That seems to depend on the task. The highest end CPU available, even the 15", is the i7-8650U which is a 1.9Ghz @ 15W part. This is also how they pull off 17hr battery life, they are putting an ultrabook processor in a 15" laptop. Current 15" MBP can be had with a i7-7920HQ, 3.1Ghz @ 45W which I would expect to be quite a bit faster for multi-core workloads.
Laptop manufacturers messed up by not behaving like cell phone manufacturers. without planned obsolescence and scheduled component failures, there just isn't the same demand for iterative improvements.

I can't stand when companies say the latest version of a product is "the most powerful one ever". Why would that ever not be the case?
Yes, I get that.

It's still confusing. And programming languages exist to first and foremost aid programmers, not to adhere to some abstract expression of mathematical perfection.

At the time Haskell hit the scene, the term Interface was free and could've been taken. But that's just one thought, I'm not a language designer...
Looks not too bad, but I'm kinda interested in a Ryzen based laptop. And for that .. there's basically nothing yet (a Lenovo that is based on ~outdated~ tech just came out, a HP is announced and seems limited in its RAM options/potentially limited to single-channel and crippling the APU and a monster of a gaming laptop with desktop CPUs that is basically not usable if you ever want to carry it or use it without a power supply).

I like the design, but the price is far too high - for me - and I'm neither a fan of Intel nor NVidia.
I just enabled it on my account, and I can still log into GitLab and other OAuth accounts. I presume it just means they can't access Gmail, Drive, or the other listed products.

- irc(fine I will take your slack and use the irc-bridge pfftt)
I think it depends on thinking style and mental models. Personally I have "diagram blindness"; most diagrams look like visual noise. Usually I get better (fast, reliable, maintainable) results by just coding on the fly and then relentlessly refactoring as the optimal design gradually reveals itself.
I don't think the creators of Haskell were concerned even slightly with trying to fit in with trends in imperative languages. They were doing their own thing (or at least, trying to make a research-friendly version of David Turner's commercial language Miranda).

People projecting their own value of multi-culturalism onto historical artifacts and cultures.
Multiculturalism and tolerance are valuable, wonderful additions to our world, but we shouldn't desperately try to find evidence of it where it isn't. It's desperate and embarrassing, and taints the institutions doing it as simply being publicity seekers first, and scientists second.
I'm not sure where you get the idea that it is clearly established. It most certainly is not. It sounds to me like you are confusing rights with moral obligations in respect to animals. It is a mistake to think that an absence of rights is an absence of moral duties, not to, but in respect to animals.

So it is. Yet, even adjusting for population size, the US police kills 40 to 100 times the number of people killed by the German police.

Quite the opposite. The Church (mostly monasteries) in Northern Europe was the main source of progress in science and the progress was rapid. Mostly applied science though like agriculture, melioration, construction, metal forging, waterwheeel etc.

This book explains quite well how Western European civilization during Dark Ages was sucking all kinds of inventions and improving them slowly in order to adapt itself in hostile conditions of Northern Europe.

It would, but your odds of not shooting yourself are 1 in 6, assuming a standard 6 chambered cylinder. Your odds of surviving would be very slightly higher (depending on where you choose to shoot yourself) because, of course, a gunshot wound might not be fatal.

Like I say, your chances of surviving a wingsuit accident (basically impacting the ground, a cliff, a tree, whatever) are considerably worse than this.

It's funny, I did the same math and concluded there's no way they profited enough from this scheme to cover the cost of noncompliance. Even if they took $3.6M in revenue, they had to pay salaries, expensive rent, and overhead for 5 years. That's barely scraping by. Hopefully they're sitting on a pile of investor money they can use to pay this settlement.

I've worked with two folks from (Bay Area) bootcamps. Those two were fine junior developers; compare with someone just out of school. One was actually quite a bit better than someone just out of school, because he was a bit older and had real-world experience that filled in a lot of blanks.

Not saying that's normal. But my very limited experience with bootcampers has been positive.

Yes, they were hired for the same reason bootcamps exist: demand.
From the wikipedia article:

"Borland used the name Object Pascal for the programming language in the first versions of Delphi, but later renamed it to the Delphi programming language. However, compilers that claim to be compatible with Object Pascal are often trying to be compatible with Delphi source code.[citation needed] Because Delphi is trademarked, compatible compilers continued using the name Object Pascal"

You're still right that Object Pascal can encompass more than just Delphi.

I bought a SB last year and returned it after a couple of days since it was full of problems with the GPU and pen[1].

The machine was beautiful and both the keyboard and trackpad felt amazing, but even if my unit was defective the pen and tablet experience were poor compared to something like an iPad Pro.

Also the display was really sharp in terms of resolution but suffered from an insane amount of ghosting while scrolling[2].

I think what you don't understand in my post is that I am saying POs should grasp those things.

I just don't see the reasoning behind hiring someone who is non-technical for such a position.

And the answer to "why should they" is precisely because they can then understand the development side better and these types of problems are avoided. It allows them to make more informed decisions. Basically, why should they not?

Those machines are using regular DDR memory, rather than the low-power LPDDR3 memory that the Surface Book and MBP use. The ZBook Studio G3, for example, gets just over half the battery life of the MBP, while weighing 15% more: https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/hp-zbook-studio-g3.

So many negative comments just because it's Microsoft. If you don't like the OS, obviously this machine is not for you.

The "explain like I'm 5" version, partly to answer you, and partly as a clarifying exercise for myself.

