Some apps don't open the "sign in with Google"(/facebook) popup correctly and so cookies end up not being enabled for that browser session, so users need to re-enter their google credentials.

Ah, I totally forgot about Flexscan. They're definitely more suitable for consumer than ColorEdge. I think I didn't considered it because it doesn't have DCI-P3, but it is definitely a great monitor.

Exactly, start with basic but overlooked concepts.

As 5th grader I learned electricity with some old book from my father's shelf which explained it with hydraulic analogy[1].

That what I meant, a built in calibration arm/camera unit plus easily replacable panel w/o driver unit might have been a killer feature. But replaceable and Apple don't mix.

To me this looks like a overengineered consumer device, with insane macro-scale part count and failures/uniformity issues just waiting to happen. Besides local contrast issues with in a LED driven pixel area and the borders between them. You can do this, but comparing it reference class seems quite the claim to live up to.

The $40k Sony device mentioned is OLED btw.

How does the Mac Mini not meet what you're asking for?
Any time Apple announces a Macbook, there are hundreds of comments saying how they've abandoned the true professionals by only supporting quad-core processors and 16GB of RAM and expansion only through USB-C. Then they announce a machine that has 1.4kW of power and 28 cores and 1.5TB of RAM and we see comments from people complaining that they don't need that much power and any machine will work for them.
Safari has a really high market share on mobile, so I would not discount it especially for non-power users who primarily just use their phone.
It received just enough to pass, don't forget that. And also don't forget that nowadays it receives just enough support to stay on the books.

Also. Talking point or not, it pretty much showcases that policymaking today is not a deliberate good faith iterative process what it should be. It's just a front in the culture wars.
It's not just for enums. It works for any static variable on a given type. So you can say .gray and have it map to NSColor.gray, etc.

Taxfyle | Miami, FL - Remote | Full-Time | https://taxfyle.com

Taxfyle is a Series A venture-backed startup based in Miami, FL. We started in 2016 on a mission to bring the accounting industry into the 21st century. We started as a two-sided marketplace connecting consumers to accounting professionals. We have since evolved to providing outsourcing services to accounting firms so they can tap into our network of professionals without having to worry about recruiting and training new staffers for their seasonal demands. Our system is powered by a very powerful and robust work routing engine that we have also started selling as a SaaS product for larger firms that want to use it as an internal work management platform.

The main points of our tech stack are: Node/Typescript, React, Xamarin, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch.

We are headquartered in beautiful, sunny Coral Gables, walking distance from restaurants and bars. We offer competitive compensation packages including health/dental/vision insurance, equity (stock options), professional development (conferences, training, etc).

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

> He also described the Firefly approach as a “win-win-win scenario” — not just for drivers and advertisers, but also for local businesses, nonprofits and local governments, to whom the company has committed 10% of its inventory.

It's interesting how he left customers out of this description. I guess "win-win-win-lose" probably didn't test well.

I'll avoid using any service that adopts this, and can only hope that there will remain at least one who doesn't.
Can you explain how to recover "telos"?
Same here, I'm looking to build a machine to process large data sets. So far nothing can beat Linux on an EPYC or ThreadRipper on price/performance. It would cost half as much for a 1TB NVMe SSD, RTX 2080, at least 16 cores, etc.

The only reason I'm even waiting is because Zen 2 is right around the corner.

The 256GB SSD is so confusing. The price difference between a 970 EVO 256GB and a 970 EVO 512GB for example is only $50 (I couldn't even find a 256GB 970 PRO or 980). Are they really that desperate for margin on a machine this expensive?

The lack of NVidia is also strange, do the AMD cards in this config even support Tensorflow?
The price saddens me. The $6K base is twice the base of the 2013 Mac Pro when it was released. Some quick spec-ing for a somewhat-equivalent DIY build gives somewhere around $3K.

I hope at least that the SSDs are standard M.2, but looking at the pictures I’m not sure they are.
I develop apps myself and I am 100% onboard with using this instead of offering the signup with google or facebook buttons (can offer those as secondary options). I might even push users slightly to use this instead of others as it gives my apps a bit of extra trust worthiness imo.

Only question I have is if it's possible to integrate this on websites and for non-apple products too? Because I would like my app which is available on Android too to be able to use this.

