I honestly don't care much about the Pro (since even with the speed bump it's still not that much better value for money) or the iMac (which is nonsensical for me given the form factor and my need for multiple displays) but am glad to hear about the mini still being alive, especially because my old Mini has just hit seven years.

Like many others, I put together a decent "tiny" Hackintosh (https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2016/12/17/1840), but ended up converting it to a Linux workstation because it turned out it was more useful to me as a VM host.

So I'm still using my ancient mini as an instant-on desktop (can't quite beat Apple's BT keyboards, really), and am looking forward to upgrading it - I just hope Apple realizes that it serves "semi-pro" uses well enough to gift it with at least as much CPU and RAM as the current MacBook Pro range...

I addressed all of these points in my last comment, which you are apparently going to just ignore so you can try to deflect to something else.

But, I can just imagine running this one by the patent attorneys as an open source library to include in our product.
I found that comment bizarre, someone correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I've seen in my own experience and other people in my field (3D CG) multi-GPUs seem to scale ridiculously well.

Seemed more of a case that no one wants to actually code for OpenCL on AMD...

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

At the time of release, their asking price for the dual D700 system was less than the price of buying just the two equivalent FirePro W9000.
That's a nonstarter because of UAE's requirements on censorship and backdoored surveillance ("lawful intercept"). They're at least on the level of China in this regard, maybe even worse.
I am also very unimpressed by anyone party's effort to combat it, but as this map exemplifies, we aren't even at that stage f the conversation yet with many folks. We NEED to be talking about how to combat it, but instead we're spending all of our time arguing about whether it exists. Which is insane! We're frogs sitting in a pot of water that's about to boil and arguing about whether it's getting hotter, instead of talking about how to jump out.

I'd love to be having policy conversations about solutions instead of doing that.
Welcome to the internet?!
I list agglomeration benefits from my study notes (Urban economics).

* Knowledge spillovers. This core idea for information-based
agglomeration economies. Robotics researcher benefits from touching randomly elbows with metallurgy expert and vice versa. Random human contact happens in internet too, but you don't form deep connections as a rule. Has anyone had a hours long beneficial discussion with random guy in the internet?

* Labor market pooling allows labor to be more efficiently allocated following productivity shocks. Changing jobs is easier. The ability to switch into a new job is first order agglomeration benefit. When large number of similar jobs are located at the same area, its easier for people to change jobs and find the job that makes them most productive.

* Marriage multiplies the effect of labor market pooling. When people marry each other and move together they must find a two jobs within working distance. If they are both highly specialized, highly educated or both, only largest cities allow best job for both without sacrifice.

* Services and more choices. Even a Pizza delivery guy can be more productive in dense city. That justifies the little higher salary for pizza delivery guy. There is more different services available. Increasing the value of the location.

* coagglomeration. The tendency of industries to colocate with other industries and form tight networks that respond fast to new demand.

* Cost of moving people. Travel time reduces productivity significantly.

* Logistics in general is and faster and more efficient. Benefit of moving goods is now considered relatively second order.

* Congestion has costs. Pollution and expensive housing are results of failing urban development. Without congestion costs the concentration of people into the best cities would be even faster.
I think the most common one for everyone would be "Not traveling when you had the chance" .I make it a point to travel every once in a while.And I feel that is not enough.But many of my friends are so caught up with busy life or says that they do not have money.I think you may never travel if you think that you will make enough saving to travel
Yeah, that's fair enough.
Math.js seems to evaluate using floats, but on your demo the results were always rounded.
That's only because you are already familiar with nginx configuration. The difference in size may not be a good measure of how easy it is to configure a webserver, that is true; however this shows how caddy is correctly configured by default in contrast to nginx. That's what the author wants to show.
This is true, unless you pay for the social network, or it's p2p.

It's not purposefully evil or inherently wrong, just an inevitable consequence of the business models involved in free-to-use social networks.

Truth. I had $1,500 earmarked for a new macbook pro before they launched. Switched to Linux for all my development work shortly after. Which, I should have done earlier tbh.
I've had one of my kindles replaced because it wouldn't connect to wifi anymore, and the rep said they are sending me a new one, and I don't have to send the old one back, but they are blacklisting it on their servers - so if I ever fix it, it won't connect to the internet at all.

It was a bit weird, but I guess acceptable in that situation.
Tim Berners-Lee seems to be much more idealistic about how the web should be in that regard, because he knows it's the right thing to do.

And yet he decided to be "pragmatic" on web DRM, instead of taking the same idealistic approach because it was the right thing to do.

