I also bought the new macbook pro 2016 (15" base), I've been a linux user for 10 years (xUbuntu) and have been liking it quite a lot. The build quality really is spectacular. The speaker are MILES ahead of any laptop speaker I have, my favorite feature of the new MBP. I also have a 2 year old MSI GS60 with a 970m for games. I with they kept the escape key though, the function keys, while used, I can live without. I've had to remap some keys in sublime, which took me a few days to get used to, but that's all. I use VI bindings but have been using CAPS(remapped)+F as escape since forever (I know it's bad, and it sucks when I don't/can't update my vimrc in new servers but it so easy I can't go back).

The dongles I don't care much about, it's a hassle but not that bad. I bought an AUKEY 4 usb hub plus hdmi which takes care of usb and video for work (I only have a 1080p monitor at work so the crappy hdmi is enough).

One thing that does bug me is the soldered on SSD. It's great and really fast but was, IMHO, a horrible design decison. Not being able to pop out the drive of a dead or old computer is rediculous. I actually had an SSD die on me a month ago and lost a week of work I hadn't pushed (I know I'm wrong but it's been so many years since an HDD failure I got sloppy). If this happens with the MBP it'll probably render it unusable or will probably be a VERY expensive repair. Forget about planned obsolescence, this is planned BUTTF*ING, no vaseline. Given that I know one day I'll be royally screwed, now I push to git more often.

Also, I depended on co-workers to build iOS apps, which was the main reason I got an apple, don't think I would have gotten one if apple let me build in linux though just because of the price. Screw xcode.

All in all, is it worth it? Don't know, as a developement machine for work it's great. Speakers, like I said and also touchid are great. Touchbar is only really good for changing volume or brightness with a slider, which I enjoy but is not really worth it. For everything else, as a developer, if I'm looking down at my keyboard or touchbar while programming I consider I'm 'doing it wrong'. Finally, this isn't new to mac developers except for the size but the trackpad is great! I've always hated trackpads and carried my much beloved logitech marathon mouse. For the first time I actually don't feel the need for a mouse. The gestures, palm recognition, etc. is very well sorted out. Occasionally I get some palm rejection problems because of the side of the trackpad but it's rare.

my 2 cents.

Cheers
Yes, as long as it is used only for work. I've been claiming it for probably 10 years or so.
Interesting. What part of the document makes you think a part-time telecommuter can deduct their home office? The "Primary Place of Business" rules would seem to preclude that.

Either way, my initial response stands - check with your CPA.
Yes, but fuel isn't free, vehicles are not free (shrinkage isn't free). Margins on these goods is very poor (1% [1] makes or breaks an outfit). Now, let's say you're right, they want to get the technology right and want to drive prices down like FedEx did back in the '70s for overnight deliveries.

Why not start with high value items --items where cost of delivery is a small fraction of the value of the good. Like FedEx did? Why go after groceries and perishables? It's an odd choice.

This is akin to Musk choosing Titan over Mars to explore the feasibility of interplanetary colonization by people.

I like the mercury metaphor. Here's a another one for Agile.: Don't build a stone fortress for a nomadic tribe.

If someone wants to give you a full specification and stick to it, you can build something fully specified. If they give you a vague idea that will change a lot, build them as little as necessary and make it flexible enough to change with the idea. If your code's going along for the trip, it may as well be easy to pack.
In all fairness, it doesn't look like they're complaining about how the game follows the plot of Doom, or uses the setting, locations, creatures, and weaponry from Doom. They're complaining that it uses the trademarked name Doom.

That doesn't seem like a completely unreasonable complaint here.

Also glad to see the source for DoomRL released, despite the reason.

...in the other two actually good JVM languages: Kotlin and Scala

As a Clojure programmer, I take exception to this statement. There's more than just two "actually good" JVM languages.

