I love the keyboard on new MacBooks. I'd like to have a keyboard like that for my desktop PC actually. I like how low travel it is, allowing me to type super fast with minimal effort, also it is nice to touch and makes nice sounds when typing.
Yes, I believe so.

Ironically (considering all the prognostication) one of the main examples you cite is factually incorrect.

which is what happened to Microsoft, stagnating its stock for ~15 years

Microsoft stock ticker - https://finance.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:MSFT

The longest "stagnant" period is directly after the dotcom bust and up to 2007. In that period the stock appreciated by ~10%. Over the following decade it appreciated by ~150%. Not quite the dramatic hockeystick growth curve startup folk like to see, but pretty reasonable for a company already 30 years old at that point. Either way, the quote above has no basis in reality.
That applies to all languages with exception of C, because they didn't want to standardize it as part of the language, hence we got ANSI C + POSIX instead.
Thing is, if they make a profile about you that includes race, religion, and sexuality, what is stopping them from denying a certain group of people a job in the public sector? Or to use it as basis to spy on you because "this type of profile tends to be violent/terrorist/communist/not patriotic enough".

Or to not give you social aid since you aren't the right type of profile.
How do you really?
Side note: the Apple store is the worst retail experience I've had, every single time. The entire process seems to be designed for clueless geriatric retirees who have plenty of time and no understanding of technology to be slowly accosted and removed of their money by the exact opposite of a genius.
Thanks for catching that!

Technically "Airbus hasn't sold an A320 in three years." isn't right about the A319 as there have been orders the last three years, agreed no one wants it though.

Most A319neo orders look to be modified to be A320neo orders, so customers moving to a larger jet - perhaps it's cheaper than cancelling and buying Bombardier/Embraer. Or there is no demand for small planes in the ~120 passengers class.
Not sure if new best friend or mortal enemy
My mistake, I phrased my question incorrectly. Why not opencv with a halide backend. The tensorflow whitepaper compares the TF ir to the halide ir. In fact, the work in tensorflow core is around XLA https://www.tensorflow.org/performance/xla/ (which brings compatibility across various architecture)

It seems that this is more an attempt at locking the tensors to target custom metal, so that it can't be copied and made to work on other phones.

For examples, the Google Camera NX version is a port of the HDR+ feature on compatible phones.. Even the cheap Xiaomi. They actually give results comparable to Nexus.

However, by locking the model to a very custom image processor (and custom IR) , this can't be ported. This looks to me as a version of walled garden more than a performance win.

I'll say that Ishmael is something that is a bit different every time I read it. No, obviously the words are the same every time. But, each time, I take something different away.

I think that only the first time did I take away what the author intended. It's not the book that is what I always take away, but what I think about while reading the book. It's not just what it says, but what it doesn't say.

I don't even totally agree with the various conclusions and note some logical flaws. But, it inspires me to think, to be introspective, and to look at things a little differently than I had before.

I can't really review the book anymore. I probably could have reviewed it when I first read it. I might have been able to review it after each reading, but they'd have been different reviews every time.

Then again, I suppose this is a bit of a review...
Latest News, Free Ionicframework Based Application (Android)
For the past few months, I've been really busy with my non-work-related Project called Latest News. What started as a newsapi.org feeds-only application, quickly turned into another direction as some people suggested wanting custom feeds. So after several commits, this is now a future-(almost)-complete RSS application.

It offers
- adding/reading feeds (pre-defined or custom added using direct url to webpage, where it scan for xml links or xml link directly)
- fetching a complete news content from an article site, removing everything else but text and images
- bookmarking articles,
- but wait, that's not all! :)
- it allows you to log-in (if you wish of course) and synchronize the content with the firebase db.
- ...and lastly, it offers toggling sources as favorite and semi-automatically, grabbing the content for them for offline reading.

