I'm happy that Apple is aiming at the pro market again. I wish their next step was to release more products for programmers, not just designers.

For example, big 2k 16:10 monitors have been wiped out from the market as manufacturers can't be bothered to produce panels in that aspect ratio, instead of 16:9. More vertical space makes such a difference.

I only know of two old 30 inch models from Dell and NEC that will be soon not possible to purchase. Apple, with their scale, could get custom orders.
Well the actual presentation justified the cost saying it was far cheaper than other reference monitors.

Unfortunately for Apple that didn’t make a good heading.
There is a way to make money from writing beyond publishing and hoping that readers will pay for your work after the fact. Most sustainable writing has never worked on that model. Traditionally, writers were paid by publishers and it was the publishers job to extract payment from readers.

Today, writers try to be both writers and publishers, and they find it extremely difficult. That's no surprise; professional publishers also find it extremely difficult to monetize their content. Writers applauded the web for disintermediating the relationship between them and their readers, but publishers had an important role to play; they promoted content and made sure that people paid for it.

Blogging and expecting to be paid for it is like a developer releasing their code for free on GitHub and then expecting people to pay to use it. Some developers can build a "community" who will pay, but most will fail.

However, developers do make money from people who want particular software, and writers can work on a similar model. I make a decent living ghost writing for executives and writing marketing content for tech companies. I don't write what I want or what I think is most important, but I make a living doing something I enjoy.
Pathfinder a First Look
Yes it actually is competitive in many ways. Especially for it’s size.

Here are a few other reference displays in the market:

I think its a case of argue for your limitations, and there yours to have. All of the bullet points you list can easily be solved with the many tools that are freely available.

"Some pro-remote people also say "I don't need the social interaction"

I think this is a good point. It's important to meet people in person and then you learn the niches of their character and won't find yourself trying to find translate the intent of someone typing in slack ("is that sarcasm or are they really upset?"). My engineering remote team resolves this by us having twice yearly meet ups, where we all spend a week together eating, drinking and discussing strategy.

For me this is the biggest plus of being on my own: https://heeris.id.au/2013/this-is-why-you-shouldnt-interrupt... I am in full control of interuptions .
Jiménez certainly designed the thing that killed him. As far as I can tell, Heselden's involvement was just finanical. The deaths are both ironic, but in different ways. FWIW, it was enough to get him on a different list:

Elm is a language + a framework whereas Purescript is just a language.

There are a number of different frameworks you can use with Purescript from copies of the Elm architecture to wrappers over React to Halogen which can be thought of as a componentized Elm with multiple update loops. Halogen is awesome, really hits the sweet spot for me.
Bear has no Android app, and no LaTeX support either, so this works better for me.

What makes people think that if it's a "hollywood" production house (most of them aren't in Hollywood) that they are ready to buy a $1k monitor stand, no questions asked? It won't happen, unless they are a) stupid (they aren't) b) flush with cash (they aren't) c) for a client room (maybe).

What is interesting is that new monitor. Spec-wise it's not the same as a good Sony or even Flanders, but it's not that far off and it's not $35k+. Now, that's something that those studios would buy plus a stand - when you put it like that - 6-7k monitor that's 95% there of a 35k monitor.
I forget how different my Internet experience is from everybody else, without Facebook, Twitter and similar sites that you log in to use.
There are much better tools. You really shouldn't run user code in kernel space.

Don't underestimate how people feel about having a complete Apple-design desktop solution.
Eg: people are also falling out about Apple selling a LG thunderbolt display as companion for their Macbook instead of a proper Apple-design display.
Most of my Python/Ruby stuff requires additional packages to be installed and so would need to be bundled anyway if I wanted it to be easily transferred to a vanilla machine so I don’t see what the big deal is. I got into programming through wanting to automate something really boring with AppleScript and I got into Ruby (wow that was amazing compared to AppleScript) through wanting to program sketch-up which has a bundled interpreter. When I wanted to use Ruby for other cool stuff, the Ruby website recommended I installed my own so it didn’t mess with the system install. I doubt there are very many people who get into programming by accidentally typing Ruby at the command prompt. Most will come to it via a the getting started page for the language they are interested in or because it’s bundled with the software they use for their job.
Close enough to be considered, yes. However, only tests will show since it's not in pro's hands yet.
Joplin kicks ass. The only area it might need improvement is regarding showing the tags associated with a note without having to click a button.

"Not euthanasia, but how would you call it ?"

I would just call it incredibly sad.

It is not euthanasia as defined by Dutch law. Which is something a lot of the media reporting the story are getting wrong. And is the main point of this article.

It is also not euthanasia in the more literal sense of a "good/merciful death". Slowly starving yourself to death is not a good way to die. It is pretty much the opposite. If her request for euthanasia was granted she would have died in a much more humane and peaceful way. Unfortunately for her it was not possible to be euthanized.
I'm quite sure there was a bill passed by parliament allowing federal police and/or security services to "to add, copy, delete or alter other data" when carrying out investigations (and I think this was before the Assisted Access bill was passed to my knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong though).

