Two of my children do most of their schoolwork on iPads now. They're 8th grade & freshman in college — one we got for drawing (2017 iPad Pro) and the other to view college textbooks (2018 basic iPad), and both quickly became primary devices because they're good enough for web and GSuite — and we got keyboard cases & Apple Pencil for each.
I'm not so sure it's strong anymore. Ubuntu all but owns the set it and forget it desktop market and Arch is effectively the standard for power users. Fedora's market share is just dwindling, because there's no where that it outperforms the competition.
It's likely that Lightning connectors will be used for phones and other devices where "slimness" is important, since the Lightning connector is thinner.

USB-C will likely be a thing on "pro" devices where users are expected to create more than consume, and because USB-C can interface with more hardware.
The 15 people in France are self-employed. They pay their own taxes to the French state, they pay their own social and health insurance. It's very simple.

Wrt jurisdiction, usually the employer's jurisdiction. You don't follow "employment law", you follow "international business" law or some such, because that's what it is.
Would this have been affected by the number of available ports on your single loopback address, assuming 127.0.0.1. You'd have to connect via multiple network devices.

Edit: comment below clarifies servers.
if apple were truly imposing USB-C as the "one cable" it would be less frustrating. it's crazy that still, three years after the macbook pro switched to all usb-c, if you go to the apple store and buy a brand new iPhone and a brand new mac, you need an aftermarket cable to connect the two.
Eh, let's avoid eye-rolling hysterics on this forum and stay practical.

There are components that are complex enough to warrant a view library, embedded in an application that's not. In fact, it doesn't take much complexity at all, in my experience. At which point loading a view library a la carte is your only real option.

What doesn't make sense about that?
> it's a metaphor

No, "from edge to edge" and "all-screen design" are not metaphors but as concrete as it gets, and obviously wrong. This iPad may be great but these marketing texts are just straight lies.
Whenever I see people complaining about ads I commiserate. I worry about what happens as things like google glass actually become mainstream and I am always drawn back to this video that I think is a fairly realistic portrayal of what could be in the future: https://vimeo.com/166807261

I have a three year old and he gets so absorbed in screen time and then he goes nuts whenever we tell him it's time to turn off the tv/phone/games. Within a couple of minutes he is usually much more relaxed and I am working to curb any usage that isn't during a road trip/flight.
Some of the things look like they've already been upstreamed (cgroups2). Tejun Heo, the author of this announcement, is a Linux kernel developer.
ditto if I could use Xcode on the iPad Pro I'd almost never use my MacBook Pro. That may be why it hasn't happed yet as many of us probably feel that way.
Because any updated version of the client-side software (e.g. the current one doesn't support Dark Mode) won't support the self hosted backend. It's likely there'll be other OS compatibility issues down the line too.

AKA hacking.
Yeah, if you’ve never pushed Photoshop and think it’s just a photo editing software then it’s understandable that you’d feel this way.
As the article says, different species are affected differently. It's really not that hard to understand that you observing snakes and birds and rabbits in your yard doesn't disprove an extensive scientific study covering all kinds of natural habitats.
I remember 2005 when was running Windows with Linux in a VM, Photoshop, Firefox, my Rails application and all of the other software I needed for development, music and everything else on a 1GHz AMD Athlon and 256MB SDRAM.

When it comes to software that’s not games and stuff like video editing it seems to me like the most of what happens is “It takes time for new software/updates to show up that once again are able to waste the full extent of my newly acquired processing power”.

I know we get more robust games now, I know we render 4K videos instead of 460p, I know we display UI on higher resolution screens but there’s really no excuse for a software with similar feature scope to take the same resources percentage of modern top of the line hardware as mid-tier 18 years old machine.

Bummer ;(
Because none of the factors you list explain the difference. There is 100% scientific certainty that there is a genetic basis for the racial IQ divide. This was never a real debate, it was always reality being attacked by ideologues. But modern technology has simply side stepped the ideologues shouting "racist pseudo-science" at facts they don't like. Over a dozen specific genes have been isolated that affect IQ, both positively and negatively. The distribution of these genes in racial groups is as would be expected based on the measured IQs of those racial groups. Many people were conned by the "IQ isn't real it is racist pseudo-science" lie. I do not believe "DNA isn't real it is racist pseudo-science" will be as effective.
Different antenna perhaps?
I mostly use it for displaying sheet music / band charts, and occasionally as a Presonus Studio One remote control.

I think I would like to move to using Adobe Lightroom on the iPad.
I don't know enough about software to contest that statement, but I suspect you could be underestimating the the complexity of what Photoshop does.

We're also talking about multi-gig files. Outside of media the occurrence of an individual application file this large is pretty small. It's not like you can reliably play a 4K video file on many entry-level machines either.