The project page can be found as a thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-news-t3636706

Its never a good idea to diagnose your own problem. There was a Quora answer thread on how a cardiologist tried to diagnose his own problem when he had an heart attack, panicked and got it wrong. All the while when his students were reminding him of his own advice, to calm down and let the other doctors do their job.
Not my comment.
That seems rather unacceptable given the price of these computers and the history of perfectly fine keyboard designs.
The point is they recovered the shadow detail of people’s faces which would otherwise be lost.
I have a 15” 2016 model and I’m close to throwing it out of my office window.

My b and n keys acted up randomly. B would hit twice on each press and n would miss keystrokes sometimes. Cleaned it with air, massaged the keys, removed caps and cleaned etc. Other keys started following. Apple here in Turkey does not have the same support you guys in US seem to enjoy.

They gave me a 15 day repair window, no offer of replacements etc. I simply can’t live without it for 15 days so I’m still using this piece of shit broken laptop.

I’d buy a replacement and send this one to repair only to sell it but then I’d still need to buy a MBP because of macOS.

One of these days I’m gonna pull thr plug and go all linux.

What's the point in recovering something just to waste it again?
I think the main point is that you could just map those to function keys.

I think I've only seen one main use that works well with the bar, and that's scrubbing through video or audio.

This is possible in Go right now. Use "if thing, err := blah(); err != nil { ... }".

This is common for things like map access. See an example here https://play.golang.org/p/P3k5tgFLd2

I'm not sure there is one, unless one wants something that resembles authoritarianism in the name of preserving liberties. That there creates a mental knot I've not yet unraveled.

It's hardly democratic to prevent people from responding like people and fear is a powerful motivator. So, buggered if I have the answers...
The solution seems clear to me: you don't need to stop using laptops, you need to switch to another brand. There are plenty of laptops (or notebooks or whatever you prefer to call the things) with keyboards which work by manufacturers who put function over form instead of the other way around. The only snag you might hit is if you're stuck - emotionally or otherwise - to a given operating system but even that is solvable, albeit slightly hackish.

The essence of the thing is that Apple only looks at its bottom line so that bottom line is the only way you have to influence their behaviour. Don't like what they sell? Don't buy it, get something else.
No right now in the top left corner of my touchbar is an (X) key, the esc key is to the right of it.

The enterprisiest announcement I've read in a long time. And I work at a big corp. Wouldn't be surprised if many people who read this actually don't even understand that it basically says "hi guys, we got bought."

It's also hard to figure out what WePay has actually been doing. Great enterprise speak again.

So, that's what the banking world looks like? Even more enterprisy than the Enterprise despite being a start-up?
Not a chance -- there's not enough to be measured.
Have you tried spoofing the envelope address or reply to address, but have the header address as one you control?
Same on macOS, and even then you just get a dialog box asking if you want to shut down. Hold it down for 5-10 seconds and you initiate a force shutdown.
Instead of all the 'we replaced x with y', I'd like to for once read something along the lines of 'we started using x and y side by side, embracing the benefits of each'

I use both Python and Go regularly and the use cases rarely overlap. They are both fantastic languages and once you realise what you want to use each one for, you'll be one happy developer. (Applies to many other combinations of languages.)

The real problem is that they were highly vulnerable to piracy ;)
Curious, we switched from Sendgrid for that same reason. We were on the free plan, though.
From your quote: "..and then look for the required reserves later."

Banks are required to have certain reserves. It's true that they can already lend money while they are still looking for the required money to refill their reserve. But they will have to fill up their reserve at some point, and for that they need money, otherwise they will have to stop lending.

So it is not a fallacy that banks are lending deposits and it's not so strange that this is in the textbooks.
Maybe you can contact me and tell me what the project is about, I might be interested. Check my bio for email.
Yeah, I read about that later. I was actually later than that site but didn't know about a movement or anything.

I got the idea from having found a book in my youth. I wasn't sure if the book had been left or lost, but it was a good book and the finding of the book led me to enjoying science fiction.

