Isn't it scarier if the government has ulterior motives as a political party?

What you are essentially saying is that the government is not beyond passing policies that result in disruption, death, drop in GDP, and more just to push their political party to win state and other elections
How you can easily change a personality trait
This may work for you or not. The reason I am being upfront about this is due to years of experience. As a born skeptic, whenever I read something like: “this will definitely”…I become cynical.
I have been a professional graphologist for over 40 years. I know what’s true and what is not.
Graphotherapy may help. Why should I limit my business market by implying it may not help everyone? Because it’s the truth…this is not made for every individual. Besides the fact that many people do not understand how it works.
Explanation: When someone changes their usual way of writing, let’s call this style ‘A,’ and now they write style ‘B…’ One thing is for sure…the writer must take note of the difference (and sometimes the slight difficulty of the task). Now let’s say writing ‘A’ is the way an introvert writes, which is the writer’s trait and this writer would like to be more of an extrovert, which is the way one would be writing style ‘B.’ The writer is now trained to write style ‘B. The trick of why this may work is that the writer is informed that writing ‘B’ is the writing of the extrovert. The new writing, after 10 minutes daily for 30 days, has made a great impression and the ‘aware’ person actually look for ways to become more extroverted. This therapy has worked among countless writers. For more info, please visit my website: http://www.learngraphology.com

One might argue that this guy actually wrote a transpiler and not a true compiler as the target language is D and not assembly or machine language.

I don't want to diminish the work this guy has done, but one of the biggest challenges, unless you want to take credit for someone else's work, is to do all the various kind of optimization that a mature compiler would do, at various levels.

So yeah, that's cool, but I was expecting more given the use of the word "compiling".

I don't have a ton of experience selling and haven't closed any deals for our company yet, so take this with a grain of salt, but... the sales approach that I am very fond of, and think has a ton of potential, is Jeff Thull's system, as outlined in Mastering the Complex Sale, Exceptional Selling and The Prime Solution.

Thull's approach is rooted in a developing a deep understanding of how you can create value (real value, mind you) for your customers, and to communicate with them in a way that conveys a very honest and sincere approach. As opposed to the old "Always Be Closing" mantra ala Glengarry Glen Ross, Thull advocates an "Always Be Leaving" approach, where you leave as soon as it's obvious that your solution isn't good for the customer. He would have you recommend a competitor's product if it's actually the better choice, etc. The idea is, as I understand it, two-fold:

1. Trying to sell a solution to a customer who doesn't really need it / has better options, is wasting your time

and

2. The more honest relationship you develop doing this this way will benefit you down the road when the same customer has new needs and your product is the best solution, or when they recommend you to their friends because you treated them with respect, etc.

If I had to summarize it in a way that is probably grossly over-simplifying, but which still captures a lot of the spirit of the thing (I think), I'd say it comes down to:

1. Develop a very deep understanding of your customer, their business, their market, etc.

2. Be hyper-honest with your customers.

I think this approach has a lot going for it, but again, I can't say from real first-hand experience because I haven't spent enough time in the field actually working it. Ask me in a year and hopefully I'll know a lot more.

The Damerau-Levenshtein distance[1] also allows for the transposition of two adjacent characters and is more precise in my experience. That said, those string distance measures often have bad cases where seemingly similar string can result in a high number of "edits" to be estimated by Levensthein'ian algorithms.

In more advanced applications, there's also the Kendall tau distance [2], Jensen-Shannon divergence [3], overlap coefficient [4], Jaccard index [5], any many more, which may prove significantly more precise (depending on your use case).

>True enough at it's inception. But a look at the front page will disprove it today. It's just that some perspectives on some topics are more equal than others.

The intent behind the culture hasn't changed since its inception, though. New users have arrived expecting a greater degree of freedom of exchange and a freer hand than they will ever be permitted.

>There's no debating that re: comments. But it's not relevant to this topic or my comment about the topic (which is high quality, relevant, and tech).

Unfortunately, this forum is designed so that it takes only a few flags to sink a story entirely, and I believe flags are weighted by karma. So the opinion of a minority of high-karma users or a larger set of lower-karma users outweighs that of the masses, and even an objective view of a story's relevance, by design. Cultural integrity and overall quality control is considered more important.

Is the 2018 MBP keyboard different from the 2016-2017 one?

I use a MBP 2018 and thought the keyboard was the same as the 2016-2017 MBPs (since the arrival of the touchbar).

It's understandable that you dislike the keyboard; feedback is awkward, like a shallow hard button button press as opposed to a keypress.

However, over time I have grown to prefer this keyboard over the 2015 one with the deep keys, and can actually type faster on the new one as well. The only thing I find absolutely useless and inconvenient, is the touchbar.
I have one from the original crowdsourcing campaign, with an audio dock. Interference makes the sound quality is so bad it's unusable for any practical purposes. Support was useless.

