I don't know how affordable the hardware would be for a hobbyist, but this would be so awesome for a kid. Ten little autonomous metal insects, roving around on the floor. The programming side has a lot of visually-intuitive aspects, such as pathfinding; show a child a graphical display of a robot's pathfinding algorithm and they will just "get it." And how cool would it sound to have all those little motors alive in the classroom? You could parlay it into a discussion about drones (one of your passions), and show them clips from e.g. the Superbowl, where coordinated drones with LEDs created an animated backdrop for the performance.

For bonus points, you could use genetic programming to evolve some kind of group behavior, then execute the variously-successful generations, and show them how the most evolved algorithms seem the most alive.
They may not rent in the cloud, but I guess I'm surprised they aren't using machines or servers running in a data center with a high performance display protocol to view the output
> A fair justice system does not convict all those who are guilty. It ensures that the innocent are not convicted.

A fair justice system does both. But fairness is unattainable, so one has to decide which failures are more desirable—the preference you suggest is both common and one I agree with, but it is not fairness but instead a preference for dealing with fairness being impractical.

This is a huge move. Apple striking at the core of Facebook's play to own your identity, which they had with Facebook Connect but have completely fudged out with countless breaches of user privacy and trust. I used to be the biggest fanboy of facebook connect, but now I have to say: Go Apple.

Good question, and I don't know. There are some tools like Final Cut that won't work on Windows but most creative pro tools are cross platform.

I didn't make it clear in my post above, but I was speculating. I definitely don't need macOS for anything. The only reason I have a MBP is for Capture One which won't run on Linux.

That’d be standard swift type inference. The .color function takes a single unnammed parameter of type Color (or similar, idk exactly). Color.gray is a static constant value. So .color(Color.gray) can be simplified to .color(.gray)
Probably worried too many apps would assume you have a mouse, so touch support would suffer from mixed-paradigm induced jank. See: the Surface. I wish they'd enable them only for remote desktop apps, though. Then I could sell my Macbook, get a Mac Mini, and remote in when I want to do desktop stuff.
Pro users subsidise the free ones, unfortunately. Assuming a 1% conversion rate to pay server costs and 1-2 devs full time at 4 usd/pro user/month you need 2500 pro users, which is 250,000 users.

That and people pay 4 bucks for a coke these days so it’s not really much. Also cPanel is most definitely an expert tool.

I might make it paid only soon and reduce the price but at present there’s not much option to get real feedback and user traction.
Prosumers will get more than enough power from an iMac Pro or MacBook Pro.

Not sure why you want the Mac Pro to be dumbed down for non-professionals.

Wait what? So we need to fight (i.e. censor) disinformation because if we don't oppressive governments will use disinformation as an excuse for censorship?

Tech Stack: Lever uses our own open source MVC framework called Derby that syncs all data via Operational Transformation (the algorithm behind Google Docs). OT is the way we handle concurrency conflicts for any piece of data that is edited at the same time. In addition to real-time sync, OT allows us to provide a smoother UI since we can render updates on the client instantly without waiting for our backend to respond, while still guaranteeing consistency.

Lever makes extensive use of AWS, Docker, Node, Mongo, ElasticSearch, and Redis within our infrastructure. We use tools like Hubot to streamline deployments and Grafana to see what’s going on under the hood. In addition to automating all the things, we love to version them too! Our systems are all created using Terraform and Chef, working together to ensure consistency at all costs.

The legal issues are obviously regional based, but most of them would be universal.

Off the top of my head.

* Ensure that your workplace is a physically safe place. ie enough lighting, correct furnishing etc.

* The data you are working with is protected adequately. ie A separate room with lockable door and window.

* The infrastructure is adequate. ie internet, electricity, water and toileting.

* Insurable if something goes wrong.

* How your work time is measured. This is particular important if your industry is covered by union rules.
I have been waiting to buy a monitor for a while and knew apple was up to something. It looks like Apple totally nailed it but this is way too expensive.
This is something solvable by the service provider. Services can allow you to sign up with Apple, but hopefully they also allow you to link other social accounts and/or set up a password for login without IDP.
Most will have ads.
It doesn't just make me sad, it enrages me. I did everything I was "supposed" to and still lost. I usually avoid making any political statements because it just causes fights and solves nothing, but its just wrong how we treat each other. My life is really miserable through no fault of my own and I am on the verge of losing it entirely. I am terrified of ending up on the streets, would not survive it, and never imagined it possible before. Living in the US Midwest I hear constantly how people in need are leeches and lazy and should just "work harder" etc. A major part of my hopelessness is the cultural norm and beliefs of the people I have to be around, and I have to be around them because I cannot manage to be anywhere else after my life was stolen. Some people are born empathetic, but culture has such a strong effect on how people view others than in many cases even when they suffer themselves they still cannot see the reality and continue to victim blame and rationalize. I hate the egos and excuses that come out every time the topic comes up. I hate how there aren't basic social protections like the rest of the first world has...housing, healthcare, humane things. I am tired of all of it and have failed to get anywhere better for me permanently because of the same reasons that put me here in the first place. It's a trap once you get in it in the USA. It only goes downhill for the overwhelming majority who find themselves here.

