FWIW, that is how git is organized: low-level "plumbing" commands for the content-addressable file system, and the high-level "porcelin" commands for a VCS. Moreover, most git commands have human and machine readable variants, to facilitate abstraction.
I'm not so sure the reviews would have been _quite_ so positive if they hadn't also announced they're releasing a 'modular' traditional Mac Pro.

I think the knowledge that a new 'modular' Mac Pro is coming gives a different context to this machine. I think people are framing this on the idea that: if you want a quiet, good looking machine with a great screen and the other 'benefits' of an all in one (and don't mind the trade offs), then it's good to have this option. If the trade offs don't work for you, then wait for the more traditional Mac Pro.

If it had been released without any mention of another option coming for pro users, then it would have been framed as "if you need workstation grade hardware running mac os, then your only choice is now an expensive, non-upgradeable all-in-one which has traded off performance for quietness and for other thermal constraints".
Also, cheap parts and good youtube tutorials are more readily available for mac if you want to DIY.
Yes, but it means it will never be an email replacement.

The people without smartphones that I work with can use email.

I can get to my email anywhere, everywhere, whether I have a phone or not.

Of course that may be considered an anti-feature from the point of view of security, but it explains why IM apps can not replace email.
Yeah, but this came out at the last WWDC, I think - https://developer.apple.com/development-kit/external-graphic...

I believe Nvidia drivers are already in beta, this or any other eGPU enclosure should be able to remove that sticking point.

There is a slight performance penalty because fo the TB3 bus conversion bus, but it's only applicable for real time work like gaming - pro work should be able to use Nvidia cards just fine.
Or the somewhat cheaper, if a bit funny-looking, LG Ultrafine.
You're enabling your wife's depression. Stay married. Just stop enabling her. Be loving and respectful, but stop helping her. In the short run she'll likely flip out on you. It will take a few months to get results. Don't tell her what you're doing, just do it. Don't be tough with her, don't tell her what to do, just go back to being happy and taking care of yourself.

Exactly - I think by the time they decide to upgrade workstations every component in the stack has advanced enough to warrant a completely new machine.
I used both as daily drivers.

With the prior version, I started out just changing out the normal AA batteries when they died every several months. That felt wasteful, though, so I got rechargeable AA batteries, but swapping them out every month or so was tedious.

Now I just plug it in every few weeks when I leave the office for the weekend. I definitely prefer it.
What exactly does the term "major version update" mean to you if not for a break in backwards compatibility?

Correct and it really depresses me that no media even bothers report that this rule will not affect anyone but Indians for being Indian and good at their job.

(A lot of people claim that H1B are cheap labor but it is worth noting that China, Phillipines, Vietnaam, Pakistan and dozens of other countries have poor people but unable to enter tech the way Indians have. That itself goes to show that whatever reason why American companies want H1B, Indians are damn good at it).
why quibble over the word? you're talking about gender roles, men are supposed to be big and tough and take charge, and womem are supposed to be nurturing and demure and receptive to being taken charge of. it's a model with men in control, patriarchy is a fine word for that. of course if you can't hack your assigned gender role you'll catch shit from those that can. those that can hack their gender role may be men or women; those that can't may be men or women-- this is your observation. but how do you go from that to patriarchy is a misnomer?
but just that's it's a solid option with a great screen at what's actually a reasonable price for the components inside

PC Gamer did a price comparison that tried to match the components as closely as possible and found that the result is barely cheaper than the iMac Pro:

http://www.pcgamer.com/apples-new-imac-pro-costs-5000-but-is...

I am not in this market segment, but if you are doing something like high-end video editing, the iMac Pro is competitively priced and (probably) has a great build quality compared to systems in the competing in this segment.

I hope that they won't forget some other market segments. It would be a great to have a new Mac Mini in the 700-1000 Euro range.
“Coup de foudre” is love at first sight.
The basic idea behind points is not bad, the problem with it is humans and the fact that they are numeric/ called "points". Might as well call them "gold coins", since soon enough people all around will start to believe there's genuine value in having/collecting many "points".

I like to believe that it'd be much more productive if the tasks were T-shirt size. Since that would prevent people from computing "productivity" or "velocity" or whatever - while still allowing you to do rough estimates, if you recorded this for long-enough.
(actually, I think you need some sort of tshirt size for several dimensions - like, "dependencies/ how many people you need to communicate with for this feature"; or "uncertainty - how much is this 'just work'(implementing a known solution) versus 'exploration'/ trying to identify the solution first ")

Good point. Trello and SO are both phenomenal pieces of software that I use all the time and recommend to others. All of this stuff is fits a need and does its job reliably. Well done.
w/r/t the tragedy of the commons... The thing that I'm a little afraid to say out loud is that I don't see how any of this is solved with our current political structures. Sovereign nations? Democracies? At some point -- when the sh#$ really hits the fan -- these structures are going to seem like idealistic but ineffective luxuries. I suppose catastrophe (my sense is there will be no need to engineer it) could spur inspired alignment; or some kind of global consciousness awakening event (we're waiting, Jesus 2.0/Whatever).

The long arch of hope seems pretty hopeless from an individual's perspective at this moment in time, so much so that I actively try (and fail) _not_ to think about this. I can't imagine what folks at, say, the pentagon, are planning out who spend all day obsessing on it. They must have some pretty dark scenarios mapped out.

Simply put, we have grown to the size of our resource container and that container is about to shrink. We're far from ready. The species will likely eek it's way through. Civilization? Not so much.

