So, contrary to your statement, yes, Apple managed to hit the bar set by their competitors.
At the prices Apple charge for their laptops I expect them to far exceed the bar set by their far cheaper competitors. If they only meet it then there is nothing to justify the far higher prices...which is a big part of the problem with the new MBPs: they are average laptops with an insanely high price.
This is an early-Production issue, and will be quickly fixed with a software update.
Remember, the new MBPs boast much louder (and better-sounding) speakers. I would bet that they have upped the amplifier-power as well, and testing this particular thing slipped through the cracks.
An understandable growing-pain, considering it is a fairly obscure thing to test.
I don't even want speakers in a laptop. I never use them. Put batteries in the space otherwise taken by the speakers please.
There was a documented case where a flight attendant survived a fall of about 20,000 without a parachute from an airplane, although I don't know the details of that.
Her name was Vesna Vulovic. It happened in 1972, and it was 33,333 feet (10,160 m) not 20,000 feet.
No site licence needed to learn/teach C++. gcc is free (and runs on windows too, not only linux).
According to the surveys that the college sent out to the surrounding Silicon Valley companies, employers wanted Visual Studio for their C++ programmers. Administration had declared that C++ can't be taught without Visual Studio. The dean taught C++ with gcc in his Linux Admin classes. When the college renewed the Microsoft site license, Visual Studio.NET refused to run on the older computers. The dean had everyone boot into Linux and taught the C++ class with gcc instead, as the textbook was compiler neutral.
I have a degree in computer science. At no point did they try to teach us to program in any language. They told us right at the start it was our own problem to learn how to program. SUNs were provided (this was the late 80s/early 90s) There were languages courses that covered the theory of languages and all the different types and paradigms. There were compiler courses on how to write a compiler. There were formal semantics classes. There were DSP classes. There were graphics classes. There were database classes. There were electronics classes. Much programming was required in the coursework and labs and final year project. Not once was I taught how to program.
I'm surprised to find that colleges teach programming. What for? There are more general principles to learn that will underpin programming through the years.
Code like that would work if the language was designed in a way to keep data as data and language as language.
If someone's name was Johnny;); drop table munidata;-- that is what should end up in last name. The language should be smart enough to not get confused about this. There are many libraries that float around to address this very problem through elaborate quoting or sanitation but really it's the adherence to SQL and non type safe languages and APIs that is to blame.
>You claimed the greenhouse effect is demonstrated by stepping inside a greenhouse.
It is. Same principle.
>A greenhouse is warmer because it is a glass box. How does that demonstrate the greenhouse effect as used when referencing global warming unless you are claiming global warming is caused by a glass box?
A greenhouse is warmer because sunlight and to a lesser extent UV passes through the glass easily, hits matter, gets absorbed, gets re-emitted at a lower IR frequency and the IR bounces off the glass and so the energy is retained, just as it bounces off the atmosphere with a higher rate the higher the presence of certain chemicals now known collectively as 'greenhouse gasses'.
None of this is controversial. It's textbook stuff. Why are you arguing? Didn't you study how a greenhouse works in schools? I certainly did.
>Again it's about the length of time you spend in close proximity with the emitter more than it is the wattage inside the oven, obviously.
Not if we are talking about making sparks.
As for your other concerns, there's a massive amount of epidemiological research that has failed to show your concerns have basis in fact.
>Read more before you try to say this is completely studied, completely safe I said no such thing. Absolutes are improper assertions to make in a field with uncertainties.
I spent long enough designing phones and getting them tested for SAR limits. I was doing a simple comparison of the 1000W being dumped in a microwave oven bouncing around constrained in a chamber compared to the 250mW being emitted by your phone into open air. It's approximate.
1000 more black holes with the associated grind for each black hole to get the stuff to repair what broke in the last black hole in order to get to the center, when something might happen.
Nope.
Now they're offering that I can sit still and build stuff thus making less progress towards the galactic center.
Induced currents in non grounded conducting medium. The energy has got to go somewhere. It's greater than 10,000 times more than the power you might encounter from say your cell phone, and significantly more than that for an overhead power line. Don't sit in a microwave oven. It will not end well.
Yes, it is indeed warmer. I was not being serious in the sense of meaning it was actually colder. I was being serious in the sense of highlighting the absurdity of denying the greenhouse effect when it can be demonstrated by stepping inside a greenhouse.
Gone are the days when access to main memory took less than a single CPU clock cycle...
On PCs this is true. But I regularly engage on an engineering level with CPUs with single cycle memory access. They're part of the fabric of things these days.
so that only human 0.01% output is heating the Earth atmosphere?
That's not the scientific argument at all.
When the Sun irradiates the Earth surface in one and a half hour with as much energy as the entire humanity generates in one year
Start there, add chemicals that trap that heat from the sun, then you have problems. The science is saying that humans are producing chemicals that prevent the sun's energy from radiating away like it used to. Similar to panels in a greenhouse.
Everyone knows it's colder inside a greenhouse right?
I love RISC-V, I really do but $50 for a chip in bad package is too much. Who can hand solder QFN chips?! $20 is really my limit for a chip of that caliber and it would need to at least be in a QFP package.
The reason stated for the QFN package was to achieve clock higher frequencies (160MHz) but really, 50MHz is enough.
Where did people earning PhDs in Math first learn Math?
In the case of my family, from my wife the K-12 teacher (back then - she since went back to college and got a PhD). Having a grown child with a PhD in math is rather handy.
The idea that current teachers have adopted fuzzy math and new concepts is complete bullshit. They are caught in a repetitive swing cycle between procedural teaching and learning through problem solving. This has been going on for a century, back forth. Teaching underlying principles that parents never understood is what opens the path to higher mathematical thinking and what leads parents to post math homework questions that they don't know enough math to answer themselves because they got the procedural method.
It was an Apple ][+ starting at age 9 for me. My 11th birthday present was a copy of Rodney Zacks programming the 6502 (imported from the USA). I still have it.
I believe the immediacy of basic and the simplicity of 8 bit machine code was effective at drawing people in.

Is this the guilty command in the boot loader?

That's why you should have got an Apple ][.

At least her velocity was not terminal.
If you want to talk about "universes", the rules that define ours could be fit on a 3 1/2" floppy disk hundreds of times over.
Double density or high density?
Flippy. Cut the tab on the other side and turn it over for twice the capacity.
So an inside job?

>I've never met an H1B person with 10+ years of experience.
That's because you can apply for a greencard and get it before 10 years is up.
Why would we think it is targeted? It could well be just a standard ransomware email that found a soft squishy prey in the form of MUNI.

I Already Stopped Playing
EVERYONE has already stopped playing. There was 500 active players on steam last week, down from the 220,000 when the game launched.
I broke my own rules and paid for a new game. I'll put it down as a learning experience.

They are not ionizing.
You'll be fine.
That's a strange thing to think. Why would you think that? Type less, think more.
It's often humid in a greenhouse. The analogy that keeps giving.
Yes, it is indeed warmer. I was not being serious in the sense of meaning it was actually colder. I was being serious in the sense of highlighting the absurdity of denying the greenhouse effect when it can be demonstrated by stepping inside a greenhouse.

As is 640k obviously.
why bother with an actual chip? there are plenty of open source microcontrollers you can use today with any number of FPGAs.
Cost and performance usually.
