Well, the diagrams are not always matching what I see.

In Charlotte or Seattle, I would expect the downtown area to be discernible on the diagrams.

If I look at Mumbai or Dehli (are we talking about the cities in India?), the diagrams seem totally uncorrelated.
> The niche developer/macrumors posters will never be happy regardless of what Apple does.

Haven't done a survey, but quite a few folks I know who work at Mac shops report that their employers have been steering clear of the new MacBooks and just trying to keep the older models they already have alive, while also looking seriously into the feasibility of switching to PCs running Linux if they don't get their act together.

Making the keyboard reliable would help, but that touchbar is also a legitimate ergonomic concern for anyone who uses software that requires you to be banging on F-keys all day.
I've heard there are a lot of HFT/fintech firms in the Chicago area, which if you've got the math/stats chops for it blows every non-FANG job out of the water in terms of earnings potential.
I never said not to log or look at logs, but a good debugger should be possible to attach to a running process, and reverse debugging can give you access to past events.
What is not difficult to secure these days? Our data is being logged everywhere we go, no wonder that such a big company as Google who has that much customers don't track our data. And it's kind of our own fault because we don't care usually or hope for the best, even using free services and letting them access everything we have.
Anyone who uses a keyboard to navigate their computer (most software professionals worth their salt) hit the escape key often enough to warrant it as a complaint. Try not using your mouse for your computer
I clicked on the link hoping that there would be an option with no emoji bar. Unfortunately this is another generation of disappointing MacBooks I will pass on.
Likely because a new MacBook is no longer backwards compatible with the last 3-5 iterations of chargers.
Don't forget the trackpad so big that your palm interrupts your gestures.
And the touch bar actually has negative utility as you'll end up accidentally pressing some buttons.
> These companies only work for making money and are not around to help people.

This has nothing to do with tech companies.
The OP point of an office being used to impress visitors is on point. Since we're all remote we resorted to building a TV wall of 6 screens of 65 inch each that features a team map of 300 people all around the world. Visitors love it and I don't distract my fellow team members by showing it.
That's what I always thought. The touch bar could be an interesting/useful addition to f-keys, but it's god-awful at being f-keys.
I just remap Caps Lock to the escape key.
> is it having any positive effect

If anything, it's convincing upper management that they must be doing something right because anything that makes us this miserable has to be good for the bottom line.
This is speculation at best, not a fact. There's no data to indicate that developers aren't the 90% customers.
No they don't. They call the police and the police arrest you.
But this raises some questions inside me. Maybe some one can shed some light here.

1. The physical letters that I send to a friend are with my friend. So he is now owner of it and when he dies, it goes to his legal heir. Though I am the one who wrote them. Should it not belong to my heirs since I am the creator ?

2. If we are mapping online to offline equivalents, who inherits the facebook messages ? Is it the sender or receiver ? The messages contain both sent and received items as in discussions.
> The only thing I can think of that's better on macOS is the touchpad, which to the best of my knowledge is a gift given to us mortals by the gods.

I'm absolutely unwilling to give up the Mac trackpad. When I see people who aren't artists using mice I have to question their value system, or assume they haven't discovered the absolute joy that is "tap to click".

Obviously the configuration matters a great deal.
What separates the strong from weak among connections in the brain
I highly encourage mapping the Escape key to the Caps Lock key for a couple days and seeing how it feels. I gave it a spin last year out of curiosity and have since fallen in love with it. My poor pinky no longer has to frequently stretch out to the farthest upper left reaches of the keyboard!

If you're on macOS, you can do this in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys... and selecting the "Escape" in the Caps Lock dropdown.
I was using a late 2011 that I had outfitted with 16GB of ram and a larger SSD, save for the screen, it performs comparatively to the latest models. Now, its graphics just went bad and Apple now considers it "vintage" and won't fix it. I assume the 2012 models will suffer form that fate soon as well.
No, it definitely is. I think you should reread the welcome page: https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html

"The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: civil and substantial.

The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consideration that hadn't previously been mentioned, and by giving more information about the topic, perhaps from personal experience. Whereas comments like "LOL!" or worse still, "That's retarded!" teach us nothing."

If that doesn't sit right with you then maybe you'll be more comfortable using Reddit or something similar.
While I haven't remapped it for Esc (I have for Ctrl), you can reassign both keys. It took about a week to get used to it, but now my Control key acts as caps lock and honestly it works like it was designed to work that way. No more accidental hitting of caps lock with my pinky, and no weird gestures to hit a key I use all the time. Not saying your method is by any means worse or wrong, just thought it'd be worth pointing out!
That's making the assumption that they stop watching when your national team is not playing, which hasn't been the case here.

