You pretty much ignored hybrid WFH which is palatable to big chunks of members in both your groups.

> I imagine we're gonna live in this two-types-of-employees world forever and ought to get used it.

We won't, it will be hybrid in companies with collaborative work and WFH In others (to save costs + attract people).

Right now, now one can really say that WFH works at scale because going into current WFH there was a lot of momentum. You would need studies for new teams that are entirely WFH to really understand if WFH is good enough or not.

Similar outcome with Ram Disk :). Its one thing to not display custom icons, its another to delay everything because you query for custom icons sequentially instead of displaying temporary ones.
I'm guessing the harness of the paint was the issue - virtually all of them would start to rust from the beltline door trim, presumably because the trim itself managed to wear through the paint.
This makes sense. Zero Covid always seemed like an unsustainable and temporary strategy -- a stopgap until vaccines and effective treatments became widely available.

We have the former and should have the latter soon. Covid is going to be around forever, and even tiny island countries will have to learn how to live with it.
Maybe, as one who has clue, you can explain how a hot-neutron fusion plant could be operated much more cheaply than a fission plant of the same capacity. Because we already know fission gets less competitive each year.

Guessing you can't, as no one else has.

I have a Lenovo E585. The monitors I have don't have Type-C, they have the "Rectangle with one corner cut off" connector, so you use that type of cable. I don't believe that setup is designed for charging at all.

If they haven't done it yet, I expect to someone see a monitor with a built-in hub AND Type-C connectivity. They will be returned by the hundreds as people plug their keyboards and flash drives into the video socket and wonder why nothing comes up.

Hi everyone, author here.

This was originally an extension for Visual Studio Code to preview React components directly in your IDE (that's still available too, as well as for IntelliJ now).

I've since gotten feedback that it's a useful alternative to Storybook, which people often find frustratingly slow, so I decided to build a CLI version as well.

React Preview is not yet open source (I'll probably end up switching to an open core model at some point) but it's based on ViteJS (which is significantly faster than webpack). It also uses the TypeScript Compiler API to resolve types and automatically generate valid props, so you don't need to configure custom stories like you would with Storybook (although that's supported too).

You can also check out the detailed docs at https://reactpreview.com

Please let me know what you think, any feedback is a gift!
This is a bit hurtful, especially considering that I address this right in my comment:

> If you have family in India you can just not block the country and that should be good enough for everyone? Of course my solution that I came up in 5 minutes is probably not the one we'd actually want to implement, but this has been an issue for probably half a century at this point, I'd hope this is enough time to find one decent mitigation implementation.

But to rephrase, my point is not about India or any country it's about how a basic linear classifier could probably detect most robocalls because *I* don't get calls from India so it's very unlikely that the call is legitimate.

This is in many ways the same argument that ISPs used during
the net neutrality debates as to why Netflix should have to
pay them extra money.

The parallels are there for sure. I would agree that gatekeeping is bad, and I often don't like how Apple behaves as gatekeeper.

But there are massive key differences as well. Many ISPs have a local monopoly over broadband access. Many people have only a single choice for a broadband ISP and this can't be changed unless they move to a new address.

By contrast, Apple doesn't even have a majority share of the mobile device market, much less a monopoly. Even if Apple booted Netflix out of the App Store tomorrow (or if Netflix packed up their bags and left) there are still myriad ways one could access Netflix.

The same would not remotely be true if one's ISP blocked Netflix or demanded extra money to use it. Many people have no ISP alternative, and may be locked into contracts. You are under no such contract with Apple. You can switch to another device tomorrow, or use literally dozens of competing operating systems and platforms at the same time.

Apple benefits heavily from Netflix being on their
platform, they would lose a lot of customers if
every content provider decided to leave iOS tomorrow

Absolutely, sure. I asserted that Netflix derives massive value from Apple's platform and payment system. I didn't assert that it was a one-way street. Apple benefits as well, no doubt.

It's very difficult to argue that Apple has invested in
best-of-class hardware for Netflix's sake.

Nobody's arguing that.