Yea, at this point I'd only get a home if I was comfortable with severely limiting my job prospects. Even in the same metro area I've moved apartments after getting a new job so that my commute is around 30 minutes rather than the 1-1.5 hour commutes a lot of my home owning coworkers have had
No? If I went into a store to complain and my first words were "what kind of shit have I bought here?", then I don't think I'd have any cause for complaint if I were forcibly ejected and told to come back when I'd learnt how to behave myself. Same should apply online.
Any time that you want to use the software and you're not the copyright owner. The terms of the GPL grant you permission to use it under some circumstances that you wouldn't have otherwise.

It is true that sometimes it is not clear when you are satisfying the conditions in the GPL that allow you to use the software, since there is no case law. But the constraints that forbid you to use the code all come from copyright law, not the GPL itself.

> Food with poison in it is illegal to sell

Is is not. Only poisoned food that kills you quickly. You have plenty of legal food that harms your body or gives you diseases that are legal. We just call them junk food, alcohol, and other names because they are morally accepted.

You accept DRM as fact of life. We don't. Because it isn't. It's just the next move pulled out by the majors to try to lock in the consumer. It brings zero benefits to society. No culture sharing restriction ever did, and all the stats in the world show that what they claim to protect against is a scam: majors are making more money that ever.

> The fact that consumers as a group don't care enough is the main problem

It can be said about any problem in society. Health, education, whatever. Regulations are not the solution, having people caring is.

Still, we do have regulations.
> Yes those evil corporations, making a profit by providing a service!

Pretty low quality comment. Perhaps you misread. There are funeral homes that provide a service. Then there is SCI, which buys up the local homes and just increases prices. And they get away with it because they take advantage of people when they are mourning, aka emotional, and state regulations on the death industry vary widely.

The whole industry needs some heavy federal baseline regulations, IMO.

> SCI charges $6,256 on average (excluding casket and cemetery plot), 42 percent more than independents. [1]

And then there's numerous cases of SCI just overselling plots, skipping embalming regulations, etc.

The problem with Javascript can't handle complex computation where Swift could run on both Android, iOS, embedded, cloud, Linux and web server and majority of C/C++ libraries. Soon they might found way to implement Rust memory model, concurrency and Coroutine like Go. It will be nearly perfect or as good without writing 4 different languages.

Kotlin could run on all supported platforms and reuse Java libraries.

I don't even have a signature. While I can do lovely calligraphy, my actual handwriting is a testament to a failed Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test. Now, that's extreme, but how many people have a stable signature now when they almost never have to reproduce it?
Well game genres are rarely defined by the strict definition of their name. Role-playing games rarely have you actually play a role, they're defined as levels and stats and items you can pick up from loot crates. You can play an arcade game on a home console or PC, no quarters required. I play card games on my phone without actually owning a deck of cards.

An FPS has to be a shooter that's in first-person view, but does that make every game where you shoot something with a first-person camera view an FPS? What if the game has other elements? Which definition wins out? Is Fallout more RPG, or is it more FPS? Or is it a turn-based strategy game? Most people would say it's an RPG that happens to have guns and is played in first-person mode and part of the game mechanics is reminiscent of turn-based games.

When you say "FPS", it's a pretty strict definition, because if it's an RPG that happens to be played in first-person with a gun, it's going to be called an RPG first. Maybe RPG-FPS. But FPS really means "run around with a gun and your main interaction with the world is shooting it". There is an entire world of games that do exactly that, and we call them FPS games. Borderlands is an FPS with hints of MMO, dungeon crawler, and RPG, but since the main interaction with the world is running around with a gun and shooting things, it's an FPS. I don't think that's a bad thing.
It's funny, that I kind of did things in the wrong order.

When I was in my 20s, I lived alone in a nice place, as a developer I could afford it.

Now in my 30s I live in a shared apartment in London, I can technically afford to live alone, but I'd rather save the money (it would be twice as expensive).

It's not as bad as I had feared, and the community aspect can be interested, it can also be very bad if you end up with the wrong people (noise, ...)

All in all, I don't regret it.
OS/2 2.1 was a contemporary of Windows 3.0. Unlike Windows 3.x, it had preemptive multitasking and process memory isolation. It also had a nice-for-the-time GUI called Workplace Shell which was much nicer than Windows 3.x's Program Manager. It was very good at running DOS software, letting you make all of those config.sys/autoexec.bat tweaks on a per-program basis.

OS/2 3.0 (Warp) came out a couple of months before Windows 95. Compared to Windows 95, it was much more stable, but lacked compatibility for Win32 programs.

