Can someone more educated on the subject please explain to me what would be required to turn this into a proper development machine? I'm asking about what iOS changes would be needed, rather than opinions about the physical aspects of it like form factor.
Even the poorest "identity groups" in the United States own more wealth than most other "identity groups" across the planet. Western Society also goes out of its way to embrace "the outsider" insofar as it tries very hard to include them in everything to the point of ridiculousness. This tradition of inclusion goes all the way back to Rome, which preferred integration over annihilation (excepting Carthage).

But I get it. It feels good to complain and to hate on things. Especially when there is no downside (e.g. you get patted on the back and told you're a holy person). You might even convince some of the oppressed "identity groups" you're speaking for to help you implement your pet projects along the way.
I agree with a lot of this.

At this point we're basically post scarcity. You plug yourself into the wall, hook yourself up to the IV and that's that. The rest of your post (and all of mine) becomes irrelevant.

It's pretty much an "all bets are off" scenario. :P
I couldn't agree more, why is a simple vertically scrolling page something that needs to be "spiced" up? I couldn't find a way to swipe on my ThinkPad non-touch laptop. I ended up using right arrow keys.

SYNCHACKTECH: A GOOD CREDIT CARD REPAIR
I just discover a lot of people are in debts and also under credit issues crisis, I was also among them before i met this great guy that change my life for good. I have about 23 accounts and i have debts in all. I also have 2 chase credit cards and 1 Amex that are maxed out already. My credit score is about 620 as at then. He helped me clear the debts on my 23 accounts within a week, He also got the debts on the credit cards done within a week as well. SYNCHACKTECH CREDITREPAIR helped me increase my credit score 820 excellent within 72 hours. All my accounts are free from debts and i can now use my credit cards peacefully as well. All thanks to the computer SYNCHACKTECH CREDITREPAIR. You are worth publicizing for (SYNCHACKTECHCREDITREPAIR@MAIL.COM or 8646570231)
A lot of the people I know that listen to death or black metal are very scientific - physicists, mathematicians, etc. I've always figured people are attracted to the music for two reasons -

Firstly because they tend to be social outliers. As kids, smart and a little awkward. Much like the music. It's not for everyone and it gives you a sense identity and a group to belong to.

Secondly because it's challenging to listen to. Like, but somewhat moreso than most genres, you have to spend time figuring the music out. As my mother would say "every song sounds the same" - except it doesn't. There's super complicated time signatures and riffs and everything else. And even if it's not (as) musically complicated, it's just not easy compared to pop tunes on the radio. It's another challenge to work out and make it accessible. And when you do, it's like understanding a world that most others don't (perhaps like coding, or maths, or science).

Anecdotally, metal crowds seem to be far more lovely and polite than most. The Cannibal Corpse show I went to a few years back was remarkably so compared to a lot of the punkrock or hiphop shows I attend...

AGPL says nothing about monetization. It only says Amazon would have to open any modifications they made.

Unless Amazon becomes the new primary developers it does not solve the problem of paying the people actually doing the work.
I just re-read Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos and the analogies between the book's AI TechnoCore and today's Ad-tech industry seem very prescient.
> And meat animals use less resources per pound of protein that vegetable sources.

What? There's literally hundreds of scientific articles out there that establish the opposite, e.g. [1]

[1] https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/31/avoiding...

Edit: Where do you think the protein in cattle comes from? Isn't it… plants? That the cattle eat? Once eaten, the cattle expend some energy to live and then we kill them for meat.

By not eating animals, you cut out the middleman and waste less energy.

Completely Disagree. SPA's are about making your 'site' like a GUI application. If you had to use Apache to navigate pages in visual .net or QT that'd be crazy.

SPA's also benefit from static caching and serving. You do not always need to have the pages being served from your origin, but can be served from a much cheaper source like Cloudflare or even a different origin.
With SPA you usually dont add frontend state on top of backend state, you only have the frontend part, and a stateless API.