The same could be said of AWS. Amazon didn't create it solely for Netflix's sake. But more importantly: huh?

We all know that it's the other way around.

Again, what does it matter whether or not apps are 1st or 729th on Apple's list of priorities? The question is whether or not Netflix derives value from their relationship with Apple, or not.

Jobs didn't originally want an App Store, yeah, but that was 14+ years ago. Apps downloaded from the App Store are clearly the primary use case for iPhones/iPads in 2021. Apple has invested massively in their app store, payment system, SDKs, XCode, etc. But at any rate, I fail to see how this is even relevant to the question of whether or not Netflix derives value from their relationship with Apple.
> It's a bit like the police asking the library who checked out a specific book.

After the patriot act was passed enabling the government to seek this kind of information my local library changed their records policy to not retain information on who checked out books after they were returned (or at least only for a strictly limited time after), as well as a host of other pieces of data-minimization. My library also put up signs explaining how to use the library most privately (e.g. that if you visit and read books on-site no one will ever collect your name or other personal information).

I understand many other libraries did as well and that the ALA promoted such changes.

Access to your library history is a violation of your mental privacy. Imagine you found yourself questioning your sexuality, -- you might check out books on the subject. A few years later a repressive regime could come into power and you might find our that your inquisitiveness a few years back placed you under enhanced scrutiny.

Because the access to search is even more casual the invasion is even more severe. And unlike your local library Google is MUCH less likely to consider your personal freedom a big priority.

I make a point to give local times in just "PT". Not least among my reasons is that I can't ever remember which half of the year is Daylight time and which is Standard.
Hi, lead author here. As oddity mentions, this paper references CUDA and C++ AMP (which both support C++ lambdas as well) as examples of unified programming models for GPU compute as contrasts to the non-unified programming models available for real-time graphics. SYCL is another interesting example in the GPU compute space, but as far as I am aware, it (like the others) does not include any new features that would provide adequate support for the crucial shader specialization optimization.

Adding C++ lambda support to shader programming would certainly be beneficial, but I don't think it, alone, would provide the modularity, composition, and GPU code specialization features necessary for an effective shader programming model.

That said, I am not an expert in SYCL, so if you have some ideas about how SYCL could meet our design goals, I would appreciate further feedback!
Are we talking the company or the user base here?
I definitely call a lot. Whether it's talking to friends, relatives, or dealing with appointments (doctors, car, etc.) there's lots of calls all the time. I travel a fair bit and often find calling is the only way to get airlines to fix certain problems.

I tend to screen by area code. My cell is from a place where everyone I'd want to talk to is in my contacts list. So only calls local to where I live I actually answer. Also if it's urgent people leave a voicemail or call again.

Wow. So, people like you actually do exist. This is both scary and sad.

I think you might be mixing up two features here. One is deleting a message from your own inbox (this part about your email example makes sense).

The other is deleting a message that was sent to someone else from _their_ inbox. Which email does not allow you to do.

Except some clever people tried to implement this (notably Outlook and/or Microsoft Exchange has such a feature IIRC) where it sends another email to "recall" the earlier message. It's funny when you receive those recall messages in a non-Microsoft email client and on a different server than the Exchange sever they're using. I.e. you just ignore their request to recall and now you _really_ go read the message they're trying to recall, because it makes it _more_ interesting. Also googling this quickly it seems even if you stay completely within the Microsoft ecosystem it only works if the recipients didn't open the original email yet:

With message recall, a message that you sent is retrieved from the mailboxes of the recipients who haven’t yet opened it.

Sounds like this person is swallowing and licking up whatever corporate gives them. But as many have or will find out, companies don't love you like that. Lifetime employment at the same company is just about dead too.

When that pay raise doesn't happen, when cuts to the staff come down, when that other or junior person get's chosen or promoted over you, when your job get's outsourced, etc... It's about their profits, not you.

Somehow this person has got themselves so twisted up in the corporate game, they don't know the difference between "hermit programmer" and "bad programmer".