This struck me as strange since this goes against the very fundamentals of how people are trained to carry out digital forensics on an individuals devices. I remember studying forensics a little and remember lecturers stating how damn careful they must be, as the data they collect must not be contaminated in any way for it to be admissible in court.
Great story about such a hot topic!
It's a story from a different world, one that is almost as distant in time from us as D-Day was then.
It mentions four world leaders present at the ceremony then, three are now dead but the fourth was there again yesterday and in the same role.

On June 6, President Reagan will join French President Francois Mitterrand, Queen Elizabeth, and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau at ceremonies in Caen, France, to mark the occasion.
Interesting question. US culture has a rather long history of censoring sexual content, but other nations has other areas which they prefer to censor. Historically in Sweden, we had about as restrictive ban on violence as the US had on sex. As an example, we had sexual education for teens on national broadcast and allowed movies which got banned in the states. On the other hand we banned Darkwing Duck as it "taught children how to use physical violence against each other".

Following more modern censoring in Sweden, should Youtube allow videos that include tobacco, alcohol and gambling? if not why not?
Yeah decorate it with $29 iPod socks then call us back.

There is unsafePerformIO, but it's generally considered a really bad idea unless you really know what you are doing, and even then it is probably a bad idea. It is useful for debugging though and putting trace statements in.

I wonder what someone from Apple Product Marketing would think about comments like this when they would've spent the best part of 5 years working closely with potential customers in the product design and specifications.
That's the other way around really. The WWDC was quite good, software wise (as it should).

All you hear about is outrage about the stand of a pro-monitor outside the budget range of even the most enthousiast consumer. That's how you know it was a good WWDC.
The rise of Apple computers latest era started with the ad campaign "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" which made computing choices a cultural signal, mocking PC users as stodgy and out of touch corporate types. It worked.

The timing is right where a computer manufacturer with a solid build at a reasonable price could play this same strategy against Apple. I'm thinking an ad campaign which pokes fun at Apple at being over priced and pretentious, with out of touch super fans paying thousands for a basic laptop and accessories.

The cornerstone of the campaign could be this image:

>and arguably violate Unix principles in that they want to establish a language-centric ecosystem when the Unix userland is about small, language-agnostic programs working together.

That was never a real consideration where distros/vendors are concerned (UNIX or Linux). Just a nice-to-have goal for the command line userland (and even that, more back in the day).

> Also I am curious, are you in favor of abolishing public high school? What part of your argument against free college does not apply to free high schools?

High schools are for minors. The return/cost benefit of them is much higher, and the users of it are not responsible adults, a decision is made unto them.

College is used mostly by the upper half of society, and the majority that goes to college can afford it. Taxing the populace to give the richer resources is "trickle down economics".
These are serious concerns. An attempt to make web programming with continuations work without requiring sticky sessions is "Stateless Servlets":

https://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/stateless.html?q=sta...

A stateless servlets makes it possible to serialize continuations and store them on the client/database/disk.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, so that approach has pros and cons too.
I don't spend 8 hours in isolation. I lunch with my wife, pick the kids up from school and walk my dogs. I also get to go run on my local trails (as I can just work later / earlier from home to make up for it). As long as my work is done, the company does not care where / or how long I sit at a desk for. I don't have a big brother monitor making sure I stay isolated at my desk for 8 hours a day.
This would be trademark (or possibly trade-dress, or even design-patent) infringement, not copyright per-se.
but having a non standardized mount is so revolutionary.
On the actual monitor side you don’t seem to have much competition on this category. If you want large screen with high DPI, the only ”massmarket” option seems to be the couple of years old Dell 32” 8K display which sells for like $4k.

Seems to be all the 5k displays have been discontinued.
Yes, the people who sit in $1,000 Aeron chairs with $10,000 workstations hooked up to $42,000 monitors and $5,000 speakers (each) in $100,000 - $1,000,000 studios working on movies and songs that make $100,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 each are going to be so pissed off about this atrocious pricing.

The steps to iterate the array should impose no overhead on a superscalar processor. It’s a different situation on a simple embedded processor, but the range of possible answers for memory:ALU ratios, cache line size, cache latency, allocation patterns, MMU behavior and some other factors make this an ill-posed question.

Pedantic nitpick: that is not the simplest LL algorithm. It is more complex than empty().
A panic can be recovered with recover(), and thus the program can continue. While a function that does an infinite loop will halt the program and nothing else.

In fact, I'd wager that one of an interviewer's primary goals should to find a way to fully disregard someone's interviewing skill. Search hard for questions that a sweaty super-nervous introvert would be able to do just as well as a confident natural talker. Find wording that lets you give hints / explain the question better without the interviewee going "oh no, a hint, that means i failed this step!".

