ReactXP was designed to be a thin, lightweight cross-platform abstraction layer on top of React and React Native. It implements a dozen or so foundational components that can be used to build more complex components. It also implements a collection of API namespaces that are required by most applications.
ReactXP currently supports the following platforms: web (React JS), iOS (React Native), Android (React Native) and Windows UWP (React Native). Windows UWP is still a work in progress, and some components and APIs are not yet complete.
The ReactXP version of Skype runs on Windows 10, iOS, Android and macOS. What about Linux? Well it seems like they support it via web wrapper, like Windows 7 and macOS
ReactXP currently supports the following platforms:
iOS (React Native) Android (React Native) Web (React) Windows 10 â" UWP (React Native) - in progress Other platforms such as Windows 7 & 8, MacOS, and Linux can be targeted using a web wrapper solution like Electron.
So I think the answer is probably "the latter". Though I use Skype on my Windows 7 and macOS machines and it's... OK despite being the web wrapper version. I prefer the old native app, but it does the job.
And if you read the document I linked to they explain why that is not the same thing as having it available from the Play Store on page 13 onwards.
It reminds me a bit of the Chinese Communist Party apologist line that 'well you can access blocked websites via VPN', before the CCP decided to have a crackdown on VPNs. Yeah, you can but not many people do. And websites that need to be accessed via VPN have a competitive disadvantage to ones that you can access without one.
I.e. you don't need to have an absolutely hermetic seal on non approved views in order to give the approved views a competitive advantage. Even a relatively minor asymmetry can cause a feedback effect. E.g. most Internet echo chambers develop like this
1) Side A has a slight numerical advantage of Side B 2) Supporters of Side B are more likely to be downvoted or banned because supporters of Side A apply the rules more strictly to them 3) Supporters of Side B give up on posting 4) Quite quickly Side A has an echo chamber where its views are unchallenged
Anything which can produce the slight advantage in 1) will lead to an echo chamber forming by the feedback in steps 2-4)
Mind you as the document I linked to points out, Google don't really care about promoting social justice and banning hate speech. They really care about stopping the development of a competitive platform to theirs. "Stopping hate speech" is the left wing version of "think of the children". Just like the religious right types in the 80's wanted control and were probably total hypocrites about religion in private, most Googlers are probably not actually living up to the proclaimed principles.
Look at all the male feminist types who've be done for sexual assault for example. It's the modern version of religious right types getting caught with a male prostitute boy and a load of crack cocaine, which used to happen regularly in the 80's and 90's, e.g. Ted Haggard.
If you have an ideology which gives people control over others, a whole load of unscrupulous swine will claim to believe in public even if in private they clearly do not.
They paid the $38 billion so they could bring offshore money back to the US where they intend to create 20,000 jobs. They'll spend $30 billion over five years doing it
Apple Inc. said it will bring hundreds of billions of overseas dollars back to the U.S., pay about $38 billion in taxes on the money and spend tens of billions on domestic jobs, manufacturing and data centers in the coming years.
The iPhone maker plans capital expenditures of $30 billion in the U.S. over five years and will create 20,000 new jobs at existing sites and a new campus it intends to open. The Cupertino, California-based company's shares rose 1.7 percent to a record closing price of $179.10.
and if you look further down the total expenditure is much larger - around $200 billion
Apple has the largest offshore cash reserves of any U.S. company, with about $252 billion at the end of September, the most recently reported fiscal quarter. The tax rate indicates that Apple is likely bringing back a majority of its overseas cash back to the U.S., leaving only a small portion for international investments like retail stores.
"They're going to have well over $200 billion by the end of this year that will be available for incremental investments, capital returns and M&A," said Matthew Kanterman, a New York-based Bloomberg Intelligence analyst. The new tax law lets U.S. companies bring overseas cash reserves back home in one year and pay the resulting tax bill over eight years. "And Apple hasn't historically done big M&A," he said.
