The question is, why bloat the standard library with something that would take a couple of lines to implement yourself or as a library? More languages should release new features as libraries instead of forcing it into the "global" space of the standard library.
Hmm, for the laptop I'd be happy if I could turn off the built in display to get a second external display. That would literally be a big enough change that I would have already bought one instead of not having done so.

I guess I'd be happy with an ipad-m1-computer if

- It could run desktop software.

- It could do that.

Unfortunately, having a feature that requires turning off the built in display doesn't seem like Apple's style.

I'm not sure how you determined I was complaining from a comment that is simply pointing out a fact. The individual I replied to asked if bad traffic was true or not, and I indicated it is.
Tile has been complaining for some time that their products are flaky because new iOS privacy measures prevent them from accessing location data while running in the background, even if the user sets the app permission to "always allow."

Really? I believe that for ocean circumnavigation the rule is that you had to cross the equator, which rules out polar shenanigans.

You can also do this with a wrapper around setTimeout, if you're in an older environment:

/\*
\* A sleep function that returns a promise.
\*
\* @example
\* Sleep for 100ms
\* ```
\* await wait(100);
\* ```
\*/
export async function wait(ms: number) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(resolve, ms);
});
}
You're less able to purchase the same size of land but size really isn't that interesting unless you're planning to farm it.
Fair, my setup is almost identical, except I also do some video editing and I have been very happy with the 16GB MBP 13" (coming from a 32GB MBP 16"). So maybe consider trying to swap your 8GB for a 16GB before thinking you absolutely need 32GB.
Better than being a hellscape in 6 months-2 years due to forced integration with Teams.
I'm guessing it's anodized aluminum... so will come out differently. I'm not sure it's really worth it... would be happy with a black option, but I'm never going to buy an all in one, so not the target audience.
Only 8GB RAM? Pity.

EDIT: my bad, the configurator wasn't obvious to me so I made a mistake.
I don't like Apple at all, but I have to admit that HW-wise this iPad really looks interesting.

Now, please Apple, keep the bootloader unlocked (or unlockable), let us install Asahi Linux (or any other distro, really) and I'll buy this thing.
I wish I could "lose" by cashing out with $30 billion.

The truth is there is no room for a standalone service in an area as competitive as enterprise communication. Microsoft would be able to undercut them in price no matter what. Bundling is the only way forward, and hopefully Salesforce can put in the resources to keep it competitive.
> I think that's misunderstanding of AGPL.

That's GPs point.
Is this max 8gb ram ?
Yeah we just have a totally different workflow where you provide a doc and that has all the material already included. There’s no adhoc sketching stuff because we think that through before taking anyone’s time.

It’s just a different way of working. But it pays dividends when you have people spread across time zones. Plus none of it is throw-away work. The docs are there for anyone to reference any time in the future.
> iOS devices can also detect an AirTag that isn’t with its owner, and notify the user if an unknown AirTag is seen to be traveling with them from place to place over time.

I don't have iOS devices.

> And even if users don’t have an iOS device, an AirTag separated from its owner for an extended period of time will play a sound when moved to draw attention to it.

What is the definition of an extended period of time? One week? Two?
Well, this is supposed to be a professional desktop machine. I don't want to run my work machine off of wifi that could randomly disconnect in the middle of meetings though. I know I'm not the only one. They could have spent the 3 dollars per machine it would cost them to add an ethernet jack, but instead they're going to have you spend $20 on some adapter dongle.

As for USB-A, there are tons of peripherals still in existence out there. Maybe you're fucking loaded and you don't care about just buying everything USB-C, but that's definitely not the case for everyone. Suppose I have a nice USB-A optical mouse and mechanical keyboard that I like for example, or a really nice $200 audio interface. I guess I need to buy yet more dongles, or throw them away and replace everything with USB-C peripherals because some 20yo on HN says that USB-A is legacy. Thanks Apple. You definitely value user experience above all else.
One of the reasons of course is that every driver feels the need to add their great pane to the control panel applet, so now Microsoft can’t change anything to the applet or all the drivers break.

I'm not totally sure how it works (the only connection between my ATV and my AV system is HDMI) but adjusting the volume --- on my receiver --- works fine from the Apple TV iPhone remote.
I interpreted the end as “took psychedelic mushrooms and lost your keys? AirTag’s got your back”.

