Quite honestly I don't think Xcode is ready for the iPad. It's a complicated software that has a lot of bugs that has to be fixed manually a lot of times by accessing or clearing files directly. I'm pretty sure they have a version of it already running on the iPad but the workflow or software quality is just no there yet. However if SwiftUI becomes the standard I can imagine an Xcode light as a starting point with way less panels and options.

> A touchpad is a pointer device with a similar level of precision and interaction as a mouse. One completely unlike touch.

The main difference is if you aim by using a pointer on the screen or if you aim by touching what you want to interact with. Some things like gestures are basically the same (or could be).
>I've had my phone stolen multiple times and thieves know exactly what to do to prevent 'find my' activating. I'm sure it wouldn't take them long to find/disable AirTags either.

...putting it in a faraday bag? Since tags are cheap, they can even smash it.
Hawley introduces legislation targeting Amazon, Google antitrust concerns
Also rental gear.

I could see businesses being a lot more willing to loan equipment for a trial period if they could put a tag on it.
I don’t understand why all the staunch libertarians just don’t move to a favela or some other similar place where they can enjoy absolute freedoms
Does it allow building as a completely shared library? If not, everything using it will have to be rebuilt from scratch on each update, which is highly annoying and a security issue on its own IMO. Apparently it has a Rust API, so it's probably unlikely.
It's much simpler to develop complex libraries outside of the stdlib. And given Rust's strong stability guarantees, it can't stabilize any APIs until they're finalized anyway. So development of new APIs often happens outside the stdlib and then if a third party library proves itself and can commit to a completely stable API then it might be uplifted into the stdlib, so long as there's a very strong case to do so.

I should also add that most applications won't even be using the TCP/UDP primitives directly. They'll likely be using a third party library. Rust's stdlib is intentionally minimal and lacking a lot of higher level features that are practically necessary for many applications.
The sketchy colors make it evident Apple will now cater to the riffraff. Not that that's bad for the business in any sense
Presumably the comments would be sharded and encrypted. Then each those chunks would have a hash generated for it, and each chunk would be stored as transactions on a blockchain, or more likely multiple blockchains for redundancy.

This is how the blockchain storage companies do it.
Windows 10 was released in 2015. Apple releases a new major macOS update every year. Not really surprised that you can run 6 year old software + minor updates on an 6-10 year old machine but can't run a major software revision from the past couple years.
Anyone remember the Ubuntu Edge? [0]

Perhaps with todays announcement, a bit into the future we will see a new class of phone that unfolds into a tablet and even docks to a screen with accompanying magic keyboard and trackpad.

I know, it's a real shame that I am probably dreaming. But Apple will probably never release a similar phone as it'll cannibalise one of the other products.

Maybe someone can prod shuttleworth again and see if the time for this idea can be realised? I'm sure soon it will be.

I also hope that this trend of arm minimization can continue so an idea like morph [1] will one day be come also.

I'm a decently savvy iPhone user and the traditional remote is absolute garbage.

Wonder if you can just buy the remote independently and use on old hardware?
AES-GCM is imperfectly fine and its standard has nothing to do with any of it. It's inferior in more than one way to the Chapoly-style ciphers in Sodium.

Case in point: it looks like if callers to your ECE library pass in a repeated salt through Keychain for any reason, you'll generate a duplicate nonce, which blows up GCM. There are authenticated ciphers that mitigate this problem (most commonly: by having a nonce wide enough that you can simply always generate it randomly without requiring callers to manage it); GCM, on the other hand, is the poster child for that flaw.

Since this is browser crypto, and not native execution like Magic Wormhole, all of this is irrelevant; the important distinction between the two projects isn't that one uses a lesser cryptosystem, but rather that the other uses real end-to-end cryptography and the other uses client-server cryptography pretending to be end-to-end.
I don't have an answer for that - I can only say that I had the same problem in a semi-detached house in the UK with neighbours smoking weed in their garden and the smell coming up through our (quite far away) open windows.

