> but when was the last time you heard anyone say anything about it?

Literally during the latest iPhone announcement where Apple was even timid about showing off the front of the display or talking about the smaller notch, as everyone mocked how dated the notch looked.
Have Macbook Pro sales been declining for the past few years? I can understand removing the touchbar as a bad experiment but I thought Apple was obstinate about the move to USB-C. Really did not expect this backpeddling.

Edit - I'm definitely pleased with the move to add more ports. Just surprised.
I would prefer the menubar to not be messed up.
> I hate having to waste time figuring out the type of every variable and hold it in my head every single time I read a piece of code.

For the same reason, I’m not a fan of type-inferring variable declarations.
It’s almost like it’s just about marketing and not much else…
A lot of respect for a war monger responsible for killing million random people? No offence, but this says a lot about your ethics.
Nasty much? We like jumping on to blame `lusers` here on HN, but this is a design problem. It's a fact of life people lose things, and Apple conveniently forgot about this to push the dongle ecosystem.
I just want a pair of airpods that allow me to have a conversation outdoors. I'm always getting feedback that the ambient noise makes it difficult for people to hear me talk. I can't even do the dishes while on a call without people complaining.
So something huge is incoming and Facebook is reduced to last minute squeaking on Twitter.

Oh dear.
All of my Apple laptops (maybe even all their products) see about 5 to 8 years of service. Sometimes with me, sometimes as hand-me-downs. So they’ve been pretty excellent at not winding up in the trash.

Even software updates often stretch as far back as 5 year old models, so they’re pretty good with this.
> The DDR being closer to the core may or may not allow the memory to run at higher speeds due to better signal integrity, but you can purchase DDR4-5333 today whereas the M1 uses 4266.

My understanding is that bringing the RAM closer increases the bandwidth (better latency and larger buses), not necessarily the speed of the RAM dies. Also, if I am not mistaken, the RAM in the new M1s is LP-DDR5 (I read that, but it did not stay long on screen so I could be mistaken). Not sure how it is comparable with DDR4 DIMMs.
Yes, the 5950X has 16 big CPU cores and 64 MB of L3 cache.
Due to EMTALA, hospitals are legally required to treat unstable patients regardless of vaccination status.
Not sure if you mean the Gen 1 or Gen 2 T14s, but as I pointed out in the article, both the T14s Gen 2 and P14s Gen 2 can be configured with up to 48GB of RAM, albeit with the lopsided arrangement of 16GB being soldered on while the remaining 32GB are in the upgradable slot as a regular SODIMM.

I really feel an arrangement like this should be outlawed, it really makes little to sense to not have both be regular, upgradable SODIMMs like almost every other normal laptop.

Yay magsafe is back.

Boo magsafe is now a brand new one, incompatible with old chargers, and even usb-c chargers. YAY! Rejoice!

Jesus I hate apple's policies on dongles and such.

But at least they ackgnowledged that everyone wants an hdmi connection. Everyone.
No ink, no scan: Canon USA printers hit with class-action suit
I know that’s what people believe and hint at. That’s the point of the original statistic. To give this distorted unproven worldview.

Who do you think does most of the work across the country?

Stock owners aren’t actually doing much. They also aren’t paying high rates of taxes.

why wouldn’t one of these people think why is income tax different than capital gains tax to the extent it is.

Or why their limited money doesn’t allow them to earn money just for having money. While those top 10% can avg close to 10% a year on their saved money in the form of investments (before inflation, fees). Yet there’s no wealth tax or any other way to not make things seem illogical that the mere fact of having money begets more money.

Can these questions not be asked before either thanks or fuck you.
I think the problem would be how one chip can access the memory of the other one. The big advantage in the M1xxxx is the unified memory. I don't think the chips have any hardware to support cache coherency and so on spanning more than one chip.
I really wonder if the CPU cores are able to access the memory with the specified high bandwith or if its just for the GPU cores.
Yeah I think it's an unfortunate step backwards. Now I have to carry around a SD card reader that I'll never use, hard-connected to my system.
And if Apple doesn't provide that app, it will break after every update.
This is the laptop they compared: https://us-store.msi.com/index.php?route=product/product&pro...
Personally I think they will keep the 13” MacBook Pro as the entry level one with a lower tier cpu compared to 14” and 16”. Their old line up had an entry level 13” while the 15” was more capable so that’s what I’m basing it on but my guess is as good as any.
Single handedly?

>According to iFixit, the Surface Laptop isn’t repairable at all. In fact, it got a 0 out of 10 for repairability and was labeled a “glue-filled monstrosity.”

The lowest scores previously were a 1 out of 10 for all previous iterations of the Surface Pro

Ah I see, that seems to be a reasonable concern.
2k USD for a laptop in 2021?