Also, as stated, even if you love sports, if I were to turn on something like Die Hard and cheer at the screen every few minutes when Bruce Willis does something awesome, or play a video game and yell profanities because I died, people would (rightly) think I'm a jerk and distracting everyone. Even if I only did once every four years.
I can tell you from personal experience that the touch bar is more useful than the function keys it replaces. You will not miss them after a few weeks. They keyboard is solid too. I cringe if I have to type on the old pro keyboard with its soft keys.
> As though a 2018 laptop should definitely be designed to accommodate software structured for the limitations of 1970.

Hardware should be designed to accommodate the software that is actually being run on it, regardless of when it was first written.
Apple sends hardware to movie production companies. They’ve been doing this for years.
After you gain experience from previous slipped deadlines, you can see patterns that lead to slippage and, more importantly, get wise to the smell of unrealistic expectations. That's how you know that deadlines are going to slip.
Oh wow! It looks like you attempted to avoid the problem with the original Waldo solution (namely, that's it not completely zero-knowledge since you can't fool outsiders.)

I'm not 100% sure I understand your protocol though. You're putting a fake picture that has Waldo in it beneath the cardboard? So that you can always punch a hole to reveal Waldo? How does that prove anything?

I'm not sure what I'm missing here.
Due to sandboxing, the concerns for malicious JS are different from those of C. From what I've seen, bad JS usually tries to record/read and then exfiltrate data, which can only be done through a narrow set of native APIs, which would be comparatively easy to check for.
Surely you must appreciate this is more work than not doing it.
It seems that Node would really benefit from a "NPM is a Ghetto" post similar to Zed's Rails rant.
Just watch it in the breakroom or somewhere where it doesn't disturb others. At one previous employer, they reserved a big conference room / auditorium and got food, like a mini team building event. At another a bunch of people just went to a bar en masse. If you can't take 90 minutes out of your team's schedule, or if it's considered OK to just blast the game in an open-office, there's something wrong with the work culture IMO.

The niche developer/macrumors posters will never be happy regardless of what Apple does

The "niche developer/macrumors posters" were extremely happy with it before, and were hearty advocates of it.

Further, I would say that developers/enthusiasts comprise a very high percentage of macbook purchasers.
They have to recover the money spent on TouchBar R&D. We won’t see a proper MacBook Pro until 2020.

>while also looking seriously into the feasibility of switching to PCs running Linux if they don't get their act together.

This is ultimately what I ended up having to do; not really by choice. My 2015 MBP was stolen, considered looking for a refurb model but found myself test driving an HP Spectre x360-a minute with the keyboard, another few minutes Googling linux driver support on my phone and some other specs. I was walking out the door with the new purchase 15 minutes later.

It's been a couple of days now, I still haven't gotten around to throwing *nix at it, but for a majority of purposes WSL is getting me by pretty nicely enough. A few days of getting a fresh Windows installation and ridding myself of all that retail bloatware, I'm actually not having a bad time with Windows 10 given it's the first time I've dailied a windows machine since XPSP1.

That's how far I'm going to avoid the new mbp because key input means that much to me-given how much time I spend in text fields, but this is a really enjoyable machine so far. After 3 years though my eyes definitely got used to the retina display, and this screen just can't match the color variation or the deep darks-then again it also may be the high gloss touch screen.
It's an internals change, the case itself has not changed, what would be the point of mentioning that the connectivity is the exact same?

They also didn't mention RAM on the 13", because the 13" remains on LPDDR3 and thus there was no change to the possible configurations set.
"A is true because bad things will happen if not" is not a valid argument.

To the specific point, I struggle to find any set of rules which is common across all cultures and generations; care to name a few?
I am having a site which provides information regarding properties in Hyderabad https://propertyadviser.in/, For promotion of site I am looking for sending bulk e mails suggest me a site for this.
Is this the only x86 laptop where disk encryption keys are not vulnerable to Spectre attacks, since they are on T2 Arm processor that doesn’t support speculative execution? Or, if T2 does support speculative execution, it only runs trusted code?
And worth noting the 2015 15-inch MBP they've discontinued had the old non-butterfly keyboards. The old style keyboards are gone, Apple is 100% in on the keyboards they currently have a defect service program on. [1]

(Edit: Though these new MBPs apparently have a new third generation keyboard, so not exactly identical.)

Synthetic DNA Artificial Neural Network Recognizes Handwriting
Same here. My work provides us with Macs (I just got the touchbar one), and 90% of my time is spent in iTerm ssh'd into my linux work desktop with tmux. We had a choice of a ThinkPad, but it is just so goddamn hard to get used to a different trackpad after a mac.
> I assume that labor is the most expensive part of any big-ish company, so it feels like the "offices are cheaper" argument shouldn't work.

This probably depends where you are. An open office plan might well let you use less than half of the square footage per employee, which in somewhere like Manhattan would potentially be saving you on the order of $5-10k per employee. Depending on how significant the productivity hit is, that might well be worth it.

Battery life with a 2017 model is horrible, especially if you are using anything that requires using the discrete graphics card.

