1. It's not Safari only. It's Webkit only and there are legitimate security reasons for this.

2. The idea that UNIX is antithetical to what Apple stands for is just ridiculous. It is still at the core of iOS and MacOS and is one of the areas where Apple continues to innovate.

3. Apple licensed MacOS in the past. It nearly killed the company since third parties like PowerComputing went straight after their core base and did nothing to grow the ecosystem.

4. You can see what your iOS device is doing. Plenty of apps allow you to see what processes are running, file system behaviour etc. Apple just doesn't build it in.

5. Anyone who thinks the Mac is dead needs to go have a lie down with some chamomile tea. Apple even today doubled down on the Mac with the new Air + Mini. And they will continue to grow and invest in the platform since content creation will always be largely done on a Mac.
I like the new keyboards well enough yet often turn to my 2014 Air for the soft and quiet typing.
It's a subtle difference that not everyone will notice, but the icons will not be quite as sharp at these alternate resolutions due to uneven pixel scaling. The icons were drawn for a specific resolution, not the in between ones. This is also why System Preferences marks one resolution as best for the display.

I can absolutely see the difference on the iMac I use at work, unfortunately.

Thanks for the precisions!

I was referring to TensorRT from Nvidia and TPUs from Google.

One of the strength of the TFLite API is that the same exported tflite model can run on both mobiles and servers. It may make less sense to run lite models on servers, because of the loss of precision but it may also have its own use case for very big models on cheap servers.

Nvidia sells Android devices and embedded boards for robotic, which will surely have some sort of TensorRT-derived cores if not already. Goole could one day integrate their specialized cores (security and TPUs) into their phones too, or into AI-oriented IoT devices.

> Also, the Squeak VM has (IIRC) limited ability to make use of true parallelism.

The Squeak VM is single-threaded, OS-wise, so it's just green threads. I don't even honestly remember to what extent its green threads are preemptive; I do remember that anything hitting C would pause other threads until it concluded, though, which made it really important to make sure that e.g. your database driver was 100% Smalltalk so it wouldn't lock the VM constantly.
Dang. If there was 15 years worth of sea bottom recordings of hidden whale songs I expected a human to be the one to listen it, not an AI. They could use this discovery to further their study of whales and their behavior. Then again, maybe the human will get bored listening to it. An AI won't.

2. Tell me about the pipeline of an idea from inception to delivery. (Give them opportunities to talk about points where people interact. Your looking to see if they think the ideas of the people at or below your level in the org are important and heard.)

3. Ask them to explain something in their org that is similar to your companies in as much tech detail as possible. Try to gauge if they have taken the time to understand what the different components in their system are.

I'd say it's moreso a trade off that favors "getting it out the door quickly" over security. It's reasonable that, if you want your app to integrate with a Google Home, you should expect it to be authenticated. Plus, the fact that this API is undocumented seems indicative that 3rd-party integration wasn't the purpose.

This makes me wonder why GitHub is effectively using a single database (though replicated with HA considerations and CQRS-ized).

From the article, it appears they are are partitioning based on function (commits in this DB, PRs in this cluster)... but I just don't see a strong business need to glob all commit data together into one massive datastore. Perhaps it's an economy-of-scale driver?
What if exposing them to ads when they are young builds up a tolerance towards ads? I definitely saw ads ever since I was young, but I pay no attention to ads nowadays. Often I don't even realize ads are there, because I seem to filter them out.

I would like to use this as a file server and a torrent client. Does anyone here have some idea about the SSD endurance or can explain with some numbers, how long it'd last for the specific SSDs Apple is using (or even generic SSDs as a comparison)? Let's assume I write 2TB of data every month on to a 512GB SSD or 256GB SSD.

I tend to use such machines for a decade or longer (for as long as it doesn't break down completely), and considering that right now using Linux on these (with access to these SSDs) is difficult, I fear I might be out of up-to-date options in the future.

This is an interesting take.

I think where I draw the line with Netflix compared to Facebook or Youtube is twofold:

1) Netflix does not have such a wealth of content that they micro-target my individual psyche†. When I watch Stranger Things, I don't feel like I'm being manipulated, and I feel satisfied with the time I spent when I'm done.

2) As long as I maintain my subscription, Netflix makes the same amount of money regardless of how much or little time I spend on their service. So I feel as though my interests are generally aligned with theirs.

And, this may be neither here nor there, but I inherently like serials, and have since I was a child. I just spent nearly two years reading the Wheel of Time novels and becoming super immersed in that fantasy world. Longer and slower paced stories aren't necessarily paced poorly, although they certainly can be‡.

†They can do more subtle things like adjust a show's poster image, but at least that doesn't affect the content.

‡Wheel of Time specifically has massive pacing issues, and thus may not have been the best example here.

Building with Drones and Earth
Faster at -what-? People make tons of speed claims, but what is it faster at? I'll be interested to see real world bench marks. I highly doubt the new iPad Pro can outperform the newly released Surface Pro with the base i7. I mean...he did say -in the past year- and the new Surface has been available for...a few weeks. Also mind you that the new Surface line doesn't even used Intel's latest chips, the latest are 9th gen, but the new Surface is only packing the 8th. Honestly, when you think about it, their claims weren't overly impressive given they were comparing their hardware to the 7th gen Intel chips.