Apple's goddamn genius. Oh, it has a newer processor that'll make awful software such as XCode and every internet browser a little faster? Well I'm in!
Is it the late-2019 16" MBP?

If so, that's not the keyboard everyone hates. They were already backtracking the butterfly switches by that point
Now you're being pedantic!
I wish that we could compare Intel/AMD at the 5nm process to these chips, to see how much speedup is the architecture vs the process node.

Also, all of the benchmarks based on compiling code for the native platform are misleading, as x86 targets often take longer to compile for (as they have more optimization passes implemented).
They'll display the same way they did on the smaller screens, or with lower DPI settings enabled I'm guessing.
If they'd only add touchscreens. Sigh.

Edit: Ouch, so many downvotes just for asking for a feature. Weird.
In the screenshots shown, most of the apps do not have menubars which extend to that space at that display resolution — this could definitely be more of an issue for people who increase the size for accessibility reasons.

From the full-screen screenshots, it appears that it's simply black across the top of the screen unless the application has been designed to support it. That looked like the regular Safari developer tools with an unbroken bar slightly lower down in the video.
I've tried every single form-fitting ear tip type, model and brand barring custom-molded ones. I've tried cheap ones, I've tried expensive ones ($300-ish).

Every. Single. One. falls right out of my ears if I do anything else than sit quietly without moving my head.

Regular wireless AirPods? They stay in no matter what I do. Sweating like Jordan Peele in the meme? They stay in. Running? Stay in.
2013-2022 will probably still be in demand for anybody that's camping out on Mojave to keep 32 bit support or has Intel-related needs, though that demand profile will of course change over time.

Framework + Linux sure seems compelling, though. I'm definitely tempted to try it.
There is one: Cloudflare isn't profitable.

Cloudflare is still in growth mode: They're losing money hand-over-fist. AWS, on the other hand, is a money-printing machine.

Personally, I don't trust Cloudflare until they achieve profitability. They're going to have to raise their rates one day, and alienate the majority of their customers.

> "consist of airline pilots"

Note the lack of citations. Presumably referring to Southwest Airlines, which anti-vax kooks claimed was in support of their views.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/southwest-flight-cancellat... "No Evidence Southwest Pilots Called Out Due to COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement" - "In early October 2021, a false claim spread on social media that Southwest Airlines canceled a large number of flights due to flight personnel calling out sick in protest of COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The rumor was spread in part by elected leaders like U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. Linked in Cruz’s tweet above is an Oct. 10, 2021, CNBC article reporting Southwest stated it canceled 1,800 flights due to bad weather and air traffic control issues."

> police officers

That's true. And they are dying at a higher rate than if they had gotten vaccinated. "COVID is the #1 killer of LEOs in 2020 and 2021" - https://www.odmp.org/ .
Maybe they are going to remove Face ID from iPhones instead, which would be a good decision?
Basically, be one punch man than be Superman. Got it.
They're not meant to go together like that -- there's not really an interconnect for it, or any pins on the package to enable something like that. Apple would have to design a new Mx SoC with something like that as an explicit design goal.
It would be nice if this were accurately tracked somewhere so it can be called out and Lenovo being shamed for offering. If you have references to where this is logged, it'd be great. I've not heard of such a problem independently, but I'm interested in knowing more about that.
> Static type checking raises the floor on incompetence, but also lowers the ceiling on excellence.

At 40 years old, I've seen enough of my own incompetence that I'll gladly accept things that can mitigate it. As for excellence, I suppose static typing would have prevented a handful of clever hacks that I did in Python and Lua when I was in my 20s, 12+ years ago. Truthfully though, my memory of that period has faded enough that I'm not sure, and I doubt that any of those hacks were crucial for the products that I was developing at that time. Yes, a type system as primitive as Java's at that time would have felt like a straitjacket. The same might have also been true for C#. But modern static type systems are much more flexible, and I don't think I've rejected a language based on its static type system in the past several years. (I've recently done a project in Elixir, but that was despite its dynamic typing, not because of it.)
i'm guessing it has to do with the new M1 chips and their great power efficiency. back with the intel chips, an SD card slot or HDMI port consumed valuable internal real estate that could have been filled with battery instead, and filling it with battery was a better trade-off for most people.

with the new chips, they can comfortably sacrifice some battery size.
> If you’re claiming people who are in alignment with official tax government policy (again in the spirit not just the letter of the law) are free riders, then we are back to who should assume the responsibility for paying. As stated in my previous post.

Sure, I agree with this assessment up to first order. But this is a bit slippery because of second order effects where you can pay to have a favorable tax code created (or at least pay to substantially increase the odds of such a policy being created).

> Taking the standard deduction or simply claiming straightforward deductions like the mortgages interest deduction is not tax avoidance when done in the spirit of the law, which, anecdotally, is the case for most middle to low income filers.

