Of course not. You don't even run recent graphics-intensive games at full resolution on the highest-end MBP with 1/3rd the pixels. We're still some ways from any consumer system taking full advantage of retina displays for high-end gaming.
Wow, that's quite the downgrade. What's the logic here? To save energy to keep it fanless? Or is this cost-cutting?
Most Samsung devices are 16GB with 8GB left over for installable apps. And don't tell me "IT HAS AN SD CARD SLOT!!" because you can't install apps on them (especially big ones like games)
Well it's their only real competing product at the low-end of the price spectrum, at $250 it's a lot more affordable than the $500 entry level of the air 2.

Let's not forget, a big part of sales is not gaining a sale. It's gaining a customer. The concept of customer lifetime value is important here. A lot of my friends on iOS look at my girlfriend's Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 and they say 'damn, those are great devices'. And then they buy iOS saying 'I'm used to it'. The ecosystem lock-in has always been very significant for Apple. And getting people into the ecosystem with an affordable device, and hoping they'll stay around and continue to buy a Macbook air, and a new iPad at some point, and start to use iCloud and iTunes etc, is a big driving factor, I'm sure.

Also a bit risky. The ipad mini's display is pretty shitty, otherwise it's a really nice device. It may reflect poorly on Apple, although it's also one of those things where a customer eventually says 'I'm really enjoying iOS, but this screen... Time to buy a new iPad'.

So it seems like a pretty reasonable decision imo.
Also minus the apps. I never found any apps close to Garageband, iMovie, iWork etc. on Android when I had an Android tablet.
For what do you need more then 32G RAM ever on a desktop (excluding time travelling forwards). If you are asking yourself that question you need to get a proper server or rendering farm.
You can buy a good 24" display for a lot less than a similar 27" display. That's a whole different discussion.
Ask HN: Where do I find remote jobs for C++ in particular?
As the title says. Also I have zero work experience with C++ so any companies that are happy to look at a Github profile only would be great, or preferably just a strong interview. All these sites such as nomadjobs.io are almost completely aimed at web/app development.
The results of the study shouldn't be surprising. The traits which we breed for in our domesticated pets--big eyes, round forehead, pudgy cheeks--these are traits that make them look "cute," but many of them (sans things like fluffiness) ultimately make them resemble babies. That's why we find them cute. To boot, we breed them to be tinier, more docile, and more affectionate towards us.

By the way, I do 100% love Apple products - all my electronics are Apple except my work computer. But there is a definitely a good reason behind why they don't let non-Apple users watch the keynote.
The 5 Characteristics of Extraordinary Salespeople
As a counterpoint, I have yet to run out of space on my 8GB total (less usable) Nexus 4, and I don't feel constrained by it. I'll take a cheaper model over more storage any day!
I would imagine being energy efficient and cheap is their main goal. This is the kind of computer people will leave on, plugged into their TV.
What happened to the "release every first week of a month"?
> What kind of a company invites journalists from a newspaper known for its investigative/muckraking skills

I can only guess, but I'd be willing to bet it's because of a mistaken idea that "we're on the same side", therefore any reporting by Guarding would almost certainly end up positive.

> and then hands over their secret sauce along with such gems:

... but yeah, I've got nothing, other than what were they thinking? I mean, I like the idea of keeping tabs on bad people, but then I'm not the one running a website that claims I won't track people.
Cool tool, I like the simplicity. Just a bug, if I scroll back up and update the numbers/recalculate, the text changes but the graph does not.
Why no OpenCL?
> A popular example is the finding that most drivers think they are a better-than-average driver.

The explanation in the article (that most people really are good drivers and that the average is drawn "low" because of very bad drivers) is flat-out wrong.

The correct explanation is described in detail in Daniel Kahneman' Thinking, Fast and Slow. It's impossible to assess our own position on the grand scale of driving ability; when the brain gets asked a difficult question, it quietly changes the question to a similar one, much easier to answer.

So when people are asked "are you a better-than-average driver", since they have no idea what the average is (or what the average means) they answer instead the question "am I an okay driver" and answer "yes".

This is probably what happens with prisoners too (or, they're actually kinder than the average people they know, and that's why they got caught).
I should add that the file was created by www-data:www-data, which for us stands out like a sore thumb as something created by a web page and NOT a user - our build process usually leaves it with a different user as the owner.
Well, because I need high-ppi displays:) That's the main reason I changed my 2011 iMac to the 2013 Mac Pro. Now it's weird: either a single 5k-screen with the new iMac, or two worse 4k-screens on Mac Pro.
Zapier + Call Loop = 270+ web apps to connect for simple Voice and SMS
>It's difficult to notice any pixelation on a 27" screen at a resolution of 2560x1440, so clearly the reason to upgrade to 5120x2880 is for the extra screen workspace.

