If you don’t want to spend 10$/month for Superpowered, checkout trymeeter.com. My cofounder and I built Meeter about a year ago and it’s fully free currently.

I am, I don't see much a difference at all compared to my 2016 15" MacBook Pro for Xcode projects. Whenever I need more power, I just ssh into my server with strong specs and start the process.

Really glad I bought this year's MacBook Air instead of waiting for this. Seems like a much better deal to me

Not here, tuition is very low (<2k per year) at ETH (due to being heavily subsidized) and doesn’t depend on nationality

I actually wasn't aware (I am not Swiss myself but apparently it was easy to get a permit as a EU citizen). Thanks for the info!

Hm, at least speaking for my uni (ETH Zurich), lots of grad students from Asia come here for cheap tuition & good PhD salaries, but almost all Chinese grad students I asked want to go back to China afterwards. Ideally we would keep talented people here instead of paying for their education with taxes and have them go back afterwards.

On Slack, you need to wait for your colleague to accept the call. We want to give users the option to be in an "active" state, where they immediately can talk to each other. If I am working on a project in XCode for example and want to ask my coworker about an idea i have, I don't have to switch apps, search the colleague, press call and wait for them to answer. I just move the mouse to the menu, see that they are active and I am instantly connected

I honestly doubt this, the virus triggered some events that will ripple through the economy and companies with WFH tools like Zoom and Slack won't be able to make up for the losses. There's plenty of big companies I know that need to cut costs, spend less on ads (which is bad for Google & Facebook), lay off people who then won't be able to consume as much and this will get worse in the coming months

I had the T400 and the physical WIFI switch was more of a bug for me instead of a feature

BahnCard is great, but what we really need is an inner-European loyalty card for trains. BahnCard only works in Germany and I don’t want to buy another loyalty card whenever I go to another European country.