EDIT: Apple's site says it will be available on websites too. Let's hope it's available on non-apple devices too:

Complaining only signals that you are not the market they’re targeting. This is for Hollywood media makers, high end studios, etc. This was never to be a mass market item.
Where do you see pricing info? Or did they talk about it in the keynote?
There was a firmware update for the LG Screen Manager that stated "additional monitor model (24MD4KL, 27MD5KL) (internal logic was changed)". This monitor is on the Apple website here https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUA2/lg-ultrafine-4k-dis... that's the 24MD4KL-B.AUSA. Probably just waiting for the new Ultrafine 5K displays to arrive, these panels are difficult to manufacture.

It also explains why Apple didn't do a 27" Apple Pro Display XDR and just went ahead with the 32". They still intend on having the LG monitors as "budget" mainstream options. If you look at the design of the Apple Pro Display XDR it's obvious LG was involved in it's design and manufacturing. Even the USB-C port placement is identical to the 4K/5K just on the other side.
You are missing the point. I am trying to set aside determination of guilt and talk about due process, which it seems is very hard to do.

Let's assume we are uninterested in Assange's guilt and only interested in due process.

The Mac Pro is super niche. Inside of that incredibly small niche, I think the Afterburner card won't actually be that rare.
Plain wrong. It's not end-to-end encrypted by default, that's true. But all chats are encrypted with key portions distributed between different jurisdictions in case some country gets funny ideas.

Strides have been made in virtualizing macOS, so that might not be holding people back much anymore.
Why would Apple want these apps to run in Safari? They have a platform to run these already.
Where does this leave Storyboards? I can't see complex UI being built in SwiftUI
The price saddens me. The $6K base is twice the base of the 2013 Mac Pro when it was released. Some quick spec-ing for a somewhat-equivalent DIY build gives somewhere around $3K. The build I was already spec-ing for my next workstation has 2x RAM, 16x SSD, SFP+ NIC and is under $5K.

I hope at least that the SSDs are standard M.2, but looking at the pictures I’m not sure they are.

But it’s absolutely homemade by math PhDs (not crypto specialists). And if you search for ‘telegram security’ you’ll find any number of articles pointing out a bunch of weaknesses. It’s also only half open source.
I’s argue the primary device you interact with 8+ hours per day should qualify for “things you might care about”. Together with chair and desk, monitors should be THE priority for any smart developer.

(Note this doesn’t mean that this screen is not overpriced. Not all developers need 6k, a 4k screen already renders butter-smooth text at the correct resolution. This screen is for photographers, print professionals and moviemakers, imho.)
By model of the world I mean something much more than what's called an ML model today. I mean the cognitive ability to predict the past and future of some part of the real world based on observation. Most simple example: Seeing two video frames of a massive object moving in front of a reference background and predicting the curve it's going to do, and where it came from. Only having such an understanding of the world (physical laws, human interactions with it etc.) allows to program in much more general cost functions that can get the system to explore on its own, not just within a given rule set, but the rule set itself.
It's part of generalized existentials, a forthcoming language feature.
"That’s right — Medium owns your content. It owns it to the extent that it can copyright it and use it for any purpose that is “reasonably appropriate” to their service"

Dear god that is horrifying, I'm not sure if I stressed it in the article enough but my main goal was actually owning that editable source content because quite frankly I have changed my website time and time again. That said I like Hugo a lot and it meets my balance for simplicity vs control.

How is this like FRP, React, or Elm (each of those things being fairly different themselves). SwiftUI actually reminds me of JavaFX when done with JavaFX Script (ahead of its time by too much), but I haven't been able to dig up a lot of examples from their website yet.
Yep, the privacy focused company makes money selling hardware rather than ads.

> A hypothetical Australian citizen who did things in Britain which are legal there but illegal in the U.S. would simply not be detained at all.

I'm pretty sure the US-UK extradition agreement uses the double illegality rule, so Assange is safe from extradition if the British court finds that what he is accused of by the US is legal in the UK.
Maybe cops can use it to record hidden convos?
> The stand and VESA mount costs extra because it’s Apple.

For me the last line in the article obnoxiously sums up Apple's attitude towards pricing.
Well, I suppose “obvious” is relative.

I think an interface that presents you with multiple windows by default, and then lets you drag them, is a lot more discoverable than what the iPad is doing.
Double jeopardy?
The thing the Mac Pro does is magically make the price of every other computer look that much better.

$6000 for a computer? Johnson, that's insane.

What about $4999 for an iMac Pro? It comes with a display.

Great, order it!

What about $2499 for a Mac Mini with 32GB and 1TB SSD?

Great, order it!

What about $2499 for a Macbook Pro?

Great, order it!
Imagine trying to call 911 and finding that the one part of your phone that makes it a phone isn't working.

