Going to join others by saying I wouldn't want a higher resolution, and would actually prefer no camera. I got a new Dell Latitude last year, that when speced out, is probably in line with the Macbook Pro lineup, and it has similar camera specs.
This is quite amazing...Wish I could afford it.
In that case why don’t they have a back facing camera with three lenses and a flash just in case someone wants to take a picture on vacation with their MacBooks? I guess they should also have an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a gps chip just in case I need to use it for directions....

No, these vulnerabilities potentially let userspace code escalate privileges, which could lead to ransomware or credential exfiltration. Stealing bank account passwords clearly does damage, and various governments have paid ransoms on the order of $100,000 to recover encrypted files.

I’d argue that side-channel attacks are less of a problem in the server space because servers generally don’t download untrusted code from the internet and execute that code blindly (assuming you aren’t running other peoples’ VMs).
Well, OK, but it hasn't since I've had it.

A few years ago I saw a video on YouTube of a developer at Microsoft who lived in a yurt in rural Montana or Idaho. Seemed to work pretty well for him and his girlfriend. Though they never said it, I got the feeling that they did sometimes go into town for a bandwidth run now and then, probably for large uploads.

If I'm not mistaken 5G is line of sight. If so, might be more useful in flat areas than up in the mountains though repeaters could make that work.

Diamonds are generally boring unless you're into fluorescent minerals. Then, depending upon their inclusions, diamonds can take on an insane array of colors under a UV light. That white diamond suddenly turning cherry red can be quite the pleaser. But most people don't know that about a diamond, and insist on flawless stones instead, which tend to have practically no character.
There was no tax liability, no taxes owed. That’s where the “based entirely in fiction” part comes from. States do not have lawful authority to invent nonexistent tax liabilities and seize property in any amount they make up, which is what Indiana attempted here.

Chase charged me $150 to rubber-stamp an illegal seizure of my account. They were entrusted with the funds and they seized them on behalf of a third party which had no legitimate claim to them.

Sounds like Chase stole my money—and charged me to do it.
It really is a testament to how "great" design can handicap great products. It's 2019. Computer makers have been designing electronic keyboards for close to 50 years. Typewriter keyboards have been around since the 1870s. For a century and a half we've been designing and building ways of getting alphanumeric characters from brains to machines.

Apple is one of the most valuable companies in history building hardware that a large portion of the professional computer user workforce use on a daily basis. For them to make such an egregious error as shipping fatally-flawed keyboards should teach us two things:

- Humility. We can all make big mistakes and shouldn't rely on track record to assume that everything we're doing now is the right thing.

- Focus. Shifting its focus to design at the expense of human factors cause Apple to make a colossal blunder.

This move back to a better keyboard, along with the Mac Pro (for what it's worth), are hopefully signs of Apple listening to some of its most important -- and seemingly neglected -- customers.
I am surprised Google hasn't started Business Card similar to Amazon Business Card (5% cash back on AWS and Amazon Purchases). Businesses that use Google Ads (and Google Cloud) are far higher compared to who maintain a business account on Amazon.

Originally FPGA evolved from programmable logic devices. An EPROM is probably the most widely used example of a PLD. Partially because of this there are a lot of projects in SDRAM designs out there.

Usually if you need extremely fast i/o in the nanosecond order of magnitude then FPGA designs are a common design choice. An example of this are GPON network switches.

As mentioned in another comment video processing or any signal processing where the algorithms benefit from high parallelization is also an application where an FPGA would be a good fit.

The caveat though is that often FPGA/ASIC development is expensive and slow so a recent trend is to have a System-On-Chip with an FPGA area and multicore Microcontrollers. The idea with this is a hybrid design so that you can have an RTOS dealing with functionality where speed is not as critical. And have a custom design on an FPGA that is responsible for whatever bespoke application you need and have some memory interface between the two.
Yes.

In a previous job I had set up a notebook to analyze some of the models our team produced - it was essentially a Q/A notebook that generated data from our models, algorithmically looked for unphysicalities in our models, and plotted any it found.

The rest of my team used it for the models they were working on. The alternative/old way was just too painful (lots of manual steps).

But although reuse by others is a touted feature, it's not really that important. It's incredibly useful for one's own workflow. Think of the convoluted Excel sheets people often have at engineering companies. They get new data, copy and paste it into Excel, and get new plots. This is no different.

>Knowledge, education, communication, art, work: all of these are much easier to obtain outside of cities now, and that has massively factored into why our current "future" has allowed that demographic shift into the suburbs to continue.

This is really underselling the simple fact that our federal dollars still heavily subsidize suburban development at the expense of urban amenities and development patterns. Most of the rapidly growing cities haven't actually built any expansions of transit capacity or coverage since they hit their growth spurts over the past few decades, and the housing supply hasn't kept up either. If it's functionally illegal to build urban capacity you're not going to get urban development. It's a much simpler story than grandiose tales about how the internet obviates the need for human interaction.

Why would you have a separate screen under the normal screen? At that point you might as well just extend the normal screen half an inch down and have it there, like an android nav bar... Until people will complain that they want that space for normal usage... Besides, I think that bezel is needed for the backlight and structural integrity. Also, I don't find it comfortable to look at the very bottom of the screen, it's basically the same imo as the very top of the keyboard.

Amazon sells so many counterfeit Nike products that I've been using Nike and Adidas' online stores for quite awhile.

Amazon is so bad when it comes to counterfeits that there are only two conditions that will lead me to purchase an item there anymore:

- Either the item is listed as being sold by its original manufacturer and fulfilled by Amazon

- Or I just need something and don't care if it's cheap Chinese crap

I'm sure with Nike officially leaving Amazon this will only get worse. But practically any other big brand you're still looking at paying full price for knock-off merchandise. I can't believe Amazon gets away with having their "head in the sand" to this degree.

