If you were new to modern macOS(and iOS with the Files app) you might end up with something similar. Applications dump things in the main Documents folder(with user chosen names, but those are necessary metadata). You can then tag items with various labels(essentially adding more metadata), and everything is searchable through spotlight of the search function of our file manager using the user-given name, tags, and metadata(documents edited today, Pages files).

Photos and videos are managed entirely in the photos app, and organised almost exactly according to your suggested categories(literally called memories (for events), places, people). iTunes handles audio files automatically(you can sync your own files into apple music, where they're categorised in the same way as any other music).

As I understand it, APFS also handles copying and modifying in a similar way to your description, where a copy of a file is treated as a mutation of the previous version.

Everything is even synced through iCloud to all your devices, with all macOS devices keeping a rather complete copy, unless they run out of disk space.

This would require someone to have their first experience of computing in the modern Apple ecosystem(literally iOS 11 and up) to avoid preconceptions about filesystems, since traditional folders are still supported, but it's possible.
It sounds like you're on board with the testing idea, but just think the tests should be more/longer.

This is pretty much Tensorflow on metal. Considering that tensorflow works pretty well on most mobile phone GPU, im betting this feature can be turned on for most phones if Google wants.

I would love to see the apples to apples comparison of the Pixel tensorflow computation running on a vanilla snapdragon GPU vs this custom core.

Also will be interesting to know why halide and not opencv.

This is not as effective as you might think.

We reveal so much more about ourselves than we could ever imagine. If you use, or used Reddit, Snoopsnoo [1] is a site that uses incredibly primitive language parsing to build a profile on users based on what they've voluntarily submitted. And again I have to emphasize that is using very primitive parsing. It's disconcerting how much we reveal when an algorithm is able to rapidly and effectively piece it together.

Now when enter the government that data can be cross matched against other meta-data to nail down your identity to a very small segment, if not outright match it. And then we get into things like language analysis. I make some token effort to anonymity, but my wife has mentioned she often knows its me posting before seeing the username. And I can do the same for other people I know well. No idea what we're picking up on, but it's a task that machine learning would be phenomenally well suited to do - and do better than we do. And then there are things like more explicit dialect issues. This [2] is a quiz based on American dialects. Again it is phenomenal how much your vocabulary, which undoubtedly you view as 'proper', actually reveals your location. Our very language is not only a finger print but also a geo-tracker.

I disagree. Legislation and tax policy are very blunt instruments of control. By its nature it is harder to change laws than it is business practices. This is why you get things like the 'double irish' tax dodge. I am a bit cynical here but if you legislate based on principle you lose special interest funding (or worse it aligns against you in the next election) so changes have to be carefully worded to avoid a clear path back to the source, often there is a minimum amount of "distance" that legislators seek between the problem behavior and the introduction of legislation.

I mean, there are many reasons to work for a startup but pay is not one of them. If you want the payout, work for one of the majors.
I'm a long time Dropbox user, paying €14 per month (including the extended version history and taxes).

If I upgrade to Pro to try it out and then downgrade to Plus, I'll probably lose the "shared link controls" feature. To take a feature out of a current plan in order to convince people to jump on your new plan — that's a pretty shitty thing to do for any company.

Also €14 is already above the threshold that I'm willing to pay as a professional and yes, I rely on Dropbox to keep my data safe and for sharing stuff with others. But I've been doing it in the hope that Dropbox will include features that I need and I've been glad to support them.

Features like online full-text indexing are missing from Plus and I need that, because I'm searching for documents on my mobile phone too. And I've been putting up with it hoping that it will eventually be included.

And now they want me to pay €20 for that, not including the extended versioning? I'm also a FastMail user, paying around €4 for email. So that would be a €24 per month for file storage, plus email, forgoing the extended version history, going out of my own pocket.

Well, Google's GSuite for Business is €9.52 (including taxes), which includes email and unlimited storage (they say 1TB for under 5 users, but truth is they aren't capping your account until you abuse it). And on last year's Black Friday I saw Office 365 Family offers for €4 / month.

Now I understand that Dropbox has the best sync engine. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now — and I might try the Pro plan this month. But if that Smart Sync feature doesn't do wonders for me, I'm switching, sorry.

