I think the point was missed since this reiterates what I stated. The analogy isn't correct.

I have nothing against OS X but why switch if there's no justification other than for the sake of doing it (unless it's to satisfy your own interest, in which case: don't complain)?

Using the above analogy: why would I move from... NYC to HK if there's no reason to do so? Why push someone or promote a change from X to Y unless there's a justified rationale for it? Change for the sake of change isn't inherently justifiable in-and-of-itself.

Pushing OS X as being generically inferior (or superior) needs justification because I don't necessarily see it.

I'd want the touch bar to sit on top of the function keys, but I agree.

I also would be much happier if it was just easier to turn it off or if it at least made each touch action take 200ms or so so that I don't accidentally hit it all the time.
Had an unstable Asus board. We bought 3 in the company, got them all replaced - I think we got a slightly newer revision back. Same problem, watch video for 5-10 minutes and it would crash, despite temperature being fine.

Eventually I moved the processor to an Intel board (so yes, this is some years back, probably just before they stopped making them), and had no instability. The Asus motherboard was somehow incompatible with the processor, I guess.

So I didn't go with Asus last time I bought a motherboard, although I wouldn't be surprised if they're otherwise fine.

I remember at the time of its release, social media was pretty monolithic as well. All of my friends at the time thought it was a joke that the search engine company was trying to ape Facebook. Twitter was big, sure, but nobody I knew had one for socializing with people they knew, mostly just for following celebrities or news personalities. These days, Snap Chat, Instagram, and others have opened the field up more, so maybe if it had been released in that age people would have been more open to giving it a shot. Then again, it feels like privacy is much more in the zeitgeist, so maybe the idea of giving google access to even more of your life would be more laughable than it was previously.
This diagram makes perfect sense to me, it shows many counterexamples to possible subset relations and suggests some possible subset relations by lack of counterexample.

> Most devices (phones, tablets, TVs, laptops) don't have constant bezel width.

Some phones and tablets have varied bezel width because they are touch-screen devices that need to be held by their screens.

In my experience, most TVs and laptops have uniform bezel widths. Especially TVs since they are so commonly treated as furniture, and therefore receive a great deal of design attention. On laptops, an exception is often the bottom bezel, where you often will see some additional surface material.

I agree with GP that laptops should have uniform bezel widths to look their best. It's not a must-have, but a uniform narrow bezel is optimal for laptop aesthetics.
What makes those types of people less necessary tech workers than other types of tech workers?
I think that's part of this push, that Perl 6 is gonna become Raku, so that Perl 5 is just Perl again. Then I think Perl 11 is an aspirational interpreter/VM that will allow both to run, as was originally intended. I do see your point though.
I rebind it to backspace, as in the Colemak layout.

This works pretty great, especially since eg. ctrl + backspace (I don't know about Macs, does cmd + backspace work?) deletes the entire last word.

Without remapping the capslock you need both hands to execute this shortcut, which makes it much less practical.
> Death penalty exists, but it is rare.

As an American, this attitude drives me nuts. "We don't kill that many people, and heck most of them are even guilty!"

Regarding "loaded guns exist, but they are not common." Again, this is the same attitude of "Even though we have a mass shooting every week, all in all it's not that much." Even if my chances of getting murdered in public are lower than, say, a car accident, the fact that we now teach preschoolers active shooter drills says something sad about our country.

Thanks. I strongly suggest constructive competition which will benefit all of us. In addition to that, I also suggest that somebody can have a high order review of how the dispute evolved so a better protocol can eventually developed to make an eco-system healthier.

I’m not an expert on this topic so apologies if this is a basic question. Isn’t it annoying / time intensive / costly to rely solely on cloud GPUs when trying to learn or have hobby projects in ML? Is it really so practical that a local GPU has no value?
Julia and Swift are different enough that there is benefit in having both with that functionality. Julia is a dynamic and heavily interactive language (especially when it improves more JIT latency and "time to first plot") for exploratory analysis (like what Python provides) and development without compromising performance in any step, with strong focus on HPC/Distributed computing.

Swift has some interactivity, but it's core execution strategy is to create static binaries to be deployed in mobile and desktop, with much better support for high quality end user interfaces (especially in apple devices).

While as a researcher and mostly linux developer I will probably not use Swift, I can easily see situations in which Swift would be the clear choice given both Zygote and Swift for Tensorflow equally mature, even when Julia's scientific computing support is much broader.

> Edit: this May be unfair to Julia

Can’t understate this enough. Ultimately there is a trade-off being made between end user applications and numerical computing. Julia is surely superior when it comes to numerical computing. It has a super scientific stack and multi-dispatch means it is easy to mix and match these.

