> I've bought some of their laptops after the transition to Intel, but slowly switched away when macOS became less of a priority

I recall at one of his last keynotes Jobs pointed out that compared to what the iPhone and iPad were bringing in the Mac/macOS division was small by comparison but compared to computer companies like HP or Dell that Apple was shipping more units of higher quality products to fiercely loyal users/fans (this observation preceded announcements of new/upgraded computers iirc). I realize Apple has an obsession with Ferrari-like cool, slick looks to their laptops but I think a blue-collar, enterprise-aimed laptop that says "I'm a serious developer/business person, I will lug an 8 pound laptop if it gives me lots of RAM, lots of processing power, and an all day batter, even if it's not sexy but gets the job done more reliably than anything else in existence" would be a wildly popular product. In short: something like a Lenovo P series (with 8 cores, up to 128GB RAM and a full, QUALITY keyboard without the BS touchbar) but running macOS. Hell, steal the advertising memes that Ford and Chevy use for selling their trucks: an industrial-grade laptop workstation for the knowledge workers who make the knowledge economy work.

I would buy two right away.

Bamboo fabric is very soft and comfortable, if you haven't tried it yet you should!

Downside: it doesn't last as long as cotton, and takes a bit longer to dry after washing.
It's a major improvement over having to fingerprint unlock every time I pick up my phone. I can't speak for the comparative security of each, but as an ease-of-use feature it's a home run.
I share your experience but I think that all of that shows that they are doing something right, having too many customers is hardly a bad problem to have.
If Apple had let users downgrade back to iOS 10 for slower/older devices, I'd say a lot of the negative press would have been averted.

Have a look at http://cKnowledge.org/rpi-crowd-tuning and https://portalparts.acm.org/3230000/3229762/fm/frontmatter.p... - they also discuss a growing gap between academia and industry, and suggest some solutions.
A buddy of mine in the SEO space kept quitting Expedia to go work for the competition and finding himself back on the Expedia team via acquisitions. After the 3rd or so time he got so frustrated he quit the travel industry entirely lol.
Christmas 1976 my parents gave me an Arp Axxe, which was a simpler, less-expensive version of the much more famous Odyssey [1]. It was great for a kid to learn about electronic music because the controls were laid out to where you could visualize the signal flow. It also came with a great textbook. I learned a lot about sound and analog signal processing as well as had a lot of fun. May Mr. Pearlman rest in peace.

Not sure about your OS, but on Ubuntu and many Linux distributions you can press Ctrl+Shift+PrtScrn to select a region of your screen to screenshot and copy it to your clipboard. I commonly use a workflow of Ctrl+Shift+PrntScrn, select a region, then Ctrl+V to paste the screenshot where I need it - really low friction, and surprisingly many websites support pasting images.

(I suppose other OS's have similar shortcuts as well, so if you use something else, this might be worth Googling for.)

Otherwise, I think Pocket might be exactly scrapbook-collector-type thing you're looking for?
interesting ! Google has strategists of all kinds in place, I wonder if they would make a stupid short term blunder of greed in owning an app over offering a free api for their business customers to compete against the apple juggernaut. The data ownership issue is real; seems to be a tough problem to solve given that not every manufacturer would play ball (why would Samsung want to yield their hard earned ecosystem to upstarts who plan to uproot them?). And also the security implications too, with so many smaller players in the android game (similar to fb issue with letting their other api users have access to user messages).

It does not seem possible for google to solve this problem for a long time, since they seem to rely on ad revenue to invest in their other businesses.

I don’t foresee apple going down any time soon due to that one issue that google has alone.

We don’t, the latest commercial technology consists of disposable sensors that require a probe to penetrate the skin. Whoever brings something non-invasive (and reusable) to market will be raking it in whether they’re apple or not.
That's funny, because mine works flawlessly from the dash which is one reason I love Face ID.
Maybe they should focus on the carbon capture aspects (which are remarkable, bamboo grows fast) and try to work around the other issues

Does bamboo aggregate exists?

Though cellulose to fuel is kinda promising and still something to be cracked (pun intended), maybe it will never work.

My very first raytracer was http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/aspmisc/my-very-first-raytra... and was quite a bit easier than I expected. My second one was a bit under 1K in Clojure: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/raytracer1k.clj or unobfuscated: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/circle.clj

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to compute the pixels, but getting them on the screen was a huge hassle. So I wrote https://gitlab.com/kragen/bubbleos/tree/master/yeso to make it trivial. I haven't ported a raytracer to it yet; I'll do that soon!
It also compels me to pay my bills and be responsible with my money. Such is life.
You can get jobs in tech stacks you don't know. It's harder, but totally possible.

Easiest way: switch teams at current job.

If not: find jobs where otherwise you're a great fit (e.g. domain knowledge). Find companies that are more likely to have learning culture. Emphasize ability to learn quickly.

I always photograph (and sometimes even record video) of the build process of all my sculptures and carvings. They more than anything else help me reflect on my work and avoid the same pitfalls the next time.
Interface-wise we got Fsearch (https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch) on Linux, but it's not feature complete. I love Everything, and I get a bit nostaligic over these simple but feature packed windows apps that are all but living fossils in the .NET and WFP times.

