The theory is not that 'failing to buy over-priced jewelry is bad'. The theory is that buying high-priced jewelry is a stronger signal of commitment than buying cheap jewelry.

This is because, if someone is not comitted, it's easier to demonstrate commitment falsely to many people by purchasing large quantities of cheap jewelry. Buying over-priced items forces the person signalling committment to put their money where their mouth is.

Think of it as the cost of fake commitment; our culture of wedding-rings, etc, is an attempt to increase the cost of fake commitment.
Yeah, the feel of the butterfly mechanism is subjectively excellent. I can type faster on it than even my mech keyboard at home, which is a very impressive feat. But my MacBook is going in for its second keyboard repair in a year soon, so...

They're apparently ditching the butterfly keyboard in the next redesign. Bittersweet as someone who loves the keyfeel, but I guess it's for the best so here's hoping.
It's a common trope that inward facing organizations make critically bad decisions based on internal political factors while ignoring outside opinions and facts on the ground.
The worst part is that I can tell this keyboard is actually having a detrimental effect on my typing abilities. Since being on these keyboards for years now, I've noticed that my typing speed has slowed, as I spend a significant amount of cognitive energy preparing to fix mistakes. The faster you type, the more annoying it is to go farther back to fix something. I'm not sure how to quantify the focus it steals from tasks or the anxiety it gives me, but I think they are also real. Not to mention it is infuriating to see some strange spelling error that is completely the keyboard's fault in a message or email you sent, making you look like an idiot.

The thread from @getify ( https://twitter.com/getify/status/1165300052463480832 ) on having to wait 3 days for a repair, even though it is done in-store is truly infuriating. He is absolutely right that it makes no sense to have to leave a computer sitting around doing nothing, and you should just be able to be told to bring it back when your computer would be 24 hours away from being repaired. The computer isn't being shipped anywhere, but Apple must still severely hamper your productivity on a product you spent thousands of dollars on.

Their constant reference to a "small minority of users experiencing this" in light of these huge delays at the store for a super-quick and simple fix has become insulting. I won't register anywhere as someone "experiencing this issue" since I don't have 3 days to not use my computer for a fix that will probably break again in months.
I've been fighting my MBP15 keyboard for so long. Eventually I put a USB PC keyboard on my desk with a matching keyboard map.

Abso-fucking-lute bliss! I think my productivity has gone up literally 80%

India theoretically could have taken advantage of trade war. But for that to happen it needed 3 things:

1. Skilled workforce

2. Infrastructure

3. Rule of law

Present India lacks all 3 in one or the other way and indeed moving towards authoritarian government with shutting down internet at will, arresting people for post critical of govt or it's ministers [1] [2] [3] [4]. Looking at what's happening with economy, fudging economic numbers, large young unemployed youth, faltering manufacturing sector. These are ticking timebomb.

Obviously the major beneficiary has been south east Asia, especially Vietnam. Not sure India can take advantage.

In my case my wife was a scientist - so a man made diamond was perfect. Same thing physically, less likely to have a conflict origin. My advice, if you know your partner well - get something that works for them. For some that's a diamond.

Isn't this how google does _everything_??? (Or at least aims to...)
Google can't even get its own house in order. Working with web brokenness is all to do with Chrome monoculture these days. You have to make crazy workarounds even for electron-based apps.

A monoculture inherently creates fragility and inflexibility without the need to compete or collaborate.

Chrome removing ad blocker functionality is one reason why Mozilla is sorely needed.

Unfortunately, people don't realize that they are the product with Google, and ever more invasive spying will always the norm with them.

In US, you are free to eat beef. And some people have depression which is reportedly only gets better if they consume beef. You can Google "read meat+depression" to learn more. If you are in India, pretty sure it will be very difficult for anyone to follow that diet.

Where is freedom of speech in India? All these things are anti minority.
I'm always baffled when these pieces include a line that says "we follow the law." That's carte blanche to any regime. The first rule of law is that you break them when necessary. If you're not willing to defy something you think is evil or wrong why bother with a puff statement? CYA I guess.

As a member of the society you "own" it but you can't sell that to anybody. Demutualising creates a new public company with shares, which naturally go to those owners. The shares in a public company can be sold. The exact rules for how shares are divided among members would have been in the terms of the proposed demutualisation.

