This is one of the reasons I didn't buy any new MBP after 2016 anymore.

I was so unsatisfied with many changes ranging from the keyboard disaster to the loss of ports that are still industry standard and used every day for some years to come.

Probably this is the start for Apple to find back to some quality and say goodbye to strange experiments. Users should feel good using a device and not pay a lot of $$$ to become Beta-Test Lab Rats.
I don’t know, groups seem more prone to short-term thinking than isolated individuals. Groups tend to be stuck in a local maximum, whereas an independent individual can more easily make a broad survey of existence.
Recent Radiolab podcast talks about the one and maybe only benefit of IQ testing is geographic screening of toxins. For example, lead paints and lead as a fuel additive cause over a large sample a cumulative drop in IQ of 4 points. The statistics actually were the way this negative health effect was discovered in 1979. Testing for lead in the body that has replaced calcium isn't otherwise easy test (requires bone sample, or cleverly, kids' baby teeth).

> When I grew up snow was an expected part of winter. It was rare to have a year without a snowfall of any kind.

Same here, but some winters were without snow. The catch is, I grew up in the 70's, which were an unusually cold period. My grandparents grew up in the 20's and 30's and they'd had it much warmer in their childhoods.

Well, on the 16" they improved the thermals as well (2nd biggest complaint for the previos 15"), put a much more powerful GPU (3rd major complaint) and more storage for the same price and finally put a bigger battery which I'm sure everybody likes.

Apple will certainly upgrade the 13" model as well next year, maybe moving to a 14" format.

They really wanted to release this 16" sooner because the 15" was by far the most criticized one and they wanted to show to the "Pro" market that they're still there.

In a sense, if the resolution is high enough. One notable limitation of the angular-pixel approach is that the angular resolution of the pixel becomes diffraction-limited as the pixel size shrinks - the puts you between a rock and a hard place with the twin goals of "small enough pixels that you can't see them" and "enough viewing angles that you can't perceive the steps", even if you had a hypothetical umpteen-zillion gigapixel display. "True" holograms are coherent across their entire surface, so they don't have this limitation.

This isn't even close, though. Horizontal parallax only and only a few dozen angles (over a wide FOV!) puts it more in the territory of lenticulars than true lightfield displays. To be fair that is enough to achieve a 'wow factor', and a true lightfield display is a Hard Problem (that Fovi3d are trying to solve, if you're interested in the state of the art).

We talked to a lot of teachers, and it's a real problem going from block based programming to syntax heavy scripting - there's a chasm there which from a teaching standpoint is sometimes tricky to breach and keep students engaged with.

We've gone for a different approach with Construct 3 which is so far resonating well in education, by mixing our block based programming system with Javascript itself helping to smooth the transition:

https://s1.construct.net/images/v721/refresh/features/learn-...

The above example is a mix of block based and Javascript, but it can go all the way to making games with pure Javascript in script files - we're hoping to cover the transition in education from between Scratch and other tools such as Unity. There's a big gap there.
I read the parent post as suggesting that the appropriate "acting" cues and emphasis might be explicitly annotated in the text just as the intonation and punctuation in normal text.

However, I'd guess that it's simply quicker and more efficient for someone to just properly act and speak the lines with a dramatic effect and any explicit annotation of how exactly they should be said takes much more time and effort.
Well that's simply not true. Even if you want to ignore that one, there's plenty of other articles and books exploring the topic.
This comment is randomly bashing Apple for not acting ecologically while suggesting that alternatives are somehow better. Apple can and should be criticized for shitty environmental behavior when you can actually back up your claim.

Not that there would be any proof in the comment, no. For example, how do Lenovo, Samsung or Dell handle this stuff and can you explain why their approaches produce less waste? Of course not, but let's put some hate into the HN comment section!

A centrally managed maintenance process where Apple hardware is managed and its waste properly disposed off (recycling, proper sorting of waste, secure handling of toxic materials...) vs. risks like customers putting Li-Ion batteries into their home trash causing landfill fires. And throw the left-over SSDs and RAM right into the mix as well.

No, it's just about hating on Apple without any evidence or data to back it up. Mimimi Apple ecologically bad but I won't tell you why or how others are evidently making it better!

Perceptiveness is not empathy, or else we wouldn't need another word for it. Hatred and empathy are not on the same ends of the emotional spectrum.

That documentation indeed could be improved, but I guess the intention here is that basic usage is learned from the tutorials. Though it's possible to figure from that documentation alone as well (I'm reading it for the first time too, but using Haskell often): Path construction collects types of arguments into xs, then HVectElim (heterogeneous vector eliminator, or maybe "elimination") unwraps it into an appropriate function type. xs are those types, ps is PathState, st usually stands for "state".

A dumb web "Hello, world!" can be written with just putStr though, using CGI (along the lines of what I've mentioned in another comment here). Or perhaps with Network.CGI ("cgi" package), which is quite a bit more straightforward than that RouteSpec, especially if one wants to quickly understand how it works.

