I expect it will be in ui and integration as the platform builds out further. Then you'll get people who don't want to switch because they don't know how to use other things, like with OSes, phones (android vs iphone, heck even Samsung vs other androids for some folks), office products (why is no one using free Google docs over paid m365), etc.

China wouldn't be able to take Taiwan with the fabs not blown to pieces, and they know that.

It's not a zero sum argument.

Seems like resh (https://github.com/curusarn/resh) plus a directory tab and unlike resh it isn't free. I like the directory history, but that isn't a $40/yr value add over resh for me.

There are so many free players in that space (e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31402095), $40/yr is probably a hard sell.

When I bought my 2015 Mazda 3, there were already articles on how they had found buttons and the dial superior to touchscreen only. They were quick on that and now have a decade more work going into it.

Every few years since then there has been an article like this that another brand "discovered" the same thing.

The arrs are sweet. Plex serves media. Prowlarr maintains a list of torrent sites to use. Radarr for movies, sonarr for tv, and lidarr for music monitor things and auto download, move, rename, etc., and are tied into prowlarr for where to get them. Some examples, every new Minions movie or every new episode of The Witcher or every new album from IVE you can have auto download once available and get moved to the correct Plex library folder with the correct filename, and you can set up metadata requirements like size, bitrate, etc. for those the downloads. Overseerr has a slick ui for discovering media and requesting downloads; you can have it set up to use plex accounts where you or other users logged in with their plex account can request something, and it reaches out to the correct arr for that to do its thing according to the *arr settings for that media.

What's everything is set up, imagine a Netflix where you can also request something not available and get that added in the time it takes to download in the exact resolution, language, subs, etc., that you want with no more than a search and a click.

Working in government, we're seeing a larger amount of folks leave within a few months of hire. I had never heard of that before COVID.

When I started here years ago and not remote except a one day a month telework option, it took weeks to get involved in a project. Everyone is laid back and wants to give time to acclimate and understand the place and the project first. My PM told me basically, "Hey I hired you for algorithm development, but just look around and see what's needed, what's interesting to you, and from there pick what you want to do."

That might sound awesome, and to me now with experience it is the reason why I stay here. However, as a new employee, it made me super neurotic to not have any sort of direct tasking. It felt like I didn't have work and wasn't being assigned any. I think if I had been remote it would have made things even worse; at the time, one of my saving thoughts was I could be there on time and be seen looking around Confluence or reading to learn about the research topic.

I would definitely be interested to hear how folks onboard freshly hired junior devs onto a project or team, how much direct tasking they give, how much time or how they allow for adapting, etc.
