You are correct, I bought an Intel NUC with an i7 in it and that had the 16Gb limit. Furthermore, it only had two cores and hyperthreading whereas I was 'used to' i7 having four proper cores and HT.

I wanted to have a desktop that I could leave on without it taking lots of power (CO2 matters) or needing a wind-tunnel grade fan to keep it cool (noise matters). So it had some variant of what Apple used. In my opinion this CPU was a dud, I had to upgrade the BIOS numerous times and it wasn't any quicker than my elderly i5 powered laptop. Plus it wasn't as silent as hoped:

Apple used the same RAM limited CPU in 2015:

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/G0QP3LL/A/refurbished-133...

The subsequent products with the useless keyboard were to use iterations of this lemon of a CPU.

My Intel NUC is actually in a drawer unused. I had lost a couple of keys on the elderly i5 laptop, I bought a new backlit keyboard for that on ebay, it came from China in an incredible 3 days and cost ~£50 including shipping. This is the keyboard I am using right now. It actually looks super cool as the laptop was originally all in silver, the replacement keyboard and surround is black and the design looks so good because the mousepad is still silver coloured. It looks like a high end German product due to that colourway combo.
From Game Theory perspective, "not using Linux" is actually the game's equilibrium. Because if you have to choose between a proprietary OS (Windows, macOS) and an FOSS (GNU/Linux, BSD, ...), you'd have to choose the former in order to increase your own utility. If people said they're gonna start using Linux from now on, that wouldn't work, since at least some are willing to "unilaterally deviate" from that decision and use Windows/macOS to gain a boost against others.

If you want people to start using FOSS, you'd have to offer them something they can't have on non-FOSS alternatives.
There can be a huge number. I mean look at Baltimore for example. Median home price is $260k and salaries for engineers range anywhere from $60k - $250k. There was a post here the other day about how Grand Rapids had some huge amount of tech companies. Many towns with Universities are built for biking and walking and also have strong presence of companies looking for engineers.
can confirm. I got no popups asking for emails yet.
i'm not defending macbooks here unconditionally. of course keyboard is worse than previous generation. i hope apple fixes it in the next. but otherwise, macbooks are hands down best hardware design of a laptop on the market. touchpad alone makes me not even consider any of the lenovo stuff. visual, tactile and functional design matter more to me than having 32g ram. not having more holes is preferable to me than having more holes. abandoning everything for 4 usbc ports is painful at first, but a great decision that will move the industry as a whole forward.

of course this is all subjective, use whatever works best for you.
How does it save time, given this command will rarely be run, and next version will automatically run it on GC? Instead of copy/pasting a command you now have to copy-paste that same command with more gunk added and run it separately.
Can you explain how you see this as a solution?

We can view this problem on any scale as it seems to be applicable everywhere. On a world scale the fundamental issue is that people who are of low education, low income, and high religiosity are increasingly the ones primarily repopulating our planet. This means that any given child is more and more likely to be born into this sort of circumstance. And many of these characteristics tend to pass from parent to child. It matters not what chunk of land they call home.
Didn't realize, I was cycling through them all and it just kept popping up, that's better. I should get some sleep.
Personally I like to just get the Windows version and load Linux with GRUB as a second boot option. The few times I need to do something on Windows (photo editing, some games) I just reboot.
It's just code, compiled into a library that you can use, and queries are either logged by the library or in your database. What exactly is so impenetrable? That's just strange. Also CRUD is the ideal scenario for ORMs which handle all the mapping, security, parameterization, and even conversions between data types and models seamlessly while letting you just work with your objects.

It seems you either didn't use ORMs correctly or used a very poor one.
Cool Retro Term began in November 2013, Cathode in January 2011. That's rather a short "decade or more".

And I think that you'll find that TeleVideo et al. actually did it first, three (proper) decades before either of those. (-:

Global Crypto Investments Will at Least Double, According to ING Bank’s Study
I've been very happy with my Surface Book, FWIW - as beautiful as it is powerful, though with a price to match. (But there are plenty of good options these days - I've heard good things about the XPS too, though personally I didn't like the feel of the keyboard).
I tend to disagree on this. A method that improves on a previous best in class benchmark by ~30 percent is certainly impressive. While supervised learning state of the art benchmarks for visual tracking are significantly higher, we shouldn't ignore unsupervised (or essentially unsupervised, as in this case) methods simply because they are currently weaker. While they may remain weaker, there's immense value in increasing our unsupervised benchmarks, as another commenter pointed out.
Overly dramatic; Apple is doing fine. But they are definitely behind in appeasing the pro user segment with decent hardware and not doing nearly enough to fix that. I replaced my 2012 model (essentially the last model that had Steve Jobs' fingers all over it) late last year with the 15" model. So far so good with the keyboard but not looking forward to having to cash in my overpriced apple care and lose it for a week or more while Apple does whatever it needs to do to fix a problem that shouldn't need fixing.

