I enjoy work as well. Eventually you will work at a job that was great, but through acquisition or whatever, it turns terrible and you will feel trapped because it pays well but the people you work for are less than ideal for many reasons.

Most of the work we have to do is not life changing or world changing, or even makes the world a slightly better place for anyone other than the ownership.

One day you might want to fully explore a new technology or framework, but your current work environment isn't interested and you aren't well versed enough, or there aren't any jobs in your area related to that technology. Spending time after work is an option, but when you get older and have a family, the harder that is.

To me money is freedom to not have to work, or be able to work on what I want to work on, explore what I want to explore, etc.
I can imagine this to be especially useful in implementing __repr__ and __str__ for classes.
This is nice, I really missed the Flash IDE's paradigm for game creation. The timeline and visual nature of the IDE made making a game a hell of a lot easier, especially for people without real CS education (kids). It looks like you write JS with Wick though, which I think is better for kids to learn how to interact with the web than AS3 ever was.
I agree.

Simply put, it would sense to provide

#define CharPointer char*

and then declare

char c = 'a';
CharCointer p = &c;

To me this became clear when I did some C# interop, where IntPtr is a common class, such as:

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr CallWindowProc(WndProcDelegate lpPrevWndFunc, IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

It's just an object oriented pointer interface. It looks different. I agree:

An system used for IPTV services by one of ISPs (a large telco) I've worked for. Basically, a giant piece of Java EE that strives to make everyone's life harder. Consumers get all the niceties of DRM, service provides get fun time trying to tie it with their accounting systems (that's what I had to do) and trying to figure out when it breaks, etc.
WOW.

I could spec out a laptop (pick a vendor) with a 500SSD, i7, 32GB RAM and still be under 2K. I don't want to say their hardware is overpriced. . .but they're stuff is WAY over priced.

Magic Leap’s new marketing boss has a tough challenge
Apologies, thanks for clarifying
I believe that it's possible to be rigorous and polite/tactful at the same time. In fact, it's traditional and civilized to aim for that.

Excessively tough-minded bluntness is frowned upon for good reason.
I'd go with https://github.com/collective/buildout.python or with Macports. Eventually someone will have it for Homebrew.
But I really miss "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

(Conflict between improvement and backward compatibility, but I miss it.)

Just to give time to somebody else to die.
You know, if I had to pick a year to have one extra second of, 2016 would be pretty much be last on the list.

Everybody brace yourselves for that second, lest another cool person die! :P
Hasn't this been discussed ad nauseam on HN before? The leap second insertion was announced 6 months ago
What's the 'r' in 'rMBP'?
Unless you're talking about friends in warzones I don't really see how their kids are a justification for being, or acting like a dick.
Sadly there's nothing new in this piece. The PR flack basically avoids any critical questions about the HW or any ETA on the product.

This doesn't really bode well for the company.
Completely agree. We're just now in a position to actually do it in the foreseeable future instead of it being a distant pipe dream.
Isn't it still a bug that is not new MBP specific therefore a completely wrong diagnosis of the problem?

Wouldn't it be observed on any Apple notebook?
I've seen it when people describe interacting with American wait staff at restaurants or similar venues - apparently not realizing that those employees are often required to act cheerful and aggressively polite to customers or else risk being fired, or losing necessary tips.
OpenCV is still a pain. While technically the latest major version is able to work with Python 3, it is relatively unstable and all samples/tutorials out there are for the previous major version.
Also SciPy, SymPy, and Pandas. They've supported Python 3 for several years.
Why is there no formal definition of “Time Series”?

I wonder if its not the Touchbar that draws the battery down. Chrome doesn't seem to have as much for the Touchbar to be doing as Safari does - though Safari surely demonstrates the functionality of the Touchbar in impressive ways. When I'm not laying flat in bed (i.e. sitting at the office) I've actually used the Touchbar a few times ..
That would only be true if human beings were not fundamentally social creatures by nature. Working from home, it should be remembered, was the default state of mankind from the beginning of time up until the rise of factories a little over a century ago. It is tempting, but I think a mistake, to assume that people currently isolate themselves out of desire rather than out of consequence of long commutes, the psychological fatigue of the modern workplace, etc.

Just look at different age groups. Children are isolated forcibly by their parents, so they're not informative. Adolescents, though, take great pains to avoid isolation even though their parents and society generally goes to great lengths to try to impose it upon them. Retired people do not generally isolate themselves (there are, of course, exceptions). It's only the working stiffs that tend to isolate themselves. And even that is mostly a modern phenomenon. It might be down to people being satisfied with social media as their means of socializing, but I doubt it.
I've been having Safari issues since I updated to Sierra. Every once in awhile Safari will peg my CPU at ~250% and brings my computer to a standstill.