That's something new to me. I though people want more horizontal tabs/columns. Scanning a very "tall" display(like this 32" one) doesn't seem very comfortable to me.
But where are you going to find a quality $1000 stand for your display?
It's competing against machines such as the Boxx dual-CPU workstations, which start at $8000 [1]. I can see movie studios and such shelling out the big bucks to buy these for their 3D modellers, but only the super rich would buy one for themselves.

Could you elaborate on this a bit please? How, when, which sector, is this specific to that sector/field of IT, how hard it is, who are the usual suspects, what's the success rate, do you have to pre-arrange meetings, book a room where you showcase your whatever...?
It’s sort of ironic that, after switching to Intel, Apple again finds themselves saddled with the second-best consumer desktop CPU architecture.

Who could’ve predicted the year they bring back the Mac Pro is the year AMD leapfrogs Intel though.
Everyone else's software/hardware is just that bad, so Apple can fuck around for years and switching's still a tough sell. That's why I'm still around, anyway. This WWDC looks like a move in the right direction for the first time in a while, at least.
Thank you, but that's how far I got myself. It is telling me there are no downloads available at this time. I am asking, because I am still on 10.14.5 and I thought the Xcode 11 beta might only be available on the 10.15 beta.

Using drugs may not be a 100% voluntary choice, but I would argue murder is.
Overall that was a very good WWDC keynote IMHO.

The Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR certainly seem to deliver on what "everyone" has been asking for over the past few years. Those prices are in another solar system to consumers so we will without question hear a lot of moaning that Apple are over-charging and such which isn't really true. The reality is that kind of performance is way beyond what a consumer would need and those prices are perfectly in line with similar devices.

Some nice additions iOS/iPadOS (Am I the only one who is irked it isn't iPhoneOS, iPadOS, etc??) that certainly makes the iPad Pro a more Pro device.

I bought and returned an iPad Pro back in February because iOS was a huge limiting factor. I said at the time "iOS on iPad Pro is two years behind the Pro hardware" and I stand by that but it seems iOS 13 with bring that down to one year behind the hardware.

Hopefully in 2020 we will see iPadOS mature to the point that the iPad Pro is a true professional device.

Info on macOS Catalina was basically zero though. Some new apps to replace iTunes which we have known about for months now. Sync moving into Finder. The only interesting thing was Voice Control which is think is superb. I always champion accessibility so seeing Apple expand voice control is great. I feel they can improve the experience as there was a lot of needless filler words but it is a great step.

Some interesting improvements to Safari on iOS/iPadOS but no word on what, if anything, is changing with Safari on macOS? With their new extension model coming into effect with Safari 13 I was hoping to see Apple say something about improvements to adblocking/tracking as we will be losing access to Unlock Origin which is a huge blow and I am unsure if I will be able to use Safari without it tbh.

Sidecar will be nice although it is a damn shame that the iPad Pro screen will be the better screen with its beautiful 120Hz Pro Motion display compared to the lower resolution 60Hz one in the MacBook Pro. Hopefully we will see Pro Motion screens in next years MacBook Pro!

For me personally the most interesting new feature is "Sign-in with Apple" and their unique email forwarding service. I have always refused to use the Google sign-in but with what Apple showed I think I would use Sign-in with Apple. At least for new services that I am unsure about at first. For all Apple's faults I respect that they do take users privacy seriously.

So with the exception of macOS news I thought it was a very strong keynote that positions Apple well for the next few years providing they deliver on their words with the Mac Pro! The only mistake was mentioning the price for the new display accessories. $999 for a stand wasn't going to go down well and the audible groan was amusing.

Now to check out the actual developer news over the next few days :)
This is a pretty unique monitor. There are very few monitors available over 4K and none that I'm aware of with this level of brightness/dynamic range.

The LG UltraFine 5K which has sort of been the de facto "Apple monitor" over the past few years since they stopped making their own is $1300.

Dell has a 32" 8K wide gamut color accurate monitor (UP3218K) which is higher resolution but doesn't get anywhere near as bright. MSRP is $3900, it currently sells for $3400 and includes a stand.

