I've run these systems.

In any case, airplanes are like 0.001% of the cases where network connectivity is bad, so websites should really try harder to fail better when network conditions aren't perfect.

Was the Gmail basic view any better? https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15049?hl=en

I'll let you know as soon as the support site loads its web fonts

They may be simultaneous connections but you make it sound like a server farm. They are "periodic" demands for upload or download. Maybe 30% of 300 seats are connected, for 90 connections. 10% hit the return key at the same moment, for 9 hits to the uplink at any instance.

They allow YouTube now, so that's not necessarily the traffic pattern anymore.

But my point was that unless you actually have experience running these systems I don't think it's fair to criticize them.

I hear you, but I wonder if you don't have it backwards. 2020 is the year and airlines WiFi is like 1995 dialup? Something is wrong and I think it may be in the sky.

I don't think that's fair to say until you've personally had to maintain a wifi network that supports 300 simultaneous connections where the only uplink is an unstable satellite or cellular connection.

That’s a shame, I once had Gmail be the only way I could access a file to print on a really old computer because of its legacy support.

I know! It used to be so good! Ever since the new UI it's just gone straight downhill.

I love when you're investigating a bug and the question "why is this broken!?" turns into "why did this ever work?!?"

Been there more times than I'd care to admit 😂

I wanted to take some notes on the airplane so I pulled up Notion but it wouldn’t load because of lack of internet. This stuff kills me, it’s not acceptable

I really like @NotionHQ but it logs me out of the desktop and iOS apps far too often and then won't work until I get internet again and it's really just unfortunate.

Amazing how well that 13-year old take has held up 😍. Not only does offline matter even less now than it did, the technology to do it is finally almost trivial (service workers). Glad we never wasted time on attempting it before that!

If the tech is trivial, why do so many apps fail to do it properly?

Twitter plz help. Someone took a GIF of Leslie Neilson fighting people in an airport and labeled the people with stuff like "subscribe to our newsletter" and "review our cookie policy" and it was the best thing ever and I can't find it again.

I remember this gif but I have no way of finding it again lol!

Ok, I'd like to have one of those stickers :-) - hope to see you at Oktane.

Quick question, what has been updated in the Feb 2020 version of the Oauth 2.0 book? Is it worth getting over the 2017 version I have? Thanks

It's mostly the same content, fixed typos and things, and I brought it up to date with the latest security recommendations from the OAuth group. If you're at Oktane stop by the developer hub and I'll give you a copy!

Sweet, you can configure #Gitea 1.11.0 to allow creating repositories simply by pushing to a new repository URL, no UI required. https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#repository-repository

That's a neat trick!

Has anyone experimented with floor-to-ceiling monitors (or anything similar) so your computing environment expands to fill the space around you?

I want ambient access to my calendar, roadmap, todos, etc. Instead of minimizing a tab, I want to be able to throw it on the wall

I want this too, but every time I use a computer with even just two external monitors attached I cry a little inside because they really just can't handle it right now.

@aaronpk I'm very interested to see that whole shirt. Where'd you get it?

It's one of the @oktadev shirts! We give them out at conferences!
