I dont think thats quite the same thing as an Identity Service, its just a component. In Microsoft's world im either using my Microsoft Account to sign in OR using throwaway email addresses, not both.

.

Apple can get way ahead of the competition by combining about 3 things.

1) Ephemeral email addresses

2) OAuth or apples equivalent tokens

3) Keychain autogenerate and auto-populate

If all those products are integrated correctly, this becomes the SINGLE sign on of single sign ons. If a service supports Apple OAuth, your name is hidden, and you only have one Apple password to remember. If the service doesnt support Apple Tokens, then apple fills in a private email address and a random password, and abstracts away the fact that the service doesnt support Apple Tokens. The user experience is nearly the same regardless. Tokens and randomly generated passwords should be managed from the same interface, allowing you to either revoke access (token) or cycle the key (both.)

I've felt it for a while, but the banking industry needs to arrive at something similar. Chase, BoA, WF, and Citi should turn Zelle into a banking OAuth Identity Service.
How did you manage this? I currently work 80%, but I don't see a super-viable pathway to go down to 60%. You work three days a week or what? (Mostly four days a week in my case, with some additional days taken as holiday).
>There's an unspoken dogma that without a $1000 phone and pricey Mac, you can't be a creator.

You just made me realize an interesting cultural shift. I distinctly recall how an old 386 or 486 wasn't good enough to run the cool games anymore. But it was good enough for QBASIC and turbo pascal. So I spent time tinkering on that system.
Bit of bait-and-switch here: thought I was learning about a new programming language when it's more a pitch for books about making programming languages. Creative advertising on the part of the author though!
There's actually a little bit at the end of the store page that mentions how developers can put it into portrait mode to see more code.

The thought of some dev buying this thing just to stare at xcode all day is kinda hilarious.
> 3D modelers want NVIDIA cards, not Radeon, as NVIDIA supports CUDA

What do 3D modelers use CUDA for? I know it gets used for machine learning, but I'm not familiar with what else.
For an interesting roshambo variant take a look at: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/animal_world_2018 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiji_(manga)
Indeed. These products need no R&D really and I consider VC funding them a variant scam, except with private funds.

However, try to VC say a factory manufacturing metal parts or plastics, nobody will say yes...

Heck, try making actual cars or even golf carts on VC money.
VC funders are either interested in something completely not speculative and small (eg. EU VC scene) or total moonshots in badly understood markets where no actual R&D is required.

If the thing is very speculative research, most VC aren't interested.

I think your analysis is spot on. Regarding that last part, I would add another disturbing argument. Some things are definitely easier to get, but the things that matter the most such as strong relationships or a sense of being useful and valued in a community are arguably harder to come by. Modern games and porn mimic having access to these needs and draw people in but fail to provide real satisfaction so the individual ends up like a moth on the lightbulb that burns it. You are under the illusion that your life is going well while at the same time you can sense that it isn't.
There will come a point in every ones life where that career just becomes a job. Some folks are lucky and walk away with millions, some folks have to keep going and grind it out.

There are options to consider. Take the Scott Adams approach he wrote about in his Dilbert books. He used his time at a job he hated to pursue his own endeavor. Went through a very funny explanation about how his employer was supplying his office space, phone, computer, stationary supplies and the rest of it to run his own business, all for free. Have you considered finding a hobby or starting a side project you can pursue while at work? It may help make your job more tolerable.

But if it's the actual work itself you don't like, why not train in something more interesting? Perhaps a network admin, security specialist, AWS Guru, etc. Plenty of certs and paths you can take to get out of your current Hell.

Whatever you do, don't quit until you have a solid option. Nothing like making a rainy day for yourself.

Hope you find your way....

This is neat. But I'd have thought the lower-hanging fruit anti-spam wise for Apple would've been to add a "mark as spam" button next to push notifications so users can start reporting all the apps that abuse push notifications to send them advertisements.
You might be misunderstanding what the poster was talking about -- it's not that you'll need an Apple ID to sign up for a site, it's that once you sign up with an Apple ID, you might not have a way to link your account to a different email address. That effectively means that you'd need to recreate your account when you move away from Apple.

