Yes but that doesn’t mean other lines of code can’t be executing while waiting. The waiting isn’t truly blocking the entire application. Plenty of other things can be happening.

I mean, Groupon's still around too, but at ~10% of their IPO valuation. Is it possible WeWork will struggle along? Sure, although I have questions about what will happen with the $6bn of debt they declare in their S1.

But supposing they do, I see little reason to think they'll be a major player. I don't see anything stopping other rental companies from matching any innovations they've made. The same goes for major property owners. Some will stick with big chunks of space. But if there's a 30% premium for being flexible, providing desks, etc, the some of them will happily cut out the middleman.

A dear colleague died of a heart attack a couple months ago. His Apple Watch didn't save him. He collapsed at work.

The Apple Watch is very explicit about not being a panacea, and currently only advertises detection of a specific kind of arythmia or elevated heart rate. Note that the original comment mentioned that fall detection was probably the trigger.

I'm still pretty angry at the universe about my colleague's sudden death. I just want to temper expectations about what the Watch can or cannot do.
Not OP, but for personal email I've noticed the utility of email has gone down and down for me the past few years. I've got more spam/junk, 90% of my other traffic is automated bills and newsletters I get, etc, and an ever dwindling amount of friends keeping in touch via email. There seemed to be a progression from email->fb->whatsapp,snap,IG,etc-> .....?/i'm too old to keep up with the lastest communication these days. Most of my social convos have regressed 15 yrs and are again mostly just texting, even for photo sharing....

Now email in professional life is a different story, and is 100% mandatory, but that's all in the enterprisy outlook world...
> Many of the bulging / exploding batteries were not in the end apple.

This is incorrect. Apple issued a recall due to known issues with their own batteries! These are not 3rd party replacements.

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/15-inch-macbook-pro-battery-...

As I pointed out there's fairly simple ways for them to resolve this without these practices. No where did I suggest that the batteries don't work at all. The extents people go to on this site to defend Apple's shitty anti-consumer behavior is utter insanity.
I’m curious how they do competitive analysis. They want to be faster than gmail but how do they measure? I tried to take a high-speed video of gmail navigating from thread list to thread but it was not conclusive. Gmail collects a ton of client-side timing data and I wonder if anyone has ever just intercepted that.
Note that the patent's Publication Date is listed as November 17, 2016. So we shouldn't read into this that Apple still thinks that they should keep going thinner and thinner. Hopefully they have heard loud and clear that people want a keyboard that has adequate travel, and this tech will therefore never see the light of day.

For the record, I have a 2017 MBP and agree with all the anti-butterfly sentiment voiced here.

I like the Apple watch fine, I had the Series 0 and also bought a Series 4. I never use them because I love my mechanical watch and you just look like a massive idiot wearing two watches.

Bummer really. Would love an Apple watch in a form-factor where it can complement a watch.
Hypergolics are bad. Lots of the high ISP chemicals are things you just don't want to be around. The foam they spray to treat fire risk when things go boom (PFOA) is fat absorbed. We have a huge emerging problem in Australia in land near airports, from the runoff contamination of years of "set a plane alight and practice putting it out" behaviuors.

This virgin-steppe has now been rained on, semi continuously by rockets for years. Sure, at one level we're all aware of radiation hormesis and a small amount of what may kill you is no big deal. I suspect a 50+ year window of scavenging left over propellant tanks, shedding insulation, odd metals, bits, stuff, has not done anyone any favours. In aggregate this will be lost in noise. In point-problem terms in the specific areas, This is basically industrial contamination.

In the west, you probably wouldn't be allowed to build on it un-remediated, and I don't mean because "heavy metal things fall out of the sky on you" -The land itself is now not really a green field any more.

Sounds like asus is a step closer with a dual screen model and a screen on the touch pad.
There are some HUGE benefits to this type of architecture (services + lambda where required) for large corporations, the main one being an insane reduction in a bunch of worthless crap that you no longer have to do:

- OS version patching, patch windows & outages, change mgmt relating to patching and reporting relating to OS patching

- antivirus, the same patching management and reporting as above

- intrusion detection / protection, host based firewalls, the same patching and management as above

- Other agents (instance health monitoring, CMDB, ...)