On the new 5K iMac you won't perceive a bigger workspace^ than you had on the previous (2560x1440) model, because all UI elements will be scaled up at the factor of two, practically making everything look twice as sharp.

^: Actually, just like with the retina MacBooks, you'll have the option to use alternative resolutions up to 5K with and without scaling, effectively creating a larger virtual workspace.
There doesn't have to be a problem with that explanation if you consider the possibility that what this study observed was not necessarily always the case.

Perhaps generation 1 of criminals committed crimes out of perceived necessity, but did not believe themselves to be acting morally. They failed to stress this to their children however, perhaps due to some sense of pride, and the second generation is then raised to believe that crime is normal. This second generation, unlike the first, could have an inaccurate sense of what "normal" morality is.
Wiped out overnight? Pretty minimal. Third-party analytics have been around and (reasonably) tolerated by Apple since 2008.

A feature that allows them to change the application without Apple's explicit approval? That I really can't see lasting. But Apple cracking down on that feature isn't a 'wipe out the company' event.
I'd agree with you more if the "robbery" part wasn't in the quote. Too many factors are involved with the event of robbery; I can still envision a bunch of one-off people who had a lapse in judgement and/or fell on hardtimes not needing jail-time. Violence is something I'm much more incline to condemn someone for when it wasn't clearly self-defense with no pre-emptive way to avoid the situation.

>>That tends to support the claim that these are "bad people" in the ordinary sense of the term.

I feel like I'm getting needlessly pedantic now. The ordinary sense of the term, imho, is actually wrong and comes from the media(and religion?) vilifying a bunch of things to skew the public's calibration of good & evil. I have a feeling I'm about to fall into a deep rabbit hole of disagreements so I'll just concede that you're right given the mainstream's perception of good & evil.
Funny how in their keynote they went on and on about how having a high resolution display is great... a month after they released the sub 1080p iPhone 6.
This includes critical security updates for boot2docker to resolve a RCE vulnerability. Docker itself containers a lower priority security update. Users, especially those of boot2docker, are highly encouraged to upgrade.

That price is cheaper than I expected, since Dell announced that they would charge $2500 for their 5K display. It is about time that 'retina' comes to the desktop, hopefully this will put more pressure on Microsoft and third party devs to actually make high DPI displays work with Windows. As it stands now, Apple has a monopoly on a usable high DPI environment (Assuming the usual quick adaption to this display of the OSX dev community). That may be enough for me to change over to OSX as daily driver, just think about how nice coding on this thing could be.
Upgrading works surprisingly good. I never ran into any issues if I recall correctly. For me however, this one is going to be a clean install. I do them every 2-3 releases.
People are also remarkably adept at rationalizing their actions to fit their self perception.

TL;DR; - A hardened criminal and cop killer felt that he was constantly being persecuted by the police and was only defending himself.
>> "Sounds silly but it feels so un-Apple to have that many different variations of one product line."

That's a good thing. They're delivering the best hardware and software, why not leave old versions around to make it more affordable for people who can't buy a new device every year? Remember Jobs talked about wanting to change how kids read books and got educated etc. well if you only have the latest models at the highest prices only kids with parents will have access. I like it and I don't think it's too confusing. The power in each is good so the differentiation is mostly price and screen res which is easy enough for people to grasp.
You get more saturation on glossy displays. Matte surfaces work by diffusing the light that is incident on the screen but that diffuser also attenuates the light coming out of the display. Less light, less contrast, and less saturation.

An artist friend of mine has what is essentially a white cotton muslin curtain that goes around their work area which keeps reflections down to near zero (without being in the dark) and only uses glossy displays. It would drive me nuts but I see the attraction.
That seems to only work some of the time. It doesn't work for me in Chrome, at least in the beta.
I would counter with an HTTP joke but I am feeling slightly insecure.
It makes plenty of sense. You see random weird things like marfan syndrome linked to higher IQ. Among the high IQ ashekanazim there are a bunch of weird neurological diseases. Genes virtually never do one thing. Select for one trait and you're also going to get a bunch of other unexpected stuff, much of it probably unrelated to cognition.

