There is commercial software on Linux - steam, opera, chrome, telegram, skype. I hope Flatpak and Wayland would provide secure way to run it, runtimes would solve compatibility issues — requisites for direct distribution. Distribution patches is choice of the user, for example Arch is upstream.

I do not think people switch to Linux because of love. They switch because they hate their OS. The question was about lowering yet another barrier.

> Linux Desktop is bad at all these things and though it is theoretically more adjustable, the reality is that trying to fit it to your usecases is an exercise in fighting this average user mentality and often involves dealing with a ludicrously complex intertwined system of mis-matched components at a very intimate level.

The reality is on Linux usually it is already done — someone wrote code, packaged it, wrote articles, posted on forums, made desktop or distribution around it. Something that's not possible on Windows.

Windows is monoculture, deployment platform but stay away from the system.

I'd say the 16, but with a caveat. By itself it is a great machine. In clamshell mode with an external 4k screen it is a great machine. With the laptop screen open connected to an external 4k screen it is EXTREMELY noisy and hot.

"How did Trump get so many votes?"

The same people that attacked Schor have undoubtedly also asked themselves this question, without an ounce of self-awareness.

Except instead of recognizing their own culpability, the conclusion most such people are coming to seems to be "well, I guess nearly half of all Americans are bad people".
There is a resource tradeoff. async/await has a minor CPU/memory impact, but it can also free up threads to do other work during an I/O bound operation.

Threads have their own resource cost.
That's now how yield works. Yield is the number of functioning chips that you pull out of a wafer.

I think what you are trying to refer to is frequency binning.
This MBP refresh replaces the lower-end MBP which also only had 2 ports.

This is a small detail that is easy to miss.

The "higher-end" MBPs with 4 ports are only availabe with the intel CPUs for now

Research has confirmed that people don't lie to pollsters in any meaningful way when asked their head to head preference.

It's mentioned in the last graph of the article. The crux of this article is rather than 'shy trump voters' there is simply a large amount of these Trump voters who will refuse to take a survey flat out.

The only environments where self-contained deployment matters are the ones you mentioned: browser, mobile phone, and also desktop. So yes, 45mb is a big difference (actually my app is 250mb).
Typically also implies that the object contains no real logic/functionality and is a simple container for storing some values. Something that could be a record type.

Probably binning where faulty memory gets disabled and flagged as a 8GB chip?

Intel did that for the 486SX processor 30 years ago. The 486 was the first x86 CPU with an integrated FPU. Chips that failed the FPU test were sold as cheaper 486SX with the FPU disabled.

ha no. do the math on it and you'll see that a sale is far more profitable for equity holders than cashflowing profits for the same nominal amount. I.e. distributing $3.7M in profits yields you personally a lot less than having your equity purchased for $3.7M.

You're comparing apples and oranges - 500K/year of profits first needs to get taxed. Then distributed to shareholders pro-rata, then taxed again at the personal level. Also, you're assuming he could have made 500K year in profit from the very beginning.
AFAIK BPF wasn’t conceived as anything security-related, it was just an optimization.
I agree with the parent poster that it's probably more about inference, not training.

If ML developers can assume that consumer machines (at least "proper consumer machines, like those made by Apple") will have support to do small-scale ML calculations efficiently, then that enables including various ML-based thingies in random consumer apps.
I hesitate to post this (I'm no authority, and lack a handy citation), but IIRC it's widely believed that Hitler was aware that he had a Jewish maternal grandparent. It doesn't surprise me too much that these hateful people have plenty of self-directed hate at the core of their sociopathy.

On most browsers you can organize bookmarks in folders/tree structures. You could then delete folders/trees of bookmarks at a time, eliminating this "accumulating a bajillion of irrelevant bookmarks".
"Publish your apps" isn't the issue: I support a lot of applications I don't build or have the source code for. And they may be on my network for over ten years.

