Hi Peter, thank you for doing this AMA. I am on H1B and I recently lost my job. I only have about 50 days left to get a new job but I have a spouse who is on his own H1B. I wanted to see and find out legal and smooth options to buy more time for myself to find a new job - If anything, it would be those options that do not need me to leave the country and get stamping, if at all. My country of citizenship is India, by the way. If you can help us out, it would be really great. Thank you.
Yeah I've seen this problem for years as well. To block it, there wasn't much of a direct solution besides using a custom filter that matches on the text inside the element.
"I'm guessing you haven't ever laid hands upon or used a MBP"
Nope, my work forces macbook pros upon all of us and I've been using one with an Intel CPU for years. I don't like it because it's constantly going off (the fans always spinning), and gets insanely hot. It also slows down a good deal for anything intensive. I never liked it really.
I don't like Mac OsX all that much either and felt they have a weird ux,but that's not a deal breaker though.
More than anything the fact that wsl performance on windows is close to bare metal seems to entice me a bit
Well, I rather meant the screen quality, keyboard and build quality etc.
I'm aware that there is no other CPU that offers the same performance per watt as the M1 does, but it looks like the latest Ryzen and The Intel Evo CPUs have come a long way.
AFAIK they're far more sustainable since they need nowhere near the amount of land, water, resources and food as the animals in the dairy and meat industries do. This, and further minus all the torture, suffering and force-feeding
It's somehow a huge bump in price here in the US, especially after considering that there are great deals on the "Open-Box" 16GB Macbook Pro. Looking at the 32GB, it's at least 500-600 bucks more :/
Thanks!
>>> I've definitely repeatably measured consistent performance penalties for Windows over other OSes on the same hardware
Not sure about the deal here though, I have a really high-grade Macbook Pro at work and it is always, always constantly noisy and heating up with something as simple as compiling a medium-sized Java project.
Thank you. Really well written and appreciate the insight. Regarding m1 macs, I see that people seem to be doing a lot of housekeeping trying to tie things together back again.
Since the arm CPU is still new to a lot of apps/tooling, people are not left with much, other than some workarounds and hacks that will serve as a stop-gap solution for a lot of things.
I'm worried about this as well and wondering how much is this has been true in your case! Thanks!