Language that hits the sweet spot between Forth and Lisp might be a good fit for some kids, but its scope is way outside of mere scripting and toying, and demands a respective approach - something that only grown-up engineers can fully appreciate. YMMW.
Wouldn't this need an internet connection to check the authenticity of the certificate ?

How do you make it work if you are working offline, say in a plane ?
The data provided in the first link show that:

1. women are happier every year since ~2010;
2. the gap are closing between women and men reported happiness;
3. we have no data prior to ~2010 so we cannot compare with a situation where women were predominantly housewives (you'd have to go much furhter in the past for the UK I guess).

So I don't see how this could support the theory that working women are less happy than housewives.

The piece from the Guardian I found more interesting if only for the longer time span considered. And it sites the "dual burden" of work + house chores (trial, with childcare) as the source of the decrease (relative to men) of women happiness. which makes sense. Especially the part about Switzerland is enlightening. But what is compered here is present working women vs present housewives. How would compare the average present women to the average women from 60 years ago is still unknown, and it is not beyond imagination that housewives today also benefit from the more equal standing/rights between men and women in the present time.

So, still not convinced that we should go back to a world where women are not expected to work :)
At least, those millennials will be lapping them up.
CodeNext had plenty of non-NIMBY issues. This November we voted in a city council that is majority urbanist/pro-density and voted down the NIMBY Prop J. There is hope.

That's called not being functional. What distinction are you drawing between "functional imperative" and regular imperative languages?

Operant conditioning. Running in the road and getting spanked are both tangible experiences. Being hit by a car is entirely hypothetical until it actually happens. Learning the association "running in the road hurts" or "running in the road makes me sad" requires less much less cognitive development than understanding the hypothetical "if I run in the road then I might get hit by a car, and getting hit by a car will hurt". The latter requires a degree of imagination that many young children have not yet developed.

I'm not saying with any confidence that spanking is necessary in these circumstances, only that it may be justifiable given the risks involved. You need some sort of strong negative stimulus. It's not nice, but neither is being hit by a car.

I expect someone to be virtuous because it's the right thing to do, not because of how many likes it gets them on Twitter.
Ironically these were times when a TON of new products came out. There probably never were more simultaneous Mac models in the market, and there was OpenDoc, CyberDog, Quickdraw GX, QuickDraw 3D, QuickTime VR, HotSauce, Game Sprockets.

The first few years of Steve 2.0 were largely about REDUCING the number of products, and improving the MARKETING. As for the products:

* There was the iMac, which was notable for having FEWER features. Sure there was USB, but everybody was complaining about their ADB and serial peripherals no longer working without dongles, and about the omission of a floppy drive (sound familiar?).

* There was the iBook, which certainly had an iconic look (especially the handle), but not one that had a lasting impact.

* The PowerBooks were nice designs.

* The Power Mac G3/G4 towers with the opening latch and handles were a really good product with a lasting form factor, in my opinion.

* The Power Mac G4 cube was a commercial disaster, doomed, among other things, by bad pricing positioning in a weakening economy (sound familiar?).

* And don't get me started about the hockey puck mouse — the kind of product design that tends to get forgotten in Steve Jobs nostalgia threads.
"Android One" phones are just as bloatware-free and tend to come with OTA updates, though. (And most of them can be OEM unlocked, if you're into that.) There are a few other brands that don't use the "Android One" label but have rather "clean" firmware as well.
Wait, I’m confused... how is a country like China that is known for the most horrific human rights violations be a proponent for technologies like quantum computing and encryption?

This is a great anecdote to describe a formal approach which is called positive discipline.

We assume as adults that children who do things that are not what we want or against our instructions need “discipline” in order to learn they should have made a better choice.

This fails on the most basic point. Young children are, in most cases, not making a conscious choice at all in these cases. They are not thinking in their brains, the same way we adults imagine a conscious decision making process occurs, weighing the concequences and choosing a certain path. They are not deciding to be bad because it is easier/more fun/worth it at that age.

Positive discipline is not actually discipline at all. It is fundamentally a realization that children make “mistakes” because they weren’t actually capable of doing what was asked of them.

The essence of positive discipline is the search for the underlying reason a child is not capable of following your direction at that point in time / for the task at hand.

Barring an exceptional case, (younger in particular) children are straight up desperate for attention and affection of their parents.

Sometimes this is the hardest thing in the world, as a fully functioning adult, when your child is doing something [annoying/destructive/insulting/dangerous/disgusting] after the n-th time you’ve told them not to. Adults respond to punishment / negative reinforcement very differently than [young] children.

In particular keep in mind this is primarily a learning experience for a child to develop coping skills and the ability to regulate their emotions. The skills don’t develop very well from a basis of fear of reprisal in my opinion.

