This is of course subjective but I personally also hate the keyboard (on top of USB-C only and the loss of MagSafe). The new Trackpad sucks as well.

I have seen the Touch Bar in person and I don't hate it but it does seem like an unnecessary cost and battery drain (just like Force Touch come to think of it).

My biggest problem with the latest Macbook "Pros" is that they don't give me what I want. All I wanted is a Macbook Air with a screen that isn't 6 years old. For me the 13" Air was the perfect form factor and compromise between power and portability (eg the 12" Macbook is too much of a compromise).

And while not giving me what I want they went and made everything more expensive.

I'm sitting here typing this on an Dell XPS 15, a laptop I bought late last year when it became clear Apple wasn't going to produce what I wanted. It's reasonably nice but honestly I hate it as it's just not polished like a Mac and OSX is (I'm using Windows 10). Even simple things like forwarding videos with a two finger swipe on a Mac just works (even on VLC). On Windows it's just... horrible.

Then again I do have 32GB of RAM and a 512GB Samsung Pro 850 in it and all up I think it cost like $1400. Oh and I can play Civ6 on it.

IMHO the real cause of this backlash against the new MBPs is a combination of frustration and even a sense of betrayal. That may sound like hyperbole but people love their Macs. My 13" Air was the best laptop I ever owned and it vexes me no end that Apple (again IMHO) screwed it up.
Perhaps wait a few years before claiming those as victories. Trump has only just started, and Brexit hasn't been triggered yet. We are still yet to see the fall-out from those choices.
Isn't 2fa by sms bad though? You hear a new case almost every week of someone whose telco was socially engineered to gain access to their phone number linked 2fa/account recovery.
I would think it depends on the company. Remember, the world is a LOT bigger than GoogHooBookSoftBer or whatever. Walk into Tom's Auto Salvage or City Chevrolet or Barney's Screen Doors and Small-Engine Repair and show them that you can produce value for their business, and I don't think they're going to give a hoot if your degree/certificate/whatever is from Stanford, Yale, UNC-W, ECPI, or University of Phoenix.
> This has been discussed before: similarly configured PC laptops cost just as much or more.

What?

* Razer Blade 14" [http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade]

* Alienware 13" [http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/alienware-13-l...]

* Alienware 15" [http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/alienware-15-l...]

* Dell DE workstation [http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/555/campaigns/xps-linux-lapt...] [1]

So basically every other power machine in that price range has better specifications for less or equal pricing (including premium niche brands like Razer)

[1] These come with Ubuntu preinstalled if you want too!

Edit: Just for grins I thought I would break down the comparison of the Macbook Pro 13" against the Razer Blade.

Stats: MBP 13 (max configured), Razer Blade

Price: $2,499, $2,299

CPU: i7 DUAL core, i7 QUAD core

GPU: Intel Iris (integrated), Nvidia GTX 1060

RAM: 16 GB LPDDR3, 16 GB DDR4

Disk: 512 GB PCIE SSD, 512 GB PCIE SSD

Display: Retina (2560 x 1600), QHD w/ Touch (3200 x 1800)

Basically, the Razer Blade destroys the performance of the MBP for $200 LESS.

Edit 2: The price discrepancies get even worse when talking about the 15" laptop...just saying.

I had Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, and both Nexus 7s. I tried really hard to stick to it for exactly your reason, but all those devices stopped getting updates long before they stopped working anyway. Pixel is a ridiculously expensive thing and I don't trust it will get more than just this year's android.

If the "rostral dorsolateral pontine tegmentum" area of our brain is associated with consciousness my immediate question is - is this area equally developed in cats, mice, birds, reptiles, fish etc?
Is it even legal to call yourself CEO if you aren't a C-Corp? A basement LLC with a CEO always makes me laugh. How about Owner or Founder?
The market price of a ride is based on the supply and demand of a ride. Not being able to sell a medallion will reduce supply. Holding demand constant, price will increase as supply decreases.

If a medallion owner is happy driving 10 hours a day, but a potential owner would be happy driving 12 hours a day, the current owner should sell to the more eager driver and supply of rides will increase. If the owner cannot sell, then supply of rides is stuck at a lower level.

If the number of medallions in circulation is constant, the market price of a medallion is not a causal factor in the cost of a ride. The causality goes the other way around.
Having traveled extensively in Asia, I know and have met LOTS of people that have a smartphone (typically some Chinese android thing), but no credit cards, and sometimes not even a local bank card.
I don't believe LE revokes certificates that get renewed, but rather lets them expire. If they implemented their stuff correctly, it should renew roughly 30 days before they expire, which in turns allows for plenty of leeway in adding in new certificates.
Most physicists don't think about other universes with other physical laws because they don't really affect what we see.

