It's not just nvidia, a modern gpu needs a lot of power to run properly and it doesn't work with apple's idea that their laptop can't have noise/heat/be large/need a large powerbox. Even if they went nvidia they would go for what, a 1050 Ti or 1060 at best ? Compared to a "regular brand" laptop at half price it's ridiculously weak.

Personally I "solved" it for my need by having two laptops (I don't have a desktop at home anymore), one is a 15" made for mobility with tons of battery and low weight, the other is frankly more of a "transportable" 17", too heavy to hold it in one hand and lasting less that two hour on battery but with insane power for all my work and gaming need.

Interestingly enough both end up costing almost the same.
I think this is a common misconception based on both the way innovation is perceived and the role it played in years past vs. the current state of the technology market.

1. Apple does innovate. Every year. But doesn't tend to follow fads or new technologies for the sake of newness and those tend to be confused with innovation all the time.

2. As markets saturate and the smartphone becomes an everyday object, the behavior starts to resemble the fashion and accessories industry where brand image, and customer loyalty plays a larger role in purchase decisions. If Louis Vuitton sales 10% less bags YoY in China, nobody thinks it's because they have not innovated enough in handbag technology.

Apple is ok. At least as of now. They are still selling 84 billion $ worth of products on a given quarter.
The crux of the problem is there is no majority opinion, nationwide, for any of the possible options. The 52% voted for something that in reality doesn't meet the expectations of those people.

There are plenty of surveys showing that opinions differ from the original result depending on what the terms of exit are.

You need more complex questions like these:

"Imagine that, at the next general election, the
Conservatives supported going ahead with Brexit,
whilst Labour and the Liberal Democrats
[SCOTLAND:
"and the SNP", WALES: "and Plaid Cymru"]
supported
a public vote on whether or not to go ahead with Brexit.
How would you then vote if there was another general
election"

https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/docume...

Let's go absurd to illustrate how difficult the issue is.

Public vote for A or B.

52% choose A

A third of B accept the result.

It is later revealed that option A will cost you a finger.
One third of A voters are ok with that and say it's worth the cost.
Another third are uneasy and say we should be able to convice provider of A that a finger should not be needed but said provider are unwilling to change their minds having stated from the very begining that this is the price.
The final third are sure that no finger will be collected and in fact the provider will throw in a free finger in the end anyway. And if they don't who cares.

Roughly 1/3 of A voters who still fancy some idealised version of A accept that it's not on the table right now or maybe never so join 2/3s of B voters saying we should decide again in the face of the new information. Because there is still no absolute majority in favour of any one of the real possibilities.

Back to reality:
> "we don't have to listen to referendums we don't like".

It's not that at all. to quote Dave Allen Green:

"A referendum result either is democratic or it is irreversible, but it cannot both. Any democracy should be able to change its mind, at any time. Just as no parliament can bind another, no electorate can bind another."
Woops, sorry about that. I'll make sure it's clearer.

> The fact is that Brexit divisions have settled in in the country, becoming more part of people's political identity than political party.

I wish people wouldn't see Brexit as the ultimate test of British values. It's just a thing that roughly 50% of the country are on different sides of - like milk in tea or marmite on toast. That doesn't mean they fundamentally disagree on every other political issue.

Even if as you suggest we go ahead with Brexit and somehow come out better off, do you think we won't find something else to divide us again? Whether you support Brexit or not says nothing about whether you support immigration rights, free trade and regulation and those political issues say nothing about what your values are as a person.

If this makes little sense to you then try this experiment, find a friend who is opposed to your view on Brexit and then try to find out whether or not they actually share the same fundamental values as you. I'm willing to bet that you have a lot more in common than you think.
According to https://siderea.dreamwidth.org/1237182.html

"In the US, we have a rule: to describe a person as "lower class" is an insult; less obviously, to describe them as "upper class" is as well. To describe something as "lower class" or "upper class" is to denigrate it, and to attribute a "lower class" or "upper class" thing to some one is to denigrate them. It is the designation "middle class", alone, which is virtuous – a fact which explains in a nutshell why, famously, all Americans arrogate the term to themselves."
This is all great. But the real improvement in C++ skills can only come from real work, solving real problems. No amount of time spent on discord/slack, blogs or conference talks can substitute the real work experience. When you learn something from a blog, book or conference talk, you should go home and apply your new knowledge to the problem at hand, realize the pros and cons, understand the trade-offs. Without this work your knowledge is only skin deep.

