There is also no point on the front page that it is paid, and I would assume that because there is no mention of pricing that it would be free. I'd definitely put something very early on stating pricing and that it is not a free program. To tell someone 35% through a lesson that they are expected to pay may be fine for conversion, it's a really scummy practice.
I've got a tex yoda 2 which has one. Not available any more, but see https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tex-yoda-ii-mechanical-key...
One thing this article misses is Apple's strong 1 Billion+ installed base. Here is the thing: It is hard to make more money from a few million (and declining YoY) new devices that Apple sells every year. But Apple can make more and more money from every Apple ID currently active. This is a big change in their business model I agree but it just makes sense.
A good album can also provide hundreds of hours of entertainment for $10.

However, not all games, music, or video provide 100s of hours of entertainment so I'm not sure I understand your generalization.
I'm pro-Brexit and pro-Scottish independence, it doesn't seem to me like many Brexiters care at all what Scotland does.
Learn Rust. I'm serious.

The Rust compiler will teach you concepts you need to understand to be an effective C++ developer, like moves versus copies, working with type variables, working with smart pointers, etc.

You could learn these things in C++, but it will be much harder. The Rust compiler error messages are much nicer, and certain features like type variables are at a higher level of integration than equivalent features in C++ like templates. The borrow checker will also teach you how to write hygienic C++ which is something that will take you years to master on your own.

Lastly, Rust's tooling will keep you focused on learning the language rather than fiddling with C++ build systems.
No, definitely not. I took that example to provide you a real life example of software which cannot be "fixed in production" what is very known type of fixing code these days. If you do understand the problem you really can bring that quality of code which does not need any bugfix during it's run-time. As I written in second sentence: almost nobody wants from you providing that quality of code starting at day one.

The legend "Chang'e flies to the moon" (嫦娥奔月) lies behind the Mid-Autumn Festival (featuring mooncakes, as it were). Point is, the names of Chinese space missions are every bit as carefully steeped in tradition as, say, Mercury/Gemini/Apollo.

The People's Republic of China doesn't think of itself as a "Nation State." Instead, it thinks of itself as a "civilization state." A part of PRC's self appointed charge is to prevent the marginalization of Chinese civilization.

When I was working in Houston, it was a regular occurrence for me to meet yet another Chinese born employee of whatever corporation I was in, who would soon after ask me if I could read Chinese characters, then say it was a "shame" I couldn't. I'm not even Chinese, so I find this a bit parochial. I'm aware of the importance of Chinese characters in the culture of East Asia, but still, there's something a bit too self important about it.

Now, many years later, I'm married to a Chinese woman. Even she gives me this guff! It's like they're trying to match the attitude level of the French.

I'd say Bed Bath and Beyond, Macy's, or Target have similar quality off the top of my head, Amazon isn't the only game in town.

Wall Street’s Big Landlords Are So Hungry for Houses They’re Building Them
$60k after taxes is what, $48k take home? After rent, gas, groceries, insurance, a car payment, what’s left? You certainly shouldn’t be shopping at any of those stores on that salary.

Sure, I acknowledged the "most countries" aspect specifically to avoid these comparisons and focus on the content. I wonder, in current times, if the policies remain more for security or economic reasons. Regardless, my comment is less about that these laws exist and more about lack of country-level sovereignty for those that disagree (regardless of how you consider the EU) and whether it can also be beneficial to the UK to be free of such a law.
Has Apple really done much on high TPD chips? The only ones we've really seen them make are low power draw mobile chips for their phones. The rest they just use Intel chips for all their laptops and even the iMac.

I don't really see them doing it because it's not somewhere they can really get away with their usual "we control the whole stack and you can only run our software on our hardware (legally)" mess they pull with macOS.
> Yes they do, and yes it does.