What I want and what Apple sold me are miles apart at this point and they came very close to losing my business. Technically, I could be up and running using Linux and not lose a lot of time having to switch tools. Essentially everything I care about should just work. I do backend stuff. In the end I chickened out and had to replace my old laptop in a hurry and went for an easy upgrade to not lose time dealing with a different OS, configuring shit that shouldn't need configuring, shopping around, etc. That's what it means to be a pro, I just don't have time for that stuff. I don't even mind the steep price. I'm totally OK paying 4K for a laptop that I use every day for 3-5 years. Not a problem. Earns itself back within weeks. I bill more per week.

But I do want quality and performance. I'm getting neither with the latest model. It's fine but nothing special. Mind you, I have the tricked out version with the extra GPU memory, faster cpu, etc. But it's 16GB, just like the one it replaced. Has a slightly faster 4 core CPU, just like the one it replaced. I guess the SSD is a slightly faster but don't really notice much difference. The retina screen is nice but I would have preferred a non glossy one. I clocked my builds before and after and they're about 30% faster on the new machine. That's appalling for a state of the art laptop replacing a laptop that was half a decade old.

On top of that the keyboard absolutely sucks. It's loud, flimsy, lacks keys I need, the arrow keys are tiny, etc. Terrible job in form over function style design. The touch bar is a nice gimmick but not getting a lot of value out of it. Definitely not worth losing the function keys over. I don't think I would miss it.

If I were to shop right now and had more time to do so. I'd be looking to get one of those nice new CPUs with 6 or more cores (yes, I actually use them), 32 GB, or 64 GB even. Decent cooling so the laptop doesn't throttle itself every time I need some performance. A keyboard that doesn't suck. And less dependence on dongles would also be awesome though not super critical for me. If that means 0.5cm thicker laptop: great. Not a problem.

On a positive note, I know several people that have abandoned Apple. They seem quite happy with their windows/linux laptops but they seem to be replacing them fairly quickly as well. My observation with issues they are having is that competitors still have some catching up to do. You get issues with trackpads on linux, webcams that are in weird positions (dell), build quality issues, etc.

All that means in my book that all Apple needs to do is slightly up their game on the quality front and they'll be fine.

I figure you can have a touch of segment An, a touch of segment B.

My home city is Mumbai (in fact, the rural city of Thane, north of Mumbai) a standout amongst the most thick expansive urban areas on the planet.

Open transportation in Mumbai, as far as recurrence, limit, dependability, and cost is now superior to anything any American city (I'm including NYC that). It could be better; for example the city is served by standard check prepares however the metro railroad (whatever measure a tram is) that goes underground is still under development.

In spite of all that, and regardless of the way that the tallest working in the city is a unimportant 88 stories[1] the foundation is stressing under the weight each day. All the steady employments (government, tech, managing an account) are moved in only maybe a couple parts of the city (South Mumbai and the Andheri-Bandra-Dadar triangle, perhaps Powai; my geology may be somewhat obsolete in light of the fact that I haven't lived there for a long time). What's more, land in those spots is cosmically expensive[2] (here's a non-extravagance 3-bed condo for USD 1.3m in South Mumbai). That implies everybody whose isn't living with guardians who purchased decades back in those spots has 3-hour round trek drives each day (I was one of those individuals).

Building taller wouldn't densify the city since rich individuals will probably purchase that new lodging and they have littler families by and large. Enhancing open transportation won't change laws of separation and movement - like I said it's as of now very great. It would be better for individuals in North Mumbai if there were more occupations closer to them so they wouldn't need to drive so far consistently.

Rural, auto driven, sprawl isn't perfect for city development, however nor is the grouping of occupations in a single place.

In Ruby, using Sequel:

DB[:cars].where { insurance_end_date < Time.now }.count

(replacing "Time.now" with Sequel.function("NOW") if you want server side, or whatever date/time formatting function you want that'll return time/date in your desired format client side; client side it'll be evaluated once)

I think most ORMs can do a reasonable job at this in languages where you have sufficient flexibility in overloading behaviour.
As for me, education system is not created for children at all. It is made for government, it is comfortable for them when for children it is very difficult. It is awful. I think that too much education can cause a bad effect on health and nerves. Thats why a lot of students smoke. Educational system is difficult a little bit. I have huge problems with my neck and nerves because of learning smth without sleeping. When i will have children i will let them use such services https://pro-papers.com/au/prices to keep them healthier.

