CD ripping. Initial audio pass in an older version of EAC, which hands off to the scripts. Those validate the audio against the AccurateRip + CUETools databases and file the rip appropriately if there's a failure (e.g. "might be a different pressing" vs. "few enough bad samples to be repairable" vs. "completely aborted the rip", etc.). Then a second pass on the disc to extract subcode data and embed any TOC/subcode differences as comments in the cuesheet. Then, based on that, automatically generate a de-emphasized version for discs with the PRE flag set anywhere, then extract additional metadata (full release date, disc number, featured artists) from the title data I manually entered in EAC, compress to FLAC, embed the cuesheet, transcode .m4a copies, and file.

Automatically adding sort-artist fields to the cuesheet/.m4a files is next (I have a good source in the software that I use for cataloging the collection). I also need to write something that backports changes made to the tags in the .m4a files to the original cuesheet...

Not sure if this qualifies, but I was unimpressed by my bank USAA's transaction visualization efforts. I wanted to see a line graph of my account's withdrawals and deposits. Luckily they have an 'export to CSV' button for a specific time period of transactions, and I wrote a small program to turn these CSVs into graphs using Python's `matplotlib`: https://github.com/nicolashahn/USAA-Transaction-Graph
MARTA has neither the coverage or the competence to qualify as 'decent'.

Compared to New York, Chicago, DC, Boston, or SF sure. Assuming Amazon isn't going to expand to a more expensive city, the only competing subway system is in Philadelphia. MARTA is unpopular, but cleaning it up and buying new trains is cheap compared to digging new tunnels through an existing city. No one points out that the Gulch site is currently a wasteland because we all know that if Amazon shows up, it won't be.

This is sad. Not that they accept girls, but that the Girl Scouts apparently suck so much at understanding their audience.

> Multitude of reasons but the biggest one would be that you can still work with others line of sight in the real world with AR, whereas everyone needs to be in VR to.

Not with the right tech.

If you had a few depth-sensing cameras plopped around - cameras which could image both the actual images and depth information, in theory you could use that info to build on-the-fly 3D models of your surroundings (including people) and merge them into the world being viewed in a person's HMD.

All the tech currently exists; cheap Kinects or Sony VR cameras could work for this, for instance - but there also exist better, if much more expensive, options as well.

AR has its purposes, but there isn't anything you can do with AR that you can't do with VR - where the inverse is demonstrably false (for instance, AR glasses which use see-thru technology cannot show "black" as a color; physics doesn't allow for it). While you can/could add a shield to turn AR goggles into a VR experience, unless those AR goggles have a huge field of view, you'll have a fairly underwhelming experience (I have yet to see any AR display device outside of lab conditions that can give as wide of FOV as current low-cost VR HMDs - this has always been the case since the 90s IO-Glasses and similar offerings).
I like voice better of course but what I didn't mention is that the cost per minute if I call her is $0.60 and that quickly adds up and she doesn't have internet over there, so if a text costs me $0.003 I might as well be using it

Well, I oversimplified a bit. The "tarball" (WARC or ARC file) is a single large file with individually compressed HTTP response objects concatenated together. The index stores the byte offset and length (compressed) into this file, so an HTTP/1.1 range request can pull only the data needed. So in theory it's efficient. I don't work on that team directly and haven't looked in to exactly what the performance latency bottleneck is, sorry for the misleading response.

There's also the fact that if you can't afford to bulk buy a few extra rolls of TP, you sure as hell can't afford a quarter of a kitchen.

People seem to forget when they talk of the poor: "If only they invested in X, Y, or Z". The whole point of someone struggling financially is that they CANNOT invest, because they have zero, and often negative "extra" money. "Paycheck to paycheck" is not a euphemism, it's a literal situation. Even one missed hour of pay is devastating to these people.

It's pre-digital horizon, but I'd be curious if there was significant rejection of early color film technology due to its (I'm guessing) inferiority to a mature black and white process.

From memory, I believe early film with sound did have this issue. Although as caused by direction problems as technical ones.

A very important aspect to consider here is that a roman road did not have 100 000+ multi-ton vehicles traveling on them per day. The reason roman roads lasted long is that the load on a road with only manual labor traffic is a thousand times less than that of a modern highway.

Old roads in Europe that are subject to truck and car traffic crumble very quickly unless meticulously maintained.

At a motorcycle club party, one of the people there revealed that he was a motorcycle mechanic. Big mistake.

I like solving puzzles so I'm quite happy to fix computers for free for friends, family and my neighbour who is chronically ill. I also volunteer at our local community computer centre.

I did draw the line at fixing them for free for one of the centre's customers. Both he and his wife are working, they have two cars and own their own home so, after spending two four hour sessions at their home, I directed him to one of the commercial home-visiting operations. He has younger-onset dementia so teaching him to use a computer was challenging. He'd forget half of what I showed him and get the other half wrong.
Well several items on his list is incorrect so I don't believe he has tried it that much tbh :)
Yep, I don't deny that your points are currently true.

I'm trying to say that a more rational system would put efficient, inexpensive apartment buildings where they would be cheaper, and more accurately ascribe higher costs to inefficient, expensive suburban single-family homes.

It's because the system is stupid and ineffective that apartments are in premium locations and suburban housing is artificially cheap. This ineffectiveness results in arguments like the parent article where people propose that the artificially cheap suburbs should be propped up by 'merging' with the wealthier and more efficient city who would be able to afford their poor choices.
VR systems today are not used regularly by most people who own them, including even most people I know developing VR full time. Price point and being untethered doesn't change that.

I'd guess the biggest hurdles are physical discomfort with long term use, and that there isn't yet very compelling VR software.

That depends a little on what you mean by broad.