Masonry works great! I've used it in every project since discovering it. I highly doubt I'd be using Autolayout without it or something similar.
I've been waiting for about a year for this refresh and fully expected to buy one today, but after looking at the combination of price, default HDD, processors, and very weak integrated graphics, I just can't justify buying this. Compared to the relationship between the 2012 Mini and the 2012 computing ecosystem, the 2014 Mini is really not that impressive.
Different strokes for different folks, but I find it funny that you think your preference is the one the market is ignoring lately. Every display Apple makes is glossy only, as is nearly every TV these days. I really wish I could get a matte rMBP and a matte 60" HDTV, but they just don't make them anymore...
...Yesterday it was Google.

Both companies just announced a bunch of stuff and you're surprised to see it here?
The full-screen animation has been around since 10.7 or so and it is absolutely frustrating due to how jerky it looks. Compare this with say, Exposé or switching Spaces. Both are pleasant, smooth animations.

I've come to have a subconscious association of "full screen button" == "slow painful animation" and essentially avoid this feature just as I avoid touching fire.
Not sure how updates work on Android but even with delta updates iOS 8 required 5GB of free space. If you have an 8GB iPhone (with the OS already taking about 1GB) you are never getting that thing on there.
16GB is fine for, say, schools and enterprise (it's effectively ~11GB usable if it's like my gen 4). It's hopeless if you want to use it to handle photographs, movies, or lots of games. The next step up (64GB) isn't even an option for the Google 9 (say).

Repeating a comment I made 3 days ago: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8449909)

Note that Tor is still being actively funded by US law enforcement
(http://pando.com/2014/07/16/tor-spooks/) and that Tor's security
has been repeatedly broken by US law enforcement in order to take
down sites illegal under US law. (http://www.wired.com/2014/09/fbi-
silk-road-hacking-question/)

It is debatable if Tor provides any more security than just using
someone else's open wifi point. Great for evading bans on online
forums, worthless against the DEA.
Yeah, no mention of it anywhere - not even indirect. It really is a problem for majority of the people trying to get things done with it.

I got a Note 2014 edition with 3GB RAM and though there were initial software hiccups I have stuck with it - rarely do my Chrome tabs reload, background audio die or my RDP session end randomly. Alt+Tab and everything is instantly there. With the latest updates it has become quite smooth - I would say better than the iPad with simple tweaks. Plus I have a uSD slot to throw my music on.

If you are looking for even a semi replacement laptop - you could do much better with Android tablets - Note or Nexus 9 if you prefer stock and don't need the stylus.
Impressive, but not sure we are seeing the results. I am not a kid any more. Titles and position no longer impress me. Actions and results do.

Here are the facts:

We have a bunch of agencies who purport to be looking after various aspects of these kinds of problems. Some from the research perspective and others in execution.

We have an impressive array of people involved with and running these organizations.

All of them have budgets in the billions.

Yet we did not have the systems, personnel, technology and response capabilities to keep ONE patient from infecting two nurses who cared for him.

One patient.

Would they have been ready for twenty?

The gentleman running the NIH told Congress during the hearing that the NIH facilities have TWO, count them, TWO beds suitable for the isolation and treatment of highly infectious patients.

I stopped watching the testimony once the politicians started talking. They are disgusting, on both sides.

We are lucky in that we do not have a really serious problem in our hands right now. There is no reason to panic. This is currently limited to just two people and a few in observation who are not sick. I hope I am not wrong when I say that this is, at this point, contained.

My problem is with what is seems to have revealed: That we are truly not ready. And that the agencies that are supposed to be ready to go on this at the drop of the dime have to figure things out during an event rather than being ready to go before it happens.

That should be disturbing to all. If twenty or fifty cities had cases it sure looks like we'd be in serious trouble. Again, I hope I am wrong. I am not impressed by intelligent sounding speeches in Congress. Everyone has political angles to protect of push forward, including some of the Doctors running these organizations. In that sense the entire thing is disgusting.

What's important is to watch what they are actually doing and what results they are producing. A virus is a heartless and has no political alignment. It really does not care if you believe in big government or total anarchy. It just is. It does what it does while you burn time playing games. The only time it stops is when you destroy it. In that sense, it is a really brutal performance review.
Same for French users.
Most likely, your 2013 Mac Pro won't be able to do that because a single cable / single bus DisplayPort v1.2 cannot provide the bandwidth for 5k (DP v1.2 provides about 17.3Gbps which is insufficient).

Unless Apple provide a multi-cable solution for the 2013 Mac Pro when the 5k Thunderbolt display comes out, you won't be able to take advantage of 5k displays on it.

My prediction is that we'll see an updated Mac Pro that also uses the Haswell Xeons (2013 Mac Pro uses last gen Ivy Bridge) and also DP v1.3 (which can support 5k displays).
This article does a good job of pointing to the "barriers to entry" that disproportionately impact women and people of color (who, for example, the "needle in the haystack" tech community - even those of color - may be more adverse to taking a risk on if no one else does).

