Alistair Reynold's Revelation Space universe explores this, often times with sub-light travelers arriving at what they thought would be one of the largest cities in known space only to find it devastated by a plague. More relevantly, the book Chasm City, set in this universe, explores a set of generation ships competing to arrive first at an uninhabited planet.
I get that the license doesn't allow it. My argument here is that I am so heavily invested in macOS for the last 20 years that switching completely, instantly, would be a productivity killer for a while.

Apple is starting to disappoint in the hardware offerings.

Apple, do you know how much money I have spent on your hardware and software over the last 20 years? At least 10 laptops, iMacs, a Mac Pro. iPhones, iPads (always times 2 as my wife upgrades too). Are you seriously going to make me move to another platform?
FWIW You can review the methodology that they use here: https://www.geekbench.com/doc/geekbench4-cpu-workloads.pdf

They don't provide source though. That's a detriment. It would be nice if their benchmarks were publicly audit-able.
You are making the incorrect assumption everyone who works wants a continually higher standard of living. I am perfectly fine with my current material possessions. I don't really want new things anymore. The only reason I continue to work is because I, or my family, are just one major health issue away from losing everything.
The charging mat is the AirPower that I referred to. I'm pretty sure that's the name, right? Yes, HomePod also shipped late; I didn't remember that they'd actually given a quasi-date for it that they missed.

(Technically, they only announced AirPower as coming in 2018, but it sure seems unlikely that "nine months and counting" was the original plan.)
Calling `std::process:exit(1)` at the end of main is identical to `return 1`. I'm not sure what your point is with `env_logger::init`. It sounds like you think destructors are run on static items? They aren't. In fact, until very recently you weren't even allowed to have destructors on consts/statics
The Pro hasn't been updated since 2013, MBPs now have non-upgradable components, and the Mac Mini hasn't been touched in years...

I think there's a pretty solid reason people believe they're ignoring/don't care about professional Mac users.

By the time we have the technology to actually undertake such a journey, we might be able to correct for genetic defects such that some mild inbreeding among a smaller population would not be an issue.

Pug (actually Jade at the time) v0.1: Jul 5, 2010

I'm thinking these are "convergent evolution", especially since they arose in different language communities.

I totally agree that this is the best way to generate HTML. I use pug even for really tiny pages and templates. It amazes me that people like JSX, which seems like a total regression from building elements with function calls like React originally had. When I code Cycle.js in coffeescript it looks and feels a lot like pug; which is great.
No joke, since reading this comment I have confirmed in person my MacBook pro is covered and lined up a screen replacement with them. I really would have kicked myself if I found out about this after the coverage period ended. I guess it pays to read HN comments!

Interesting, I'll check it out: sounds like a bug in crossbeam. Thanks for letting me know. It's also true that the language and the ecosystem are different things; that's one reason why we're focusing on stabilizing stuff this year, to help move people off of nightly. 1.26 contained a really huge stabilization in this regard. It is a downside of the "put everything in the ecosystem" approach, though.

You're writing a server with hyper directly? Is there a particular reason you're not using one of the frameworks written on top? I may have some advice there, depending.
I believe the FSF has argued that the GPL is not a contract in order to defend against specifically this problem. Without the GPL, the recipient has no license to redistribute the software. Presumably, that couldn't be enforced in the countries under the treaty, but they would have problems distributing things outside those countries.

People have endured far worse conditions for generations. Humans are probably the best choice in fact, for creating and propagating small communities for generations.
That already happens but they're small communities so you don't have much awareness of those that you're not a member of. Anyone can join privately run forums with like-minded people and sensible moderation that they agree with. There's no problem to be solved. When you want small communities, you have forums, when you want lowest-common-denominator drivel, you have Facebook, and when you want to feel tribal warmth by sharing your political opinions with people who agree with you while also being protected from opinions you don't agree with, you have Twitter.
While I agree with you, it would probably be good enough for light IOS work.

