Thinkpad's T series fits some of your bill but I doubt the screen is high density enough.

PS - I must be the only person on earth who thinks the user experience with 1080p is better than super-high resolution. Currently most operating systems (Windows, Linux, and OS X to a degree) suck at high DPI so your fonts and UI elements shrink as the resolution increases.
I didn't realize the apps run on the phone. So this means that unless I have an iPhone, I couldn't even use an Apple Watch?

"corporate communication always indicates the opposite of what it explicitly claims"

Do you have evidence for this? If Apple announces that their new iWatch with features XYZ will go on sale, I expect the watch to go on sale and to have features XYZ. Similarly, if a business mentions quality, then since qualities are the "characteristics or features that someone or something has", I expect them to focus on adding features to their product and incorporating more jargon into their business processes.
I couldn't agree more. Unless it's a startup, or the company produces "throw away" solutions. You're usually dropping in on a product where either the previous team was fired or it was boot-strapped by one guy who knew was he was doing, supported by 5 junior devs fresh out of college.

> The way we do economics depends pretty heavily on there being enough jobs for everyone, or nearly enough anyway

The way the current capitalist economy is premised on a vey narrow exclusively capitalist class, and a very broad primarily working class from which the capitalist class extracts value. (While there are some redistributive mechanisms in place, they largely are downward transfers from the more successful members of the working class to the less successful members of that class -- or those that are effectively excluded from participation in either capital or labor because of lack of resources for the former and lack of marketable skills for the latter -- because capital income is tax favored over labor income.)

However, the more capital intensive the production of value is, the less well this basic structure works -- the less the marginal production increase of additional units of labor provides given existing capital, the less real income can be earned from labor. Unless you more equally distribute effective ownership of capital (either by direct redistribution of capital assets, or socialization of the gains of capital through tax and benefit policy, or some other means) the whole system falls apart.

> right before the owners of the robots decide to murder the rest of us since we were complaining too much.

That's also a means of leveling the ownership of capital, if you think about it (but its only a short-term solution to the problems faced by the owners of robots if they don't still have a leveling mechanism working between them.)

I am productive when I am motivated and I have a good process in place. Now, the process is easier - it is a matter of forward planning and using the right tools. Motivation is hard, so I make sure I commit to things, for real. So that there is no way out. Even if you ave passion there can be tasks you don't want to do. So I keep myself accountable: for instance, making sure someone else relies on the work being done or betting money on completing the task.

A Saudi Arabia Telecom's Surveillance Pitch [2013]
> Let's think strategically: if your first project is curing aging and achieving immortality, then every other project after that is just a matter of time. Just sayin'.

Actually, if you "cure mortality" first, you will exacerbate all the other problems related to population overshot, environmental damage, wealth distributions, etc. Then elf-style immortality will find itself cured, at gunpoint, or in more gruesome ways.

On the other hand, you can accept that both of us (along with every human alive today) will die. Once you are free of that burden, you may identify a worthy project, push it as further as possible within your lifetime, and take the time to train some younger replacements that can take over later on.

And of course, I might be wrong, so you might end up enjoying amazingly extended lifecycle. I just don't think it is a good idea to count on it.

Build a Deployment-Ready iOS App in Swift
It's like a cross between "Fear is the mind-killer" from Dune, and something Yoda would say.

And to actually add something useful to the discussion, I'll add that I think the key to dealing with fear, and distressing emotions in general, is not to try to get rid of it, but to learn to function effectively in it's presence. Sometimes fear is a valid response, and should be respected. A lot of the time, fear is not a useful response. Sometime, when fear isn't seen for what it is, when I'm acting out of fear but not aware of it, fear can be quite destructive.

I would be happy for more data that supports the positive effect from reunification. as someone living in east Germany the general feeling is that production was shattered in the east upon reunification as factories and infrastructure less modern were scrapped. most companies took on massive debts in the new economy and the majority resulted in closure. This narrative is one I question and would be happy for data points that suggest something other than a massive collapse post unification.

you should have been more honest and instead asked them whether they are prepared to sit in front of a computer 95% of the time - whether they like to learn new technologies in their spare time just for the sake of staying competitive no matter if it bears real practical relevance and if they are cool with earning less than their fellow key account manager ...
If the problem is indeed network related, I'd fire up Fiddler. You can install a Fiddler SSL cert locally to decrypt your SSL connections, it'll play man in the middle quite effectively and should hopefully give you some more intuition as to whether that's the cause of your problem.

Why do you have unit tests hitting outside services? If you have developed service clients that need to be unit tested, you should have mock services for them to run against locally so that your unit tests aren't going down every time there's a remote service failure. They don't need to be full blown services, but they should receive the request and respond with the expected result the service would give when hit by the client.

