They are different chips in the sense of being different generations. It's interesting that the Air is a "Y" part which is the same low-power/lower performance family as the Macbook. No updates for the Macbook yet otherwise they probably would be the same.

Macbook 12" 2017 = i7-7Y75 (top spec, cheaper ones are lower clocked i3/i5 Y)

Macbook Air 2018 = i7-8510Y (617 graphics supposedly faster)

Legitimate question: if you have multiple pages, are you still actually creating an SPA ? That may be the problem that you're encountering, and I can sympathize. Nobody wants to transfer state across page loads, it's a mess...
The RAM is user serviceable on the new Mini. The drive might be soldered this time but even the 2014 still allowed you to replace it so I am cautiously optimistic that the iFixit teardown will reveal it to also be replaceable. Which makes the i7 Mac Mini with base specs quite attractive.

If not you can use an external SSD since it's a desktop computer and doesn't move. An external 1TB Samsung for everything besides applications and OS isn't bad at all.
I used to know a guy whose dad had a factory for things like detergent. They did most of the product development and then would put the product into the packages of a lot of name brands. So whatever detergent you buy probably comes from a very small number of manufacturers.

Yes. It's infuriating to me that even some Apple's "Games we Love" are packed with ads and predatory buy-coins-to-unlock-things formats.
I think it's amazing to compare the handling of this case with that of James Damore. Whatever you may think of what he wrote, he never physically assaulted anybody.
I think most people have taken it pretty well, since a majority of employees got their grants priced before the bull market of the last few years. It does really suck though if your grant was priced in August (like mine), which is an instant 20% pay cut.
"A mode where you could read or set the selection data with base64 quoted strings. This gives the application full control over its interaction with X's cut & paste buffers. For example, if you Shift-select some text, the application can tell X about it so that other applications can paste. I think there is still an xterm configure option for this one."

base64-encoded selection data sounds intriguing, but I'm not sure I understand what base64 has to do with the application being able to tell X about some text being selected.

And doesn't X already know when some text has been selected, simply from the contents of the primary selection having changed?
Too little, too late. The Intel NUC is far and away the better computer in this form factor - it's smaller, faster and cheaper. Also there's a better chance that it will receive an upgrade sooner than 6 years from now.

DeVaul (the accused) admitted it and apologized.
The "writing on the wall" refers to the story of Belshazzar's feast. Belshazzar throws a particularly blasphemous party, and a hand appears and writes "mene, mene, tekel, upharsin" on the wall, which the prophet Daniel translates as "weighed, weighed, found wanting: divided!" and means that the rule of the Babylonians comes to an end and the Medes and Persians will split the kingdom.

In other words, seeing the writing on the wall means that you have failed and will lose what you have.

ARM, in this context, means the processors that power Android phones, iPhones and tablets of all kinds. ARM is the designing company; many other companies license the design.

There is a lot of speculation that Apple will quit buying Intel CPUs and move to ARM CPUs, because Apple makes ARM CPUs.
Free Beta Test: Hetzner Cloud Volumes
Not to take away from the larger concern, but in your mother's case, perhaps a case with a significant border would help.

I suppose if there is not a ready-made one that suits, making /hacking one, the old-fashioned way or through 3D printing, would be an option.

One reason I put a case on every one of my cell phones, is to give me something more substantial to hold on to. The thin bodies and edges start to become a detriment; all the more so in that I have no interest in squeezing mine into the pocket of skinny jeans.
Unit conversion no longer being an issue, I wish everyone went back to the imperial units. (Computers are not 10-based anyway.)
I don't think you understand. It is the morale of the whole Google X rank and file, or at least, some large portion thereof, that's at risk. If my employer protected a sexually harassing executive like this, I would be quickly looking for a new job and likely be significantly less productive in the meantime. Why should I bother to work hard for a company whose leaders have those values?

That's why execs even bother to put out damage control emails like the one Astro Teller sent. Or the ones following mass layouts. They are trying to stop the morale bleeding to avoid a crisis. Maybe it will work this time, maybe it won't and they'll have to fire DeVaul.
It's about developers having an install base to make games against. They need to ship a controller with an apple tv, otherwise gaming stays in the casual corner it usually is in iOS.

These iPads are more powerful than any nintendo switch, but nintendo has them beat because they have a dedicated gaming hardware ecosystem. I wish I could use my iPhone like I would a switch, but I can't because there isn't any serious games or first party hardware.

As a result, serious game devs target mobile last, if they do at all. I bought Transistor for my apple TV for example and asked for the first refund of an iOS app ever because it was an crashy mess. I played it on my PC instead.
Famous tourist sites are not fungible. No matter how beautiful Torino is, people still want to visit Venice. It's partly the brand value and it's partly the real things that do exist there.
If your drive enclosures are USB A you’re leaving massive throughout on the table and wasting your time for what would be a $30 part on Amazon.

