With the amount of custom chips they needed for the display, it wouldn't surprise me if there are issues getting it to work as an external display that they haven't solved yet.
Interestingly done - the huge image is broken up into 15 separate canvas elements and then the containing DIV is scaled with CSS transforms as you scroll. Not immensely clever, but a solution which performs pretty well in Chrome on my Mac, at least.
>I'm sure the "shock value" in this headline is the assumption that most people have in their heads: criminals in jail = bad people.

Not for me. For me, criminals in jail = on average worse than average unjailed people.
"I guess the general US public can't really grasp small fractional sizes or thousands?"

The fractional sizes would get weirded and weirder as they get smaller.

1mm is ~1/32 (5/128ths is a really close approximation, but let's assume nobody is that crazy).

Right now it's ~1/4 of an inch
Let's say they reduce the size 1mm.

Now which sounds better: 5.1mm, or 7/32 of an inch (or 13/64ths, which is more accurate)
They have to update their notebooks with Thunderbolt 3 before they can release 5K Thunderbolt Display. Thunderbolt 2 doesn't have enough bandwidth to push the pixels.
Don’t both MacBook Pro and Mac Pro have multiple Thunderbolt ports? Don’t those work as separate DisplayPorts? At least on the Mac Pro?
What's with ditching the 32GB options?
Some UX feedback after attempting to install it on Fedora:

1) Clicked Fedora on install docs

2) Installed lttng-tools and lttng-ust RPMs

3) Clicked Getting Started in docs. Ran "lttng list --kernel".

3a) Got an error saying I need to run the systemd service.

4) Started systemd service (didn't see this mentioned in the docs?)

5) Reran "lttng list --kernel".... error saying I'm missing a module

5a) Reread docs, realized I need to build LTTng-modules. Which led me to find out I need to also build liburcu

6) Installed liburcu but got an error building lttng-modules

So I gave up to attempt the install another time.
the server edition really was the same but had no cd drive in lieu of an optional second hdd, and it came pre-installed with OSX server (which most wiped anyways in favor of a linux or BSD flavor)
If you're officially "overweight", and not any category of obese (at least by BMI), you might be better off not trying to lose any more. There seems to be a growing consensus that the best all-causes mortality rate is actually for people in the overweight category [1]. Yes, correlation and causation and all relevant caveats apply. Personally, and IANAMD, I think as long as the weight is not causing noticeable quality of life drops, you're better off not stressing about it, and just trying to live life comfortably. Eat well and exercise, but if your body doesn't want to give up that extra reserve, don't force it.

[1] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23280227 --- n.b. I haven't actually read the article, but I'm assuming the abstract isn't lying when it says "overweight was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality".
The zoomable-versions use leaflet, so this might be worth a look: https://github.com/mapbox/leaflet-image
It's called a self assessment. Of all the drivers you've seen on the road, do you rate yourself above average compared to them? People are deluded all the time in their opinion of themselves. This result is really unsurprising to me.
I don't think that will work here - TB2 is derived from DP1.2, which only goes up to 4K@60hz. You'll have to wait for TB3 to drive an external 5K monitor from a Mac.
Not 60fps over a single cable / single bus without compression.

DisplayPort v1.2 can carry around 17.3Gbps (this is minus overhead), so you would need DP v1.3 with an effective rate of 26Gbps to support native at 5k without compression [1].

So besides Touch ID, what do you get for spending an extra $100 compared to the iPad Mini 2?

Literally the only difference appears to be Touch ID for $100. (And a gold color option)
None of that indicates an international court.

Attorneys in the US are licensed to practice per-state. Pro Hac Vice petitions are necessary whenever they seek to appear in a case outside the state(s) they are licensed in. In this case, two California attorneys were appearing in court in Nevada. There is nothing "international" about that.

Parties to a lawsuit, no matter where they are, have an obligation to respond under US law. If they never want to travel to or do business in the US or any other country whose courts will enforce US judgements (there are many that will), they are, of course, free to ignore the summons and/or orders (unless ICAAN says otherwise, in case of the registries).

Note also that the orders are signed by Gloria M. Navarro, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Nevada.

This is a US court. I have no idea why you think otherwise. There is nothing to indicate otherwise.
(TCP can be stream or datagram)

Not at all! There's no way to ask for delivery of a datagram of unknown size (which is pretty much the definition of a datagram-oriented protocol), as in UDP, RDP, SCTP, and other datagram-oriented protocols.

