tenzero··on Ask HN: What do you want to see most in the next iteration of the Macbook Pro?
Discard the touchbar. Keep the fingerprint reader.

Give a better quality keyboard. Give back a proper escape key.

Quad Core cpu in the 13” model and ideally an actual GPU.

10-20% thicker body for more battery. It’s already thinner than actually adds value.

Sim slot/radios for LTE data like the iPad.

A mechanical switch/shutter to physically block & electrically disconnect the camera.

tenzero··on Con Kolivas releases BFS, alternative to mainline scheduler
This is awesome, Con may have battled with the Kernel Devs in the past, however his focus on improving scheduling for desktop Linux is commendable.

I for one would like to see a module or kernel for Ubuntu Jaunty that we can install from apt to play and test this baby.

tenzero··on A visualization of why 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ... = 1/3
Well perhaps I delivered the statement poorly. My intent is not to troll, I detest Trolls.

The convention I have seen is to use the symbol of an arrow such as -> to denote the concept of approaching.

However I did state I was being pedantic.

While pedantic, the above "expression" is NOT = 1/3

1/3 is the limit, as the sum of n=1 to n -> infinity, of (1/4)^n

The "result" converges towards 1/3. You can get as close to 1/3 as you like, but the result will never quite equal 1/3.

Cheers Dion.