Mistakes happen, but this combined with Fi's notorious drop in support quality over the last few years makes me very glad I cancelled. I'll pay more for a real cell provider if it means fewer (or no) outages.
Really excited to see the future of this hardware even though I'm not the target demographic. The ability to swap out with newer PCIe components down the line will be nice and it appears Apple is likely using some sort of desktop socket, so mounts and adapters for customizing the CPU will be available from 3rd parties eventually. Hopefully Intel doesn't change the CPU socket out from underneath everyone too soon.

I'm also curious if it will support PCIe Gen4 since Apple has obviously worked closely with AMD. I'm not up to speed on the specifics on whether Intel CPUs can take advantage of that hardware yet though or if we'll have to wait a year. Maybe that's why Apple didn't give a hard release date?

What I'm really disappointed about is the new display. I would gladly pay another $1-2k similar to the old cinema displays for something that's been updated but without all the HDR features. $5k for a display is insane for anyone except video professionals who need the HDR capabilities. The icing on the cake is getting nickel and dimed for the stand too. $200 I think they could make a good faith argument, but for $1k and it doesn't even come with a vesa mount in the box is really disappointing.

You could definitely tell the crowd was bummed on that tidbit in particular.

Overall though, still a great showing by Apple and a move in the right direction for power users.
Depends on what you mean by "clean". I'd say it's pretty good from what I can see? The examples are also incomparable; the one you link to is nearly 20 lines of code to define nothing more than an embedded triangle image and single text embed with a few colors, while the Swift example hosts an entire modal list with embedded picture components and text (while handling fluid scrolling, right-to-left langs, dark mode theming, etc all implicitly) -- all in the same number of lines or so (and had further mods made during the Keynote by a developer with similar brevity.) Judging from lines only or "cleanliness" I'd say SwiftUI is doing pretty good here, but ultimately the examples are too apples and oranges to draw any real conclusions from.

Syntax aside, there is a large semantic difference between the two: QML is a separate language/modeling tool that is embedded into the application runtime. SwiftUI is in fact ordinary Swift code and the UI you define with it is also ordinary Swift code too, code that XCode and the Swift compiler understand and analyze and refactor and compile like any other. Just with some special magic to make the UI builder work with it. I think this has a lot of advantages notably from a toolchain perspective, since you don't even need XCode (just the Swift compiler) to do things like xrefs/refactorings across SwiftUI code, nor maintain tooling like that across two languages (XYZ + whatever UI modeling language)

Given that, my first impressions of how far they took it (and how well it came out) are pretty good.
How much are the costs?
> I think this is very close to what Apple really needed to do.

Nope. It's jewelry for people who don't know anything about computers. Corporate aren't as naive in costing, so there's no traction there either.

800$ of hardware with a bunch of custom expansion slots. SSD is probably soldered on to the case or motherboard. It looks like a cheese grater. GL with that dead body.

Are they bad at setting prices, or are they acknowledging the fact that people need water to live.

The last thing a city wants is a bunch of people who can't afford water, and decide to drink from the local stream, and the city has to pay to treat cholera or some other outbreak.

There are other ways of paying for infrastructure. Not everything needs to be fully paid with usage fees.
I think that Nvidia will release cards for this Mac. May be even existing ones will fit. There are PCI-E ports there after all.

There's a passage from Existential Comics[0] that is relevant:

>Utilitarianism, as described by philosophers such as Bentham, Mill, and Singer, is roughly the idea that morality should be based purely on what causes the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. In his novel, Notes From the Underground, Dostoyevsky made a strong objection to this style of ethics, imploring us to imagine a world where Utilitarianism as a project was finished. The perfect world was created and it was known what would make us the most happy. He said at this point, the human would rebel, and reject the system. He claimed that if there was a single value that was held most high - human freedom, then no moral system could be perfect, because it would rob us of that freedom. He claimed that if happiness was indeed the ultimate goal of life, then all of human history has been a mistake. That is to say, if you observe individual humans in history, they have seldom sought out happiness for themselves. They have instead sought out only what they sought out. What they desired was merely what they desired, and often it had nothing to do with happiness, be it art, ambition, conquest, to have children, or merely spite - what they wanted to do was what they wanted to do, and the further explanation of their desire making them "happy" was superfluous, and unrelated to what their desire to be free.

FRP and MVC seem like different types of patterns to me. Functional reactive is about how you manage state and flow while MVC is largely about separation of concerns. In my (possibly poor) understanding, you could actually use them together.

I'm interested in your take on that though. I'm self taught and I've got some weird ideas about things.
$3,999 and $1,999 would have been so much more reasonable.