(I personally don't like the two you mentioned that much, but its because I have a distaste for OO these days, not because they're bad languages)

The JVM is a solid piece of tech and the Java ecosystem is strong, but Java the language is not something I want to have to use again, if I can help it. There are many better languages out there nowadays!
Decent ergonomics still require a dedicated space. Or else carting a lot of crap around to whichever room is quiet, then adjusting it to fit that space, assuming it's even possible without unreasonable amounts of effort.
I also have a Pebble 2, what cloud services? The android app checks for a firmware update when you pair but is otherwise standalone.

I enabled sync to google fit because I hoped it would backup sleep data but that does nothing sensible, it's all stored locally (and in fact if you reinstall the Pebble app you lose all your data).

ps: if anyone knows of some software to export these data from an android phone, I'd love to know because I could not find anything
I can't even load it, it freezes my laptop and forces me to reboot or wait for 2 minutes before Chrome prompts me to kill the tab. (Intel Celeron N3160 + 4GB RAM)
A month before they made this announcement, I ordered a Time Steel. I waited 3 weeks for shipping, and the tracking code they sent me remained in "Waiting for package from shipper" Then one day I got an email from their support saying the package was returned to sender.... sure, they just didn't send it. I requested the order to be cancelled, but was ignored until I said I want the refund or will do a chargeback.

I contacted my friend that worked there and he said he was not surprised, their support team was being disbanded and he and his team received an offer to work elsewhere.

Too bad, Pebble was my favorite smartwatch out there (original one is dead) and now I am stuck watchless because the only decent options are watches that are 1 or 2 years old.
Very few self-taught people contributed to research in the 20th century. I can't speak with authority about mathematics, but in my own field (physics) the only self-taught researchers I can think of were people trained in allied fields (math, chemistry) who ran into physics problems in the course of work in their own discipline.

The root cause, I suppose, is that it takes much less time and effort to just get a PhD than to make an original research contribution, so most people get credentialed along the way. Academic programs also immerse you in current research work, making it possible to figure out where you could make contributions in the first place.
Working on a laptop from bed or couch becomes a pain(literally) on long term. A big monitor and a good chair/recliner pays off big time if you are developer working at home. You don't have to use a desktop/tower computer though. A laptop or even a phone(ubuntu) may work just fine (connected to the monitor).
Sorry, I didn't catch that. However, you also just failed to follow your own advice :)
According to one of the developers, they produced a very tiny number of Time 2's for testing. She has said those ones all worked perfectly but even she didn't even get one.

"Changing the value of an integer constant in code is far less risky than what the code reviewer demanded."

This depends on context.

An integer variable can kill humans if it's the wrong variable.

Was it related to safety?

Who knows?

I'm assuming the reviewer knew what they were doing ...

Maybe some common sense all around would have helped here.

> Maybe I should blame Ubuntu for letting a single process hose the system

Speaking of: is there a good way to ask an OS to "reserve memory and CPU-time" for emergency interactive maintenance (e.g. spawning a console on a thrashing box), in a similar way to how ext2/3/4 "reserves space" for the root user for emergency maintenance?

The only real way I can think of to do this (that doesn't involve already knowing what processes could thrash and cgroup'ing them) is to run a hypervisor and treat the dom0 as the emergency console. That still doesn't let you get inside the thrashing instance to fix it, though.
I think Kickstarter isn't for you, man. You just have different expectations for the site than what you're going to get.

> What you want to avoid is buffering ("bufferbloat").

Excess buffering is a problem, but a little bit is fine unless you're trying to do high frequency trading. If you don't move packets to an external DRAM, you're in no danger of having bloated buffers with just the memory on the FPGA.

Or you could implement an active queue management algorithm to keep your buffers from inducing too much unnecessary latency even when they are generously sized. There are a bunch of AQMs out there to pick from, of varying complexity. And it doesn't seem like there's near enough research into hardware implementations suitable for use in switches or network co-processors.
They should overhaul their censorship algorithm and boot out /u/spez.

Keybase is great for managing my keys, but I haven't found any services that make it easy to natively use them. They've sat unused for the ~2 years I've had a Keybase account.

