Can you run doom on it?

I agree. The opposite seems to be happening. This trend has been a while and this article is REALLY late

With the current trend of no child left behind style of policy, we might start to break the community to reduce the privilege /s

Seems that I'm in the opposite. If I don't get enough sleep I would have noticeable bad mood.

Yep. The money crashed. But the technology never stopped

If their approach is to buy a few notable games occasionally like resident evil, not sure how long that would last. I actually would like Apple to just extend their support of IOS games to let them run seamless on Mac. There are both freemium and premium games on IOS. Just throw in some control api support and let the user install them on Mac. But Apple doesn't even bother with this low hanging fruit

> Steam generally supports macOS, Valve spends a lot of time on the platform so I think you're dead wrong there. The titles that thrive on it target its rich audience.

Steam does run on Mac but the client and the game library are 2 different things. Not sure if you noticed the shrinking library and Apple's attitude towards the Mac games. They don't care about it. 0 support for 32bit games migration, unconventional api support (compare the usual d3d/vulkan land). Unlike ios, Mac does not have a hold on the game market

Tu-Th is my team's arrangement. The only requirement is 3days rto so not all teams are the same

I understand why 3 days is needed for certain positions. Even for ICs there are senior techleads who have less coding requirement but more design and pm requirements and they need to juggle projects with multiple groups and the same time. For them frequent communication with large groups of people is probably more efficient when it's done in person

Remote work from pandemic period is a totally different story. The companies are forced to let people to work remotely because of the covid, not they really want to go fully remote.

My original post was about typical 3 days(hybrid) vs Amazon's 5 days(fully onsite). My stand is that hybrid is fine for certain people and positions if the people think that it's worth it. If you don't like it, that's fine. I never said you have to take non remote positions. I was only commenting on the Amazon's fully onsite issue anyway

Yes. As I said in my previous post, remote workers are not required to rto. RTO only applies to non remote workers. Actually remote visits are limited because the offices are kinda full now.

Or are you talking about let everyone going remote? That's transitioning into a fully remote company which is not happening

2 days would definitely be better for the devs. That's how it works for lots of us even before mandate. So the significant change for lots of the ppl was from 2 days to 3 days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. That's the cost of staying in the company I guess

What you are requesting is the fully remote company, that's a totally different story. I don't see which faang company is transitioning into that. With the faang pay you can choose to stay in sf, or move to other offices, or going remote, or leave for fully remote companies.

The policy is that Remote workers are still remote. Only non remote workers are required return to office.

As a follow faang+er I totally understand the need for rto. Im perfectly fine with 3 days rto like my company and many others adopted which is perfect medium for everyone. In my team we get 3 days intense meetings done from Tuesday to Thursday. The devs have at least 2 days alone times for shipping the code. The company sold the buildings and the remaining building utilization is very high therefore the cost saving is also there. Everyone is happy in the end.

The question is what's the reason to increase from 3 days to 5 days? My guess is that unlike other tech companies, Amazon has high offline presence especially with a global logistic network. They are pressured by the local governments and other parties that if they don't mandate 5 days rto to prop up the cities, they are gonna lose many benefits or deals. So it's probably cheaper for Amazon choose 5 days rto instead.

The title should be changed to the Feds asked a company in China to spy on American citizens

The problem is that let's say we go the 'burn it all down and start over' route, and humanity redevelops and reach this situation again, then what?

I think in a documentary a guy named Thanos tried this before /jk

Damn, if IntelliJ is getting slower than Eclipse that's a big red flag. I don't use IntelliJ nowadays but 10 years ago IntelliJ was a vastly better and faster product. Wth is happening in Jetbrain?

Netflix TC is mostly cash and at the high end of the tier of the market.

Exactly. When moral is low and the money is not good, the good ones will jump ship first. The company would need try really hard to retain the talents

We are not back in the trade war. We always IN the trade war. Look up how many things are banned in China while their companies like Tencent/Tiktok/ Aliexpress/Temu just do whatever they want here.

The question has and will always been, so what are you gonna do about it?

Sucralose is another a widely used option. Cokecola uses aspartame, pepsicola uses sucralose. You can also easily buy it off the shelf

I agree. The tooling is not as good as Google's(expected, Google's internal ides are incredible). But it's definitely better than the rest

This doesn't work for me or probably some other ppl. My brain's attention would be dragged to the consequences and still won't do the work.

What I find useful is the vomit writing technique. I will just drag myself to get started no matter how horrible the work I am doing in the beginning. But once I started doing, I won't feel so bad. This basically solved my problem.

I just need to start doing and do a shit job, then improve it to be less shitty.

And this is how Uber somehow is taking the upper hand while Lyft is in a downward trend. Nobody was expecting this a few years ago during the boycott Uber scandal.

Food delivery is way more lucrative than taxi business

> take away home ownership from people

The home ownership still belong to the people. It's just that some people are more people than others

This is actually a win if u could actually do that against apple lockdown and their stance against porn

Are you sure about that? Have you actually talked to the students about the cost of everything right now? Especially the housing stats is such an easy stats to game on. They usually mean the family unit who owns the place they live in, so if a student who lives with his parents, the whole family would be considered as home owner.

Btw Im not a student and I lucked out in the tech. I just feel sorry for the current kids

I mean in the context of this post, paying for textbook is an afterthought(i.e. pivacy)

Besides bleak job market, horrible healthcare, being potential homeless due to skyhigh housing cost, stark contrast to the boomer's easy life, the more extreme weathers and the climate change, textbook is probably an afterthought. It's not even in top 10 things to worry about

Can't disagree with the physics god