The problem is if developers are publishing self-contained apps with .NET Core, IT staff will be up a creek on vulnerability mitigation. While being able to pin specific .NET Core versions is nice for developers, being able to require the most current .NET Core version be used is important for IT staff who have to support these applications.
Inferring design rules from mockups is an anti-pattern
I mean, that's somewhat my point? They were not pursuing rapid growth. From the post:

We’re also a company that has purposefully operated right around breakeven for years. So, unless you’re a “strategic acquistion” that throws acquistion multiples out the window, a slow-growth software company without lots of profits and a product that’s technically quite complex is ultimately just not going to get a huge multiple.
Hmm, I wouldn't say this is nonsense. I can consistently reproduce the issue by charging on the left side (making the computer completely unusable), and then switching to the right side and having it run perfectly fine. Since I started charging on the right side I've had zero issues with it.

Did you just do a hacker-y style rant?
I should wait for a 64 GB option. I've already got 16 GB on all my older laptops, so when buying a new gadget RAM and SSD should have better specs (you feel more RAM more than more cores in many usage scenarios).

It was surprising to see essentially the same form factor, the same operating system and not much to distinguish the three machines presented (lots of repetition like "faster compiles with XCode").

BTW, what's the size and weight of the new Air compared to the MacBook (which I liked, but which was killed before I could get one)?

Seeing two machines that are nearly identical reminds me of countries with two mainstream political parties - neither discriminates clearly what their USP is...

More pervasive than simply setting up and running a business. Can you get a license to drive a car? Can you get your children into school? Can you rent that property to live in? All these things tend to become insider-outsider models bound up in failed socialism where status and access to power get more important rather than less. Orwell's the Pigs running the farm kind of thing.

crony socialism, crony capitalism. These are just not really so meaningful. Just call it corruption because that is what it is. Whether or not laws have been broken it is still corrupt. Whether the ideology of the government is socialist, capitalist or otherwise it is corrupt.

I'm not sure the most corrupt capitalist states can match the soviet union for the sheer scale and pervasiveness of corruption, for example. The worst corrupt capitalist reigimes don't seem to be able to match the scale and pervasiveness of environmental degradation seen behind the iron curtain when that came down. I think there's something in that.

HP's out-of-the-box instructions are terrible and assume your printer might not be on your network. Any JetDirect-enabled HP printer requires no local process/service on your workstations or other devices. You just throw PS/PCL at port 9100, or maybe IPP at 631, and install a reasonably-recent PPD for your printer's model line (this is the point of installing hplip from your distro). There isn't a driver per-se as the OS is responsible for creating the postscript and/or PCL from your document, just as it would for making a PDF. If you can't install a PPD you can just manually set the capabilities (duplex, highest PS version, resolution, tray sizes) in the native print UI, like for a mobile device
Allowing a minority of welfare states to extract the money and blood of the united states while voting in their representative to oversee the extraction literally weakens the constitutional protections afforded to everyone as we have seen in the last 20 years.

I've wanted to write about my (only; last) experience as a manager for a long time, as I think it's a pretty textbook definition of the trap that is getting burnt out by a shitty job.

My mood worsened because I felt like I was failing all the time. Being in a shitty mood and feeling deeply ashamed made the quality of my work (meaning: the way I treated my team and stakeholders) worse. It was this terrible loop of failure and frustration and shame. My bosses were inept but empathetic to my position for a while, until they also succumbed to the burnout/failure process that shitty companies usually cascade downward. My team hated me, because I was tasked with firing some of them and fundamentally changing the way that they worked. My manager, who I replaced as my team's manager, was very open that he didn't have it in him to fire anyone, and that my job was awful mostly because of the amount of things he didn't feel comfortable addressing while he was in my role (but needed addressed). This meant some employees had spent literal years exhibiting bad behavior, and I (a new hire) was being tasked with addressing it. It was awful. To make matters worse, as soon as my manager stopped managing the team, he seemed to totally forget what it was like working with that team, which meant that my requirements and performance were measured off of totally unobtainable feats of success with the team we had. I was expected to get a team that couldn't ship a feature in 10 weeks, to ship features in 2.