In a similar vein, I would argue that it's a better indictment of the industry that I sometimes have to close Chrome because it's hogging more resources than Photoshop.
To be fair I already have to carry a ethernet and a display adapter with me. Switching to an USB-C means I don't need other adapters anymore.

At least one USB-A port should be the minimum though.

Between no USB-A with Apple notebooks and no USB-C on the Surface Laptop I don't know whats worse...
Why does using two-finger scroll vertically result in the page moving sideways? I think my touchpad driver is messed up, better visit the genius bar.
I'm skeptical such a tool can stand the test of time per browser changes. A code base may work this year, but not in 5. A dedicated CRUD-friendly GUI standard would likely be well-tested on CRUD because that's its main job, not cat videos nor Amazon product lists.
You can upgrade a 2-disk RAID1 to a 3-disk RAID5, then chain them to RAID0 as normal. It gives you a better chance to keep data intact, hopefully without lowering the write speed seriously.

This is interesting as I deal with this quite often while painting and it causes a few annoyances here and there as the true color is the dry color. When experimenting with finishes, matte vs glossy I noticed how drastically the color changes. When applying a glossy finish the color changes to its wet version as the matte does the opposite. I intuitively concluded that it's got to do with the last layer on the surface and how light is reflected by it.
So they finally removed the last computer with mag safe and a good keyboard from their lineup. I am not at all happy about that. All this computer needed was a new cpu, memory and a type-c port.
Most of the issues listed are either issues with MPA's as well or optional for SPA's.

There are plenty of MPA's with slow first time loads for instance.
It would be interesting to compare that to an equivalent Intel NUC, my guess is you are paying a lot for the ability to run macOS.
I wish they keep iPhone SE design as it is and just update the internals.
I'm glad somebody else feels this way, when my Amiga 1200 runs smoother than most modern computers you know something has gone horribly wrong.

Yes, I am comparing different types of SSDs. Did the fact that I explicitly stated that I was doing so confuse you somehow?

Paying an additional $720 to upgrade to 1 TB when a 1TB NVMe SSD goes for $400 seems ridiculous. But I really have no problem with that price gouging, as long as one can rip the thing apart and upgrade it on one's own.
Startups are just small businesses that adopt technology faster than the market
At my current workplace - as a deliberate design choice - and last one - organically "discovered", but deliberately maintained - we've tended towards building user facing products as collections of smaller apps sharing a backend, rather than typical SPA (Single Page Application) architecture

What that means in practice is that:

1. Routing is always handled server side. The less frontend state (IMO/IME) the better. There will be the odd bit of pushState where appropriate, but no actual full-on routes.

2. Whether to render content server or client side is determined on a case by case basis. It's often easier to build HTML using whatever templating system your backend tooling provides than build a REST/GraphQL endpoint for a component to consume.

3. You can introduce React/React-style programming piecemeal to a team with varying levels of experience. Everyone on a team (with varying degrees of frontend skill/experience) can be productive from day one.

Does anyone else do this?
"poverty" in this case is not "below the US poverty line". "poverty", when used in this context, means failure to satisfy the physiological layer of Maslow's hierarchy of needs: starvation, lack of decent shelter, disease, etc. The suffering from "poverty" in this sense is unimaginable to me. The fact that it's more or less hidden and not a big-ticket media item doesn't make it less of a humanitarian crisis or reduce the suffering involved.

Or put another way, we're not talking about putting dollars in wallets. We're talking about putting food in children's mouths, clothes on their backs, roofs over their heads. Maybe even some education in those heads. Yes, I just used a "think of the children" argument, sorry.
You do still have state, but with a MPA you have a cleaner break between each page and thus far less ability for state to persist and cause problems (though there are plenty of technologies to shoot yourself in the foot if you so desire). I wonder if the most optimal solution is to have a MPA but using some SPA technology. This reduces the overall state of every page, but still gives you decent technology to work with the state of the page that you just cannot do away with.
Still zero need for this kind of exploit. The author of the addon can already do specifically targeted things at whim at a later point in time.
While i have no way of actually knowing, my assumption is battery. They have historically juiced up the battery on cellular models.
Could have made the Pencil triangular. The new shape fixes yet another annoying ergonomic issue with the original - that it's really hard to hold comfortably for extended period of time. There's a reason pencils are hexagon, and pens have rubber grips.
I bought one when it first came out I 2015 and it is still running fine.. Maybe reinstall or check the battery? Does it discharge quicker than it should?
How do you like Coda? I’ve been a Transmit user forever, so I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

With support for the lg 4/5ks I could actually see myself going all in on an iPad Pro for a home setup.
Medical marijuana to my knowledge is typically grown in a hydroponic system indoors. It's one of few plants priced high enough to make this worth it. My hope is that it can improve the tech & bring the prices down so that more crops can be grown indoors. A lot of companies have tried this on fruits & vegetables. I'm not aware of many that have been very successful yet due to the high price of this growing method but it could scale dramatically if the price comes down.