I do a lot of things that aren't really possible in older VCS with git, which is why I spent more time with it.
>but I read between the lines that you think HN has to be "modernized" and I have learned this usually means something with infinite scrolling, Javascript required for simple things like displaying text and pictures, lots of whitespace, bloat and many other things that would make me prefer leprosy over using the site.

Many here seem do read between those lines, but modernity and bloat are not synonymous, although for some reason Hacker News seems to believe so, despite knowing better.

This site does get updates, though, and many seem to lead people to clutch their pearls for fear that the staff changed one thing too many and the spell is broken and the slide towards Reddit is inevitable. Links used to break if they sat in your cache for too long - that was a bug, the staff admitted it was a bug, yet people here insisted it was necessary to maintain intellectual quality. This community fetishizes the layout of this web forum to a weird degree.

Yes, the site is minimalist and loads quickly. It would also be minimalist and would load quickly with modern HTML and a more readable stylesheet.
Maybe, if their MacBook Pros were just a little bit thicker (say, the thickness of the 2013-2015 models), they'd be able to fit a big enough battery for the extra power draw to not matter too much?
I'm not sure you're disagreeing with the author. In the article, full-stack is described as being "the ability to easily navigate the back-end and front-end with a senior level of expertise."

I'm a backend dev; I know enough JS and CSS to build a prototype, or to make a tweak like you're suggesting, but I can't build a production-level frontend app or website. If that's full-stack, the term is a bit too fluid to be meaningful, in my opinion.

Having the "How does it work?" modal appear first for new users would present a better FTUE, although I can see why you went with the side menu/infobar.

Perhaps making the "How does it work?" link more prominent (positioning/color/size/container styling) would help drive the right user experience.
I had to bite… The sqlite repository has only 20795 commits since May 2000 at the time of this writing:
https://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?udc=1&ss=m&n=100000&y=ci

This is the amount of commits that goes into Linux every ~5months.

Has anyone done any meaningful performance comparison between fossil and git?
On the other hand, online check-in makes it so you can arrive to the airport ~30 minutes before an international flight if you don't carry any luggage, which is extremely convenient.
Yes but at that price, it's a very bad deal. You might as well buy a refurbished second hand model.
The difference between a laptop I can comfortably have in a backpack or messenger bag when cycling is huge - it goes from something I took when I was specifically planning to use it (and worried about back pain even then) to something I essentially have on me at all times now.

sure they are but I dont think Android, in 2018, is at a level where it requires apps to market the platform
There's a simple solution for the lack of DDR4LP: end the "thinner and lighter" insanity and provide normal DDR4 with a decent battery capacity by making the laptop 2mm thicker and 0.5 pound heavier.
Exclude the east and west coast mega cities and you have a lot of land but a small chunk of the population. This tends to tie you much closer to a specific employer and has long term risks.
Big fan of the XPS 13. I bought the developer Linux edition first, which had a 1080p (boo!) screen and matte finish (yeah!). It had an issue where the trackpad would just intermittently stop working or the cursor would just zoom around the screen, making it unusable. Dell sent out an engineer THE NEXT DAY TO MY HOUSE with a replacement trackpad. Insane customer support. I ended up swapping it for a Windows version for the same price but with the higher res screen (but gloss) as the HDMI out didn't work on the Linux version. I think this was software rather than hardware.
I’m not an American and I’ve never lived there but aren’t the only cities you can bike safely as a method of transport rather than exercise in the Boston Washington corridor or San Francisco?

There are many places with relatively high salaries and cheap rents for software engineers, but ones where you can live in a nice area, be 15 minutes bike from work and not have a car?

The daycare and maternity leave are probably irrelevant. The OP could probably make enough more in the US that no maternity pay and high childcare costs don’t matter much but he’d still need a car.

Also, comparing Berlin to medium size or small cities will not make the latter look good. Cultural infrastructure is much better if you’re into that. I doubt a parent of a small child has that much time to enjoy it but even just English language cultural events, meet ups etc. will be way more active in Berlin than in say, Raleigh.
However, its nowhere mentioned in the terms that these fees go to or for Marketing, unless I am mistaken.
> Buy real food and cook it
> Bring your own containers/bags

I eat out once a fortnight for dinner and once a week for lunch, and cook the rest of the time. The vast majority of what I buy is fresh food (fruit, vegetables, some small amounts of dairy, meat and pulses). Everything I buy is packaged in single use plastics. My lunch today, the tomatoes came in a cardboard box that was wrapped in plastic, the cucumber was shrink wrapped, the pitta breads came individually wrapped. There are two supermarkets I can choose from and both of them suffer the same problem. All the meat comes in disposable trays with a film covering, and a plastic inlet. Technically the tray is recyclable if I remove the meat and the inside tray and wash it, but my recycling services won't accept it in case it's contaminated by food.

