Agreed. MacBook Air has quad-core in similar clock ranges but tops out at 16GB of RAM. Pay an extra $1300-ish for Pro, you can get 32GB of RAM. There's literally nothing else in this refresh that's compelling.

And the only reason I want that RAM is for Chrome.
As you said, you feel overwhelmend. For example,I usually code my side-project in the evening, after 8 hrs of coding at my job.

I have a goal to create working application. Is it a joy for me or just another work that takes my time and gives me nothing? Sometimes, I don't know. I keep working with different technologies, tools so it's not the same as at the job. When i feel, that's not a joy, I am tired or whatever, i don't force myself to do that.

Rather than "learning" programming language, you can write down an idea for the sample app and start working on that. Rather than reading a book, you can watch a video or you can go read outside.

But when using remote connections, ie RDP, the default is that your session is disconnected. You have to actively choose to log out of an RDP session.

When using SSH I typically want the same. If I put my laptop to sleep or a networking issue causes the TCP connection to end, I want my terminal session to be restored when I reconnect via SSH.

It's one of those bugs that can opportunistically infect humans when their immune system is severely limited (i. e. end-stage untreated AIDS, unfortunate incident at a nuclear reactor). But that's a situation where almost anything will kill you.

Fraud is a tricky thing. It requires not only deceit, but 'legal injury'. The show producers clearly had great ratings, a popular show and considerable exposure due to the sensational nature of this family's win. Their winnings was a tiny fraction of a marketing budget. Arguably not a lot of legal injury there.

'But it was not fair!' is not a legal argument. Neither is 'outside the rules' since rules are not laws or regulations. Just some words the director spoke in their direction; hot air.
The stuff about blowing the transformers is exactly what I've heard too.

Yes it's true. But Toyota has a very unique culture in which management are more like coaches, and every single employee on the line is expected to continuously introduce improvements in the assembly line. In such an environment, the employees are highly empowered. So it is natural that they would resist any attempt to prevent direct communication between them and management. When a union takes charge it is legally not permissible for workers to directly talk to management and vice-versa; they have to go through the union.
Yes, they are that much of a benefit.

I agree with your last sentence. As with any tools, it depends on your usage.

But saying that 4 cores is ridiculous misses the truth. A lot of people, myself included, use 4 core machines completely successfully.

If you need more, there is absolutely nothing wrong with paying more for more powerful machine. It's just not every PC on the market has to have absolutely most powerful configuration available at the moment.
Other foods aren't unavailable though... They aren't hunting because they're starving, they're hunting because meat is harder to get, and it's a nice luxury that's also expensive. Couple that with reduced/no income and choosing to hunt isn't insane. I know a fair number of people in rural GA who will hunt one deer a year and freeze it, You get small servings of meat all season. It goes a long way...

No one would seriously recommend an all meat diet. It will kill you. Seriously - Go google protein poisoning. Unless you're eating incredibly fatty meat like seal, don't eat just meat.
Except it's more like "vice signalling."

That's equally true of a lot of hardware. I worked on a storage device that could store an exabyte. Went for 10s of millions before even talking about the support contract where the money is.

It doesn't change the underlying equation.
You don't have to risk it all to validate your idea
The correct solution to that would be to hand some collective ownership and responsibility to the employees of a store. Make schedules public, or if that's a privacy issue (I don't think it should be), at least discuss overall statistics at some regular meeting.

"Hey team, we worked x hours this month, and our best employee worked 96 ours of overtime! Amazing!"

In your example, the "individual [having] an outsized effect on the group" is the store manager. They need some oversight to ensure they're correctly wielding their power over the timekeeping system and their employees. You could have the next manager in the chain conduct oversight, but then you might end of with the same issue. Better to distribute power to the employees, so no one person can ruin the store, and everyone feels a little more responsible and important.

It's only true that a physical key is always better if you're sending a single key press event, which unfortunately is usually the case for most Touch Bar controls, but there are certain use cases where sending a stream of events is preferably: For example adjusting color sliders in Photoshop, or a volume fader in Logic Pro.

The foundational problem with the Touch Bar is that it's a UI only for some use cases that are desktop-first workflows (like design and music production). And not only is the Touch Bar not available for the desktop, the form factor is so compromised by the small size of a laptop that it ends up not even being good for the use cases that it is a good fit for on a laptop.