(No, not even the PSH bit guarantees this!)

This has implications when implementing application-layer protocols. In stream-oriented protocols like HTTP, which intersperse headers with payload, it is impossible to read the header from the OS's socket without also (possibly) reading part of the payload (unless you're reading a single octet at a time). Your application is thus forced to implement buffering on top of what the OS provides (if the OS does not itself provide a general pushback mechanism).

With an (ordered) datagram-oriented protocol, this is not a problem, as you can ask the OS to return a single datagram corresponding exactly to the header, and process it before retrieving any of the payload.

And to boot, Linux didn't do UDP reassembly at all until recently (last year?)

Wow, that surprises me. Good to know.
Keeping the A7 is disappointing; I'd expect at least the A8 offered in the iPhones. Looks like the iPad Mini is the new iPod Touch.
I honestly never thought of it this way (your last sentence). But yes, to your first point many of our students are CS grads who realized they wanted to work as developers but didn't know how to code... They might start with a stronger theoretical understanding, and perhaps can code more complex functionality or software than our non CS grad students, but ultimately they're on a similar level. Just depends on what the individual wants to be doing long term.
Officially yes.

First I need to fill out a huge document in which I state why I need this. Then I wait. The wait time right now is two years to see someone, likely three by the time I get there as it keeps getting longer. Then I have to travel for five hours to a specific facility - there's only one in Ontario - to prove to someone that I need this. Then they'll either have me come back (more wait) to prove again that I need this. Or they'll set-up the surgery - which would then be maybe 3-6 months away.

They're paying a private medical facility to perform the work; if I have the means I could just as well skip the three years and pay for it myself. Or spend a fraction of the cost and do it overseas.

Note that this isn't for all things in Ontario, but is true for gender affirmation surgeries.
Cholesterol means one thing: "blood cholesterol". The doubt is if something in your diet affects your cholesterol.

Another point, still not proved, is if high total cholesterol drives heart disease. As far as I know, there is evidence that it doesn't matter at all.

As said in other comments, tryglicerids and HDL matters a lot more, according to this evidence.

And I strongly disagree with you conclusion that low-fat, high-carb diets are a fallacy according to being "herat-healthy"

My impression is that your tool is based on misinformation.
Also no NFC chip. It would have been nice to have some nice point-of-sale capability for merchants who current use square or something similar.
I seriously do not understand how can it ship with a 500GB 5400rpm drive by default. This gives such poor experience to the user that Apple should have opted for all-ssd approach two generations ago. Very disappointed by that.
The cable companies can't retaliate against the likes of CBS and HBO, because they risk losing the content for their service. So they pick on Netflix instead...

BTO option is now a dual core i7 (3Ghz), vs previous model's BTO option of a quad core i7 (2.3Ghz).

I wonder what the performance difference is between the two.
Most 4k displays do that due to bandwidth restrictions of current display cables. There is unlikely to be any GPU benefit to treating it as two separate displays since you still have to push the same number of pixels.
They mentioned the barometer but only briefly.
Isn't ultra-basic cable (including CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox) around $10/month? Paying $6 for just one network with ads seems really steep.
Heads up: if you run AdBlock they prevent you from watching anything except the live stream.
Hmm, you got me. I had thought MSVC's C++ ABI was documented and intended to be used by other compilers, but sounds like I got that wrong. Still, as you say, it is the case that most other platforms do in fact have a C++ ABI (if belatedly).
No quad-core models?
I'm happy about --registry-mirror and -ip-masq=false.
I see what you are saying. I stand by the second part of my statement though. Presenting a percentage you can lower a percentage can (and just did) lead to some confusion.
Good choice for a home server
Except this is streaming broadcast shows, not cable (unless I missed something). This wouldn't really help cutting the cord... you could already get rid of cable and just use an antenna for CBS.
So correct me if I'm wrong, but they appear to have done the same thing with the Mac Mini to achieve the lower price point as they did with the iMac earlier this year, by introducing a 1.4Ghz i5 model? I don't recall the base Mac Mini being as weak before...
I joined the beta at "2" and it's been incredibly stable on both of my Macbook Air's. Excited for the final refined release.

