My issue with the spec the W3C settled on is that it contains nuances that mean it must be implemented in the browser. It is not possible to write a serverside preprocessor that implements the spec.

Unlike other technologies like canvas or AJAX where we've been able to create polyfills for older browsers, authors will now have to make an explicit decision between either using CSS variables or supporting all browsers.
Heh. I deliberately block all disqus resources with Adblock because they are frequently the slowest to load.

We appreciate comments like the above much more. It promotes better discussion.

Regarding the content of what you said, we still disagree. I know many people who use MacBooks, most of which are CS researchers and one astrophysicist. Of that set, I know of one person who upgraded their machine at all (a CS professor who replaced his harddrive with an SSD). I view Apple's design decision of making the RAM non-upgradable in line with my use, and the use of almost everyone I know. We certainly try to do work that has value, and we do not see our work computers as fashion accessories or trinkets.
So you think that if you write everything from scratch it won't have any flaws? Of course it will have flaws, you just won't know about it.
Hmm, are you getting this from the paper? It's not obvious to me from the abstract. [0]

From the description given, the diode uses current to exchange ambient heat for emitted light. It cools the device, and heats whatever the light falls on, essentially acting as a remote heat pump. We can convert waste heat into a somewhat larger amount of "waste light", effectively increasing black-body radiation, which is great if light is more useful to us than heat.

Of course you don't get a free ride, and you can't make something cool without making something else hot (eventually), but conventional air conditioning is bound by the same limitation and is still plenty good enough for our purposes.

In principle, what prevents me from covering my roof with these things, radiating my waste heat (less atmospheric absorption) into deep space, and thus cooling my house?

Again, this supposing that the device could be scaled up to produce usable amounts of visible light while retaining the local cooling effect at room temperature, none of which have yet been demonstrated. Apparently their technique is to run the diode at as low of a voltage as possible, which presents some obvious problems.

Actually the abstract states it acts as a "thermodynamic heat engine", which would support what you're saying-- but given that it requires an input of electrical energy, I don't see how that could be right. They also liken it to "thermoelectric coolers". Possibly that was just mistyping or sloppy terminology, or possibly I'm missing something.

They only do that in the EU and US.

Usually from what I understand in Europe at least, they pack them, mail them to an EU border country such as Turkey to comply with EU regs and certification and they're shipped on to the far east by the lowest bidder. They then appear in land fills and are picked apart by children for the copper...

I am heavily invested in Apple for the record. I use everything from Mac Pro, iMac (all versions), all of their MBPs (no airs), iPhones, iPads etc. I have invested over $30k in their hardware, so that gives me some right to criticize their direction.

All of the computers have been updated post purchase. I've put more RAM into iMacs, more RAM and SSDs into MBPs, and Mac Pros got more RAM, video cards, SSDs, HDDs etc.

In fact, one of the very first things I do is buy more RAM for my MBPs because it is more economical to do it yourself. Then if you wait 2 years, you can again double your RAM for extremely low price.

If Apple were making only this harder because of physical design constraints, you would have a point. But they are also artificially constraining the OS to make it more appliance like, and less and less UNIX like. But that's OK. Most of the users wouldn't know UNIX from eunuchs anyway.

Is this rant all just some cognitive dissonance because you can't afford one? You're not thinking this through, the machine may not make sense for you because it sounds like you enjoy tinkering with the innards of a laptop, but you cannot speak for others, or try to evangelize your opinion and persuade other not to buy one. It just makes you look bitter about something. Please try to be accept that this machine is not something you need. Your attitude towards Mac owners is very clear by your offensive language, which negates any actual points that you might have.

I am sure apple has thought of how to recycle these machines because they take that stuff seriously. They don't expect you to recycle it, technology is complex stuff and the whole life cycle needs people with expert knowledge and that includes the reuse and recycling stage.