Supporting brexit simply means you do not want the UK to be in the EU. It doesn't mean that you don't support any of the EU's policies. You might prefer more immigration from non-EU countries for example but still support Brexit. Similarly, you might think that the regulation that we get from the EU is a good thing - you just don't agree with the system of governance that the EU is built on.

> More specifically to the matter at hand, how does your vote on an issue directly related to immigration, trade, and regulation have nothing to do with those issues

Your vote on those issues of course does reflect your views on those issues. I am referring to values beyond those we are argue about in politics such as a value of fairness, justice, community, family etc. I.e there is a vast swathe of issues on which most people in society actually agree - violence is bad, dishonesty is bad, crime is probably bad etc but that large proportion of values are never shared because they are obvious. I want to bring them up because otherwise it's all to easy to project opposing values on all possible spectra onto those on which we disagree with only a few small issues.
The Big Cryptocurrency Separation of 2019
Agreed, it has been like this for a long time for movies though. That's obvious when you find some types of movies really boring if you reduce the sound / have a way to equalize it so that there can't be any spike of louder background music.

For TV shows I don't think I'm as bothered as you, since like movies, the goal is to be entertaining. But I agree that in recent documentaries it's very obnoxious, in the end those looks more like entertainment posing as documentary. It's hard to find good quality documentaries on platforms like Netflix/Hulu/etc
It rains and snows in much of the rest of the world.

Yes, I live in the rest of the world and my family has been affected by fatal collisions brought on by adverse weather.
I remain skeptical that self driving cars will be able to handle all of these things. I do think they'll be okay for mundane driving where the biggest risk is driver distractions, however.

I would like to see cars and maybe even roads made smarter in order to make driving safer. If all the cars on the road were part of a wireless network and they could signal to one another when they're braking or turning, then other vehicles could respond more quickly.

Heck, these systems could even be included in phones and pedestrian crossings so that cars could be signalled instantly when a pedestrian steps into the road in order to cross.
Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing
In the 1970s (early 80s? my memory is not good) calls sometimes went via satellite in geosynchronous orbit. Those had a lot of latency and didn't last long for that reason. ISS in low earth orbit shouldn't have much latency so long as they have a connection back down to the ground that doesn't involve other satellites.
Thats not super suprising. I still recall my Samsung i997 if I recall correctly, from 2010. It made better looking, more vivid crisp and detailed photos than newest iPhone X does today. And got very decent photos with limited natural light. All iPhones gave up immediately the moment you dim or turn the lights off.
Good point, very true. The issue I struggle with is discipline - if I have any way to access the funds, I will end up spending them, doesn't matter how many accounts I have to transfer through. Hence why I went with the pre-pay rent route - it's technically already "spent" and I can't simply take it back or acccess if after that. The goal is to recalibrate my spending habits after paying double rent for some time, and then begin to reallocate that monthly budget to better investments as you have mentioned.
Not in the UK, where in fact snap general elections are a thing, and Theresa May called one in 2017. In the absence of a snap election or no-confidence vote the election cycle in the UK takes place every five years. The point being that elections can be monstrously frequent under the right conditions in the UK.
Are you sure that ideology was the single only difference between Haiti and the US South?

In fact, the two were very different; Haiti was a slave colony far away from the mainland, unlike the Southern US. Even in Virginia, the state with the most slaves in 1800, they were never even 50% of the population. In Haiti, slaves outnumbered whites 10:1. And that mainland was turned into itself, and unable to provide decent governance or even military forces to keep them in line.

The massacre came about after the Haitian revolution, when ex-slaves took control. This never happened, and could never happen, in the US.
During the Obama administration it became legal to assassinate US citizens without trial as long as they are presumed "terrorists" and aren't currently on US soil. It was a deeply flawed presidency that deserves much more critique than it has ever received.

You are incorrect. There are plenty of people who get their lives together after long periods of “fucking up.”

Save yourself a lot of headache by abandoning your delusion that “a fuck-up will always be a fuck-up.”
Agreed, they basically need to reverse direction:

1. Remove the touchbar
2. Bring back magsafe

You're right about the screen bezels but I think it being a touchscreen is more important than OLED. That's basically standard on other laptops now.