Of course, the other side of that is that sites are probably going to have ways to link accounts, and it likely won't be a huge deal. They certainly have no motivation to help Apple with lock in. It's not going to be any different from the process that exists today for moving associating an email with an account you created through Google/Github signin.

Still, it would be nice to have a way to use this without an iPhone, or it will be a (small) extra piece of friction you just have to deal before moving ecosystems, rather than piecemeal after getting a new phone.

Also note that the same exact concerns exist with Google/Facebook sign in, it's just that they aren't tied to a physical device so you only need to worry about losing them if you're making a conscious decision to delete your account.
MacBooks are selling well and it is their gateway model so crucial for the overall ecosystem.

Far more likely is that you see a MacBook with ARM CPU.
I do get it, but my question remains: what does Apple suggest that I, a developer/prosumer, buy? Something without an Apple logo on it?

The problem in Assange's case is that it is very hard to separate the charges being brought against him from the fact that he did something that is almost certainly legal but which the U.S. government would like very much to punish him for. The fact of the matter is that you can make someone's life miserable by bringing trumped-up charges against them, and this is especially easy to do if you're a powerful person. And if you're powerful enough then you can most likely do this with impunity. The possibility that this is happening to Assange needs to be taken very seriously.

So no, there is no overt indication that Assange is being treated any differently from any other accused rapist. But anyone who is content to leave it at that has blinders on.
Azure is like the 2nd biggest cloud. Underdog...I think not.

I mentioned them mostly since it seems odd excluding them more than specific actions they took.

Google is going to get wrecked on anti-trust somewhere though that's for sure. My money is on mobile or browser.
Unfortunately for reasons that remain murky Nvidia still hasn’t put drivers out for Mojave and their absence from the keynote leads me to believe they won’t have drivers for Catalina. Nvidia blames Apple saying they’re not approving drivers. So yes you can slap a 2080ti in your Mac Pro but without drivers it’s useless.
Not that I know of. A lot of financial market conventions and practices are not very well documented, or not easily obtained at any rate. For example, a lot of terms and conventions pertaining to interest rate swaps are available in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (and equivalents for equity, FX, credit, etc.), but they're not available online legally AFAIK (though you might find them).

It contains gems such as this:

> Section 4.11. FRN Convention; Eurodollar Convention. “FRN Convention” or “Eurodollar Convention” means, in respect of either Payment Dates or Period End Dates for a Swap Transaction and a party, that the Payment Dates or Period End Dates of that party will be each day during the Term of the Swap Transaction that numerically corresponds to the preceding applicable Payment Date or Period End Date, as the case may be, of that party in the calendar month that is the specified number of months after the month in which the preceding applicable Payment Date or Period End Date occurred (or, in the case of the first applicable Payment Date or the Period End Date, the day that numerically corresponds to the Effective Date in the calendar month that is the specified number of months after the month in which the Effective Date occurred), except that (a) if there is not any such numerically corresponding day in the calendar month in which a Payment Date or Period End Date, as the case may be, of that party should occur, then the Payment Date or Period End Date will be the last day that is a Business Day in that month, (b) if a Payment Date or Period End Date, as the case may be, of the party would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then the Payment Date or Period End Date will be the first following day that is a Business Day unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Payment Date or Period End Date will be the first preceding day that is a Business Day and (c) if the preceding applicable Payment Date or Period End Date, as the case may be, of that party occurred on the last day in a calendar month that was a Business Day, then all subsequent applicable Payment Dates or Period End Dates, as the case may be, of that party prior to the Termination Date will be the last day that is a Business Day in the month that is the specified number of months after the month in which the preceding applicable Payment Date or Period End Date occurred.
Yes, I agree with that. But it is a problem we created ourselves because of our love for car culture, not that helmets should be mandatory in other more sane countries. There aren't a lot of brain injuries in the Netherlands from bike accidents, so there is no demand for them.

