The question stands regardless of who is doing the upgrading: why did Apple design a thermally constrained system for the pro market? What was the point?

My experience with the 2013 Mac Pro is dismal. They suffer from a widespread GPU overheating problem that leads to crashes on heavy workloads. It's probably the worst Mac ever.
All the stuff in the image was by us, and we fought and won for the space.

Wales is fundamentally part of the UK, and I would assume the Welsh we were represented within the /r/unitedkingdom place team. We certainly are in the subreddit. That was more /r/unitedkingdom but /r/wales did some defence of it.

As for the heart in placehearts, that was r/placehearts and their allies more than us. (The Wales/Faroe Islands heart in the image was all us.)

I would speculate T_D failed in large part because they attacked areas that were defended by bots, they (correctly) prioritized the flag, and trolling others.

I'm sure it didn't help that they've antagonized the entire Reddit community with their shitty lack of reddiquette in general since their inception.

I'd go further and suggest a lot of their members were lost to the Void, which I'd cynically suggest overlaps significantly.
Yeah, sorry about the scroll jacking. I'm using some off the shelf wordpress theme and I can't figure out how to disable it! I'm going to dig into the codebase a little and see whats causing it.

I wish the actual Formula 1 race shows would make more use of explanations and technical details. There's some mentions during the race by the reporters of some aspects of the technology, but they could do a lot better before and after with animations etc.

I watched this Top Gear video a while ago, showing one of their guys trying to drive a F1 car (and one of a slower league) around a race track, which is pretty tough if you're not trained to do so, because of the massive G-force in the turns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9773pisjCSw

Compared to that, the race reporting often looks kind of dull and slow.

The problem is being made much worse than it would be if our government accepted the science.

Yes, renewables are getting quite cheap, and coal is dying one way or another. But the amount of coal that gets pumped into the atmosphere before we're done with it will be far higher than it needed to be.

If you think the solution isn't political, then obviously you'll disagree with me, but you're unlikely to convince me that government intervention doesn't matter here.

That's why I separated the kind of bullying it is.

Maybe I didn't explain my thought-process very well, but the idea is it may have not been directed specifically to bully, but by making statements, like "you're taking offense to pixels", there is an unintentional/passive form of bullying going on. It gives off the feeling of "well not everybody feels this way so it's just you and you shouldn't really be feeling this anymore or at all". Not everybody can just shut off feelings like that or desensitize themselves from a symbol. Plain and simple. It's just not that easy.

IMO bullying can also make someone feel uncomfortable; not necessarily in a threatening sense, but in a way where the person just doesn't feel right, like they don't fit in properly- the bullying makes them stand out and not in a 'good' way.
Langsec FTW.

2.0 is just a time-based version numbering change. Besides dropping Python 2 support, 1.11 -> 2.0 will not be any more of a break compared to 1.8 -> 1.9.

If your code works on 1.11 without warnings, it will work on 2.0 just fine.
Myself and all the Data Scientists I know use Python, while the Data Analysts in my company use R. Does R have anything like the Natural Language Tool Kit that Python has? Or SpaCy for fast NLP? Also, between PYKE, ProbLOG, and python-constraint, a lot of my logic programming needs are satisfied in Python. Does R have anything like that for logic programming?
But Finder lets you drag any folder into an Open or Save dialog to navigate the dialog to that folder. That's something that continually frustrates me in Windows.

> “The difference between high and low amplitude is the difference between my son and a great pianist playing ‘Ode to Joy’ on the piano,” Chambers says. ... Pepperidge Farm shortbread cookies are considered to have high amplitude. So are Hellman’s mayonnaise and Sara Lee poundcake. [So are Coke and Pepsi.]

Ugh. Give me low-amplitude foods, then...

Also, sounds like Coke and Sara Lee poundcake might be more comparable to "Happy Birthday" or "I Wanna Hold Your Hand:" bland and popular. "Ode to Joy" performed by a great pianist is a specialized taste usually only experienced by people who care about what they listen to.
@xname1 I agree. I see this up close.
I love this idea. I recently saw a documentary about the home-cooked lunch business in India -- basically women, often single mothers, cooking great food at home and then middlemen selling it on a subscription level to office workers.

But how do you reconcile "home-made" (as opposed to restaurant-made) with whatever Health Department equivalent operates in your area?

As a Canadian I can safely say I pay about 50% of my earnings in various taxes.

I don't mind too much because I never really see the money, and I get useful government services out of it for the most part. Would I like my taxes to be lower? Sure. But I see the benefit to society my taxes bring.
>Take away the federal money and the states won't be able to afford it. Or won't want to pay it. The problem isn't social security, it's schools and healthcare.

>And it's not like you can just leave children to grow up without schools or let infections go untreated.

Having actually looked it up, federal funding is only 13% of public education ie it would be absolutely trivial to require states to fund state green card immigrants. Likewise emergency healthcare isn't federally subsidized. Plus, it's highly unlikely that allowing this program would actually even increase the number of immigrants we have, just make the illegal ones legal.

Your arguments are completely strawmen.

