This page makes it sound like the Apple Pencil and the foldable keyboard come in the box, when in fact they are sold separately and are very expensive.

So on top of your £769 for the entry level 'Pro, the Pencil is an extra £119 and keyboard is £179, topping the whole package to £1047. Even more if you go for the 12" model.
My guess is that it's going to overheat before you can effectively use the six core i7 option.

Also, I'm assuming their pricing is based on market research. So by pricing the 2TB version at +$1400 (which you could put into a non-macOS desktop build for like $300), they're implying you're either quite rich, ignorant, or you're spending corporate or academic money.

As a desktop option, why does this seem more expensive than the Macbook Pro?

> C++ helps for 2 but not for 1 because if you don't have a clear high-level understanding of your algorithm, system, pipeline, it's harder to optimize or maintain that optimized code.

I strongly disagree. C++ has very nice tools for abstraction: higher-kinded types, dependent types (to some extent), lambdas & function objects, overloads, etc. It's a pain to design a data flow in C, but in C++ for instance it can just be something like this : https://github.com/RaftLib/RaftLib/wiki/Linking-Kernels or this : https://ericniebler.github.io/range-v3/.
They compared an $800 tablet to a $250 gaming console. The A12x is pretty awesome, but its one of the dumbest comparisons Apple has ever made.
Each individual app developer is making this particular decision, not Google. If you think apps should be free, this is what happens. Pay for your apps, and you shouldn't be subjected to advertisements. This is why I've historically refused to go back to Hulu (you don't get to double dip AND keep me as a customer).
If your ankles connect to your knees, you might be in trouble, friend. :^)
I'm pretty sure there would enough power budget, as the new Macbook Air has a similar volume than the 13" MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro is already offered with quad-core CPUs.

My guess is that they want to have a clear differentiation between MacBook Air (= Dual-Core) and 13" MacBook Pro (= Quad-Core).
It's smaller and way lighter, though. In a past life I flew by air several times per week; I would've bought the 12" in a heartbeat if it existed.
Literate programming was esoteric, true, but the concept saw a huge renaissance in academia and data science with the advent of RMarkdown¹ which for many of my colleagues is the default way of preparing technical documents. Another area in which literate programming has become hugely popular is Emacs' Org-mode ecosystem which has fantastic support in the form of Org Babel². I use literate programming for almost everything. Research papers, tech reports, notes, experiments, teaching materials, letters, student evaluations, and so on. It's completely ridiculous how useful it is once you get the hang of it and make it your default document type.

My strategy as a parent: cultivate healthy hobbies with your kid. I taught chess to my daughter when she was 5. We play it together all the time, not only standard chess but also all kinds of variants (she invented a few fun variants herself). She goes to chess club every week and tournaments every couple of months. The iPad is loaded with dozens of chess apps, nothing else. Chess, together with other activities like art and sports take up most of her leisure time.
There is no room left for the ads infested games and videos. We never have to tell her not to play or watch those. And she's having a great time anyway.
Open source decentralized file transfer website, running on IPFS
> "nearly 80% of the internet is running on PHP as of 2018."

I've heard claims like this for years. They almost never explain their methodology for calculating market share among the entire web. The site linked actually shows its methodology and it proves that the author is using the statistic incorrectly.

Under methodolgies:

> We investigate technologies of websites, not of
individual web pages. If we find a technology on any of the pages, it is considered to be used by the website.

This does not prove that 80% of the web is powered by PHP, but rather 80% of websites studied had PHP running in some capacity, under the same domain.

It would be wildly inaccurate to assess from that, that

> "nearly 80% of the internet is running on PHP as of 2018." as claimed.

Google.com may have a wordpress blog for press releases running somewhere under their domain... that hardly means google is powered by wordpress.

Also, for example it would be totally wrong to say Facebook is powered solely by PHP.

The simplest way would be downloading something like MaryTTS [1], read the documentation, and train your own voice model. It won't be perfect, but shouldn't be too hard.

I'm not really sure what to suggest in between those two. Some kind of convolutional NN, I guess?

