That's fine for workloads which don't need more than 8gb of ram simultaneously. I've had workflows using scanning software (poorly optimized, but industry standard scanning software) that will gladly use more than 16 gigs of ram if available. Sometimes you just need a bigger bucket.

Therein lies the problem: the texture of GF breads at room temp. No matter the incantations, or the application of chemical ingredients, no one has conquered the problem of dry, crumbly GF bread. The only solution seems to be the application of heat, whether it be by oven or microwave.

Of course, asking your sandwich vendor to 'wave your sandwich for 45 seconds is to be met with a blank stare.

Oh, well.
It is sad to hear your story, and I hope you have great luck in finding a good solution that does not empty your wallet.

I really wish that the 5 year "reklamasjon" (roughly translated to claims) period we have in Norway for things that are supposed to last more than two years, caught on globally. It can sort of be explained as a warranty mandated by law, which means we can usually ignore the usual warranties from the vendor unless they give better terms or last longer than 5 years. I have had computer equipment that broke down after four and a half years, that I got either replaced or repaired for free because we have these laws.

I think one of the largest benefits of having such a system world wide, would be less waste. Producers would have to make more durable products that lasted longer, not laptops, cellphones etc. that are basically treated as consumables with only a few years of life expectancy.
2017 Agile development cheat sheet
It's funny to see this in light of Marco's previous assertions:

> Apple will never release an "iPad," because mobile video isn't a thing, and screen fingerprints are inevitable (2006): http://articles.marco.org/207

> The iPhone is a misstep because the onscreen keyboard makes driving unsafe (seriously), and it is over-purposed compared to a minimalist candybar phone that Apple should have released (2007): http://articles.marco.org/226

Marco seems like a blowhard who's taken Apple puritanism too far, such that every change they release is an affront to the Apple products he was accustomed to in his late 20s. In 20 years, he and everyone else will not hearken for the 2015 MacBook Pro, and everything will use wireless charging. Apple has usually been ahead of the curve, Marco is attached to some natural order of computing that does not exist.
Similar experience here, with a bike in the $500 range. I get long term daily use use out of bikes thrown together from parts that are 30+ years old. I take care of basic periodic maintenance, and that's about it. When I upgrade a part with another used part that I get for free, it's typically for aesthetics rather than necessity.

There's a huge range of opinions about what constitutes an acceptable level of quality in a bike. Also, experiences with maintenance will vary due to local conditions. Road salt isn't particularly friendly to bikes, for instance.
The cables are known to break too easily, but I'd rather want them to solve that by having proper strain relief on the cable than remove the flaps on the charger.
wow that sounds exciting. no experience or reliable skills -- just a lot of surface knowledge about ebikes and power electronics. do you guys have a website or something?
> MBP rendered unusable by faulty X key. Apple wanted $400, he paid, then the G key went out. They wanted another $400.

Abstract data types guarantee that nobody besides the implementor can violate the contract. They compartmentalize what you have to verify.

Without abstraction enforcement mechanisms, an abstraction you have correctly implemented can still misbehave, because someone else has tampered with its internal representation.

Re: #1 Agreed, my MacBook 12” keyboard is my favorite so far. My wife’s, however, feels like crap. Same year, only difference is color.
I have a 2016 MacBook Pro, and I really dislike it. Part of that is the dongles, and the dongles plugged into the dongles.

I also dislike the keyboard, but I rarely use it as an actual laptop so it's fine I guess
Had a similar experience. VB class in HS was my first programming experience, but me and another guy finished the end of course project in the first month. It was a playable tic-tac-toe game. Instructor said if we made the computer actually play a side, we'd get 100s for the class. Took me a day or two to write an algorithm for it combining identical game states, the other guy spent a few days making an absurd mess of nested if statements to cover every possibility.
Spent the rest of the year alternating between making more games (a clone of Space Invaders and then the beginnings of a clone of Legend of Zelda) and playing an NES emulator, which the instructor overlooked. Probably wouldn't have approved if she'd noticed we had it saved locally in the school machine and the emulator was called NESticle, complete with an icon depicting a hairy sack...
> Seems like you’re talking out of both sides of your mouth too... this is from your website: “Constantly on Top 100 Grossing Lifestyle apps list in US Mac App Store since 2011”

It takes very few copies per month to reach MAS top lists, please google it if you don't know that, especially in less crowded 'lifestyle' category. I never said in the entire app store, I said in lifestyle category. So both claims are true but you are too blinded with rushing to prove 'other guy being wrong'. Being both constantly on top grossing lifestyle list and making almost no money is topic on its own, but the fact doesn't make any of those two claims less true.