I can probably look it up but I received a not inconsiderable sum of money for my shares when I sold them many years later. I presume my parents sold and spent the money very soon after the plan went through. All members received shares (it would be obviously inequitable to propose that only those voting for the deal get shares if the vote passes, I'm not sure if that would be straight up illegal, but it would clearly be immoral).
I went with an XPS13 a couple years ago. Display is great (I'd say on-par with Apple), keyboard is far superior to the new MacBooks, touchpad is about 90% compared to MacBooks, and I'm pretty sure it's thinner. For sure the smaller bezel gives it a smaller footprint.

Battery life was pretty decent after autotuning power settings through powertop, too. Better than I'm getting on my current work-issued MacBook, at least.

Only real annoyance for me was the wifi, which would vanish off the face of the earth after resuming from suspend. But I was able to replace it with a $15 Intel, a tiny screwdriver, and some patience.
I haven’t seen anything even close.
I also dislike the keyboards, but it’s not quite enough to prevent me from buying one.

The real showstopper is that the keyboard is an almost certain failure point and fixing it means a multi-week wait. Losing my primary machine for such a long time would be a catastrophe. With Lenovo and Dell, I can easily add a 5 year next-business-day on-site service warranty—for the same price as AppleCare+. But AppleCare has no business-class warranty service options, just shitty mail-in service.

I bought a ThinkPad P1 recently. There was an issue with the touchpad I noticed as soon as I unboxed it. I called Lenovo Premier support, which has no wait time and no phone menu: calls are answered by a highly autonomous support agent (I believe in Florida) who can do whatever is needed to fix the problem. By noon the next day, technician was onsite and replaced the entire top half of the unit (equivalent to the MacBook keyboard repair).

Press print screen and it does... I'm not sure what?

I /remembered "Snipping Tool", so I searched for "Snip" and launched that, and it shows a menu that says like "Snipping Tool is deprecated, use Snip n Sketch" so you click that and a new app opens (but old one stays open as well) and you take your screenshot and then its open in a window that you have to go and save.

I know I'm biased because its what I'm used to for 10 years, but on Mac I just have the (insane) cmd + shift + 4 shortcut engrained that'll snip a part of my screen and save to my Desktop. It's just so much quicker than Windows.

re opening file: I miss Quicklook to make sure I have the right file selected. Also miss being able to drag a file into an open dialogue box to select it to open.
LE doesn't need a key if they can just break the door down. So all that's needed is a key escrow system set up to broadcast when a key is accessed, so unauthorized access can be prosecuted.

The 2015 MBP is great! I have a spare one stockpiled.

Edit: mostly unrelated: we're all taking issue with a book review.

I have a 2019 MBP and love everything except the keyboard. It's literally the only thing that holds it back from being the best laptop on the market in my opinion. Whatever sauce Apple puts into optimization and stability seriously pays off, because even with the garbage keyboard I still dropped $1300 for it.

I switched when the surface book 1 came out (now on a surface book 2) but man I still miss the customizable trackpad gestures I had on my macbook pro.

I feel like I've been seeing this trend as well. I've got an DELL XPS15 and I love it (4-5 years old now)ーgreat keyboard.

I'm clinging to my 2015 MBP until it breaks, and it scared me a few times recently. So I bought a backup x230 for ~$100 just in case, and loaded Pop!.

To be honest, I think I like Pop! better than OSX. I hadn't used linux distros before because I'm not trying to spend my time fiddling around with the OS, I want things to just work and get out of my way. Pop! does. It's got that miryokuteki hinshitsu. And the ability to use exactly the same packages as our ubuntu webservers has already helped me debug a buildpack issue.

I'll certainly consider supporting System76 when I'm next looking for a brand-new computer.

Taking a screen shot hard on Windows? Windows-shift-S lets you grab a region vs macbook's shift-command-3 or 4 or 5, or whatever it is (I don't currentlyy have a mac).

anyway, I will say that WSL is a lot better than what we had, but it's no where near as great as terminal working on the Mac. Maybe WSL 2.0 will be better. But I do miss my Mac tooling.
I'm more referring to quantity than quality. At that scale it's better to optimise for a lower false positive rate because your business isn't going to collapse if you miss a decent candidate.

They need to get rid of income taxes and GST.

Honestly, if they do not do this now - there will be nothing to tax in future.

Permits, licenses also need to be removed barring some sectors which include healthcare, education and food.