Travel is a huge pollution issue. I believe AR/VR will become an incredibly addictive technology down the road.

Short Term (1-5 yrs) - It'll chip away small amounts by offering another form of entertainment to keep people happy. I think it'll help improve business meetings in the near future as well.

Long Term - I could see it becoming a form of entertainment that reduces the amount of traveling we do. People go to the zoo to see animals because it's easier & cheaper than finding them in the wild. You can also get closer without them eating you or running away. VR will let you do a lot of things you couldn't do or would have to suffer a lot of hardship to do. I think it will also create false expectations of what the real world is like. So ya, I do think as VR graphics & physics get better, it'll replace a large chunk of traveling.
It's a big downgrade from the previous expansion (Legion), which had a playerbase close to WoW's peak.
Yeah. But this is not yet another social network isn't? Very few people would be willing to pay $5 a month compared to the number of people using Facebook or Twitter. Moderating this website is definitely a doable task.
I run https://rnotebook.io -- it's free for the foreseeable future.

The Docker image is 6GB.
It should be taken as an indication that Apple views the iPad Pro as the bottom end of their laptop lineup, which is now standardized on USB C.
I thought fedora was used by redhat to have many users testing features for free before shipping these features to redhat paying customers. Redhat works very well and hardware support is excellent. I use ubuntu at home, but for enterprise context, redhat is my first choice, by far.
Yeah, came here to say the same thing.

Tables + metatables mean that pretty much any structure you want is available. Single Inheritance + Interfaces, Multiple Inheritance, Component Based Design are all things I've seen in the wild on shipped products with Lua.

It's a fantastic 'orchestration' language. Coroutines were also invaluable. We used them extensively to script AI behaviors. Our designers(yes, not developers) would write them with "go to X location", yield, "search for players", yield, etc. Was a really compact way to build a FSM that they could understand.
That's a good comment. The best case scenario for tech employees is that this is just a temporary correction, and the bull market will resume after this short break.

This seems to be the implicit assumption in GP, for example.

However, there's no certainty that will be the case. The next few years could be a sustained bear market, in which stock prices appreciate very modestly.

And while I wouldn't worry about stocks "going to 0" at a big corporation like Amazon, it's certainly possible for the smaller tech companies.
I am very curious about how people who do things like these remain employed. Is there anyone who has been on the back-end of one of these decisions? What's the motivation for keeping a predator around?
There are no current languages that can displace C, none, zero. If you want a language that _will_ displace C it needs to be designed and features mapped, interactions, pros, cons, etc so others can understand it and __why__ choices were made.
You can actually run LUA scripts from chat, exactly the same way:

```
/script d("Hello")
```

But the PC/Mac ESO community tends to be older (rated M) and less gullible in chat. Gold-sellers got a cold reception and rapid bans.

I suspect that'd work on console players, who tend to be younger, if they had scripting and addons, which they do not.
Public alpha also launched today. In addition to reading/commenting on whitepaper, developers can run Storj V3 and view public roadmap and public Jira. Contributing now significantly easier at https://github.com/storj/storj
I felt this way too but was using C++ for work and have grown to like it. If you can use only the newer language features it is actually quite pleasant. You can avoid a lot of the pointer arithmetic and off by one errors that occur in C. I didn't realize how productive I was in the language until I found myself writing a small script I would normally have written in python in C++ instead.
I've touched this part of clang. No C77 but there is a C94 I was surprised to find.
I like how you think they won't follow the same growth curve as USA or Europe. It's insanely stupid. Also we don't have until end of century for the brutal challenge. We have it now and it's ridiculous to ploace the burden on the developing world. We have to act now, in USA, Europe and SE Asia NOW. It's not even worth entertaining the population issue of Africa in 2100 when we have more urgent problems at home RIGHT NOW.

To put that in perspective, the current billion Europeans and north americans is worth about 15-20 billion africans in terms of energy consumption.
I could go out and buy Windows or download Linux, and run them on this and even older computers, which is unfortunately probably what I’ll end up doing at some point. I like Apple, and am pretty bought in to their ecosystem. Their blacklisting of older hardware is one of my few complaints with them, really.
Genius is far too overused in the tech world.
This year, media was focusing on taking down Facebook, i'm forecasting 2019 will be the year media will focus on Amazon. Let's see
HAMR and then HDMR are expected to allow data densities to increase by 5 to 10 times what is currently achievable. HAMR will probably start showing up in a year or two.

