I recall a similar statement from Ed Yourdon in one of his books (90's?)

Like thin client (VT100), to thick (client/server desktop app), to thin (browser), etc.
Similarly, console apps (respond to a single request in a loop), to event-driven GUI apps, to HTTP apps that just respond to a simple request, back to event-driven JS apps.
It depends on how you define the boundaries, but history rhymes.
Other than that, the XPS15 was a front runner.
- retina-like resolution 15" screen - 32GB RAM - slim and light without a flimsy plastic case - good battery life - good trackpad - keyboard home row centred
I could not find anything. I couldn't even find something with the first three items.
I'm starting to think it might make sense to go with a cheaper MacBook and a little pocket server like this: https://liliputing.com/2020/08/first-look-gmk-nucbox-2-4-inc...
I for one, would like to know who does their SEO... they are often at the top of the results for many searches.
I'm a bit surprised to see it still is around. I eventually switched to vi, since it was reliably available on most systems.
Each time there's a scandal, they tighten the rules so that ultimately only large companies with teams dedicated to writing proposals can compete.
To be fair:
- we worked on smaller projects of a scope where one person could maintain a mental model of the system
- nothing so mission critical as payroll
I expect the pendulum to swing back toward more internal development and greater ownership and autonomy. So far, not much has changed.
I haven't seen brain.fm, but there's so many tools that can help me improve the way I work.
It helps to show interest in your conversation partner, not as technique of influence, but because people can be generally more interesting if you pay attention.
The number one indicator of poor listening for me is holding a response in my head and just waiting until the other person finishes talking so I can spew my wisdom. Taking an improv class or three helps a lot in learning to listen.
The site http://confluence.org/ catalogs visits to intersections of latitude and longitude. Drill down into one of the maps and you'll probably find mostly empty spaces.

It gives a good introduction to the topic as well as other Japanese cultural phenomena.
As for how much better you can do... Someone just (6 days ago) registered "be-lang.com" so we might get a top 2. Good news is that "the-lang.com" and the .org equivalents are available.
With millions to be saved, I'm sure airlines do a decent job of working out the most efficient combination of large direct flights and smaller commuter planes. I don't think a 3/4 empty 767 to Fargo is the way to go.
If you want to take it to an extreme, imagine if the post office only delivered your mail point-to-point in the interest of efficiency.
More importantly, there's the fact that the level of access required to take over a webcam implies the ability to do all sorts of other things.
What I took away was that if his system was compromised, an open webcam wouldn't likely be the chosen vector for ruining his life.
Edit: Now that I think of it and especially with containerized dev environments and VMs, I'd bet it quite common. I'm sure I've opened up a DB or search container more than I needed to just because I couldn't get the damn things to talk. I still would have a firewall, but not everyone does.