I've been doing web-design work on a 13" MBA, and while I love the 12" Macbook form factor and would have loved to adopt that machine, I find that the base resolution offered on the 12" display is just too small in screen real estate and throws me off completely when I'm designing things. (I'm aware that you can set it to display an artificially higher resolution but I find the fonts and the whole experience way too small to look at comfortably in that setting)

The suggestions I've added help but not entirely, as evenings usually have to be planned in advance (you can't just summon friends at 5:59pm).

Going through these activity suggestions daily helps me in two ways: 1) it reminds me what a true afterhours activity looks like (ie. not more work stuff desguised as leisure) and 2) it reminds me to plan ahead my evenings in the near future.

This is the correct answer. 'Base clock' is just the steady-state clock speed given power and thermals. Boost clock is more relevant in general usage.
True, while the AdaNet project doesn’t currently include the most advanced architecture search policies/search spaces out of the box, it does provide an abstraction (adanet.subnetwork.Generator) for researchers to implement their neural architecture search algorithms, while exposing a production-friendly TF Estimator interface for users. This makes it easier for developments in algorithms to be integrated into production, and for users who are already plugged into the TF Estimator ecosystem to benefit from these developments sooner.

I would like to point out though, that even though some aspects of AdaNet aren't as advanced as they could be, we have seen good results with AdaNet on a wide variety of tasks. Try it on yours and see!

And of course, we are not going to stop after exposing an interface! We are excited to work in this space ourselves too, and we will continue to update this project as we make progress.

Out here in the free world, every time you want to use a library, you have to choose between 12 different options, all suck in one way or another, and you really have no way of making an informed choice. So you pick something by gut feel. Half the time you are wrong, and all of the time you worry that you have made the wrong choice.

But if you buy into Apple's cathedral, they tell you what to use, and you use it. End of story. It's always behind the times, and it won't run outside of Apple's stuff, but it works (for now, at least), it's well documented, and you don't have to spend days finding and comparing solutions. You can get back to writing code, which is the fun part.

In practice I’ve rarely found it an inconvenience. More often the problem is having to plug into a display in a conference room or whatever, which sometimes makes me miss the HDMI port that was built in to the older MacBook Pro.

shrug I regularly use all three and I'm always baffled by posts like yours. Yes, macOS might be marginally more polished, but it's pretty much a matter of few days to get used to new patterns of the OS and that's it.

But yeah, if you decided that you will never in your life ever use anything but Apple operating system, then you just don't have a choice in the market. You'll have to buy what they serve you.
Disagree. It's entirely possible to introduce children to iPads as an introductory device. Should you give them unrestricted access to the internet and App Store? Probably not. But load up a couple of high-quality apps, and you can make it a very good tool for learning.
The SSDs they use are almost an order of magnitude faster than regular consumer grade ones you can get for just over $300, and I was surprised last time I priced up something with decent performance that it cost about the same whether buying from Apple or not.
> Love the device but I can't get over how expensive it has gotten. A 20% price bump...

I got downvoted for posting this as a top-level comment, but it's insane to me how Apple's hardware specs have stagnated while maintaining the same price.

In 2014 I bought an entry-level Macbook Pro with retina display, 2.6 GHz i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB SSD for $1300.

In 2018 I can buy the entry-level Macbook Pro with retina display, 2.3 GHz i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB SSD, still for $1300.

In 2018 I can also now buy an entry-level Macbook Air with retina display, 1.6 GHz i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB SSD for $1200.

I'm in the market for a new laptop and I'm seriously considering making the jump to Linux rather than paying the same price for the same specs that were available 4.5 years ago.
There're protection mechanisms for many actions in the game. You can't use spells with addons, you can't move your character, etc. Many actions require hardware event, e.g. you can't just buy something, you need to press button for that. If you're sending mail with gold, you need to confirm that you really want to send that gold and addon can't override that confirmation (so malicious addon can't invisibly send your gold to someone). There wasn't protection for trade window, so malicious attacker could steal your gold and/or items, but Blizzard added that protection very quickly after that exploit was found.

It's just a game, so they don't take it very seriously, I guess. They could just revert transaction using their moderator powers if something bad happens.

I am very doubtful that Venice has some latent value outside of Tourism.
There are many reasons it fell out of power while other cities flourish and thrived during the same period.