Are you arguing that the NYPD in its entirety adds no value to quality of life in NYC?

New York city has been home to organized crime in the form of the mafia and gangs, boasted a huge murder rate in the middle of the 20th century, and is the frequent target of terror threats (literally the stated target of terror groups in their own words). Yet, the NYPD adds no value?
It sounds like you aren't considering the possibility that Indiana did not have a legitimate reason to confiscate the money, such as a numerical error on a tax form, which has happened to me.
Abandoning speculation entirely is too much. If you just go to in order with a reasonable pipeline length nobody has yet figured a way to smuggle out speculative state on something like an ARM A53. That means giving up performance but only a factor of 4 or so. Giving up speculation entirely would mean an order of magnitude larger performance loss.
Re: things that aren’t possible with Fn-keys:

Making scrubbers for audio/video (more) physical is nice, since scrubbing video with a mouse usually requires that you first move the mouse to wherever the video player puts its scrubber, and scrubbing with the keyboard usually requires multi-key combos and always has the “wrong” granularity. (It’s also helpful in that you can now combine this scrubbing in a gesture with mouse movement, e.g. picking up a clip from your library in iMovie, scrubbing through the timeline to scroll it to the right position, and then moving the mouse over to the timeline and dropping it. That’s basically an impossible gesture with mouse-movements alone; you’re left to hover the clip over the scroll-edge of the timeline and wait for it to accelerate its scrolling [and then usually overshoot].)

Come to think of it, Sublime Text and other IDEs with a minimap could display it (rotated to horizontal) on the touch-bar, and let you scrub on it, too. Do they?
Paying or intimidating for votes is retail corruption. Changing the votes somewhere post ballot is wholesale corruption.

"Zero-burden-of-proof state government edict" describes the property tax bills every single homeowner gets in the mail and is expected to pay. Pay your taxes.
Urban parts of the US are subsidizing large rural areas. Almost all plans are 50 state plans, which means you're paying to install and maintain cellphone coverage for mostly corn fields or forests in the middle of nowhere.

Check out this map:

For costs to come down, you'd need people to adopt single-state or two/three state plans on the East/West coast. But starting such a network would be prohibitively expensive. For example an "only California" plan could likely be very inexpensive and comparable to Europe.
I think your story needs to include the specific city to be judged. Also what do you mean by urbanites? In DC, you can buy a 3 bedroom rowhouse not near downtown but near a subway for ~750K ~ 1M, which is basically the limit of what a two lawyer family can afford. In Baltimore, depending on how big you want your house to be and where, you can spend between 250K and 750K. I'm not as familiar with other markets.

Proposing nuclear power is an easy knee-jerk reaction. But it ignores a few critical facts. First, nuclear plants are impractical due to NIMBY and out-of-control building costs. Second, the pesky problem of nuclear waste has not been solved yet.

Women candidates, or engineers, are very far from random samples of the women population.

“You get to set mWordClockTime as part of the init”

While I’ve never had the pleasure of dealing with Core Audio, I’m getting the strongest impression that our problem is not that its API documentation is inadequate, but that its API was designed by a bunch of absolute hacks and bums.

In which case, asking for additional documentation is like asking for additional band-aids after severing your leg with an exploding chainsaw. Never mind for a moment the current bleeding; fundamentally you’re tackling the wrong problem. The right approach is first to make absolutely sure exploding chainsaws never get sold in the first place. Once that’s addressed, then worry about providing non-exploding chainsaws with adequate training and safety gear.

If the user has to initialize the struct directly then yes, the docs absolutely should state what values to use. However, unless there is some absolutely overriding reason for doing this then really, no, the right answer is to do what the old Carbon C APIs and Core Foundation do, which is to provide a constructor function that correctly populates it for them, and then document that. The documentation is shorter and simpler, and there is less to go wrong. Plus users do not need to write their own guard code—a massively pointless duplication of effort.

For instance, the LSLaunchURLSpec struct (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/lslau...) is a good example of a manually-populated struct with appropriate documentation.

But in most cases, when working working Carbon/CF you don’t need to know any of these details because the structs are initialized and disposed for you, and these functions all follow standardized naming conventions so are trivial to locate as well. This is Abstract Data Types 101, and shame on the CA PMs for thinking they’re special snowflakes and simply dumping all their shit onto their users instead, and shame on the dev managers above them for letting them do so.

..

Incidentally, this is why I always fight anyone who says developers are too busy/special/autistic/etc to documentat their own APIs. Yes, producing high-quality public documentation needs specialist technical writers and editors on top of (but not instead of) its original developers, but there is no better first test of the quality of your API design like being forced to explain it yourself. I know this; I’ve thrown out and replaced more than one working API design over the years simply because I found it too difficult or confusing to explain.

--

TL;DR: Don’t document Bad APIs. First make them into good APIs, then document that.

It shouldn't be impossible for Apple to offer models with and without. Let the market actually decide. Something tells me that if Apple produced exactly the same model of MBP, one with and one without, you'd see a huge preference away from the Touchbar. I could be wrong! But it would be good if users had the choice.
It doesn't, obviously, and I never said it did. It prevents the camera from being used to surreptitiously record useful information when a machine has been remotely compromised. It's the same reason nothing with a transmitter is permitted in classified areas without specific authorization. Preventing a remote takeover is effectively impossible, but these steps reduce the usefulness of such an action (which is part of the defense against them).
They can be, but they need not be. An empty bus, or nearly empty bus is not mass transit. Mass transit needs to run fixed routes, which is the opposite of what on-demand call apps give you. On demand buses have the annoying property of wasting your time by going to pick up someone else who isn't even on the way. Thus you won't ride one unless nobody else does (not mass transit) or you have no other choice (again not mass transit)
