Did you intend to answer someone that is having troubles with Windows on their XPS?

Ubuntu 18.04 has been rock solid for me on the XPS, and it has been getting BIOS updates (and Linux has been getting device driver updates if I want to reinstall).

Linux worked perfectly on the Toshiba I had for the previous 4 years (I didn't buy it with Linux in mind, it just worked).

In my experience, Windows laptops often get "driver rot" over time (amongst other issues). As a developer I can usually fix the Windows issues, but it certainly is not a painless task.

Dell's XPS Windows drivers were particularly bad considering the sticker price - Windows blue-screened two clicks into the install after opening the box - and I had some other blue-screen problems that took me a while to resolve when I first got the laptop. I haven't booted into Windows after installing Ubuntu, and Ubuntu has given me far less trouble than Windows (on this machine).

As Spotify points out, and I've seen first hand, Apple prohibits you from allowing users to create accounts or enter contact information if your service has a paid option and you don't use apple's IAP.

So you couldn't even get to the point where you can send an email without first falling in line with IAP.

And according to my understanding of the Spotify timeline, and I haven't see this because I haven't published to the platform in a while, Apple now prohibits you from targeting your iOS users with upgrade communications (even if they didn't sign up via iOS, which they didn't since that's prohibited).

I worked at a company where we did something similar to that once. It was a nice compromise.

It was a Rails monolith; one of the larger ones in the world to the best of our knowledge. We (long story greatly shortened) split it up into about ten separate Rails applications. Each had their own test suite, dependencies, etc.

However, they lived in a common monorepo and were deployed as a single monolith.

This retained some of the downsides of a Rails monolith -- for example each instance of the app was fat and consumed a lot of memory. However, the upside was that the pseudo-monolith had fairly clear internal boundaries and multiple dev teams could more easily work in parallel without stepping on eachothers' toes.

Other times an adaptation of one animal so radically changes the environment that other animals adapt similar traits because of it.

> last two Ubuntu LTS upgrades (4 years);

What does 'last' mean? Any laptop should 'last' 8+ years.

> have a high spec (i9 etc);

I really don't see the point of high-spec laptops for development use. Higher end, high power components just make the batter life worse - reducing the entire point of a mobile device. And you're paying a premium for the mobile version.

A much better option is to have a beefy linux desktop that you perform work on remotely. There is very little reason to locally compile code on a laptop. The economics work much better IMHE... If you have a $2000 budget for instance, you can build a $1300 desktop and buy a $700 laptop which gives you much more power and flexability than buying a single $2000 laptop. So yes, I do think many Google engineers just need a portable terminal to connect to beefy VM's remotely. If you are often working on a mobile internet connection, Mosh works very well for high latency connections.

The $2000 laptop makes sense if you want to game while traveling and/or are using Windows where offloading work to a remote machine is a bit more clunky than just using X11 forwarding and/or tmux over SSH.

Something about this piece doesn't smell right. The author claims to be a pilot with 45 years of experience, writing in a publication that bills itself as "by pilots, for pilots", but I'm a pilot (with 23 years of experience) and I've never before heard a pilot refer to the yoke as "the wheel". ("If you don’t believe me, sit in a Bonanza A36 or Cessna 210, or just about any other high-performance piston airplane, and pull the wheel back while sitting still on the ramp.")

I'm also very skeptical of his thesis that these accidents were pilot error, that there is nothing different about the Max 8 than any previous generation of the 737. The 737 in general has an excellent safety record. The Max 8 has had two crashes within two years of its introduction. The odds of that just being a coincidence are pretty damn low.

So I can't help but wonder if this guy is a shill. Maybe the question we should be asking is: can pilots trust Boeing?

I think that's because NYC is one of the few places that an app just like you describe would make any sense. :)

In many places, the list of "things happening this hour on a weekend afternoon within 10-20 minutes of where I am right now that I might possibly be interested in" approaches zero.

On the other hand, if there is a huge list of events happening close to you soon at any given time, the problem is "that I might possibly be interested in." The "things my friends expressed interest in" is useful not just because my friends might be there (although that can be a plus, or a prompt to text one of em and say hey you wanna go to this), but because if a buncha my friends are interested in it, that makes it more likely it will be something that will appeal to me, because my friends in aggregate are more likely than random to be interested in things I am.
I think (please correct me if I’m wrong), the plane’s “type” is fixed, and pilots have certifications for that “type”. So theoretically the plane is simialar enough to not require completely new training if a pilot is certified to the type - this new 737 Max is grandfathered into the 737 “type”. If it were different enough, then it would be a new type. If the plane is a new type, pilots, and likely all sorts of other things, mist be retrained, and reissued.

