Fall 2019 Mac Pro Specs
Fantastic work you've done here!
It's my understanding that a lot of the appeal of RN is also that it allows web devs who are fluent in JS to make mobile apps, so I guess that's not really comparable in SwiftUI either.

It will take me some time to not think of “extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis” when I hear XDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensively_drug-resistant_tub...
Sure, if someone wants to foot the bill I could bring myself to use one ;), it's just that when it's my money I'd rather have the same performance at a third the price and the same OS I'll be deploying to.

As mentioned though, I'm clearly not the target demographic.
For a while now I’ve been using “someservice.com@account.mydomain.me” when signing up for accounts.

I use FastMail for my email hosting, and they allow you to turn on wildcards for any custom domain. I don’t get any spam because it’s at a subdomain — never enable *@mydomain.me because you will get a mountain of spam to admin@, webmaster@, etc.
I just found this recommended video on my YouTube app homepage: https://youtu.be/WpMRV0r08CI

Uploading channel has 2667 subscribers (I’m not one of them), has only ever uploaded 5 videos, starting about a month ago. All videos are of the same topic. 4 of the videos have views in the low thousands. The recommended one has 2 million.

Content wise, the video is 2:27 long, unedited fixed cam footage. It is true to the title and delivers on its promise.

I have nothing further to add.
On that very different topic... Complaints almost exclusively from local privatized electricity monopolies. The US residential solar footprint is a drop in the ocean compared to central European nations (thinking Germany in particular). Public utilities see reduced reliance on their service as a success, while for-profit utilities see it as a threat.
Apple's been making $20k computers for decades now.

At least in theory you could now socket in your own Nvidia GPU via PCIe...

...if Apple actually made drivers for Nvidia GPUs.
For example? Keep in mind the iPad has keyboard support can already support most of the common keyboard shortcuts.
Sure a high end workstation can be a worthwhile investment but the internals are just extremely underwhelming for the price. Even the iMac Pro seems like an incredible bargain in comparison.

The base model Mac Pro is $1000 more expensive than the base model iMac Pro but has 1/4 the storage, a slower GPU, and lacks the presumably very expensive built in 5K display. RAM is the same and CPU appears to be similar.

Now they haven't revealed upgrade pricing but I'm sure they are going to charge a similarly large markup and the top models will probably be north of $20K. Clearly people are willing to pay a premium for MacOS but I think a lot of people will start asking themselves if it is really worth something like $5-10K over similar workstation hardware from other vendors.
I work at Stripe. Yes, absolutely. We’re continuing to invest in Stripe Radar and our machine learning fraud prevention (the team is doubling by the end of the year!). Radar is included at no additional cost in our standard payments processing pricing (2.9% + 30 cents in the US, with similar pricing elsewhere).
This is how it works where I live; after subsidies (which are automatically deducted from the bill) I pay about US$20 per year to the water supplies department.
The syntax example is still not as clean as QML, which is already a ten-year-old language (examples: http://qmlbook.github.io/ch04-qmlstart/qmlstart.html).
I pay $30/year for a cpanel host that includes unlimited mail forwarding for any address on any domain. This is a byproduct of what I really do which is host a bunch of sites. $48/year for email scrubbing seems like a high price.

I think it’s great, and use it a lot. Just wonder how you got to that price vs like $10/year.
Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/

Positions: Full-Stack Engineer, Data Scientists, R&D Product Formulator / Scientist

Overview: Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception of flavor, aroma, and texture to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products, enter new markets, and optimize their existing brands. We're a diverse 12 person post Series-A company.

Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, Java, GraphQL, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS

The Position(s)

_Data Science_: We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. Our Data Science team develops new models and algorithms from scratch to make second-order inference on sparse data sets from non-representative samples that generalizes to the underlying target population. We rely on cutting edge models such as persistent homology, PU Learning, and metric learning to make predictions on non-eucldian human sensory data. We don't use tensor flow or pandas or keras as they are not a good fit for our problem space. We prefer a deep understanding of math and stats VS experience running logistic regressions in Python. (but we're cool with Python / Logit / experience)

_Engineering_: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Data-Engineers with experiance in micro-batch processing for machine learning pipelines.

Next Steps: please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.

I have a fairly narrow monitor as my second orientated vertically to write code in. I can see more and horizontally it just didn’t work.
It’s fairly easy to configure in the Mac and Linux control panels so i doubt I’m unique.

