Interesting use of `latency_ms_max` as a naming convention. I'm definitely guilty of `max_latency_ms` instead, but they make a convincing argument for putting `max` at the end. If this topic floats your boat, go look up the NASA codin

The baseline for watches is changing the battery every 3-5 YEARS! This modernity of charging watches daily is a pox on humanity brought on by Apple. Pebble (and Fitbit, and others) were always in the "week-plus" timeframe for char

Great point! Confluence of simultaneous factors. PERL tripped over it's own feet (too clever, line-noise, unmaintainable). Java(TM) being "guaranteed to be business-like" sucked the serious use cases away. PHP was easier to