Below is a list of traits of bad programmers. Saying that only an independent or hermit will do one or more is to be blind to reality:

1) they don’t plan
2) never know if they are going to finish a task
3) they don’t document
4) their code is not reusable
5) they don’t test
6) code they write is full of bugs
7) they don’t refactor
8) the software cannot evolve
9) they don’t have good communication skills
10) they don’t diversify their skills
11) powerful AI will take over their workplaces

As for AI, corporate is more likely to use such to eliminate jobs internally, to save themselves a few bucks. In addition, corporate environments and teams don't produce bug-free code and management can lead a project "off a cliff" to where it fails. Just because a team of people think they are doing the right things, doesn't mean they actually are nor is there any guarantee of success. Doing things by committee can also be a source of vicious arguments, resentment, and project stagnation. Every team isn't effective or efficient, so can depend on the situation.

Bad programmers can exist in corporate environments and teams too, because they are able to abuse the power of their position or fool management for a while or prior to them jumping ship unexpectedly to another company.
> And now that we've got real numbers on natural immunity that beat vaccination (alone) numbers

You know what gives far superior protection than natural immunity gained via infection? Getting vaccinated after having been infected. You're more than twice as likely to be re-infected if you've had COVID once and don't get vaccinated vs. having COVID and then getting vaccinated[1]. So even if you've had COVID, if you take the free, extremely safe vaccine you are now less than half as likely to be re-infected, which likely means you're much less likely to spread it to someone else.

> Then vaccinated workers at a hospital could very well be worse, because they'd be transmitting the virus and infecting patients, while being less likely to have symptoms making them aware that they're likely infected and causing harm.

This is something that anti-vax people seem to like to bring up as a possibility with no data to back it up. The data we actually do have[2], by directly measuring the secondary attack rate ("chance that an infected person infects another person") actually shows that vaccinated people are less likely to infect others.

My assumption your approach is far more wasteful at a cost of getting top notch performance. Nothing about the bleeding edge is ecological.
It’s not just "social media junkies", a very pretentious phrase to use considering you’re writing it in a comment on a social network. Hundreds of thousands of apps use Facebook APIs, often in the background too (including FB's own apps).
Apple is a good singular example with huge market cap. You are right, its not just Apple - all huge non Chinese/Korean car makers would be sol for couple of years, cant even retool to less electronics due to EPA/Euro standards.

Samsung owns cutting edge fabs and is pretty self reliant. China has SMIC.
> Apps downloaded from the App Store are clearly the primary use case for iPhones/iPads in 2021.

My general sense is that most people prefer not to install apps: I know many people that look askance at websites that attempt to funnel them to an app and generally only isntall 1-5 apps beside the default set from Apple.
Engagement and Profit: Fueling emotionally triggering content on social media
My landline phone has a very loud ring, non-adjustable. If I’m sitting near it, it is quite annoying. I frequently get calls when I’m asleep. I also get them in the middle of work video calls and since the ringing won’t stop, I have to pick them up. I get dozens a day, every day. I have reached a tipping point where I actual feel as though I’m being tortured. I seriously wish the phone companies would be held to account to fix this problem. I suspect the vast majority of phone calls to be illegal telemarketing calls which should revoke the telecoms common carrier status. They should not be allowed to profit from massive illegality.
Cloud storage is kinda cheaper if you look at iPhones
Ah yes, the best way to bury a moral scandal of the kind that usually gets forgotten in a week is to undermine the trust of almost every single user worldwide. This is a very good conspiracy.
I led engineering for a product in a similar position. Short answer is that it's about who owns the consumer. When you relinquish control of the browse experience, you lose the ability to control where your users go.

For example, say Netflix allowed access and their customers got used to going to the TV app instead of the Netflix app, then Apple over time decides to feature Netflix content less and less over their own offerings or deprioritizing Netflix content in search results. They could slowly bleed Netflix's customers away. They'd also have detailed data on what Netflix content users watched.

In general, I'm with Netflix on this one considering how many businesses Apple has screwed over throughout the years when they choose to compete directly.
