have decent digital versions, including a daily edition that's just enough news for me.
About your first §: Your way of thinking is worrying to me. Global warming is no joke.

About your second §: your example makes absolutely no sense, and additionally it's not at all an "all other thing being equal" case. But if I had to attempt to answer you anyway, I'd say that in that case the fact that the better environmental impact of the JS-driven version is an argument that it has for it, and at least lessen the difference in the overall evaluations of the two options.
Firefox claims it's a valid certificate. Are you using Chrome?
Were you also cut off from all forms of media? Even the most neutral sources had stories about how both candidates were the most disliked in history, protests and violence at rallies, etc. Even if you personally didn't have any strong opinions, anyone who even casually followed the news should have understood the general sentiments of the country.

That's Stallman's opinion. In reality, it's called what people call it.
That's a good point. If the radar is a brief pulse that would help. Staying mobile would also help. An unmanned expendable perimeter pod, like you suggest, could also draw fire.

why would you need to do a MATLAB implementation after writing it in C?

Because knowing how to implement something in C does not mean you know how to implement it in MATLAB, and the best way to learn to do both is to implement the same thing using both languages.

How many engineers do you think have used Kaggle to gain their employment?

I know two people personally who were asked, and bragged about, their Kaggle experience during ML engineer job interviews. Moreover, several of ML positions I was interested in had Kaggle experience mentioned as a desired qualification in the job description.

an engineer should be comfortable with working on the low level, understanding performance tuning and they should have a solid understanding of architecture on the low level

If you reread my comments, you will see that this was kind of my point (and a lot of people here disagreed with me on this). However, learning the details of the Linux kernel is not the best way to learn about computing, and is definitely not the best way to learn the skills needed to do machine learning.

do you even know what an engineer does?

Before enrolling in a PhD program, I worked as an engineer and an engineering manager for 12 years. Since I went back to school, I did two ML related internships, and I occasionally work on freelance ML projects for local companies.

I've been keeping an eye out for a project on which to use Ember. Unfortunately, I've been in that exact mode for literally years. I already trust that it's solid stuff from having learned a load about software development from Yehuda back in the jQuery days.

Three or four times I've been about to pull the trigger and every time the things that's stopped me is that when I go to look for a sample project to have a read of an actual app using it in anger it seems impossible to find one that meets my criteria: 1. Uses current version of Ember. 2. Uses idiomatic ember. 3. Big enough to not be a toy, ember-data, being the recommended way of doing things, I want to see how it's formatted.

Every time a look it seems like everyone is saying something along the lines of "Here's a good example project except it's N versions old." or "… except it doesn't use insert-feature-that-docs-heavily-recommend-using because that wasn't around when this project started" or "… it uses local storage in place of a database".

I've read the documentation end to end multiple times over the years. I'm not sure why that's not enough for me. I just assume I'll run into trouble and I'd like to see an application with routing, component composition, backend calls, and understand a bit about the recommended backend before diving in.
My apologies in advance. This video, although hard to watch, explains the issues in great detail.

Not an outlier at all. I have never used FB for anything really, just tried to promote a silly YT channel with my kids at one time.

This site is starting to get bad as well though. I would love it to be only tech.
But you're leaving out one crucial detail: unlike e.g. Romney, he didn't wilt under such fire.

Denunciations only work when they convince people. White male Republicans who've internalized the supposed guilt they were born with don't even need the convincing bit....
I'm at the point where if it claims to be "news" and it's not on an immediately identifiable brand domain, I would assume it's fake or some variation of content spam.

Things in the realm of opinion, insight, tutorial, reviews, etc, can get more leeway.
From the Navy to Palantir
> It doesn't really matter if they both end up at the same place, which is safe software.

I think the contention is that, unless you're applying NASA style rigor, you don't end up in the same place without verifying the safety automatically, because in practice it's too expensive to verify the safety manually (without getting squeezed out of the space by your competitors.)

SaferCPlusPlus's goals are noble, but approaching the problem with a library-only solution is problematic. None of the huge swaths of legacy and third party code I'd like to sanitize uses it - and a large scale rewrite to 'fix' that may very well introduce more bugs than it fixes. A library cannot 'fix' fundamental language constructs either, short of telling you to please remember to perfectly avoid those language constructs even if you're very very used to them. Frankly, I'm skeptical of how useful I'd find SaferCPlusPlus even for new projects - especially when modern SC++L implementations already have a lot of error checking code built into them as well, at least for debug builds.

Meanwhile, I already credit these to saving me at least a month of debugging time: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html

I'm interested in Rust because it takes the same approach to securing code from bugs as seems to help a lot when I apply it to C++: Static analysis and annotations, designs to make edge cases impossible to ignore, and where static analysis cannot perfectly find all problems, let it error out reliably at runtime instead of randomly corrupting memory unless I really really really mean it.
I understand why O'Reilly might do this- it mitigates risk and may help you judge whether this is a title to push or not.

Yes, if you stop doing new things, then coding becomes just typing. Sure, you can write that same old code without thinking about it now.

But new stuff? Actually new stuff? That takes thought.

My boss doesn't pay me for old stuff that he can just license and have it work. He pays me to put all that easy stuff together and make it work in the ways that the business wants.
Well what machines are they going to be making all the apps on then? You really think iOS will overtake?

I'm a little disappointed that pattern matching doesn't simply narrow the variable, and instead requires a new variable name to hold the narrowed type. Even TypeScript narrows the variable in-place!
Is it just me, or is C# basically becoming Scala (or, insert your favorite functional language here). Don't get me wrong, this is awesome, .net on Linux, dockerized, is all good, but these moves definitely show Microsoft responding to market changes in a way they didn't used to.
Well professionals talk about abuse rather than addiction. For instance people taking opiods for chronic pain are certainly addicted but as long as they dose responsibly it doesn't matter. Basically the point at which the addiction negatively affects your life but you continue anyway is when it becomes abuse.