I took a screenshot of the activity monitor while this was going on[0]. Note that this wasn't the "Safari Web Content" process, which I typically see where there is a rogue tab doing something crazy. This was simply the Safari process itself. The only extension I have installed is 1Password which I've temporarily disabled to ensure it wasn't causing the issue. It isn't.

Apple appears to be banking on software efficiency gains offsetting the reduction in battery capacity. They've done this with various iPhone and iPad releases several times.

But the trouble with trying the same thing for the Mac is the wider variety of software people run on macOS. Third-party software may not have got any more efficient, meaning the battery doesn't last as long.

But if you stick to Mail.app and Safari then, in theory, you'll get the expected battery life.
Depends entirely on the database as to if they work and why. Oracle, for instance, has a native NFS client built into the database. Modern versions of MS SQL support running on SMB3. Postgres is fine with NFS as well.

The biggest issue people have with NFS is when they roll their own. To get performance they allow asynchronous writes | but this means the write cache can potentially be lost during a power failure. Enterprise NAS systems like the NetApp referenced above have battery backed cache so writes are never acknowledged until they're in a secure medium.
What's interesting is that I've seen the link on HN titled "Hedge Fund Is Building an Algorithmic Model From Its Employees’ Brains", but I didn't click on it.

I found it a bit silly that the WSJ doesn't name the hedge fund in question.. It's like seeing a link on Hacker News that says "This company is redesigning its architecture", and the company is Facebook. Just say "Facebook is redesigning its architecture".

I shared the video about "How the Economic Machine Works" (narrated by Dalio) on Facebook yesterday.. Here's the video:

Yes, I think there's a balance we need to strike here. Being excessively rude and tough can demotivate employees and decrease productivity, but being too nice and polite won't get the message across.
Yes! and has been in everyone's mind ever since!
The author mostly said that: this kind of equipment is intrinsically quite expensive, because lots of various tech are intrinsically high-end. Now there is also the question of regulation. From my experience, the major part of the cost of a system does NOT come from there, even if regulation does not have a trivial cost. The major part of the cost comes from the BOM, from R&D, and from sales. And this is a sector where there are lots of innovation, despite all of that.

My parental units divorced when I was six and my brothers and I grew up essentially feral. I was 16yo when my girlfriend got pregnant. After a few weeks she fessed up, and tests later proved, it wasn't mine... I always wore a rubber, the other dude never did. I had my vasectomy at 17 using my fake ID(easy enough in Cal City circa '87) and continued to practice safe sex, JIC. 30 years later, no regrets. I have lived similar to errantspark's minimalist lifestyle for 30 years, watching friends get married, have kids and drifting away while I ride the feast/famine waves of a single independent contractor. It's not as glorious as some outsiders believe, but for an introvert from an abused childhood it is the optimum life I am able to provide for myself. My only advice for my younger counterparts: always have a savings buffer, the 'famine' cycles become exponentially harder to weather the older you get.
Retina.

Apples very own throughly innovative marketing term for high resolution displays.
Start treating inbound.org and growthhackers.com like you treat Hacker News. Everything else will take care of itself.
Take comfort in knowing that it hates you, too.

And know that it's waiting for you. It's very good at waiting.
It stands for "retina display", which means the display has a higher pixel density.
Yeah, I was not intending my post as a counter. Just more discussion.
Agreed, if the creator added something like "media creation suite" instead of "creation suite" it'd be a bit more clear.
I forgot what it was called, but instead of JSON or XML, this HTTP API used:

(Can't go any deeper on the thread, so responding here instead):
I would respectfully suggest that you are being misled by your outrage into a deeply uncharitable interpretation of parent's language.

> By 'rape' do you mean she had sex outside a legitimate marriage [which in much MENA law are equivalent acts]? If so, [by the laws of Dubai] she is guilty [in a purely legalistic sense] of prostitution or adultery or illicit sex. There is of course no such thing as marital rape [in the law books of Dubai]. For rape to be proven there must be multiple adult male witnesses who will testify [...I'm not sure how this sentence could be made any clearer]. The penalty for 'lying' [scare quotes emphasize that this is a perspective parent does not personally hold] about being raped is a year in jail. And the penalty for abortion is death [this is also not a matter of opinion, but is actually what happens to women in many MENA countries].
There's perhaps disagreement about this, but Atlantic Halibut is classified as endangered (IUCN Red list) and is also on Greenpeace's red list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_halibut

In any case, nobody would disagree that Halibut stocks have been depleted (or even eradicated) in many areas where it was once plentiful.
I'm sorry, but if you don't think the "political strongman" that is Donald Trump isn't going to take the overarching (and illegal) domestic spying program (that was created by Bush and expanded under Obama) and abuse it to its full potential, then you clearly have not listened to the man you apparently voted for.