I think this is the only "Javascript has too few third party libraries" take I've ever heard.
I own a 2018 iPad Pro, and it's possibly the best & most versatile device I've ever owned. Among the things I use it for are: surfing the web whilst on the couch, checking in on my RSS feeds, casual gaming, watching movies, reading PDF & Kindle e-books, handwritten & typed notes for work & study, replying emails, portable RDP, VNC & SSH client on the go. And I'm probably still forgetting a lot of things...
At that point, what's the difference to MBA? iPad will always be subpar in my eyes due to poor lappability in "laptop" mode. And I realised I don't want my work screen to be covered in fingerprints.
> Cloud providers must share contributions

To be really strict: AGPL only mandates that contributions be shared with the user. The freedom of users is more important than the freedom of developers.

Of course an upstream maintainer can be a user and get the contributions.
Not necessarily, you could have a few large requests that each do a lot of database work at the backend, that would also be high IO. IO is just any low level network or disk activity that is typically done by the kernel, not the userspace (nodejs) itself.
The M1 is using LPDDR4X-4266. It's possible that packages bigger than 8GB just don't exist (8GB was all that was announced just a few years ago, and the RAM announcements usually come far ahead of shipping usages https://www.anandtech.com/show/11021/sk-hynix-announces-8-gb... ).

That'd then be 1 module = 8GB, and 2 modules in a daisy chain or T-topology gets you 16GB, and there just isn't anything more to be done without a bigger memory controller (more channels) or bigger DRAM modules.
And 99.99% of users don't modify the code so it's irrelevant.

The majority of bike thieves in Portland are not going to buy a $15-$20 RF detector because that would have to come out of their meth budget. They are not a tech-savvy lot.
> Planned obsolescence has never really been Apple's style (their devices generally get longer software support and have better resale value than anyone else).

I think that only applies to their mobile devices. I have had Intel Macs that can't run the latest MacOS but can still Boot Camp into Windows 10. Of course, this is all moot in a post-Intel Apple world.
Personally, I'm finding the transition from Slack to Teams absolutely maddening. Do people actually prefer Teams or is it that many large enterprises already had Office 365 licenses?

Comments need moderation. The blockchain/decentralization ain't great for moderation... And not everything has to be "discoverable" (= have a public database)

Unless you're fine with re-inventing known best-practices ofc.
> There are so many times I need to debug some tooling, and being able to to just open the stack trace and place a breakpoint/console.log is incredibly valuable. I do it all the time for webpack/babel.

That sounds more like an indictment of Webpack than anything else.
On the other hand, the background images seem like a bit of a reflection on those olden days; looks a lot like the default desktop backgrounds from back then (which still look good! but just not at retina resolutions).
Surprisingly, or maybe not, slf4j requires an implementation to be provided at runtime to log anything.
Because I don't want to have to download some yahoos library just to have a timeout that behaves like a promise.

I prefer my batteries included. Also importing from "timers/promises" isn't a global namespace.
Sounds like a good time to give them the finger and find a new job. If you're a regular contributor to the kernel you no doubt have the skills to find a better circumstance that working for a dinosaur.
> Does this render it useless for anti-theft, then?

The other question is: when presented with evidence of stolen property, will the local PD enforce the law and assist with the retrieval of said property?
So if I understand this correctly...

They under-doped certain areas to create depletion mode transistors that any reverse engineer examining the silicon would expect are regular enhancement mode ones. They strategically placed a handful of these "disguised" transistors, which once incorrectly copied would switch in the opposite manner and wreak havoc on circuit operation.

According to one of the designers[1]:

I heard from NEC later the copy maker delayed the announcement of Z80 compatible product for about six months.

I was really hoping they would add touchID to the magic trackpad. I love my trackpad but there's no way I'm trading in my nice mechanical keyboard for a magic keyboard, and I doubt they'll add it to both peripherals.
Presumably "extended period of time" is several days, not several hours.
Well, given the power supply is mostly out of the box, I would expect it not to be along the lines of the Mac mini, which has a fully internal power supply, thus my original comment.
It doesn’t. It is more a consumer console than personal computer IMO
> they could do this in a way that they are worthless for potential competitors (e.g. if the contribution depends on a proprietary Amazon system)

That is not allowed.

"""The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work."""

(Emphasis on that last part mine.)

"""Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software."""

