I addressed why I don't think that's a sufficient solution in my comment.
Nearly everyone else in this thread is saying that their 16" MBP is fine. My roommate has one -- I'm not sure it's completely maxed out, but it's pretty hefty spec-wise -- and hasn't had any issues, either.

Personally, I just don't want a laptop that big -- I've always preferred the 13" models to the 15". So I'm waiting to see what happens with both the 13" MBP and the Air.
> For example, if the iPad could seamlessly view and edit files from, say, any SMB server as easily as it can from iCloud, I think that would get people excited.

This is actually an advertised feature of iOS 13, and I did get very excited about it when it was released last year. Unfortunately, it’s completely unusable; browsing a directory with more than 100 children or copying more than a few megabytes of data is likely to freeze or crash Files, and I’ve even managed to get the app into a broken state that can’t be fixed with an iOS reboot. The same applies to the USB drive “support.” Don’t trust anyone who tells you the iPad Pro is a viable laptop replacement if you need a working filesystem.
Mixed feelings on this one. Suggesting readers could “pay a visit” to the doctor isn’t cool, but is it really doxing if the info is publicly posted?

Regardless, I’ve followed ZH on twitter since the beginning back in the financial crisis when the site would occasionally post legitimate scoops, like early reporting on Lehman Repo 105 before it became a much larger story.

I haven’t visited the site in years except to read the response to being suspended, but I’ll miss the finance related tweets. They were entertaining, at least.
So if I'm a Senator/Congressman and Comcast came to me promising $500k for my re-election campaign if only I could help them slow down Google Fiber rollout in some town, is it illegal for me to agree? I mean, this is a bribe, isn't it?
I'm working on a sort of ancillary project which may help with this at Valyrio [https://valyr.io]

Counter-intuitively, the current goal is to centralize the messaging interface, providing a common platform for users who are willing to pay for a consolidated system that saves time and confusion, and to reduce the waste of niche use cases (e.g. having the entire [name here] messaging app on your phone because one weird family member or friend insists on using it)

Bringing email, text, and (aspirationally) all other messaging systems into one.

In doing this, we cannot possibly hope to uniquely integrate each of the countless hundreds of services with their weird quirks and formats, so I aim to establish a standardized language for async messages equipped with the basic common features and extensions for prevalent (but not universal) features like read receipts, "liking/reacting" to messages, etc

It would be really cool to open up that standard to the world if we do a good job of designing it, or collaborate with anyone else who wants to participate in this goal. Our core service will be a niche, paid, closed system, but the underlying language I would like to be open source and interoperable with whatever else turns out to develop (Twitter's new endeavor and Matrix are the two efforts I am most aware of)

After all, Valyrio means Language

I've also been working on an adjacent concept with [https://jwmza.com/polymath], which is a new comprehensive markup language meant to define long-term compatible, human readable documents and websites/document structures which intermix existing standards like (La)TeX, HTML, CSS, Markdown etc.

Perhaps the underlying language and concepts here will mix with the effort to decentralize messaging as well, as messaging is fundamentally the asynchronous bidirectional transfer of documents of mostly text and sometimes other media or information.

You say that as if you've completely abandoned the prospect of Europe defending herself. It's depressing at times seeing the state of affairs there, sure, but I think you'd be in the small minority of those who are this defeatist.

Perhaps these Africans will try to "move" to Europe. That much might be inevitable. But while many Europeans are currently in a state of fuzzy naivety propped up by the dwindling luxuries their ancestors afforded them, I suspect an invasion of that magnitude - and yes, by any rational definition, that's an invasion - will easily meet the threshold for the awakening of their survival instinct and a United defence of whatevers left of their once-great nations.
Apple is probably the most behind in charging tech right now. Wireless charging has been a thing in phones for 5-6 years now. Today's android phones have much faster and better charging methods than iphone. Both wired and wireless.

I've had some serious fan action on mine, and then about a week ago, the machine was seriously hot when I got home after my transit commute. Tried to take it out of my bag, but I couldn't. I literally had to get a pot holder to handle it. I was fearful I'd see melting or something when I opened it - but it quickly returned to normal.