What "security vulnerability" are you talking about?

None of React's recent releases have had anything to do with security vulnerabilities. And, as I described in my other comment, the changes were in React-Redux, not React, and the changes that broke other libraries were not considered part of our public API.
we are in the top 15% I think? which I guess puts us in the upper middle class ? We aren't 'high income', for sure, we make a bit south of $130,000 / year jointly.
Of course they focused on the iPhone. As a corporation you can't blame them, focusing on that market led to them becoming the most profitable company in the history of capitalism on the planet Earth, to say that a publicly traded company should not have done that is basically economically insane (or at best naive). It is problematic, however, because in many ways the earning of massive profits was almost too easy, and that's led to a significant degree of laziness in the industry. Worse, the combination of massive profits and consolidation means that there are lots of plenty viable markets and customers who aren't being well served at present. Because the talent and capability to do so is locked up in these megacorps who can't be bothered to pay attention because they are drowning in money from the mobile devices business. There is a similar problem at google where the vast majority of the company's revenue comes in from search ads, rendering everything else the company does (even if it's important, even if it represents the foundation of a multi-billion dollar business) basically "for funsies" in comparison.
Because reading the comment thread, it's utterly antithetical to loot boxes. One is cosmetic and the other is functional.
The effect is really cool -- I've seen these in person.

It's like a really well-done, high-resolution take on those lenticular plastic 3D images. It does look truly volumetric as long as you're kind of roughly in front of it. But if you go too far off to the side the effect breaks down a bit.

Inexpensive 3D displays that don't require eye-tracking a la the Nintendo 3DS would be quite a nifty development.
A third perspective that I’ve read from someone who claimed to live near one of these implementations was that the music was so loud, it didn’t matter what it was. No one wanted to stand around such an obnoxious noise source.
>these adverse weather conditions can lead to large numbers of collisions at the same time.

Cars sliding out of control on a snowy road is not a systemic failure.

If you have an entire fleet of self-driving cars using the same (or similar) technology, the exact same condition could cause all of them to misbehave in the exact the same way. This could happen simultaneously with a large number of cars. Or could be something that propagates in a cascading manner. (A car breaks, turns and spins out of control. The next car detects that, breaks, turns and spins out of control, etc.)

If you have no clear idea how your driving software works, how are you going to make sure this doesn't happen?

People have common sense, variability and adaptive learning to prevent things like that. Moreover, our traffic system, our cars and our driver education have been co-evolving prioritizing safety for the last 100 years. (Heck, some of it started with horses and carriages.) The complexity and size of the system have been gradually scaled up for just as long, and it was designed and refined to be used by humans.

It's astounding how many of AI enthusiasts fail to see these issues and differences. Traffic system isn't a board game.
That's a bit like the chicken and the egg problem though: did they project the iPhone sales correctly because they were aware of the high price? And couldn't they have reduced it a bit and project bigger sales numbers?

Fortunately a pet is not a basic necessity.
It's hard for me to believe that's the only reason. Apple has historically been VERY stubborn about reducing prices.
All the talented devs I have seen:

- They had no kids

Or with 1-2 kids:

- They were old (45+) and had worked as Developer for so long that they became very good at it.

ONLY 1 guy with 2 kids in mid-30s I know is pretty good.

tl;dr - perhaps there is a co-relation between kids and brain cells of a Software Developer.

..I have kids myself...
...or Ireland, or NI, or Gibraltar, or indeed anyone at all (Wa...who?). IDGI, but whatever, that's apparently an English problem now.
That trend will reverse in a decade or so. The losses are entirely because of a fed-up Black population deciding to migrate to the sunbelt instead of continuing to tolerate de facto segregation.

This kind of thing is why people say the dems and repubs are the same party with two coats of paint.