How difficult is it to produce an artificial womb? Very difficult, would be my guess, and morally ambiguous to produce humans without parents, but is it possible?
I can attest to this. I've struggled with anxiety/depression/insomnia/adhd for years, and over the past couple years I've learned that careful attention to exercise, diet, and sleep are the most reliable ways I can ensure a healthy baseline.

I used to run a couple miles in the morning and evenings, on streets, until I injured my leg. So I switched to hiking after my leg recovered. Short 2-3 mile hikes turned into 12 mile stretches, which turned into short trail runs, and now I'm running 5-6 miles of trails 2x a week and 12+ mile runs/hikes on weekends (I'm secretly training for an ultra). I'd always thought I'd hate running, because it was too strenuous or something, but I haven't looked back. Maybe I'm just literally running away from my problems, but, it's far more rewarding in any case.
If you don't care about the specific error code as long as it's non-zero, just returning `Result<(), impl Debug>` does what you want on stable now, right?
Something I went through recently was discovering that by doing the 'wrong' thing first - that is, ignoring 'best practices' and doing the 'easiest' thing to achieve the job, you discover the 'best' way more organically. Even if you end up following the same best practices you ignored initially, you are able to appreciate and understand them more.
Part of it is implemented; see https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=d442c47833587ddeff2158492b0...

The rest of it makes it even better; it's a bit limited in ways right now.
Lemming Suicide Myth: Disney Film Faked Bogus Behavior
Well I guess you could select only female offspring if you were fully committed to this idea.
I doubt it. Kids adapt to the environment they are born into, and it's not like they would have experienced anything else, and they wouldn't know anyone else who had either, except for people in the original generation.
Even as a engineer I don't want to spend that. At work we got Dell laptops and I'm happy we can run Linux so at least I can customise it to feel more like I'm used to with my Mac (eg: sane shortcuts like cmd-c, that don't conflict with ctrl-c terminal commands).
But I rather don't have to customise anything at all and have it 'just work' which for with a Mac is most often the case. I've spend so much time just getting hardware to work and having the laptop behave properly on simple stuff like unplugging a dock, closing a lid or pushing a power button.

There you go. A good task.
NONE of the systems have been updated in 365 days other than the hideously expensive iMac Pro. None.

And with no announcement at WWDC, odds are we won't see updates til 1st Q 2019. The next big hardware announcement will be the iPhone in the Fall. They won't mix iPhone with Mac.

It's also important to look at the averages for the upgrades. It's not consistent at all, except the MBP. All the other Macs, it's on a whimsical schedule.

And the updates, when they've happened have been poorly thought out. Castrating the mac mini, foolishly recreating the Cube as the new Mac Pro. Adding the touchbar, while removing ports. The list goes on.

Apple has lost their way with the Mac. Clear as day. They're doing great with the iPhone/iOS, but they're only paying lip service to the Mac and macOS.
Are geekbench scores meant to be used comparing different CPUs architectures like that? I thought they only made sense when comparing already similar processors.
Switching it off is how you learn to switch it on better.

I started a react project a few years ago and opted against Redux and whatnot. As the project grew and grew it became harder to maintain. Piece by piece, I self identified a 'best practice' that would solve a real problem I had.
No, I meant actually sending a series of clones of Anne Hathaway, each of which raises another clone of Anne Hathaway until the target planet is reached. The first generation would, of course, be the actual Anne Hathaway.

That most of my programs have some global (i.e. "for the runtime of the program") stuff that is setup at the beginning of main. And that some of that might want to Drop when the program exits, for example to delete a temporary directory. Now, if I want to return a non-zero exit code I can not do so while still getting all this global stuff destructed correctly (or use a workaround like having a wrapper-main).

> Calling `std::process:exit(1)` at the end of main is identical to `return 1`.