This looks good (i like the drag and drop mechanic).

I've spent a lot of time exploring and building career tools [1], and my observation so far has been that "formatting and style" isn't the main problem with resumes. Seem to me that most people struggle with "what" to put in a resume and "how" (phrasing, concreteness etc) to put it.

Good luck and congrats on launching.

It's a plain misunderstanding on my part.

From looking at your home page and your description of the service, it looked like a background listening service, suggesting GIFs interactively (actually, that's the showcased UI on the home page, as this is your app).

Very interesting question. The benefits of a new language has to be weighed against the learning that has to be done to use it and the load of maintaining things in different languages. It's not every 3 years or anything like that, but Java is 20 years old now, and it shows.
The world of the future is software. We're on the slow and exciting path of better and better digital representations of reality... everything from cheap orientation sensors to ADCs that were in the realm of science fiction a few years ago.

The same is gradually happening with things like batteries, motors, etc. Everything is becoming more standardized and more like software.

The current limitations have to do with both physics and engineering, and also software reliability, but those barriers are all receding. Solar Cell roof shingles are an idea likely had by many kindergarteners, but the genius has to do with making a longer-term bet and creating the financing to make it into a viable business in a world that rewards short-term results.

The important thing is that a Billionaire today can make a bigger impact than a superpower government could a decade ago. The glorification of the bygone era of massive infrastructure investment voiced by Thiel at the GOP convention can be alternately viewed as a wish that we had more Musks taking big gambles and a general cynicism about the tech elite who develop cults of personality after a single, largely luck-driven, often low-tech home run.

The Interstate highway system was a buildout that could happen because of the solving of coordination problems that had prevented escape from a local maximum. As governments lose relevance, it is up to the Musks of the world to usher in both the technological vision and the social coordination solutions.
I've had enough trouble staying ergonomic at my desk. The couch would be horrible.

Were the stories pushed by these media outlets about Saddam Hussein having WMD's considered fake news?

This whole push behind this buzzword is an attempt at damage control for declining readership and relevance as more people get their news coverage from elsewhere.
Yeah, as a former volunteer EMT, I'd like to ask you not to do this. The rules vary by country and by state in the US; e.g. I can tell you that in New Jersey as of 10 years ago, there was a standard document (DNR order) which needed to be signed by the doctor and the patient or the legal guardian, which needed to be available to the EMS crew. In any case, I haven't heard that anywhere, a tattoo or bracelet or necklace is legally sufficient, although it may be in your jurisdiction.

You'd be putting the EMS crew in a very tough spot: believe me, nobody wants to do pointless resuscitations on people who don't want them, but there are usually very specific policies and laws about when an EMS crew can stop or not attempt resuscitation, and if they aren't met, it's really hard for me to see how an ambulance crew can follow your (apparent) wishes.

On a more positive note, I don't think that DNR orders make sense for people without advanced disease, or who are not elderly and in poor health. For the healthier people, an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is more likely to be caused by something like blood loss in an accident or by electric shock, or by relatively fixable arrhythmias and heart disease. I don't see a reason to prevent the emergency crew and the hospital from giving you a chance.

I've often been unable to connect to SSH on a host for lack of available CPU/memory to spawn the SSH receiver process + the shell.

It's especially a problem with AWS's tN.micro instances: when something thrashes them for long enough, they ratchet down to such a low CPU allocation that it will likely take hours before SSHD gets context-switched to enough times to start your process. By then, all sorts of timeouts will likely have killed your session.

Use another scripting language if you are too allergic to code structure through white space (see -- narcissism of small differences, they are more similar than some people want to admit :-) ).

The indentation works, more or less, but imho layout should be in a coding standard document not in the language specification. The problems I've had with Python's significant whitespace are maimed lambda functionality and for one liners (limits to if/else/loops/etc without braces).

(And I believe that import braces comment is a bit of a joke, it gives an error message "not a chance" iirc. :-) )
