Mostly interested in how to design systems from first principles. For what I can find online the second edition have more emphasis on cloud and third party services as oppose to actually building systems end to end.

Looks like the second edition is less useful than the first? If you're building these "cloud services" (a.k.a the real distributed systems) should you go and read the first edition instead? Is this new second edition a "how to put together services into a coherent system" as opposed to "how to build the systems themselves from first principles"? I'm I missing something?

Is buying a Kitchen appliance package (refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and microwave) from Costco worth it or are there better places?

Would induction be a better buy than electric? How's reliability on induction? Does it lasts?

Seeing several brands that offer the entire kitchen package but not sure what to buy. Some friends have said that, whatever you do, never buy LG or Samsung for whatever reason!

There have been many people complaining that the PGTK build is bad. For some time now I've been on the Lucid build and it have been great, but decided to try again the PGTK build on Fedora KDE (Wayland) and... yeah, it is bad!

Initially I had crashes due to pixel-scroll-precision-mode, disabled that and it is not crashing anymore but still, it just feels slow and bloated! I haven't done any benchmarks or anything this is just a feeling and I would like to know other people opinion on it.

Another super annoying thing is that corfu popups sometimes just stay on screen until you trigger completion again!

Like, why not go to GTK4? Is anybody actually working on the PGTK build? Is it the recommended Wayland build today? What about when using Emacs daemon? Is Lucid just better if you only care about speed and resilience and not about bells and whistles?

Hello,

We recently got the 2026 CRV Sport Touring Hybrid and, while loving it, the MPG is not great. We don't drive much but with the little driving we've done we average 35 MPG which is not bad but not great either for a Hybrid.

I know there's a "B" driving mode that will effectively start re-charging the battery as soon as you step from the gas, my question is, since the car is stopping when driving in "B" mode, will the car also engage the break lights?

Other than "B" mode driving, what else can we do for better MPG? Econ doesn't seem to do much and it takes a hit on the AC which here in Florida is a requirement.

I'm using Emacs more and more for all my needs these days. One thing I need to do on a daily basis is connect to production servers and read logs, before I was using a terminal and grepping my way through those but now I just fire tramp and navigate (dired) to the given log I need to analyze which works great, except on big files!

Big meaning on the MBs, some times even more. Is the best approach for this to launch a vterm buffer through Tramp and just keep grepping my way on this files or is there a way to open big files in Emacs, maybe in batches, to analyze them? What are people that need to look at possible big log files on remote servers doing when using Emacs?