The number one reason for the government to create a comprehensive register of something is enable later legislation to ban it. We've seen this several times in Canada with firearms - first a law requiring registration of a certain class of firearms, and then once the government knows where they all are, a new piece of legislation requiring them to be surrendered.

The more information the government has, the more it enables future oppressive action.

I didn't level a slur at you, and as I said, I don't think that you're an idiot. Just wealthy.

Before, you had the ability to go to the Apple store or website and have them "take care of" your memory woes at point of purchase. They charge like $500 for an $100 memory stick.

Most people call paying 5x more for a commodity product "a ripoff".

If the lily pad patch was a mere 1 square inch, on the 48th doubling, the pond would have to be (check my math)about 70k square miles - or 10 times the size of Lake Erie. Those lilies would be consuming a serious amount of co2 during that last doubling!
Humans are meant to eat meat, not just veggies.
You're mostly right here, but making things specialized to the extent that Apple is doing here often makes things more expensive. If you go the specialized route instead of using commodity hardware there's going to be a big upfront price. Its possible that reduced packaging could make up for that in some cases, but I'm skeptical. There are also some changes that Apple makes simply to prevent user serviceability, like special Apple only screws, that don't help with weight and only serve to increase the price.

Mathematician and software developer here (and the guy you are responding to) and ALL my personal computers are Macs too. I criticize Apple's direction because I sincerely do not think it is good for the future of general purpose computing. The software you write for your scientific computing might become "illegal" if Apple gets it their way, and you will first have to pay Apple a cut before you can run it, or it may become plain impossible to program your computer at all. How often do you run custom code on your other appliances? Exactly. If computers become locked down appliances you won't be able to or expected to run custom code on them either.

How many people expect to compile and run stuff on their iPad? None, but it's a perfectly capable machine, more powerful than PCs of the 90s.

I 100% agree that having symbol manipulation is required for deeper understanding and learning.

In my experience, being able to quickly and (fairly) reliably move symbols around in one's head makes futher learning much easier and faster, as one can follow proofs and explanations intuitively without feeling the need to work through each step laboriously to justify it.

As a simple example, being able to see the steps that were used to go between

(x - 1)^2 - 2 = 0
x = 1 +- sqrt(2)

at a glance gives one a higher "maths-learning" bandwidth, since one spends just the 3 seconds it takes to read those lines, instead of the extra 30 seconds physically doing the working.

(And, on a slightly different note, having some basic facts memorised like (for example) "d/dx sin(x) = cos(x)" is a little like the difference between data in L1 cache and that just in RAM. However, this doesn't mean that one should not understand why, or not be able to rederive it in a flash by drawing a diagram or whatever.)
For most people a $2000 laptop is a lot more than a few weeks of savings however... in fact I'd say that's true for most of the target market.

The asking people to educate themselves on this product runs directly counter to Apples marketing. Apple wants to (has) made computers an appliance and doesn't want the user to think about the insides. Asking the user to educate themselves on the internals of their Apple notebook is asking them to go back to PC style thinking, exactly what Apple has worked to kill. And now that that style of thinking is dead, they (seem to) purposely make the machine non-serviceable because no one asks anymore.
cscope is great. It would be even better if they supported more languages.
"I expected Go to kick Erlang's ass in the performance department but the message latency was much higher than Erlang's latency and we had 225 unhappy customers."

Go is neat and I hope to see it succeed and thrive, but it is simply unavoidable that Erlang has existed for much longer, has been getting tuned for much longer, and this sort of thing is its monomaniacal focus whereas Go is spread a bit more thinly at the moment. Go is trying to be a systems language, Erlang very much isn't.

This is an excellent point, but there is yet another subtler and more benign point of view.

Private information is valuable social currency which we use to measure and define the distance between ourselves and others. There are things that are only told to the significant other for instance. By knowing them she/he not only has more power on me but also rightly feels closer to me than anyone else.

