Exactly, and use 4.14. According to a recent comment from a kernel dev both kernels use the same patch approach. 4.4 and 4.9 are using a different approach that’s less ideal, less complete and apparently less tested.

Re-reading my post it does sound a bit confusing.
What I meant is: Ubuntu LTS seems to not give a damn if the kernel they use is also an LTS release.
Examples would be: 14.04, 16.04 HWE kernels, 18.04 (currently planned to be 4.15).

Based on the remarks I'm wondering if there's a distribution out there that is similar to Ubuntu LTS but only uses LTS kernels.
I'm on CentOS right now and love it, but from what I've understand so far it would be preferable to be on a newer kernel.
I was planning to look at Ubuntu LTS and while they do have updated kernels available they seem to ignore LTS: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
Also, 18.04 will be based on 4.15 which doesn't make sense to me.
Debian stable maybe?
EDIT: I know I can install updated kernels but I'd rather stick with what a core distribution provides if possible

I'm sorry that happened to you and thanks for speaking up. The way the company treated you is beyond awful.

I dislike the term fanboy, but otherwise a solid addition to the post.
One could argue that what you describe is a very geeky way to approach that descision and most people won't follow the same train of thought.

The original article reminds me of the usual SUN/Bild/Fox News style which makes it really hard to defend the author in any way. In addition to that he calls names, basically gives out the address of the person in question.. ugh.

Reeder was near-perfect until Google Reader was shutdown. Giving a developer another 5 bucks for an updated code base that unifies iPhone and iPad versions is so worth it.
The app is by far the best RSS reader on iOS imho.

If you look at Google trends there is a massive spike in Angular interest:

I'm not saying this should play the biggest part in your descision, but it's worth noting. I implemented 2 small apps in both frameworks, giving me a small fixed amount of time for each. I liked both, Angular gave me less head-scratching and out-of-the-box Twitter Bootstrap integration.

While the cage match was fun to watch I found it pretty one-sided. Tom Dale has awesome live stage skills and was better prepared.
While Ember and Angular seem to be pretty close in terms of functionality etc, Angular has recently gained a lot of momentum judging by Google Trends, blog posts and available 3rd party libraries (http://ngmodules.org/).
This might not be important for everyone, but when I could just plugin an Angular bootstrap model and stuff worked, I was happy and chose Angular.

This is not my work, I tried contacting dypsilon but couldn't find contact details to let him know he should stop by here.
EDIT: found him on twitter and contacted him

I haven't played with EmberJS too much, but read several times that debugging can get pretty nasty (the poster mentioned something about a run-loop if I remember correctly?).
Did you encounter similar issues or do you rely mostly on unit tests for debugging?
According to the top comment in one of the posts in HN even 4.9 and 4.4 use a less ideal patch: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16085672
I can’t really judge how much RH engineers are capable of fixing that kind of stuff in a kernel that’s officially out of support upstream.
Based on the general quality of RHEL/RHV I trust them to do the right thing, but I have no insight whatsoever in how kernel development actually works.