Spinning drives are definitely not going away anytime soon unless there is a much more significant drop in the cost of SSDs.
Unpopular opinion: having some time on your own is important for your psycho-hygiene. Only few are able to keep calm without it and that affects interactions with kids too.
I’m not clear what USB-C support will be like yet, but is it possible that will work anyway? The dongles and docks that are available for other USB-C devices (e.g. https://www.owcdigital.com/products/usb-c-dock and similar) might work.
Apple and failed proprietary connectors, name a more iconic duo.
In an open-source crossover, I once heard Jono Bacon (sometime commenter on HN, former Canonical community guy), explain that there are two genres of music in his collection. Death Metal, and Brutal Death Metal. I believe he's been in a band of his own as well.

They seemed to show the iPad Pro getting plugged into what appeared to my eye like an LG ultrafine display using USB-C and using it as a display, I'm guessing you could plug a keyboard into one of the USB-C ports in the back of the ultrafine display (or a BT). Obviously not a mouse, and I'd be surprised if a drawing tablet would work.
Why not just put a case on it?
Most 8 year old PCs can run Windows 10.
This is it. This is the alarm. The siren is sounding.

We are destroying ourselves.

It's not too late: We can wake up together as a species and pull through.

There are two main technological things to be aware of, first Buckminster Fuller "Design Science Revolution" - We have the technology we need already, we just have to deploy it efficiently. Second, Permaculture (Applied Ecology) - we can provide food for ourselves without wrecking Nature.

"Permaculture Behind `Greening the Desert` with Geoff Lawton" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q41b05ku9U

Toby Hemenway - "How Permaculture Can Save Humanity and the Earth, but Not Civilization" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nLKHYHmPbo

The most important things you can do right now are to immediate reduce your "ecological footprint" to a minimum, start or partner with a Permaculture farm to provide your food and fuel[1], and encourage others to join you. Get political: vote and write to your representatives. Vote with your wallet. Change your diet.

It's not too late, and there is a lot to be done. We have to live in harmony with Nature. The good news is that this is fun! Living in harmony with Nature is really fun and enjoyable. We are actually punishing ourselves with the current design of our cities and civilization[2].

The thing we need, the thing we yearn for, is not more gadgets, it's more life. More connection with living things.

It starts with your choice: wake up to a wider world that wants and needs your love and attention.

[1] http://permaculture.com/ "Alcohol Can Be a Gas!" Small-scale alcohol fuel production integrated with a Permaculture farm. You can grow your own energy. The economics are totally different from large-scale industrial ethanol production. You can start this in your backyard and be driving your converted car from your own home-grown carbon-neutral solar energy within a few months. Faster if you scavange feedstock. Farmer Dave used to have an arrangement with a donut shop to ferment their old leftover/scrap dough.

HPC networking is more like 2-3 microseconds. Also it's 200 Gbps instead of 25 Gbps.
Yeah, that's pretty delusional. I don't think anyone has created a phone with a notch that would accurately be characterized as a teardrop shape. The closest was probably Essential (which inexplicably had a notch and a chin). The Pixel 3 notch is a V shape. The OnePlus notch pretty much looks like an iPhone notch. There's no "standard" and certainly no "standard teardrop shape".
If the concept of the term "open source" changes, I feel nobody will be really impacted for the worse.

Of course it does. It dilutes the concept, making it less relevant and useful. Currently I know that I can sell something I make using open source libraries; tomorrow, I won't. At each dilution, the concept is rendered less useful and more irrelevant.

But what will happen is we will see more experimentation with monetization methods that don't rely on loopholes or technicalities in existing licenses to achieve the same thing in practice.

More experimentation is great, but that doesn't justify reusing the terminology to mean other things.

It's not even a good PR move, considering the (completely predictable) pushback. It's just silly.
Contract management! Reading / searching / bookmarking sections works excellently on this, it just seems more natural than when using a normal laptop. More like reading a (significantly larger) paper copy of a contract.
And thermal envelope budget.
I have the 2nd gen iPad Pro (2017) and I haven't seen this kind of behavior. Maybe time of a fresh install, you shouldn't need to do that but sometimes it helps.
I have no idea if you're doing it right without being able to see.

With proper posture, your back will be nearly vertical, and your vertebrae stack directly on top of one another with almost no support from your muscles. You should be able to sit up in your chair and let your chair support your back (your butt should be at the back of your seat instead of slouched to the front).

This is a decent illustration: https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/correct-spin...
Back in the 90s mIRC would download files to the root directory of mIRC itself -- long before the concept of separating user data and code became the norm on Windows -- and if people had "auto accept file transfers" enabled people could send you a viral "script.ini" (as I recall it was called) to you and immediately overwrite your customisations. The end result would spread rapidly as the infected users would share it with others who join and left the channels they were in.
> There are cases where an SPA makes sense but this is a topic for another article.

Without that second part, this is just a trite rant against SPAs.
Tejun is the maintainer of cgroups (and has been for several years, and has moved companies several times). All of my angst and annoyance with cgroupv2 aside, quite a few of these projects were discussed at the last OSS and he's quite right that some of the OOM handling needs to be out-of-kernel to avoid killing things that are doing actual work.
