Have you read Voltaire's Bastards? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6584.Voltaire_s_Bastards

It is an in depth criticism of the overly rational. A lot of it went over my head or didn't make sense because I don't have a strong background on some historical/philosophical touchpoints, but I thought it was a great read.
Yes - I prefer steel to stone. Mostly because I've had multiple pizza stones break on me mid cook. My steel never has.

The "decentralized" nature of Git that GitHub interferes with is within an individual project. Instead of all the developers having their own copies of the repo and sharing things around between each other (i.e. the project is decentralized), there's a central GitHub repo for a project that is considered canonical and everyone interacts with that. This doesn't give GitHub any power to censor projects — Git itself is no more centralized than it ever was. You can use Git without GitHub and it works just as well as ever.

You seem to have different goal posts for VR and you also seem to take existing tech for granted.

Like television, VR sells itself.

If someone has never seen television before, you don't need to draw up a sales pitch to convince them that it can enrich their life. You just need to have a television on display tuned to an action movie and that person can see for their self. It immediately entertains.

Same with VR. Ever seen VR on display in the wild? People, young and old, are naturally drawn to it. It immediately fascinates people.

Your post makes it seem like you would've poo-pooed computers and video games because keyboards and gaming controllers are too complicated. Yet the VR interface is much simpler than those. Watch a tech-illiterate person strap on VR for the first time. The first thing they do is look down at their hands and wave them around.

Like the person seeing an action movie on television for the first time, they don't need a sales rep to tell them how this might be entertaining.
You would only know there was a discharge summary if there was a corresponding admission history and physical.

If no indication of an admission to a hospital was made, then you have no reason to expect a discharge summary. However, I would imagine the radiology reports would have included the metastases...
"The new trappings of intensive parenting are largely fixtures of white, upper-middle-class American culture, but researchers say the expectations have permeated all corners of society, whether or not parents can achieve them."

We raised two girls in the Pacific Northwest of USA. Many of the families participating in same extra activities as us (e.g, gymnastics, figure skating, dance, ballet, gifted programs, swimming, SAT training) were immigrant families.

We spent a lot of money but the result was worth it and the ride was fun as hell. However, I was raised free-range in a poor single-parent household and that worked out too.
Compatibility is a stepping stone to increasing the 0.8% (actual numbers) Linux population on Steam to higher numbers. If 2% or even 10% of users were Linux-based then developers would have second thoughts about choosing DirectX over Vulkan for example when it makes it more difficult for them to reach those customers.

Also the "no tux no bucks" philosophy many Linux users take in avoiding paying for non-native games.
This advantage is further multiplied with TypeScript, since you can easily share types between backend and frontend. Working with a single set of types that enforce contracts (and supply IDE autocompletion) across the entire stack is amazing. It provides a huge productivity boost and eliminates a whole class of extremely common bugs.
'Paranoia set in': chaos at the end of Appster
I got swept up in the VR hype 30 years ago. Still waiting!
No, the activity I was engaged in has survived many versions of media: stories, live music, recordings, radio, and TV.

In fact, each of those media conveyances has made concessions to that activity, rather than the other way around.

So I’m naturally skeptical that a media form which ignores it is going to somehow replace the ones that don’t, given the history of that activity.

I’m asking why other people seem to think otherwise.
My $0.02 but that is NOT a reason to use JS on the backend. That is an argument to cross-train or hire someone. It's like saying "We only had an expert on building houses made with straw so we chose straw." Because they know the language doesn't mean for one moment that that will make a good background there are so many concepts, services, paradigms and best practices that the language is probably the least of importance other than it should be something solid, robust, and battle tested which I would argue against with most JS backends although some are fairly well understood.
If officials pick companies and platforms for that purpose then they would not be allowed to use those companies and platforms.
I got a cast iron Lodge pizza pan (iron, not steel), admittedly in large part because I have a cast iron fetish. It was cheap, has served excellently for making pizzas, and doubles as an extraordinarily large griddle for making bulk pancakes or broiling steaks.

The type of reactor that is common today is the Light Water Reactor (LWR)

The temperature is determined by practical considerations, particularly the coolant that is in use. The LWR is limited by the use of water as a coolant, but it doesn't attain temperatures as high as a coal burning power plant does because of materials considerations. The reactor has to hold up for a long time under a high radiation field and the results of a failing reactor vessel would total the reactor and lead to an expensive clean-up. (But wouldn't be an environmental catastrophe so long as water could be kept circulating in the confinement)

To raise the operating temperature we would need to switch to a different coolant, and that is easier said than done because that coolant has to be compatible with all the materials in use, not absorb too much radiation, not be damaged by the radiation, not be made radioactive than the radiation, etc. The physical form of the fuel is affected by this too.

For instance, LWR fuel can be removed from the reactor and stored under water for 15-20 years and then stored in dry casks for an indefinite time. We know we could bury it underground and it would stay there for thousands of years. We know how to dissolve it in nitric acid, extract the uranium and plutonium and use it to make new fuel.