The thing is that it is actually not the same with respect to destructors -- the documentation explicitly calls that out. See also the C++ comparison in my other comment.
200 km/s seems an order of magnitude high to me for "today's technology". The Voyagers and New Horizons have an escape velocity of around 20 km/s. Isn't reaching escape velocity the metric you want here? You want to leave the solar system after all.

Parker Solar Probe his 200 km/s in orbit around the sun.
I agree that it’s (mostly ?) about signaling. I mentioned the junior web dev profiles because it happened a few weeks ago and because this is precisely a situation (lots of candidates, little to no priors to judge on, similar profiles / education) in which signaling plays an important role.

A personal website is interesting in that there are many dimensions on which you can show your attention to details, from design to hosting.
I wonder what would happen if people launching later decided to pick up the people who launched earlier. Like they’re headed towards the same destination anyway, following the same general intergalactic line. Sure finding a ship in space is like finding a needle in a vast vacuum but maybe their ships would emit enough radiation for their “scent” to be traceable. And if picking up other traveler isn’t important enough to warrant a pit stop, maybe the ships that left earlier would have valuable information for the ships who leave later on.
Mac sales are pretty good relative to the overall market.

iMacs are almost definitely a minority compared to laptops (Apple doesn't break out sales by model), but since Apple is selling somewhere north of 10 million Macs/year, there have to be several million iMacs in active use.
Personally, I'd much prefer proactive auditing (i.e. requiring source code) over waiting until someone is injured and possibly killed to launch an investigation.

Transparency is a dependency of trust. There's no going around that. If a product is not transparent, then it is not trustworthy, period. I'm not at all inclined to wait for something to violate my trust further before demanding a prerequisite for that trust. Governments shouldn't be so inclined, either, especially when it comes to human safety.
Tech can be a fine thing, yet there is also something to say about spending more time walking on trails in the woods (for example). Maybe the well-meaning elders are talking more about restoring a balance of activity and time-spent. As I age I see the importance of that more and more.
I use the XPS13 with pre-installed Ubuntu. All of the above work great. I usually use it plugged into an external 4k monitor.
Unless it was started by colonists who left years after you did but with technology orders of magnitude faster. Say the year after you leave in a colony ship with contemporary propulsion systems, wormhole travel is discovered and a second colonization effort is started thousands of years before you arrive.

(I chose wormholes specifically because it makes it more believable that you were not contacted or picked up and pulled along by the faster technology.)

> I recently sold an XPS 13, an i7 9543 model from 2015, which was the first laptop in a long time that I regretted buying.

I've got 9350 and it's also bad. Coil whine, one firmware update completely bricked it (fortunately was on warranty), "fun" with accessories (TB15 was a disaster). Would not recommend.

Actually it's only the NBD warranty that keeps me with Dell (used that and it's very convenient). Does Microsoft have something like that?
One thing to note is that the camera viewpoint (it's position, roll, pitch, and yaw) is fed along with the images during training. Requiring access to this ground truth makes this method very constraining to use in practice.
The problem there is that if you wait for the right technology to appear, it may never happen, because all of the effort and resources that would’ve been put into researching and manufacturing engines for interstellar ships would’ve instead been put into something else. There’s still a chance that we stumble upon the right tech anyway, but the chances are greatly reduced and even if we do, it’ll likely be far later (centuries even) than it would’ve been had we been had we actively been developing said technology.

From my perspective, it makes more sense to risk obsoleting previous missions and send ships as soon as it’s possible to do so because it’s a far better outcome than waiting for tech that never came and never sending a mission at all.
This is the perfect description of why I’ll probably never leave Mac land. I want my technology to work out the box, and Mac does that.

Sure I could probably setup the Linux trackpad to be Mac like if I threw plenty of hours at it, but I don’t want to waste my time like that, not anymore. I did in my youth, but now I’ll just buy the thing that works.
You mean write down a good objective function, making terrible ones are trivial. And the hard part is figuring out if the objective function you've spent six months refining actually gives sensible scores or if you just encoded all the mean of your data in that one hand tuned constant with six digits.
The mystical claim is that the world is like a board game where we can extrapolate from the success of AlphaGo/Zero to AGI taking over the world.