I can concur with the lack of patience for dealing with other players. I spent entirely too much time with counterstrike, but having a prepubescent kid call me a noob because my skills have atrophied is the last thing i want to do in my spare time.

I've actually gravitated towards single-player, mainly due to time constraints. That is one of the reasons I still love FTL, I can actually do an entire playthrough in one sitting. And the only multi-player game I play is Elite Dangerous, which is boredom personified (and I haven't seen another player in game in over 9 months).

I don't agree with the doom and gloom tone of the article, however. In my experience, there has never been a better time to be a gamer with non-mainstream tastes. Especially if you are on PC, the indie market and kickstarter have revived things like CRPGS.
>there isn't enough natural gas, coal, nuclear, grid-scale battery storage or hydro capacity left to meet all of the demand.

I honestly don't think this will happen. There'll at least be nuclear plants, and if the nukes aren't enough they'll spin up natgas peaker plants.

Yeah, the rebasing complaint isn't fair if you're using a modern VCS.

I used to work on a large team at Cisco Systems that used Clearcase. Clearcase does not do merges. If anything has changed in master, you have to check out again, which obliterates all local changes.

(I have never met a developer who liked Clearcase. It was built to simplify life for system administrators and to tick the right boxes for management, not to be useful for developers.)

My general VCS experience is that you can't roll back a commit without also rolling back all subsequent commits, related or not. I'm glad to hear that modern systems have fixed that. (It looks like even Subversion does that now, cool!)
I am really struggling to enjoy games at the moment, the last memorable ones have been

* Arma 3 because its a sandbox and I can script my own missions etc.

* Doom reboot, purely for the nostalgia

For older games from my childhood like Half Life, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Command and Conquer.
I might dust them out for an hour or two but the novelty goes away quickly, maybe its because of ageing graphics or I don't remember them as I used to.

Another factor is that working on a PC all day makes its less desirable for me to then come home and sit on my home PC and play games.

The reboot situation is interesting as it gives companies a chance to make money out of an old IP and the fanbase can rekindle some of their younger days playing those games.

> they were slaves rising up to their captors

And yet, nothing like this ever happened in the slave-holding U.S. South. Not during the U.S. civil war, not even in the worst depths of post-war "Reconstruction" (or the lack thereof, rather - ironically, true reconstruction in the historical 'South' would only happen as late as the Civil Rights era, creating the present-day "Sun Belt"). So, clearly, ideology had at least something to do with it.

IMHO, that's not "creative destruction," it's more "we had to destroy the village in order to save it." "By any means possible" will inevitably turn into short-term, customer-hostile actions that will erode the value provided by the company to society.

Narrow focus on financial metrics by shareholders sometimes seems to be more of a destroyer of real value than a creator of it.
actually things can and have been caught. Space tethers have been succesful

Indeed, so a choice of words that indicates this was going on in this instance is all the more confusing.
Nuclear plants are retiring at a pretty high rate and natural gas units haven't been peakers in many years. Coal and gas has flipped and now gas is serving base load and coal is at the plant's min or used as a peaker.
What's happening is that it's been too long since they introduced something that was not an incremental upgrade.
Which is why dividends exist. Mature companies may grow less, but they produce profit, which can be distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends.
I suggest reading the ExploringJS books [0]. If you already know ES5 then you can jump to Exploring ES6 [1], then you can work your way through Exploring ES2016 and ES2017, and finally Exploring ES2018 and ES2019. Each book explains what new features that were added to the language as part of that specific version. Don't feel daunted though! ES6 added the largest amount of features, and after that there haven't been nearly as many changes. If you find the book useful please consider buying a copy; I'm not associated with the author in any way, just a big fan of his writings.