The new “spare charger” is a 10kmAh battery pack which will have USB-C and some double as a way to jump start your car (assuming you still drive ICE). It’s also a worthwhile upgrade and much more useful than something that has you hunting for outlets at the airport, or god forbid, under your seat on a plane!

But a C D Reader? What is that? Is that like the radio that truckers used to use to talk to each other in the road?
One baseline to think about is SOC-II compliance. You'll also need training for your organization and certain designated people that are responsible for security. You'll want a third party to audit your architecture / pentest your systems. Finally, a lot of pressure will be from whoever you may be working with (hospitals, clinics, data brokers, etc) with respect to proving your security. They'll put you through their own IT and securitya audits. In terms of FDA clearance, you'll want to look into the 510(k) fast track, and look for similar systems to yours.

> The Swift Playgrounds app really hasn’t gotten any love[1] since it was first introduced.

The UI has been changed slightly.

Well, it's UIKit. You can just pull up the documentation at developer.apple.com.

> The preview views are tremendously buggy (really the whole app is) and there is all sorts of hidden debug stuff running in the background[2] that slows down performance.

The app is very buggy, but the debug stuff cannot be turned off because it's compiled into the code you write.

No: you can add additional files to the "Sources" folder. This is how Apple's tutorial playgrounds work.

Looking back at human history, QoL is correlated with increased hands and minds available to do useful work. QoL is not generally highest during population crashes.

I'd rather live now than during the black death, or in ancient times when 90% of humanity had to devote their entire lives to food production. In contrast, 90% of the phds who have ever lived are alive right now. We have freed people to do great things.

I can't speak for a society with 100 billion. I know that its inventiveness would be so far beyond our comprehension that such a society might not lack any particular experience. As long as we're talking about science fiction level hypotheticals of population, maybe it would build a Dyson sphere, maybe they would master human photosynthesis, who knows.
Most JSON/data APIs for SPAs are similar to SQL database servers: maintaining a persistent connection is useful for performance reasons, but there's nothing about the API that dictates that it's required. The only state that is required across API calls is an authenticated session, and that is maintained on the server side.
Does this fix the cgroup memory reporting issue? It's caused me a lot of pain with containers containing crap code that assumes the memory is all available.
Right, what it does potentially solve (comparing GPL to AGPL) is this:

Amazon takes your work and solves the "service layer" story, but having never distributed any binaries, they are not obligated to share their modifications in any way.

Under the AGPL, if you solve the core issue, and they borrow your solution adding a proper service layer to it, that would need to be released as source code, in a way that users could repeat the deployment on their own.

I say "potentially solves" because nobody is solving 80% of the problem better than anyone else can and releasing their 80% solution as AGPL, saving "Amazon jobs" for the Amazon people. And if they were, it would be easily circumvented; Amazon would simply never take the bait. Best case, they would figure out what makes your solution so much better and then implement those ideas for themselves in a clean-room.
I get horrible scrolling on the Apple one and smooth as butter on the Google one. This is Chrome on a 2013 MBP OSX Mojave. I will say that the Google one takes way too long to load things for sure.
The future is application processors. No point in switching to another general purpose CPU.
Just pointing out that 'piece' is an editorial, not a news article.

The US has had multiple waves of immigration from most of the world, over the last few centuries. And there has been similar pushback from nativists over and over again. If that long history is any indication, Sweden will be fine.

>And as the number of species of wild animal on the planet ticks down to zero, this is the sort of complacency that will say "well it's been fine so far, I still have my Brawndo"

Rhino and Tigers could be raised as livestock for their valuable whatever, but people seem to be even more opposed to that than letting wild animals go extinct. That's the spiritual part of it. The value of wild animal life for its own sake is taken as an absolute value.
In case you haven't been paying attention Canonical came to the same conclusion as Red-Hat and decided to pivot into server and IoT space, as Linux desktop hardly brings any money into business.

So the "easy" desktop user is on its way out.

If you go back far enough, scaled media was traveling groups doing pop-up performances as they rolled through towns, hoping to make enough to keep themselves housed and fed. You make it sound like it was some kind of centralized mass-entertainment complex, but in reality that was rare until media had enough scale to create "rock stars" in the first place!

The Mac Mini is using full desktop components, not NUC laptop components. That's why it supports 4 times as much RAM, Thunderbolt 3, and a 65 watt CPU compared to the 25 watt NUCs.
It would be very unlike Apple to lean on cloud tech for this kind of thing. iPads won’t run Xcode until they have sufficient specs to do so on their own.
There are, but they aren't good. This [1] still seems to be the best offering by the most established brand. The reason people want Apple to make them isn't because they aren't available. It is because a version made by Apple would be expected to be far superior to anything else on the market. I assume Apple knows this and is not yet able to deliver on that quality so they simply aren't offering it.

I've never though of your second point, but I've found myself doing exactly that. There is some metal that takes multiple listens for me to appreciate, and requires concentration. Trying to do anything while listening to tech death for example, would annoy me. However, if I just sit down and listen to it, over time I appreciate it more and more.
I hadn't seen that before. Time tracking is probably the harder part to make a polished solution. Invoicing is much less frequent, and while I'm using to a desktop app now, I could live with a web app.