I won't even address the world's history with egomaniacs and military power.
The quote in context shows no conflict:

In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

It pretty clear that if you support python 3.6 you should use `f` strings.
The whole keyboard feels like that to me. When they made the keys bigger they basically took away the ability to 'feel' the outside edges of the keys and know where your hands are. It's very disoriented and most of my typing errors are off by one.
There still isn't a leading time series database. Think the use case definitely deserves it though. I've seen so many projects spend months in building custom data rollup solutions, it's a waste of time. A good time series database would be pretty amazing.

I agree, I don't want a new MacBook and competition is shit.

I wish the Asus Zenbook 15" models didn't have a number pad.

Vaio models look pretty nice, I'd seriously consider the Vaio Z over a 13" MBP.
How do you distinguish between people who don't use social media, and those hiding their accounts?
I'm pretty disappointed by the new mbp and the state of Mac in general for several reasons. I've made pretty significant investments in the Mac ecosystem. I bought a semi pro sound card(uad Apollo 8) tons of software audio related plugins and logic and I don't have a lot of confidence that when it's time to replace my 2014 mbp that there will be a viable Mac option to replace it with. That immediately makes my sound card useless (thunderbolt connection) and unless there's a Windows version of the plugins (most do have this) then I'm out that money as well. I'm already looking at having a dongle if I want to use the new mbp with a thunderbolt connection which feels like a hack. Maybe this seems like first world problems but I bought into Mac on the promise that they truly supported the "pro" community. It's looking more and more like Tim Cook and company have forgotten that.
If I was asked for my HN handle, I'd respond truthfully. Lying to a Federal law official is a felony in the US and if not a crime a very bad idea everywhere else.

There's a lot of outrage and knee-jerk outrage and down-voting, but nobody has meaningfully answered the question I posed. People who have committed lone-wolf terrorist attacks have voluntarily and publicly posted their intention to do so on social media. It's a thing. Why is that irrelevant to a customs official?

If you try to enter Canada as a US Citizen with a 20 year old DUI conviction, you'll be barred for entry without a visa-like process. Why is that acceptable?
I did this 3 weeks ago.

I was carrying an old Thinkpad we use for interfacing with a legacy PLC at a customer's manufacturing plant, and didn't want to bring my regular machine in addition to that behemoth. Still going strong!
Don't use arrow keys, it shifts the center of gravity when typing. You want to use hjkl for movement, even better, try not to use hjkl at all and use movement commends such as w b e etc for movement.

First thing I do when setting up vim.
1. unbind arrow keys
2. bind jk to Esc
3. Set up tmux + vim integration with clipboard / mouse support

Love the new MBP the keyboard is great to type on.
We all know that the webpage content, when the ads are presented, actually changed since 2013. Has anybody measured the resource stress of the pages used for tests in 2013 compared to these used for the tests now?

Is it apples to apples?

iTunes test is less controversial.

But "the 13-inch model with the Touch Bar ran for 16 hours in the first trial, 12.75 hours in the second, and just 3.75 hours in the third" seems to dramatic to be due to hardware -- here it seems something kept some CPU's at 100% in the last case or something like that?
I think GiveWell does a great job at determining where we get the best bang for our buck when it comes to aid, but at a more fundamental level, I don't think I'm in a position to tell someone else what they need. That's condescending and I'll never have the whole picture. That's why I give to GiveDirectly--I think people should be able to determine how they are helped.

Deworming programs might help kids the most, but then that money goes to a (likely American) pharmaceutical company and the benefit is over.

In contrast, give someone money and a lot of that money will stay in their community. Maybe the iron roof they buy provides them a smaller benefit than deworming, but the guy who makes and installs the iron roof can now buy a cow from his neighbor, who can now buy seed for next year's crops. Maybe eventually the money allows someone to get deworming medication for their kids, but now that money had benefited a bunch of people in the community first.

It's hard to collect data on this kind of stuff (although GiveDirectly is collecting a lot of data). But I think we need to recognize that the only reason we collect data is to control outcomes, and we're not really helping people if we don't allow them control over their own lives.

