All my previous cars were VW's. But the abysmal software was _the_ reason I didn't go with VW (or any of the other brands) this time.
Skoda Enyaq was the best of the bunch, the UI was fairly intuitive but still slow and unresponsive.
VW Id4 was over the line bad, but the worst of them all, it still annoys me to this day, was Audi Q4. For a car with that price point, it was like the engineers made a sport of how bad they can make a UI.
A pop-up saying something about privacy every time you start the car. Very regularly a pop-up saying "no data connection, while you could see LTE in the background, and everything appeared to just function normally. And many, many more
The only usable part is the fact that you can use Android auto/carplay.
In the end I went with a Polestar, and honestly I am very pleased. Would recommend it to anyone.
Then I'll be switching all the developers in our company over to a new machine.
(Currently running XPS 13, but we are due an upgrade, especially on memory)
Because of that I'm wondering why the cover photo is from Bruges, Belgium, more specifically:

Not having to maintain complex data structures to keep track of property dependencies as opposed to using light weight integer comparison to track changes. I can imagine @tracked being many times faster than @computed
But by all means, everyone is stuck playing the blame game, the red ties point to the blue ties and the other way round.
In the mean time, nothing changes and regular people loose.
Fuck Republicans, fuck Democrats, fuck Libertarians, fuck them all. The whole system needs to start over.
All these loads and loads of information you need to know to go to the doctor. How can regular people ever get the healthcare they need, and we're not even talking about the vulnerable, low income, low schooled.
This. Is. Ridiculous.
I'll take socialism over this nonsense any day of the week.
Ember has been a great choice for our business, and has given us the opportunity to punch well above our weight class.
Ember is a wonderful front-end framework and deserves a lot more credit than it is currently getting.
Great job Ember Team, keep it up, the community loves you!
At the time I chose Gandi for the 2 factor auth, and because it was a European company, but in the meantime there is plenty of other registrars offering the same.
The touchscreen works out of the box, but I don't use it that often, the few times I've used it I noticed that if I have an issue it's mostly related to the program I'm using and the lack of proper touchscreen support for that particular program.
I couldn't justify the price, the specs and the keyboard of a new MBP anymore and after much deliberation I chose a $1200 HP Spectre x360.
I do mostly web development work (Ember.js, PHP and Node), and after running Win10 for a few weeks and hating the performance (especially for Node). I installed Ubuntu Budgie, and have been smoothly running it ever since.
The latest Linux kernel provides me with excellent battery performance and for a machine a third of the price I must say I made the right choice.
We are looking into switching Slack to Hangouts Chat (why pay for 2 services when you can do it with 1). However we are getting mixed feedback from our test users… Anyone here with Hangouts Chat experiences?
I know there's a lot of bias out there against PHP. But I would still use it over the alternatives, there's a large community. With excellent frameworks who do the heavy lifting for you. (Symfony, Laravel). Great support and tooling, a large recruiting base and easy to pick up.
I personally love using Drupal 8 (which is built with Symfony), it has an excellent database abstraction layer, you can easily swap MySQL out for Postgres for example. There's a lot of functionality built in, and very developer minded (compared to WP) with many extra 3rd party addons. It also has a proven track record with deployments from small SMB to large enterprise users. It can also easily be extended with any Symfony packages.
For front end, I swear by Ember.js it is a framework which makes a lot of important decisions for you. You don't loose time setting up your tooling, deployments, state management, ... A great community, many excellent add-ons. A proven track record (LinkedIn, Twitch, Apple Music, ...) And on top of that, it has been around for 6 years, and is still actively developed with regular releases, with a excellent deprecation support so you can easily upgrade to new versions.