How enterprise mobile apps are changing IT strategy?
It really does suck. I have 20 years of professional software development on keyboards, the last 2 years purely on the 2017 MBP, if that in any way “qualifies” my opinion. This is a shit keyboard. Period. Probably not the worst keyboard in existence, but definitely the worst in its price bracket. Combined with the TouchBar I don’t think they could have made my development life any more miserable. So if that was the goal, well done! You succeeded. The trackpad is amazing though.

Meanwhile I'm over here quite enjoying it. I type on a Filco MJ2 50% of my time and my MBPr keyboard the other 50%. It's not amazing, but it ain't bad either. At least that's my opinion. And that's what this is all about really... opinion. (Except for actual key failures or issues like that)

Caps lock fails to properly engage on my 2015 MBP too, its not an issue solely of the new KB.

Sure there's issues, but I think people are kicking up WAY too much of a fuss. I too paid >$2000 for my 2017 MBP.

I've used Oracle PL/SQL (and sometimes SQL Server TSQL) extensively for the last 20 years. It's way easier to write data manipulation in this specific type of language than to use Java/.net/C etc. Linq for sql has improved things within Microsoft ecosystem but then you have the big overhead of the ORM etc. I know the Postgres version is heavily based on the Oracle language which has been very successful and endures in big business: banks etc. It's a great language to get stuff done, but the ease of use can cause problems if you don't engineer your solution properly.

For data it's great however my current site uses it for many other things such as heavy xml tranformations, web service calls etc and then the gaps in the language start to show through and you've be better off moving into something general purpose, but you can do almost anything with it if you want...
I admit it's hard to counteract the majority of alarmists, but I don't think it hurts to have a few well-reasoned dissenting comments on every story.

The point is to show a few readers that there isn't consensus on the issue and give them a reason to research it themselves. Until I reached a threshold of doubt to do that it just seemed like a safe bet to believe the rhetoric.
How exactly would this work?
It's my understanding the IP addresses have to be allocated in a somewhat uniform manner to make routing feasible so it looks like it would require you to give a block of IPv6 addresses to the customer's router for it to allocate to the attached PCs, phones and what not, which seems like it would take us back to chewing through the address space pretty quick and also not necessarily achieve the desired effect unless the router keeps logs of the assignments it makes.

But if every device has a fixed or randomized identifier then surely the identifier contains absolutely no routing information whatsoever (the machine might have an address starting ffff:ffff:... but might be behind routers eeee:eeee:... or dddd:dddd:... in completely different parts of the world).

I haven't honestly noticed a difference - I had a 2017 MBP last year, and this year upgraded it to the 2018 model .. they both feel like absolute junk to my hands, although I've been typing since the 70's so I've probably not got the young muscles Apple is after these days...

And yeah, I find the touchbar useless and distracting, mostly. The thing just flashes stupidly in every app I use, and I'm pretty fatigued at having to ignore it. 20 minutes usage in iTerm is enough to drive me bonkers.

Seriously hope that Apple gets its act together for next years MacBook upgrade. I regret this purchase already.
Your macbook is still new :) Wait until it gets slightly older... I got a 1 yr old 2016 model and the keyboard went horrible in no-time. I just got rid of it and returned to my 2015 MBP.

I'm somehow hoping some future model will have normal USB ports, HDMI and a normal keyboard... yeah like that's going to happen.

What a rant (and yes, she is VERY late to the party).

Other than the dust issue which I did have once (and got a keyboard replacement for), I am in the extreme minority when I say that I absolutely love the keystroke feel of this thing (MBP 2016). It's just the right amount of "clicky-clacky" and yet just shallow enough to hit a sweet spot for me.

So yes - they deserve flak for the dust issue. But the key travel and clackiness is really personal taste if you ask me...

I don't understand how people can trash so much the keyboard and then say the trackpad is amazing. It's way too big and my palms keep touching/clicking on it while I type, which breaks my flow all the time, especially when I'm coding in like vim and trigger unwanted keys.
The keyboard isn't great, sure, but I don't hate it nearly as much as I HATE the !@#$!@#$ touchbar, which constantly picks up presses I didn't intend with all sorts of "amusing" side effects.
They are forcing us to buy new external keyboards, and it has worked, I have bought myself a mechanical keyboard that I now use with my laptop and carry around.

I am now one step closer to just be buying a tablet like an iPad with an external keyboard.
That is mere pedantry however. Clearly the main point was that the effects will be undesirable because they will come at the cost of a lot of human life. Whether humanity as a species will survive is, arguably, of lesser importance.