This begs a few questions such as: is it due to laziness of today's generation, is it because costs have increased much more than wages have or is it due to a factor largely out of the hands of this generation such as economic or market factors that favor automation/outsourcing/leaner workforces?
Yeah, most companies treat people as replaceable cogs, when they should be treating employees as (for example) plants that need cultivation and care. Training should be considered part of the cultivation of the employee.
TDM is likely to break with this new machine. Thunderbolt 2 only has a theoretical max throughput of 20Gbps... Driving a 5K display @ 60Hz would require 98.88% of that throughput, which is unlikely to be sustained in IRL usage.

I'd be all over this if Apple can confirm that the monitor is usable by external machines.
Would it be possible that the criminals gave those answers hoping that this survey would actually be monitored, and its result be used for parole?
Also priority may be a function of the network configuration (QoS etc) not biased against UDP by default.
Your reply wasn't a technical one regarding the question, but I think you've been unfairly downvoted as there is actually truth in what you're saying. These are exactly the types of conversations that marketing teams at Apple would have about creating the perception around their brand.

Note: before a fervent product enthusiast thinks about hitting that downvote button, I've typed this comment from my very own MBP.

"Packet integrity" usually means something different than how you're using it: generally, it refers to whether the data in the packet arrives unchanged. By this definition, UDP has identical packet integrity as TCP (they use the same checksum, albeit optionally in the case of UDP), assuming the packet gets there at all.

What UDP doesn't guarantee is ordering and arrival of packets. Usually "channel reliability/integrity" or simply "reliability" is used to refer to this.
The Industrial Revolution: Past and Future (2003)
Nothing automatically provides the job. We're talking about a process hidden behind a click-happy headline.

A huge part of the comments in this feed have been discussing the challenge of teaching bootcamp students what the actual career is about, what getting jobs is about, that realistically learning to code is just one small part of being a developer.

Does the headline say all that? God now. Does the article say that? Nope, because its trying to draw in all interested parties. The problem is that some, perhaps many, maybe even almost all bootcamps on that list? They might not clarify it until to late.

Some of us are trying to figure it out. Both how to communicate it, but maybe even the actual solution!

In the mean time, if you can code start pitching on elance, man! There is always work even for those of us who are, quiet frankly, sub-par developers> our CMO can code, he sucks at it.

Ken made the point that Google and Apple behave the same way as Microsoft in the markets where they have monopoly-like dominance, and I agreed with him. In that instance, I am not talking about browsers. I am talking about the markets in which Google and Apple have monopoly-like power, and the ways they abuse that power. Browsers are a small part of that picture (though, it is telling that all three build browsers, despite their being numerous good browser options on the web...the browser clearly holds a power position on devices, and OS vendors are guarding that position jealously).

Anyway, I think what the justice department went after Microsoft for was a minor part of the wrongs Microsoft committed. Bundling the browser, and effectively prohibiting computer vendors from bundling Netscape, was a nasty trick and it killed Netscape (just as Microsoft killed Lotus, WordPerfect, and numerous others, often through backroom deals to separate those companies from their customer acquisition channels). But, my concerns are less about what happened to Netscape than about what happens to consumers and the market, when consumer choice isn't what decides the outcome.

IE was a proprietary overlay on the web. It was not an HTML browser, it was a Microsoft delivery platform. Having a stranglehold on the browser locked every competing OS out of the web for a decade. I switched to Linux on my desktop in 1995. But, I had to keep a Windows installation around on every desktop I ever owned in order to be able to access bank and government web sites, so I could use IE to access it. That's why IE was destructive, and that's abuse of monopoly power.

And, that's why Microsoft created IE: To embrace and extend the web, to use their existing monopoly in several enterprise markets to subtly take over the new market of the web and destroy the openness that allowed competitors to thrive. And, it succeeded for a long time. For years, we were trapped in this horrible Microsoft-owned world, where the dominant browser was incompatible with every other browser and with the standards and in ways that were intimately tied to the Windows operating system.

So, the courts didn't tackle the most damaging issues, unfortunately, and it took several years for the web to recover from the damage Microsoft caused.
> But then do you have a different term for what I'm talking about?

In french I believe the upper class you are referring to would be called "aristocratie" or "noblesse", while the capitalist upper class would be called "bourgeoisie". I know there are similar words in English but I'm not sure if they carry the same meaning.

