I'm comfortable treating this as a universal constant. Any company that buys a startup and immediately promotes their CEO to a different department never cared about the startup they just bought.
To me the, the worst thing with MacBook keyboards is when keys start to fade out[1]. I really hope they could do something about it

Eh, as someone who's primarily used Windows (and a bit of Linux with xfce) for my entire life I find Macs basically unusable (seriously how do I browse the file system). I think it's more of a question of familiarity than anything else.
This all seems like part of the tracking arms race.

The way to end it is to stop tracking in the first place.

I don't get what people have with apple's trackpad. I once got some second hand macbook air or something for work, and it felt like sliding my finger on a fine grained sandpaper. A jarring experience that I didn't like.

Pretty much anything else I ever used was more pleasant than that.
I avoid C++ and stay in straight C as much as I can. GCC's C error messages have definitely improved in response to clang (especially around deep preprocessor stuff). I had assumed that the C++ messages had likewise improved, and thought that I had heard that as well.

Then I actually had to test that working on Envoy proxy. I was disappointed to get utterly incomprehensible error messages. I'm "GCC-by-default", so a coworker suggested I try switching to clang++... and sure enough, clang++ gave me decent error messages.
Yeah, um, I’m 50/50 about the T2. I’ve found it quite easy to brick the mid 2018 mob.
The comment expresses the view that the whole diamond thing is bollocks. It's just oddly melodramatic in my opinion and takes these wild swings that spam comments on my WordPress blog take.
I’d need to find the Frontline episode I saw on this (which gave numbers). But only around 300 million people are benefiting by moving to the middle class, the 700 million migrant workers and farmers are essentially slaves. That’s how China produces cheaper goods.

So sure, “miracle for millions” is kind of true, but also omitting the majority.

Should people not meeting their “status needs” for luxury goods be something that society needs to care about on any level?
Sure. And again, there's a middle ground (that 'harryh didn't bring up but I'd be a little surprised if he disagreed about) which would just be to roll back the law to the 1990s, where student debt was dischargeable, but not until your life after school was underway. You'd carry the debt through your 20s, when it probably isn't that big a deal anyways, but if you were buried under it by the time you were 30, you could get out from under it at some cost to your credit.

Also: super graceful response in a touchy thread! Cheers!

Wow. Why is it that when someone is confident in something and chooses to donate it to the people in the face of a changing market people treat them as if they've failed? This is a massive success and a new beginning - they've taken a closed system they've been working on for decades and opened it up - we should be applauding this action, not denigrating the effort.
Unfortunately the link is throwing an error me. If it's related to the bankruptcy law, I'm not advocating that it is moral. I'm saying it's part of a complex system that a simple repeal may have unintended consequences.

From my experience in an organization specially tasked to help redesign problem processes, I can only say that every single time someone thought a simple solution would cure a complex issue, they were wrong. I'm sure there's an occasional case that could be the exception to prove the rule, but it became such an inside joke that my boss had a desk placard that read (tongue-in-cheek), "All you've got to do..."

Unfortunately, for those adamant about their idealized simple fix, they could only be convinced by seeing it fail.

Is this to say that Imperial units have some intrinsic advantage over Metric in some places? Because to me, it seems like it’s just easier to use one set of units.

That's an empty threat if you have segregated schools. Because they don't care about those other schools anyway. So there's no change--either they care about only the schools in "good neighborhoods" or they care only about private schools. At least in the latter case we aren't adding insult to injury by making everyone contribute to effectively private schools.

Outside of reliability issues I much prefer the new keyboard. Typing on the older one feels like typing on mush now.

Yep. It's not a stretch at all. In the military it's strictly forbidden and there are rules in place in case two people accidentally fall in love where there's a power imbalance.

Sex/romance with a subordinate in any organization is such a bad idea for so many reasons. Possibility of coercion is one, favoritism and dissent among other subordinates is another.
You can do so much with this data, I'm surprised if it's not already collected. You can stratify your users based on what kind of commands they do, how their mouse or cursor is moved around the screen, and what functions they are getting out of excel, and see if you can improve their experiences by lowering unneeded friction and building new features.
So you think corporations should be able to cherry pick the regulations they follow? Seems a great idea for consumer rights, environmental protection, etc.

I'd like to plug my preferred solution to the crappy new keyboards - get the Anne Pro 2, a compact mechanical keyboard that speaks Bluetooth or USB-C. It nearly the same footprint as the built-in keyboard (ergo doesn't take up much desk space), and is a delightful typing experience.

It takes a bit of getting used to, lacking function and arrow keys, but after a week or two I wouldn't trade it at all. It's a perfect match for how I use my laptop, which is 90% of the time at my desk.

What's funny to me about all of these comments is that practically focused CS programs can hit the best of both worlds. There's a reason there's a direct Waterloo to Google pipeline beyond just the 4/4/4 timing. Co-op programs and practically focused programs work great for building that industry know how in a meaningful way while still getting the core CS taught better than you'd get at most if not all bootcamps.

One of the first things I attach to every single laptop is an external keyboard. Guess why.

Where I'm from, engagement rings are a matching pair of plain gold bands. You get them together as a couple after someone has proposed. Also, marriage is something most people do in their 30's, not their 20's.

I don't think anything about the current set of tools is specific to sample rate; WaveNet, Tacotron, WaveRNN, etc, should work fine to generate 44.1Khz audio. They might just need slightly different hyperparameters or sizes to work well, or may take longer to train due to longer sequence lengths.

