I have 8GB on my work laptop with almost all of this (except Kubernetes, but I fail to understand why you would need a local Kubernetes) and it's fine, I usually have 2GB free memory.

Don't exagerate your memory requirements, you would be more than fine with 16GB.
excellently put. i'd add (especially for OP) bodyweight training at home - start with pull up bar over door and push up handles (wrist welfare). core can be done without weights or equipment. burpees are good.
I just switched to Linux on an lightly used LG gram after being on Mac for 10 years. $1300, 1TB nvme, 24gb ram, 15" edgeless screen, weighs less than 3lbs, and charger is lighter. Also has a full touch screen. Do I miss retina display? Yes, although I get just as much on screen since it's 15". Would I go back for 2x the price? No way.
What are your thoughts on information-centric networking [1,2]?

You seem to be addressing the same problems.

A while still I think. The tablet laptop form factor is still not quite as good as just a laptop in a lot of situations. It only really works well when you have a large enough space to move the tablet around to make the limited angle options work for example.
I developed my first few iOS apps on a 2013 MacBook Air with 4 gigs of ram. On larger projects (especially Swift) the builds could be a bit slow and the syntax highlighting would be delayed, but overall it was totally manageable. When I upgraded to a 16gig Mac book pro, I thought it would be a game changer to speed up the builds. To my surprise, they weren't really that much faster. It seems like the slowness of XCode and Swift isn't constrained by resources - its just slow no matter how much power you throw at it. So I would say for getting into iOS and Xcode development these new Macbook Airs would be more than enough and a used older Air would suffice.
I don't think we need to apply absolutes here. It can be true both that it would be very difficult for airlines to keep cash reserves to cope with an event of this scale and that keeping essentially zero cash reserves (in fact, American has been borrowing like crazy) is absolute negligence.

If airlines are considered essential enough to the functioning of the country that they must be bailed out, they should also be run in a way that reflects that importance to society.
I think having no plan is kind of a paraphrase of strong opinions, weakly held.
At what point on this trajectory will MacBook Pro merge with iPad Pro? When macOS and iPadOS converge?
it does not, but there is still some overhead running a single linux VM for the docker host on macOS

The value of an asset is how much it will pay out. If a company never pays its shareholders deciding instead to burn profits it becomes worthless. Apple has value because people believe that at some point in the future apple will decide to give its hundreds of billions of dollars in cash back to investors. Amazon was in a growth phase which is why investors were/are ok with profits being reinvested. Shareholders would not allow that strategy to continue indefinitely. Eventually they've got to see a return.
What is with the insistence of (in-paragraph) hard line breaks on documents still?

I put this page into Firefox's reader mode and I get lines breaking all over the place as it's now got a mix of soft and hard line breaks.

Should presentation of line length not be up to the client?
I am curious where do you people see ads. I do not have any on my windows computers. All hold latest official updates.
> The problem is that it ramps up by 250 Mhz increments

Isn't this completely down to the cpu frequency governor in the OS?

My impression was that this "stepping" is customisable, at least in linux, I regularly step my CPU manually even.

I'm not sure what Apple has here, but maybe it's not what you expect.
In Germany there is another explanation. Gold is tax-free, silver is taxed.
The input bits are presumed informative (i.e. have some mutual information with an external structure). The transformative process is one such that information inherent in the input is preserved and transformed into some amount of new information.

That this process preserves and transforms information, when almost all physical processes would destroy such information, demonstrates the coherence between the structure of the transformation (i.e. computation) and the information in the input.

If it were the case that the computer plays no informative role in the semantics of the input and output, we would be able to make a computer out of any physical process. But we can't. I can't coax my wall into telling me how to invert a matrix, for example. That certain vanishingly rare physical processes can invert a matrix for me implies the coherence between the semantics of the operations and the semantics of the information its operating on.
Why would someone want to map out an indoor space as a 3D model with color and precision? I would never have thought the usefulness of that would be in question. Any kind of building or construction, virtual spaces, robotics navigation, virtual tours etc. can and already are making use of these things.
Still got my fingers crossed for a desktop machine that isn’t a Mac Pro and isn’t a Mac Mini.

Would love iMac Pro firepower without being tied to a set display.

I’ve been alive 30 years. A good portion of that was growing up as a PC user, overclocker, teenage hacker, etc. My professional career however has been on Unix and MacOS, and as much as I try to get back to desktop Linux and open source OS’s I just find them to be so brittle and hacked together.