If Amazon modifies Grafana so it depends on a proprietary Amazon system, the source code for that system is included in the Corresponding Source, and if they allow users to interact with that modified version, they need to provide them with access to the proprietary system's source code.

I'm holding out for a 27" version that hopefully comes with the next M chip and in black.
It uses HDMI ARC but it's pretty flaky from the iPhone in my experience. Works more consistently with the remote itself. No idea why.
Reduces egress costs from less steps (where you're paying for bandwidth each time you move bits), no need to manage your own lambda functions, more predictable pricing, API out of the box for variant configuration and image association, easy turn up for existing Cloudflare customers. Would expect it's trivial to CNAME a subdomain of a domain you own to their own white label domain for this service.
This is a confusing name choice, since the real Magic Wormhole --- whose command is literally "wormhole" --- is vetted and widely used, and this new "Wormhole.app" is not. I'd consider changing it, since you're going to get this response any time you talk about Feross Wormhole among clueful types, and the comparison (right now at least) isn't very favorable to you. At best, it suggests you're not familiar with Magic Wormhole, which would be a strange credential for someone trying to do a new secure file transfer system.
So it does. That's great!
It's no mystery where it came from.

A very similar virus (SARS-CoV-1) came very close to sparking a global pandemic in 2004. In late 2017 that virus was found in bats in a cave in Yunnan, China.

The closest known relative to SARS-CoV-2 has no name, just the code RaTG13. In 2013 three miners cleaned out bat shit from a mine in China and all three died of viral pneumonia caused by RaTG13. Why that didn't spark a pandemic is not known, but basically we got lucky for the second time.

Then, in 2019, we had the third incident, but this time we didn't get lucky.

In theory this virus could have come from a lab, but it's far, far more likely it came from wild bats. And its cousin SARS-CoV-1 is still out there in bats. It could be let loose for the second time at any moment.

That lab doesn't worry me. Bats do.
Personally, if they make it a general-purpose computer, I'll be eagerly waiting for them or someone else to create the next iPad. It's already gone too far that way, IMO—I like it as a slab of smart glass that can become, entirely, a whole bunch of different, separate, specific tools, not as yet another complex, generic, multi-tasking computer. In that respect, it's mostly been going downhill since iOS 6, IMO, as far as the OS interface and behavior.
We can just blame all the companies for doing X, we don't have to be so selective. Apple and Samsung both removes user replaceable batteries? Well, screw both of them then.
Likely cheaper for Apple for sufficient performance. The original HomePod used a two-year old A Series Chip too.
Slack has a million enterprise focused features. If your company's Discord server has to go through eDiscovery for a lawsuit, for example, you are going to have a bad time.
You can run drawing apps on it in conjunction with Pencil. Those could benefit from increased power if you're working with many layers.
Probably would leave it alone for a while- Much like Git.
> But the "anti-stalking" feature will notify someone if an AirTag they don't own appears to be traveling with them.

Another case of your device working against your interests.

I don't care if you have something to hide or not. This just sucks at a fundamental level.
Almost positive it’s configurable for more
No moment of silence needed. I have a iPad Pro 12.9 and its awesome for consuming content and drawing. For everything else there is a real computer. I can't use the iPad to program my Drone, or Run a CNC, or Play steam games, or link to the Oculus, or run VS Code, or use Fusion 360, or Run Linux or Windows VM's. Or, or... or ...

I love my iPad, but it is very, very far from a good computer interface right now.
Something that might be being overlooked - it looks like this supports pairing Xbox One controllers that use Xbox Wireless! This is a different standard than Bluetooth and should enable everyone who has Xbox controllers to easily use them in Apple Arcade. Impressive!

Apparently they can be disabled with any NFC enabled device: https://apple.com/newsroom/2021/04/apple-introduces-airtag/

>[...] And even if users don’t have an iOS device, an AirTag separated from its owner for an extended period of time will play a sound when moved to draw attention to it. If a user detects an unknown AirTag, they can tap it with their iPhone or NFC-capable device and instructions will guide them to disable the unknown AirTag.

It is better supported on iPhones, but that's acceptable:

>iOS devices can also detect an AirTag that isn’t with its owner, and notify the user if an unknown AirTag is seen to be traveling with them from place to place over time.

