Yahoo mail. Good grief, I was supporting a customer over a webex yesterday, and the ad-area was ridiculous.
I suggested he download uBlock to Chrome, just so the flashing would go away. I don't know how people put up with it.

Give me a foldable iPad that still has screen in both halves, but that is usable in landscape, and I will buy.
Appropriate haptics could make it work like a tiny laptop in portrait, but like a regular all-screen iPad in landscape.
And yes it does suck, but nice 16:10 aspect panels are still around, just a bit pricey.

If I remember, Linux used supplicant to wrap the Windows drivers, so assuming you had everything setup right, they worked pretty well on Linux.
Simon Brown communicates some of the expectations for the architect role, and why it should be a role, and not a rank.
For some people, it's not really surprising that they're depressed. Low opportunity, low-income, poor surroundings, poor education, stressful paycheck to paycheck existence. Of course they're miserable.
Of course, adversely comparing yourself to peers is also a strategy for misery.
For those of us to be lucky enough to be in reasonable shape, the knack to avoiding self-pity and depression is to accept yourself, and work through or around your own limitations and count your blessings.

You can have i7 quad-core, dual 1 TB SSD, 32 GBytes RAM (maybe more), backlit keyboard, thin(ish) form factor, and a fantastic 3840 x 2160 screen. Graphics are NVidia M1000M which is desktop class and runs CineBench 11(?) OpenGL test at 93 fps (faster than my NVidia GTX 970).
This is by FAR the nicest and thinnest portable workstation-class laptop I've ever used. It's easily carryable-around, which is more than I can say for any previous laptop such as the larger Dell Precisions, HP Elitebooks I've previously used in this class.
In particular, fast Samsung NVM SSDs and fast laptops are a match made in heaven.
Ok, I kinda give up on the last one.
Anyone know if there's a way to read them?
Just discovered it and watching right now.
This applies even with various FF sticks that I have tried and discarded over the years.
I had fun with this in a flight test in a twin once, landing on one engine, with the other feathered and not causing drag, the plane did not want to land. All you can do is wait in this situation. More fun with conventional gear where you can force it onto the ground and hold it there ;-)
Other areas, my recall is a bit hazy, but the corners of the flight envelope, stalls, spins etc., are better in X-Plane.
I know Austin flies, so the following is more aimed at him if he's reading.
With moderate care you can totally fly a Cessna 172, 152 etc. controlling the pitch just through the trim. Change the pitch wheel, and it affects the elevator, which affects the wing. The whole aircraft then settles down to the desired AoA which given a power input will cause the aircraft to climb or descend.
The specific short-coming of most sims is that trim input should settle the aircraft to a desired AoA reasonably quickly (subject to mild phugoid oscillations - mild pitch cycling) but it just never really does.
Typically, any decent pilot can trim the aircraft to the desired speed at some rpm, then just fly using light pressure on the controls adding or reducing power in small increments as needed.
Under say IFR, the workload can be quite high, and anything you can do to reduce the attention needed to maintain chosen course is critical.
Of course I may do anyway. I like to support small software producers.
I've been easing into the C++ standard library, lambdas etc., and familiarity makes it easy to write code that uses standard proven, fast, data structures, and mostly allows me to avoid any non-stack data allocation.
Avoiding heap memory allocation, and taking advantage of the appropriate idioms, allows much faster development, even in C++.
The huge bonus when done correctly, is very high-performance, clear and portable code.
Is it still truly mainstream, or have C++ users, at least on Microsoft, mostly migrated to managed C# code?
Certainly at the company I work at, there's been an active migration over maybe the last 5 - 6 years to C# from C++, though we still have millions of lines of C++ / MFC / WinForms code in the primary application I support and help maintain.
Career-wise, I'm quite happy to stay with C++, as it's been my experience that I can throw together utilities that run with minimal, run fast and are reliable, just using C++ and the standard libraries.
As far as writing Scala or Python, Why write code that goes slower than it needs to?
We routed 6 layer PC cards on it ... all night.
Facebook is full of shit. Of course they are using locations, why else would I get suggestion to friend the guy that cuts my Mother in Law's yard - he stops by for a check from my wife.