This makes it very easy to test and reason about.
Did Buffalo burp/excrete as much methane as modern cows?
I will add that since the learning curve is substantially higher for SPAs, non-technically proficient front-end people (designers or folks who just do HTML/CSS) will constantly bastardize your app; creating 1000 line components, splicing in jQuery, inadvertently creating elements with duplicate IDs. It's been a headache for me at times, and I often feel like I'm the maid cleaning up after people.

It's understood that this can also happen in an MPA, but I think the blast radius is much smaller.
Never mind all that; it has an Escape key! (When they dropped it on the latest MacBook Pro, I feared that this portended its general demise on the whole laptop line...)
No USB ports.

Yeah, no ugly "chin".

Problem is, the iPhone X family got rid of the chin... but have the dreaded notch, and not even the mostly acceptable teardrop everyone else standardized on.

At least the iPad Pro adopted chinless and also notchless design. First time in years Apple has made a product that isn't weirdly ugly.
Absolutely agree! The iPad is already my main gaming machine but it's also 2-4x more expensive than a console. At which point, does it make sense as a gaming platform for anyone not making an above average income?
Wouldn't it make sense to use the iPad Pro as eGPU and second monitor for a MacBook Pro/Air?
one usb-c port on the smaller macbook was of course just a silly stupid idea. But I think 2 is less good than 3 or 4. I'd rather have multiple. next apple needs to convert the phone to use usb-c so we can all move over to one port type.
I really hope so.

Surprisingly, the Republic nearly withstood a certain event seventeen years ago. It is hard to make predictions (especially about the future), and engineers ought to be naturally pessimistic, but amazingly a lot of what makes this country great is still there. I see a lot of down trends and it's not fun.

Why? What is your use case? (Genuinely curious.)
The problem with whaling it's that whales are an important component of the ocean ecosystem, and killing most of the whales will have dire consequences. Cows and chickens are not part of the natural world and killing then to eat them has no effect other than ending an animal's life.

It's not about endangerment, it's about recognizing that the earth is a fragile system that we're pushing closer to the edge with every extinction. We have a responsibility to our descendants to take care of their planet for them until they can arrive.
That only works with their vnc software. So, mouse on windows, through remote desktop running on the ipad.

The iPad itself still has no concept of a cursor.
I guess you could expand it with an external SSD via the USB or thunderbolt ports? Not ideal, but a potential workaround.
Most SSDs support Opal although good luck finding Linux distro support for it.
This was either a sharp prod for intel, or some serious signaling.
I'm less worried about the pencil than I am the port/connector. The pencil is pretty long and there's not much slop back front to back in that port to deal with jostling.
Yes Aegis is one of the examples, among other ones reported throughout the years by Aonix, before they got bought by PTC.

Apparently embedded now means PICs with 8 KB, while anything else more powerful than a late 80's Cray is not embedded anymore.
> The experience was wonderful and highly recommended. I think it's perfect for small teams who are more productive with traditional/backend tech.

You presented the actual valid argument for the OP's position. If you are a small team of largely backend engineers, using tech you aren't familiar with is probably the wrong solution. Unfortunately, the blog post decided to take a more aggressive stance and made the author just look like a fool.
I don't know where to draw the line, but when we start separating families and putting now-unaccompanied children in camps and deporting them separately, I know it's clearly evil.

Being down X% after a pretty serious bull run isn't really a big issue.

I’d assume so. I don’t recall any other mention of scrolling performance.
I second that recommendation about the Lua source code. Back in the 00s I built a kiosk management system in Lua, C, and C++ and it was a delightful language to work with and I found myself reading through the sourcecode a fair bit, always impressed.

I like that analogy even better. Adding some shit to a brownie ruins the brownie but doesn't take away it's "brownie-ness" in a sense. On the contrary, adding any amount of meat to a vegan lasagna instantly disqualifies it from being "vegan". There's an element of binary, black-and-white purity that "being vegan" and "being FOSS" have to have.
I think the thought is to position the iPad mor like the Macs. Macs come with USB-C, too, after all.