I tried to daily drive Linux and just couldn't do it, and I am not a newb to Linux either. I got my feet wet on SuSE (Kernel 2.4!), and then saw the light of Debian and Ubuntu and have used that primarily since. Remember when you could order free install CD's for Ubuntu? There were copies of Warty Warthog all over my high school. I have installed arch by hand, btw. I’ve used Fedora and RHEL and CentOS and Slackware! Gnome and KDE and XFCE. Remember Compiz? It isn’t the desktop environments. It isn’t the distributions. It’s just the unavoidable consequence of an entire ecosystem of desktop Linux being designed by committee.

So I’ve accepted I’ll be on macOS for a long time to come (not unlike DHH - https://m.signalvnoise.com/back-to-windows-after-twenty-year...) and have started to seriously consider building a hackintosh. But when your time is billed hourly and you have a half dozen clients, time is money and the novelty of a Ryzen-powered hate tank hackintosh for my professional work is starting to look less realistic.

So how about a Diet® Pro for those of us who want something that isn’t a laptop in a big AppleTV chassis and isn’t a desktop in a monitor chassis.
lol. I came here to type “Hanrahan is a beast.” He has been involved with so much impressive work for so many years. I don’t know how he does it.
Is there a reason it has to be one or the other? MacOS is the best operating system for power users or content creators. iPadOS is the best operating system for personal computer users. That seems like the vision to me.
Sure, that's fair, but a Boeing bankruptcy is unlikely to actually kill every employee and destroy every existing plane, so recovery might be faster than that.
- In particular: does it accurately represent their intended meaning, in context?

This is general problem in journalism. You should always know who is saying something and why.
Right. The answer in the large is "They'd decide animation is a sucker's game and do something else entirely." Which they could do, and that's the natural back-pressure on wage-fixing cartels driving prices to zero (as opposed to the "unnatural" back-pressure of laws that say "companies aren't allowed to collude on fixing wages", which almost universally translates to "... in ways we can see," because every major industry with a few players and a non-union staff does it somehow. To be clear, I think those laws are wise, but they're a sub-optimal solution because they're very easily gamed and the ROI for gaming them is very, very high).

There were not many Google engineers who felt actually slighted by Google when the company was fined for price-fixing along with Apple, Pixar, eBay, &c. At least, if they did feel slighted, they sure didn't demonstrate their frustration by unionizing, leaving, or actually taking more action than accepting their one-time payoff from the class-action settlement. And why would they? They're already paid far above average wages for employees countries Google operates in (and significantly above most of the tech sector in the US).
I don’t know, gamifying stress/anxiety management sounds extremely stressful.
Those specifications from 1997 are still relevant. That's why we end up with things like quirks mode:

https://quirks.spec.whatwg.org/

And on the subject of WHATWG, all of them were excluded from the word count. And, the JavaScript spec, and nearly all of the JavaScript APIs browsers are implementing. Things omitted include WebGL, Web Bluetooth and Web USB, the native filesystem API, WebXR, Speech APIs... and, the informative notes you mentioned are (1) a rounding error when compared to the specs, and (2) are also included in the word counts for POSIX, C11, and so on.

And the word count I gave in the article is half of the real count I ended up with, and I didn't even finish downloading all of the specs to consider.

My full write-up on the methodology is here:

Anyone who thinks that the web isn't hundreds or thousands of times more complicated than almost anything else out there is lying to themselves.

The press release mentions this:

"Later this year, Shapr 3D, a professional CAD system based on Siemens Parasolid technology, will use the LiDAR Scanner to automatically generate an accurate 2D floor plan and 3D model of a room which can then be used as the basis to design remodels or room additions like a bathroom or closet. New designs can then be previewed in real-world scale using AR right in the room you scanned."
I’m not well-versed at all in Go and Kubernetes? Isn’t the large RAM usage from the usage of containers? Is Go a memory-hog?

VS Code has incredibly good "remote" debugging setups. [0]

You can install a VS Code "server" on e.g. your Linux developer machine, then connect to it via your VS Code "client" on your iPad. You get local intellisense and the like, but actual execution of code is done on your Linux server.

You can replace Linux server with Windows, or even containers (so you can have your "server" be a local Linux docker image if you're on Windows but want to develop locally on Linux, for example).

I realize this is a higher barrier to use, but I could seriously see using it in this way.

Ye. Alot talk about this propaganda but few examples. I have heard alot of "fake news" from freinds like "hand spirits are only for bacteria" etc without any Kremlin involvement.

I guess there are alot of genuine trolls in Russia and elsewhere spreading roumors. I wonder what proof of government involvement they have. The trolls are probably better at it anyway.

And then there was Nix(OS). [1]

> A big implication of the way that Nix/NixOS stores packages is that there is no /bin, /sbin, /lib, /usr, and so on. Instead all packages are kept in /nix/store. (The only exception is a symlink /bin/sh to Bash in the Nix store.) Not using ‘global’ directories such as /bin is what allows multiple versions of a package to coexist. Nix does have a /etc to keep system-wide configuration files, but most files in that directory are symlinks to generated files in /nix/store.