Ultimately it culminated with a meeting between me and my grand-manager, where I told her there was an opening as an IC on a neighboring team/product and I intended to take it, and she responded by saying "Maybe, I'm not sure we'll be able to accommodate that request." Which I responded for the first and only time in my career with the ultimatum of "In 30 days I will not be on this team, one way or the other." I felt sick going into that meeting because it felt like I was admitting that I was a total failure, but also that sickness was 1/1000th of the sickness I felt waking up every day getting crushed by my actual job.

Now, some time out, I am on good terms with everyone other than that grand-manager, who I haven't spoken with since. I even work at a new company founded by former coworkers.
> You think Trump stole it?

Not the parent, but I think there's a difference between looking at a few datapoints that make you curious and jumping to "Trump stole it." As for 2012, who's to say they back the same party each time, or even that it is the same attacker? Certainly most on Hacker News know software can have vulnerabilities.

In other words, there should be many scientific steps between "that's odd" to "hypothesis proven" otherwise it's just a conspiracy theory.

As a center right moderate, did you vote for Trump? I might use similar terms to describe my political beliefs if I was into labels, and I feel none of this. I've always been frank about my political leanings when it comes up, and no one I know has had any trouble talking about the issues while leaving the Candidates out of it. That said, given where the Republican party is right now, I can't imagine voting for any R on the ballot (and contra-wise Biden and Jerry Brown are the only two D votes I've ever cast, both entirely in opposition to the frankly scary Republican opponent, not in support of the candidate).
I thought Eternal September was coined in comparison to the temporary September of new students?
That's a kind-of-backwards argument though isn't it? The lid needs to be thick enough to contain the necessary components, not the other way round.
This is undoubtedly why they launched the Mac Mini today. They can ramp up a lot more power in that machine without a battery and with a larger, active cooler.

I'm much more interested in actual benchmarks. AMD has mostly capped their APU performance because DDR4 just can't keep the GPU fed (why the last 2 generations of consoles went with very wide GDDR5/6). Their solution is obviously Infinity Cache where they add a bunch of cache on-die to reduce the need to go off-chip. At just 16B transistors, Apple obviously didn't do this (at 6 transistors per SRAM cell, there's around 3.2B transistors in just 64MB of cache).
Careful, with that kind of comment people might think you're a Trump supporter
Pass through entities wouldn't be subjected to the double taxation.
> But for MacBook Pro, You are essentially paying $300 more for a Fan and Touch Bar.

More than that. Better screen. Bigger battery. Better speakers. Better mics (although I don't know how much I would buy this one as 'studio quality' is silly). A "USB Power Port". The fan will make the MBP perform without throttling a lot longer than the air.

The price difference is minor for all that IMO.
0. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.

1. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

2. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.

3. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

lol, trump has made lefties lose their damn mind.
Don't forget that AMD is still improving its cpus and moving ahead of intel .
Very tough situation. I suppose it is difficult to discuss the imbalance.
A lot of this is narrative and you really have to be skeptical of any narrative that is too clean and simple and flat to describe a complex situation. Crime rates have gone down dramatically in the past couple decades, so we have the luxury to apply hindsight and see what we got wrong and what we got right. But you should generally assume positive intent. Crime was a very serious problem in the U.S. in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Take a look at NYC from 1965-2019: http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/nycrime.htm

Murder rates were 5x higher in 1990 than today. It was a big, big problem. It was believed that drugs drove a lot of that and funded gang activity...some of which was absolutely true. Some of which was absolutely exaggerated.

The victims of crimes are on the other side of this equation of justice. They also deserve justice and consideration. The ideal of our system is for the law to apply the minimum sentence to prevent the crime from re-occurring again. I think it unfortunately oscillates with the moods of the moment, but if murder rates were to suddenly return to NYC 1990 levels in your town, and someone you know or love was murdered, you might be singing a different tune.
Great story :) https://v.cx/2010/04/feynman-brazil-education
Apple officially has dropped mentioning the CPU frequency for these new Macs (just like they don't mentioned it with iOS devices)
Curious about the same thing, re: the 7-core GPU vs. the 8-core GPU on the Air. Seems like a pretty arbitrary upgrade (and only a $50 difference).
I ordered my 13" touchbar MBP with the UK keyboard layout. Adds an extra key to the right of left shift (mapped to tilde), letting me remap the key that is normally tilde on a US keyboard to ESC.