- Putting all this junk on a clean OS image any time something changes, re-baking and regression testing everything

This all adds up, and can be a significant cost to an organisation - team(s), licenses, management, etc.
I'm honestly the biggest Apple fanboy — I have all the newest gadgets and I use literally every one of their products, and have been for the past several years. However, this is one thing that upsets me. The MacBook doesn't need less ports, it doesn't need to be thinner.

I understand the thinning of the MacBook Pro from the 2012 model to the 2015 model (which is what I currently own, and in my opinion is the best Mac). But I definitely don't think it needed to get any thinner or lighter than that, especially if it's sacrificing ports or a good keyboard.

IMO the 2015 MacBook Pro is the best Mac out there, mainly because of its beautiful retina display, perfect weight, and most importantly, a good keyboard.
Very much so! The combination with an endorphin rush is pretty nice afterwards too.
Recent Garmin watches and cycling computers also have "incident detection" and can automatically send an alert to your emergency contact(s) after a fall. (I don't think any current Garmin models will directly dial 911, though.)
It doesn't seem like that is the problem with Apple's keyboards. It's Tim Cook not knowing the difference between aesthetics and the qualities that give a product an overall "high end design" feel. You know, like, how it is to actually use it.

The bean counter issue is causing them to leave out the extender part of the power cord and the basically required USB hub with all the ports that "Pros" need.
Professional bloat-maker here. I doubt it. I want my software to be reasonably lightweight but I've literally never thought about what the user's computer upgrade path might be.

As long as it runs well on anything newer than 5 years old, I'm happy. This captures enough users without requiring me to go to great pains to get the remaining, much harder hardware/software setups.

People may read that and hate it, but the reality is I have deadlines to meet, demanding bosses, and a never ending queue of features and bugfixes. I suspect a lot of folks are in the same boat.

Ok so it needs to replace the bundle - I feel Apple should add support for replacing binary A with binary B if A and B has the same signing key, although obviously there are a bunch of fun issues involved, I think that case shouldn't necessitate an update service running as root :-/

The general problem is that it's still easier for developers to say "disable SIP by doing ..." without saying "we haven't written our [drivers/application/whatever] properly", rather than just writing the software properly. Which you know is possible because even in kernel driver land you hardly ever see driver's claiming that it's necessary.

e.g. its necessary from an end-user PoV but only because companies don't want to pay devs to put effort into working with SIP enabled when there's a much cheaper "tell the user to disable security" option available.
I bought a virtex 5 board to fuck around with just a few weeks ago. I probably won't do much at all with it that I couldn't do with a boring old microcontroller but I'm having a blast. Maybe it truly is the year.

Apple bricked my series 0 by requiring a software update to activate the watch, and by not providing any watchOS versions still compatible with the series 0.
>...I can fire him. I mean, obviously I need to go through the proper HR procedures, follow local employment law, respect the terms of his contract, etc., but I have no obligation to keep him employed if I think he's a net negative to my company. Arguably I have an obligation to not keep him employed. And I certainly have no requirement to wait until he has been convicted of a crime; it's not even clear any of the above is a crime.

This would be a valid comparison if the company in question were receiving massive amounts of federal funding, in which case, I would say yes the accused _does_ have a reasonable expectation of fair treatment. Why? Well the accused is also paying for the regulatory system in question.

It's not really possible to deny that these universities receive "massive amounts of federal funding" either, considering that receiving federal funding is the explicit motivation of performing these title IX tribunals in the first place.
Yeah, definitely. A bunch of thoroughly dickish moderation persuaded me to never contribute content again. And honestly, I'm done doing free labor for for-profit companies.

Apple watch seems to be a decent device but not supporting android means it's not an option for most of us.

From TFA, which I quoted in another subthread:

All async functions are functions, so not really.
Using the more restrictive construct until you actually need additional features (like identifier rebinding) is just engineering 101.

I think the onus would be on you to prove that using a less restrictive concept is worthwhile because it saves you two keystrokes. That, in contrast, seems like the opposite of good engineering. Like using classes over structs because class is shorter to type.

The more I think about your post, the more absurd it becomes.

