iOS 10.3 was a hell of a test-run for case-sensitive filesystems.

On the Mac side, we've got potential case-insensitivity, so I believe the case-insensitive version of APFS is the upgrade to keep an eye on.

Although there is hope that EUV will help control design rules, the current expectation for developing a 10nm design is in the $200M range. It's expected to double at 7nm and again at 5nm. Try amortizing that over anything but an iPhone, Samsung, or PC volumes.
Hololens. Probably the most powerful AR device available atm.
yeah but do you need core i7 and full GPU to use a tablet mode? What can you do in tablet mode to use the specs that surface users gloat about?
I know he is, but that's not the same thing as what he's implying and, even then, Apple's solution is opt-in while Microsoft's was on by default.
I guess password manager and U2F yubikey.
What's the refresh rate of the Surface? 60Hz -- when on battery power it's 30Hz. The iPad Pro is 120Hz. It has a 12 core GPU, a six-core CPU.

That's huge for content creators.

Your post is nonsense. De novo lipogenesis is not efficient in humans; sugar doesn't metabolized into fat. But fat is readily stored in adipose tissue. That's why meat eaters are fat and sick while low fat vegans are of superior health.
Alexa keeps getting smarter and is substantially less at $50 for the dot (frequently on sale for $40).

The dot is also superior because it can work with any bluetooth speaker or AUX speaker. Apple once again is 2 years behind everyone with inferior technology.
For example: The user will no longer see the ads for items they may have previously searched for (even if this is unwanted/unpopular) - that's a a change. Sorry to be so pedantic but it's not accurate to say nothing behaves differently.
Note that I didn't say it wasn't a selling point for PHP. It's just that I can count on no fingers large PHP projects I've seen where deployment is still that simple – and that's generally not a problem because with modern tooling (e.g. Ansible) and deployment options (e.g. containers) you're under less pressure to make that a deciding factor for your application.

And Siri is ~1-2 years behind Echo/Google Home. Only "innovation" is on aesthetic design.

Apple usually comes in when they know they can do something a lot better than the existing competition, but not recently. Not with Apple Watch & HomePod.

It's now about:

1) Apple has massive distribution
2) They can get a non-step-function revenue increment with that massive distribution, launching new products.

Which makes sense why it's music focused (lock-in with Apple Music)
No, this is completely untrue. You can't just shove Windows into a touch based cloud world. You had to start over with something like iOS. Plus Apple is pretty user friendly, something Windows never really got.
But what's the point of getting core i7 and power hungry gpu to use a tablet mode?
Hmmm but their actual camera app?

What will happen is a developer will build the app I mentioned above (could exist already) and then Apple will later build it into the camera app. I've never seen an app maker build functionality into any of the iPhone built in apps.
Full disclosure: white dude, not a minority of any kind in my country.

Five years ago, I would have said that the percentage of women in an office isn't necessarily a good indicator of anything. Nowadays, this would be my first advice: ask how many women work there.

With maybe one exception, all the places I've worked in that had very few women were terrible places to work in. Most of them were unpleasant to work in even for men who think "bro" is not a word to be uttered after you turn 19.

Teams that have a strong bias against women act on it almost universally: they drive candidates away with shitty and/or unenthusiastic interviews and they make life hard for those candidates who do get through. They don't end up with all-male teams just because reputation preceeds them and no woman wants to work there -- they end up with all-male teams because prejudice and insecurity tend to tip the balance of their hiring decisions, too.

It's not a universal predictor, but I definitely consider it a red flag. Frankly, it's one that I look at, too. I'm not the SJW type, but when I got into this whole programming thing, hacker communities used to be inclusive and diverse, and I kind of like to keep that going.
Inside the YC Application: WittyThumbs (S17)
Google has at least three AR products: Glass is still in business for enterprise, Tango tablets and phones are finally out, and future versions of Daydream are supposed to be capable of inside-out tracking via an AR tracking system.

Microsoft has the HoloLens, which technology they have also cannibalized for a series of headsets they are dubbing "Mixed Reality" for the depth camera pass-through they are performing.

HTC is supposedly developing their own AR/inside-out system.

Leap Motion, Intel, Qualcomm, Meta, and Magic Leap are still considered in the running, with varying levels of believability.

And then there are a slew of different companies that are doing AR solutions with either the standard webcam (e.g. Facebook, Snap, Vuforia, Wikitude) or their own, standalone camera (e.g. Zed, Occipital).
Because they aren't getting paid to enrich our lives?
I may be mis-remembering the level of rigor, it may have just been a thing a professor tried because they were curious.
First Interview with the Climber Who Scaled El Capitan Without a Rope
The context any statement is made in is very important and can't be ignored. At the time, we all remember the touchscreen devices that were popular. They had tiny little UI elements and basically required a stylus to interact with them.