I was initially excited when I saw the Touch Bar, because I hate adjusting sliders and knobs with the mouse (and find that UI element to be nicer to use on an iPad for example). But the Touch Bar is so small it's terrible for adjusting sliders and knobs, and I usually use an Exeter all keyboard and mouse when I'm doing these tasks anyway...

Get the books, read them, your understanding will increase and confusion decrease.

Both kinds of sales are "sales" as there is not just one kind. What you will see is that the popular media ("regular") sales is not actually regular, that there are also different types of sales people, and so on.

Basically your exposure and sales vocab are still underdeveloped, so reading some books will aid you greatly.

As a GA Tech student for two years now (GA Tech's OMSCS program is all MOOCS), MOOCS are generally horrible ways to actually teach.

-I have no idea why anyone would have anxiety about being in class, I don't think that's a common problem.

-There's less focus in online classes because now you have to manage all the different ways you have to communicate with everyone, official and unofficial, in the hopes you can get enough interaction to slog your way through the horribly written assignments and figure out what they actually want you to do.

-There's essentially zero communication with teachers -- they're almost totally absent, communication with other students can be helpful, or not, and you don't always know. There are typically two or three TAs for up to 600 students, so any kind of focused interaction with a TA is almost unheard of, and even if you do get that their level of expertise is often in question.

-autograders work well for some very defined sorts of problems, but they don't work at all for most workflows. The TAs, in my experience, spend most of their limited time fixing autograder screwups.
I think "better processor" can only fall into the Dell camp if it's confirmed that they're running it at a 25W TDP all-the-time and not the default 15W, or else Apple's chip choices will likely win because they can consume more power (but I don't know the actual model #s Apple is using).

It probably saves a ton of time not having to make that run yourself. Also, often just because something isn't common doesn't mean it isn't possible or doesn't happy; it just means that cultural norms swing one way or another. I'd bet the fish truck is ower-operated (even if the owner is a co-op), for instance, which probably has roots in how things were done for a long time.

I've moved to a 16" as well, the touchbar is fine IMO. The biggest issue before this update was just removing the escape key. I've mostly adjusted to switching caps lock to escape now because of it.

My biggest disappointment in this 13" upgrade is that it is still 13 inch. The display quality has increased over the years, but resolution/size has stayed the same since 2012.

That and the continued use of the same 720P webcam. Hopefully we get a FaceID enabled mac in 2021 where they put in a decent camera.
One entrepreneur conference I attended, a speaker stressed that novelty was not an advantage, it was a risk. It had to be very important to justify that risk. A totally new product/IP, a new customer, a new marketing channel, were all risks and not advantages.

You can't really make it part of your workflow if you use an external keyboard a fair bit of the time, anyway, which I suspect a lot of MBP users do. I bet external keyboard at the desk(s), built-in when on the move, is a common way of working with them. For that portion of the userbase, even if they liked the touchbar they don't have much reason build it into muscle memory or routines, so probably tend to ignore it or just set it to F-keys.
Just because something isn't skilled doesn't mean it's not important or doesn't bring value. The people who do these jobs deserve a decent wage and respect, not psuedo-wage-slavery

Coronavirus: Far-right spreads Covid-19 'infodemic' on Facebook
‘The 34 websites together received more than 80 million interactions.

These included:

almost 150,000 interactions for HumansAreFree.com which made claims that the "plandemic" had been prepared years before the outbreak

about 1.7 million interactions for RealFarmacy.com which falsely claims that personal ultraviolet lamps are a safe remedy for coronavirus’

‘Chloe Colliver led the study: "We started doing this research because we were interested to look at the intersection of extremism and disinformation online," she explained.

‘"We wanted to know how the coronavirus crisis was affecting those trends."’

‘Researchers identified five communities, united by the topic of discussion:

Immigration
Islam
Judaism
LGBT
Elites

‘The numbers, probably indicative rather than giving the full picture, show that for the first four of these, the scale of activity hadn't increased in volume since the lockdown.

‘But while there weren't more posts about immigration, for example, discussions about the topic had increasingly linked it to Covid-19.‘

‘"Anti-elite conversations have escalated dramatically, especially driving home the idea the lockdown is a tool of social control."’