Although I am of the camp that has developed the tech skills to build MVP (near release), I think the least groups that are seriously committed to closing the gap can do, is get behind women and people of color despite some of these barriers, and in doing so, support them in demonstrating traction, proof of concept, etc. so as to be more successful in securing other resources.

This doesn't have to be in the form of a million dollar investment. It could be an EIR program, and micro-grant / accelerator program, or something of that nature.

Although women and people of color will overcome the seemingly insurmountable, as throughout history, the game often changes as soon as they begin to do so, and expecting them to overcome these hurdles in order to get on the field is, in some fashion, passing the buck.
Even if I had the time, not sure I have the skill. I suppose the idea would be I could build the skill with enough time.

Regardless, is very fun to consider ideas on this. Thank you for the thread!
I filled out the entire job posting and it won't let me submit. Anyone else having this issue? says I need to fill out everything above but everything is filled out.
I had the same problem with my gen 4, until I plugged it into my Mac and it did the upgrade with no problems at all. It's not exactly a crippling issue (versus, for example, my three times and now permanently bricked Nexus 7, which needed to be reimaged using command line dev tools after borking itself with auto-updates).
You can pre-initialize any member you want to something other than 0, such as -1. The C standard permits multiple initializations of the same member, and defines the value to be that of the last initialization. So if the application sets the member again, it all works properly.

Both GCC and clang complain about such initializer "overriding", but I habitually disable those warnings whenever I start a new project. (I also contributed the patch to clang to be able to disable that warning =)

Initializer overrides and missing braces are the two dumbest diagnostics that, sadly, both GCC and clang spit out. Using '{ 0 }' is the _only_ way to initialize a compound automatic variable where you do not know (and shouldn't depend on) the internal layout, and it's perfectly legal C.

My problem is with the word "rather." It can be any degree of either in combination.
Did I miss something, or does maxing out the CPU and the RAM on the mid-level model get you the same specs as a maxed-out high-end model for $200 cheaper?
Maybe a lot of people are using these as media machines? That requires a lot of space, and not much speed.
Very impressed too, pretty stunning design. Really memorable.
But they would have been saying that for around the last 12 months now. An update was long overdue. Guessing upgrade cycles of Apple's less cared for products (i.e. not iPhone/iPad) is getting difficult.
Some minor hassles, most will work when updating packages. You'd probably have to reinstall macports though, if you're using that (don't know about brew).

I can recommend a clean install though. I just did that myself on the beta, and nothing is nicer than knowing that everything works so far (of tools installed).

If you're up for it, I can recommend http://lapwinglabs.com/blog/hacker-guide-to-setting-up-your-....
Are you sure about that? I have a 4K monitor and initially tested it with 3D games at full resolution and they played fine at 30Hz. I switched to an nVidia card and was able to play at 60Hz just fine.

Going to 5K only about doubles the number of pixels, so it sounds like a solvable engineering problem.

Panels are ready and GPUs are ready; the link layer is why you can't go to Best Buy and buy a 5k monitor. DisplayPort and HDMI both suck.
It doesn't have to be either/or.
I somewhat doubt it. Let's use something you're likely to be familiar with, smartphone apps... Now it's arguable that the skills required to develop a smartphone app implies a reasonable level of intelligence, yet look at any app store and you'll see huge numbers of uninspired, lowest common denominator shovelware. Does the world really need hundreds of todo apps? Do you really think people are driven to make those apps for anything greater than the "prestige" of being an app developer or a desperate attempt at making money?

Compare and contrast with a society that values the outcome of the work rather than how book smart you need to be able to do it. For example nature conservation is pretty easy to understand how to do right, and there's a tangible lasting benefit.

Guess it depends on what you view as a society worth having.
That may be true, but the meat of the contention is that Whisper are tracking their users' locations, even when those users asked Whisper not to. The accuracy of the tracking is a bit of a red herring: Whisper is tracking their users' location, without those users' consent.
Well, that's supposing that the big cable companies are rational. They tend to act counter to that in a lot of situations though...
I have an interest in helping out. I've created opentype.js, an OpenType parser and generator (https://github.com/nodebox/opentype.js).

I understand your concern for keeping the format declarative, but I'm not entirely sure you can handle TTF files that way, as you'll run into walls very quickly.

For example, to know the number of entries in the `loca` table, you have to parse the `numGlyphs` field from the `maxp` table. The `maxp` table doesn't have to come first...