Also Smart Sync is not available for Linux. Again, I've been putting up with their big price because I care about Linux. Not seeing the Linux client evolving however makes me wonder about their long term support and seriously, if they ever drop Linux support, I'll drop them like a hot potato.
Certainly not all of them... I have used my SP4 as my only PC for several months at a time, doing everything from coding and CAD at work to gaming and Netflix at home and I've experienced no issues.

Hmm, it might be because we run Windows on the macbooks, but you're right -- maybe it didn't fully shut down. Even sleep is pretty disruptive; it takes my machine ~30s of playing-dead before it pops back, and I'm booted from the VPN and all my connections. I run into this accidental-coffee-break every now and then.

The idea that Europe went from the middle ages into the Reinassance unassisted thanks to a handful of people in Italy is eurocentric revisionism.

What really happened was:

After the Spanish Reconquista (the fall of Al-Andalus, or Islamic Spain), the Toledo school of translators translated all the material brought from early Islamic Universities (aka Madrasas) into Latin. Those books were then used in the first European universities and scholar centers such as Oxford.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_translations_of_the_12th...

...also the Islamic empire was razed to the ground by the Mongols after the Siege of Baghdad. A bunch of knowledge carefully collected for centuries conveniently fell in European hands and today we have this urban myth of people like Leonardo Da Vinci figuring it all out on his own.

There is merit in the Reinassance and people like Leonardo, but they are a part of an uninterrupted chain of teaching and learning, not reclusive geniuses that came out with all the answers out of nowhere, a premise that has been used as the foundation for an arrogant sense of exceptionalism.

You can downvote this all you want but it won't make it false.
Am I the only one who has been heavily using the new MBPs since launch, with zero keyboard issues whatsoever? And I sometimes eat at my laptop.
This is quite fair. No message to "put all your money in land!" was intended, and indeed we see many cases of localized manias, the galloping of irrational exuberance. Land bubbles come and go, but the underlying cause is the same. What's productive about bidding up the price of land, after all?

I am writing this on Mac, I have several more, but since passing of Steve Jobs, things are just not right.

Anyhow, looking at new Microsoft machine, with great graphics card and every feature I would want (sd card, thank you!), couldn't help but think about how things have changed.

Oh and biggie, it has Esc key! Can you imagine that :)
Yeah, but it's about the IoTs. A great many IoTs have no real security beyond whatever WiFi can provide, and.. you can imagine why: provisioning them with credentials that local systems will be able to validate and trust is.. non-trivial.

Worse: IoTs generally have no firmware/software update cycles, so vulnerabilities like this one are forever.

My plan is to build tiny one-device wifi/wired bridges for all my IoT devices that have wired ethernet. For the other IoT devices the plan is to update or replace them. What's yours?

I don't think Chili's is going to automate bringing the food to you any time soon, but they're probably considering putting kiosk tablets to order drinks and pay to save a few trips (I haven't been to a Chili's in a while, but these things are invading most of the chains I frequent).

McDonald's now has automated drink machines, mobile ordering and in select locations kiosk ordering (on giant touch screens). They've also experimented with call center handling of drive through ordering, so could be ready to potentially hand that over to voice recognition as well.

I think it's a long time before food service jobs are all automated away, but some of the jobs are going away. (McDonald's claims they plan to keep the same number of employees, and shift to provide more service in the seating area)
On last year's Black Friday, in Romania (my country) I saw Office365 Family offers for $50 and you can simply wait for Black Friday next year to renew.

On the other hand OneDrive's client is shitty and until last month they weren't doing file versioning either. So it's just a cheap knockoff and you get what you pay for.

Microsoft Office being included is cool, but then me and my colleagues are collaborating with Google Docs, which is way better than anything else when multiple people are editing the same files. For presentations I'm using Apple's Keynote, which is the best I've seen thus far. And there's always LibreOffice for those docs I receive.

What I use OneDrive for are backups with https://www.arqbackup.com — if I can find good offers this year, I might renew and keep my backup system, otherwise no.
To me all of them sounded dramatically different. Then again I'm a musician of sorts. I'm sure there are all sorts of variables, including what sort of music(s) a person typically listens to.