I would make a slight but important modification to your second sentence:

concluded that interacting with a handheld device's *UI* with a stylus
sucks on principal.

That still holds. It's not a fair interpretation to think that Jobs considered having an optional stylus a failure.

I agree with respect to Quora in general, but that link summed up my feelings on the subject so I included it instead of writing it out myself.

What an utterly pointless statement.
Comparing

- Running investigations, police officers being known and trusted "faces" in their community, and surveilling people in meatspace

To

- Running grep on every TCP packet of 65 million people, then asking a relatively small number of LEOs to "do something" when analysts see something that could be suspicious

The former seems more likely (to me) to succeed.

I wonder where iPad line will be in few years. Personally I don't see a reason to use an iPad over my macbook, but if this trend continues, then it might be a reasonable pc replacement for most users.
Last set of numbers I saw, Samsung Gear VR sold 5x Daydream and PlayStation VR sold 6x Daydream. The new HTC U11 isn't even compatible due to lack of OLED. So, unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit of a flop. The biggest players, Samsung being the largest Android manufacturer, have their own headsets and the smaller players like HTC aren't even going all in. The hardware wasn't even well designed. Covering the back of phones with cloth led to overheating.
Sounds like this is more in line with what they did with ApplePay vs traditional credit cards--I.e. They give you randomized IDs each time so the other party can't track you from transaction to transaction. Adds can still appear but they won't know who you are, so it's a direct shot at Google and others looking to give people "targeted" adds based on user behavior. I agree it's an issue that needs addressed. Just because I searched for X two days ago doesn't mean i want to see adverts on X for the next two months.
For now it's more like how Snapchat's latest world filters work (try them out). Basic environment tracking, good enough for a smooth experience, considering you keep your camera steady.

Tango takes the tracking to the next level. Maybe future iPhones will have that kind of IMU and other sensors, allowing Apple to expand their AR API.
Part of the joy (for some people) of the keynote is Hair Force One's Dad Jokes™. It's never been high-brow, nor is there any attempt at it.

How does it deal with stereo mixes? In the keynote they casually mentioned that you might want to get two, but I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not.

You don't even need the font metrics API. Draw a span containing the character "m", measure the width of the span using Element.clientWidth. Unless you taint (almost literally) the entire CSSOM, you can pull off similar things.

APFS don't support compression like HFS+ ?
I said we're close. I think we're less than 5 years away from macOS being phased out. I'd put money on it.

edit: People really dislike this comment. I'm not claiming desktop class devices are going away, I'm claiming that iOS is growing into a desktop class OS, and we are absolutely at that threshold. I hope anyone downvoting can explicitly address that.

VacationBot: The only Slackbot you need for vacation reminders
The really infuriating thing about this report is the message these terrible applications give to users. "Links to other files?" And the inquiry about whether those "links" should be "updated?" That's a ridiculous, terrible, message to express "remote code execution." Just as bad is "automatic update of links."

The hell? If I were reading this (as a sophisticated user who isn't a security expert), I'd just assume there was some kind of weird document embedding thing going on. Not that "link to other file" meant "RUN ARBITRARY APPLICATIONS AND PROBABLY EXECUTE ARBITRARY CODE."

Even the warning about "To access this data Excel needs to start another application" is incredibly deceptive. The data in a CSV is perfectly damn accessible without Excel opening anything else. It ought to say "to execute the commands embedded in this data, Excel needs to start another application," so that people bloody well know that they're not just viewing data but they're actually doing something.

Horrible, horrible, horrible communication.
Huh? You can't just compare numbers. Surface Pros GPU and CPU in i7 configuration are significanty faster than iPad Pros.

No, but I kind of ignored it as that argument is irrelevant. What they've always done has no bearing on the situation. It was illogical then, and it's illogical now. Nothing has changed.

Yeah, they are compatible with more systems, but at the cost of screwing up the standard. Just because it's no longer tied to Silverlight is irrelevant. None of that refutes any of my arguments. They could just throw their weight around release the videos DRM free and be done with it, but they choose not to.
Magic Leap is conspicuously but rightly missing from your list, because they're a fraud that's nowhere near releasing a real product, and whose bullshit is besmirching and dragging down the reputation of AR.

Supposedly it is a very good speaker, so if you compare it to Sonus Play3 or Play5 it is within that range.
If the C level including the CEO have (young) children, imo the workplace is saner.
I really hope they'll enable other music providers as well. Or at least a bluetooth speaker mode.
Idiomatic sounds like preference to dogmatism rather than pragmatism which is generally the worse tradeoff.