Surely decriminalization is an improvement.

I know this is basically impossible, but often everyone is better off if they know in advance something is impossible to maintain/accomplish.

I've made this mistake plenty of times and been in situations where it was easy to prevent early in the cycle, so I'm sure if this was an easy environment it would be, well, easy.
If you believe that, then you've either been accidentally ignoring Apple's chip R&D over the past three years, or intentionally spinning it against them out of some more general dislike of the company.

The most powerful Macbook Pro, with a Core i9-9980HK, posts a Geekbench 5 of 1096/6869. The A12z in the iPad Pro posts a 1120/4648. This is a relatively fair comparison because both of these chips were released in ~2018-2019; Apple was winning in single-core performance at least a year ago, at a lower TDP, with no fan.

The A14, released this year, posts a 1584/4181 @ 6 watts. This is, frankly, incomprehensible. The most powerful single core mark ever submitted to Geekbench is the brand-spanking-new Ryzen 9 5950X; a 1627/15427 @ 105 watts & $800. Apple is close to matching the best AMD has, on a DESKTOP, at 5% the power draw, and with passive cooling.

We need to wait for M1 benchmarks, but this is an architecture that the PC market needs to be scared of. There is no evidence that they aren't capable of scaling multicore performance when provided a higher power envelope, especially given how freakin low the A14's TDP is already. What of the power envelope of the 16" Macbook Pro? If they can put 8 cores in the MBA, will they do 16 in the MBP16? God forbid, 24? Zen 3 is the only other architecture that approaches A14 performance, and it demands 10x the power to do it.
Thank you for the interesting thoughts.

The Neural Engine in iPhones is used for things ranging from photography enhancement to facial recognition for the unlock and Siri.
In the business world we have Java with powerful application frameworks and libraries like Spring, which delivers everything that the business needs, and in the other end is Typescript/NodeJS which is extremely cost effective, has reasonable performance and crazy number of open source libraries. Everything in between have smaller share because these two are easily eating most of the market.
It's less about 'ashamed of their opinions' or the 'shy trump voter.' The article talks about this. The crux of the problem - at least argued by this authored and from what I see working politics backed up generally - is that those Republican / Trump voters do not trust others and are less likely to take the poll in the first place. Those that do take survey generally do not lie about their support.

The article gives evidence. Here is the section:

"I use the General Social Survey’s question, which is, “Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted or that you can’t be too careful in dealing with people?” ....

It turns out, in the GSS, that 70 percent of people say that people can’t be trusted. And if you do phone surveys, and you weight, you will get that 50 percent of people say that people can be trusted. It’s a pretty massive gap.

[Sociologist] Robert Putnam actually did some research on this, but people who don’t trust people and don’t trust institutions are way less likely to answer phone surveys. Unsurprising! This has always been true. It just used to not matter."
Yeah, Docker is an issue for me as well. Great idea! Thanks! Care to share any more details? Who is hosting what configuration?

Qt does, though - it breaks ABI and API compatibility with major releases, but the last big change was with Qt4. 5 and 6 are / will be easy to port to from earlier versions.

Consider that removing any public function / method / class is an API and ABI break. Qt does do these with major releases, but how much can vary considerably from version transition to version transition.

Because in order to operate a business (or any organization), you have to at some point decide on a group of service providers and other 3rd parties that you trust. For most organizations, trusting a major videoconferencing vendor is going to be within their risk tolerance. For some organizations (or for some use-cases within organizations) this wouldn't be acceptable (or perhaps trusting Zoom wouldn't be acceptable, where a different vendor might be), but at this point you're starting to stray outside of Zoom's target market and into a set of more specialized requirements.

Defending against sophisticated state-level actors goes even further beyond the requirements of most businesses. Unless you had a specific reason to believe that you were a target of such actors (dealing with national security, or matters of significant national strategic importance), you couldn't justify investing much resource into such defensive measures.
Mocked at the time, but looking back it sounds pretty good. Maybe Apple needs a Steve Ballmer.