Not expecting anything great from the new models on this front.
Apple really doesn't seem to grok that small doesn't necessarily equal low-end in customers' minds. People want small laptops and small phones for reasons other than spending less money. They keep making this mistake with the iPhone SE too.
> For Free Software hackers, the giants turning away from open standards, and towards DRM and abuse of the CFAA, is chilling.

Every DRM needs two sides: A company implementing it and a mass of customers willing to tolerate it.

The serious problem that I see is not the DRM itself, but the laws that prohibit people to develop and distribute cracks for the DRM.

All the keyboard talk is kinda lost on me as I still hate typing on any laptop keyboard and drag one of these around with my laptop: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CYX26BC/

It seems silly but I'm more worried about typing.

It might be something to consider for those with keyboard issues.
I also really love the Waldo example, and give it often. Just FYI (as noted by SilasX in other comments), this is not officially a Zero Knowledge proof, since you're "proving too much" (people who are not the verifier will "know that you know", which is not allowed in ZKPs).

Btw, another favorite of mine which I often give as a riddle (not a ZKP, but an interactive proof): Assume I claim to have the superpower of knowing exactly how many leaves are on a tree just by looking at it. How can you verify this without actually having to count an entire tree's worth of leaves?
Why can't the team agree on some norms of behavior for this very situation? We're supposed to be collaborating, so how about we all collaborate on where to take a phone call, what is and is not acceptable for noice in our work space? If we can or can not microwave fish leftovers and eat our desk? The important stuff.

A critical piece of making the open space work is people being open with another. For watching big events on tv, you can take that into a conference room too. Cheer all you want. Gotta call your partner or someone else? Go in a room.
You can upgrade the SSD yourself (e.g. https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ssd/owc/macbook-pro-retina-d... ) although a 1TB drive is $600.

But then you can't use it for Ctrl!
Deciding between with/without touchbar. Is there a real difference between both? I'm really bad comparing hardware. Here the main difference I've notice:

Non-touchbar:

• Up to 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i7, with 64MB of eDRAM

• 2 USB-c ports

• Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640

With-touchbar:

• Up to 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with 128MB of eDRAM

• Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655

• 4 USB-c ports

As a developer point of view, it looks like the non-touch bar is a good option, and there is not a big gap between both?
> Third, people do shoot the bearer of bad news.

As someone who has been a bearer of bad news, this is a sound advice. Most of the time you are told - "At least give it a try". And even if you tell them - "I did try but still likely we will miss the deadline". They will ask you to check again.

It is mind-numbing when it happens the first time. And most of the time you get disillusioned and think - "I need to look for another job". Guess what? Every corporate works like this. All about positivity and "You can do this" messages. And most importantly people setting up super-aggressive timelines knowing well that you are going to fail.

What's another example? This one strikes me as unique because ARM just sells their IP.

Sure, our mothers probably haven't heard of ARM but that's more like saying they haven't heard of x86. Our mothers have almost definitely heard of Samsung and Apple, both of whom manufacture a large number of ARM chips.

There's even a decent chance they've heard of a company like Qualcomm that's not as well known as Apple or Samsung.
I'm not sure though if that has to be the case though. Some contract types terminate automatically, question is if that is only legally possible for those special cases or if any contract can be written that way. Similarly if data deletion clauses could be challenged or not - being party to a contract that says all data has to be wiped if person X dies doesn't help you with gaining access to that data. That of course isn't part of the current social media user agreements, but could very well be added now as an option.

Unfortunately in this case, since the source repository itself wasn't compromised, there was nothing to audit (assuming the final bundle was packed/minified).

One interesting mitigation would be for NPM to allow you to bind your package directly to a particular repo. So rather than a user (or job system) having to manually go in and publish releases, NPM could assure that what's live always matches what's in the repo.

I've always wondered, how does apt-get solve this? Do they audit every package?
I have a Dell 2n1 for both my work laptop and my personal laptop. I have no problem with either. For the last 20+ years I’ve been exclusively a Windows Developer. But lately as I’ve moved to cloud implementations, Docker and cross platform languages, the “Microsoft Tax” is starting to hit home in terms of costs and resources.

My next personal computer will be a Mac. I’ve had a few in the past. But it will either be a 5K iMac or a hopefully updated Mac Mini. With the Mac you get a true Unix environment and the flexibility to develop for any platform - .Net Core, Android, iOS, etc. and in a pinch you can run Windows.
Hope they help in understanding... Enjoy!
As an entrepreneur, I feel that its not always the problem that they can't be beat at the product game- but that the product doesn't really matter.

Often people don't look at the product, but the marketing. E.G. It's not a problem that SquareSpaces has an awesome site-builder, but it is a problem that they can afford to use [Keanu Reaves](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqnhN2Rzaqc) as their mascot.
This is basically normal. Virtually every software project, except incredibly simple ones, has delays. People, even experienced ones, are very, very bad at estimating.

Just meet with your boss and manager and explain the issues, sooner than later.
If the product owner is still in denial, well, you told them... They have to face reality.