Before 2008 there were a lot of issues the mainstream left were vocal about. 8 years of Obama and only a select few even got lip service. Now neither the democrats nor any vocal factions of the left seem to care about them.

I notice this most on youtube videos, there seems like a large group of editors that can't deal with having a moment of silence during the video.
They specifically compared games to movies. If we're talking about theaters, then no individual purchase will ever provide hundreds of hours of entertainment. Even if we are talking about blu-ray/dvd/digital download, very few people are going to ever get hundreds of hours of entertainment out of any single movie.

> A good album can also provide hundreds of hours of entertainment for $10.

Passive/supplemental entertainment maybe. Outside of a very small percentage of serious audiophiles, I don't know anyone listening to 1 album for hundreds of hours other than as background noise.
>I find it odd that being a big in a large market that isn't growing (like the mobile phone market) is seen as a problem. Why does the company need to grow if it's profitable as it is?

It's anything but odd. That's the basis of how the stock market works. If Stock XYZ is big in a large, not-growing market, and trades at $50 per share... why would the stock price ever appreciate?
The loot box model was tried with the new Star Wars Battlefront II, and it had an amazing amount of pushback, to the extent the developer gave up on the model in the game. It seems these days the most successful monetization model is in-game purchases, particularly for skins and whatnot, a la Fortnite.

We can solve the peer validation issue by ceasing to create it in the first place.

In the model of human development I and my peers were taught in public school in America, humans start out life as “parent-oriented” people. Then when we go to school we become “peer-oriented.” I was taught that the transition from “parent orientation” to “peer orientation” is natural, inevitable, and healthy — but it’s none of those things. In fact, transitioning to a peer orientation has ill effects on many people, including this dude Daniel.

Being peer-oriented rather than parent-oriented is obviously unhealthy: just look at Daniel’s plight for proof of this obvious fact. But we teach that peer orientation is THE ONE AND ONLY healthy path to adulthood. We need to change what we teach. Daniel clearly yearned to connect with surrogate parent figures like this dude Joel, but the system was set up to keep him oriented towards his peers rather than parents or surrogate parent figures.

No wonder Daniel suffered the consequences of peer-orientation when the entire school system is set up to make him oriented towards his peers.

Daniel is a casualty of the system. His “faults” were created and managed by the system itself. Daniel is the victim here and blaming the victim is not a good look.
I agree, but I'm using the term in a way that resonates with the popular use of the word in modern American politics. The point might be lost if I instead used the more precise phrase "authoritarian, status-quo preserving".
In Apple's glory years and resulting growth, their os and hardware were the epicenter of your personal computing. today thin client laptops and smartphones connect online, which is now your personal computing epicenter. It's hard to see how Apple can innovate new devices and OS's to achieve massive growth again in the era of cheap chromebooks

Me and my buddy have this same issue -- as we only get to play infrequently as we are busy. "Oh this one requires an expansion." "Oh this one needs a 30 gb update."

Eventually we just say fuck it and go back to counterstrike :)
The OLED screen is much easier on my eyes. I often read in almost full darkness and that helps a lot as well. Battery life is very good. The device is insanely fast for anything I do (although that's likely true for older models as well). The smaller form factor and bigger display are something you can't understand the appeal of until you experience it.

It's a solid 3-5 years investment especially if you use it a lot -- like I do.
I think in his comment he is making a clear difference between "the right" and "conservative", which is a related, but not entirely identical, term.

“Moore’s cliff”?

iPhone processors (unlike Macs) are still getting much faster every update. You can debate whether that extra speed is actually useful in everyday life, but they are getting faster.
"I wonder if we'll get to the point where hardly anything is a native app and the concept doesn't matter much anymore? The host OS just exists to run guest OSes."

This already happens in server infrastructure where the host OS just exists to run the guest OSes(VMs) and now, lately, the host OS just exists to run guest containers.
I would assume so, though they could also be neutral.