That's just pure speculation because nobody has a clue what such an intelligence would look like. I can imagine using the mind infinity stone to take over the world, but that doesn't make it realistic.
No, it is though, because other package managers are not daemons and they don't have this problem.

Which brings up a much overlooked issue regarding colonization efforts: antibodies and the human immune system in general being exposed to an alien environment after generations of sterile space travel.

I think the point of the article doesn't have anything to do with skin in the game .. it has to do with which kind of system the expertise applies, and then how to value that expertise in light of that system.

So, if its an open system (which I believe businesses are): value and encourage diverse expert viewpoints. What follows, if some level of success is attained, is a less dramatic fall into chaos of that open system.
They discontinued the xserve in 2011, was nice buying the last three of them directly from Apple.

I'll grant that Apple probably does care about "professional Mac users," so long as they are professional iOS developers.

Outside this narrow group of professional users, it's hard for me to see how the article is wrong.

My wife had a refurbished X40 for the longest time. One time, the fan gave in, I tried to clean it, but couldn't get it to move. I figured it couldn't hurt to Google the part-number, and quickly ended up on IBMs country-local website with a local phone number. I dialed, and braced, half for an infinite IVR tree, half for being quoted a number in the range of the GDP of a small country. But neither happened, a few minutes later, a very helpful woman had quoted me something like $9.46 including postage and taking payment by card. The new fan arrived a few days later, and the X40 went on to live for a few more years. That thing was a tank.

So one AGI is like a billion human beings, so a little bit less than China or India. And like countries, there will be other AGIs. An AGI isn't born in a vacuum, it comes into existence in a world advanced enough for such a tech to be developed. As such, it's reasonable to suppose there will limitations for AGIs when it decides that world conquest is a worthy goal.
Yeah, this illustration is what can be done in PPT in 5 minutes to explain how adding more layers/data can filter noise from signal, when I don't think it will take 5 minutes for me to write a LaTEX code that does the same. That's not counting Powerpoint does allow me to draw lines and stuff easily on a canvas. If I want to do it in LaTEX, I probably will need to draw that diagram on a separate program and import it back.

That's true, but then you have to juggle Results as your return type everywhere. It's probably a good idea overall, but some people don't want to do that. And yes, you don't get to pick the code. Yet!

Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Earplay”: Before the Podcast, a Story-Focused Series
aah, gotcha. Gee, you’d think in the eons they spent after settling on that new planet and sorting out their turf wars that they would have thought to maybe launch a ship with their advanced wormhole-hopping tech to collect earlier travelers who may still be traveling along that intergalactic path. If for any purpose other than studying how spending such a long time in space has affected them. But that would be too thoughtful or something.
Would I be correct that you tried WSL in late summer/fall last year? I'm asking because WSL got a pile of new syscalls, a couple of which (if I recall correctly) fixed the unicorn issue you hit. Likewise, there are now standard GPOs you can distribute that exempt WSL from Defender. I 100% agree that running a Linux VM can sometimes be a lot better (and it's not exactly hard, given that Hyper-V has been in Windows for forever and has strong command-line support), but I find that I can use WSL for virtually everything these days compared to even six months ago.
I wouldn't. Say what you want about Windows and MacOS, there hasn't been a single problem on either of those OS's that I couldn't fix in a couple of hours. I routinely spend days and even weeks wrestling with Linux trying to get it to do something that should "just work." Most recently? Trying to get the OpenVPN client to work.
I wish there are less people like you and more people who want to fix things. For reasons which should be obvious I guess.

> This is simply not true. First, there is no Haskell influence on the language.

Since Scala has no build-in way to define FP constructs(monads, functors.. ), cats and scalaz are practically inseparable from the language itself when you try to go beyond the basics in FP. So, it is very easy to see where all the confusion is coming from