Other than a few-hour intro seminar on building iOS apps, almost 10 years ago, I've never written anything in Swift. The announcements around it today got the biggest reactions from the crowd. Is is really great, blasé, or too early to tell?
That page should have some sort of indication that it's scrollable since browsers increasingly don't show visible scrollbars until you're already scrolling. Something like Bootstrap's scrollspy might be useful since it could also show you the sections further down before you scroll through the intermediate sections.

I think this thing is completing against stuff like the 10 bit 4k Eizos which are also pretty expensive to use for anything other the highend graphics. They probably should have a none hdr model for half the price though.
Jetpack Composer you mean.

I bet by next IO, Flutter will get replaced by it, specially after the #KotlinEverywhere announcement and Kotlin/Native effort for iOS.
what's the solution? not implement multi-finger gestures due to complexity and just omit the feature altogether?

I'd rather have those capabilities? My drawing apps on iOS all have tons of multi-touch gestures. I appreciate they are there.
Thanks. Really good job
does the author just have a problem with "autoplay" vs the user clicking on the videos?

i had to read over halfway just to find out what the google exec said. here is the quote of contention, i think

"“I’m not saying that a user couldn’t click on one of those videos that are quote-unquote more extreme, consume that and then get another set of recommendations and sort of keep moving in one path or the other. All I’m saying is that it’s not inevitable.”"
you are exactly right. Fortunately in Tech that seems to change somewhat with homeworking and other "remote" style of working.
I'm on Android, so I don't know how it works on iOS devices, but is reentering the Google credentials common? On my Android phone I doubt I had to enter my password more than 5 times in 2 years.

And the OAuth screen would be required anyway, as they have also shown on stage.
I don't think that's true. It seems to be higher-level framework based on Cocoa Touch. Existing apps will work just fine. And probably any real world app will have to deal with Cocoa Touch as well, like any real React app have to work with DOM.

I don't see the relevance here. Upthread you were saying that it was impossible to distinguish "wanting lower taxes because taxes are bad" and "wanting lower taxes because I want more money". Holding similar standards of evidence would make it impossible to distinguish "I want higher taxes because the government can do better things with the money" or "I want higher taxes because of the marginal utility of money" from "I want higher taxes because fuck the rich". You then suggested that you could tell the higher-tax positions apart by the speaker's willingness to comply with the increased taxes. But in a progressive tax system, the speaker is proposing higher tax rates for others than for themselves - which is very similar to "making(sic) a special exemption for themselves so that all their money wouldn't be taxed away too and leave them at best on an even playing field with those they (previously?) hated".

Making the exemption wider doesn't really escape your earlier argument.
Wouldn't Apple be okay with everyone switching over to their own iOS based ARM products? They wouldn't have to deal with Intel for processors regular CPU's anymore and they wouldn't have to support an extra software architecture on the development side of things.
> However, communications from the government to counter other communications identified as disinformation are government propaganda. If they are not identified as such, then they have the same problem as the original disinformation.

Yes, that's why you need an independent media, as mentioned in the article: "The mainstream media, of course, then picks up this counter-narratives and then do a balanced report."

> making it easy to flag propaganda in apps and then blocking it [...] all of the information that people in a country can see

From the article, emphasis mine: "stop being preferred to show on people's newsfeed, but it's not censorship. If you look specifically for that friend, that post is still there, but they have a warning that says it's already fact-checked as false."

They key word here is preferred. It's not blocked, but rather deprioritized and contextualized.

Obviously, there's good reason to still be uncomfortable with this, because this advantages the dominant worldview. Fundamentally though, tradeoffs have to be made, to prevent things like the Rohingya crisis and the emboldening of the far-right. Deprioritizing and contextualizing of fringe worldviews, without fully blocking them, seems like a good tradeoff to me.
You forgot to say that Dell is an 8k monitor(Apple is only 6k), 1-2 years old, cheaper by far than Apple's pro display. Don't mention the stand.

Oh yeah, the Magna Carta was certainly focused on the upper class (as the person I was responding to was as well), but it shows a respect for life and property - may that get muddied by class issues? I'm sure it did, but people they recognized as being full people (I'm simplifying the relationship a bit) were afforded the right to live.
This is such a ridiculously widespread problem...

When I opened a new joint bank account with my wife, the branch manager was helping set us up for online access. I asked about having our individual logins linked to the joint account. He said they couldn't do that, and we had to share the login for the joint account. I pointed out their TOS had just forbidden us to ever do that. He agreed it was stupid, but they had no other option available.