My plastic toothpaste container comes in a cardboard box. My biodegradable bin liners come with a plastic wrapper to protect them.

This isn't something that I can fix, I don't have the option to buy unpackaged goods, or to provide my own containers.
Of course, but it's a tradeoff. These low power low profile Intel CPUs can support more memory, but only DDR4 which is desktop class RAM with more than double the power requirements in use, and four to ten times the power usage in sleep mode.

The logic board would also have the redesigned and bigger for the new chipset, putting pressure on battery space. You see Microsoft making the same choice as Apple with the new Surface laptop.

Fortunately Intel are launching new mobile chips with support for fast, low power LPDDR3E memory over 16GB this year.

https://macdaddy.io/macbook-pro-limited-16gb-ram/
I mostly agree with you. But really, who needs +16GB RAM on their laptop?! I think the need for more RAM is correlated with the need for more CPU clock, more powerful graphic card, and a better Motherboard, all of which result in a huge decrease in battery life (which is supposed to be a laptop's main strength over heavy, power-consuming PC).
Show me a front-end developer that has mastered every aspect of front-end development, or a back-end developer that has mastered every aspect of back-end development.

Everyone else only gets to pick a somewhat arbitrary subset of those aspects. Some pick subsets from both front-end and back-end (in fact even for a front-end developer having at least some understanding of back-end development is a good idea and vice versa). If those subsets have no clear bias for one over the other, congrats: you're doing full-stack.

Yes, the label is misleading, not every full-stack developer can literally work at any level of the stack equally proficiently. And if they're relatively new to programming they may have spread themselves too thin.

Heck, in the 90s most web developers were "full stack" by necessity (mostly because there wasn't much of a frontend until CSS gained traction and AJAX became a thing). Back then we just called them "webmasters".
Agreed about the requirements, but do you also shift the laptop right or bend your arms and shoulders?

I'd sell the numberpad as an external device. People that need it will buy it and place it to the right of the laptop (or maybe to the left for left handers, who knows?)

There is another design problem: it could shield the ports on the side where it is placed.

Another solution: engineer the screen so that it can be shifted 1/3 to the left when the laptop is open. That will align it with the spacebar and the touchpad.

About the XPS, I didn't buy it back in 2014 because the then current model had some thermal problem and because I like 3 physical buttons on the touchpad. HP ZBooks do have them.
Breaking Smart: How software is eating the world
This. I gave up after several rounds of dist-upgrades broke, then fixed, then re-broke things. If you’re making fundamental architectural changes on a regular (monthly) basis, it’s pretty clear you’re not interested in being taken seriously in the business user world.
+1 for the sculpt ergonomic, the older black version (with external numpad) and newer surface version are both great.

The newer surface version is mostly better because it has an Fn key instead of a physical switch to go between media keys and F1, F2, etc.. plus real home/insert/end/arrow keys. I do wish they left the numberpad separate though, as it increase the distance to my mouse/trackpad and I preferred to just get rid of it, as personally I never use it. But many people also like to have it...

Newer version is also bluetooth which is great on mac, but less great on windows/linux as you don't get bootloader support.
> - The web cam is at the worst possible position. It films your fingers and breast, rather than head!

As someone who's going bald, this is a feature rather than a bug.

Of course, I'd like 4 cameras on the corners and software that allows me to shift a virtual camera to the center of whatever video conference tool I'm using.

BTW, that would be a brilliant new feature for Apple laptops of the future. That and chroma/motion key built in the camera video processing pipelines or, perhaps, the full set of iPhone image processing options.
>Basic things like selecting a word using the keyboard would take one of three key combos depending on which app. I think sometimes it was ctrl-shift-arrow, sometimes alt-shift-arrow and sometimes fn-shift-arrow.

Whereas all Linux GUI applications follow a completely consistent set of keyboard bindings...
True, but on the other hand if the developer gets told they are loading nearly 20,000 objects they should be smart enough to realize something is going to need to be optimized here, and although I don't know how to do it I better find out.
They do. And they got fined AU$9M a week ago.