I personally think this is very hard to get right, but it has to be a top prio. It's much harder (and much more valuable) than cooking up a sufficiently difficult whiteboard coding question.
That a choice about advertising, not about third party advertising. Even if you had decided to have ads, as long as they were first party adds, the policy would have allowed you to continue to deluge kids with ads.
For variable amount of "cards" that could eventually wrap this really is not possible to do in pure CSS without subgrid, as sibling comment confirmed. It is possible for fixed amount of cards: simple grid with named areas; it is possible for variable amount of cards when at least two of its components (e.g. header and footer) have fixed height: flex (or grid).

Once you have to match more than one variable dimension across two axis (headers/bodies/footers laid in vertical axis matching their "siblings" in horizontal axis in our example) you need either JavaScript, broken semantics or subgrid. This is -- as I understand it -- raison d'etre of CSS Grid Level 2.
Come on, it's a fair question, this person said "the specs" seem to indicate, not their gut feeling. As they read the specs it can't literally replace a $25K+ reference display.

Can it, yes or no?
It's not okay for Apple. It's a bait and switch tactic which Google uses that Apple is doing now. They created their App ecosystem on the basis of Ad's. Now they're strong arming developers to doing things their way.

It should not be okay, and must be protested. I hope that the government and Anti-trust lawsuits force apple to unbundle the Appstore. Apple has made enough money to recoup their investment starting from the first iPhone, and made incredible profit over that too.

Now laws should be made to ban appstores bundled with an operating system, and hardware.

Everyone should be allowed to install the app store they want with a flick of a button.

Does 99% of the population know what a reference monitor is and that they can be $30K. No.

If you asked most people today what they remember about the presentation, its the $999 stand.
Let's wait and see their sales reports and then we'll see who's wrong.
Nice. Tell more?
Joplin is really great. I use it since a few month. Unfortunately, I have some problems with the Windows version that I have to use at work: After a few days it eats my memory (2GiB+) or hangs completely (I have to kill it with the task manager).

Otherwise it's great. The UI could use a little polishing, especially regarding the tagging system.
The booing was especially funny because a large part of audience are Apple employees, put there to clap after every word.

If it seems expensive, it’s not for you.

Although I am disappointed that Apple hasn’t made a display for “the rest of us”. I’d love an Apple monitor instead of the LG ones but without all the stuff only high end video pros need. Maybe they’ll do one after everyone buys the 6k version already.
It's funny how monitor stands can cost more then the monitor itself, but it's relatively cheap if it can prevent back/neck pain.

I don't know about Camus, but Epictetus had some interesting things to say:

“Remember that the door is open. Don’t be more cowardly than children, but just as they say, when the game is no longer fun for them, ‘I won’t play any more,’ you too, when things seem that way to you, say, ‘I won’t play any more,’ and leave, but if you remain, don’t complain.” (Discourses I.24.20)

“Has someone made smoke in the house? If it is moderate, I’ll stay. If too much, I exit. For you must always remember and hold fast to this, that the door is open.” (Discourses I.25.18)

TLDR; The idea of the new system is to turn Apple’s existing network of iPhones into a massive crowdsourced location tracking system. Every active iPhone will continuously monitor for BLE beacon messages that might be coming from a lost device. When it picks up one of these signals, the participating phone tags the data with its own current GPS location; then it sends the whole package up to Apple’s servers.
You can't possibly be serious. It is WWDC i.e. a developer's conference after all. And amongst developers and power users it was by far the best ever.

Project Catalyst allows you to build Mac apps from your iOS code base with a checkbox and some minimal code. SwiftUI is a true game changer for app developers bringing Flutter style development. iPad OS with long overdue features like desktop Safari with download manager, USB drive support, 9ms pencil latency. iOS with Dark Mode, 2x app launch time, clever use of ML in Photos. Sign in with Apple is an extremely clever way to combat privacy. Apple Maps looked really strong.

I could keep going but mundane is not the way I would describe it.
My sibling chomps reply gets it.

You need to explain "peer review" or "merge requests" functionality from github, gitlab, what have you.

Basically, you have:

- An Author
- Tests
- Reviewer(s)
- Audit
- Robots
- Protective Monitoring

You should be able to explain that your average developer cannot bypass this, offering you greater assurance than the paper driven process before, and then point holes in the current process such as, people deploying manually can change the deployment after it's signed off.

You can also mention that working in this way allows you to alert and triage on all assumed roles that aren't a robot account, meaning nothing that hasn't been reviewed should happen on your production cloud account, for example.

Depending on the InfoSec team you might need to present your own risks, such as the CD environment, robot account setup, how they assume roles, the administrators, etc.

I've been explaining this stuff to old school InfoSec teams for around 5 years now and have got pretty good at it. As long as they're actually interested in the risks, rather than just exerting control, you should be able to explain it to them.

BTW I'm currently using a 15" macbook pro hooked to an old 24" 1920x1200 HP display (using DVI connection via a Thunderbolt docking station). I can't really complain, I am able to do whatever I need with this monitor.
Yep, this was poor marketing. Plain and simple.