China really isn't on the list of sane places, but traffic is slow enough that helmets might not matter much anyways. My point about china was more about dangerous electric bicyclists zooming on the sidewalk and almost hitting you.

> People just want an affordable desktop that you can easily expand over time.

Who wants that? You can tell what people want based on what’s selling in the market. Most people want a laptop. Most of the rest want a Word/Excel machine. A small minority want an expandable desktop.
Gingerbread, Android 2.3, was released December 2010 for phones.

Honeycomb, Android 3.0, was released Feb 2011 for tablets. It was a radical new UI and introduced several new APIs. It was the largest Android update ever, except that no devices were updated to it. Android tablets didn't sell very well and developers had little to no reason to support Honeycomb.

Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0, October 2011. This refined the Honeycomb changes and was appropriate for use on phones. It did work on tablets but wasn't really optimized for them until 4.1/jellybean.

Honeycomb wasn't a fork or anything, but the strong divergence and poor sales of Android tablets meant that no one wanted to target Honeycomb until they were actually targeting Ice Cream Sandwich, and then at that point it was barely worth supporting Honeycomb tablets, but still work supporting Gingerbread phones.

I don't think it's particular relevant to the iPadOS situation.

Option one is posted on the signage in my local lanes. I'm not sure that it would be illegal anywhere (or enforced if it is).

And sure you might be in front of cars trying to turn right, but the right on red turn being blocked happens all the time via cars just going straight or left. Usually right on red is prohibited for streets that cross the bike lane road as well.

I don't think it would be surprising given you angle your bike to the direction of your travel (and going left takes you where you came from, going right takes you where you were heading to begin with, so where else are you logically going to go?), and light cycles are short enough where this isn't going to add a significant time compared with merging multiple lanes in traffic or waiting for a yield left (way more dangerous imo with people constantly running yellow lights).
This is a professional machine. No one wants to buy it and use hacky work-arounds, they want good drivers. Which aren't an option with nvidia on macos.
Am immediately suspicious that you may travelled here from a very long way away in order to steal all the donuts.
Apple has a set of guidelines for public comments: they don’t restrict employees from commenting publicly entirely, but there are quite a few things they can talk about (such as products that just launched…)

Maybe it's NVIDIA blocking the way? If Linus is correct, then they are not a nice company to work with.

Why do you think that it's not user expandable? Surely you can just put a PCIe SSD card in the new Mac Pro and use that for storage?

Nasa Image and Video Library is now open and free
Yep. For me personally, it's a reassuring signal that Apple is doubling down on macOS and professionals, and gives me hope that next year's MacBook Pro redesign won't be a disappointment.
So AMD licenses their RDNA stuff and Samsung pays royalties and licensing fees. Looks pretty run of the mill.
Apple produced the best $6,000 display you can buy. When the majority of pro users wanted the best $1,500 display you can make. We want an iMac without all the computer part. And they delivered a real 'pro' display.

Maybe this is a big middle finger up to all those asking for Apple's pro line up to be more 'pro'.
Triangles aren't the only forms used to build space frames. There are lots of geometries that can be used.

In what possible way would Chrome make money as a standalone company without utterly alienating its userbase?

Chrome is subsidized by the rest of Google.
I wish they'd just bring back a "Macintosh," non-pro, non-book... Standard itx/matx/atx size with a nice looking case and upper-middle parts in it for something resembling an upper-middle price ($1500-3000 for desktop).
> This is a challenge with the iOS (and Android) UIs, I think. Mice and trackpads have a more obvious and somewhat richer set of "verbs" for interaction

GTK+3 has a good approach there, I think. It turns the window titlebar into a thick "header bar", which includes a "title" part for easy grabbing as well as a handful of button-accessible menus (fewer than the top levels in a traditional menubar), including a kitchen-sink "hamburger menu" for lesser-used options. It becomes a bit less convenient for mouse&keyboard use, but the touch usability is absolutely there. Too bad that running Linux on tablet-like computers is still way too fiddly, it could be a fierce competitor to the iPad ecosystem for more pro tasks.