Cosmologists interested in fine-tuning might.

Quantum foundation theorists often consider alternatives, not because they think they are real, but because it's useful to understand why QM has the form it does. Mostly their results suggest QM is difficult to modify without becoming trivial or useless.

I think the drive comes more from the metaphysical direction. It's hard to imagine why one set of laws would emerge as physical unless all sets of laws are physical, just by virtue of existing mathematically.
Using any capital letters in code is an instant point away from a language IMO. Having to press Shift sucks.
Death on space missions is something we as a society have to find a way to deal with, anyway.

I mean, just imagine someone dies on a Mars base. Either of age, of a medical issue (heart attack), or an accident (e.g. electrical shock, or mishandling heavy stuff)... are they going to be buried on Mars? Cremated and flown home?

Will the families on Earth have a place to remember their lost ones? Should there be something like a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? Where should this be, especially given that a Mars mission will be international? In the US? One per country?

Under which circumstances is euthanasia on space missions acceptable? Not at all? For grave untreatable injuries/illnesses only? Or for "okay its treatable on Earth easily but it's too expensive to fly home", too?

What do we do if someone (by negligence or with intent) kills or gravely injures someone else on a space mission? On a space travel, someone jailed is basically dead weight eating away your resources (ST:VOY dealt with this in the Lon Suder arc in the early seasons), so would it be acceptable to ditch the person? Same for a space colony. You're not going to bring lawyers, judges and trained police personnel on an early space mission.

To make it worse: society has to think about these issues FAST. I believe it's likely SpaceX will be manned permanently on Moon or Mars in no less than 10 years.
Hope I run into the same sort of luck eventually. Sucks having to worry about whether I'll still be in the country when trying to plan for the years to come.

All this on top of worrying about work, relationships, personal health, and always trying to catch up and learn the "fundamental" bits of knowledge required to do my job. Sometimes I feel like I wasn't born with as many cores as others :(
>You say that as if that's some easy, cheap thing to achieve.

No, I don't. I say it as if there are more important things to consider in the products you buy.
I've used Flywheel!

Without being excessively negative, the experience showed me that Uber and Lyft deliver value beyond the simple A-to-B transportation service.
> I think this article misses the biggest reason Sales exists as a profession: because customers need help understanding what they're buying!

This is another common and overlapping problem, companies that can't explain what they're selling. No one should need to talk to a salesman to understand what they're buying, if they do then the marketing has failed. I wonder if this is caused be sales teams being in charge of the website and not wanting to make themselves obsolete.

It seems to be infecting OSS too, just last night I was considering installing fedora but the website manages to tell me absolutely nothing (https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/).
It really isn't, I was able to implement something similar in a matter of about a month by myself at my current employer.
The point of standards for browsers is that you shouldn't need a polyfill just to support a feature (localStorage) in one browser. Ideally, it would just destroy its contents after your private browsing session is done, just like the way (I believe) all browsers treat cookies in private browsing mode.
>similarly configured PC laptops cost just as much or more.

I guess that depends on what "similarly" means.

The Dell XPS 15", for the same price has a far better processor, far better video card, 32GB of RAM, 4k screen and a 1TB SSD. The Macbook has a touchbar?

It's a combination of two things:

1. We're bad at hiring, as an industry. We just aren't very good at identifying good candidates.

2. We're an industry where the average skill level is below the minimum threshold of competence for even low-level roles.

I.E. there are lots of people looking for jobs, but most of them either couldn't code their way out of a wet paper bag -- and identifying the good candidates is time consuming and error prone.
Unprofessional headline
Are you referring to the `-[WKWebView navigationDelegate]`?

Thats only used for user initiated navigation, not loading of assets.

You could still inject a JavaScript file or CSS file though to help hide pieces of the view. But that would be content blocking after the HTTP requests have been made.

I don’t know of a way to intercept the HTTP requests as they’re being made from a WKWebView like Safari does for content blocking.
OK. Are you saying Clinton = Trump? All I have to say here is I thought Gore = Bush. But 200k people died. So electing a president gets a little more nuanced.
Having a robot tip the milk jug to perfectly froth the milk at a precise angle, at a precise temperature, and pour it in the coffee cup with a bit of random/bespoke latte art — that would be impressive. The actual coffee bit (grinding beans, boiling and pressurising water) is less visually impressive and pretty solved by now.

Maybe they can self-service, or self-clean, but otherwise I don't see how they'd be better than regular self-service coffee machines, which just can't compare (as the whole package) to a skilled barista.
Not only that, but if it's legal not to do business with a minority group, then people who aren't themselves prejudiced will come under pressure not to do business with or employ members of the minority group in order to keep the prejudiced people who don't want to associate with those minorities happy.