> Also, the difference between positive and negative rights is an important one not enough are aware of.

I'd go further than that; I'd say that the difference is strongly downplayed in political and educational contexts because so much Government overreach is predicated upon people not knowing, or not caring, about the difference.

Also, even people who /do/ understand, often don't care. Because if they did, they'd have to concede that many Federal programmes in the US are unconstitutional, that is, they involve powers not explicitly delegated to the Federal Government by the Constitution.

And folks want their FCC, FDA and Obamacare, so they let it slide ...
Indeed. I used to work for another big mail sending service, and you would not believe the amount of effort that goes into maintaining good deliverability.

There was an entire team called "ISP relations" whose sole job was to work with big ISPs when one of our IPs get blacklisted.

There was another team that would interview customers after their sending passed a certain threshold to see if they were following best practices. They would ask questions like

* How did you collect your e-mail list?
* Did your users give explicit approval to receive list e-mails?
* Did you acquire this list indirectly, from another company/campaign? (big no-no).

Usually everything was fine, or the customer didn't know they were doing something wrong, and they corrected it. But not infrequently a customer (who pays a decent chunk of money/month) would be told they can no longer use the product. Besides it being the "right thing" to do, having recipients block or report spammy senders worsens the reputation of IP addresses.

An interesting exercise would be to calculate the number of man-hours put into maintaining the reputation of each IP address.

Nice to see Windows support. I think first class Windows support is an underrated factor in Rust's adoption as opposed to other similar languages (i.e. it had pretty good Windows support very early).
I lived in some place in africa where you are required to have way more interactions for basic days to days activity. No phonebook. No map. No price or list of ingredients. When you want an info you have to ask.

Well, we got rid of those.

With a lot of modern services (social networks, online administration, food delivery) we are doing the same.

Robots will allow people to avoid people. And they will do it.

Why ? Because we created a society that requires to play a lot of games and people just want to be themselves​ without having to pay for it. They also don't want to pay for the unhappiness or inadequateness of others.

There will be a reverse tendency once people realize they need humans to be happy. But it won't start by that.
It looks like they are releasing these bits and pieces before the Finale. Custom ARM core, SOC in entirety.
Indeed, I'm not even sure that aside from intentionally editing the PowerManagement.plist that you can do this. On my Macbook Air, you have to hold in the power button for a short period to produce the Sleep/Restert/Shutdown pop-up, and the default is cancel, I believe. Apple's own page on the matter says it requires a 1.5 second hold to produce. [0]

I appreciate your over-all sentiment that when the default behavior for power buttons was to take action, but my expectation now is that bumping the power button should ask you what to do, not do something. I'm still surprised that many Windows based laptops have a default action mapped to the power button regardless of the placement of the button, as interrupting the state of the machine just seems like something you'd want a confirmation on - aside from a few outlier "oh crap no one can see this" moments, I'm not sure why you'd need the quick bump to initiate shutdown or any action from the power button at all. Even in the above situation, a shutdown is far slower most times than just a hard shutdown.

Edit: Seeing your follow up, I feel that you should really update your original post to mention that it was running Windows via Bootcamp. macOS and Windows respond very differently to a power button press, and Windows' default is to take a sleep, hibernate, or shutdown action, and at least on our Server 2016 images, the default behavior is to initiate a shutdown. This isn't OS X behavior, it's Windows behavior.

If you're disregarding programmer convenience in the name of performance, then do it. But once you make the decision to trade off some performance for convenience -- no matter how much or how little you give up/get -- you start losing the high ground for preaching to others about how they should refuse to trade what you see as inappropriate amounts of performance for convenience, because now you're just arguing matters of degree and unquantifiable personal taste.

Use BetterTouchTool for the Touch Bar.

It allows you to customise it for each application and assign your own buttons based on menu items, scripts etc. For development it is amazing. I have dedicated buttons for Build, Run, Debug, Stop, Step Into and Step Over. For terminal I can adjust terminal profiles with one button.

Also blame Intel more than Apple for performance issues.
