> In my 3-hour tests, Safari consumed 18.67% of my battery each time on average, and Chrome averaged 17.33% battery drain. That works out to about 9% less battery drain from Chrome than Safari. Yes, you read that right, I found Chrome was easier on my battery than Safari.
With how much engineering was poured over V8, I don't doubt.
Yep, it's just the reality distortion field.
Apple fanboys can never admit they don't have the best stuff.
In similar veins, they'll say that Windows uses more RAM than macOS. Yet on both an iMac that was bootcamped and a custom-built hackintosh, macOS almost always used more RAM after booting.
Apple makes great hardware but the software is often very mid, its only visually pleasing.
There are basically two flavors of it on ebay. You could opt for free shipping from china, pay substantially less, but wait a month. Or you pay a little more in product cost for free shipping from someone who ordered these goods bulk from china and now ships them out of Van Nuys. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are Canada based sellers like this as well.
> The problem is more likely a lack of prioritization at the leadership level.
Great. If you're in leadership why would you prioritize a feature making it easier for people to leave your platform when you could instead prioritize a new feature that might generate value for the company?
There's no incentive to make Takeout any better than it is today.
> People can absolutely get promoted for improving products, even if those products don't make the company money.
Yeah, but there better be a high-up patron for these products because Google is notoriously stingy with promo.
Source: quit Google right after L3->L4 because another company was willing to offer me an extra $200k/yr and L5. I've since been promoted at THAT job, and am now looking again because they gave me a raise to the bottom of the next band and that's dumb.
Not sure why that was your takeaway. Much more likely that he feels that it's dumb he was promoted and put at the bottom of the band by default, regardless of his performance. How large the raise is shouldn't have any impact on this.
> There’s a limit to how many large raises you can give if you intend to give x% for the rest of time.
The tl;dr for this is that if the company makes getting paid a market rate and promoted internally more difficult than just interviewing, they should expect people to just leave.
I'm really not sure how the economics of this work out. Obviously Google has a much easier time swapping engineers in and out (it's responsible for basically everything that people hate about the company both internally and externally) but there are still specific teams where engineers leaving represents significant knowledge loss.
Hell, companies that DON'T follow the same engineering practices that let Google hotswap engineers still do this and there's no way it doesn't have significant hidden costs for them.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to say it’s actually impossible, but if you are at 200k+ and more likely towards 300k/year given the information, you are already at the top of the market for most positions (that I’m aware of).
If you still expect 200k raises in such a position you are likely in for a bad time (nothing is guaranteed though, you might get lucky).
> are already at the top of the market for most positions (that I’m aware of).
This is not even remotely close to true for high-paying SWE jobs in the Bay, and the part of me that grew up in the middle of nowhere still has a hard time believing it.
Staff engineers make between $500k to $1M a year. My first year at Google I was sat in a row of absurdly high-level engineers, many of whom made even more.
Why are randos allowed to bill you directly if you didn't sign a contract with them? Shouldn't anyone working at the hospital be under contract with that hospital? Why did the hospital share your personal information with those people without your explicit consent?
It still costs them to do this because they have to do the paperwork to handle it, the meetings to decide what to do, the confusion that will come from this, and the opportunity cost of these courses, as well as the bad publicity that will come from this announcement that the group doing this will of course release to social media.