Disclaimer: I do not hold any kind of real degree (just an Associates from a defunct tech school - worth little to nothing now) - so take the following for what it is...

Based on my experience, which I won't re-iterate here - the various MOOCs I've taken (and currently the Udacity Nanodegree) would not be anywhere close to a masters in the subject (unless I am severely overestimating a masters - but I don't think so).

TBH - they would probably equate closer to an Associates, at best.

This offering from Stanford? Not sure - but I still don't think it would be the equivalent. I'm not saying it wouldn't be worthwhile, but I think if your goal is a deep level of knowledge and understanding of the subject, then a quality masters program for CompSci or similar would be the better path.
Around the time that building a Hackintosh became possible, I remember running it on an IBM R32, which I think was released in 2002. It was a useable system, except for wifi (it wouldn't recognize my PCMCIA adapter).
> if someone is going to steal your idea

Just to clarify, I (gladly) fell out of love with my idea and dont so much worry about people "stealing" it. I'm more worried about a business partner building an "escape hatch" in the partnership contract and screwing me out of ownership/stake. Not sure if that changes your answer or not.

> Were there negative things said about the keyboard? I was playing around with the new MBP's in the Apple Store last week and I found the keyboards to be fantastic.

I guess there are just segments of people that disagree then. I find the new MBP keyboard abhorrent. The keys are too shallow, and they have far too little give; you're literally typing on a hard plastic surface. I love going home in the evening and getting my Thinkpad's keyboard, even though I'm not really a fan of that keyboard.

This is why I recommend that anyone wanting to purchase a MBP visit the Apple store and type on one. Maybe it won't bother you, but it bothers me, hence, I think folks should try it before they buy it, and Apple makes that fairly easy to do.
> I'd wager there are plenty of aspiring Astronauts that would be okay with an earlier death

The pool of talented astronauts is already surprisingly slim. And every one of them has a brilliant career ahead of them, on a safe planet, if they want it. I bet the percentage of qualified astronauts who are fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants daredevils willing to face certain death for fleeting glory, is actually kind of small. You know what they say about old pilots and bold pilots.

So I'll take your wager.

One reason that Angular feels more like a language than a framework to me is that it essentially has its own module/dependency system with all the dependency injection stuff.

It don't even use Angular's D.I. to test things. We don't have any tests in our app, what would you even test? It just displays data it gets from various sources.

But this:

angular.module('...')
.controller('BlahController', function(a, b, c) {
'ngInject';
...
});

is still clearly better than this:

var a = require('a');
var b = require('b');
var c = require('c');

exports.BlahController = function() {
...
}
But nothing is limiting you to putting down just one number. It would seem to me that the solution might be along the lines of a table with 4-5 rows:

starving-student use case (with obvious keywords showing it's starving-student) = $9

typical low-end use case = $150

typical high-end use case A = $5k

typical high-end use case B = $10k

anything else = "call us"

Fernand Braudel has some pretty interesting material about coffee in passing, in The Structures of Everyday Life. One thing he discusses is how alcohol, coffee, and tobacco all substituted for each other to an extent: where coffee consumption spread in France, for example, wine consumption fell.
> I wonder if they "braid" the cables?

I don't know - maybe I'll look it up when I get home (I purchased this huge and expensive history book on cable cars from the museum when I last went - it probably has info in it about that aspect).

My best guess would be that they do; I can't imagine another way (like welding or soldering) wouldn't cause issues going over the sheaves, possible causing the cable to jump the pulleys. Plus there'd be potential issues with the cable pinch system on the car itself should such an area be "hooked" so to speak...
> memorized keyboard shortcuts

What keyboard shortcuts? I touch type, but nearly all the keyboard shortcuts I know use the lower part of the keyboard (ctrl- or cmd- or alt- some letter or number). I know F5 to refresh, but never used it on my Mac since the media keys were set to be the default and were more useful to me anyway.

The only thing that occasionally causes me to do a double-take about the touch bar is the non-physical escape key. And even that has not honestly been much of an issue for me.
Great to see this here. I love Ceu. It's a joy to use for the Arduino.

The common explanation for this is that the content owners did not let them. Terrified of what iTunes did to the music business, they cut deals with not-Apple to prevent a monopoly from becoming more important than they were.

Thanks for the details. imo, this will have more impact on Indian body shops profit and shareholders more than affecting employee's and that's why greedy IT companies are more upset.

Its good for U.S IT professionals, since hopefully it will end discrimination based on low-pay. Good for India's IT professionals, because they need to prove their worth based on technical skills and not just cheap labor.

I also hope visa interview system get more technical (i assume its not technical atm)- instead of getting interviewed by someone with-in the company, candidates need to be evaluated by independent third party to allow only right candidates.