Added: And on recent GTK+3 releases, one can shrink the window horizontally and the buttons will simply shift to the bottom when there's not enough room for them in the top headerbar. This solves a flexibility issue with the previous headerbar-only approach (especially on smaller or lower-res screens), while still being quite intuitive.
Unless you're carrying a pager, as an engineer you don't really need to think about work when you're off the clock. Culturally this tends to happen a lot, but it's not mandatory.

Man am I tired of hearing "the US is too big, too different, too whatever" when it comes to social policies. Social policies don't have to be implemented at a federal level.

SF is doing it wrong? Fine. No one has to do things like SF. But there's no reason not to try a Finnish policy at a city, county or state level if it'd been demonstrated to work.
Well the hackintosh crowd has to be excited because a Pro hardware refresh adds new hardware kexts!

Are you arguing that the water infrastructure should be privately owned? It's both a natural monopoly and one of the most necessary things for life, and is relatively price inelastic (up to the point of bottled water becoming cheaper), which means gouging when someone profit-motivated gets at the helm.

"Or at least criticise them heavily"
>I know being expandable is important here but I am stunned by the fact that an iMac Pro actually comes with better SSD and Video Card for less money and you get a screen to boot!

I'm guessing it's just price discrimination. People who are in the market for a Mac Pro (or rather, their employers) are probably not price sensitive.
Here's to hoping. Maybe I can finally get my nvidia card working on my hackintosh laptop.
Apple ID as SSO, iMessage Profile, Memoji, and Apple Pay. Apple is near FB Messenger parity, now that it functions as an account for external services. It's an extremely strong move on Apple's part, especially considering how close to it they have been for a while. They sure like taking their time sometimes.
Yes, 580X is old (it's the same hardware as RX 480 from 2016) In fact, everything in that machine is old: the Xeons they use are rocking the Skylake core form 2015, with all of the recently discovered side-channel vulnerabilities.

The upcoming AMD Threadripper 3 CPUs with PCIe4 would be a much better Pro offering. Clock-for-clock they are beating Skylake now, rumored to have up to 64 cores. Also, PCIe4-based RAID 0 arrays are pushing 15GB/sec transfer speeds IIRC.
I've heard that CUDA can help decrease render times on Adobe Premiere Pro and several other programs. I'm guessing that includes 3D modeling software like Fusion 360 or something to help with various molding and simulation features.
This is the one aspect that was truly ridiculous. When that number was quoted you could hear the crowd pause in disbelief, followed by a rumble of conversation interspersed with laughter.

From The Verge:

> Still, all hope isn’t lost: we also don’t know how robust the box that the Pro Display XDR comes in is. It’s entirely plausible that you’ll just be able to prop up the $5,999 display with a hunk of cardboard or by leaning it up against a wall. Just be careful not to drop it.
Weird. As a developer I haven't found Apple to be thumbing their nose at me.

Many of their features are genuinely useful for my development e.g. TouchBar.
Back before cars, when, if you didn't live in a very dense metropolis, your commute to work was almost certainly done using an open-air conveyance such as horses or feet or donkey carts?

Yeah, I can't imagine many people would choose a 45 minute each way commute. Not unless they lived in some magical place where temperatures never drop below 15 degrees and rain only falls on weekends.
Magnetic drives perhaps not, but I was mostly thinking of SSDs. But indeed, if you can use some of the PCIe slots for storage, it would probably be ok. Still a too large gap between the Mini and the Pro.
Disclaimer: I am German.

I absolutely hate driving on the Autobahn in Germany. The pure stress and the amount of assholes you encounter is absolutely astonishing.

I have driven cars before in other countries, including the “chaotic” Italy and the US, and it was always a more pleasant experience.
Taiwan is a critical democratic ally off the coast of communist China - why would US intelligence agencies attack the public perception of the sovereignty of the nation?
I’d argue this is good for users, because vendor-supplied drivers always seem to have crappy updater software running at all times and send pop-ups at all hours on Windows. Vendors really need to better support open-source drivers for user experience purposes, but they don’t because they want more control over their market.
Pure speculation: Yes, but the required dongle will cost 999$.
