It's designed to be useful for more than one kind of "Pro". The old Mac Pro, for instance, seemed to completely forget about music studios and their professional requirements for Macs. This new machine may seem like overkill

Or we could just start punishing companies for massive and widely damaging data leaks. AFAIK about GDPR, it wouldn't prevent this. These things keep happening because nothing bad happens to companies that let it happen.

Nothing could hold up to the amount of hype Magic Leap got, but based on what I've seen it's been an excellent use of its investment capital. They've been experimenting with new technologies for years now and they finally hav

I'm sorry, but your example falls a little flat when you look at how Fox News became the lynchpin of the shit-show the US is sinking in to right now. People adapted to it, sure- but that's the problem.

I still don't really understand how exclusive franchise agreements /aren't/ illegal, given antitrust laws.

Yes, I disagree with the above user's statement about why they're said to be federated- they're federated because content from any instance can appear on any other instance. The federation is the cross-talk.

From the looks of it, no actual subset of it would form a functional system, so it is itself a fundamental unit?

From what I've seen, no one involved really cares about how robust it is. It's a crypto-bandwagon cash grab.

Oh, yeah- I only ever use the Twitter website to manage my notifications. Tweetbot on OSX and Flamingo on Android are my gotos. Also, LinkedIn is terrible, and has been for the entire duration of my experience with it. I recently discovered

I've been really engaging with Mastodon lately and having a similar experience. I find it's also changing the way I behave on sites like Twitter and HN as well.

I decided last year that after 10 years, I would figure out how to get something out of twitter, and what I've found is that it really became a useful tool for me by the time I was following around 300 people, and had curated joke and

It seems to me like what you're trying to do is analyze video, while Moviepy is mostly really good at programatic editing. Have you looked in to OpenCV?

How much video/audio editing have you done?

I've used Moviepy fairly extensively in a recent project and yes, the docs are incomplete. I've had to resort to actually reading the source code to figure out why, for example, my argument was being ignored. I still have some unr

There's so much range confusion over at Apple right now it's starting to feel like the 90's all over again. Compare the Macbook with the 13" Macbook Pro, there's a ridiculous amount of overlap there that makes their

This isn't a post about why the author won't buy one. The post is about why the author, a long time Apple die-hard, doesn't believe the current Macbook Pro is "Pro". These posts get so high up on HN because they res

This is as asinine as the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" trope. People use guns to kill people. People use privacy breaches to kill people. People also use ideology to justify killing people, so you're not

I lived in Spain for a year, and everyone had chips there. My US card always drew eyerolls as they had to find the /old/ machine and dust it off and find someone who remembered how to use it. I was excited that we were getting chi

Then you make a note of it, and send them a letter (certified, receipt requested).

I'm really amazed I had to scroll down this far (past the pedantic supercharger/turbocharger nomenclature arguments) to get to someone making this point.

I make a pretty decent salary in the US, and I wouldn't call that affordable.

Again, it's a matter of perspective. Strictly speaking, I don't need a faster dGPU for audio. But I also work in VR, and right now I need a separate computer for that, even with a brand new "pro" laptop with a pay-throug

I think your confusion is stemming from your perspective. To you, smaller and lighter is unequivocally a Good Thing- However my 2013 MBP 15" is already light enough that I can one hand it comfortably, and can carry it everywhere withou

The actual problem for me (audio engineer/music production) isn't so much the new machine itself, it's that after /years/ of stagnation, at a much-hyped keynote titled "Hello Again", referencing the origin