I had a similar experience (wanting to use a language for something useful, but mostly failing to) with Rust, and maybe Python (just s/wanting/having/ in that case), but I guess the problem with that was primarily in trying to find out what's the "right"/idiomatic way to do something while there's none, or to apply practices from other languages. And maybe in not having a suitable project idea at the time. Most likely there can be more reasons of that, but they seem to go away with practice, clear goals, and/or motivation.

That depends. The EU is already implementing a right-to-repair law for appliances, it will only be a matter of time until this is extended to electronic devices such as laptops and smartphones.

> totally irrational idea

Could you expand on why it is a totally irrational idea? Seems pretty rational to me. But then I'm not really a mathematician.

> autoconversion to floating point when you hit a 2^64 denominator

Please note that this is after normalization. And it has come from practicality: having the denominator also be an BigInt, slows down the use of the Rational number significantly. However, if you do need that type of precision, then you can by using infectious FatRats: any expression with a FatRat, will result in a FatRat (unless explicitly coerced to something else, of course).

With regards to the Zero-denominator Rats: they are just special cases just as IEEE has special cases for -Inf, Inf and NaN. So what's the problem there?

Interesting that they speculated that it was an algorithm that was trained by comparing a manually drawn map with imagery. US cities are all fairly uniform as they are pretty much all based on a grid, but they vary in colour significantly from Oregon to Arizona. I wonder what level of granularity they would need to go to in Europe? Is London different enough from Paris that an algorithm trained on Paris would not work London? In Britain you would need to recognise different cultural structures that you wouldn't necessarily get in Paris, one example is many British parks have a raised up circular bandstand for a local brass band. So they probably need to recruit quite specific people for each locality.

Not trying to be cynical here because I also would prefer a MBP that was more serviceable/repairable, but all these discussions about how repairability impacts the environmental cost of these devices are IMO extremely contrived.

How many (in percentage terms) of laptops will ever need repairs, how many of those will actually be repaired (as opposed to consumers just deciding to buy something new, even if repair would be relatively easy and cheap), and then finally, what percentage of these defective laptops will actually been thrown away without any form of recycling? I'm pretty sure that if you do the math, in the grand scheme of things, these numbers will be utterly irrelevant except for HN talking points.

I would recommend spending public outrage about environmental concerns on areas where it really matters instead, such as e.g. food waste, plastic bags, energy efficiency etc. I'm pretty sure that even a tiny, tiny fraction improvement there would offset the environmental impact of the worldwide total of laptops that cannot or will not be repaired after they break down.
Because, in some sense, property owners are seen as irresponsible for letting these giant facilities rot in towns where people live, negatively impacting the local economy and well-being of everyone near it.

> This whole "Healthcare is better X" is a fallacy.

It's not. There are objective questions on which one can compare healthcare systems:

- do people end up bankrupt / needing a gofundme for medical events regularly? This comparison alone is enough to discard the US system, for example.

- do poor people have access to the same quality of healthcare as rich people do? In Germany, for example, dental care only covers "basic" implants/fillings that, while they do work, do not look very good.

- what is the median response time target from call to arrival of EMS?

- is staffing of careworkers in hospitals/hospices/elderly care adequate or is it regularly understaffed?

- do people of "undocumented", refugee or unemployment status have access to healthcare?

- does medical insurance require (absurdly large) co-payments?

- is medical insurance actually affordable for all persons eligible?

- does medical insurance pay for quackery (such as homeopathy)?

- is medicine (both OTC and prescription) affordable / covered by insurance?

> I.e. In Europe people will eat more produce and fruits simply because their Grocery stores are on every corner. In the U.S. Not so, even in major cities.

While I agree that this is a foundation that causes illnesses, I don't see this relevant when comparing healthcare systems. Health care should be compared on how those in need are attended to.
> It is quite possible that music has evolved as a mechanism of generating feelings that can be transferred to other things... and that original purpose has become obsolete.

I don't think it's obsolete at all - it's intonation.
Music is just hacking intonation perception.

How you say something completely affects its meaning. You use a different voice for happy news or sad news or serious things or loving things or sarcasm. A good actor could make the same phrase mean 100 different things.

I often think about this with voice recognition and claims of 99% accuracy. Yeah but it didn't get ANY of the intonation, and that's where most of the information was.

It exists already. Disney could just federate their logins to Google, for example, and all these problems are solved for them for free.

Note that both Google and Facebook have extensive infrastructures in place to detect and block password reuse based account hacking. Knowing the password is not enough to always log in to a Google account. In some cases the login process will ask you questions about your account or ask you to receive a code on your phone to verify authenticity. It's a bit like a heuristically triggered and thus easier form of 2FA.

Disney's problem here is that they have tried to make their own global federated account system but without much expertise in doing so. Tech firms have successfully fought off and blocked these attacks years ago.
