which charger does USB-C smart charging on 3 or more ports and can provide however many wats the new MBP needs while also charging the other devices?
> is there a way to recognize/prevent this?

If you have a build system capable of deterministically reproducible builds (at the level of individual bits), then the vendor can publish the commit ids for every binary, and users can build their own version from that commit and verify the signatures matched.

In practice, very few build systems offer this level of reproducibility. I've only ever seen this supported by the in-house build system at Amazon.
I still use it for our family photos (150 gigs). The par2 files cost about 5% additional storage, which I don't mind. My backups are online, on external SSDs and harddrives. I've had unexplainable corrupted photos before and I wish to take no chances.
Yep as it is based on Ubuntu
Not only does the 16” fit the 15” sleeves, it’s nearly identical in dimensions and weight to the 15” models everyone praises before the bad keyboards. It’s basically a 2015 MBP with a slightly smaller bezel.
The last paragraph mentioning touchscreens is weird. Please don't add a touchscreen to a device running a desktop OS. 99% of people won't be using it anyway, but it would lead to those atrocious spacious phone-style UIs I despise so much.
You can still search by size on Google Images (though you're limited to fairly coarse categories of sizes).

It's hidden under "Tools."
The new keyboards are utter crap!

You can imagine the Apple of old hiring a team of researchers to determine the absolute optimal key travel and springiness. The Apple of today wants to make things that look nice on display and are never actually used.
I would not recommend doing the actual certification for most small companies, however doing the IT processes doesn't cost anything if you incorporate them over 1 - 2 years, and gives you a good story.

If the prospect is just asking if you're compliant to exclude you as a vendor, then you need to find out right away and drop them as a prospect. Likely if they require SOC2, they also require other paperwork, payment terms, bank account clawback agreement, etc. that you don't want either.

If you want to pay a nominal amount for a compliance strategy, leave a comment where I can find your email address.
> Besides that point, Apple is pretty much the opposite of free computing. It's a gross comparison.

Isn't that what they said? They stated that one of the reasons to create a new OS is that Apple is a closed platform. You can't blame them to go further than that in a marketing video, it's not like they're posting anonymous comments on an internet forum.
Cool! On top of this if they would reintroduce the headphone jack on the iPhone, they would completely redeem themselves in my books.

> On one hand, this seems like welcome news for many of us. Who doesn't miss MagSafe?

I don't miss MagSafe 2. The laptops had gotten light enough that the selling point (would come detached if someone snagged the cord) meant that the magnet had to be weakened. The cord constantly came undone.

Bits attracted by the magnet would be lodged in the port sometimes, interfering with the charging in odd ways as well.

I had a lot of Magsafe 1 chargers, which compounded the frustration. I had to use a little magnetic dongle.

The cord was attached to the brick directly, so when it frayed (not if, when) you were out $100. Your brick was now a brick.

It was a big charger I couldn't use to charge anything else I travelled with (phone, ipad, headphones, etc), _and_ there were zero third party accessories (battery packs, etc) that worked with it because it was proprietary/patent protected.

If laptops have enough power to go 12+ hours on a single charge, the value of magsafe goes way down. I'm not operating the thing on a kitchen table with a cord draped down and across the room to the wall. I am charging it overnight.

Not to mention, there's a huge benefit of sitting down at a desk and having a single USB-C/TB cable to plug in to get connected to everything, including power.

If the choice was magsafe or USB-C charging, I'd pay extra for USB-C.

Obama reduced the number of troops in Iraq/Afghanistan quite a bit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_of_U.S._troops_from...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_of_U.S._troops_from...

The remaining troops were there in an advisory capacity. And Trump has been trying to pull out those advisors.

The needle has been pretty steadily moving for the last 10 years, it's just been slow going. It's also debatable if the number of troops there should ever be zero if they're only acting as advisors.
It's crackpots the whole way down. The whole Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (which is responsible for the release of the Navy UFO videos) was spearheaded by Robert Bigelow, who bought "Skinwalker Ranch" because he believed there were inter-dimensional portals and aliens were mutilating cows.

>>The only reason flash loans even work with no collateral is because you can be sure nothing else is running on the “world computer” while your transaction runs, so you can roll it back with no risk except gas fees.

The more important reason flash loans work on Ethereum is that Ethereum runs programmatic contracts that can take the output of a function call from a different contract as their input. This is something that doesn't exist outside of the world of smart/programmatic contracts.

The blockchain just provides the immutable ordering of transactions and credible neutrality of access-control needed for the state of programmatic contracts to accrue value.
Smart contracts are basically code that can execute and directly interact with cryptocurrency and crypto-tokens. This code is executed atomically; every block; and the entire namespace of Ethereum is callable allowing you to pull together any other contracts or platforms.

No, without 230 businesses just wouldn't have business models where UGC without pre-publication editorial review was part of their business model because there would be no way to make such a business model viable in the face of liability. General liability law was evolving in ways which were starting to make that clear at the time the Communications Decency Act was being drafted, which is why Section 230, a protection that was seen as essential to prevent the imminent destruction of the participatory net, was included in the CDA as a major tool to get political support for supporting the state censorship that made up the rest of the CDA. (Perhaps ironically, Section 230 is the only operative part of the CDA not struck down as unconstitutional.)

Apple hasn't even documented their matrix extension, apparently thinking that people shouldn't compile against them directly but instead use their accelerate framework.

Further, they use their private llvm branch and haven't pushed the pipeline description tables for AFAIK any of their arm chips to upstream llvm.

So while I agree it would be interesting, I wouldn't hold my breath.
It sets a base fee. It does not prevent a miner from forming their own blocks with whatever transactions they want and in whatever order they want.

Utility of money is nonlinear. Usually people point to its asymptotic sublinearity, but at smaller scales the value of money has all sorts of spikes when you hit threshold values.

