My experience was the partying. He seemed to have boundless energy for it and it was infectious.

I remember arriving at a conference with serious jet lag and just wanting to sleep. I grabbed dinner with a few of the other speakers and Bob's energy was enough to turn dinner into drinks and drinks into skipping the whole night's sleep.

I met him around the same time and we did the conference circuit together for a fair few years.

I vividly remember being sucked into his craziness more than a few times in my formative years!

A fun, welcoming guy and an incredible technologist.

CircleCI Layoffs 4 years ago

If they are using Mobile Device Management (MDM), they can remotely wipe all the laptops before allowing departing staff to keep them.

Watts/kg output when cycling. On 1min, 5min, 20min and 60 minute windows. This is the only one I think that I _obsess_ over.

I keep rough track on my weight, but mostly over a quarterly scale and mostly as a big input to my W/kg!

This happened to my wife and me just last night on the east coast of the UK. We followed directions to a named restaurant POI on Apple Maps and ended up in the middle of nowhere.

Google Maps took us right to the door.

Couldn't agree more. I've had my non-Touchbar MBP since just after launch, and I couldn't be happier. The form factor is great and the screen is better than anything I've encountered.

Prior to this machine, I was unhealthily attached to an MBA 11" from 2012 and I was more than dubious that I'd break that attachment. Since I got the new MBP, the MBA hasn't moved once from the spot where is waiting for a re-install ready to give away.

I've been on the non-touch 13" for about a week now and I'm really happy with it. I moved over from a 2012 11" MBA. The form factor of the 13" is great for grabbing 30 minutes here and there during travel to do some work.

Battery life is good, and 16GB is a big step up from the 8GB I had on the MBA. I've been running a decent-sized system in minikube with no problems.

The only issue I still seem to have is that Hangouts absolutely obliterates the battery. A one-hour call took battery life from 9:45 to 1:15!
