Our CTO turned himself into a pickle during the tech LT meeting today and couldnβt switch it off and I could not hold it together.

Thinking about how The Good Place gave brown and black characters hyper specific and accurate ethnic names and it was fine and good and their ethnicity wasn't a character trait nor was it erased. Imagine if all white creators did this very easy thing

Q. What are Story Points? A. Story Points are a way of making developers deliver faster by asking them for a random number, and then saying, βThat seems a little high,β until they say a smaller number.Kris Jenkins (@krisajenkins)Thu, 23 Apr 2020 12:08 +0000

I'm really sorry to hear this - I had a kidney stent put in a couple of years ago, but I was quite fortunate that it was only ever so mild discomfort, although my body at the time was recovering from my ruptured appendix so maybe that distracted me? What have you been given for the pain?
If anyone out there has had a kidney stent and has ANY ADVICE on how to deal with the endless pain, please message me, I have 10 more days until it comes out and am not handling it well. Thanks in advance! (I have prescriptions for pain but they barely make a dent)

I recently asked if anyone I knew had one of the new models but got no responses (via my blog, or Twitter).
I've got an XPS 13 9343 and love it - largely form factor, but also the 3K screen - and have been wondering about upgrading recently, in part due to USB-C and fingerprint sensor, not for any other reason.
According to the Arch Wiki entry for the new XPS it's mostly alright, but doesn't seem to have fingerprint support.
May be that it needs to get upstreamed by the folks at Ubuntu.
In case it's a point of interest, the highest-end one has a 4K screen (RRP Β£1768.00)
I'd say go for the slightly newer one, with the caveat that if you stick with the Ubuntu build it comes with, it'll probably be alright, but if you want to re-install/install a different OS, it'll likely not work as well, and may require a more up-to-date kernel - as I decided to use Arch at the time it meant I always had the latest kernels, so as they added support for the drivers upstream, I was getting them pretty quickly, whereas friends with non-cutting edge kernels didn't have as much luck.
I really do recommend Dell for the XPS based on my existing one, and would be very interested to see how you get on with it, if you do get it, so it can inform my decision to buy one while I'm in quarantine and don't need my laptop to be as functional as I would if I were travelling.
This really brightened up my day! β¨ Thank you @WiT_Notts @technottingham @anna_hax πMarcus Noble (@Marcus_Noble_)Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:23 +0000
