Just got the Soundpeats Trueair 2, they're very very similar design to airpods. Case is slightly smaller even, much lighter/cheaper feeling but are well built enough, work reliably and have usb-c.
I naively picked up a late 2018 air without considering the thermal aspects of the performance. It sounds obvious but I totally missed it and bought on basis of the benchmark numbers, make sure to look at the thermal performance under sustained loads. Notebookcheck do a good job at deep diving on this in their review https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Air-2018-i5-256-....
It's basically passively cooled! There's no heatpipe connecting the fan to the CPU so it kicks up to max all the time trying to cool it but can't make much of a dent on the temp. Really mind boggling.
I had to switch back to my old pro machine and felt like a bit of a berk for not reading up on that aspect.
I've been using turbo boost switcher for a couple of months now with a base MPB16 and it's worked well. I pretty much keep turbo boost off all the time, barely ever notice any slowdown and it seems to help with noise & heat.

Happily sprang for the pro version, it's needed to not have to keep authorising it in on every switch.
+1 that is my anecdotal experience also, started living between uk and us, conducted many international transfers over 5 years with no issue, was having a much harder/more expensive time with other services (I think mostly paypal) before that.
Had a little look around for empirical data and came across this, looks like trade wages are about stagnant but this is only over a few years. https://infogram.com/2018-trades-salary-survey-electricians-...
I started TAing last year and moved up to teaching just recently at a coding bootcamp after realizing I really enjoy working with people in that way and that I have some aptitude for it. Really enjoying it, it's part time on top of a dev day job at the moment but I know people who do it full time and make good money.
Lovely to hear you have a position at the intersection of software and civils like this. I am a software dev that switched careers shortly after graduating with a civil & structural degree, always thought I'd be of most value combining the two at some point. There is hope!
Point 4 talks about knowing what everyone is working on, I think just from that a good manager with technical competency can discern underperfomers.
Yeah outlook is doing the same to me, keeps marking migadu emails as spam despite corrections as well as from my newly-setup-on-migadu domain.
Just upgraded to paid though, hoping it'll sort itself out in time.
Angular Material 1 only got its date picker in Oct last year (0.11.2). Oh how we celebrated!
Dell has done some interesting work with ubuntu on developer edition laptops as far as I understand, focused on support and good drivers etc.

From what I can see apple laptops have a longer working life than other higher end laptops, there must be a reason 2010 macbook airs are still selling on ebay for $400+.
Bookmarked this, thanks for taking the time to write it up.