Problem: people don't want to have to enter the sms TAN manually when they do online banking.

Solution: I'm creating an android app + webservice + chrome plugin to do it automatically.
So the app reads the tan from the sms, sends it to the webapp. The webapp sends it to the browser plugin. Browser plugin enters the tan for you. ... Huge win :)

User base: everyone who does online banking with sms TAN 2fa but can't be bothered to enter the tan manually/doesn't care to much about security. ... So basically just me I guess ;)

My 73 year old mom is quite happy with the 2014 Moto G I got her three years ago. I guess she'll need something new now (No idea if it has a BCM wifi chipset, but I'm guessing so - how do you even find this out without having physical access to the device?).

I'm thinking Apple may be the way to go this time, because they maintain security updates for older devices for longer. (Seems like 5+ years.)

Another way of looking at this is that lacking security updates create unnecessary electronic/chemical pollution/waste. I think the EU should tackle this. I'm sure they could come up with some scheme for penalties for lacking security updates. (Does anyone know of any initiative in this area?)
Thanks - yes, I'll have to try and see.

I'm a diehard racing fan and F1 is the absolute pinnacle of car technology. I go to the Montreal Grand Prix every year (Singapore this year) and it's by far the most exciting point of my year.

The only thing though... with this insane technology, we see less and less 'real racing' which is a shame.

I read an article (will try to find it) that was saying last week at this year's first race, there was only 1 racing pass the whole race.

It's become a challenge of who has the best first 3 seconds of the race to get into pole position. Once you are in first, besides a strategical error by your team, you can essentially stay in first for the rest of the race.

I'm a Ferrari fan and am hoping this year they can shape up, but I want to see some more passes!

My dad is a Formula 1600 driver here in Canada, and the 1600 races are ridiculously exciting. Open wheel madness, passes all over the track, so much fun.

For really smooth interop between Kotlin and a host platform, I don't think there can be just one Kotlin Native. Perhaps it would be better to target just one platform initially. Here's what my ideal Kotlin for iOS would look like:

The compiler wouldn't compile to native code using LLVM, but would produce Objective-C source code, to be compiled with Apple's clang compiler. That way, no matter what crazy requirements Apple throws at us tomorrow (similar to 64-bit and bitcode), we don't have to wait on JetBrains.

Kotlin's Any type should be synonymous with NSObject.

Kotlin's String type should be synonymous with NSString.

Kotlin shouldn't define its own concrete collection classes on this platform, but should use NSArray, NSDictionary, NSSet, and their mutable counterparts.

The standard library should be the intersection of the Kotlin JVM and JS standard libraries. Nothing more, at least at first.

Any reflection facilities should be in a separate, optional library. I want to be able to ship an app without the slightest hint of run-time dynamism, to keep Apple happy.

Memory management should be ARC. Period. This means we'll need a Weak annotation.

Edit:

The ability to export Kotlin classes to ObjC, with control over the names of classes and methods, and support for ObjC properties.

Basically, I want J2ObjC for Kotlin, but with no concrete collection classes of its own, and generally much less of a runtime library.

Everyone benefits from thinner and lighter. We only benefit from more battery life if you reach the end of your capacity.

For phones, it's an easy product decision, thinner/lighter is always better. You give the most benefit to the most users, and those who really need more battery life can get a battery case and pay the weight/thickness costs alone.

For a Macbook, it's a closer decision, but I think in this case they still reached the same battery life as the older laptops made the decision reasonable. Remember that it wasn't that long ago that a 7 hour laptop battery life was extraordinary, 10 hours should be plenty for most users. And there are also battery packs you can get if it isn't'.

I heard that Apple wasn't able to get a custom fitted 85 watt-hour battery ready in time for the release, and I expect they will refresh the MBP lineup with it when it's ready, giving an 11-12 hour battery life.
Thanks!

So, for the record, that's exactly the approach we're taking with Ubuntu Core. We're getting there! Thanks for the feedback.
Interesting. When did this happen? Was it discounted?
> It's like a restaurant that gives out free food - why wouldn't you want to eat there?

Because I'm not hungry. A restaurant is a good example -- it does not induce demand, it services it. If lots of hungry people are around, a free restaurant will service them. And if hunger is a persistent issue, then yes, your restaurant might be packed and busy.

But that's never an argument to tear down a restaurant! A restaurant does not create hunger, a restaurant does not cause hunger -- it solves hunger for some number of people. And making the restaurant free doesn't make that problem worse, it makes it better. Lots more people get fed, and almost no one is going to sit around and eat 20 lunches per day, even if it's free to do so.

> If you add a demand-priced toll to a road, and adjust the price to maintain a certain level of traffic flow, induced demand will not occur.

Sure it will, your just not measuring it. You've just "induced demand" on a bunch of other non-toll roads, that are all conveniently not this specific road, so your limited statistics of this road can artificially make your change look successful.

'Solving traffic' by tearing down roads, is roughly akin to 'curing diseases' by tearing down hospitals. It makes your stats look good, by making those statistics lie through omission.