For me it's (1) that I get to live in a cool area (Boston/Cambridge) and (2) sitting by myself working remotely without being in an office full of coworkers would be unacceptably boring. Even putting aside the subtle ways that having in-person interactions benefits the work, I just wouldn't find the job fun anymore.
kind of off-topic but we need a MBP with an NVIDIA GPU
May they all do great. But I am sceptical that Scala/Kotlin and many others started in last decade stand chance against Java/Rust/Swift/Go. IMO these 4 are backed by powerful corporations and have large community momentum. They are going to keep >90% of all software work along with C/C++.

Apple upgrades Mac Pro, promises radical modular models, pro iMac and new displays
Companies and industries make purchasing decisions that lock them in for several years, so Apple probably finally got their head out of their ass as they could see people heading in another direction.

Once you've spent five years transitioning to, say, a Windows setup, there's a significant additional cost to going with Apple, and it's not like Apple has felt like a deluxe experience lately.
Whether or not it's caused by humans isn't relevant. If it's a problem, regardless of the cause, we ought to be thinking about what we can do to avoid it or to adapt.

So I don't understand why so much of the left chooses to frame the issue in such a way that makes it contingent on that cause.
From my experience, people get along pretty well in Germany even if they know only English. Especially in large cities like Berlin, where they are likely to get such a job. So many people speak good English here, that it is actually hard to learn German, because the natives don't want to speak German with you :-). I'm in research, and half of my institute here in Berlin are foreigners.

Of course, it still helps a lot to learn German - and I think you miss out on a lot if you don't learn the language of a country. Also, you'll need a friend or colleague to help you with administrative stuff in the beginning (which may be in German only).
Sure, I can answer your question. Probably the largest community of game AI devs is the Game AI Programmers Guild [1], which organizes an AI summit at the GDC every year, and has its own mailing list etc. On the European side, the Nucl.ai conference [2] fulfills a similar need for devs who don't want to travel nine time zones to California. :). Finally on the academic side, the annual AIIDE conference [3] brings both academics and devs together.

Between those three and their proceedings or conference videos, it's really easy to stay on top of developments in the industry. For an example, check out the AI Summit videos on the GDC Vault - many of them are free.

Planning approaches were a pretty new thing in games 10-15 years ago, but since then there's been a lot of work on exploring them, and people understand their benefits and limitations much better these days. For an example, there's a great study of the use of planning across many games by Eric Jacopin at GDC 2015 AI summit.

> The use of self-service in supermarkets is pretty patchy though.

That's kinda my point. The user experience is actually worse for many users. And it certainly doesn't handle all edge cases. It handles one specific case (of a customer with just a small number of small barcoded items) kind of acceptably, but slower than a human would.

But it's still being used, and replacing staff by reducing the overall number of staff required despite not handling all situations very well at all.

And this is the same mistake people make all the time when thinking about job automation. They say things like "I'm OK, my job could never be automated because a robot couldn't handle all the complex tasks I do like handling a customer complaint" but what they forget is that customer complaints is only 2% of their job. 80% is repetitive tasks that can be automated. So yeah, OK, one robot won't replace one person. But 10 robots and 1 person can replace 5 people. So now you have to reapply for your new job of robot supervisor/edge case handler, alongside your 4 other colleagues. And only one of you is going to get that job.

Dude, there isn't 'hoods' or ghettos in Boston, at least none that I recognize. Plenty of places deep in the south that are much more dangerous.
I think you need to understand a neighborhood well before you buy in. If you throw a dart on a map, yeah it's a lottery. But anyone without a hole in their head could tell (for example) that Broadway on the red line was going to explode, and it did!
That was my point - running KDE, this is extremely uncommon, running Windows, it's practically every application.
I'd be okay with putting the desktop on my desktop if the form factor was tight enough. Clearly that's what they were trying to do with their current Pro model, but at the expense of it being competitive. Just sayin', there's plenty of space in the corner behind my primary display.
This is completely irrelevant to this situation. Their Mac Pro sales have surely already reduced to a trickle, and they will know that they will not sell a huge amount of the updated bridging model. The iMac update has been expected for a while so they're not changing much mentioning that's coming later this year either.

It's not like killing the current Mac Pro sales is exactly going to put Apple in trouble - they're raking in money from the iPhone and MacBook (Pro) lines.

This is a carefully thought out plan from Apple for sure, unlike Osborne's blunder.
Although you do have to enter the station ~5 mins before the train leaves (allowing time to get through the ticket barrier, walk to the platform, board the train), plus exiting at the other end. My train gets into London Bridge in the morning at :32 but I don't get to the street until :36 because of the sheer volume of people. It seems minor, but it does all add up. That said, in rush hour there's no contest - that same journey would take 1 hour+.

That is not true. Being "GPL compatible" is not the golden rule by which software is considered Free Software; granting the "4 user freedoms" is.[1] Since the GPLv2 grants those freedoms, it is Free Software.
