one that broke the test runner, and ignored a number of tests

That's unfortunate! For the project I'm working on, we've "solved" that by showing the number of test and the difference to the number of tests that ran on main.

FWIW, at previous jobs, upgrading Java dependencies was a major pain because they were all outdated and the latest versions introduced too many breaking changes for us. At my current job, we pretty much instantly merge all PRs from dependabot because we trust our CI. Upgrades rarely introduce problems and if they do, they are easy to fix.

What I've noticed in practice however, is that occasionally, this process will allow an upgrade to a dependency that will pass the automated build and test step, but introduce the wildest runtime error into the application. Usually at the time when we aim to deliver something.

Sounds like dependabot is very useful for uncovering insufficient test coverage or missing integration tests :)

Do you have any data on that? We found that using transit could actually increase overall throughput because it does some minimal compression/deduplication.

It can be the same hardware but I believe that not usually meant with "hardware based encryption". The point is that the private keys never leave the hardware of the phone, thus making it secure. So they could employ the same hardware but the hardware does not have the necessary keys.

I can't tell much about it but we are using Onyx in production in a few months. Has been a real pleasure to use so far.

Not the same, CS majors in Germany have to choose one "Anwendungsfach" that consist of a subset of classes of natural-sciences, humanities or engineering majors. You have to choose one and stick with it. Also there is the "Nichttechisches Wahlpflichtfach" (probably the most german words I know) which can be a language class or mentoring first-semesters or something similar. So I feel like we get a lot of interdisciplinarity.

The render function only renders to the virtual DOM, which React diffs with the previous rendered virtual DOM to decide what changes to the real DOM have to be made. That's why the render function is, or should be, efficient.

The implementation feels like a complete overkill to me. The most obvious one being the Column component. I don't think you can judge the whole library on one instance where it's used (seemingly) without much experience and with an over the top approach.

Yes, I'm concerned about performance too but. Scaling on my 15" rMBP from 2012 definitely looks good, I usually keep it at one step lower (more screen space) than reccomended. If your eyes can take it, you won't loose quality.

Resolution of 2304x1440 which means at Retina this is 1152x720!. This is worse than the 11 inch air, much less the 13 inch 1440x900. I don't think people realize how cramped this will seem if you start doing work on this laptop

You can still scale the screen resolution and get a higher resolution than the Air's 1440x900.

I'd love to see that. But I think one would have to understand a bit about AI to enjoy this, which is generally not the case. Most people would probably just think of it as a video game AI.