>> the new keyboard doesn't require as much haptic effort as the old one

I end up hitting the keys harder to get the feedback I'm expecting. Otherwise it feels like I'm typing on a flat surface with no keys at all.
I would start by investing in myself. I would put 100K away so I could do whatever I wanted for a year if things go south (aka invest in my free time), I'd pay off my debt (around 100k) and I'd get a top of the line computer system (desktop/laptop,etc) so that I would be able to be the most productive I could be when writing code. I'd invest in the community by taking time off to contribute to the open source community. With the extra money I have stowed away I could live off that and not have to worry about any income, which would free me to focus solely on learning the larger OSS projects and contributing to them. I would probably put 100K to 200K in a REIT that I'm invested in that gives 13% dividends. After that, I would try some P2P lending since I would have extra income that I could afford to lose since the 500K wouldn't get me to accredited investor status.
I think you probably mean Thunderbolt, or maybe Firewire, and not Lightning, yes? Lightning is the connector found on iPhones.

I don't remember people complaining this much about adapters when the Firewire 800 port was a different form factor than the Firewire 400 port that came before it - most of the equipment that plugged into it was "pro" level hardware like you mention.
Review of Popular Trends and Tools for Developers in 2016
Yeah, this is the biggest reason why I'm excited about 3.6. I'm still using % for all formatting because .format() is so ugly and verbose, but I'll switch to f-strings when I actually get the opportunity to use 3.6. In fact, when the PEP first appeared I immediately decided that from now on, I'd write all greenfield projects in Python 3 just so I can take advantage of f-strings as soon as I can use 3.6 (yes, this of all things was what made me switch from 2 to 3).

Though I think it would be cool if you could have a deferred format string, like so:

template = 'My name is {name} and I am {age} years old. Next year I will be {age + 1}!'
name = 'Amy'
age = 32
formatted = template.apply()
# formatted = 'My name is Amy and I am 32 years old. Next year I will be 33!'

So that way you could store the template as a constant somewhere and apply it after receiving input from the source of your choice.

You can kind of do that with [0], but it doesn't evaluate expressions (so the age + 1 thing won't work).

[0] .format(**locals()) # putting it here because HN eats the asterisks if it's not indented

I'd rather see remarks disagreeing rather then bobbing heads at every topic.
Epic honesty.
Social security is not a national ID, though it's often used (badly) as one.

I didn't downvote your original post, but I will say that many of us don't share your view: we love freedom and aren't willing to so blithely trade it away.

Anonymous speech is the backbone of American freedom, and has been since the founding of the nation. Some of us are willing to have Civil War 2 before we let the government take that enshrined right away.
It's not really intended to replace full scale machines but it is a big step up from the cheaper imaging solutions available in the past. It is ideal for "first aid" style situations, and will probably see widespread adoption in ambulances soon enough.
I could change zoning laws and provide tax incentives. Those work pretty well.
I think it's the best laptop for a management level person in engineering running from meeting to meeting who occasionally sits down to write some light code / test code that they are reviewing from others. Great screen, decentish (but not great) memory, and great battery life, all with the simplicity of a single cable connection for power/monitor/accessories. Best of all, it's fantastic traveling as it can be easily charged from a USB-C battery pack that doubles as a phone charger.

If I was writing code all day, then yes, a 15" rMBP would clearly be superior, but as I don't currently the 12" makes a perfect work laptop.
What do you do for work?
Looks like they just added the LGPL license file.
I think that if they took the fancy graphics and swapped it with what you see when you hover over and maybe put some code snippets above the fold it would solve some of those problems.
You are normally "way more harsh to people" for making the very personal decision as to whether they will have children?

You do realize just how offensive you are being? Whether other people have children is not for you to decide or deride.
You're welcome, and for what it's worth, I wasn't the one down voting you.
Day job? No. Side business? Yes (especially once I start making money!)

My job now is giving me no skills that I would want in the future. I didn't realize what the job was when I joined because they kind of switched what I was going to be doing. Because of that, I'm stuck with ETL stuff when I don't want to do ETL at all. I don't want to leave because I only spent 10 months at my last job and don't want to look like a job hopper. Plus I may have a gig coming down the line to join a startup my old boss has started.
Yep, set my NTP server to slew the leap second after getting wrecked by the last one!
Yes thank you for the correction. I will edit the parent.
It's not so much that there is only one way, it's that there's only one best, or right way to do it. If f-strings are better than the ways before, then it becomes the new way to do it, and Python is the better for it.
Haha. Cute ad but let's see where customers go when everything is ~10% cheaper at Amazon.
I didn't know that it was a ranking.

I'm disappointed that there's so many ways to do string formatting/templating, but I think we're all so very painfully aware of how important backward compatibility is. So for the language to gain features like this, I think it should be understood that it will also keep the old ways.
I am. My coworkers are great and that helps a ton.