Time tracking though - if it's not a button in my menu bar I can click start on (and helpful stuff like noticing inactivity and pausing/prompting etc) I'm going to forget to enter times.

I've wondered sometimes if it'd be possible to fork the toggl desktop app (its open source) and reverse-engineer a backend to support it (or just update the desktop app with new backend calls).
Sure, but the chipset and motherboard need to support ECC. You can't just add a DIMM with ECC and have it work.
Whether or not the earth can sustain 100 billion humans was the scope of the statement, so I don't think resources other than food is a separate issue.

I agree with the assertion that humanity is more sustainable (all other things being equal) vegan or vegetarian rather than omnivorous, but it's going to far to suggest we could just swap in humans for livestock.
I think the point is that they can simply discard IP addresses as soon as they receive the message.

A lot of stuff is moving to HEIC as an intermediary high quality format between JPEG and RAW. Though that being said between this and Photoshop on the iPad I'd assume that they're looking to support large RAW files for just this use case. Creative graphical applications seems to be a sweet spot for this kind of device.
>> It's getting better every year, as peripherals and other devices switch over to USB-C.

Speaking for normal people, though, how often do they turn over their devices and peripherals?

When I bought my laptop over a year ago, I made sure it had USB-C/TB3 from a future-proofing perspective, but I have yet to actually buy any device that connects to it via USB-C, and I don't foresee myself buying many either. On the other hand, I still have a ton of older devices that are USB-A that I still use.

Even when it comes to USB keys, I still prefer USB-A, because it's more than likely that I'll need to connect it to a device that doesn't have USB-C.

I do have some mobile devices that charge by USB-C like my phone, but I still charge them off of USB-A power sources.
I personally hate travel and can identify with some of what he expressed here, but at a deeper level this throbs with a kind of elitism that really bothers me.

Is there even any possible solution to the "problem" of some people living in or near a place that others would wish to visit or even move to? What gives one set of people the right to live in/visit a place and denies others that same right?
It's not an easy problem and a well crafted paragraph by a talented writer doesn't transform it into one.
Beef is a product made from cows. Cows require land, food, water, and infrastructure. Producing beef leads to the destruction of ecosystems, like the Amazon Rainforest [1]. By consuming beef, you are contributing to this phenomenon the article discusses. The emissions from your car, similarly, contribute to climate change and the destruction that goes with it as well. The lifestyle one chooses to lead, the products one consumes, and the decisions a person makes are all very much factors in the reduction of animal populations.

I'm starting to believe that you aren't arguing in good faith, in part because your statements are just thrown out there without any evidence or citation. Sure, a pound of beef or chicken contains more protein or calories than a pound of vegetables. But that's a nonsensical and misleading claim - many more pounds of vegetables went into producing that pound of beef and chicken. Many of those calories, by the way, were exhausted by the metabolic processes of those animals too. A much more efficient utilization of resources would involve just using those vegetable calories directly.

You can tell which end is which by touch alone with USB-A (since the USB-A connector is so much larger than the Lightning connector).
I don't really agree with the author that SPA's are almost always worse. Although sometimes they're gratuitous, as was the case with a lot of early Angular apps where it was pretty clear that the developers thought they were being cool by making way too many things behave "dynamicky" for the sake of having their work appear more like an app than a site.

On the other hand, there are plenty of times where a multi-page app is just fine. If that's the tool that works best for you, then by all means use it. The vast majority of users don't even perceive things like page reloading, etc. Build something useful, whatever the means are.

> To me the huge amount of low cost junk in the App Store doesn't feel right next to the high quality expensive products Apple sells.

Matching the specs of my 5 year old iMac puts this at $1,900, and I'm not even sure if the new graphics card is comparable to the GTX 775M that Apple included 5 years ago.
if you need any example of this type of behavior just look how "normal programmers" view labview programmers. most people completely snub their nose at labview "users" for not being real programmers and engineers (don't tell me they don't because i experience this constantly). in addition, labview's capability is often misunderstood by people who hide behind a wall of self-imposed bias. many times people are actually unaware of what is possible with labview simply because they don't care to know because it's not the real, hardcore, in the weeds type of stuff they were taught in school. meanwhile, people using labview to program windows, real-time high-performance, real-time embedded linux, and fpga systems (including cameras, sdr, etc.), all with the same language, are able to accomplish quite a lot. i fully concede that labview has many downfalls, but my criticism is based upon actual use of the language and tools and not via some uninformed bias. because of that, my criticisms don't necessarily overlap with those of the uninformed. and this is all relevant because when i tell people i use labview, you can just see any interest in my programming work leave their face, as i've become a simple tool user in their eyes.

this is a specific example regarding labview, but these types of biases exist everywhere, where engineers blind themselves to what is possible by the opacity of what was possible.