This isn't a case like Singapore where land is limited because you could just live in the mainland. The buildings are all historical treasures so modernizing the infrastructure is probably out of the question. So business need to thrive in a place that is hard to access, can't grow, and can't modernize itself.

Don't get me wrong, I love the place but the only people who live there are Millionaires that use those houses as vacation homes half the year and don't contribute much to the local economy. The local craftspeople are all masters so only the most wealthy could afford their wares so they have been replaced by Chinese souvenir shops.

It's definitely a shame but I don't see how a common Italian person is supposed to reap the benefits of less tourism.
It's almost certainly the case that learning precision dexterity early in life is far easier than later. There are neurophysiological reasons why it's easier to learn certain skills earlier in life.

That being said, this is just one guy's opinion, not a true motor behavioral study. The impulse to blame the "kids these days" seems like an ever-present force, so I wouldn't place too much emphasis on this without a proper study of precision dextrous manipulation across age cohorts.
It's more than a little absurd that there isn't a passable date picker implemented across the major browsers. I have wasted far, far too much of my life fighting with different half-baked JS datepicker components already in my life.
Yes if you want to get into detail, one should compare environmental cost per calorie. Even then, beef still is worse than chicken and most vegetables.

I recognize that some vegetables are far more resource intensive than others, which is why I stated 'the average' vegetable. If we wanted to shift diets towards being more environmentally friendly, we'd have to be selective and deliberate about how we do it.

I would argue that shifting diets rather than trying to get everyone to become vegetarians (that don't eat lettuce) is the most sensible path. It would be hard to convince everyone never to eat a steak again, but if you can get people to go from eating 50 lbs of beef a year to 30 or 40 lbs and shifting to chicken and legumes it could make a sizable difference. Would be even better if the developing world went straight to sustainable diets rather than roaring towards beef-heavy diets.
Every time I write something longer than my signature I realize how weird it is that my hands are out of shape. And it's not even really my hands, but the muscles for writing. My typing muscles are fine and can go almost all day.
So it can run xcode for about 4 seconds until the OS decides to kill it?
Vegetables don't satisfy my tastes nor do I get enough calories from them for my activity output.

One can't argue taste, but I can argue caloric intake for high intensity activities. If a guy can win Western States 100 seven times on a vegan diet (Scott Jurek), I'm not going to worry about getting enough calories.

But as a vegetarian endurance athlete I'll be the first to admit that taste (for some folks) and convenience (for about everyone) kinda go out the window.
That's my big dilemma most days. Do I relax and recover or do I grind it out on my long-term plans? Today me will appreciate the relaxation, but I will never reach the future I want for myself that way.

Given Oumuamua's well documented non-gravitational acceleration, what was the cause? That's the key question this article – and the paper it cites – are investigating.

Comet-like off-gassing has been mostly ruled out due to the lack of observed dust or gas around the object, as well as lack of effect on spin. The paper suggests that a highly reflective 0.3mm-thick film 20m in diameter could be consistent with the observed acceleration. This also happens to be similar in dimensions to lightsails that we've proposed (and in a few cases deployed) here on/around Earth.

Of course, it's just one hypothesis. Could the acceleration be due to some other effect, like the Pioneer anomaly? Sure. Unfortunately, there's no way to ever confirm it given that the object is beyond our ability to observe or catch. But it's still very interesting speculation.
It should be fun telling the Japanese government that shutting down all of their nuclear plants in the last few years is 'anti-science'.
All recent 15 inch and higher-end 13 inch MacBook Pro models come with a "Touch Bar" where the Escape and Function key row ought to go. Sometimes a soft button will appear near the left edge of the Touch Bar that says "Escape", but there's no physical feedback when you touch it, and it doesn't protrude from the surface of the keyboard housing, nor have any key travel like the physical keys do, so all-in-all it's funky to touch-type. Not a happy thing for vim and emacs users, as well as for the korn shell, where it invokes command completion (as on the Tenex / Tops20 shell, for that matter).
This isn't even about having poor dexterity, it's about having poor sewing skills. I would guess that most people's fine motor skills are actually better now than in the "old" days just because of how much people type on phones and computers.