These problems don't exist on doubleshot keycaps, precisely because of the doubleshot injection.

In this case these aren't double shot, they are single shot that is painted/dyed and then has the lettering laser-etched out of the paint/dye.

> Why are our professions different?

Largely because of the industrial exemption. The liability you want is already absorbed by employers. The only thing that industrial exemption doesn't apply to is structural designs. I see no reason to treat software any different than chips or automobiles, so I don't really think it would change much. Certainly we wouldn't hold network engineers personally liable for outages or whatever else you have in mind.

Let me list the problems or things I don't like about my 2019 13 inch MBP:

1. Screen flickers occasionally

2. Turning on bluetooth can make the keys stuck making it impossible to type anything in order to unlock my laptop (turning off bluetooth fixes this)

3. I hate the feel of the touchbar on my fingers.

4. The touchpad is too large and I often accidentally touch it and do something I didn't want to do.

5. The mic and sound have recently gone wonky. When I'm calls, the mic automatically mutes every few minutes and a message appears saying the mic couldn't be found. A loose connection somewhere?

All this for a $2000+ laptop. Luckily it's a work laptop so I didn't pay out of pocket, but still.

I still have a 2014 15 inch MBP that I still love and use. I wish I could use it for work.

A Conservative Senator’s Crusade Against Big Tech
Why would anyone buy a 2018 MacBook? This problem has been in the news for over a year. While they plan to fix it, they haven't yet.

I had a late 2016 model with a defective keyboard out of the box. Finally had it repaired mid-2018 (which took over a month), and the new one died within days.

It'll be many years before I consider even accepting another free MacBook from work, much less buy one. I don't know if Apple realizes just how badly they messed up. I used to have an iPad, iPhone, home MacBook, and work MacBook, and even stupidly bought their overpriced Thunderbolt display out of some deranged brand loyalty. Now the only Apple product I still use is my iPad (because it hasn't completely died yet), and when this goes, that'll be it.
And then China picks up the design and so.. profit?
A thread for old men.......
I agree, the keyboard is fine, until it stops working properly. Apparently, the problems described in the article are not rare occurrences. That, and also the keys which start to fade out (see some other comments). I have both problems on my 2018 MBP.

I think the keyboard rage comes from the fact that they changed a perfectly fine keyboard with a bogus one, just to have a slightly slimmer laptop (along with many other gimmicks such as the touchbar, or the oversized trackpad).
...yes?

I think he's a bit mixed up. That rule of thumb is for when you're pumping from cold area to warm area, which is what you usually do. For instance from outside (10 degrees C air) to inside (21 degrees C air). Then you can see how the performance would drop as the differential changes.

A heat pump should perform really well when the place it's pumping from is high temperature like this. Pumping from 19 degrees C to a house that's 21 degrees C is going to be great.

Obviously things will be much less efficient if the heat pump were being used to warm the Underground from outside air (5 degrees C) but no one's going to do that! The Underground air is going to go into the home (which is at 21 degrees C). The street air isn't in the picture at all.
I don't think a code of ethics would stop this behavior, at least if derived from the existing rules governing PE societies. The relevant ethical rule that for the (US) National society of Professional Engineering is "Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public."

As much as I despise the great firewall and the associated surveillance state, reasonable people can conclude that such measures are in fact in support of "safety, health, and welfare of the public." Ethics in this area are not as concrete as say physical construction, where punishments for a flawed building design or implementation date at least to the code of Hammurabi and seems fairly consistent across cultures. Norms and ethics around surveillance and the role of the state are far less universal. An ethics review board from mainland China could come the conclusion that not creating or implementing these features would be unethical.

I do think that engineers should do exactly as you recommend, but I also doubt that our shared sense of ethics are universal enough to get the outcomes we want.
I mostly regret the comment on F#. It's not my place to say and it makes it seem like I know more than I actually do.
I don't think so. The future is unpredictable. History is full of unexpected twists and turns.
Turning it off could leave a trace: "this phone was turned off 15 minutes before the robbery started, and was turned on 15 minutes after the robbery ended, both events in a location which is 15 minutes by car from the bank".

Leaving it at home, without turning it off, leaves no such trace; it's consistent with "this phone's user simply stayed at home today".

When I first got it, it was fantastic, the best laptop keyboard I've ever used - over time the keys have got a little squishy though. Not enough to be an issue but it does make be a bit sad...

I had a Surface Pro 4 before this and the keyboard on that was also amazing despite a much smaller size, and the keys didn't degrade at all.
Don't know where these figures of 300m and 700m come from, but people below poverty line reduced significantly. No tax is asked from farmers and kids of farmers are free to get higher pay either by either working as migrants in city or become new middle class through education. Overall wellbeing uplift is no doubt but discrepancy in the society increases much more, which is a big problem.

Better to use normal behaviour than unusual. Unless of course you turn your phone off often during x time of the robbery.

But most people don't unless it runs out of battery and rarely when they are at home (people just plug it in when they are home).

Not that this is useful in court but it could point detectives in your direction.
A man is born gentle and weak.
At his death he is hard and stiff.
Green plants are tender and filled with sap.
At their death they are withered and dry.

Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death.
The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.

Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle.
A tree that is unbending is easily broken.

The hard and strong will fall.
The soft and weak will overcome.

I agree, when comparing it to the 2015 keyboard, it’s like typing on a squishy jello blanket.

However, my ideal keyboard is the current external Magic Keyboard that Apple sells separately. It’s a little expensive, but I love the feel of those keys, and they have just enough play in them that they feel more natural.
