Just an FYI - Your QA and Typescript links are swapped!

Nah. Offshoring has been a thing since I started working in 2003. There are always cycles. When offshore projects fail, work comes back.

The difference now is many companies have offices offshore with their own management. This isn’t the old offshore consulting to save a few bucks now. This is company employees who just cost a lot less. Once AI becomes more mature this will accelerate rapidly. Companies are going to do whatever they can to reduce labor costs. Always have.

It's not just offshoring now though. It's offshoring plus hundreds of thousands of H-1b holders being brought onshore. Entire departments at major tech companies in US offices are populated by foreign labor. As far as I'm aware that's unprecedented, and it's very different from the offshoring cycle.

I wouldn't say it's unprecedented, since I first heard about a call center in Texas that was over 90% foreign labor several years ago. But it's certainly gotten worse.

I suspect that some companies/policymakers may be trying to flood the market, so to speak, in case importing them gets harder in the future or a bunch get sent home.

We have had the X10 Pro Omni for a bit over a year now and we have been enjoying it. A mix of hardwood/carpet. I have it mop 3 times a week and vacuum alternate days. The mopping has been good. I change out the mop pads and blow out the filter once a week. The vacuum is OK, nothing compared to an upright, but it keeps dog hair manageable. If we only wanted vacuuming, I would have probably chosen a different brand.

Just curious, what issues have you had?

I still won't buy anything X10 because their creation/abuse of popover/under ads in the late 90's.

> Right now, Windows gets a lot of attention because it’s everywhere.

I disagree with this take. Linux dominates in the server market.

Yeah... but mostly external services.

Meanwhile, Windows is running the crown jewels for operations inside the company, like SharePoint and Active Directory.

To be fair, the front page news section doesn't even have a date next to the 7.81 release entry. I clicked it to see if there was a date, but at first glance the page just looked like a time capsule. The title of this post doesn't even mention the release.

Fair point. The link of this post should be updated to the news page.

They publish plotly.js and react bindings as well.

I recently had the opposite experience. App was built in older version of React/MUI/CRA/tsc (project started in 2020). I upgraded everything to latest, removed CRA for vite, and it just worked for the most part (vite has some docs for upgrading from CRA). MUI had a few things deprecated, but it didn't break. Removed the yarn lock and switched everything over to vanilla npm now that it has package locks. Took < 1 hour.

I wonder what this codebase will look like after a year or so of doing this.

Bugs will escalate from syntax errors to business logic errors ("one customer was charged twice"). There won't be anything to copy/paste, no AI will be able to fix these errors and no human will touch this codebase with a long pole.

Have you seen the job market at the moment? Humans will do a lot of things to keep a roof over their heads.

We bought a few in 2018/2019 that are holding up fine. They get more use than our expensive Samsung TV!

Which Eufy? We got a Eufy X10 Pro that mops/vacuums back in June. We love it. We have an older roomba for a different floor/level, and that thing is always getting stuck on something.

Just a quick note on my comment. We have mostly hardwood floors, so the mopping is really nice. The vacuuming is OK, def not the best. I can see if someone had mostly carpet they would be disappointed with it.