Usb type c is a connector type. Not a protocol, you are able to run different protocol through the same physical line as long as both side understands it. PD, HDMI, miniDP, PCIE, earphone, and probably other device run through the exact same line with different protocol. And vendor is also allowed to add their own one. Apple also don't need to accept all protocols above except charging. What is the point to introduce new connector type every single time you want to add new compatibility? To earn more money from selling gadget?
Good performance, good portability, good thermals. Pick 2. It’s that simple, you can’t have all 3 no matter how much money you throw at the problem.
In the context of docs/"runbooks", my point is you're not saving anything by doing that instead of scripting. You're going to pay for it in the long run when the docs quickly drift out of date and then people stop trusting them, and the docs have limited value anyway because they're just going to ask for your help in person instead 90% of the time (because that's 10x more effective).

Scripts can have similar problems, but they're rapid and testable, so far easier to maintain their integrity.

Where judgment is needed, i.e. unique cases, the runbooks won't help much anyway, and its up to the tech lead to work out why that problem happened once they've fixed it, and then either modify the system, or add a new script to fix that particular new problem if it arises again.

So, after a day nothing but "this is the way it is" comments I gotta say: this is not acceptable.

I've been pondering this issue for over a decade. I think the general attitude is partially right: we can't do anything about troll postings. But we can create incentives for troll (meaning nonconstructive) comments in online discussions to funnel together while non-troll conversations seeking literally any goal have incentive to maintain their conversations through something similar to the "like" mechanism.

The basic idea is rather than a single comment and reply widget for online articles and posts, the "comment reply" widget has an "attitude indicator" that declares "this post is in this attitude". Others give the post a +/- rating for how well it fits the attitude.

It is a simple mechanism that alters how online discussions are handled. It has to be simple, or it will not be adopted. The change could be significant, enabling a diversity of on-topic conversations. Just pick your attitude, your sub-culture and talk with birds of a feather. Whereas no serious conversations can take place online today without random trolls stomping on everyone's china - all because we have a single reply widget funneling all voices together into a troll happy mess.

Anyone else thinking of possible solutions?

I think the web used to be much more diverse, or rather heterogenic. Communities really differed a lot. They still can, but now there's this thing that has shifted from the TV and print media to the web in full: the public opinion.

In the past 10 years the public debate and public consciousness has finally been transfered to internet. Mostly because of social media. And while doing this, the "public" has changed from a moderate and gate-keeping environment of the press and TV networks, to something more wild and "liberated". And it has picked up a lot of traits that we would formerly observe in the more rough pockets of the web.

I don't think those pockets have changed or seized to exist, some of them have become more radical than ever before, it's just that what we consider to be the public space where everyone is grounded to has changed place.

To add to what others have said: Kotlin is a language that does path sensitive (re-)typing of variables. This is often very convenient in the presence of OO-style polymorphism or in cases where the language supports ad-hoc unions.

Personally it doesn't feel complicated to use/understand (at least the kind of thing that these languages do)
I've been watching Louis Rossman advocating for right to repair recently.[0] Louis tells a story about how opposition lobbyists have made outrageous claims and politicians bought it, because nobody actually showed up to disagree with the claims.

Agree with the code generation approach. Otherwise you need to make sure the annotations are in sync with the type / class / interface.

Typescript doesn't support macro currently, so code generation is the only way to programmatically create 'type-checked' code.

Some cli-tool and library I'm using (available on npm):

tsc-macro: https://github.com/beenotung/tsc-macro

gen-ts-type: https://github.com/beenotung/gen-ts-type

ts-type-check: https://github.com/beenotung/ts-type-check
The following is purely anecdotally, my opinions is solely based on my personal experience with the language.

As someone who learned TypeScript just by using it and without any serious "study", I'll have to disagree the basic premise of the article.

I already knew about almost everything the article mentioned and nothing really seemed weird to me at the time.

The only point that I did not know about is type narrowing not working on nested objects, because that came up exactly 0 times in about 50k lines of TypeScript so far.

