I don't want the answer to everything to be "Buy a dongle". I have a similar setup at home to my work setup, almost identical - do I need another dongle/hub for home?

I also work from my parents house if I'm visiting, they have a monitor I use, and my girlfriends parents (again if we're visiting) has a dual screen setup in their office I can use.

Do I buy a Hub/dongle for each location? Do I carry one with me at all times? (Good job they made the laptop light as I'll now need 38kg of adapters).

Oh wait, I don't have any of these problems, I just take my 2015 MBP and it plugs in to whatever is there. Nice.
How are you going to know if the person is productive if you are not doing performance reviews?

You have to take an active role in managing them rather than just passively checking in occasionally.
> I actually used the F-keys and ESC a lot

Then remap Caps Lock to Escape right now. There's no good reason not to, considering how easy MacOS makes it.

Can't help you with F-keys though. Never used them myself. On Mac OS there's usually an alternate keyboard shortcut. That row of keys is too far away from home row to be ergonomically useful.

My current keyboard doesn't have that row at all. Actually that was a bit of an issue since I'm using Windows with that keyboard, and unlike Mac OS, there's some real need for F-keys. So I had to remap F3 and F4, but that was all.

In my opinion, the trackpad is a really great idea on paper, as that row should never be used for frequent typing anyway. And it's pretty close to the screen, so it's not too far to look down. But it doesn't seem like they've managed to make it work in practice. I've seen some people who have had success with some customisation though.
OK, sure. But most of us aren't "aggressively exploiting this externality". We're just impressionable, and along for the ride.
That's probably why they started making silver Thinkpads.
The keyboard is great. It means that I get a free battery replacement about every 2 years when keys start getting stuck.
You can recreate it with Raspberry Pi, though it's no longer the best platform for it. It can natively run RISC OS Open, which can be set up to drop you straight into a BBC BASIC prompt as in the old days. And there was plenty of software printed in paper listings form for 32-bit Acorn computers if you want the traditional experience. The issues of Acorn User magazine from 1988 onwards will give you plenty to be getting on with... http://8bs.com/aumags.htm

Apple built its brand on beautiful design.

But why do people want beautifully designed objects? Just to own something beautiful? Sure.

But also because it makes you look cool, attractive to members of the opposite sex, and earns the jealousy of yours.

But a keyboard which sucks ain't cool: sure the externals are great, but wrestling with a stuck capslock is the opposite of exuding je ne sais quoi.

Not cool Apple. Not cool. And therefore not beautiful.

> Take a few minutes to conduct a 'performance review'

I have never seen a company implement a performance review:

- That mattered
- That would have detected anything
- That would be more than the obvious
There is nothing like masOS. But there certainly are alternatives to MacOS. One of which starts with L.
Nice nitpick. I am of course referring to the fact that the ongoing melting of the permafrost will soon reach a point where methane will start to be released on a terrifying scale.
What do you see there ? Women date down or equal ?
It's not even a performance review; it's just root cause analysis. Something like,
"Why isn't Sally meeting her deliverables?"
"Because she spends her time doing PM work."
"Ok, let's see if she want to transfer roles."
Are you saying 80% or more of women don't want monogamous relationships?

I'm typing this on the original Lenovo Yoga Book with 4GB of RAM and it works.

On bootup Win 10 occupies about 2GB of RAM. I'm using Firefox Nightly to view this HN comment and it occupies 500-600 MB of memory, leaving a bit still free.

Yes, 4GB is probably ridiculous for a real laptop. But viewed as a tablet, it (the original Yoga Book) is workable.

Of course, I would love the new Yoga Book to have more memory. Hopefully, Lenovo gets the memo and tries to add more, although that would push the price up.

I've been managing my own mail server since forwever (when nanae was still a thing: news.admin.net-abuse.email).

SPF is not too bad as far as forging countermeasures work. It's relatively simple both to implement and to check. I'm not against it.

What I don't like is every single other standard they pushed later. I personally think DMARC is borderline useless. DKIM is plainly horrid and breaks just about everything you'd expect from email such as mailing lists, while not solving anything both from a legitimacy perspective and from a spam perspective.

Like everybody says, the "recommended" solution is to pour each and every of these half-assed solutions into a score system. Which sucks, because when a legitimate email is rejected, the fix is never trivial: it could be just a perfectly legitimate host which decided that all these solutions are crap (and they're right).

You know my current 90+% spam and scamming source by volume? It's gmail.com. It's passing all these checks, of course. It's the reason I consider DKIM virtually useless even from a legitimacy perspective: a valid DKIM signature from any large/free email provider bears no significance to the point that even if I had a decent UI for validation in my email client, I would basically have to avoid it: "oh, right, another legit scam from gmail.com".
> (Don't do) Performance reviews

> Trust them to produce, and if they are not producing, let them go.

If you are firing someone for performance, you have done a performance review. It's just that it might be entirely in your head or based on office gossip about who appears most productive.

