To be honest, the TouchBar was one the reasons why I still haven't upgraded my MacBook (first Retina). I bought a PC laptop to tie me over until they reverted this change.

The recent MacBook Pro's are IMO not superior to the experience of using the first Retina MBP's. I'd rather have that model of MBP's, only with performance increases and without the Touch Bar.

My hunch is that it's sliced so that at small sizes it's more identifiable as a bagel than say, a donut? Just a guess.

To be honest I really dislike this analogy. Where I live there is indeed no importer of certain brands of products that I could easily get in the US. Not even an equivalent alternative. But life goes on and aside from me complaining about i

Yes, you're more accurate. If he won re-election, Twitter would've likely bent the rules around his behavior.

I love algorithms, but in all my years of coding I've never had to use DP on the job. IMO, it's not useless knowledge or never used, but it's not something I think most developers are going to use at their companies to accomp

One of the companies I interviewed at had me do this exercise at the end of the interview and to be frank, I bombed it quite badly. One issue was the syntax was so weird compared to the type of code I'm used to writing and reading from

You could make a rule that the more experienced player has to start with a handicap. That's fairly standard in Chess when an experienced player wants to play against a much weaker opponent.

Some developers on HN have often said they enjoy when Designers know how to code, but it's actually quite hard to get a job as a designer who knows how to develop when you don't have the same coding experience as a pure developer.
