Having started with Apex (http://apex.run/), used Serverless (https://serverless.com/) and tried to work with SAM, I find the SAM is not nearly as easy to use or documented well enough (compared to Serverless) to be useful. On top of that, SAM feels more like a method of using CloudFormation to deploy Lambda Functions and setup API Gateway which means a lot steeper learning curve for people getting into Lambda.

After reInvent, I was pretty excited about SAM because it seemed like a perfect system to integrate with the Code Build/Pipeline tools, but after spending a week on it and not getting anywhere, I couldn't really recommend it to anyone.

Throw in old leftover components from a generation ago and call in NEW!!

Apple, do better than this. This is not how you answer critics, and the market, who are starting to question your products relevance.
There is no real answer to this question, as the goal-posts for "what is AI" are always moved as soon as AI can do something. And the distinction between AI and "just a computer program" is kinda arbitrary. All AI is "just a computer program"if it's running on a computer.

Edit:

To expand on this a little more... I think it's important to remember that "AI" isn't a "thing" so much as a "field" or a family of (possibly somewhat related) techniques. That is, AI includes specific algorithms and approaches ranging from automated reasoners and inference engines, to pattern recognition using deep learning, to evolutionary algorithms, planning algorithms, etc., etc. What there isn't yet is one single artificial general intelligence that we can talk about as the be-all end-all of AI.

So yeah, individual organizations are using AI techniques all over the place. But nobody is using "AI" because it doesn't exist yet.
What does "refreshed" mean in this case?
You should give the new MBP a try (the version without the touchbar, of course).

It's the best laptop I've ever used by a long shot.
I'll have to double check the model later but it's an RCA 55" LED display. I don't remember exactly how much I paid at the time, it was a few years ago.
To me, this whole thing smells of the classic tactic of telling the guy, "We know you're guilty; just confess, and we'll go easy on you." Which, of course, is a lie.

So I am of the opposite opinion. If the hash information isn't enough to try him with, then I'd rather he go free, than set a precedent that it's acceptable for a court to compel someone to decrypt information because someone in law enforcement just "knows" the evidence is there. Because once this order is allowed to stand, the level of certainty required to compel decryption is going to continually be lowered.
Hmmm. Most people I know who own iPads have had them end up as rather expensive children's toys.

Please take more care in quoting. What you've quoted does not describe the current work, but rather something they haven't demonstrated yet called "doubly heavy baryons". That sentence was immediately preceded by this one:

Professor Tim Gershon, Professor of Physics at University of Warwick and UK spokesperson for the LHCb experiment, explained what will come next for the LHCb experiment: “After the LHCb experiment is upgraded in the next long shutdown of the LHC (during 2019-20), it will be able to move to the next stage in the search for new particles: namely, doubly heavy baryons.
Ask HN: The smart watches actually solving the purpose?
Hi, Whenever I see news on smart watches release I am very eager to check what's the run time instead of thinking about the feature it has. Because there are smart watches which runs for 25 hours, 36 hours etc. But as a watch I expect it should be at least a week.

Can somebody comment on current development of smart watches and why they are failing in providing good battery life rather they tend to provide rich graphics, and they want to run Android in it (big joke). I don't understand the purpose of this device completely. because nobody ants to charge their watch everyday. (I don't wear watch, that's secondary ;))

> I'm going to start putting a USB nuke stick in my luggage

I don't see how that will be fun since the only way you would find out if "it worked" would be by getting pulled from your flight and detained.
It sees an easy way to fix this is to scan the report for sha1 tags, and put them on the stack. Then compare the next to the list. If match is found to be duplicated, refuse to load or load in degraded state with warning bells.
Sanitation has a gender problem, as everyone knows.
All of that comes in but I think it is better to introduce an overview of what a computer can do and later explain how it is done. Motivation has a great influence of how well you can learn something. Swamping people with technicalities is a great way to lose them.
> Find people who inspire you, but don't idolize them.

