I bought an Occulus Rift and returned it because I kept loosing tracking. Occulus support told me that that my setup wasn't supported (TB3 Laptop with an eGPU). I am looking forward to the Quest, which supossedly is going to be higher res than the Rift and use tracking on the headset.

The janky hardware and wires hanging off all over the place is one problem, the second is the quality of the games. Judging by what I played, there just isn't a lot of depth. A less expensive headset means more users and a larger market for VR games. This will lead to more in-depth gaming experiences.

I cannot say whether your theory is correct or not, but your theory resonates with something director Hayao Miyazaki said[1]: that the Japanese animation industry is suffering because the staff of a modern studio is full of people who grew up watching anime rather than looking at real people.

Just watched this, thanks. My summary:

1) Staff turnover roughly around season 8 caused the writing to change. Jokes got simpler, not as much about the characters' invariants (for lack of a better term).

2) The show was originally successful because it parodied the sitcom era of the mid 1980s. That changed so the context disappeared.

Huh. That is very surprising to me, but I stand very corrected.

I would consider it to be pretty bad practice to treat query params this way, extra query params should be ignored. However, web standards are descriptive, not prescriptive. If enough sites have strict requirements about the number of query params, then it doesn't really matter what good practice is, and Facebook should accommodate this by moving back to cookies or at least make it opt-in or something.

I would argue that all religious tax-dodges are scams if you're an atheist. My businesses and lack of faith don't get a free-ride, but I have to subsidize that of somebody else's?

By this logic, it's a cool business hack to run a megachurch and buy your own 737 without paying taxes, not a scam?
I think container orchestration offerings are pretty much at the pricing model you describe. You can spin them up just in time and only pay for what you use. The advantage to unikernels is that cloud operators don't have to operate two layers of orchestrators, so they could pass those savings onto unikernel users; however, I don't think that will be the lowest hanging fruit for a long time.
Gotta say, kinda crappy. Why do I have a car? I'm wasting so much money on insurance and gas - that would never work out better than renting a shitty place closer than bussing distance. Accept the commute, even most of the middle class does it anyways so they can live in a bigger house.

Aye, but even in the 80s/90s I'd have thought there would be a big enough market for a mains-powered battery replacement; so "soon" after 1928 I'm surprised the market disappeared.

Agreed. When I moved into a new area and was "church hunting", one of my stops was the largest church in the area, with multiple satellite campuses. I realized why it was so popular: every Sunday was a big production. People were going to be entertained, not engaged.

There's definitely a continuum, though. There are small churches doing the traditional thing just as there's megachurches doing God, Inc. The church I attend now has a definite focus on the fundamentals you listed above.

>You can argue about inflation or whatever you want. I don't buy it.

This is literally ignoring factual evidence. Inflation has happened, there's no denying it. Wages have stagnated since the early 70's with a good portion of the country making less than they did in the 70's, or are making exactly what they made in the 70's. Chances are your "less than 1/3 of what I make now" was probably what you make now, or was at least worth much more than that same salary would be today. The cost of almost everything that's necessary & essential has risen by insane amounts since your children have been born.

tl;dr, you write compressed notes, or cornell notes style, which is all the concepts presented to you in a semester. You then attempt to teach these concepts to an invisible class: "If you can’t, out loud or on paper, explain the idea without confusion or contradiction, stop and figure it out right there."

Nothing lasts forever. Plain and simple.

I really dislike TV/Anime that never ends, seems to be the modus operandi for pretty much every mainstream show despite how bad the quality gets after 2-3 seasons.

Simpsons is a great showcase of the homogenization that every sitcom will go through given enough time. It starts out as a comedy with some wholesome family moments to bring it together but eventually every character is distilled to their most basic formula
Homer -> Idiot who causes events to happen
Bart -> Same as above
Marge -> Straight man / Voice of reason or Satire of moralistic conservative adults depending on the situation
Lisa -> same as marge but liberal piñata

Old episodes had genuine moments where you saw them become closer as family, now every episode is a hodgepodge of nonstop comedy.

Family Guy also went through this, especially after they got revived. The early episodes focused on the trials of the family with some goofy humor peppered throughout (Peter getting fired, Louis dealing with being a bored housewife) but now its just nonstop comedy.

Once you get syndicated it's not about making good episodes just churning out 26 more a year and cashing in that paycheck.

Even Steven Universe which has a very straightforward story with an end planned feels bloated with a bunch of filler episodes and lazy character development.

> Classic Simpsons would occasionally get a bit satirical or referential (like when Bush Sr made a guest appearance), but modern Simpsons seems more satirical than not. Episodes like the one featuring the "MyPod" with "Steve Mobs" basically had my eyes rolling into the back of my head. That's such low-hanging fruit that they're picking it up off the ground. It's not even good enough to be considered sophomoric.

And the Futurama take on this was just as bad (and I love Futurama). IMO, South Park is the best at doing this kind of satire... I can't point to exactly why, though. Being on cable allows them to push edgier jokes, but I'm sure it's more than that.

I don't think this has a camera, which makes me a little sad. That was probably my most used feature with Glass. I was usually taking pictures of my dog who hated cameras, and I could imagine it being great for baby photos too. The lack of camera is probably a conscious choice to make it less of a geeky gadget with privacy concerns and more of a mainstream device.
Yeah I can see the argument. I think this forum in general is too easily weighted towards considering money vs everything else in life though. I wanted to show numbers for a life that (considering the low CoL of the area) was perfectly good and maybe a little less rat-racy.