Great majority of the Subliminal user base was reached trough https://stacksocial.com/sales/the-mac-freebie-bundle-4-0 several years ago. As you can see it was free bundle. StackSocial did 'pay' for all the free copies, it was mutual promotional move, with earnings of exactly whooping 1.3 cents per copy. Even paying customers never had to pay for any update, so far it was always one-time payment (if not free), since 2011. When you mention money as motivational factor it looks really funny on this side.

> hogwash, snake oil, both sides of your mouth, I don't believe a single word you say, profit off gullibility...

That's pretty strong wording to cover ignorance. You did first choose what to believe in, then put an effort to make it sound true?

I am now really curious to hear (at least short or yes/no) answers to the part you skipped:

"Out of curiosity, you _are_ aware that all major players use subliminal messages in their commercials? Or not? If you know about that, why would they use them that way if there is no effect? If you don't know about that why we discuss the topic then?"
Yeah I enjoy butterfly switches so much that I'd be genuinely upset if Apple gave in and changed back.

Here's an article I just found about him... from 1987.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1987/02/23/a...

Where it says he's been the most hated man in the Air Force for two decades. So, this guy was/has basically been telling us how things are since the late 60's. And we still haven't learned a thing / integrated this into our public common sense / knowledge. (Like how >90% of people know not to mess with the inside of electronics without experience, or how most people think the government/banks/big-oil/etc is corrupt. That's community knowledge.)

* Keys break. A lot. Probably 1/4th of my friends with this machine have broken keys. Never happened on the old MBPs. (As I type this I'm using a mechanical Razer keyboard plugged into a dongle plugged into a 2016 MBP with a broken G key.)

* Trackpad is too big. What was the point, honestly? Nobody said, "My use case is I want a trackpad that's impossible not to bump when I type."

* MagSafe was great, bring it back. Every Apple product from now until the end of time should use a MagSafe power connector.

* TouchBar sucks. End of story. I miss the ESC key. I've literally never been like, "Oh gosh, I'm glad I have a TouchBar to change the volume... what a great feature!" It' just inflates production cost without adding value.

* Machines lack power... CPU and RAM. Old MBPs felt like they were amazing machines that would stand up over time. 16 GB RAM has been the cap for how many years now? Like a decade? Yeah...

* USB-C... other than dongles, I don't know a single accessory that uses a USB-C. Everything is Thunderbolt or USB-3. So... yeah let's have at least one USB-3 plug. I've got a USB and HDMI adapter that I use every day. Anyway nothing is built using a USB-C... I get pushing for new tech, but it seems more just like a way to add $250 in dongle sales to every new laptop sold.

* They are more expensive than the old ones. =(

* Office, Steam, other things... still don't run as well on Mac as they do on PC. If Apple isn't for Gamers, it has to be for people who do work? Or... look, who are the "Pro" lines for these days?

I think they should show some courage and make a Pro quality laptop again - one that doesn’t require dongles. Make it thicker, maybe even make it black. Developers don’t want the thinnest, we want the best.

It’s probably never gonna happen because they are a mobile device company now and that is where the money is.
I think you've misjudged the reason for the downvotes. (I'm not one of them)

Incompleteness and wrongness are properties of every social and economic theory, and you seem to be attacking some pretty well established theory on the grounds that it is incomplete and/or wrong. No theory involving humans can be simultaneously complete, consistent, and interesting. The more important question is how bad are the consequences of letting a given theory guide policy, and while the status quo may be far from ideal, it is far from the worst humans have done.

