NextDNS is great. Totally worth the $

This looks really useful. Gonna give it a try!
I’d like to add to this my disappointment in using a G2 dock. Have had two different HP G2 docks (using DP and USB C) for dual external displays and they both broken over two years of sitting on my desk. I don’t know what’s happening to them but eventually both external displays start flashing and getting artifacts and USB and Ethernet devices start randomly disconnecting.

Just my experience. Hope other haven’t had those issues.

How does this compare to Sage?
Real question is why does android allow access to a phones MAC address?

All these years and they still don’t have a serious API offering.

This. Making the distinction between the two is huge. Save time and money testing the right pieces of a codebase.
Exactly. Been doing the same thing for years. Eventually just switched to AirMail.
Re:An introduction to RabbitMQ on Thursday May 21, 2020 @02:58PM (#23263277)
RabbitMQ has been awesome in my experience. One of the few tools that just works and has a super useful management web interface and Prometheus support among other plugins.

For those noting HA and scalability, it not meant for those use cases where (virtually infinite) horizontal scalability are the biggest concern. If you need horizontal scalability at a massive scale, use Kafka. But for the majority of cases, you can get away with limited scalability and the prod setup, development experience, and reliability of RabbitMQ are unmatched from my experience.

100% correct

This. Pull mirroring is a must before my team would considering using it.

I use Sage on a daily basis rather than Mathematica as an undergrad. Love it and plan on contributing in the future!