I agree with this.

> I find it extremely implausible that majority of people who don’t pay income tax are doing so as a result of complex financial schemes.

For the short-term Covid-related spike of people not paying due to unemployment and temporary tax credits, sure I agree. In general case, though, the schemes don't have to be very complex and you can just pay people to set them up for you.

Also, the number or percentage of people who don't pay income tax is an indicator of how easy tax avoidance has gotten. That's why that number is quoted. But since the distribution of wealth is so skewed, what really matters in the free rider context is the amount of money not paid into the system.

And for this I don't think it's at all implausible (and is in fact consistent with what we know) to say that the wealthiest Americans pay extremely low income tax rates because of tax avoidance. (Here I am including the creation of favorable tax policy as tax avoidance if it's contrary to the spirit of the US's policy of progressive income tax.)
Static linking good for vendor, dynamic linking good for maintainers. Some distros already made exception from "no bundled libraries" rule for Rust. Now we need to add another exception just for Rust. Maybe, it's time for Rust to catch up and implement dynamic linking instead?
From your link it says the top 10% received 47.7% of gross income but paid 71.4% of total income taxes paid.

Why do you think that if they receive 47.7%, they should pay 90% of the taxes?
Presumably Netflix feels that those rejected people lack the skill and expertise of the people they hired instead. Would Netflix be willing to take the downgrade to avoid having employees protest?
Understood, but after using the Surface Book at 3000x2000@13.5" (267 PPI), I'm spoiled. The text is a lot better.
The notch reminds me of Macron: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DO0bQ83UMAAUabp.jpg:large

It’s not only a joke, it’s also that once you see it, you understand that the aesthetics of a notch aren’t based in sleek features, but in function-over-form.
The posts were about blocking ads en mass. Not about blocking Google specifically. It would be incredibly rare for some one to get ublock or something similar and only block multi billion dollar companies.
Thanks to Apple in this case for taking a holistic approach to making a better computer.
Because:

a) speaking "black shoes" into your phone is a better experience than scrolling down an arbitrarily long list of categories.

b) Is shoes a category? Is it clothing? Is it boots? Oh I need an ontology now? Will users find it intuitive to have to drill down on it???

c) Wait, the item comes in with an automatic description from a thousand different vendors. How do I decide what part of it maps to my "color" field? What if the color isn't in a separate field? How do I make sure that this item isn't dead in my inventory? How do I make sure that this popular item is retrievable for me too and not just my competitors that have a better search???
In this case just searching for "black" anywhere in the fields of the product, weighted for significance, gets me valid results without communicating to the user that they filtered on a color.
I don't really see how Java is closer to C than it is to Python in terms of what level of abstraction it's working on, could you elaborate?
the notch is a major design compromise and apple is not trying hard enough. i can not imagine paying six thousand dollars for a new laptop and literally staring into an unforced error every day. (See, Dell XPS bezel-less displays like this: https://twitter.com/SpencerDailey/status/1450170126360358914)

I hide my menu bar for maximum space, and you can't do that here without eating into your main apps' vertical space. the notch also reminds people of iphone features, which makes a touch screen an even more obvious omission, as well as Face ID. (FaceID is trending on twitter b/c people assume this laptop ships with it: https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/1450162489795170307 )
Do they recycle or send to a landfill? Does recycling mean sending it to a 3rd world country where it's smelted down in backyard shops giving everyone in the area cancer? Of the 3 R's recycle comes last. If we could upgrade and repair our devices it would go a long way to cutting down on ewaste.
Which one? Looking for a solid recommendation.
Where do people go if they can’t get a payday loan and need those funds to make ends meet [1]? You have to understand why a fence exists before deciding how and why to tear it down. Payday loans are a symptom, not a root cause and not necessarily evil considering the risk they take on by issuing loans to exceptionally marginal borrowers.

That's if I do own my own Mac, but this is in situations like if I'm stuck in the marketing division and needed to view a file immediately.
Then buy a Dell XPS laptop? Why do macbooks need to be perfect for everyone?
The M1 is a system-on-a-chip so AIUI there's a bunch of stuff on there that you wouldn't want two of.
There was a link in the slides for the models but I missed it.
Since these are rated for IPX4, does that mean you can clean them by washing with something that will dissolve ear wax? Could you clean them in your dishwasher?

