Is Renault leaving?

While you are mastering Spring, I am mastering libraries that do the thing my program needs to do.

While you are trying to debug to your Spring app, which is a huge PITA because Spring is a rat's nest of conflicting configuration paradigms and overlays and fills your call stack with dozens of layers of generated methods, I have finished my work and am ~~at the beach~~ helping my coworker debug his Spring app because he didn't listen to me when I said not to use Spring.

So Monaco, but less chance of rain to make things interesting?

Mountain bikes have to be lightweight and strong, and production volume is low. Suspension design takes R&D, and adds moving parts. Start pricing components and you hit $5000 easy for a full-suspension bike. For hardtails, you are making a lot of compromises at $1500, but $2500 gets you a nice bike.

For road/gravel bikes, once you get over $2000, you are paying a lot of money for tiny weight savings, negligible aerodynamic improvements, and electronic gizmos.

For either mountain or road, if you want a custom/hand-made frame and parts made in the developed world paying living wages, you are going to spend a lot more. Taiwan makes a lot of great frames, but if you want a frame made buy a dude in Denver who names all his bikes after craft beers, add several grand.

For city/commuter bikes, you can get something perfectly good for under $1000, but if you can swing $2000, get a Brompton.

I want to hear somebody come up with a justification for moving the "Save" button in the download dialog to the top right, instead of the bottom, where everybody expects is after thousands of years of top->bottom left->right reading. Now the flow is top->bottom, left->right, where is the save button? Oh yeah, somebody moved it way up there.

x86 computers have BIOS or UEFI which provides a way for the OS find the hardware. ARM devices generally do not have a counterpart to BIOS/UEFI. More details here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/721976/why-is-it-harder-to-upgrade-an-arm-device-vs-an-x86-device-with-newer-linux-ker

I would make sure they are both payed well enough that they can afford to live close to the factory. If they chose to live far away anyway, that is not my problem.

I started running OBS with a virtual camera to do screen sharing. It is so much nicer to manage sharing with OBS than with Slack/Google Meet/Discord.

Because not one of those laptops have a TrackPoint style mouse.

"This thing that does not exist and nobody has any idea how to make it" will totally be safer than human driving.

You know what is safer than human driving and we know how to make? Trains.
