To be clear, it doesn't support casting, which is what the previous commenter was asking for.

It runs directly on android tv. The app even says that there is no support for phones or tablets so casting isn't going to work.

I also agree that casting is the major missing feature from all these apps. Mirroring might be a substitute for some but, again to be clear, it isn't the same as casting and in most cases the quality is going to suffer significantly.

I've been very underwhelmed by the adaptive cruise control in my car as well. It was one of the features I was looking forward to the most, but in practice now I rarely use it. I'm also located in the pacific northwest, so I don't think highway design has anything to do with my complaints.

I find the braking is far too abrupt. I can see the car in front of me slowing down, but the system will continue accelerating until some magical distance threshold before it begins to brake.

In addition the follow distance doesn't seem to be dynamic relative to my speed. When I increase the follow distance, the car leaves too much distance at lower speeds, but increasing the follow distance causes tail-gating at higher speeds.

In my experience the problem is that when written as you describe them - user stories represent features and are rarely, if ever, granular enough that they represent a "thin vertical slice" of functionality - as scrum likes to call it. I've always felt this was something scrum did a poor job of addressing.

I have found that using user story format for epics or for features, and then further breaking those down into tasks seems to work quite well. Although as far as I'm aware there is no concept of a "task" in scrum. Task seems to be a Jira concept.

Yep, this is what got me hooked as well. I've also played using a PS4 controller using my laptop, and phone. I don't think the PS4 controller would work playing from the Chromecast though.

Stadia, the initial reviews were actually pretty bad, but I'm blown away by how good it is. There's something undeniably cool about playing cyberpunk on a macbook air with full graphical detail, and then switching over to play on my TV exactly where I left off. The latency is virtually imperceptible to me, and I love that I don't need a 50 GB download just to try out a new game. Everytime I use it I'm honestly impressed that it works as well as it does. My only concern now is whether I can trust Google not to eventually kill it, given their recent track record.

I personally love vim, and have found that setting up vim keybindings for my IDE seems like the best of all worlds.

I do appreciate the consistency and speed of plain vim, however I can't fathom trading that for code completion, which in my experience is the biggest missing feature from vim. Even with plugins like YouCompleteMe (which is awesome) the completion quality isn't even close to what you get in a real IDE. I'm honestly curious how people code productively in a professional environment without code completion?