Your stars sound good, but I don't be able to give up being able to walk everywhere.
I think if one is going to always use their phone, then they probably bought a Chromecast at 1/4 the price. Unless they have a really strong attachment to the Apple ecosystem.
I went with Sinopharm, even though I did have the choice to take Pfizer. I prefer the idea of a traditional vaccine. I’ll see how MRNA looks after this mass beta testing is complete.
I only wished they had made the screen mountable...
That's already been answered. Stories abound about "Find My Doohickie said it was at this address. I even knocked on the door, and the person that answered said, 'yup, have your phone, whatta ya gonna do about it?'. Cops said file it with insurance." Cops don't care about a $1000 phone, they're not going to care about your bicycle, either (which has also been proven on multiple occasions).
Hi. Discourse is a discussion platform (forum), while Disqus and Cusdis are comment widget that embed to existed website (like embed in blogs). I think they are not the same.
Sure, but it's not really like Craig would say "yeah, touchscreen Macs are coming eventually, and this redesign is preparing for that" if they were. Apple doesn't do that. What I would glean from this is that they're not coming soon, and it's probably not going to be a conventional "add a touch screen to an existing interface" type deal. At the very least it leaves the option open for them here.
I always search for these paragraphs and mark them out, and let them know that I marked out the sections. They're free to redraft them or leave the marked up version. Otherwise it's time to hit the road.
For a desktop computer there are an awful lot of design compromises for the sake of thinness. The magsafe port (which the laptops do not get!?!), the weird combo power brick/ethernet dongle thing, very reduced number of ports, and most likely very poor repairability score and no upgradability.

But the thinness doesn't even buy you anything. It take up about the same footprint on your desk thanks to the stand, it's not like you're going to stick it in your pocket or purse or even carryon bag. So many design compromises for effectively no gain. The worst part is it might even be counterproductive in desktop space saving, because some users are going to end up plugging in some USB dock/port multiplier that is going to have to sit on the desk or be glued to the back of the computer.

Also 8GB memory base is almost a crime in 2021. Even if you can get away with that with your current workload, in a couple of years you're gonna be swapping. If this were a more normal machine it wouldn't be so bad because you could always just buy more memory and slap it in. But I can guarantee that the memory on this Mac cannot be upgraded. If you need more you have to throw the whole machine in the trash and buy a new one. If you want to buy one of these definitely get the expensive 16GB option. If you have to choose between upgrading the small 256GB main storage and the small 8GB of RAM, do the RAM. You can always buy an external USB drive for more storage, but you can't buy USB RAM.
I'm not in sales. I'm a devops/sysadmin person. And I didn't mean to do a sales pitch, sorry.

The downsides all wind up being worth it to me because I'm starting from the premise of "I want my smartphone as far away from me as often as possible". It allows me to decouple the primary reason I'd carry my smartphone, and carry something less unwanted instead. I'm guessing you can figure out the reasons; feeds, notifications, alerts, an operating system built for annoyance/addiction that is not Free Software, etc.

Really, though, I encourage you to try it out. Think about how much more time you had to think while walking your dog or something 20 years ago.
Why not matrix?
16GB in 2021 is still pretty tight for what is at the end of the day a premium product.
hmm I don't think I would like my device should send data for others property (AirTag) becons to cloud?

Why should I spent my data cost to send beacons for someone else?

I hope it can be disabled.
The previous license was Apache 2.0, not GPLv3
I don't know that it would have to be a full general-purpose computer. For the most part, if they found a way for Xcode to run on an iPad, I feel like MacOS would be (eventually, slowly) doomed.
Customers can personalize AirTag with free engraving, including text and a selection of 31 emoji, when purchasing them. That's a nice touch.
The freedom to run the software for any purpose is #1 on the list of software freedoms that would be called open source. No ifs, no buts, no checking whether you qualify - software is free if and only if you can run it for any purpose, everything else comes only after that basic freedom. Various viral conditions only affect the licensing of developer changes (while still not restricting the developers right to make and use these changes), but violations of this condition impose restrictions also on non-developer users on non-modified code.

Timescale license does not provide that, so obviously it's more restrictive than even the most viral of open source licences.