That’s why I was very explicit about saying desktop, and explicitly excluding smart phones. It’s almost like you ignored what I said.

Hopefully smart phones evolve to replace desktops by supporting large screens, mice, keyboards, but we are a long way from that.
Exactly. What a feeble and unabashed attempt by Fred Wilson to shield his investments and SV buddies.

The fourth amendment is such a 1776 solution, it is 2019 already and time to move on. Cringe

Breaking up monopolies is not an idea that's stuck in the 19th and 20th centuries. It's an idea stuck in reality and reason, and it has a history of working.

Many times it is the simplest and most obvious solution that is best.
This is interesting, and if true it challenges my understanding of how the UN works significantly. Can you elaborate?
I have an Apple Thunderbolt Display and a generic 4k. The Apple display powers on instantly, the speakers are fantastic, it functions as a dock, and I can control brightness from the keyboard. The generic 4k display has none of those benefits, oh and I can't seem to get accurate colors.

I was prepared to buy a new Apple display today knowing that it would be quality in all those aspects. Instead it'll be trial and error to discover a good monitor that works as well as Apple's aging thunderbolt display.
var body: some View {

Wait, what? When was `some` a keyword?
I guess .color() is a method, and .gray is an enum case.
What happened is the FTC and DOJ brokered and agreement on jurisdiction, finally.

The rest of these articles are just guessing about what it means.

Really.

It's certainly the case that they don't broker agreements for no reason.

But they've also probably been talking to each other about it for 4+ years.

In the background they've almost certainly had lighter investigations/considerations roughly "forever".

So i'd take all of this with a huge grain of salt until there is something more.

It will be obvious what is going on one way or the other when they start issuing subpoenas, to either potential witnesses, or to these companies themselves.

Before that, the other sign would be huge staffing up of the temps and experts necessary for document review, etc.
Not really. It's still linked transparently behind the scenes to your Apple ID. The connection won't be visible to the developers but the fraud etc will already be taken care of when signing up for your Apple ID.

I've used a lot of ratios except 4:3 but and I find 21:9 to be the best because you can have more side by side like a website on half of it and your favorite IDE on the other but 21:9 3440x1440 really should be in the 30 or more inches in size in my personal opinion and 1080 can be less
> There is an anti-car/pro-bike lane group of researchers who want to push this style of road design super hard right now at all costs.

I agree with this, at least for activists as I don't have much experience with researchers. Many people view bike lanes as some sort of panacea, and they sometimes end up making the situation worse than it would be otherwise for the exact reasons you mention.

Just to give an example, I'm a cyclist. I live in Austin and cross I-35 on a daily basis. Recently I was trying to reach a city traffic engineer to understand why where the bike lanes there cross the highway exits and onramps are so dangerous. Some of the locations have two signs saying to yield to cyclists in the crossing, but in my experience many drivers don't even seem to notice those signs. I was put in contact with some bike program coordinator. The coordinator told me that they plan to convert those bike lanes to protected bike lanes. I told them that the problem was the crossing between the bike lanes and the highway exits and onramps, not that the bike lane wasn't protected. Whenever Austin makes a protected bike lane, they don't protect the crossings, so a protected bike lane can't address the problems I have. Fortunately, the coordinator did tell me they'll inform me when the next planning meeting is for improvements to those bike lanes. But my experience suggests that my concerns will fall on deaf ears.

So, as you said, most of the risk is from intersections, not being hit from behind. Protected bike lanes won't fix the intersections.

> This stuff is plainly obvious when you've rode 10s or 100s of times more miles than the researchers.

Yes, as transportation cyclist for over a decade now, it seems clear to me that experience matters. I have a friend who has been riding for probably over 20 years now and we both have far more nuanced views than the more green cyclists who tend to view bike lanes as a panacea.
It was during the event, they just displayed an overly dramatic LOC comparison on the screen between a few page-downs on a longer Swift file, then the next screen showed a ~10 line block of code which does the same thing. Followed by the standard audience applause.

The livestream hasn't been uploaded yet but I'm sure you could find it in one of the live blogs.
But your build doesn't run macOS.... that's all that matters for so many folks.

(I aggree - I feel like maybe I will never be able to afford or justify a Mac-based system in my 3rd world country...)
That looks like a fantastic feature, especially due to the fact that you can use Apple Pencil to control your Mac. I wonder if that will cannibalize Wacom sales. Having used both Apple Pencil + iPad Pro and a Wacom tablet (separately), I found it real hard to draw on the Wacom table without seeing what I'm drawing under the pencil.