Also, it's pretty bold to label your own comment insightful.
The science to date has linked the quakes to deep salt water disposal wells lubricating faults. These wells are taking flowback and produced water from oil wells once they are put on production. The earthquake phenomenon is not related to circulating "mud" during drilling.
Well its simple. I, personally went to two public schools, both of which were in the private school sector.

No, it isn't obvious. In the UK the prefix public and private are both synonymous for "fee paying" for schools.

I went to a prep. school (9 to 13) and a public school (13+) after that. Both of which would be described as private schools.
Until this past summer I was doing all of my (design heavy) workload on a 2013 15-inch retina MBP, without any problems. I would still be using it, except that the display died on me and it made more sense to buy a new laptop than replace it. I was irritated at the time, because I'd wanted to wait another year in the hopes that they eliminated the touch-bar from the top-end lineup, but I've been really happy with the Kaby Lake MBP overall. It's quieter (except for the keystrokes), cooler, has a great display, etc. The things that bother me most about it are not the USB-C only thing, but the absence of a traditional power/eject keyboard button, and the relatively high occurrence of phantom keystrokes that result from brushing the touchbar with stray fingers. Otherwise it's a wonderful machine and I'm very pleased with it.

Presumably the point is that most functional programmers wouldn't have bothered giving dedicated names to, say, “strategies” or “factories”, more or less the same way nobody would bother calling “(a + b) / 2” the “average pattern”.

I’m only part way through this so far, but it seems like you think in terms of absolutes -> either the world is entirely random, or it is entirely causal. Why can it not be a mix of both, of coincidence and causal relationships, some of which are intentionally planned.
Exactly what I was thinking reading this article.

Perhaps Oumuamua is a piece of evidence that fits this theory, but, is it really the first one? If it is the first one, it hardly proves the theory. At this point (from what I can see) we have a sample size of 1 (Oumuamua). Now, we also haven't been watching for very long (10 years or so where we could track this sized object) and aren't watching too much of the sky, but, this still doesn't prove anything.
The IOUs are backed by US treasuries, the safest, most reliable investment product in the world. Of course a company can’t get away with that, it has no ability to tax a populace, which guarantees the revenue stream.

Now of course there’s the argument that the US government borrows too much: totally true. Someone has to jump on the grenade and cut military spending (the greatest discretionary income spend) and raise taxes (they’re at the lowest levels in US history, and must go up), but that’s a bitter pill to swallow.

Ocean is powerful. Before being a surfer and following storm forecasts to chase good swells, I had no idea how much energy a storm on the open ocean could generate.

For who is interested on sailing, I recommend all the books written by Amyr Klink. He describes in a beautiful and poetic way his journeys across the seven seas. It’s very interesting when he describes the day he faced a 4 hundred meters iceberg (this is just 10% of it’s real size) that traveled oposite to the wind, on his direction. The iceberg follows the sea currents, it does’t care about the wind direction.
As someone who currently has those flaps, I look forward to no longer having them when I get a new MBP. I never use them anyway, and wouldn't want to (it'd be bad for the cables to wrap them so tightly).
I'm not sure if the idea appeals to me or not: I was more saying "I've heard Elon and co talking about this and just assumed it was like they'd seen The Matrix again on Netflix...". But reading this article (late, I guess..) the penny dropped when I saw ideas like the boundary conditions are the maximum information density of particles, and the upper bound to information celerity. Starts to sound like the kind of limitations you'd have if you built a huuuugge simulator.
I'm just responding to the "jerks" issue.
>Eich did not have his rights impinged on. He chose to resign--he chose that--because the community far beyond Mozilla didn't approve of his donations and he saw that he'd lost a lot of people's trust in him. His actions had consequences, which he recognized and owned.

Yes, this is a key point people forget. No one fired Eich. However, a large chunk of Mozilla's open source contributors (along with a decent chunk of their paid employees) were ready to resign.

Eich may not have had good politics, but he legitimately cared about the organization and was not going to let it implode on his account.

Funny how so-called-libertarians love at will employment until it's used to pressure a bigot to resign.
I've got a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) with 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 + 16GB + 1TB SSD. It was an upgrade from an earlier 2011 model which started displaying power issues, overheating and quite literally falling apart. It's fine power wise.