If your clients are generated by the remote service [i.e. by WSDL], then you shouldn't theoretically need to test those as they're generated by the third party - so you should be unit testing against mock clients.

I'd argue that integration tests with real world 3rd party services should be handled by some reporting system on your build pipeline somewhere and your ops team should be investigating that failure, you shouldn't need to be running them locally on your dev machine.
Right. "Phone" was the thing the iPhone did worst of all.

When I got my first iPhone (after a Blackberry Curve), one thing I noticed: everything my Curve did, it did better than the iPhone. It was a better phone, it was better for email, it was better for texting. (Ok, it technically had "apps", but they were so bad I never used any).

But my iPhone did a million things that my Blackberry didn't do (via apps).

Was it a worse phone? Absolutely. Did I love it much, much more than I ever loved my Blackberry? Absolutely.

Don't think of this as a "watch."

[slight edit for clarity]
Moto 360 owner. I use it for exactly those things, works great.
Replace these watch interactions with the less recent technology of "passing notes." I don't think the character in Gruber's story would have walked up to her and given her a kiss on the cheek if not for the watch standing in his way. I think he would have done nothing or found some other indirect means. And think about the story in the context of what he says about the phone and talking and video chat and seeing— it actually feels like you're being touched to enough of a degree that this interaction is more intimate. Mediation by technology is not inherently distancing.
Why do you want to test that you're improving? Start by answering that question. Once you've done that, focus on understanding how to improve whatever metrics are associated with your reason. For example:

"I want to make a popular app" - ok, pick a target number of users. Maybe 10,000? Or 100,000? Then go make something that'll be relevant and popular[1].

"I want to make more money" - ok, figure out how much more you want to earn, and then figure out how to go get that job.

Regardless, you need to be thinking about the long term.

I'm going to take your ∞ FPS comment on go on a wild tangent because physics is fun :-D:

Nothing can be infinity FPS because it would be limited by the frequency of the light that we use to see the watch hand. In the case of the visual spectrum, it caps out around 668 THz with blue light (red light is lowest at 400 THz). This would make it "only" ~4.7E12 times better than 144 Hz ;-).
> What basic income proposes at it's root is attempting to decouple basic necessities from the larger market economy.

I don't think of it that way. I think of it more as establishing common ownership of the social foundation on which the entire market depends, charging rents on them, and distributing the rents to the owners (i.e., all members of society equally).

> I think however that fundamentally we will need to change our moral attitudes broadly to actually embrace the "post scarcity" world.

I think "post scarcity" is a bad term -- its not a post scarcity world, and if it was, we wouldn't need to worry so much about how we distribute resources. Its just a world in which the nature of the market opportunities is such that the problems with our current manner of managing distribution of resources become even more pronounced.

> unless I have an iPhone, I couldn't even use an Apple Watch

That's the case with everything the watch can do, I believe. I know it can only receive notifications from iOS devices, and I'm pretty sure that, similar the original iPhone, it won't even tell the time without first pairing to an iPhone. (The original iPhone wouldn't do anything without first being connected to iTunes).

I'm under the impression that Android Wear devices will do most, if not all, of the things you want, though I don't actually own one. There are many of them at this point; I've personally only used the Moto 360, and quite liked it, but just could't justify the expense.

It's easier now, more than ever, to pick up a framework to action on something and just do it.

Ditto to Rickcusick's call out. This is one of my favorite insights on this thread.

There are so many moments in life where we have to start back at zero. I like to think about the Teddy Roosevelt "Man in the Arena" speech when I'm back at a "0":

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
How many high school kids have iPhones? Isn't it millions? I would not be surprised that huge numbers will have a $400 (or more) Apple Watch.

Now if that happens, it might be a sad commentary on the allocation of resources in our society - globally. But if the Apple Watch is successful, I would be surprised if it isn't common (>20% adoption) in thousands of USA high schools and lots of other high schools around the globe.

I would imagine high school ownership rate could well be higher than overall society ownership rate. Though I'll admit that is just a wild guess by a uniformed individual on this matter.
The security model of chrome extensions is such that I only use one--and that's one from a well-known company that I already trust with sensitive items.

How so?

Basically, the idea is that Yi is actually a Haskell library, and your "config file" is really a Haskell program that uses this library to build an editor.

This is similar to how many suckless tools are written. If you want to configure them, edit the source: It's designed to be approachable and easy to modify.

This style of configuration is extremely nice IMHO. It gives you complete control over everything in one of the cleanest, most expressive languages around. It also means that you don't need to maintain a separate configuration language, and people that use your software are already taking steps towards becoming contributors.
