brew update should do it. You might be using too-old a version or hit an update bug. Try:

cd $(brew --repo); git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master; brew update

Find it strange I can't locate the screen size of the Surface Book on this comparison page. Have to go to Tech Spec page.

> Apple finally produces a new external Apple Display

Right after the media event, Apple has stated they're out of external display business.

Opportunities:

- A Thunderbolt 3 dock that has all the missing ports in new MacBook Pro

- Lenovo, HP, Asus release properly supported notebook with Linux similar to Dell XPS Developer edition. Makes desktop Linux available across PC industries.

- Microsoft release Surface Pro and Surface Book with Mubuntu (MS version of Ubuntu, since MS already has working relationship with Canonical)

- Cloud service via emulator that allows developer to build, test and submit iOS apps without actually owning a Mac

- Google release Pixel Book which runs a brand new OS that is ChromeOS+Android hybrid.

We need:

- Adobe releases Photoshop & Lightroom for Linux

- Microsoft releases Office for Linux

- A few major games for Linux. Makes Linux a game platform.

- One or two major Mac developers develop for Linux

- More developer using Electron and React Native for Ubuntu

But we will be back to the same by spring 2017 when Apple refreshes MacBook Pro with new CPU and cheaper price.

Touch Bar is in the same 'spirit' as sending heartbeats in watchOS, the Digital Touch in iMessage. Things that looks cool at first, many viewed as gimmicky, and very un-Jobs.

The new MacBook Pro uses version 2 of the butterfly keyboard. Not the same one as 12" MacBook. Verdict is still out how much is the improvement.

I'm not sure if the new MacBook Pro's Touch Bar is usable under Windows.

Any recommendation for a MacBook Pro equivalent running Windows?

One reason I'm stuck with Mac is the need to use it for iOS app development.

Curious will the Touch Bar show the standard function keys when run bootcamped Windows?

As predicted. There already are WhatsApp, WeChat and Facebook Messenger. All these apps combine chat and video chat in one. And Google wants us to install two apps.

This number is used by most Android flagships when they launched. Surprised Google put it into their video ads, as it sure will not be the best when other flagship Nougat phones are launched.

Curious to know what's the diff of using HTC and partnership with Huawei, LG for past Nexus. It appears to be the same arrangement as Nexus, except this time Google is able to place only their logo on the phone. If it is all deigned by Google, wouldn't it be cheaper for Google to get lower tier manufacturer such as Foxconn to produce?

Google should start selling a version of Nexus 5x (or equivalent) phone that comes with ads like Amazon Kindle, and price it at $99.

One of the reason I can't use Firebase for a mobile app is its SDK for Android relies on Google Play Services. And that app needs to target China market. And most Android phone in China has no Google Play.

Nexus 5X is listed at Google support site ( https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705#nexus_device... ) to have "No guaranteed Android version updates after September 2017". You might want to wait for the new Nexus according to rumours will release in September.

Looking at just Macbook Pro retina, which they skip a generation of Intel processor, my speculations:

* They have issue getting USB-C/Thunderbolt 3.1 right, power usage wise

* They are trying to incorporate TouchID, which requires custom chip like in iPhone, such chip takes time

* They want P3 extended sRGB for the retina screen but has issue with supplier.

* They are building a new trackpad that can support Apple Pencil, and it takes time.

* They have move majority of Mac hardware people to focus on ARM chip based Mac.

* They have a brand new overhaul design, but Johnny Ive is too busy with flagship building

* They are teaching customers that you only need to buy a new Mac every 5 years.

But there is no excuse for Apple not to make an interim upgrade with whatever new generation of Intel CPU.

Bad move for not having a web version. I just don't feel like downloading apps nowadays. A few of my friends are also like that.

China has the advantage of adoption en mass of mobile tech due mainly majority people has access to the net via mobile. Mobile payment is common. And they have a whole money making industry build on top of live tv apps (like vine, periscope). Scale and speed of adoption are keys. China has less tech people who're fixate to certain "ideology" such as JavaScript everywhere, HTML5 for everything, functional all the way etc. They just choose the tech that makes money. China is cutting edge in making use of tech to make money.

MS is using Electron for Visual Studio Code, so I can see them using NodeChakraCore instead down the road. They might push it as the way to develop cross platform app, with WebAssembly coming, making it the preferred platform is probably what MS wants. They are planning for Web 4.0.

Highly doubt that. They are losing to Huawei and Oppo in smartphone sales in China.

I doubt Google will open source Firebase since the latest version is tied deeper into other Google Cloud stacks. I evaluated Firebase as a backend for an iOS/Android app but has to drop them due to the app needs China market. Firebase Android SDK has dependency on Google Play Store services, and majority of Android phones in China do not have Google Play services installed. There are even report that some sites under Firebase Hosting (basic static site hosting) can not be accessed in China.

You can get some Sass/LESS benefit using PostCSS with CSSNext plugin. CSSNext will give you ability to use future CSS syntax now. If you want to go further, there is even a PostCSS plugin precss that can replace Sass/LESS. I just use CSSNext + autoprefixer + cssnano.

I think what he wants is a browser that tie to a Docker container. Does browser on a container make any sense technically?

Niantic has issue scaling the game quickly to more countries. Does not look good for Google Cloud. Even more so as there are ex-Googlers in Niantic in which most people will assume they have better grasp of Google cloud tech. Is it game design make the scaling difficult or is it Google cloud?

Apparently Google Maps also has full access to your Google account: http://sanziro.com/2016/07/pokemon-go-has-full-access-to-you...

Are you doing HTTPS? According to the article, the problem exists when running over HTTPS.

Thinking of moving a static site to S3 + CloudFront + AWS Certificate Manager with the purpose of enabling HTTPS for the site. Seems like CloudFront does not support index document even if you've enabled it on S3 (https://tiffanybbrown.com/2016/01/aws-certificate-manager-s3...). You can't have URL such as https://example.com/about/. Instead need to specifically use URL https://example.com/about/index.html.

Will look into Netlify and Aerobatic next. Are there other PaaS/SaaS that makes it easy to host HTTPS static site generated from Jekyll/Hugo?