I’m not always able to practice positive discipline with my kids, but I can’t count the number of occasions where I’ve pulled out that tool in response to some stressful situation and watched the sheer relief/release on my kid’s face when they manage to actually communicate outloud to someone that will listen that thing that had them so upset or feeling sad/mad/lousy.
Strong liquor is used to flambe food, so strong drink is definitely flammable in some circumstances. Beer and wine probably aren't.
Partial evaluation of the viable strikes me as a very elegant idea! That way static dispatch just becomes a special case of virtual dispatch. It also reminds me of devirtualization optimization, and tangentially, how Rust does the opposite thing, by making boxed traits implement the traits, too, which makes dynamic dispatch a special case of static dispatch.
We visited Disney parks in Orlando over the holidays. Jammed to the gunwales with people. They definitely have a problem with being a victim of their own success. A major fall is coming.

Apple is no longer run by techies and has thus lost all its real flavor. The Macbook 2015 era was the pinnacle and we're on the down slope for now. The new Mini that costs 899 to get in the door (any thousands for any reasonably decent config) was just a slap in our faces--a giant FU to Mac users on a budget. The Mini I speced out was over $4000. Sorry, Apple, you're fucking dreaming.

The only this Macs have going for them now is that they aren't Windows-based. iOS is meh, always has been.

There needs to be more players in the smartphone space, quite frankly.

Large enterprises need to have a faster research adoption cycle too. They need to do their bit. It’s not all researchers fault.
At least in my org (a very large conventional co ) our DL adoption is hardly beyond transfer learning, using CNNs as feature detectors. We lament lack of labeled data and there is tangible research in few-shot learning and semi-supervised learning to at least get us started. But we still don’t do it.
I do understand that it sometimes hard to conceptualize a product around some advanced in ML, eg GANs or RL, but there are way too many others that we can adopt without killing ourselves.

Enterprises should perhaps have a team / group that tries to fill the gap between research and adoptions.
They didn't 'hide' anything, this was publicly revealed when the launch happened in numerous articles.
I would not call Montessori a fringe ideology, but I would also say it is not very mainstream. A lot of non-Montessori parents reach the same conclusions, Montessori just has it baked into the learning system. As a parent you are kind of all in. We have public (charter) Montessori schools here in CO that are top notch. Anyhow, you are right, and, I would guess, this is new for a lot of American parents. Also, just cause UN says, doesn’t mean other first world nations all buy into it :)

The pre-industrial era didn't have modern diagnostics & healthcare, so why would you expect to see the same ailments or the same desire to have them treated professionally?
Yeah i was a happy zim user but kept hitting the wall that zim is clearly designed for the desktop. While i don't take as many notes on mobile as I do on desktop, i still have the need for mobile notes...and zim fell short. I know there are alternative methods where some folks use zim on their desktop and then for mobile leverage dropbox - both for synching the zim files and using dropbox's text editor (such as it is). but this mode left me wanting more. I really loved zim, but lately i've been using the notes app on self-hosted nextcloud - which is synched to my desktops via nextcloud's sync client. I'm only a few weeks into this experiment, but so far, so good. I think the day that zim moves into territory where it is more easily workable on mobile, is when it will be a top dog for note-taking platforms.
It's always interesting to take a look back on articles like these and see how the opinions / predictions of the author pan out. There has always seemed to be what is in my opinion a largely narrow minded short term oriented negativity directed towards the Google method of moonshots / bets. In hindsight now in 2019, it's clear with signs of growing stagnation on Apple's side and continued successful innovation and growth of Alphabet companies within vastly diverse industries (Verily, Waymo, Malta, etc.) which of the two methodologies was the better choice.

I wonder what the future will hold? Culture seems like the strongest indicator for whether changes can be made. Without the sort of long term vision Jobs had to guide the company from the top down, successful pivoting depends on if internal company culture can support a bottom up revitalization I think.
It didn't take months to ask that question, it took months before the kid could answer it. Children often have trouble explaining such things. Can't find the right words, or lack the self-awareness to understand why they do what they do.
IC stands for integrated circuit, I believe. I don't think the article defined it.

Interesting. I said this about Medium when articles from there began showing up here a couple years ago. I didn't like their politics, but then again, I don't like the politics of most SV companies these days. I can't believe how a new technological frontier got turned into an echo chamber for big government whack job collectivists. We were on our way to something brighter for humanity and then fucking Google and Facebook fucked it all up. Thanks CIA.
The iPad Pro is worth going to play with in person. But the Mac lineup hasn't been in years.
First it was the Air, "Wow, look how small this laptop is. And it's made of aluminum!" Then it became, "Wow! Look at the Retina display! It's amazing!"

Now it's just like, "Why'd they take off the ports on this laptop? It's a weird brown color. And two of the keys don't work, already."
To make it worse, everything is the same. You can't tell anything apart? Is this the Air? Wait, it's the old Pro? Which watch is this? Is this the XR or the XS? What's the difference?
There was a simple reason for the child’s behavior. Unknown to the parents. It will always be a dichotomy because you do not have perfect information as a parent. I don’t think I am saying to train children like animals, yet to use simple cause an effect to better reason about parenting decisions. If your hypothesis is wrong about the behavior your efforts to change it will fail.