The problems are:

(1) Screen came with a bad pixel which Apple was like "oh just leave it with us 1-2 weeks and we can swap that out for you" ... totally unreasonable after dropping USD$5K, because I need my system daily.

(2) Screen has an imprint of the edge of the keys on it because it is designed to be too thin/bendy, and when in a full bag receives some squash pressure.

(3) Touching the lower right part of the trackpad began to reset the computer, sometimes, a couple of years ago. When it happens it happens over and over. Apple wanted $new-computer-money to fix it. I now use a Wacom tablet and stylus in most cases.

(4) Some crap driver I installed (Huawei mobile data dongle for India) broke my OS in some fundamental way that was impossible to fix, and I had to re-install everything which was a nightmare waste of a weekend.

To be fair I do use it daily and it is sort of surviving, but the cost is far too high. Of course "I am never buying another Mac!" ... except that I have been looking at alternatives, and none of them really appeal, except in the desktop range, which is a big leap backward in mobility. Perhaps I will just buy a cheap PC laptop with Linux or a dumb terminal at work to log in to a desktop at my house and be done with it.

I have a retina late 2013, and I just sent it in for a battery replacement. They swapped my drive out to a new CPU, and put my old screen on the new CPU's body. I think the cost was like 200$, and took 2 days (delivered to my door).

When your machine gets battery problems, take it in ASAP, and get it repaired. I probably got 3-4 more years of life out of this machine with that repair.

IMHO the popularity of packaged sandwiches in the UK is largely driven by three factors:

(1) English people have famously bad taste when it comes to food, and most of them are truly willing to eat crap.

(2) Many English people are cash or time poor, and this stuff is everywhere for $cheap.

(3) Grab-and-go style sandwiches in boxes are made using industrial processes in which high initial investment results in small margins per sale which are often maximized at the expense of taste, eg. waterjet cutting, commercial standardized ingredients (eg. heavily processed industrial cheeses and meat slices), etc. As purely commercial operations, they don't care about quality until it limits sales.
2016 MacBook Pro works like a charm for me. It's genuinely more mobile, smaller, lighter. Low-travel keys are faster for typing for me and don't ever mark the screen like some older models. Touch Bar is sometime more useful when using full screen mode with everything else hidden.

If you're accustomed to trackpad scrolling on the mac using a native editor (TextMate) you are spoiled for life. Everything else feels wrong.
Glad to hear you are happy with your purchase!

What I have noticed with the MacBook Pro 2016 and beyond is that they are way more polarising than previous generations. Sure, there were issues with the older Retina models, but nothing nearly as controversial as the keyboard, touch bar and ports on the latest models. I can understand that not everyone liked the old keyboard either, but I can't recall large numbers of people hating it to such degree as to call it a show stopper for purchasing a new portable Mac.
Whether by chance or by design, the fact that it has the rough shape of a boat or rocket weakly suggests that it passed through a thicker medium than empty space. But it came through alone; collisions would have fragmented it.
It comes with a lightning to USB-A cable.
It’s just super annoying that Apple labels these laptops as “pro” when it seems their focus is thinness/lightness. I don’t begrudge this on the consumer models, but the new MBP’s are so philosophically different from my older machine (expandable, lots of ports, etc.)
Insufficient population density, small market, high average distance to market, low "eat out" frequency (but increasing), short commercial hours, arguably higher freshness / quality standards.
Redesigning the charger? Might as well do it properly. Have the thin cable plug in to an L projection, so it naturally wraps right around the brick body. Put an L projection on the other side, rotationally symmetric, for the wall cable plug. Now they both wrap with large radius curves, and can be replaced independently of the charger itself.

You'd think that a company that theoretically charges higher prices for superior design would do something like that.
Better to make this a young person move because old people can't do stoop work as long.

Yeah I could see it if we had some help. I'd personally rather get it integrated with an infra-as-code system first.

I've been meaning to write a salt-stack module (using our other project conffs as the driver) for some time. It'd be neat to be able to manage a cluster with a proxy in front (like kamailio) and deploy super quickly to the cloud.

I know there's been some talk to try the same with kubernetes as well - just need the time / manpower.