You wouldn't optimise a program without a profiler, so you shouldn't make hire/fire decisions on productivity without some means of measuring productivity. I know it's hard and tends to result in stupid metrics, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be attempted.
I don't see how it depends on price. If it's too late, it's too late. And OK, maybe if you're talking about serious scale CO2 removal. Or (dog forbid) stratospheric sulfate injection. But where would the energy for that come from? Where would our food come from?

The compulsory fakebar forced me to get my first Windows machine for many years. I do in all honesty find Windows fairly nasty compared to macOS, but having a whole row of useful keys replaced with an effete Englishman's private whimsy was a bridge too far for me.

I feel absolutely blessed that I can wear camo cargo shorts and metal band shirts at work.

Obviously I don't wear any of the graphic or gory ones, or from bands with obviously offensive names, and I will choose a nice polo shirt if I know I'm going to be having meetings people from other parts of the organization, especially if they're higher up in the hierarchy.

That said, the best head of development we ever had would wear leather pants, ass-kicking boots, rivet belts and band shirts, and he had a Mongol warrior-style beard and hairstyle. He also consistently got the very best reviews and the best results out of his teams.

I think the people that first encountered computers when they were relatively simple and constrained have a huge advantage over the rest of us

I don't and I grew up in the era of 8 bit machines and kilobytes of RAM etc. I fully recognize that it was fun to have those constraints and we learnt a lot about dealing with them (using less memory, using fewer instructions) but I don't buy that that really matters for most programmers today. They'll have other things to worry about: e.g. debugging distributed programs.

Sure, if you want to do microcontroller work then that sort of thing is useful, but literally nothing stops a "Full Stack" programmer picking up an Arduino and programming it and learning something new.

I love playing with those environments (http://blog.jgc.org/2009/08/just-give-me-simple-cpu-and-few-...) but every day I see people with different experience of computing from me and I don't feel that I have an advantage over them: they often know about things I'm totally ignorant of. It's true that I'm very good at debugging horrible low level things, but it's also true that I'm not good at imagining the state of a system with hundreds of micro-services.
My MacBook keyboard has just given up the ghost completely, spamming the keys 2 and 3 until I unloaded the kext manually.

My anecdotal evidence is not acceptable but your generalized statements (without even an anecdotal evidence) is acceptable?

I agree it was a shock to the system in the short term, and that it wasn’t as effective as everyone expected it to be. But it has certainly brought many many people into the tax fold. This means better tax compliance and more money available for infra.
Sometimes they are so abstract that you fail to notice that they are actually extensible in the required direction.
I agree. I have a very good relationship with my boss, we speak about performance and stuff casually all the time. But we also have a formal review once a year, and it’s really helpful for me. I learn some weaknesses that I have that I might not always have time to talk about in every meet ups.

It’s hard to explain but the context change definitely helps to see exactly where you stand as an employee.
In the old days, No one are using Mac for work apart form small group of Professional Artist. Steve Jobs hated the I.T of Cooperate Enterprise because they get to decide what their employees should use, not the user themselves.

One of the famous quote from Steve " If we succeed, they will buy them, if we don't, they won't! It will all sort itself out" [1].

The problem now are Apple products are getting bought no matter what they make. Businesses are now buying more Mac than ever. Whether we like it or not. The sales figure aren't showing how we vote with our wallet. The Mac Ecosystem has morphed itself into a mini PC market where its replacement unit are sustainable for the Mac business as a whole. There should be now close to ~120M Mac users and an annual 25M Mac sales unit, healthy for a 4 years replacement cycle.

And it is frustrating because 3 years after this Keyboard introduction and despite many of its users best effort and cried for improvement. Nothing has been done. The 2018 MacBook Pro keyboard are still getting double click and non working keys on Reddit and twitter. ( Sorry I can no longer locate the thread ). I guess more reports will come in as time pass by. And it is not as quiet as the MacBook Air Keyboard either.

Thanks, I hadn't given the whole "someone else's body part" aspect much consideration, but I imagine it does feel a bit odd.

And as importantly, people traded tapes, floppies, etc. "If you were an avid gamer, you became a good programmer almost by necessity" is pretty ludicrous.
> 5) everything was so new and exciting ! Nowadays, I don't feel this kind of excitement. Everything is so easy to put in place.

I'm probably the same age as you (started in 1982 on a Philips P2000) and feel the same. What wrecks me every time is the thought how many new things we discovered and did in a timespan of just a few years back then (the lifespan of various home computer models). Today, 10 years pass and all we really get is somewhat faster CPUs, slightly bigger memory, better graphics. And it's not worth it to discover any specific tricks for any platform (like you could on home computers to get more colors / bigger screen etc.).
Article is about increasing the performance per watt.

Before reading, I guessed it was about lowering the "Non Recurring Expenses" of chip design. Currently that is the part keeping enthusiast away. Once we reach any kind of 3D-printing style on demand layout, we will have a github of chip design.
> I'm also not interested in renting software. I'd like to own it, thank you very much. Fusion 360 is only available on a subscription model.

Fully agreed. :)

If you're ok with trying out OSS software, FreeCAD has become pretty decent with the 0.17 release (not long ago) and can also generate the needed CAM drive cutting tools as well.