When someone finds out such information about me - harmless or not - without my consent he/she positions him/herself too close to me and I feel justly violated. The same way someone may try to diminsh the distance by disclosing facts that are not told to a stranger, expecting me to reciprocate. But at least then I have the option to decline.

I think this is the core issue: wanting privacy is basically wanting to retain control of how close I let other people come, and controlling the amount of facts they know about me is the tool to define that distance. Stealing this valuable social currency does not differ that much from stealing any other type of currency.

This speaks exactly to the general point I wanted to make: why should I put so much trust in the government? I'm not anti-gov by any means, but government is a large group of people, and among any large group, there are going to be some untrustworthy people, some liars, some stupid people, some irresponsible people, some committing crimes, some covering up crimes (which is just another crime)... And certainly, in government, there are going to be some people who have agendas, and some people who have only their interest or their small group's interests in mind.

So turning over everything to this large group, with all its power is... risky to say the least.

Now that is a great use of tasker.

For those of us without NFC enabled devices, I bet you could set up a QR code that when scanned, does the same thing (no $3 dollar tag necessary).

I think that NFC is going to blow up very soon, but I think that to make it truly useful it needs to work with your phone locked. I want a sticker on my desk so that when I sit down in the morning it starts tracking my time for the day. That is a vastly different experience than sitting down at my desk, pulling out my phone, unlocking it, remembering what I was doing, and tapping my hidden sticker.
"That is not a viable option to tar them with accusations of not taking."

Right, but this does suggest a good way for them to give a good faith effort. What if they put the effort into contacting all X content providers/publishers who 'earned' $Y or more? Even if it were somewhat costly, my appreciation would kick in if I knew they spent time to contact everyone who had earned $20 or more.

Even if the rest of the money went to charity, I'd still have a higher opinion of the way they've ended this operation.

Update: Their terms of services (7b, "Payments") states they won't pay out for amounts under $50. Sounds high given the expectable long tail, but they could put in work to contact those publishers.
> If you could convert thermal noise into light and beam it away, you could use that as the cool side for a heat engine and have a perpetual motion machine.

By "beam it away", I assume you mean into space or somewhere else you don't care about heat being. In this case, the cold side of the device isn't the real cold sink, it's just a proxy for the several million cubic lightyears of background-temperature near vacuum which will eventually wind up absorbing the light. Aliens on a distant planet may be able to extract power from the light; bully for them, but I already had to pay extra for shipping, so there's no funny business going on.

What makes you think that violates thermodynamics?

(For what it's worth, "perpetual motion machines" are not outlawed by classical thermodynamics, only those which do additional work. There's nothing in theory which prevents you hooking up a 100% efficient emitter and a 100% efficient receptor up with superconducting wire and letting it run forever, so long as you don't extract any energy from the cycle, for example by observing that it is taking place. There may be something in quantum physics which states that such a system would have to leak information about itself somehow, but I don't know enough to say.)
> I think (contrary to Bret) that symbol manipulation is a prerequisite for deeper STEM ideas.

Can you elaborate on this further? I tend to disagree, but I don't know if I have all that much to say to back it up.

I mean, sure, there's just no good way to understand shear forces without being able to manipulate matrices (so I agree with dbaupp's sibling comment), but that doesn't mean you want to learn the rules of matrix algebra as if they were arbitrary rules enforced by the stick and carrots in a game.

Let me approach your points in a more concise and slightly less troll-like manor:

I can afford one but I choose not to spend the money on it simply because the value proposition is pure insanity.

I am not bitter at all. I find that the rapid decline into consumerism that Apple promotes is disturbing, especially when they are trend-setters. I need to stand up for what is right now so in 5 years time, all vendors aren't producing such hardware.

Apple don't think about how to recycle these machines at all - they don't care at all and never will do unless it's good marketing (which is is since Greenpeace kicked off at them that is). They send you a label to stick to it - that is all. That will send it to a 3rd party who have paid Apple a lot of money to be the "preferred recycler".

Life's never too short to promote an opinion. After all that's all we are.