I'd like this detection to come in stock Android, similar to how the Contact Tracing thing was shared b/w Apple/Google.
Do you think Tile will be allowed to participate? At what cost?
Pix 2104.20: DirectX 12 Agility SDK Support, New Occupancy Graphs
This looks like a pretty good computer, I'm a little disappointed with the design and color options though. For starters, there definitely needs to be an option for a color matched or even black screen border. That white strip looks tacky and ugly in my opinion, and seems like a very strange direction for Apple to go in when I thought they left it behind on the old Macbook Airs. I don't like it, and it looks like the peak of "cheap Mac". Not to mention, it would destroy the dark mode experience. I'm also pretty disappointed with the stand on this thing. I would have loved to see a dual hinge design, a-la the Surface Studio that could bend down to be a sort of slate experience. Especially with the focus on wireless peripherals, this would have been a great choice for the Mac, considering it's new design language. Ah well.

Oh, and the pricing. So confusing for the different models. The "base" model has less ports and gets an inferior keyboard out of the box, and it also has a worse-binned chip inside too. You pay an extra few hundred dollars, and you get to choose between more colors, have a non-gimped GPU, and you still don't even have 16 gigs of memory? This originally looked like a decent deal, but I'd really like to see Apple move forwards on this thing. 512 gigs needs to be standard, and Apple is the only manufacturer holding the industry back. The more I read into it, this kinda seems like a hatchet job by Apple standards. I suppose I'll hold my judgement until the reviews roll in, but... I'm not sure who this is for. Rich kids?
Node has always supported native addons, and since 2017 it also provides a stable ABI making the process a whole lot easier[1].

That said, in my own experience it was seldom worth it to rewrite something in C++ for performance sake. After rewriting some computationally heavy part as a native addon, I often ended up gaing only ~20% more perfomance at best when compared to properly optimized JS implementation, and even that was not guaranteed since V8 improved rapidly. That was not a good enough reason to keep a whole different tool chain around, so I'd end up going back to JS.

It is not that bacteria can't become resistant to phages. It is that it is comparatively easy to make new phages to the resistant bacteria. Being viruses, they will evolve with the bacteria they target.

The problem with antibiotic resistance is not the resistance itself, but that we don't seem to find new antibiotics anymore. As a result, once bacteria are resistant to all what we have, it is the end.
I bet they won’t call it an iMac Pro but it will be the higher-end iMac.
The "connect box" could just be a computer itself, like the Mac mini, that you connect to the display via Thunderbolt
The only place I've seen that is cash strapped and personnel short startups.
Actually I just looked it up. They were named after a restaurant of the same name. I wonder if the restaurant got its name from this story though?
Every SaaS application has probably blown past its SLA thanks to this. Not sure if anyone will trust this site anymore.
Can this thing really only power a single external display or is a single display just suggested? I have one on each side of my ancient late 2013 iMac and I'd hate to have to lose one.
Bluetooth is pretty power-thrifty, yes. But the Tile app was kind of power-hungry, since it had to wake up the phone's CPU periodically to keep track of which devices were in range.
The speakers are in the chin. Network port is on the power brick.
Configurable to 16GB.
Good answer! Apple doesn’t seem to shy away from “odd” numbers, like 4.5K resolution model

I would go with supply combined with having enough supply of the 8gb modules but not enough of the 12gb ones that it would create strange tiers, while they would lean towards a 24gb machine
No -- it has be 'over time' which can be inferred to mean more than 2 hours.
And? I don't use spotify and you shouldn't use that proprietary crap either.
While it is true that Grafana's new license is still FOSS not every company, public cloud provider is willing to accept the AGPLv3 license[1]. Hence a fork with the old license is not unlikely.

An external camera will blow away the quality of the ipad camera and work better under a variety of situations. In truth, by the time zoom is done compressing my video, I'm not completely convinced that higher-res input makes a difference.

The macbook air gets higher performance (I doubt they can fit that large heatsink in the ipad) and has better battery life too.

In any case, it's academic because I can't run the software I actually need on an ipad.
Has there been any official acknowledgment of the various reports of massive SSD writes on M1 Macs?

I’d hate for any of these to have a life I’d just few years due to that, especially as my 2013 MBP is still my primary machine.
Yeah I just use a combination of my Mac and iPhone to do all that. The iPad is an awkward middle spot for me. Different strokes.
Would have loved to see a way to connect my work laptop and use this as a secondary display. Also more sustainable since monitors tend to be useful for longer than compute and memory.