So there’s an incentive to not just make the type backwards compatible to keep the common “type”, but also not introduce too many new features that might bring into question the grandfathered training.

This 737 Max added this new “safety feature” without telling the pilots (because it’s the “same type”). And that feature seems to have an unfortunate interaction with other systems in some circumstances.

3. The adding of categories of things was intuitive and easy.

Dislikes

1. When searching for the place the search term I typed in didn't change into the data that populated with my search. I did it again to make sure I did it right. Update the text box with the full format name airline style.

2. The itinerary inspirations provided lists of things to see and do (good) but no reviews and no way to click for more outside your site. I popped another google tab to copy and paste.
> The solution is simple: Don't let any process read the clipboard unless the user explicitly pastes.

but how does an OS know that a particular key combination is meant to mean "paste"?

Couldn't the app just pretend that the user wanted to paste because their cursor is in the password field?

Or, you end up with the OS owning all of an app's interaction. Leaving very little room for app innovation or improvement. It's a bit of a rock and a hard place.
I don’t know the specifics, but I assume the process to get changes approved to an already-certified type of aircraft (the 737 family in this case) is less rigorous than what you’d have to go through to get an entirely new type certificate.

What Is Antibody Humanization?
Antibody humanization, which constitutes a key part of the experimental study on the production and preparation of recombinant antibodies (monoclonal antibodies), represents the process in which murine antibodies develop into human antibodies. About a century ago, the specific combination of antibodies and antigens and the passive immunity of antibodies opened up a new way to diagnose diseases. Furthermore, the advent of the monoclonal antibody technology in 1975 accelerated the wide application of antibody humanization. https://www.creative-biolabs.com/antibody-humanization.html
You probably (depending on your location) had so-called ‘deep sedation’ for your colonoscopies, which usually involves reasonable doses of anaesthetic drugs, likely leading to complete amnesia. The crucial point is that we don’t necessarily promise no recall, that’s a side effect of maintain comfort and facilitating the procedure.

* Use a program like flux to reduce the blue light in the late hours (helps with sleep as a side effect)

* Think about your workspace. A lot has been written about this. Read it.

* Every now and then look up and gaze into the distant, roll your eyes and try to feel which muscles of the eyes seem tense. Try to loosen them.

* If you read a lot on screens get an e-reader and implement a way to get away from the screen (can also help with focus)

Your eyes are muscles. And like for every muscle the best thing you can do is move it instead of keeping the same position unchanged for ages.
Sure. But my point is that the name is easy to forget. It's not a top level brand like 737 or 787. It's a variant. People will write the information off as essentially trivia, because it's just one variant out of "how many?"
Rails 6 adds delete_by and destroy_by as ActiveRecord:Relation methods
I feel like this argument of Monolith vs Microservice is really a discussion about premature optimization. There is nothing wrong with starting out with a monolith with great design. Limiting the responsibility of the monolith is the key I believe to a maintainable piece of software. Should you need something or your business needs grow to be outside of that defined responsibility creating a new service should be discussed.

For example I have a service that hosts / streams videos. I have 1 service that handles all the metadata of the video. Handle users, discussions etc... one could even think of this as a monolith. Then video encoding piece started interfering with the metadata stuff so I decided it might be smart to separate the video encoding into its own service since it had different scaling requirements from the metadata server.

In that specific case it made a lot of sense to have 2 services I can justify it with the following reasons.

- Resource isolation is important to the performance of the application.

- having the ability to scale the encoder workers out horizontally makes sense.

So now it makes sense I’m managing 2 services.

There should be a lot of thought and reasoning behind doing engineering work. I think following trends is great for fashion products like jeans / shirts etc... but not for engineering.

If you are starting a project doing microservices chances are you are optimizing prematurely. That’s just my 2cent.

> Have commercial jetliners ever been recalled en masse?

Yes, all the time. They're called "airworthiness directives" and you can find them all here: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/airworthiness_direc...

They're basically like car recalls: You take the plane to maintenance and they swap out the bad doodad. Boeing had a very public one like this with the 787 batteries when it first launched; they made some changes and now it's an incredibly popular plane. But in general, they're happening all the time for basically every plane, just not catching much public attention.

I think many think an rdbms-centric design is just "basic architecture", and all that "event sourced" stuff is over-engineered buzzword complexity.

It might very well be _useful_, it may be something many more people oughta be doing if only they knew how valuable it was. Could be! But it certainly does not seem basic or simple to me. It seems, well, "ivory tower". And something with a learning curve. Not "basic" at all. (And certainly neither do microservices).

Do y'all in Europe learn "domain-driven design, event storming, serverless, and event driven architectures" in school or something? (I don't even totally know what all those things mean, enough to explain it to someone else).