I'm not a fan of the "Buy something nice" one. It seems like it might feed a harmful coping mechanism.
Yup. There are plenty of dormant mines here in Colorado because "there is 100 million dollars worth of gold in that mine but it will cost 200 million dollars to extract it". Once the first number changes enough in relation to the second, those mines will start right back up.

Ha-ha, reading this from the 2015 MPRO 13", exact same experience. I've tried to move to DELL XPS 13 2 years ago on Linux, did not work for me, however with a new line of Dell's I am starting to thinking about repeating this experiment.

Apple's 2016-2019 laptops were pretty unusable, hope they revert the touchbar too..

A question, has anybody tried System76 comparing to Dell/Apple?
1mm of key travel (not "length") is what they have in the external keyboards they've been selling since 2015, and it's just fine. While this is obviously subjective, I'd argue it's the best keyboard Apple has made since the days of the Apple Extended keyboards. The 2011 laptop keyboards are the same keyboards they used up until the butterfly switches, they don't have as nice a "feel" as the Magic Keyboards, and it's not as if they have a lot more key travel, anyway -- only about 1.3mm.

Let's agree to disagree. I'm talking about physical discrimination being not simply valid by the standards of our time, but unavoidable, depending on the context. Short people can't play in the NBA, because they can't compete with bigger players.

The only progress that could push society past that, is genetic engineering. Everyone on equal footing or so different, that sport as we know it ceases to exist.
The idea is great in principle. But this is going to be a problem:

"We need a mechanical device which can automatically sort the samples into well group"

PCR machines are actually not that complicated by comparison. Basically just a programmable heater.

Last time I looked into it (admittedly a while ago, so feel free to correct me), pipetting robots kind of sucked and weren't very precise.

Correctly handling tiny (microliter scale) fluid amounts without the slightest risk of cross contamination isn't going to be that simple.

But all that said, if you can solve this problem I think the idea is a real winner. Can be used for HIV and other PCR based testing as well.
They could call it a "Mac".
Paradoxically, I think that the post-crash recovery will be a great opportunity for WeWork (if they survive). My guess is that many companies will outright close most of their branch offices, shifting people / teams that want or need to be in an office to coworking spaces.

This movement will also have reductive effects on carbon emissions, so despite the coming carnage in commercial real estate, it's the right direction. Hopefully a lot of that square footage can be converted to residential, because there is still an affordable housing shortage...
I don't know how it's over there in the US but here, the hard soap (with "72%" stamped on it) is extremely cheap and overabundant. It's not very glamourous and pleasantly smelling but it foams and cleans and has bactericidic effect.

It isn't running at 1080p. It's doing "@2x" pixel rendering (commonly called "Retina") - so it uses 4 physical pixels to render one "screen" pixel, giving you much crisper.. everything.
If I remember correctly from my econ classes, deflation has a nasty spiraling effect where any currency introduced into the system is subsequently hoarded, which decreases economic activity which makes money even more valuable which increases hoarding ...

There are many tools in the toolbox for handling inflation. For deflation, not so much.

Interesting observation! FWIW I read the original poster's comment and understood it very easily and felt the negations flowed fairly naturally in their sentence. Good observation nonetheless!

The order says that one can go outside.
There is a difference between discovery and theory. Discovery of Americas or Mars cannot be "falsified", they are scientific, objective, observable facts. Theory makes always some assumptions that can be invalid under some conditions - for instance Newtonian mechanics is not valid on quantum size scale or in case of huge masses or near speed of light velocities.
Ofc not. Personal service by real people is essential to the experience.
Apple’s new MacBook Air brings the price down and the specs up, new keyboard
It's amazing how well received the "I'm cynical and world-weary" angle plays on Hacker News.

"This is the baseline. Apple have gone from bad to OK"

Apple's scissor keyboard is pretty broadly considered the best in the industry by a country mile. Their butterfly mechanism was a bad misstep (I mean...almost indistinguishable from my Yoga 720, but compared to prior Apple keyboards), but saying that they went from "bad" to "OK" is just nonsense.

"and they're celebrating"

> idk why everyone is treating this like it's some complicated mystery. it's defined to be consistent with universal quantification (ie, ∀x) that most of us should have learned in intro to discrete. std::all_of works exactly the same way.

Lewis Carroll didn't know this, and treated universally quantified statements over an empty domain as false. Of course that's wrong; but I think it's over-specialising to claim that this is something obvious, or that everyone knows.

(Also, as others have said, if someone learns from this, then that's great! That's a positive impact, whereas saying "you should have known it already" is purely negative, so why bother?)