I have some of the original AirPods and I've never felt like I can get them thoroughly clean.
Yup and that may change. For example, if he decided he wanted to write an autobiography sometime down the road, this may become something to fix!
Hopefully they bring back a 12" model.
M1 aside, it's pretty clear that Jony Ive was holding back Apple's designs here. While he worked at Apple it was thinness at all costs, right after he leaves the MBP suddenly gets a tiny bit thicker in order to return a huge chunk of the features that were previously removed. Probably the only thing on this new laptop that can't be pinned on his departure is the M1 series of chips.
Our white plastic has the highest albedo ever!
720p webcam though, just like the old macbooks. Don't really know how thick the screen is though on either
SD cards are not a reliable medium term storage mechanism. They wear out much faster then SSD drives.
From the screenshots and images, it won't impact users like us. When in fullscreen with a hidden menubar, the area left and right of the notch goes black. It's exactly like the current situation in that case, and the only benefit is that when you choose to view the menubar it doesn't eat into the space occupied by the program-in-use.
put a timestamp in the message. use a conflict free replicated data type
Can you please stop posting flamebait and unsubstantive comments to HN? You've done it repeatedly, unforuntately, and we're trying for a different sort of site here.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site to heart, we'd be grateful.
We use https://www.cadcode.com/ for our production of furniture.

It's a little different but essentially it takes data to define geometry and machine operations. We generate that data in code and pass it on to cadcode. Cadcode then passes that on to our NC machines.
I personally think if it was just a vocal minority, Apple would not have relented. They play the long game, so they probably saw a decrease in their user base somewhere, or at least a trend there.
A fair warning to developers: You're getting into an adventure with M1.

From docker images not built for M1 with segmentation faults on qemu (eg. Liquibase for spring developers), to _significant_ troubles trying to make React native apps build with the M1 and XCode.

Don't get me wrong, I have a Macbook air M1 and I love it, but it hasn't been a love without pain.

Also, the magsafe feels like it comes too late. Almost like a political feature in response to the EU measure of enforcing a single charging cable.
Fast charging possibly?

> Well, no - they immediately followed the discrete laptop graphic comparison with a desktop graphic comparison

pretty sure the comparison was with "the most powerful PC laptop we could find", which makes sense because they then talked about how much it was throttled when running only on battery while the new M1 is not.
What is it about the M1 architecture that makes it so speedy compared to x86 chips? Is it the Risc instruction set? The newer node process? Something else?
You should have a look to Bref (https://bref.sh/)
Both of those languages' communities have essentially admitted that not having type checking was a mistake and try to patch it with TypeScript and MyPy.
I don't think picking some C++ dialect is wise. These features are there for a reason. Funnily enough a lot of comments that respond to this are all of the style 'yes, but nowadays google allows this, o and this too, and that as well....' Sure, there are things one should not do, like having raw pointers all over the place and so on. Such things should be caught in code review.

Actually, I totally hate the google style guide. The prescriptions about indentation there seem to be optimized to make the code as unreadable as possible. An indentation of only two is already too little and adding that the opening brace is at the end of the line it becomes very difficult to see what block ends where.
The surprising part (maybe it is not very surprising) is that economic elites advocate for policies that are bad for economic growth in the long run. It's surprising because the policies that will result in economic growth are quite obvious. It's unsurprising because those who are in power don't want to give it up for the greater good.
Is there something new that prompted this posting?
Controversial opinion, but I think adding Magsafe back (along with the other ports) was a step backward for the industry.

Apple pushed the whole industry to standardize on one connector for everything. If anyone really needed those other ports, a small $30 portable hub would add them all back.

Magsafe 3 is just another connector that will add more e-waste and proprietary cables to the mix. It's nice that they kept the USB-C charging, but now non-2021+ Macbook users can't reuse the charging cables.
Ahh, Apple, always looking out for the 1% of users!
I would argue it depends on the person. I'd love to be able to test this independently myself, but I don't have enough cash to spare to do so.

If you're aware of folks testing this, it'd be great to share that. The fact remains that 4k displays have been available for non-AMD laptops for a very long time (at least a few years) so they keep making them and people keep buying them, so I'd like that arrangement to be offered at least for AMD laptops as well, because it's definitely something lots of people, as this thread clearly demonstrates.
> Now put on your headphones and you still have that surround sound system.

If your ears match the modeled ears within a certain degree of "normal". Otherwise, you get a confusing sounding mess.

It's unfortunate, but it's (yet) another 80/20 problem.
Yay -- maintaining type definitions for arbitrarily complex nested dicts/arrays that are often built up when processing data and in all manner of different ways.

You know why "Any" appears in Typescript so much?

I doubt anyone here is an actual programmer, if you were you would understand that having to define type definitions for "objects" that are often just parsed from JSON API responses or constructed through the processing of data is the biggest pain in all languages, and why typeless languages are convenient and popular for this kind of work.

Oh and then the API response changes slighty, breaking your type definition, whereas typeless Python keep chugging along because it is very tolerant of small changes to underlying data, especially if written in a defensive manner.

If you want types, why are you using Python at all? Go write bloated Java/.NET that takes a team of 10 six months to put together a simple app that would be written in week in Python.
Wow, I've seen these and didn't realize they were bollards. This is great!
