Fashion statements come and go in academia. There are academics doing good research in unfashionable areas and doing just fine. Plus, it's hard to see where the latest trends will go. Who thought Software Defined Networks would be a th

> Once they're on the freeway, I would think most automation would work (relatively) well. That's assuming nice weather conditions. Mudslides, flash floods, extreme code, ice, snow, etc. needs to be taken into consideration.

To be extremely rigorous one would have to write formal proofs, that includes all steps. This is a type of proof that could be verified by a computer and may be tedious and very hard for a human to understand. Mathematicians tend to prove t

This makes me wonder. What is the "best" way to teach computer science to students? Universities are not trade schools (nor should they be), but it seems apparent that CS graduates in general are unprepared entering the workforce.

Since it seems to be a thing to report that X person specializing in machine learning has moved from Y company to Z, it makes me wonder if other areas of computer science is seen as relevant by the general public. One rarely hears Dr. John

That's Apples problem. Hopefully Apple gets the message that consumers want actual pro laptops. What I'm suggesting is let's discuss something more important on HN at this point.

I've used the new MBP since its release. It's fine. I have no issues with the battery and came to like the keyboard and screen. The anti-MBP threads in HN is tiring. How many threads have we had on this? How many threads will we h

I get at least 8-10 hours on my tMBP 15". I don't mind the keyboard. I this point it seems like hating on the MBP is 'free karma' and the 'in-thing' to do on HN. My experience has been otherwise.

You missed the part where I said they are underexposed to educational resources. These "objective measures" would be biased against low income students that aren't taught the material.

You ignore the fact most "gifted" students come from higher income families. There are "gifted" children from lower income families that would be misidentified due to underexposure of educational resources.

I have the tMBP 15". I know there is a lot of hate on HN (easy upvotes), but I get 8-10 hours on mine. I use safari.

I may be the only developer on HN that doesn't have this issue or on the entire internet for that matter, but I have no issues with battery life on my tMBP 15". I do all day development in eclipse and have music playing in the bac

Thanks for the feedback! I hope you get a refurb 2015 soon, sounds like they are selling out rather quickly! I have a fully spec'd out 2013 MBP 15" and the battery last at most 3 hours under an intensive programming load. The cycl

I'm doing to do more intensive programming on mine in the coming days after Christmas and see what hours I get. If dissatisfied I'll return it by Jan 8th for a full refund. I need an all day programming machine for school. Thanks

Thanks for your very encouraging words. You really brighten my day. I've always had an interest in theoretics/foundations and believe a strong mathematical backbone leads to better understanding of these fields. I simply couldn&#x

I'll probably be ~36 by the time I complete a PhD in CS. Should I be OK in terms of finding jobs at hip companies upon graduation (big 4, etc)? My areas of interest is in ML, algorithms but I'm completely OK with normal software d