I would say generally C++ style has evolved through last decades with people understanding class based architecture as an antipattern and data pipelines based on preferably immutable data as the more robust and understandable approach. This has nothing to do with language standards or 'idiomatic' constructs - both can be expressed as perfectly elegant C++, using the '98 or '11 or '17 variant.

But anyway, within this context -
refactoring old code - I would not expect a legacy codebase to resemble 2017 C++ as much as 1997 C++. This is the main reason I find the claim of methods to understand circa 2004 C++ to be outdated to be silly.
Hmmm.

At last for the web (which is what WebP targets mostly, right?) you don't need broad support. We have the new <picture> element where the UA selects the most appropriate image from a list of options.

This is competing against Sonos and similar audio-focused speakers, at least in my mind. Plus, it's not subsidized by advertising.
I think in common tongue this might be called a "party".
White girl here - I totally agree with this approach.

Look for the egos!
Ask what happens if a developer disagrees with PM requirements, ask if they do code reviews/how they run code reviews, ask how they interact with QA (some times unfairly perceived as lesser teammates), etc

I find workplaces with a wide range of backgrounds, ages, married/unmarried, kids/no kids, university educated/self taught, are the most accepting/professional environments.
Yeah, in fact I think in more adult or government teams someone non-binary might be better off.

You'll have easy union and HR support if needed and most people in such positions just want to get the job done and stay out of eachother's way, that attitude leads to friction minimization as a strategy instead of personal lives getting in the way of things. So if not caring is good enough for you, then it's possibly a good move.

As others have said, a workplace that involves more intermingling of social and work lives seems more likely to cause problems.
There's a proposal that was floated some years back in Atlanta around grocery stores. South of interstate 20 is a food desert. So the proposal said that a corporation and it's subsidiaries could not build a new grocery store anywhere in the city, without also building one in a disadvantaged area. It never went anywhere but I wonder if this might work in an area where more housing is needed. In order to get the building permit you are required to offset one project with a low income project in pre-determined areas.
You are absolutely starting out with the wrong mindset. Assuming the worst is absolutely a mindset that self-fulfills.

Based on your use of racist and sexist language, OP, I would probably NEVER hire you and I actively seek to keep people like you out of my organizations.
I think they are positioning as a Sonos killer (price is inline w/ that as well) rather than echo killer.

Thats probably a mistake but it does appear thats their strategy. The "smart" part of the speaker is a total afterthought it seems.

Historically, their strength is UI and maybe they don't know how to find their feet in voice. It would explain siris lack luster performance in comparison to Google and Amazon.

Very much disappointed w/ this offering.
They didn't forget. If you go to the store page, there's a message that they're updating.
He said that over seven years ago. Two years before the Surface. The tablets at the time definitely did require a little pointy device to access the Start menu and interact with the "Tablet" OSes that were just desktop OSes with a few bolt-ons.
Go re-read the article and tell me again how they're "political opponents"? We're getting sufficiently abstract here that it's worth going back and re-reading what we're actually talking about. Their politics were never at question here, nor was this a political stage. This is a private university choosing who to admit, based on the culture they wish to encourage. Let's not elevate what they were doing to "politics".

If the article was "withdraws acceptances for people who advocated X political belief" (e.g. "less funding for universities", "less power to teachers' unions", "private healthcare", take your pick of things that the average university faculty is likely to disagree with), I'd be right there arguing against that; all of those are reasonably debatable topics in the right forums. Which is exactly why there's no slippery slope there: when it's something worth defending, there's no shortage of defenders. So why does there inevitably spring up an army of defenders to support bigots? There's no "first they came for" argument here; first they came for the bigots, and then they stopped and threw a party.

(On a technical forum, in particular, there ought to be an appreciation for historical pattern matching; today "bigotry against outgroups" looks a lot like yesterday's "bigotry against outgroups", and it really shouldn't be a battle that has to get re-fought for every outgroup. One of these days I have hope that people could simply complete the pattern and skip the next dozen instances of it. It's the same battle every time, all the arguments look the same, and the right and wrong answers are always the same.)

At this point, I don't feel like there are any new arguments to make here. I think both of us are well aware of the arguments, I don't think either of us is particularly inclined to change their stance, and I see little value in going through the motions. All the arguments either one of us might reasonably make are posted elsewhere. So, in the interests of the honesty you've expressed an appreciation for: let's stop wasting each others' time.
Interesting. Did you try to find the manuals on Amazon or eBay (e.g. sold as used books)? Just an idea.

Yes, and in the same keynote, they let Siri track stuff down you 'might' be interested in based on patch searching.
The fact that it's free for site owners suggests it has some benefit to Google, so I assume heavy fingerprinting and tracking.