To me, it feels like the hype around VR is starting to wane.

Right now, the hurdles are price, form factor, and motion sickness. I think last two problems are why broad adoption may never come.

I'm one of the people that can't wear them. The first ones I tried were in 1992 (the pterodactyl game) and after a couple of minutes, I was ready to barf.
If this is what mindfulness could do for me I'm doubtful it's something I need; I think I have found other ways in which much the same is achieved. E.g., I've never found difficulty in disconnecting or disengaging from situations, from the moment, nor difficulty in observing my physiological and psychological responses. I immediately recognize people who are unable to perform such separation; they are too caught up in the moment to be able to observe it.

When you say "I get caught in thinking/fantasy/etc," what exactly are you referring to?

I like thinking, and I think a lot; but of course, I've recognized that some thoughts are useless, some are unproductive, and some are harmful. I've trained myself to get rid of those, and I've also made sure to have room for the thoughts I do want. Not only have I made room, but I have techniques and rules I live by which increases the interval at which these thoughts I do want occur.
If anything, it will be worse.

The point of Oculus Go and Santa Cruz is to be untethered, and, if possible, cheaper than the Rift.

While it is undoubtedly a worthy goal, as anyone who tried a VR headset can tell you, it also means that you are letting go of the hundreds of watts computing power that a compatible PC represents. And without that power, it will be much more difficult to get the required latency, framerate and resolution.

EDIT :
The Oculus Go is actually a little better than the rift : 2560x1440 vs 2160x1200, same FOV and supposedly better optics, so in term of not seeing the pixels, that should be better. The tradeoff is probably less details, maybe with upscaling.

Indeed, it is entirely subjective. I speak only for me and can only share observable trends.

I do see the appeal of urban living and I can find beauty in the structure. What I really appreciate is the combination of aesthetics, tranquility, and privacy.

On the subject of privacy, I am able to be more private in my location than I am if I lived in a city. However, the trade off is anonymity. I can be much more anonymous in an urban area.

Definitions follow:

I can pee on my lawn and nobody will know. If I pee on someone else's lawn, they will know exactly who I am.

I'm not a hermit, I have an active social life and a girlfriend. But, I do enjoy the solitude and tranquility. I also enjoy the furry woodland critters and the lifestyle that I can have here. (I can't really hunt moose in Manhattan and it's doubtful that I'd see one on my lawn.)
Can you please try to communicate in some other way besides asking rhetorical questions, it comes off as rude & elitist. AFAIK most package managers are essentially a .tar with a checksum. Is there some specific toolset or methodology you follow? Eg. how does each project declare which RPMs? How are these RPMs getting created, by hand and one per package? Or one per project, via some kind of tool? I've literally never heard of anyone using rpms for nodeJS dependencies, and I am intrigued.

Let's take an example project with 500 sub-folders under node_modules, are you suggesting I bundle the whole project into an rpm including its dependencies? Because I already have server backups & such, which accomplishes the same thing. Before I spent time making an RPM to backup the project, I could just take container backups or something.

My actual issue is when you have only minified code, or compiled executable -- and your boss wants you to add new features, but you do not have the sources, only a package.json that references projects that have been deleted. Or worse, no package.json -- not much can be done at this point, the onus was on the original author.

Or are you suggesting each dependency gets wrapped into an rpm? Because that sounds time consuming & doesn't seem like it provides any benefit [it'd be just swapping npm for rpm, it sounds like?]. Plus in my parent comment, the example I used, I inherited a project where 10% of the node_modules were simply missing, the project's author built the code, then deleted his node_modules & left the company. I had to derive what the dependencies were by weeding through minified code. Not sure how RPMs help. I'm also not sure how using RPMs helps when you have developers who may be on different distros or mac, now they have to run docker or vagrant to get the frontend deps? ew.

But perhaps I'm not understanding what you're suggesting to do with RPMs, you're not communicating very clearly or nicely IMO. Perhaps linking to an example repo employing your technique or an article that explains it in more detail would be a better way to get your point across. AFAIK, RPM & NPM were made to solve totally different problems. Trying to use NPM to manage linux packages or using RPM to manage javascript packages honestly sounds like a nightmare, going against the grain. RPM was made for linux packages, not frontend web development. I'm trying to keep an open mind but you're not explaining yourself.
> VR without tracked controllers is almost a different category

This is an important and under-appreciated point. Presence is a combination of many factors, and "hand presence," as Oculus is calling it, is a huge one. I still remember the first time I tried a Vive: I was already familiar with VR from the DK2, but interacting in 3D space gave the whole experience a wholly unfamiliar, almost dream-like sensation.

At this price point, tracked controller support seems unlikely, but perhaps a future Bluetooth lighthouse could enable it. Honestly, I think that should be a priority: if it comes down to more detailed graphics versus tracked controllers, I'll take the controllers every time.
Also, "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" is on-topic here. I'd qualify this as that, especially since the philosophical discussion in a thread further up.

when i was working at fb, i specifically got a s7 as a work phone to use with gear vr to dogfood and i found the phone-insertion experience to be rather annoying. it was so annoying, in fact, that i would just leave my s7 in the gear vr and continued to use my personal phone, an iphone, for everything. the only reason i took it out was to charge it when it died after an hour of use.

i used to be deeply skeptical of the idea of these standalone vr units, but it's good to see oculus exploring it.
Is there actual research that shows that the sleep/eat/exercise approach works by itself for everyone that is compliant? Most of the psychiatric community would absolutely agree that it helps, or couldn't hurt, but (anecdotally) I know athletes that control all of that stuff like a science because they have to in order to compete, but still suffer from depression, so I have trouble believing that's all there is to it.