To be specific, the sentence "the customer is prohibited, either contractually or technically, from defining, redefining, or modifying the database schema or other structural aspects of database objects," spits in the face of all the ideals of open source. I can respect your decision to choose such a license, there are understandable practical arguments for that, but I can't respect you calling that open source - if you consider that users should be restricted with what they can do with their data schemas, if you include an explicit anti-user-freedom clause, legally mandating software developers to be hostile to their own users - then at least have the guts to openly say that you are against open source (because of all the valid reasons you have, I'm not denying that, you don't have a duty to be pro-open-source), instead of misleadingly labeling your license as such.
I'm sure you can see the distinction between two unrelated projects being called "wormhole" and two almost identical projects sharing the same name.
And this is what frustrates me so much about recent attempts at social justice activism. It’s like we find the only thing we can see on the surface and start screaming at it while the rot in the core goes unaddressed. I resist the screaming because I want to fix problems in the core. But the screaming, while not entirely unjustified, often just serves to further obfuscate and conceal the rot within. It’s hard not to feel hopeless when you see so much human capital spent fighting the symptoms.
I'm a surface pro user. Why does Apple not just put macos on the iPad and then it can go head to head for my business? The comment above said it's not as easy as just sticking macos on them. Why? (Obviously the answer could be they simply don't want to take on that market, but technically I don't see the barrier.)
It should not cost $200 for 8gb of RAM. Apple has been asking this price for like 10 years. It's ridiculous.
It is ridiculous that something as basic as having a user replaceable battery is considered an unexpected nice feature.

I have been on Slack for years, and when I tried Discord I found it practically unusable. UX is really all about what you are used to.
did not follow the events of openvslam, wouldn't they be required to still release the source code of the previously public version as GPL? also once the doubt is there, why not rerelease as GPL?
It could be, but that's something I want to provide myself. I need the ability to hook up arbitrary laptops, PCs, ... and I would just like to run less cables to my display. Having one cable for everything would be much more aesthetically pleasing than running power and two or three display connections separately.
Lol, I guess! I think most people who want a gun aren't on a single-shot suicide mission.
I can't get into the article and don't want to mess with work-arounds. Did they mention form functionality? Properly placing the cursor in the first place you need to type in a form seems to be a lost art these days both on the web and in some desktop applications. I hate typing something in when the form comes up and no form field is active and having it be lost to the ether. Doubly so if it's a password field.
3am and really dancing.. not just doing repetitive motions on the straight pulse but living trough an embodied composition based in reception. the feel when u understand the music with your whole body so well that you can anticipate whats next, so you can even rythmically juxtapose it with what you dance and all that in a life-form with others sharing this experience as value in and of itself. damn i miss dancing. stupid covid
Looks like they have moved the headphone jack from the back to the side.

On the one hand, that would be better for me, because the way my desk is laid out to plug in my headphones on my iMac I have to reach under the front and jumble around blindly.

Having the headphone jack on the left side would be easier.

On the other hand, someone with a second monitor that prefers it on the left might find that it is in the way of their headphones.

What I really wish they would do is make it so that you can keep your headphones plugged in, and choose via the Sound settings whether you want sound to go to them or the internal speakers.

EDIT: My iMac is a 2017 model. From what I've read elsewhere, they may have changed the behavior described in the "What I really wish" paragraph in later models.
So, I was curious if you are correct and the market has changed a lot, or if I'm correct and most peripherals still use USB-A. So I checked out the website of a tech reseller, sorted their keyboards by most sold, and counted the technology used.

Before I stopped counting, I found 8 wireless keyboards using bluetooth, 9 wireless keyboards using a USB-A receiver, and 10 wired keyboards using a USB-A cable. It seems like USB-A is still alive and well in the peripheral ecosystem.

Here's a link to the search results page I used: https://www.komplett.no/category/10264/datautstyr/pc-tilbeho...

It's a website which is commonly used by gamers, so wired keyboards may be over-represented compared to the general population. But it clearly shows that actually, USB-A is still really commonly used in new peripherals sold today.
On the other hand, a lost bag containing a laptop would result in the use of a lot of materials if you wanted to replace it + contents.
Rapid change is disruptive. No remedy will please locals who don't welcome those changes. Folks who lived in Austin 30 years ago (before the growth in Round Rock, Georgetown, and the Hill Country, and the invasion of high tech) chose to live there because it was affordable and offered a fun weird mix of music & academics unique for hundreds of miles (perhaps similar to Santa Fe's acculturation 40 years ago). That precious mix has diminished to make their home less weird, more commercial, and damned expensive.

There's no easy fix for this, especially in a place as extremely laissez-faire as Texas, where urban planning and zoning are seen as mortal sins.
Yes, that's exactly how it works. I'm just not sure why you're saying this. It's obvious, given the fact that both machines use the same chip and different cooling.

It has nothing to do with the shape and size of the board, which differs between the two machines significantly.
OTOH, there aren't many other sensory systems that operate over 3 orders of magnitude in frequency and 6 o.o.m. in amplitude.
I can't see what the arrow key layout is on the narrower (non-numeric-keypad) version because a hand is over it. It looks like there's a big key where there would be space above the left / right keys on the most recent one. I've got one of the interim ones where the left / right keys are full size so it's difficult to know where they are by touch, and I'm still irritated by that. I hope they haven't gone back again.