The upshot of which is that even bets with negative expected value can have positive expected utility depending on where you are on the curve.

Yes, me too within the first months. It improved steadily over about a year, but didn't change too much after that. The best analogy is that I would previously think in long paragraphs, and after I would think in sentences. I had to write notes as I was thinking otherwise I would lose my train of thought pretty easily.

But, I had pretty great success with hyperbaric oxygen therapy [1] in combination with oxiracetam [2][3]. I would highly recommend looking into it, and it might be covered by your insurance. I was really struggling with work, and it definitely helped that, my lack of motivation, my muted personality, and some anger issues. My wife says she noticed a big difference and claims I'm now back to normal. I would say that I now can think in short paragraphs, which is sure a lot better than before! My brain is my job, so the cost was easily justified. It really was a big change in a short amount of time.

The weirdest and shittiest lingering problem is that I have apparently mostly lost the sensation of needing to breathe. Before the oxygen therapy I could just hold my breath and literally not notice. It took me passing out a few times to realize that I was forgetting to breath during conversation. This made exercise difficult. After the oxygen therapy, a slight urge to breathe has come back. I can exercise, and I'm not afraid to swim now, but if I'm deep in thought, I'll forget to breathe and end up feeling pretty terrible. I plan on buying a continuous, wearable, oxygen monitor...

Note that the oxiracetam was my thing, not prescribed by the doctor (he did approve of it though, as long as I was taking some choline supplement). I now take ~1g/day with 200mg centrophenoxine (choline), and fish oil on weekdays. This seems to really help.

[3] Can't find the exact NIH reference for this one that I really liked, but I'll reply when I find it. But, the concept is (my understanding) that capillaries grow where oxygen is needed. A TIA will tremendously clog capillaries. The neurons that were deprived from the clogged capillaries don't receive enough oxygen to metabolism enough to promote new capillary growth. So they stay "dormant". Promoting capillary growth and waking up these dormant ones is how someone with a stroke really benefits. This was all echoed by the doctor that reviewed my situation before the therapy could start.
>Cloud isn’t really challenged yet....

AWS are estimated to be ~50% of HyperScalers.

HyperScalers are estimated to be 50% of Server and Cloud Business.

HyperScalers are expanding at a rate faster than other market.

HyperScaler expanding trend are not projected to be slowing down anytime soon.

AWS intends to have all of their own workload and SaaS product running on Graviton / ARM. ( While still providing x86 services to those who needs it )

Google and Microsoft are already gearing up their own ARM offering. Partly confirmed by Marvell's exit of ARM Server.

>The problem is single core Arm performance outside of Apple chips isn’t there.

Cloud computing charges per vCPU. On all current x86 instances, that is one hyper-thread. On AWS Graviton, vCPU = Actual CPU Core. There are plenty of workloads, and large customers like Twitter and Pinterest has tested and shown AWS Graviton 2 vCPU perform better than x86. All while being 30% cheaper. At the end of the day, it is workload / dollars that matters on Cloud computing. And right now in lots of applications Graviton 2 are winning, and in some cases by large margin.

If AWS sell 50% of their services with ARM in 5 years time, that is 25% of Cloud Business Alone. Since it offer a huge competitive advantage Google and Microsoft has no other choice but to join the race. And then there will be enough of a market force for Qualcomm, or may be Marvell to Fab a commodity ARM Server part for the rest of the market.

Which is why I was extremely worried about Intel. The lucrative Server market is basically gone. ( And I haven't factored in AMD yet ) 5 years in Tech hardware is basically 1-2 cycles. And there is nothing on Intel's roadmap that shown they have the chance to compete apart from marketing and sales tactics. Which still goes a long way if I have to be honest, but not sustainable in long term. It is more of a delaying tactics. Along with a CEO that despite trying very hard, had no experience in market and product business. Luckily that is about to change.

Evaluating ARM switch takes time, Software preparation takes time, and more importantly, getting wafer from TSMC takes time as demand from all market are exceeding expectations. But all of them are already in motion, and if these are the kind of response you get from Graviton 2, imagine Graviton 3.

I don't understand this response, I have seen it repeated many times over many threads about cyberpunk.

I don't get the logic. Feels like St Thomas.

Personally I had to get a refund after a few hours because of dozens of crashes, and an unreasonable amount of bugs, and I really wanted to play that game. I even installed Windows to be sure it wasn't Proton related. My PC is high-end.
>They add visual noise.

Which is a good thing, since it prevents errors such as this one. Extra verbosity with mandatory braces is noise (to the degree that without it, the compiler could still infer what we mean), but some degree of verbosity is a good thing, as it helps make patterns in the code more evident.

In which case we might want to call it a more fitting error than the dismissing "noise".

How about "dither"?

> The main benefit of constructing objects and tying them together via DI is to allow polymorphic handling of responsibilities.

This is already provided by interfaces, as previously discussed. To be clear, dependency injection makes sense; however, dependency injection frameworks don’t make sense to me.

> The underlying data in different implementations will be different. This is something Golang fails terribly at because it doesn't have polymorphism.

Go definitely has always had polymorphism; that’s the whole point of interfaces.

> The way Golang works, and the reccomended patterns for Golang are somewhat anti-DI.

DI (assemble your object graph in main() instead of distributing it across dozens of constructors a la OOP) is idiomatic Go; DI frameworks are not.

Actually, I don't think Snowden did that much. He exposed crimes, sure. But they still happen in darkness now. So there's this drifting time element to his story. It's in the past. And the systems that are in place for accountability didn't result in any accountability. Rather things just went dark.

Maybe have a ponder about, if Snowden didn't happen, what would be different about today?

Upside from Snowden, the intel community got better controls around administrator access on their networks.