Also out of pure patriotism we just have way too many Canadians leaving so they can make more money in the US... but there definitely is innovation here also (maybe even more innovation, just less capital) so people who don't need as much money but are anxious about their skills getting outdated can definitely stay in Montreal.

1st. It’s not going to solve that. But, I don’t think solving that is a goal of this approach.

2nd. In a pure-unikernel approach, applications can’t steal from each other because there is only one application. Isolation is left to the VM. The goal is to get rid of the redundant isolation of running a multiplexing OS over a multiplexing VM. In the as-processes model, the Linux kernel still provides sandboxing. The goal there is to be a bridge between traditional and unikernel development.

3rd. The goal is to boil down to just virtualization and only the libraries specifically needed by a single specific application.
My VM is lighter and safer than your container:

Nobody on either side of the cold war made much effort to conceal that most of the rocket research was intended towards ICBM arms race, not peaceful research.

How well did stopping gaming go for you?
Well, it most certainly is, isn’t it? You get an additional double digit percentage. That’s going to help your margins.

They aren’t scammers, though, because most people want this. Of course it is unfair to you, but most countries have their laws originate in their dominant religious culture and consequently favour that culture.

For instance, the San Francisco MTA legalized parking along the median on the street for church services. It’s just the way that people want it to be, and in democracies, they will inevitably get their way so it’s best to take advantage of the laws they make. Being upset is less profitable than playing the game.
The farmer never cares about the cattle's well being. The farmer cares about the meat.

Yes, it's true that people are more likely to say they don't really know what they're talking about when discussing law. This seems like a fine thing to me and I wish people would do it more for other subjects.

A large part of what people say on the Internet is confident and wrong. For any hot topic, people will pretend to be experts after reading a news article or two. It's not uncommon to have debates where nobody in the conversation has any relevant experience.

If people were more realistic about what they know about the world, I think conversation would be a lot more realistic and less heated. (Yes, this is very unlikely.)
I guess I find it ironic then, that one of the most common programming errors, is of the "off-by-one" variety[1]. It is in part due to differences in convention and notation in various fields[2].

If the 0-based indexing was objectively superior, wouldn't there be fewer instances of such bugs?

Montreal's salaries are indeed a disgrace.

I live in Montreal, but work remotely for an American company. I am paid in USD what is twice the average for the same thing here. With all of our code running in datacenters nowadays, I can offer my services anywhere.

I've been using a saddle chair for about 7 years. I got it when I built my standup desk and wanted to alternate between standing and sitting, so I got a bar-height saddle chair (a little less common but it's made). That way whether I was standing or sitting, my eyes were at the same level w.r.t. to the screen.

That worked great in a setting where I was going and coming to my desk frequently and having to show stuff to others (beats making people bend down to watch a screen). Since then, that desk has moved to my home office and a few months ago, I adapted it to a sitting position but for a desk height that sits midway between a regular sitting desk and a standup desk. I still enjoy it for all-day work.

However, at the risk of stating the obvious, NO CHAIR is suitable for 8 hours sitting down. Regardless of your setup, getting up and taking breaks is necessary. Go for a little walk: both your back and your mind will thank you. Even better: do some stretching exercises during breaks—a goal I aspire to but haven't yet trained myself to do on a consistent basis.
I repaired a Galaxy S7 last year which had a broken rear case. It was pretty easy to get the parts and take it apart, but the rear of the phone was glued to the front screen, so when I took it apart it pulled some of the film above the screen off.

It doesn't work like that... "at least its our guys doing it" isn't some honest maxim we spout off in American fervor. It's akin to Winston knowing that when the 2-minutes-hate starts, whether you are into it or not, you stand up and blend in. Otherwise, those spy masters you mention make your life very uncomfortable, or take it away entirely. We just live here man, you don't think we actually are in charge and can make any difference...do you?
Maybe I suck at the Socratic method. Maybe the onboarding should be much easier. I think that if people must ask a friend to set up the phone, something has failed. It should just work and setup should be optional. If you wanted to migrate all your data and settings from a previous phone, you should be able to do that later, without wiping your phone. There's a lot yet to do in UX, not much explored. Apple really owns the "slick" game but they could spend some effort on the next billion customers.
I am pretty sure kids can grow up perfectly fine without watching whatever cartoon. Really, no matter what cartoon is, the kids will be fine. Why do people attack others parenting based on nonsense like that? You don't even know age of his kids. Sometimes parent recognize influences that shaped him in a bad way and then attempt to avoid the situation for his children.

Bart is not archetype for screwing up and learning lesson, Bart never learns lesson. Bart is archetype of out of control brat. Which is fine and there is nothing wrong with that and that is precisely why people enjoyed the character.

Great analysis - but I also wonder if IMDb ratings have a bit (or more than a bit) of selection bias, where people rating the episodes are the "hardcore fans" who've already established the narrative the idea that the show was in decline past season 10, 11, 13 - and so since the data has potentially already been shaped by bias around a narrative, it can't reveal anything more than hardcore Simpsons fans prevailing attitudes.

In other words, you're asking a bunch of people who are obsessed with The Simpsons for their episode ratings; of course you're going to see a decline.

Having the build on server side seems like the way when you don't have to ask each dev to set stuff up and it will be a hassle to change environment once deployed.
I also auto upload my TS to server and let the server handle it but I do wonder if there's an easy way for average shops to deploy.

It seems everyone is doing their own way of build process from local build, gulp, webpack or custom server processing and all has their downsides.

It does seem like a hurdle when this process isn't easy for everyone involved when switching to TS.