In a market, you trade dollars for other valuable things.

In a stock market, you trade dollars for stocks.

Why is a stock valuable?

It represents a small piece of a company. If you bought up all the pieces of a company, you would own the entire company. But most people can't buy an entire company, so they buy small pieces of a company instead.

Why would you want to trade dollars for a small piece of a company?

A few reasons:

1. Because a company owns valuable assets, and if you own part of a company, then you own a part of those valuable assets.

2. Because a company earns money, and if you own part of a company, then you get some of that money. (Either directly as a dividend, or indirectly as more your shares gain in value.) Think about it: if you own part of a company, then for some small fraction of the day, every single person in that company is working for YOU. YOU get the fruits of their labors for that fraction of the day. If you do this with enough companies, then you can quit your job.

3. Because a company makes decisions, and if you own part of the company, then you get to vote on how those decisions are made.

4. Because dollars become less valuable over time, by about 2% per year, assuming that the economy is operating as planned. (Inflation.)

Given that the only battery life number they quote is for video playback (with no specs about the video format, bitrate, resolution, full-screen state, etc), I suspect that number just happens to be extra high when you choose the optimal video in the optimal format and play it full screen (so the OS can stop spending cycles on UI rendering). Note that Apple specifies 10 hours of "iTunes Movie playback" for the 15-inch Macbook Pro. It's probably possible to improve on that with some other format. Apple also gives a quote for "wireless web" usage (the same 10 hours). The 15-inch Surface Book 2 is also significantly thicker and about 5% heavier than a 15-inch Macbook Pro. So I'm sure more battery plays a role as well.
We have a few folks from bootcamps. For our team, it gives us options into a pool of talent with other non-coding skills and backgrounds. For example, one of our developers from a bootcamp was an accountant, and another was a financial analyst. Both are useful skills for a fin-tech company [eShares].

>Remember that "cancer" is just normal cells that grow out of control. So if your normal cells are functioning normally then cancer cells will also function normally.

But that only holds if growing out of control has no impact on normal function. If, say, cancer cells reproduced faster than their own mitochondria, then those cancer cells would function differently from normal cells in a particular sense: they could metabolize sugars into pyruvate but not all the way to CO2 + H2O. And that in turn could have other consequences.

It was more than just the popularity of Unix.

A while back, I ended up following a link on HN and reading a bunch of old computer magazines. I came across an article by Peter Norton (in PC Magazine) from around 1986 or 87. In it, he discussed why C was rapidly displacing Pascal among DOS programmers.

Not that Unix didn't have an effect, but as DOS and then windows exploded in popularity in the 80s, C displacing Pascal there played a big role in Pascal's overall decline vs C.

edit: I think this is the article I'm thinking of:

Stock markets exist to allow multiple people to invest in a company which allows for spreading risk for the venture. The price of the shares reflects the underlying view of the price of the risk in buying a stake in the company, in addition to the outright value of the firm / venture.

Clear, transparent information about these prices and the ability to buy and sell this risk reduces overall costs to the economy for operating these ventures, greatly increases overall liquidity in the market, and overall greatly lowers overall costs and provides much more ready access to capital for ventures.

ICO can mean any number of things, but typically refer to a token that is tied to something that isn't its own currency. I'm assuming the Filecoin is redeemable for data storage on their network, but I'm not super familiar with that technology specifically. To give some other examples...

Tether is a token tied to fiat currency

NEO Gas is used for compute time in their smart contracts. NEO also has a currency that is used to mine gas. It can be a little confusing, but one of them is a token and one is a coin. This is different than Ethereum, where the currency is also the token used to pay for compute time.

I can dig deeper and give examples of how some of the other tokens work, but unfortunately I'm not super familiar with the other tokens in the top 5.

And, yes, ICOs can be tied to some number of shares in a company. In these cases, the token is redeemable for a share of the company.
I'm a 24 year old millennial, and my views are considerably different from my parents.

I don't believe democracy is essential, because in my opinion, I live in an example of what happens when democracy goes awry and gets hijacked by the rich(USA). I personally don't feel that certain offensive speech should be outlawed, but I've stayed away from facebook, which seems to be the site creating this feel-good echo chamber for everyone.

I think a massive amount of our cultural problems stem less from public school and more from two things: the internet and economics. Information overload stresses everyone out because we didn't evolve to thrive in such an environment, which triggers an us-vs-them mentality. Then social media sites allow for everyone to form their own echo chamber, meaning the us-vs-them mentality is amplified and their beliefs are never questioned. Combine this with a two-party political system that amplifies identity politics and fails to provide an increasing quality of life for young people, and you get an entire generation stressed out of their mind, jaded, and not hopeful that their futures will be better. Plus for most of us in the country, lower level good jobs have all been automated, shipped overseas, or concentrated to a handful of urban areas. I've nearly got a Bachelor's degree in IT, tons of certifications, and years of experience, yet I still can't find a job because I don't live in a tech hub of the country. And I'm lucky because I'm smart. Imagine what it's like for the 50% of millennials who weren't genetically blessed and have an IQ less than 100.

In such a democratic environment, why would democracy matter? Why would free speech matter when they see no potential for growth in life?

Except your “common good” isn’t common. It benefits drivers by mere seconds in exchange for a mortal risk to pedestrians.

Like it or not, but the law is written as is for a reason: pedestrians are the lowest common denominator of society. Everybody is a pedestrian some of the time.