Which might have been okay, because iirc the complaints weren't really 'we want upgradable pro machines' - they were more 'just build a pro machine'. Other than upgradability of core components, I'm not sure what the Mac Pro can possibly bring to the table now. And it seems like there aren't that many folks who care about upgradability alone.
Great succinct list. It is the same for me, except I have a mandatory "spend time with love ones and close friends" in there, and I don't meditate regularly enough.
The timing of this article is important to note because Youtube has since put in place major revisions to their monetization policies known colloquially as “Adpocalypse” that may impact the strategy.
I understand what you're saying and I generally agree that algorithmic/coding interviews are broken. But you know what? Sometimes you need the fancy stuff.

I once stumbled upon a problem at work that, after some thinking, I realized could be modeled as a graph problem and solved by performing a topological sort. It was a good and elegant solution to the problem. But what if it hadn't landed on my plate, and instead on someone who didn't know a thing about graphs? The problem might not have been solved (which would mean great pain for our customers, since it was on a feature that customers directly interfaced with), or worse, someone else might have turned up with a horribly messy, spaghetti-like solution.

So I think companies should actually hire people who know their CS fundamentals, even if 80% of the time they'll be doing trivial work that someone less qualified could do. What matters though is having people that are ready for the hairy stuff when it comes up.
Well then, what does this imbalance look like to you? I suspect it looks different to me (rhetorical statement I have no idea which side you're on). I too feel like we miss some interesting subtlety by claiming both sides do it equally. But really how can we make any progress socially/politically unless we get over it and both agree it happens on both sides? We're never going to find an objective answer "to who does it worst". Let's just stop doing it...

How using Gmail could be called secure? According to Snowden docs Google is cooperating with N/S/A. So all your data is collected and stored for future analysis when needed. If you consider this to be "secure" then the whole discussion on security is pointless.
Even if you never upgrade the machine during its lifetime, you still have to pay Apple’s notoriously high ram and hard drive upgrade costs.

Example: when I bought a new iMac last year, Apple was charging $1400 for 64GB of ram. That’s insane, so I went with the base and purchased my own. Took five minutes to install and saved around $800 if I recall
That, and there are typically many other good reasons to just replace a machine:

- A new machine is in warranty.

- You don't need to keep track of what machines you have, how many memory slots they have, what DDR version and speed they require, etc. You don't need personnel to do the replacements.

- In large organizations, hardware is only a small cost compared to salary, etc. So, it is typically not a problem to replace machines every 2-3 years, if necessary.

Upgradability is more interesting to individuals and small businesses.

oxidization over the years? May not have been as tarnished looking when built.
It’s not a useful term because it bakes a ton of political ideas into a concept everyone is expected to accept. Mainly that our society is somehow intelligently designed to put men in charge and that it’s not a mix of biology and random happenstance that got us where we are today. It also implies that men actually are in charge. Some men may be but the vast majority are not. If incarceration and university enrollment numbers are examined, it might even look like men as a class are the oppressed not the oppressors.

Is this maintenance costs for traditional corporate use where your user base has a lot of "where's the any key" users, and you may have hundreds of hosts to maintain.

I suspect maintenance costs in a high end company with a handful of high end macs vs high end workstations is quite different note that the production company seems to be using the macs in a peer to peer set up.

And thus doesn't have all the overhead of domain controllers, exchange servers etc a traditional pc deployment.

The New York times had an interesting take on this in [1]. It argues that what we are seeing now is a resurgence of a victorian view of women as fragile beings that need to be sheltered from any possible harmful situation. This is bullshit; women are as capable as a man of saying no and tactfully pointing out when something emotionally difficult is happening.

I think the problem is that we have gone from rightly taking down the Weinsteins, a predator which is why its shocking (normal no's don't work on people like him as he seem to get off on ignoring them), to trying to regulate away the awkward encounters and misinterpretations that is the natural occasional byproduct of the situations that makes life interesting.

In my experience it's the 1:1s with mentors and colleagues that is the most interesting, and a victorian worldview is telling us that we can't do those anymore if the mentor is a man while the mentee is a woman and that will rob women of equal learning opportunities. Because why take the risk if any accusation can't be defended against and results in blacklisting from your industry, even if the mentee says the accusation is bullshit?

If you buy a workstation from HP/Supermicro, then you get something much more powerful for the same price. So, to say, they are very close is not very correct.

The Magic Mouse 2 is one of the worst mice I've ever used, but the charging thing is a non-issue. The battery lasts like a month on one charge. Mine has never gone below 50%.

This would be terrible for me, my battery always dies in the middle of the day, because I do not want to keep track of charging. Luckily, the Magic Trackpad 2 does not have this shortcoming and can be used with a lightning cable attached.

(I absolutely love the Magic Trackpad 2. Not just because it is large, but some applications use haptic feedback. E.g. OmniGraffle uses a subtle vibration so that you feel when two objects are aligned.)
How many mainstream programming languages do you know having equivalent issues as Python 2.x to 3.x? Do you think it is reasonable to rewrite your code base on every programming language "major version update"? One thing is deprecation of features, because of not thinking an API properly back in the day, and another, involving an important rewrite in order to get your code base working.

My point was: I expect Python 4 avoiding the mistakes of Python 3 regarding breaking backwards compatibility. Just that.

Exercise 3-5x/week, and stay active throughout the day (standing desk, frequent walk breaks). High intensity exercise >>>> low intensity in re its effects on my mood (for me! YMMV).

Drink plenty of water (also helps with staying active--frequent bathroom breaks + the attendant socializing that comes with regularly wandering about the office :) )

Re-contextualize. When I feel myself in a rut, I force myself to do something new and uncomfortable.