It is a great tablet experience! They could have a dual boot option where you get a MacOS for real work. Otherwise you are right, don't try to make real work happen in the current form. SO MUCH FRICTION to copy and move a file around for example.

The bulk of my use is strictly tablet stuff and I think it is really great at that.
Obviously Apple thinks that the extra sales that they get from having 7 different colors outweighs the production, supply chain and retail/physical stock complexities. But I really don't see it; are there really that many people who wouldn't have bought an iMac but because it comes it orange they suddenly want one? Who are these people?

For this Mother's Day I am thinking of getting my old mother either an iPad Pro (M1) or Macbook Air (M1). Emphasized on "old" because she is technically quite illiterate. She does use iPhone though. I wonder what will be the better gift for her? Is iPad quite foolproof? I am thinking of getting the magic keyboard as well and the mouse in case she needs a mouse.

Her workflow most likely just browsing, email, FaceTime, reading, thats all.

This seems to lump relicensing to better FOSS licenses like AGPL in with relicensing to bad non-FOSS licenses like the Commons Clause, SSPL, BSL, Redis Source Available License, and Anti-996 License. You're right about the former, but the latter is screwing over the community.

f I build a vacation home somewhere where there wasn't a house, and I neither live in it nor rent it, does it diminish anyone else's supply of housing? No, it doesn't.

You may say that it could have increased someone else's stock of housing. And that's true. But if I built it as a vacation home, then if it wasn't going to be used as my vacation home, I wouldn't have built it, so it wouldn't have increased anyone else's supply of housing anyway.

Discord reportedly dismisses Microsoft deal
If it were possible to run Linux on the iPad Pro, I would upgrade in a heartbeat to a high-end configuration.
I use an old iPod classic with a flash memory upgrade for offline audio listening and was considering this device because of perceived audio quality. From your description it sounds like this device is in the class of alibaba junk. It sounds like the software was an afterthought, fair enough. How does the audio quality compare to things like an iPhone/iPod etc?
We already have an enormous incentive - incredibly cheap housing. Mine was under 100k. But I am far, far more expensive for the public purse than when I lived in the city.

I so want to go back to an iMac... I loved mine back in ~2010.

After about one year I had a simple fan issue, the fan was making high pitch noise (revving full speed) and would start up randomly.

It was likely a very minor issue... but then i felt so powerless : to fix it I’d have had to send it back and wait, my entire development environment, private files and notes, browser with possibly logged in sessions,... I mean you have to return the entire thing... it’s not like you could replace the power adapter, or screen.

I’ve been wondering about workarounds as I don’t care for "triple a" games, plenty of awesome smaller games that dont need a beefy and hot gpu.

But the only idea i have is to install the os and everything on an external SSD so at least if i have to send it for repair, I have all my dev stuff with me.

I could also have a linux install so i can even use it in theory without the mac, but then what is the point of getting the imac and its os experience right?

So I don’t know what I am missing... how are other devs comfortable with this?
Still only semi-useful, especially if you want to run VMs. The most recent x86 iMacs could offlicially hold 128GB (4 x 32GB DIMMs).

Trade-off that biases towards iPad like thinness.

Logic board and speakers have to go somewhere, they can either go behind the display and make things thicker or they can go in the chin bar area.

I was surprised they did that too - I expected a look that was more like the pro display. Other than that though I'm pretty impressed with the design, and it is quite thin. It looks like how I'd imagine a 'future' computer to look.
I don,t have any experience with RSS on eInk, but I would rather that my RSS only contains only the title and the "pitch"(very short summary of the article, or the first paragraph). If I'm interested, with a single keyboard shortcut, my RSS reader fetches the article text for me, so I still don't have to visit the site and read the whole article from within the reader. I use InoReader, but I know NewsBlur (and probably others) has the same (fetch article text) functionality.
This will not be good for the environment.
I can’t speak to these issues, however it would be excellent to have one of these running a full OSX. I’d certainly get one if I had that level of control to develop on it and choose which software I installed without an App Store. As things stand these devices aren’t for us, so judging them on the needs of hacker news user vs more standard consumers isn’t really a fair fight. They are deliberately limited to appeal to your gran and your 6 year old and your casual user without too many issues.
