The article in question is about what's good for the heart and ultimately, living. Prolonged sitting kills far, far more people than alcohol. Anecdotally speaking, alcohol happens to be a lot more fun than sitting. Pick your poison, I suppose.
Sitting, alone doesn't kill you. The studies that mention that include unhealthy habits coupled with sitting.
Alcohol defenders like you should just embrace the poison and stop trying to compare it to anything else unless that other thing is literally another poison.
Datapoint: I've had/have a really good experience with Blender. Countless opensource resources to fill any gaps in the export pipeline. Not to mention the relatively easy python api that gives you access to all the scene's data.
Blender's Python API, although cleaner and better organized than Maya's, only offers a sliver of Maya's functionality. Maya has a standard maya.cmds API for scripting which works similarly to how Blender's Python API. Maya also has a separate library maya.api.OpenMaya which is a wrapper around its C++ plugin api. Blender doesn't offer anything like this.
Not sure if it's the same in the US, but in Australia women can nick half or more (tends to be 60%) of your stuff (including superannuation) even if you're NOT married through the joys and wonders of a de facto relationship.
I've got a mate going through this exact scenario right now, never married, lived with this woman for two years. She decides she wants to move back to England and sends the lawyers after him for a large slice of his superannuation.
There are personally no advantages to marriage for me.
I can't find an "equal" in real life. I'm very successful play music, draw and research and I can't find a woman that genuinely is interested and excels in these unless it's for some superficial value.
It's like we're biological different.
All well and good, but when the system itself becomes unfair, I just can't get myself to swallow the pill.
Sayonara mofos.
My career, surrogacy or have family in a less misandrist society.
Any serious developer worth his salt is not going to put up with the utter shit the new MB(P) are.
I know they're catering to "media" types but for any engineer who also happens to be a 10x and well rounded, doing art, music and other fields will feel constrained.
Apple has left the golden middle ground a long time ago and is going after the "media" types only. News flash: the margins in those youtubers-sectors are very low, hence the spending will dry sooner rather then later.
I've been using the MBP pro circa 2012 and upgrading/hacking the hardware.
It's aging gracefully and next laptop will be a non-mbp which can run MacOs through VM. Price parity allows much more horsepower and modularity.

I don't think that this is a very good good laptop for media-youtuber types either. Just watch Casey Neistat's review of the new rMBP. He really wants to like it, but it's really clear from what he's saying that it's completely unsuited to his needs. In particular, the loss of the SD card slot is going to hurt anyone who uses pro camera equipment.
Now I really don't know which target market they're trying to aim for, cause where I'm standing it's a net miss, aside from the millennial generation which isn't a bread winning one for the most part.
Maybe I'm not seeing their big picture, but as far as I'm concerned, A net producer from technical to art, this machine is a fail.
I see no user's needs being a good subset of this machine's capabilities. It's just impractical.
I have a 2012 rMBP and I'm thinking of upgrading to a refurb 2015 rMBP. I'd like to upgrade to the last good generation of MBP; it might be a while before Apple decides to start making good laptops again.
To compare that to sitting is stupid.
