Divestment is an oversimplification of the direction Apple seems to be taking the Mac. Consolidation would be a better term: trying to prune the product line into a lineup of hits and nothing else, often to the exclusion of non-mainstream (professional) users.

So the test to apply is: will this enable a headline feature? In this case, if it lets Apple put a significantly bigger battery life number on the product page, I'd bet on it.
Thankfully Intel has already done alot of new work in this area - allowing PCI devices (GPU, Xeon Phi) etc, to share computing resources more evenly.

I keep seeing plenty of evidence that the JVM is indeed heavy. When I was working at a startup and we were running Solr on the JVM, it kept running out of memory and crashing. When I tried using Clojure I was irritated by the startup time of the REPL on the JVM. More evidence: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13692206/high-java-memory....

If you want something light like Clojure and don't need any Java libs, try Pixie. https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie

If you want something light not like Clojure, Go is a great choice. It's fast to compile, fast to run and doesn't gobble up your memory unless you force it to.
I'm not in any way a Trump supporter or on the right more generally, but I can see why people on the right might be skeptical. The tech community did, after all, run Brendan Eich out on a rail when they discovered that he donated $1000 in favor of Prop. 8. I think they know that, while they may be in the majority nation-wide, in the tech community they are a small, reviled minority. And if they work for political campaigns they support, there will be social, and potentially business, repercussions.

It seems a little to me like get-out-the-vote campaigns. They're dressed up as some totally non-partisan, civic-duty enterprise. But if you're targeting your efforts towards demographics that you know are generally going to vote a certain way, can you really claim with a straight face that you're not helping a particular political party? Here you know a priori that you'll be encouraging people to get involved in politics with a certain bent. I'll point out that none of this is bad, per se, but I think it's why you can expect conservatives to react defensively.
They are in an awful spot.

It can be argued that once a company messes up this bad it will make sure nothing similar happens ever again. However, it can also be argued that if a tech company has all five of its back up procedures fail it's borderline criminally negligent.
Why so? A Mac is a very high ASP item - why not, for example allow iOS apps to run in macOS (using the ARM processor).

Ultimately, the 2016 MBPs are a great example of why Apple needs to divest from Intel. The poor timing for Kaby Lake mobile processors and lack of low-power RAM were both Apple's reasons stated when the topic of "the MBP isn't keeping up with the competition" arises.

And who's to say that macOS.next will be anything similar to the current macOS?

No he means that running x86 legacy mac programs on an arm mac with an emulator as a compatibility shim would be slow. Linux is totally different, because you can clone an entire DISTRO, cross compile it, and have a native arm environment with no compatibility shims slowing things down.

The way I see it, the biggest opportunities for the foreseeable future are VR and tools that leverage deep learning to enable unskilled people to produce high quality creative works (e.g. neural drawing, neural music making, neural writing, etc). Doing a side project in either of these areas is more likely to lead to something revolutionary, and even if you fail your job prospects will be greatly improved. On the other hand, both of these areas are hard, but in life, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I think the author is trying to point out that mean, median, and mode are things that people think they understand because they know how to calculate them - any one of them is trivial for the majority of the high school educated population (14-18 years old). However, just because you can calculate something doesn't mean you know how to properly apply it.

When you taught your intro stats class, did you try to give the students guidance (and convey understanding) as to when and why they should apply one of the statistics? If so, good on you, but from my, obviously anecdotal experience, that has not been the case.

This sounds weird. Are they going to have two versions of every executable? One arm and one intel? Or would this low power/power nap mode only support a tiny subset of functionality that apple chooses to include in their OS release?
Why doesn't Intel include an Atom core on their CPUs as a next level speed step, like ARMs big.little? It has to be much easier to keep both the high and low power parts the same architecture.

Exactly. today we're able to see a bad disaster recovery happening, but it happens all the time. I revised my backups and added some redundancy to it.

Everyone knows how much backups are important and talk about it all the time, but I bet a lot of companies don't do it right. It is expensive, don't add real value (except when it does), etc.

Today I added automated replication of backups from AWS to another cloud provider. Just in case...

I did this becauase recently, a local brazilian cloud provider (ServerLoft) didn't paid his server (Equinix) and went offline forever. 16k companies went offline without time to recover anything there.
I don't care how you feel about smoking, I don't want to be exposed to it in my living room. If I can smell it, I'm exposed to it. There is no safe level of secondhand smoke [1].

I trust peer-reviewed studies over your "feeling" about what is harmful, and besides, the smell is disgusting, worse than literally any other smell I have experienced. I don't want that in my living room, plus it gives my partner asthma attacks. I don't think it's fair that someone should get asthma attacks because of someone else's addiction.

Nobody needs to smoke anyway. There are many good options for quitting if you have motivation and willpower.

From my observation the majority of news media manipulate much of what they report in significant ways. When they're reporting on politicians they're generally slanting something already manipulated.

Where the facts lie in many subjects is not immediately obvious.

Algorithms like this are a good idea provided that they're used wisely. I expect them to detect conflicts between treatments (with false + and false -), which would be useful to humans making their own judgements. Inflicting their results, without a chance of additional vetting, would not be a good idea.

That was actually their product rather than a 'hedge' for a while.
It is. If I read the great-grandparent correctly, violence is only needed as an outlet because the majority of humans don't have a particular combination of attributes; therefore, one solution to that brand of inevitable violence, is to artificially select for precisely those attributes.

MagSafe made sense when laptops had such terrible life they were almost always plugged in out of necessity.

Now if you're at your desk you're probably plugged in to power and a few other things that aren't break-away. If you're not at your desk you're probably not plugged in. The biggest snag I've always hit is the headphone connection. It's the most likely to get yanked if your headphones get caught up on a chair.

It was a convenient solution at the time. Now it's a bit of an anachronism.

why not, for example allow iOS apps to run in macOS

That's not what the article is talking about and it's a bad idea for UX reasons (no touchscreen).

And who's to say that macOS.next will be anything similar to the current macOS?

Don't even go there; a vocal minority of Mac users including me do not want anything like that. And getting back to the article, if the OS is radically different then presumably it doesn't need both Intel and ARM processors.

I'm no biologist, but from what I understand the body actually does maintain telomeres over time, it just doesn't keep up with the loss from cell division over a lifetime.

Purely speculating, death to "old age" is rare in nature so the process merely has to be "good enough" for our genes to compete rather than perfect enough for immortality.

> whether quantum simulation is indeed the fastest way to solve the quantum speckle problem on a classical computer.

They give arguments for this in the paper. Intuitively, if there's some fast way to classically sample a random quantum circuit then that means most quantum circuits should be easy to simulate classically. But that doesn't seem to be the case: we don't have algorithms that go fast on most circuits but go slow in highly specialized cases. It's the other way around.

> whether the output of a quantum speckle computer can only be explained by the large state space and quantum mechanics or whether there are alternative explanations.

Given that all the engineering was based on quantum mechanics, it would be very surprising if the machine worked based on something else. It's quite difficult to make things accidentally work like that. It'd be like trying to build a car, confirming it can take you from place to place, then realizing that actually you made a hang-glider by accident.
If you were really clever, you could just store some data structure that is the IDs of the post and the desired comments and use the API to pull them on page load (maybe with a nice cache layer).

In that case, you're just curating and displaying HN content without hosting it.