The waste management story is much sketchier with alternative fuel forms.

People have built reactors with different coolants, a good selection can be found here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor

As for the "small modular reactor" that is going from the frying pan to the fire. The first LWRs that we built were small and it was clear that the economic case for them was bad and it was thought that it could be improved by "going big" but that didn't happen.

This thread already is about Asciidoctor, not Asciidoc.
I've been thinking about this recently, and I feel that the "shared environment" aspect is the key, much more than facial expressions. Uncanny valley aside, I feel that brains have it much easier to recognize presence of a person despite a weird body. I've already had this kind of feeling with regular multiplayer 3D games on a flat screen. I feel virtual environments might alone be sufficient to do the trick of crossing the gulf you talk about.
It's not. And I actually feel insulted to have you counter my initial statement. Go read the article again and tell me how is it an official response.

But what you described doesn’t augment what I was doing: it lowers the local interactions, eg by removing subtle visual cues for interactions between people, while not offering something I see as better.

I’d rather interact with the people next to me than fake touch things while adjacent to other people. Further, if I want to fake touch things with other people — why would I do it with us both wearing immersive displays instead of AR and a shared projection we can collaboratively touch?

In this case, AR seems like a genuine augmentation of what I was doing, while VR sounds like a regression in quality.

What you describe sounds like what a planetarium would install, not anything I need in my living room — precisely because I have limited need to be engaged with content over adjacent persons.

> Let's ignore the fact you were watching the content passively and thus making your argument moot given we're talking about a technology designed to hold your complete attention.

Yes, that’s precisely what I’m trying to call out: in one situation I’m freely switching between passive content and local interactions, while the other insists on my full, continuous attention. They’re not really equivalent activities, so I’m confused why they’re compared.

I have very little use for a full attention display, because that’s the minority of content I engage with or interactions I want to have.
The most amazing thing about your comment, is that it appears that you think it's a reply to my comment.

> Thus I suspect that the only phrase the review physician really needed to make a disability determination--"diagnosis: inoperable stage IV metastatic cancer"--was intentionally omitted from the review materials, because it was the only way to plausibly deny the application. A vital missing record can plausibly be explained as accidental, if you intentionally make the bureaucratic process onerous enough. Absent that vital datum, the whole dossier of review materials was absolutely useless.

This is the key insight I took away as well. I have not applied for SSDI (nor made determinations for it); however, if the physician reviewing the records is not provided the information nor provided an opportunity to question to patient directly, you will of course have "garbage in, garbage out".

This is a systemic issue, and the system at fault is the local government.
Indeed. Much less hassle, much less expense, many fewer tradeoffs, and much more social.
As I said above: hire someone new or invest the time to learn the language. Just because someone knows how to make a cute scarf using duct tape, safety scissors, and Elmers glue doesn't mean they should be building your backend driving the company 95 mph with seatbelts, airbags, and a chassis with crumple-zones.

You're neglecting the crowd that have Windows at home and want to stop using it also. If gamers can have the exact same UX on Linux then that's one of the biggest obstacles to switching solved.

Like how nobody wants to have their accounts frozen with no notice? Or how people don't want a private company to be able to dictate what they are allowed to buy and sell? Or how people don't want to have to be constantly vigilant to ensure their simple 16 digit number doesn't get into the wrong hands (or that the hands they are required to give it to don't misuse it) and if/when it does they quickly report it to the credit card company so they aren't on the hook for it.

All money systems have tradeoffs, cryptocurrencies are just another option.

VR does not have to compete with anything resembling a perfect life or a perfect moment (although I am sure it can and it will). Think of it as a drug, a tool for the sick and the unhappy.

Betting against VR feels like betting against drugs. I do not see any future where it will not be absolutely massive.

I've often wondered if a contributing factor to teen suicides is the parents' effort to remove all hint of failure from their kids' lives. This is possible when they're young, you can do the "everyone's a winner!" thing and it works.

But the kids fail to learn to cope with failure in the small things, and by the time they're a teen the parents can no longer protect them from the consequences of failing. They have learned no coping skills, and cannot handle it.

I had a similar journey but I went back to the Windows PC for my occasional gaming and my developer/operations experience as a Mac user became more and more broken over the years.

I'm back to Linux and OpenBSD workstations and phasing Macs out again. My iPad Pro 12" is a busted, glitchy POS and so have my last 3 iPhones. So have my last two MBPs.

Never again. I'll remain on iOS phones until there is a viable (secure) alternative.

It's not so long ago that 3D TV was going to be in every home.

Turned out to be empty hype and not a product that was that desirable. VR headsets seem firmly in the same category. I've been hearing that VR will be huge since the 80s, which is when I first tried a VR headset. Current tech is higher res and framerate with nearly all the same limitations.

