This is awesome
I bought this 2-3 years ago https://cplay2air.com and it has always worked wonderfully. It takes around 5 seconds to connect, which is fine for me since the entertaining system of my car it’s slow to startup anyway (totalling ~10 seconds from turning the key to carplay)
Looks like regular TDD to me but tests are well defined real world use cases

This sounds a bit exaggerated. Until they don’t offer a Dropbox-like folder sync on desktop (Linux and Windows), I’ll keep my Tresorit subscription
I'll repeat a comment I saw here on HN some time ago about the productivity issue: if an asteroid were to hit the earth in one month, and there were a team of NASA engineers working to stop it, would you rather say them to work 4 days per week, or 6-7?

The concept of a system-wide hierarchical key-value store is actually very useful is some environments. I had to develop one some time ago [1] for an embedded system, since is super useful to have a single point of truth/configuration/state, if every application agrees on using it (which is the case in such systems were every application is known in advance and developed in house)

I live in Lombardy, and I can assure you that the conditions to meet in order to get tested are the same. Me and my three flatmates had 37-39 °C for some days, including a very bad cough. We called the emergency number, and they said that they could test us only in case of prolonged temperature and/or respiratory problems. This happened like 2-3 weeks ago, and considering the current state of the national health service, I don't think requirements became lesse strict