That's not to say what they've done isn't impressive and that they don't plan to kick Intel to the curb...but it is entirely possible this will be another PowerPC thing, where PowerPC outperforms for a while, Apple switches and then Intel gets their shit together and others are no longer able to compete. If Intel were to merely get a good integrated GPU that could compete with Nvidia's, there is no chance Apple could compete.

WoW also does similar things to this; see the end of the article. It's good that they specifically relate it to losing items/gold, since many players actually may not make that connection, and may not think the risk is as big as it is.
>I’m very curious as to how parents effectively censor the world for older kids who are around other kids, without turning into the dreaded “helicopter” parent.

If you don't let kids above the age of 6 play on their own with no adult supervision, then you're already a helicopter parent. You might be a milder version of it, but you'll produce some of the same dependence.

At the age of 7 go to school on their own and come back home on their own. They often play unsupervised and walk around town on their own. You cannot stop kids from being exposed to content you disapprove of without being a helicopter parent.
I'm kinda disappointed that there's only a single SSD option and no way to add another cheaper drive in it. That could've allowed someone to go with the lowest internal SSD drive. I understand Apple wanted to make and keep this one small, but the ability to an internal hard drive could've helped a lot on the cost front and also helped on the speed front (compared to an external drive).

In the past, I've replaced the DVD drive with another internal hard drive (though that was at a slightly lower speed).

Maybe the reasonable answer is that you shouldn't, especially in the face of rapidly changing technology, which nowadays gives us huge choice of what to look at. The example of outdated censorship doesn't make a valid argument for more restrictions.
раржпег? this trick was used on anonymous forums for years.
Telling someone that you are poly and then inviting them to Burning Man is essentially a proposition. Individually, maybe each of those things is not quite a proposition, though they are both fairly inappropriate for an interview setting IMO.

I have nothing against polyamory (as long as it is not abusive in any way and all participants are on a level playing field) but the fact remains that out of all the "relationship statuses" you could articulate to someone, it's one of the few (?) that can be legitimately interpreted as a proposition, obviously depending on context. In that regard it is fundamentally different from simply telling someone "I am married", which generally implies an exclusive relationship—like it or not, that's the cultural context.

There are lots of tools you can use to develop iOS apps other than Xcode. Phonegap/Cordova/OutSystems, Visual Studio, Xojo, Mendix, LiveCode et al.

End of the day, Apple like any other corporation does what it does because it makes money for them. The alternative is to use a "free" operating system like Android and you subject yourself to constant surveillance. It's like that scene in The Big Short; "tell me how you're f*ing me." At least with Apple, you know straight up what you're getting yourself into. Your relationship with Apple ends when you stop using their devices. Not so with Google/Facebook, where your data lives on in perpetuity, used for purposes beyond your control.

Now I'm not saying it's not possible to have your cake and eat it too. I'm saying, where is this mythical product, where a user is free to do whatever he wants with his device? What's the market size? How come no one has built it yet?
I don't understand -- getting a message out is advertising by definition.

Not everyone attends a rally and not every rally is (or needs to be) covered in the news.

Also: in the US parties are less powerful (and not even mentioned in the constitution) so each candidate is presented individually and it's up to that candidate to bring up whichever issues (local or national) that they consider relevant. There is nothing like the party list system. So the structure of elections are quite different from the ones in, say, France or Germany.

It is difficult to get grants if you are not in a university.
It turns out that a common theme is "fiduciary handling of funds". Grant
money usually goes to the bursar who takes 50% or more as "overhead".
But what they assure the granting organization is that the funds are being
spent properly (receipts, taxes).

I approached IBM and asked that they set up and hire a couple accountants
who would receive grant money, track accounts, pay taxes, etc for open
source projects. The accounting payroll could be paid from "overhead
charges" so it wouldn't cost IBM anything. That way an open source project
could apply for a grant and assure the granting organization that the funds
were being properly managed.

>The vast majority of users don't even perceive things like page reloading, etc. Build something useful, whatever the means are.

This is the correct response, but among developers you will have zealotry on this topic. I personally find MPAs easier, but that is based on my work experience and my perception of the learning curved involved in things like React and Angular (I found VueJS to be far easier to learn). I do like the idea of thinking about an API from the get-go with an SPA, but do all applications need an API? Nope. The amount of applications in the business world that will require both a web implementation and an iphone/android app is actually quite small, isn't it?
Its working beautifully.
I'm still not sure. I am not sure it solves any pressing need. Sure Google apps have problems but I can get by with them. It's kind of an 'activation energy' thing where if Google were to cancel keep/calendar I would hunt for another solution. But it might be a .txt file on Dropbox because then again I don't need another service.

It probably affects a specific chip Apple are using that may not be present in the Androids.

The main reason for json, I believe, is that the Jupyter client is separate from the backend. It's actually pretty trivial to run the engine on a beefy box while interacting on a light laptop (on the same subnet). With Jupyter Lab and some fiddling, you can put the server anywhere.

It's also trivial to export notebooks to .py files.

That said, my goodness do notebooks wreak havoc on git. I hope this in particular gets fixed as popularity grows.