There's no sign VR Hype 5.0 will prove more successful than any previous incarnations.

Maybe it won't always be stuck as a niche gaming addon, but at this point I'm tempted to say "not in my lifetime".
I wish the "Request Desktop" option actually faked a typical screen size (say, 1280 x 800, 96dpi) and all the other attributes that would make a site think it's displaying on a desktop browser. It's frustrating to really want the desktop version, and have no way of doing that when the site is too "smart" for me.

I know what I'm in for (lots of zooming and panning). For some sites, it's the only way to reach certain features that the site didn't include in their mobile version.
> I've lived in the world of Rails and Django so long, I sort of take schema migrations for granted.

And there's lots more room for improvement over Rails and Django migrations.

Some of the problems:

- Annoying version number management

- Management of long "chain" of migration files

- Unnecessary coupling between ORM and migration tool

- Heavyweight process to generate and run each migration, which slows down local development

- Bad testability

Autosyncing local dev databases, and automatically generating migration scripts with a diff tool is a better approach, imho.
Don't know about ditching altogether, but I had a pizza with a lot of Gorgonzola in Italy (Among other cheese): 'twas very good

The whole joy of making Pizza at home, is that it's pretty easy so you can really just yeet any old ingredients available on and just see what sticks (Or more realistically, smells right)
Those free private repos don't include pages, wikis, or repo insights. The "new" $7 pro do.
"If you can do things overlaid over the real world, that should be inherently more interesting than having to construct a synthetic world.

I just think that’s only true for people who live in a really interesting place in the real world. But only something like .1 percent and 1 percent of people on Earth live in a place where they wake up every morning and think, Wow, there are so many interesting things to see."

I disagree with this sentiment and it really portrays SV elitism, aka "most of the world is a shithole except where me and my friends live, so I'm compelled to show 99% of the rest of humanity what they're missing." It's also wrong from a business sense, where "ARish" type product like Airpods, Apple Watch and other passive product are doing well globally.

Strictly speaking there is not even a "market cap" for currencies, because the term applies, by definition, only to stocks of publicly traded companies.
Yea sure, but removing the language as a thing to learn makes it easier to learn concepts needed for programing on the backend. Besides were using Typescript, have automated tests, code reviews and Manual QA, I'm not worried about the code not being solid or robust.

Apple doesn’t have the same market share Microsoft had at the time of the 1990s anti-trust case. They haven’t exercised the same level of anticompetitive and monopolistic practices.

Get them to 90% of the market share. Get them to cripple other companies by withholding (or threatening to withhold) OEM-priced licenses if they work with a competitor. Get them to drop billions on a broken web browser to undercut their competitors (they lost money on IE in order to cut into Netscape). Then we can go after Apple for their browser (and other) policies.
> I can rent an apartment in Warsaw, while officially working in Berlin and never bother telling Polish government that I am a resident there

Good for you, but I "can" sneak into any country of the world and remain there illegally like you. It doesn't mean I'm entitled to and neither are you.

> And guess what? Nothing will happen. At worst I'll show my tax statement from Germany and tax authorities will fuck off.

You are dreaming. Look at the legislation and don't argue with slacking bureaucracy.

> Now I moved to US.... Where I have to ask permission to fucking leave this shithole of a country.

Did anyone force you to? I perfectly understand "leave" voters who want to prevent this kind of migration: people who come for economic reasons but show no respect for the country and its laws.
I have not found a better site than pizzamaking.com if you want to dive into pizza styles and methods. The gluten free forum was a great resource for me.
I have a dumb question: what part of the rest of the pizza-making process can you do better than the restaurant? I ask because the big issue in home pizza production is that your oven is unlikely to reach the temps commercial pizza ovens hit, and people go to all sorts of weird lengths to rectify this.

At the point where you're getting the dough from the restaurant, why not just get the pizza from the restaurant?
> If someone has never seen television before [...] you don't need to draw up a sales pitch to convince them that it can enrich their life

Indeed, because they can see a television. They enjoy it immediately. They don't have to put on a headset, they don't have to engage in sensory deprivation, they don't need to think about software, they don't need to think about use cases.

The point I'm making is that TV was a bogus analogy.

> Your post makes it seem like you would've poo-pooed computers and video games because keyboards and gaming controllers are too complicated

Not at all. Game controllers don't require me to take myself out of my environment to enjoy them.

> Watch a tech-illiterate person strap on VR for the first time. The first thing they do is look down at their hands and wave them around.

They then say "wow, this is cool, I wish I had one". They don't say "I want to buy one of these and put it in my living room". To think they do is, again, that disconnect between Silicon Valley and ordinary people in full force; that because we think it might be cool, somehow we know everybody wants it, and we'll happily ignore all the reasons why people don't or, more condescendingly, dismiss them and anybody who mentions them.

Such hubris should be the lesson of Google Glass and Snap.