Indeed, but (unsurprisingly) Apple-only.
This is what I don't really get about "request desktop site" or this kind of announcement... I don't know the last site I saw that serves different layouts based on browser agent, it's all based on screen size and resolution. Unless Apple is spoofing a higher resolution on an iPad, I don't see what will change.

That being said, on Bootstrap (and Bootstrap-like sites) turning the 2018 base model iPad on its side will give you a col-md layout which is usually enough to trigger the desktop size.

This is fantastic, and I am almost upset by how little info the keynote address included. Obviously there will be a ton of detail coming out this week with the labs and documentation being released, looking forward to that.

As an iOS developer, this is by far the biggest announcement. This has huge potential to provide value to me and my team. I'm looking forward to ripping out programmatic NSLayoutConstraint and Interface Builder from my projects ASAP. This seems like it includes much more than that, however.
I never used a Mac Pro but I'm surprised how many people are having issues with the price tag... Is 6K a lot for what they are providing? Most of the workstations I use at work average around $6K for heavy loaded work. Some of the render machines can go up to $10K [1]. Is their pricing off because it's geared towards "Prosumers"?

IIRC phone-mode apps that allow it can run on an iPad in a framed mode so they don't look too weird. I get why they don't do that with the calculator because it'd be "poor UX" but "what do you mean I spent $1200 on this and there's no fucking calculator, my Apple phone and laptop both have one, you mean I gotta go sort through the app store to find something that's not gonna show me ads, then probably pay some more money on top of that $1200, to get a calculator, I mean there was one in Windows 3.1 FFS" is even worse UX.
Except... Have it been shown that Google did take action to change their algorithms to describe misinformation, at the cost of a stock market hit in January when they showed it decreased watch time?

There isn't a ANSI/ISO standard to my knowledge. But some ramblings that might help you ballpark it:

One shot of espresso equates to roughly 100mg of caffeine - give or take (a lot).

>How many GreatBrittan cups

Assuming you're British...if you walk Costa and ask for a small black...you're getting around 2 cups worth of caffeine. Just under 200mg. They're not likely to serve you anything north of 400mg.

Tolerances for caffeine are all over the place. I know that personally at around 1000mg per day things go for focused/wired to uncomfortable for me.

25 cups...is at least double that.
You mean placing critical data in someone's else computer?

No, many businesses are a bit more clever than that.
Programming Paradigm vs. Architecture

Run your own mail server and you'll have all the addresses you care to use, using any scheme you might think off. I've been doing this for decades now and it just plain works. A day or so to get the thing setup, 8 hours of maintenance per year and you're done. Use Google-free Android devices in your pocket, Linux or *BSD on your lap and in the server/broom cupboard and those foxes can claim to be vegans for all I care.

Ask HN: What is the optimal monitor aspect ratio for programming?
Like many people on HN, I practically live inside a text editor, a terminal, and a web browser (to read documentation). I handle these with a tiling window manager.

What are good sweet spot monitor aspect ratios and resolutions for plain text?

I used a 16:9 (1366x768) 11 inch screen for long time, but I realize it is limiting as it is too short and too narrow to split into several windows.

Some time ago, I switched to a 16:9 2k (2560x1440) 27 inch screen. A mainstream setup now. It has been a great increase in productivity as I can now comfortably split the screen with StumpWM or Emacs and have 2 ample windows side by side.

4k screens are typically 3840 x 2160, so still 16:9. With 1.5 scaling, that's the same as a 2k screen. Just more smooth text. If cost is not a concern, it is generally better. Unless scaling is still problematic in your platform.

What about other aspect ratio-resolution combinations?

I have heard great things about 21:9 3440x1400, where it is easy to fit 3 windows side by side.

Sadly I haven't seen any 2k 16:10 screens (2560x1600), or 4:3 (2560x1920) which would be great for having two taller windows side by side.

However, there are some intriguing 1:1 2048x2048 and 1920x1920 panels around mostly used for air traffic control. Eizo does sell one 1920x1920 for end users, and it is not too expensive.
I'd be curious to know how many React Native devs work on cross-platform apps. In casual conversation I've had it actually isn't that high, despite it being one of the central promises of RN.

Given that SwiftUI has live reloading and a sensible template interface I could absolutely see it winning over some RN devs. There's something to be said (particularly with Apple) for using the native toolset rather than RN, Flutter and the like.
Pros can justify the price if the performance is top-of-the-line and downtime is zero (or support & fix is near-instant).

If Apple's quality control game leaks over into this new Pro line, then there will be lots of unhappy professionals staring at their $11k paperweights while shopping for something else.
Great initiative. A much neeeded curated content reading source.
