Normally it’s not a problem if one person needs 10 packs of toilet paper. Many folks who live far away from a Costco or any other store make quarterly trips and fill a trailer. I have relatives in Wyoming that travel hours to do this. Busin

Same here. No problems doing development. The Achilles' heel? Work conferencing with Google Meet. Kills the poor machine.

Since it runs in the Browser JS sandbox there will be a lower security footprint than the NPAPI Silverlight plugin. JS libraries can certainly still cause other web security issues but you shouldn’t be able to escape the browser just becaus

Agreed. My work had a six month period where they wouldn’t really let me do anything meaningful while they were in analysis paralysis (other than keeping the ship steady) so I found other useful things to do and trained myself on some new t

I’ve only ever flown into Gatwick and it surprises me that they haven’t expanded it with the aim of taking more business from Heathrow. If you’re operating as a transit hub, it doesn’t matter that you’re a train ride away from London. The n

Nothing here. It’s been as easy an upgrade as I can remember. My company’s IT team kept sending emails not to upgrade but I haven’t had an issue. I think they mostly were tired of dealing with early release headaches from Chrome not asking

Hehe. The comparison is both amusing and apt. I’m often in the “executive” position in this scenario and this barrier between the angry team/customer/partner and the people doing engineering work really pays in spades. The people

This has worked pretty well for me and my own weight loss (and maintenance) journey. When I eat outside of my own 9-10 hour window it usually ends up as a meal that I overindulge in and subsequently regret. As more anecdata, I find myself v

My personal experience is that this applies to any C suite member.

I can think of two examples. In LA there are busways that are built on former train paths. When they need to divert for whatever reason (road repairs, special event routes, etc) they can just make a turn and act like any other bus. Somethin

This is what I do. Not sure if it’ll work for this case, but my primary reason was to remove a single point of failure from my “banking architecture” and avoid the headaches publicized by people on HN that lost access or to their only bank.

Not a googler, but at my company this has not been the case. We use several programming languages and some of the people driven choices (rather than technical necessities) have lead to all the languages being twisted into an odd hybrid of t

As a practical matter that’s true if the body generates lift. F1, Indycar, and Prototype sports cars go faster and weigh between 700 and 900kg depending on the series and spec. Since they’re designed to generate downforce when going forward

I had great success using SQLite as the backing store for fast sharing and reindexing of a domain specific search engine component my company licensed. Before we developed our own algorithms and moved to Elasticsearch I was playing with aug

As someone who’s helped on both the technical and hiring side of a company that’s scaling, I agree and will add that a lot of hires are made in order to make life easier for existing hires. A team completely composed of 1:1 developer to tea

I don’t think the argument holds very well. Apple has made three processor architectural changes including one on the current OS. “Too complicated” doesn’t really align with the execution history Apple has. The fat binary support Apple has

A lot of ElasticSearch is in use at my work for search feature work.

I put gaffing tape on mine for grip since we have to key card in and out of doors on the floors of our non-shared office. I kept dropping a new-ish 15” they gave me as I often had to juggle things while getting in and out of heavily sprung

I think the tooling that’s rolling out to support building apps for each platform flavor (Marzipan, Catalyst, SwiftUI) make this a lot easier. There’s also always been a bias in some dev circles towards making dedicated iPad experiences and

I used to work in a company importing textiles and fitness equipment, so I see and do agree with your point of view. While this is true, I’d wager it doesn’t matter for a large number of consumers and their buying habits. A lot of “durable

My 5th gen Camaro's head unit came out easily (assuming you're not horrified at the idea of removing the center console). There are lots of plastic clips and tabs and a few screws, but nothing broke and it's all reversible. D

Delta and Norwegian are two examples of IFEs done right. Good content, the ability to browse the in flight menu, and very responsive. I take a tablet on anything else I fly on. I’m sure the premium cabins form premium carriers are similarly

Unfortunately I’ve found that the new tray systems they’re installing make the backpack versions of this obsolete since they won’t open all the way inside the bin.

Lengthening the landings gear did nothing to change the engine placement. It was done to allow for type commonality. https://www.geekwire.com/2018/boeing-737-max-10-landing-gear... Even with the extension it’s not as t

Not a direct answer, but what you’re more or less asking is “why did they not modernize the 757 instead?” The answer is type ratings. Pilots can fly certain classes of planes based on common training. I.E. the 757 and 767 are common enough