So the iPad becomes another device to plug your phone into, so to speak (if only to charge at first).
Because if the add-on just opens up a backdoor, the author can do more specifically targeted things at their whim rather than blasting everyone who installed it? Harder to get caught.
The 'RunScript' keyword does give a slight, glaring hint IMHO.
If you get upper back pain that quickly, I'd be most suspect of your workstation ergonomics. Are you crunching over a laptop?

There are a thousand drawings out there, but basically, you shouldn't have to hunch forward to work on a computer. Your back and upper arms should be roughly vertical, your forearms and thighs should be roughly horizontal, and your monitor should be at about eye height.

Since you're already having problems, treat yourself to the things you need (monitor, keyboard, desk, chair, whatever) that help you get closer to that alignment.

And then work on strengthening and habit-training. I'd vouch for Pilates and the Alexander Technique, but you'll get a hundred equally valid recommendations. The what is probably less important than the that -- so pick what excites you enough to stick with.
No, it will not. The UI Frameworks do not support the concept of a cursor (except for text entry, where it is a bit different than on a computer).
It doesn't hurt that you can get a large chunk of the travel experience virtually now. Either watching someone elses travel vlogs (from just phone camera stuff to professional productions on various places) or using something like google maps lets you "tour" the world.

If I want the sensation of being somewhere busy I could just drive an hour and walk main street in my closest city. I'm sure all the shops and attractions there would love to see you more often as much as the ones halfway around the world would.

And the good news is a lot of missing pieces (the grandeur and immersion that comes with being somewhere in person) can be improved on with VR. Really looking forward to virtual tours of places being commonplace within my lifetime.

To be fair its much the same problem remote work experiences. Its mostly subjective experience that people feel is lacking telecommuting more than anything physically being absent. Which makes it a personal thing if you are satisfied with it or not. But it just being an option means many people can experience 99% of something without having the immense marginal costs moving bodies around the planet.
I feel you are not wrong. But I have no hope that quality and performance will be demanded any time soon, considering how vehemently Javascript desktop software is defended here with terms like 'time to market', 'users have spoken' etc
Maybe I'm being harsh, but I really don't think that it should be impressive that, on a device of this power, you can zoom in and out of a photoshop file without the UI lagging. Note, btw, that the pixels aren't updating in real time, it takes a little bit for the higher resolution to pop in when she zooms in (unless they're recently in cache). She's literally talking about not having the UI lag. This shouldn't be an applause line, this should be basic functionality in 2018.
It is a lot lighter, as well as fanless. I reckon that the lines should be swapped though, so that Air actually meant something again.
Botswana does its gatekeeping by maintaining relatively high prices.

In addition: Quotas to the game parks are strictly limited and enforced.

You can go cheaper (but never cheap) by joining an organized camping tour, which is actually a huge plus.

Camping tour groups get assigned places in the middle of the game reserves (they must apply for permits 18 month in advance and leave the sites in pristine condition).

You can visit the parks individually with a reservation, but are only allowed camping in the entrance area.

The kicker is that if you stay in a very expensive lodge, which can be north of 1000$ a night you will never be sleeping in a park, since commercial exploation is illegal.

It is an expensive country for tourists by design. They rather have a small, but well heeled number of visitors. And while people may moan that it's unfair it's probably the best way to drive "quotas". That, and limited supply of the main attractions.

Well, to be more specific: literally any handbook about statistics will explain the difference between correlation and causation.

That is some serious price gouging on SSD upgrades, +$720 for 1 TB.

Best Buy price matched several 1 TB SSDs (WD Blue, SATA, 2.5") for $150 (Canadian) apiece recently. And the price difference between different consumer SSD types is minimal.
Because Nintendo only started being able to do this within the last year and even then only a few big AAA studios are really on board. AAA games on the switch are really limited to in house Nintendo based IP and Bethesda. There are a few others but not a ton. Notable exceptions include Epic with Fortnight but that's also on iOS so it doesn't really prove the point.

So really Nintendo isn't quite doing it yet. Said as an absolute lover of the switch.