Dell's 24" UP2414Q is an IPS 4K monitor with 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB coverage, and it has a 185 PPI panel that I'd argue is already in the "retina" range. Although with its ~€555 price it's not exactly in the $300-$500 range, but it's a close call, so I wouldn't call all 4K monitors around this price range "shitty" at all.

Update: it works in 60Hz @ 4K.

Spec says you can use applePay with it too. So seems like only touch ID and applePay is the upgrade, as all other spec is the same. They should at least include the reflective coating to mirror the Air. With only these 2 upgrades, the mini-2 should be priced at $329 or $349 instead.
Mountain Lion was crashing on my Retina MacBook Pro about every day, since I upgraded to Yosemite it hasn't crashed once. Only a single data point, but it appears to be a really stable release now.

I still have the impression that the GPU is struggling with the retina display though, I was just using a 4 year old MacBook Air and the display animations were smoother on it than on my rMBP. I do have it scaled up to the max resolution though, I think that makes the performance worse as the scaling is more complex.
I think it's more that they can't ditch the 16G option for some reason.
The original evidence was about red meat consumption, but it was changed to dietary fat after an outcry from the beef lobby.

IE was better than Netscape by about version 4/4.5, and it was more standards-compliant by IE6. The Netscape code was awful and Microsoft had two IE teams working in parallel, with the second one working to "componentize" IE and leapfrog Netscape. Which it did.

Netscape always had a free version* available, so it wasn't really down to price. (*though it was usually the buggier beta version.) Otherwise, its plan was to make money on server side, and despite buying in several server companies, it failed.

While Netscape was technically inferior, it is true that Netscape's own marketing and managerial mistakes contributed to its downfall. For example, you could only download it from Netscape, you couldn't customize or rebadge it, and at one point it decided to withdraw it, so you could only get it as part of a Netscape suite.

All of this was suicidal when Microsoft was shipping a free IEDK and allowing computer mags and ISPs to distribute IE.

Finally, in the anti-trust lawsuit, Microsoft WON the browser case 2-1 on appeal. So bundling wasn't actually illegal, as alleged.

I watched all this closely at the time. It is also well documented in several books, including How The Web Was Won, Competing on Internet Time, and the great High St@kes, No Prisoners.
Prior 27" iMacs have had the ability to run as external displays in Target Display Mode.

This was very nice when the view connection was DVI, but the current ThunderBolt connections limit it to other systems with ThunderBolt and the appropriate drivers. This limits it to pretty much using the display with other Macs.

My quick review of the Apple's tech spec for the new iMac doesn't say if it has this feature.
> 1080p on a 27" monitor is not ridiculously low res for the average person.

OTOH, now I have to disagree with you a bit. I'm currently using 1080p on a 24" and while I'm ok with it so far (everyone else using the screen, ranging from ages 10 to 55 has no issue either), I would under no circumstances go lower than this. And it's not like my vision has improved since my 20's (in the 30s currently).

But, as the interested reader realizes at this point, it really boils down more to the defition of 'average person'.

> To me, the main beneficiaries of the new 5K iMac are designers and people who work with (or care a lot about) video and photography

Did you intend to leave out programmers? I'm asking because for instance, I prefer to do my readings on paper than on screen; simply because of the higher dpi/'ppi'. And after having worked a bit with a Retina display, I can't almost can't wait to do my work on one...
I have 8 GB of memory on my 2013 13" MBook Air - I run 23 separate applications simultaneously, including the full office Suite (Outlook/PowerPoint/Office/Excel), VMware Fusion w/Windows XP + OpenBSD running, Dynamips Routing Simulator w/10 Cisco 7200 routers, Google Earth, Aperture, Pixelmator, etc.... No swapping. Everything runs fine.

OS X (in my case, Mountain Lion, so an old version) - does really, really well with shared libraries. 95%+ of consumer users (not pros, whose needs are obviously more rarified, and for whom the sky is the limit) are probably fine with 8GB of memory, and it's not something I would recommend them increasing unless they plan to hold onto the computer for more than 5 years.
Yes, and that's already being used by the first batch of 4K monitors and is called MST. This models the monitor as 2 lower-resolution displays and drives them with two separate signals.

It has a lot of compatibility problems, and is hacky as hell. I doubt Apple would adopt this as an official/first-class solution to anything.
But you can get the 3 in GOLD! Gold, Jerry... Gold!