Also land is a big problem in India, government should overtake all the land and lease it out for good use and not allow any person or entity to own land. People seeing land as a store house of value is really bad thing!

Get done with import duties because this is making local manufacturers weak (use indigenous shoddy tools you end up with shoddy output), remove unfriendly rules which prevent foreign players from selling their expertise here.

Annex private gold holdings, it will be next big thing after demonetization. It will make the citizens more equal.

People should know if there is anyway to get rich is not by hoarding land or putting money in bank, but by starting business.

Great, will they be offering free trade-ins? These are $2000 computers that have a major broken component. Not to mention, the second a computer comes on sale that doesn't have this issue, the resale value of the current MacBooks will be disproportionately affected compared to previous revisions. So a nice double whammy: a miserable experience during its use, and an unusually small resale value afterwards.
I think he's asking if there's been any sort of demand from the HK government to the various ISPs to start implementing such a thing, which I'm unaware of. Looks like the HK ISP association is getting out in front of the entire idea and issuing a clear statement.

Anyone that's been watching HK for the past 20 years would find it obvious that the PRC government intends to slowly integrate it into mainland China, and absorb it into the same legal framework, slowly but surely. Eventual end state goal would be laws indistinguishable from across the "border" in Shenzhen.
I wish Thunderbird could store folder settings on server, via IMAP Properties extension... It is only thing I miss in Thunderbird.

I'm not big fan of laptops, so I have three Thunderbird installations for one IMAP account: at my home workstation, my office workstation and on my neglected Laptop for rare business trips. And it is pain in the ss to setup identities, retention policies, columns visibility and order and such for each folder three times.

Yes, I have a lot of folders (about 100) as I'm subscribed to many mailing lists and sort my personal mail in different ways.

Filters could be configured only once, on server, thanks to Sieve, but all other settings must be repeated again and again.
Generalising also, there definitely seems to be a strain of "Take what you can while you can" in mainland China too. One story I've heard a few times is of restaurants that had to stop putting out free breath mints or other items because while we know that social convention is that you take one if you need it, a Chinese customer will just tip the whole bowl into their handbag because it's free to take and you'd be a fool to leave it there.

I've known a lot of Singaporeans and their concept of 'kiasu' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiasu) is very similar, though I'm not sure if the origin of the behaviour is from China.
Snipping tool looks like something cobbled together for a capstone project compared to macos shift cmd 4 which doesn't get in your way at all.
> Press print screen and it does... I'm not sure what?

Copies it into the buffer, silently. No notification, nothing. Great UX.

In Ubuntu it's even better, it actually saves it as an image file (and does the annoying shutter effect). But the repeat key is not turned off... so if by any chance you hold it down by mistake, thinking it was the right ctrl, oh boy, you get a shitstorm of shutter effects and dozens of screenshots in the pictures folder. Very annoying. I don't know which I hate more, Ubuntu or Windows.
I never claimed it was "faster". Of course static types allow you to catch errors earlier in the process than without.

Whether or not that delta is worthwhile compared to a dynamically typed codebase with a well-optimized deployment/error detection system is not always clear however. Especially considering the costs of a static type system in limiting expressiveness compared to dynamic code and the mental overhead required when building abstractions that require layers upon layers of generics and higher order types to fully specify statically (library authors probably feel this pain the most).
A real coder. Heh guys we have a real coder here. He gets paid and everything!

Not a factor. I also know people that don't have a problem with the MBP keyboard, I also know many colleagues who are driven to distraction daily (myself included).
So they should start losing money? Should Google? Should Apple? I don't get this argument. And .Net Core being open source is enormous if you use it.

It’s not a single multi million mega pixel camera.
“ARGUS is essentially 368 five-megapixel smartphone cameras clustered together” That’s a 1,840 megapixel (1.85 gigapixel) camera which is not that extreme and in line with several of these images: https://petapixel.com/tag/gigapixel/

A lot of confusion comes because it’s a combination of multiple different cameras than capture wide angles, infrared, and a separate camera that can focus on areas of interest within the field of view. So, if the entire image was at maximum resolution you would get into insane territory, but that’s not how it works.
Unpopular opinion: I want a touch keyboard with incredible haptic feedback. Long-throw keys trigger my particular RSI symptoms the worst. If I could move my fingers even less and apply even less force than I need to on the butterfly keyboard, I would be ecstatic.