I'd argue while the UX is questionable (panning the page right to left while the user scroll down), the website loads pretty fast, which is a good thing, and the scrolling is smooth. The page also weights less than 14 MB.

Here is an example of horrible UX plus horrible loading time plus janky scrolling brought you by Google. 60 seconds after the page was open the content of the top of the page was still not done loading (72MB before I closed the page).

> American pasture lands, for instance, are not normally arable lands (cannot be used for cropland).

This is a fair point but unfortunately intensive animal agriculture (in feedlots) dominates US and world beef production which requires the growing of corn and other grains to feed entirely or supplement grass-fed beef, introducing further environmental impacts.
It would have been funny to simply pretend that you had entered the line, just to see the social engineer send you LUA code in plaintext.

>The minority is those who insist on the OSI definition as the only appropriate way to use "open source".

No, it's not. I actually ran a poll on my Mastodon account last night:

https://www.strawpoll.me/16741426/r

I followed up with many of the "something else" folks and most of the people I spoke to said that they were confused by the premise because free/open source are different things, and one had a strange and political definition of open source as "software which helps people", and none of them agreed that the Commons Clause qualified.

>The problem I'm seeing is the labeling of people who disagree about a single point (terminology) as bad actors (i.e. people who are bent on "exploiting").

These people might not be bad actors or have bad intent from the start. But if, upon being corrected, they don't change their course, then they are bad actors. They prey on people who don't understand software licensing, and who only know that open source is "good".
It's interesting that the two comments that touch the overpopulation side are being downvoted. Why? Does the people downvoting care to explain?

There's a huge contradiction here. Either you do "something" to control population or else all the measures to control climate change are stillborn. We are struggling with the current population!
User Experience is not just about bottom line, and approaching it from that position is just terrible. People that have to interact with terrible UX don't like those interactions. A 500 error with a bolded text saying "an error occurred" is going to make me never return to your site, because a reasonable user experience for that page doesn't require 10 hours of work.
It has two TB3/Type C ports, GP is just lying for effect.
On the other hand, you also have to understand that humanitarianism must have limits. The resources of nations are not infinite and individuals that are unable to provide for themselves are a tremendous burden on society. And when you accept people that fail to integrate you risk imperiling the very policies that you hold to be worthwhile. For instance, Sweden will be a phenomenal test case. The Globe and Mail ran an interesting piece on their situation here [1]. 16% of Sweden is now made up of individuals that come from quite different ideological backgrounds in Africa and the Mideast. And those numbers continue to rapidly increase.

The ideal was that as these people are treated with decency and respect and given a life not unlike any other Swede might receive, they would be able to integrate and ultimately just becomes Swedes. But this ideal did not really turn out to be justified. So what will happen to Sweden as these individuals begin to be one of the most relevant voting blocs? It's not a rhetorical question, since I don't think anybody really knows the answer. This scale of migration with people of such sharply contrasting worldviews is something relatively novel in the modern developed world. However, in my opinion Sweden's experiment is more likely to end up being seen as a cautionary tale than a model of humanitarianism.

You can program on an iPad already using interpreted languages such as Python and Lua. And you can SSH into other machines, run Git, and have a text editor already.

The main issue with developing on an iPad is that it’s not easy to load unsigned, compiled code on it, and even if you do, there’s not much that the code can do because of the system sandbox.
So, your response is that these declines don't affect you very much since you have faith in future growth of your employer's stock value to compensate you for the current slump.

I'm almost certain that the next iPhone will use USB-C. They just didn't want to do that so soon after getting rid of the headphone jack and promoting the idea of lightning headphones.
It's like saying 'lightning fast', when in reality it could be faster or slower than lightning, it's a metaphor that does well in marketing and doesn't leave you open to legal challenges as much as a more technical reference (e.g. 'zero bezels) would, but gets the point across that bezels are thinner than usual.
I think the next charging revision for the iPhone will be no charging port at all, like the Apple Watch.

But what about headphones? Also wireless.