Luckily this is rather easy in the JavaScript world, haha.

Many good devs have bad attitudes, which makes it a bit harder for junior devs to value their skills, but it prevents them from being idolized too much.

Also, I always think it's a good sign if devs I look up to said stuff I found bad, so I know I still see them as humans and not as infailable idols.

> Don't devalue your work

This is a hard one.

On the one hand, if you work with too much non-technical people, they tend to overvalue your work. I met rather much mediocre devs who got sold to me by managers as the best devs ever. They simply always "delivered", which some devs don't. But finishing your work is a minimum in my eyes and not the "best thing ever".

On the other hand, if you only work with highly skilled devs, you could start to think you can't do anything right. In the end you got skills worth mad money to non-technical people, but you think you wouldn't get a job ever again if you lose your current one.

> Don't feel pressured to work all the time.

This is hard, especially for us devs who think of programming as their hobby.

I started freelancing 2 years ago and got about 4 weeks holidays in this time. I worked on many weekends. Not because of "crunch time" but because I liked what I was doing, but I found out it really takes its toll :\

Now I try to do 3-6 month long projects and 1 month holiday after every project. Also, only weekend work on "crunch time".

> Ignore fluff.

This is really hard, because fluff is fun.

I started with JavaScript by reading "JavaScript: The Good Parts" and "Pro JavaScript Techniques" and I learned a lot of pit-falls before I went in my first big JavaScript project.

But I came at the price of fluff everywhere.

It gives me a nice feeling reading about other devs who just don't get async/await, observables or destructuring. Not because I think they are idiots, but because I think "This seems to be hard and I already know about it!"

But yes, I probably poured days into learning observables and probably can't use them in my next projects.

> Dig into past research.

This is a nice thing, because most people don't do this.

I got a big book on HCI research of the last 50 years or so and I always find nice solutions for my problems there. Since many of the web and mobile problems have already been solved with experiments on research devices that never went mainstream.

> Take on big projects. Get uncomfortable.

Also: Let your life depend on it ;)

If you need to pay the rent with a project, you're much more inclined to "really" finish the thing and "really" learn the hard parts you need to understand before you can implement the solutions, which you need to "ship".

(Okay, letting your life depend on it isn't that good of an idea, but if money is involved it's often easier for me to walk to the end. You always should have enough money backed up to survive a failed project or two, so you can also logically justify to leave your comfort zone)
Well going from iPad to iPad Air back to iPad is a bit disappointing. They should have pushed to hit the 299 dollar mark for the physiological impact. Did notice the Mini is a 128g device where the larger iPad is a 32g. The iPad market is just to fragmented.

The oddity is why is it as thick as the previous generation and where did the laminated screen go? Is that no longer needed or cost cutting?
Because a prediction is just an assumption (theory), and it can become a house of cards when basing future science on that assumption. Observation is proof, so future science can use that proof without worry.

I've worked primarily as a frontend developer in the UK and the Netherlands for 12 years now and my experience has been exactly the opposite.

Although men still outweigh women I wouldn't think it unusual to see a female Java developer (I've mostly worked in java shops)

However I can only recall ever even interviewing one female front-end developer. From my experience they are incredibly rare.

Maybe my experience isn't typical or maybe it's geographical. Or is the article too subjective?

I see this line of thought pretty frequently. I don't really understand why we collectively believe that GPG is so tough. I started using it as a teen, barely even understanding the software, let alone how the actual encryption worked. I've come to understand it, but even when I didn't, it didn't seem difficult at all to get passable security out of it.

Cyphar has the right answer for why this would be problematic, though - GPG would just prove that the initial commit was from a trusted committer. It would be trivial to use the same signature with the fake commit. That's not an unsolvable problem, but switching to a different hashing algorithm seems to me like the more reasonable solution.