Half of the points made are actually TypeScript being lenient (interfaces allowing excess properties, classes working like interfaces). In my book this makes the TS easier to work with, because it gets out of the way when it's not needed.

Classes essentially working like interfaces is probably a result of TS wanting to be backward compatible with JS, because when you enrich your existing JS lib with type information, TS can't know about your "classes" - they're a runtime thing. Treating them the same as interfaces can make this much nicer.

It also allows 3rd party code to add extra properties to your new-instanciated object and using an interface to reflect the change, but still being able to pass it to stuff expecting the original thing. This way you can have type safety without losing JS features.
I am not sure I agree completely. Yes, the panic they induce ( and that media happily augment ) is in itself dangerous, but.. well, weaponized ebola has apparently been in existence for a while. What makes you think progress was not made since then to.. add new traits to existing strains?

I hate to say anything more, because we would easily move into wild speculation territory.

This. My network code uses them everywhere on the client side. It's frankly amazing.

Your server side code should have runtime validation though. You can't and shouldn't rely on TypeScript there for security reasons.

Works for me. I'm able to connect a piano / midi controller to a computer, and have it work with a musical web app in Chrome.

Admittedly, I don't do much other that get the notes played on the keyboard (MIDI code, time down, time up, and velocity).

Don't need much more than that to do a whole lot of interesting things.
I'm not arguing with you, just agreeing in a different way :D

Nonlinearity is fun. I'm a big fan of it, and have spent a lot of time on the DSP side developing NLP that can be predictable and repeatable, and all the garbage associated with making it sound good.

My issue is more that MIDI 2.0 goes towards part of the issue - e.g. if I press N keys at the same time, N messages should be stamped at the same time and be able to be rendered by the synth at the same time - but I'm doubtful that systems will be able to handle this in a deterministic way, both in recording the incoming messages and replicating them in the same way the performer intended while playing.
Where are you on the march from nothing to a usable app (even if that's a beta) in months, seasons, years, or any other form that makes sense? :)
Yeah, I've been through the Federal criminal system. What I've noticed is that Federal prosecutors almost never file a charge they don't believe they can get a conviction for.

Now, that being said, I do allow that sometimes the prosecutor is given bad or fabricated evidence, like what is turning up with General Michael Flynn's case.

We can't fix this.

The whole HN narrative around this presumes that this is an unnatural outcome caused by the bad incentives of tech platforms. This is just wrong.

The polarization comes directly from people being able to communicate freely.

The polarization is real. It was there before, but it was controlled by censorship, basically. The polarization isn't caused by the web, it's unleashed by it. We can't stop it without neutering the web, and we don't want that.

> Do you know _why_ this uptick has happened? Does anyone?

I believe the culprit is expecting the diversity of the world's voices to be able to converse through a single comment widget. Any online article or post has a single comment widget that mixes the voices of everyone together. This causes chaos, as we are all well aware. I believe we need to provide a mechanism for the public to self segregate when they post comments; if they can say "I am posting this to these people" or "this post is of this attitude" and the comments section beneath a post/article were a selection of conversations with different attitudes - things would be different, less heated, and (sub)-culturally richer.

It isn't a "fan" problem, it is a heat or perceived heat problem. It is either a temperature sensor, a problem transferring heat from the CPU or GPU, or a defect in the CPU or GPU (probably one of the first two).

Former IT person here who deployed fleets of MacBooks with those damn dreaded USB-C ports. If you have "normal use" of the ports then you might not notice the low duty cycle but in an office where people are constantly plugging into their docks, dongles for AV equipment, Ethernet adapters for VoIP, and traveling it became a major headache. More wear than typical maybe, but certainly not abnormal.

On average, over the life of the device, every device needed to be sent to Apple to replace worn ports. Some unlucky sales people managed 2 or 3 trips to Apple. The annoying bit is that the turnaround time isn't exactly fast so we ended up provisioning the affected people new machines and then throwing the refurbs back in the rotation.

We never heard a peep from the Dells we also deployed that had a USB-C port for the dock, HDMI ports for the AV, and a dedicated port for charging. I like the idea of one port for all but they're just not strong enough.