Five-Year Spending Plan
The $30 billion in capital expenditures will come as part of $350 billion that Apple expects to spend in the U.S. over the next five years. The 20,000 new jobs include additional Apple employees at its campuses, data centers, and retail stores, but not third-party developers for iPhone and Mac apps, an economy Apple has touted in the past.
Apple said that part of the $30 billion in capital expenditures will go toward a new U.S.-based campus, new data centers and additional supplier investments. The company, which opened a new headquarters in Cupertino last year, said its new U.S. site initially will be focused on employees who provide technical support to Apple product users. The new location, which Apple said it will announce later this year, will be similar to the company's existing campus in Austin, Texas, for supply-chain and technical-support employees.
Can This Tax Proposal Lure Companies and Cash Home?: QuickTake
Apple said it will increase its local manufacturing fund, announced last year, from $1 billion to $5 billion, indicating that it will be sourcing more components for its products domestically. As part of the original fund, Apple invested in Corning Inc. and Finisar Corp., companies that make components for iPhone glass screens and lasers for Face ID and AirPods, respectively.
Now as I have often pointed out Apple is not a charity but a fairly ruthless profit making entity that would slaughter its users and sell their organs if it could do so without causing expensive class action lawsuits that would make such a course of action unprofitable. It is therefore reasonable to think the Apple board expect to make substantially more than the $38 billion it lost in taxes by moving money on shore.
If Apple wanted to leave the money dormant it could leave it offshore. They're obviously bringing the money back to the US because they think they can sweat it more there as the Bloomberg article explains.
90 PER CENT of the NHS continues to run Windows XP machines, two and a half years after Microsoft ditched support for the ageing OS.
It's Citrix who is ringing the alarm bells, having learnt that 90 per cent of NHS Trusts are still running Windows XP PCs. The firm sent Freedom of Information (FoI) requests to 63 NHS Trusts, 42 of which responded.
The data also revealed that 24 Trusts are still not sure when they'll migrate from Windows XP to a newer version of Microsoft's OS. 14 per cent said they would be transitioning to a new operating system by the end of this year, while 29 per cent pledged to make the move sometime next year.
That article was from 08 December 2016. WannaCry hit May 2017 and caused chaos on unpatched systems. XP hadn't been updated since 2014
The Department was warned about the risks of cyber attacks on the NHS a year before WannaCry and although it had work underway it did not formally respond with a written report until July 2017. The Department and Cabinet Office wrote to trusts in 2014, saying it was essential they had "robust plans" to migrate away from old software, such as Windows XP by April 2015. In March and April 2017, NHS Digital had issued critical alerts warning organisations to patch their systems to prevent WannaCry. However, before 12 May 2017, the Department had no formal mechanism for assessing whether local NHS organisations had complied with their advice and guidance and whether they were prepared for a cyber attack.
Apple also paid a one time $38 billion tax bill to bring overseas money back into the country. Where it will employ people and generate profits that are taxed
You're correct. The notion that Shakespeare invented words is baseless and a barefaced lie. We must castigate people who violate fair play by spreading this sanctimonious nonsense, even though they are multitudinous/s
But seriously getting an award for a work of art, science or engineering should not provide legal immunity for other crimes. For example I liked most of Roman Polanski's films and he deserved awards for them. However those awards shouldn't mean he avoids prosecution for what he did to Samantha Geimer. You can be talented in one arena and still be a degenerate criminal.
I.e. there's no way that it's in Apple's interest to charge people $29 for an upgrade when selling software opened up a legal vulnerability where people could claim that since they paid money for it, they could install it on any hardware they wanted.
One of the first things I discovered when I got out of university is that you've got two main archetypes of job
1) Permanent job. Salary is kind of disappointing but you have job security
2) Contract job. Salary is pretty awesome but you've got no job security. If it all goes tits up you're first out of the door
And I also discovered I vastly prefer the latter. Tenure is soul destroying - you basically end up with an Office Space type environment where no one does much work, there are loads of simmering political disputes that everyone pretends to ignore and everyone is chronically unhappy. Meanwhile in the wacky world of contracting if everything is going well you make a load of cash and if there's a roadblock you just get another job. Much less stressful.