It's interface is a bit clunky, however it's really powerful too. It does output useful 3D model formats as well, in case you need to send stuff to an outside place for doing stuff with. :)
I agree that this is Christianity's modus operandi, but I think the roots go back much further than colonialism. Back in Rome Christianity was first taken up by slaves and peasants because they liked it's ideology of all men being equal under God. "The meek shall inherit the Earth" and all that. In a country where traditional religion includes a rigorous caste system I bet it's very tempting to be converted to Christianity.
> In my view this is not just an 'India' thing, I'm kinda skeptical of the general anti-tech panic that's been brewing over the last couple years. I think the status quo is pretty good and don't want a bunch of government regulators from the US, Europe, China, India etc to be getting all up in Google's business telling them how to run Youtube.

Exactly.

And I'd also rather we have end-to-end encryption being commonly available so that no options, except perhaps normal cellular telephony, can be trivially tapped by governments.
You might be surprised but I remember an article comparing various computers and input methods and it turns out that USB vs hardware interrupt(PS/2) is significantly more latency. Software plays a role but even e.g. vim vs an old-school computer actually has a noticeable difference. I haven't experienced this myself but I do know writers that use computers from the 80s for this exact reason( George R. R. Martin being one example). I have also heard from other people that have tried this that the QoL improvement is pretty big.
Are all these things applicable before finding the product market fit ?

I have one of the new Apple external keyboards, which I believe have the same keys as the new oft-criticised laptops. (If I'm wrong, please correct me!)

And I like typing on it very much. I previously had the preceding Apple external keyboard which had more travel, and considered getting a mechanical keyboard because 1. it's cool and 2. it's supposed to be nicer to type on, but due to circumstances I got this one and I'm actually quite happy with it. Wondering whether it would've been a good idea at all to try a mechanical one.

Humans are not numbers. If your workforce has a craptastic gender ratio you will hammer that in because potential new members of the minority will be less interested in joining the company.

Mmm...if the effects are merely "undesirable" and not existential than I dare say that the status quo is unlikely to change. I'd go as far as saying that whatever efforts are being done now might simply be lip-service or at best token gestures. Perhaps it is the case that there is a considerable asymmetry in the impact of the effects...
It's tiny, super light, has decent battery, an "ok" CPU, 16GB ram and you can hook up a whole bunch of external peripherals including GPU via thunderbolt 3. It also doesn't have the coil whine the xps has and arguably better worldwide support when you use the premium partners rather than the apple store itself. In general the Macbooks aren't that much more expensive than the alternatives.

Not that I'm directly comparing it to the xps, since the macbook pro is probably more closely related to the xps, but still there's no other device with 16gb RAM in that segment. In terms of CPU the performance is pretty much on par with the Macbook air although it's CPU was last updated in 2015

I don't have one. I still use my 4 year old Macbook air. The only thing that bothers me is that I usually dual boot with linux and the newer macbooks are getting worse to run linux on.
Which is a noble sentiment but simply doesn't happen in the business world (or in many other places). So the hard question is, how do you effectively encourage business to choose the best people regardless of gender?

Some have tried blind interviews but these are very hard to do properly and effectively. A 40% quota is another way to push business into looking beyond gender.

Actually no, it doesn't sound like dictatorship - an elected prime minister making decisions seems the right thing, generally. You would think this is the first time a government pressured an RBI governor. I should add that he wasn't kicked out - his term was not renewed.

What did look like dictatorship to me was a prince tearing up a government ordinance and the poor PM running around trying to appease him. Or a queen pulling strings from behind with her own unaccountable "cabinet" - the NAC. Or the parcelling out of government departments among partners to loot the country. That is as low as it can get.

Such things do exist, at least for general aviation.

This is based on memory from landing (as a passenger) at 29 Palms in California many years ago - hopefully an actual pilot might chip in.

From your map you get the frequency of the tower - when you tune into this there is a looped message giving you some instructions. If you send some click sequence (tap the send button on the radio 3 times or something like that), it plays a weather report.

You have a good look around and if you don't see anyone else landing you broadcast your intentions "intending to land from the north at 29 palms" - then you have a good listen and if no one objects you say your entering final approach, cross your fingers and land!
See, I think we could make generation ships with current-ish tech, and travel the stars, really really slowly. I mean, it would be a huge effort; it would be a really difficult engineering problem, and the ships would be easy to wipe out, but it would still largely be an engineering problem that could be solved, mostly, with the science of today (and a whole lot of time and money)

I think I'd put "uploading" in the same category as 'faster than light travel' - lots and lots of breakthroughs in fundamental sciences need to happen before we get either one of those things. (FTL travel feels less squishy to me, but that's just because the problem can be defined in a less squishy sort of way. I see no evidence that it's actually easier) -
That's not the goal of gender quotas. (With this I don't mean that I support them.)
Paywall? I see no paywall.
The super thin keys are only in the 2016 and later models.
Then a minority-only company should be both cheaper and more productive, by supply and demand.
With respect, I think what you just wrote is statistical nonsense. If your ultimate selection from a pool is heavily biased towards an irrelevant fact (gender) then countering that bias can lead to a better selection.