Of course there is no reason why Julia can’t evolve a similarly good ecosystem for webapps and other end user front ends. It is after all a _general purpose programming language_ which happens to have native numerical support.
All they really had to do was find a way to make the keys more easily removable. The butterfly mechanism is really nice when it works, but when a single key can stick and there is no easy way to clean / replace it so you have to replace the entire cop case which is insane.
Same problem, I have to essentially disable it to make a Macbook-with-Touchbar usable.

Go to its settings, disable per-app configuration so it always stays the same, then, from whichever part of it you accidentally brush most often (for me it's the right half or so) replace everything with a "spacer" element, so it's blank.

You can still use the function toggle to see your F-keys if you need them.

I also have to disable the force-sensitive functionality on the touchpad or I can't reliably perform drag-n-drop operations. Took me way too long to figure out what was making that happen.

IOW I have to disable all the fancy new hardware "features" on modern MBPs to make them usable. And god, is #DongleLife ever even worse than I expected it to be.

Hey all,

As an engineer and manager of teams for years, it’s gotten continually harder to manage incoming distractions from Slack messages.

I constantly get pinged in the middle of an important Zoom call, or when I’m deep in the flow working on some complex code refactor. Yeah, I could shut down Slack entirely - but it’s a negative signal to my team and I like popping into conversations when I’m taking a break. Slack Do Not Disturb should solve my problems, but I always forget to turn it on.

So, I built a way to do it all automatically.

Holopod (https://holopod.com) is a Mac desktop app that detects whitelisted Mac and Web applications and triggers a status change based on the current app you are using.

To signal you’re ready to work and online you are marked as “At My Desk”. Other statuses are “On Call”, “In the Flow”, or “in a meeting”. These are all customizable.

To pre-answer some questions you might have:

- We don’t track time on specific apps, only status changes are submitted up to Slack.

- We are free for now, as we’re still learning how best to deliver value.

- Yep, we are Mac only but are looking for early testers on Windows or Linux.

Would love your thoughts!

> But being a mental wreck along the lines that PTSD is often portrayed very clearly would negatively impact your reproductive success.

There are plenty of people with PTSD who have families (particularly, kids). Our reproductive age begins really, really, really early and our reproductive drive is incredibly strong. I don't know why mental illness like PTSD would in any way impact our ability to procreate as a species or at an individual level. It might make life more difficult and life might be filled with more suffering, but we're able to procreate under all kinds of bizarrely sub-optimal conditions.

Estate sales.

I see used jewelry for sale at small shops, festivals, pawn shops, and flea markets. It's really likely that any small town with a used bookshop also has a used jewelry store. The ones I've been to sell a variety of other pieces as well.

I think the OP is getting at the fact that people don't buy used jewelry from randos off of Craigslist. That doesn't mean there's no market for used jewelry, just that people are much more comfortable buying from a store or vendor, probably due to perceived reputability and maybe the fact that they may not immediately realize that it's used. This is especially true with pawn shops, where they may sell wholesale jewelry along side their walk-in acquisition pieces.

Also anecdotal:

My desktop is still running smoothly on its Asus mobo from 2014 (I believe it was the Z97-P but I'm not home at the moment to double check). No fancy RGB LEDs, but I haven't shopped for one in a while so that may be harder to accomplish now. Not sure.

I buy the number of shoes per year that I'm going to buy and I'm going to buy them first based on a value calculation that considers things like their price and my expectation of their longevity and secondly based on whether or not I'm contributing to business practices that externalize costs of my purchase to others. I will forever opt out and unsubscribe from anything I can, and furiously report spam for the remainder.

Who are these people that, having bought some sneakers already, get a email about other sneakers into their nearly bottomless inbox full of junk (presumedly, given they don't avoid these kinds of marketing messages) will actually notice it amongst the noise and then actually be compelled to buy additional shoes they wouldn't have otherwise (and therefore apparently didn't need)? Certainly they exist in some number, because they show up in optimization dashboards I've built for my clients, but what portion of the market are they, truly? Is this reflective of a psychological disorder (perhaps the underlying cause of "hoarding" is a spectrum-type pathology)? Is optimizing for these customers's odd (and apparently self destructive) behavior the same thing as optimizing revenue in the total market or is it just a local optima that everyone's in a big hurry to to corner themselves in? Even if it was a true global optimum, is it ethical? Is this the microtransaction whale-hunt optimization race to the bottom that mobile games went through (and results in many such as myself avoiding participation in that market) in slow motion due to physical goods' slower cycles?

It seems like the observation that all known weird numbers are even is almost built-in to the definition of weirdness.

Having two as a prime factor is the single most effective way to increase the number of integer divisors, as it is the smallest integer that you can multiply by a larger prime to get a product different from both operands. If there is an odd weird number larger than 10^21, the first one found would probably be divisible by 3.

Finding the first primitive odd weird number seems like something you could put on a CV.