Yep, it's definitely a message to Bitcoin insiders, but that's not a bad thing. Sorry to fail your hopes.

> grandiloquent and unsubstantiated statement

Once you've studied money from a critical angle, you start to see that unsound money is the root cause of many of the problems with society and government.

The first ten years of Bitcoin (plus history leading to it) and sound vs unsound money are both huge topics in their own right. Perhaps it would be useful for me to include a little box at the end of each article with links to books and lengthy posts about these topics.
Construct is targeted at professional game development market. It's not comparable with Scratch which targets the creative programming education. Construct is a full closed source proprietary premium payed ecosystem for professional game developers.

On top of that Scratch has an absolutely caring, loving and vibrant community.

On a slightly related and personal note, here are some thoughts: I believe very strongly that population reduction is super essential to the survival of our planet.

But here’s the rub: I can’t bring myself to tell any Fertile Myrtles in my family or even closest circle of friends or even anonymously/facelessly online to say..OctoMom...to stop please having children or go have a pregnancy termination.

I have thought it many times and spoken about it behind their backs, but can’t tell it directly to an actual person. I can write pages and pages about it. Make general statements but I freeze when I am talking to a pregnant woman. I am beginning to wonder if we are evolutionarily hard wired as a species to just be nicer to pregnant women and not upset them. Otherwise, I don’t get it.

Now...I believe that overpopulation will be the single reason why our planet will be snuffed out. Even as I am trying to understand the shortcomings in my communication to convey my strongest convictions, I can’t imagine how someone who believe that ‘children are a blessing’ ...someone who doesn’t grasp the urgency of curtailing population can ever convince anyone to have smaller families. Are we doomed to procreate our way to our ultimate long winded demise? If more creation is to be our seed of destruction, is this an example of Irony?

Sharing is important in this day an age.

If you develop some software that is dependent on Lispworks, how do you share it with others if what you are sharing depends on some Lispworks facility which isn't free?

I also believe that C++ is one of the reasons why some software is not easily shared.

Dynamic languages cannot use toolkits or libraries written in a language that is hard to interface to, Qt5 thats you. In fact I believe this is one of the main issues facing the dynamic languages, that there are no free well-featured cross-platform GUI toolkits they are able to integrate easily with.

There was an article over the weekend about MIT and that 58% of their students receiving financial aid. And how the tuition has gone up over 1000% in the last 20 years. And that MIT is purposly setting the tuition so high because it enables them to be a tax exempt charity based on that 58%.
Point is that it is in the school's best interest to make it unaffordable for most of the students that go there. More loan money is available, so the tuition goes up to keep it unaffordable for most of the students.

PoS is actually more decentralized when PoW. PoW is controlled by a few mining pools but PoS will have tens of thousands or more validators.

In PoW only a few people have the resources to build and run mining farms. Certainly not me. In PoS anyone can stake on a desktop or laptop. This greatly increases the amount of people who can participate in the network.

Generally I agree with this thread of advice, but I’m a little fed up with people constantly asserting or implying that coding is the easy part, and culture is the super hard part.

Get a grip. Coding is a challenge for junior developers. I see nothing constructive in spreading this idea. Not only is it nonsense, it seems to further the stereotype that programmers are all academically smart and socially incompetent.

That reminds me. In our student building there was an intercom on each building, and 7 or 8 students would share each apartment. I noticed that it would quietly dial the internal number for that apartment. Sure enough, dialing 9 with a DTMF tone generator would get an outside line :)

The Anglo-Irish Peace Treaty of 1921 was negotiated between an illegitimate/unrecognized state and the British government. Given such, it's intrinsically invalid, as an entity cannot negotiate on behalf of itself if it doesn't exist, and treaties can't be made with it as there's no partner to sign the treaty with.

As such, the whole of Ireland is still part of the UK, but the majority of it is occupied by EU forces. As part of peace negotiations, the EU and the UK should negotiate reasonable boundaries, such that Ireland, Scotland, and Greater London remain part of the EU, and the rest can form a rump UK Independent State.