Not to be that guy, but what bugs have you experienced in XFCE? I've been using XFCE since Fedora 14. With the recent upgrade to Fedora 30 (from 28), I noticed they addressed my only beef with the environment by adding a greatly-improved GUI for managing multiple displays. It can save profiles for work vs home displays and (almost always) toggles between them correctly.

That was the only Linux pain point for me, having to manually toggle out of multi-screen mode after unplugging an HDMI cable. Obviously, that was some kind of kernel thing and not an XFCE-specific bug (I think?), but even the native XFCE tooling has improved in the last few years, despite the lack of a newsworthy major version release.

Fedora has been my daily driver for 8 years now. It keeps getting better. The last flaky distribution, for me, was Fedora 19, released in the summer of 2013! (Here, flaky is described as "difficult to get working the way I wanted" and "occasionally would do something weird and force me to reboot it to fix the problem")
Obviously they could have a consensual and transparent updating mechanism. This was not some sort of oversight.

Google's software is a cascade of lies and deceptions.

Think about this: when you start to tamper with Keystone agent, it never says anything to you, it just silently reinstalls itself somewhere else like spyware.

It will keep asking over and over for root access, without explaining why. They make it seem like your installation is incomplete without root access, but that is a lie. It will function fine running out of ~/Library/ as /Library. But there is no way to make it stop asking.

Google Earth, Google Drive, or many other Google products will re-install Keystone agent.

If I try deleting it, then that means I probably want it gone. They should prompt me to repair it or leave it alone.

You would think that Google would want to show off their updater. Even just a growl notification that an update has occurred.

But it makes sense why they don't want users thinking about it. If they were more transparent, they would say:
We've installed this software that will monitor your filesystem and make irreversible changes whenever we feel like it. Sometimes we will break things, but most of the time we won't and if we do break something, we will fix it. It is possible to disable, but you will have to search for it, because you will never discover it yourself. Oh, we could just have a checkbox in Preferences, but we want to make you work for it. And all you are doing is requesting that we stop updating, but we'll still be running.
Regarding strategy, I was suggesting that the man file a Title IX complaint before the woman does, just in case.

It could also be pursued as a consciousness-raising campaign.

And what you say about avoiding what you "can't defend later" seems disingenuous. Because from TFA, I gather that there's typically no mechanism for making a defense.
Search isn’t name match. E.g. search for “video” and YouTube will be returned.
Please don't do that though!
I could believe that we have a lot of unused space which is amenable to a different overlay use, but the potential for mis-design is huge here. If I pay high IOPs cost and you have to replace my high IOPS data backend on my paypoint, migrating the low paypoint secondary customer is non-trivial if not designed in day one (I am sure you did: cheap players might not understand the risk exposure here)

The telco equivalent was ISDN, where a single linecard with two sub-rate ports might be sold to a bank, and a domestic user. The bank could (and would) demand card reset 24/7 to restore service to their ATM, the domestic user simply lost carrier, and game state.
Ok, what should we use?

I think its their way of saying the phone is designed to be usable without traditional cellular network access:

"A No-Carrier Phone?

WiFi calling and VoIP calling will be able to be provided in WiFi or data plan modes. We expect to offer call-out, and call-in with phone numbers in all of these plans as well. If you still require a “traditional” phone number through a carrier and want to make unencrypted phone calls or messaging, it will be an option you can choose, but is not required (we recommend avoiding unencrypted phone calls)."

Its still a bit of odd phrasing, as most everything on an LTE connected phone is also IP-native.

> I’m sure most engineers on the team feel awful.

There is no legitimate reason for a user-space install to manipulate system directories. So for an install to do so, there must have been an conscious decision made and code written to make real.

Therefore, for this system manipulation to have both been introduced and released, "most engineers on the team" either raised no problems with it or did not consider the implications of this decision.

> But for the time being, let’s let engineers do their job?

They did their job, which resulted in the release of this system destabilizing product.

Perhaps the job they should have done was to consider their work product be one which did not assume complete control of the machine onto which it runs?

You absolutely could. The rootfs is read only so what you can do is limited. Kubernetes also landed support for ephemeral containers in 1.16: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/277. It still needs more work but the idea is that you will be able to attach a debug container (you image of choice) to a pod on the fly.