I figured I'd try to make it more meaningful than that and left books that had influenced me. However, I got only one reply. I should do it again but make them gift certificates for the local bookstore. Then they can read what they want.

Because mature companies in competitive markets live or die by operational cost effectiveness.

Growth-phase companies or one with moats live or die by other means; if they are around long enough and are targeting a valuable enough market, they'll eventually probably be a mature firm in a competitive market, but a good way not to get there is to focus on the needs that such a firm would have rather than the needs the firm they actually are now actually has.
CAM02-LCD, CAM02-SCD, and CAM02-UCS colourspaces by Luo, Cui and Li (2006) and based on CIECAM02 colour appearance model should perform better than the proposed colourspace based on CIELuv because CIECAM02 accounts for viewing conditions. IPT colourspace by Fairchild is also an excellent colourspace when hue uniformity is required. The wikipedia page on CAMs have some decent information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_appearance_model

Not if you also allow other countries for looking out for their own best interests.

And that is a big problem (among a boatload of others) with the current American administration. It is not America First but America only. That with no consideration for their "allies" or applying a different set of standards to others...
It's true that the lending amount of a bank is heavily constrained by regulatory requirements. But that doesn't mean that banks are not lending your deposited money to someone else.

Consider two banks in the same country, so having to comply with the same reserve requirements. The reserve requirements are defined as a percentage of the amount on the banks's deposit account at the central bank. So the bank which can transfer an extra deposit to this acount is the one which is able to lend more money.

I'm on Windows, so there's that.

I constantly (multiple times a day) use F1 (help, least used), F3 (search again, next match), F4 (both for the famous close window shortcut and to get to the explorer address bar), F5 (reload in browser, run in other apps), F9 (toggle breakpoint in VS), F10 (step over in VS), F11 (step into in VS).

Occasionally F8, F12.

Couldn't live without those, I guess, and I can find all of those blindly.

Outputs this, replacing the variable names with values

I don't say that student loans aren't getting refunded, I am saying that you need to take a loan to study. That's the problem.
you should read patio11's recent post on dealing with this kind of thing. He's talking specifically about dealing with credit agencies, but the same paper trails are likely to be the standard way of dealing with any legal hassles. Also my understanding is that the burden of proof is on the creditor/collector to prove you owe something, so having a paper trail showing how you dealt with things in a timely manner is going to make you look better and avoids the he said she said problem.

We're talking past each other. I don't think anyone is making the claim that prisoners should be Georgetown law professors. The point here is that the story shows prisoners have a lot more potential than we give them credit for. If we considered the potential for redemption instead of fixating on why the person is wasted we could make the world better for everyone. The bias I am alluding to is the assumption that prisoners cannot be redeemed.

The reality is that our criminal justice system does not do a good job of rehabilitating people because it is focused on punishment.

The P-Tr extinction event is acknowledged as being the most severe of all. One of the causes is the sudden release of methane present in seabeds... which is a self-reinforcing phenomenon: as temperature raises, methane release accelerates, reinforcing the temperature raise which reinforces the methane release and so on... That could realistically happen again within our lifetime.
however if we invent time travel, and go back into the year 2000 we wouldn't be able to store any event data. furthermore, to get back, if that data field was used to store event data and the coordinates to get back to the current location of earth, could send you to a divide by zero coordinate and you wouldn't be able to get back. The solution is to just ban time travel to the year 2000 until a patch comes out

Humans likely hunted several species to death after reaching North America, including:

- North American horses (several species)

- North American camels

- Giant Bison

- Tapirs (several North American species)

- Llama's (several North American species)

- Stag Moose

- Gomphotheres (several species, similar to elephants)

Several other species of North American megafauna, such as North American lions and giant beavers likely went extinct due to human activities even though there's no evidence they were hunted directly. e.g. The extinction of most of their prey likely did the lions in.

It's actually quite shocking what humans with rocks, sticks, and empty bellies were able to do. There can be little doubt that the domestication of animals for food has spared countless other species from a similar fate over the last ten thousand years.