My gut feeling is that this will be coming pretty soon – probably when the appropriate Intel chipset is available. I understand and share the skepticism about purchasing one at the moment, but I'm holding off on thinking about a platform switch until it's clearer where the high-end Apple line is going.
Another advertiser pulls out of Google in the UK
We may be using different definitions of "best." In some companies, the best developers are the ones who keep their heads down, do what their told, and don't try to question authority, decisions, or direction. These traits are highly desirable precisely because people reliably do what their told.

In other companies, creativity is considered an asset. Most of the important work done at my previous company was largely completed by one very productive intern, which was surprising to discover. And at each of the companies I've worked at, I was given freedom to determine direction and implementation of the projects I was given, as long as the results were excellent.

Both approaches have merit, but if I were to bet on one, I'd choose the company that's liberal in granting freedoms but also willing to fire someone if they turn out not to be able to deliver. This has generally been a recipe for success at most startups, for example.

It's more cutthroat, but in a different way: the former is cutthroat politicking, whereas the latter is based entirely on a developer's capabilities. I'd rather be in an environment that rewards effectiveness rather than alliances. And when your effectiveness can only be demonstrated within the very narrow scope and boundaries set by your boss, then people who care about being effective tend to migrate elsewhere.

Most of this can be summed up as "The idea of paying your dues is anachronistic."

if they want everyone to use ipads they should make an ide for it.
Mine's not a children's toy, but it's almost useless now. Once they stop updating iOS for a device, it's pretty much game over. Many apps have stopped working due to the developers making mistakes and publishing incompatible updates. Just about the only app I can still use is NetFlix.
Except...the cell sites typically use antennas that have a high gain in the veritcal axis, meaning very low gain in the direction of high flying aircraft and a low probably that transmissions from phones inside a faraday cage at said high altitude will rise above its receiver noise threshold.
Looks like they tried as much as possible to make a low-cost full sized iPad. Would've been a good opportunity for Apple to have P3 wide color displays on all their lines.

Even more surprised it doesn't have laminated display, possible reason why it's thinker and heavier than the 9.7" Pro.

I have the 15" with touch bar and absolutely love it - everything from the shallow keyboard to the brightness to the massive touchpad. Just perfect. The touch bar was admittedly next to useless until I ran across an app ("BetterTouchTool") that lets me customize it freely with my own shortcuts and widgets - now I actually use the touch bar multiple times a day as opposed to never.

So I wouldn't completely give up on the Touch Bar versions, especially since the 15" has a good performance bump over the 13".
I suspect it is. Look at Chagnon's Yanomamo ethnographies, or at the Homeric epics. Or the Old Testament, or Beowulf, or Le Morte D’Arthur. Men cry at the drop of a hat in all of those.

The getting professors to fail you is such a great hack! But it's also really alien to me: In the UK, if you fail the first time, you can resit the exam so you can pass the module... but the exam mark is capped to the pass grade.

I also applaud his work ethic. However, when reading inspirational things like this, it often seems hard work is the only option. But working smart is also valid, and there's definitely a sweet spot of effort vs grade. I'm really not trying to diminish this guys work, quite the opposite. Keeping up with high achievers is (by definition) hard, and it's really easy to get stressed out. Getting top marks doesn't help too much in life (although it usually doesn't hurt) - especially if you don't intend to stay in academia. Other activities (working part time, hobbies) can also be really beneficial for their direct results (money, experience, balanced and healthy lifestyle) and indirect results (can also look good on a CV).

Finally, his English skills are awesome. My English skills also improved dramatically watching English TV and movies, and while frustrating at first, in the end it's a very fun route to improve one's skills.

What kind of work do you do? I'm tempted to jump on the 13" but I'd be coming from a 15" and am worried I'll be missing the extra screen space.

It's interesting that 1) that such a comparatively small portion of Wall Street came under political fire (whether or not it was justified) and 2) that the race to the bottom has slowly eroded profits across the industry, as it becomes more and more expensive to compete.