That's the difference between Apple and MS. If you have MSDN Universal you can get old versions of Windows.
Admittedly MSDN Universal costs a tonne of cash and you're only supposed to use the old versions for testing.
MS used to provide digital downloads of old versions via Digital River but they killed that service off when 8 came out and people were using it to get 7
Unfortunately Microsoft suffer from Apple envy and have a tendency to copy the things Apple do, usually in a way that makes Windows a less desirable platform.
Perhaps, but I'd defend Apple if they did what I suggested. Silently throttling old phones to deal with the problem that they shut down when it's cold is dishonest. Then again Apple's user base is notoriously non technical. Maybe silent throttling was the right thing to do. Well, until someone reverse engineered what was going on and there was a scandal.
Intel did an ARM on x86 emulator called libhoudini for Atom based Android phones, And Intel treat Apple like a spoiled favourite child, so I'm sure Intel would be willing to share code.
I liked the '97 version. Used to run fine on my netbook. The ribbon versions disrupted my muscle memory and always seemed sluggish on slightly old hardware.
So you're saying Apple are better and have better processors. And the reason we know they have better processors is because the phones die on a cold day, which must be due to them being better. And presumably Apple, as a benevolent God, have throttled old phones to stop this.
This is the computer user equivalent of "He hits me cuz he love me", right?
Yeah, I had to force enable TRIM when I upgraded to an SSD in my 2012 Macbook Pro.
It's also a bit unclear what would happen if I upgraded that machine from Yosemite to High Sierra. HS has a new file system but that is only supported on Apple SSDs. Does that mean my third party SSD stays on HFS+?
This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer."
This is on a 2012 Macbook Pro running Yosemite. If you read the blurb it says it's for users of Snow Leopard or Lion who want to upgrade to High Sierra - they need to install El Capitan first and then upgrade that.
However they don't want me upgrading to it - they want me to go straight to HS.
I'm sure I could get El Capitan, but not necessarily legally.
I use it to read and modify.doc and.xls files on macOS and Windows. And it's... OK. If you have an i5/i7, lots of Ram and and SSD it's actually pretty quick.
Besides it's not like MS Office is particularly lightweight these days. In fact it hasn't been for a decade or more.
Ram is soldered in all the portable machines Apple sell. It's true the iMac Pro has socketed memory but as you point out you need to disassemble the machine to get to it. And the GPU, which is probably the component PC users upgrade most frequently is soldered.
The CPU and SSDs are upgradeable, assuming you can disassemble the machine and don't mind voiding the warranty but the SSDs are proprietary and even the CPU is apparently a custom device Intel made for Apple.
Apple is using standard 288-pin DDR4 ECC RAM sticks with standard chips, which iFixit was able to upgrade using its own $2,000 RAM upgrade kit. A CPU upgrade is "theoretically possible," but because Apple uses a custom-made Intel chip, it's not clear if an upgrade is actually feasible. The same goes for the SSDs -- they're modular and removable, but custom made by Apple. Unlike the CPU, the GPU is BGA-soldered into place and cannot be removed.
Funny how other phone manufacturers don't seem to have the "phone shuts down when it is cold" bug that Apple had and was the excuse to throttle old devices.
Also funny Apple didn't just have a message saying "Your battery is worn out. Please visit an Apple store for a repair. In the meantime you may see lower performance".
Or they could backport fixes to older OSs and not force people to either upgrade to a new major release to get bug fixes.
E.g. if you want to get a Meltdown fix and you're on 10.10 Yosemite you need to upgrade to High Sierra 10.13.3. Well if you're on El Capitan there's a fix, but Apple won't let you download El Capitan to install it on current machines, only High Sierra.
Meanwhile Microsoft patched Windows 7 - they didn't force you to upgrade to 8 or 10.
Of course in terms of work saying "Upgrade to the latest version, find the performance sucks and then buy new hardware of be insecure" is easier than back porting. More lucrative too.