This is such a common gripe, and I agree it's grounded in a lack of perspective. It reminds me of an image that helped me quit smoking. When you pick up a cigarette, imagine that a string is connected to every other cigarette you will smoke for the rest of your life, in a chain that stretches on into the future. You're not just picking up one cigarette. And similarly, you're not just picking up one hour of work, because there are 100 other features that fall into the same box.
I’m curious which FAANG you worked at that strongly discouraged WFH. I’ve worked at two now, including the one that’s sort of notorious for treating employees terribly, and both of them were fine with WFH when necessary. I sort of got the sense that they were all more or less OK with it.
Ah yes, in this case it's indeed a bit more verbose:

let foo= "bar".to_string();

It's on purpose though, because Rust likes to make heap allocations explicit, and I find it fine to be honest, but you mileage may vary.
Yes. My comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23067613 was partly based on a paper on the storm of 2012. Their estimate of probablility of a carrington-type thingy was 12% per decade (from memory but I believe it is correct).

Edit: this probability appears to have been amended recently. From https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190312103717.h...

"

According to this new research, the probability of a similar solar storm occurring in the following decade ranges from 0.46% to 1.88%, far less than the percentage estimated before. "In 2012, the results reported in scientific literature estimated the probability to be around 12%, ten times more than our more pessimistic estimation,"

"

So much better, but one of the paper's authors says "A probability close to 2% which is what we have calculated for a highly intense storm should not be looked over if we take into account the consequences of such an event"
Yeah Dell bought our startup. I said at the time "We have 5 orthogonal IP components to our product. We can ship something with one or two of those, which are already complete. We should do that." I got a patronizing "Maybe the next time, lets not switch horses now" kind of response.
A basic income that truly covers the basic needs of modern life (food, shelter, electricity, running water, heat, healthcare, broadband, education, etc.) would give the lowest paid workers bargaining power.

A basic income that doesn't cover those things might instead just make it easier to pay workers even less.

Think of what some restaurants do when their employees get tips: they pay less than the legal minimum wage because they expect tips to "top off" worker earnings until they meet minimum wage requirements, so they explicitly pass that tip from customers into the business's revenue stream, skipping the intended tip recipient altogether. If we don't protect recipients of UBI, their employers can do the same thing.
This is really typical “missing the point” when it comes to Apple hardware.

First, Apple hardware was never bleeding edge even in 2010. That’s not ever how they operated. They’ve really never played the spec war. They don’t even publicly state the RAM spec in the iPhone while Android competitors make it into a price segmenting feature.

What these computers give out is all the stuff people really care about.

The computer’s shape and even the large ancient-looking top bezel are giving you a more comfortable typing surface compared to the XPS 13 where your palms slip off the edge if your hands are too big.

https://youtu.be/5hMie-xZFzQ

Skip forward to the part talking about typing comfort.

The speakers in the Air and Pro are best in class and nothing comes close. That’s something the customer will notice and care about.

The microphones in Apple machines are incredible. Something the customer will notice and care about when they use the computer on conference calls.

And nobody else has made a trackpad anywhere near as good. Still.

I dispute the assertion that there’s a computer out there in this same form factor with a discrete GPU at a similar price point with similar specs, and if there is I’m sure it’s a GeForce MX and not a GTX or RTX, in other words, not really worth the trouble. In reality, nobody buying this class of computer gives a shit about the graphics card. Investing battery life into one is a bad trade-off. I’d also like to see this mythical computer you speak of, what model are you talking about?

I also dispute your claims on pricing in general. Dell, for example, places a gate on 16GB of RAM
and the high DPI display to the highest XPS 13 model. It’s way less configurable than a similar Mac. A lot of Windows computers that seem to be equivalent to Macs omit features like a high DPI display or make them an upgrade and act like 1080p is “good enough” for customer spending almost a grand or more and doing mostly text work. I find that oversight unacceptable: a high DPI display should absolutely be standard on any computer over $700 that isn’t intended for gaming, IMO.

Expecting 6 cores or the very latest generation of every component is beside the point. Nobody notices that stuff. Only benchmarks can see the difference.

What actually makes a good computer is good ergonomics, good display, good battery life, good speakers, good microphones. The hardware internals are, in 2020 when computer performance is improving at a slower rate than ever before, nearly a complete afterthought.

> Only that’s not just Amazon, it’s how 21st-century capitalism is done.

I am really tired of all these off-hand attacks on capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system. It is characterized by private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit. If you prefer a centralized or shared economy, that is fine, although I was born in a communist country and I bet you have no idea what you wish for.

Capitalism is not responsible for some local injustice, corruption, or mistreatment of workers. If you think there is no corruption in a dictatorship or that communism is a worker paradise you are grossly misinformed. Europe runs on capitalism too, but Europe also has strong worker protections and ethical norms.
