Your hands are in the same physical location as the object you're interacting with. It removes one of the planks of artificiality and improves the chance your brain will stop signalling that experience isn't real.

I don't entirely agree with OP. I enjoy VR even when it uses the gamepad. If the iteractions have a good "in-game" explanation - no matter how far-fetched - then your brain will stop raising the alarm. So if the game gives a good justification for pushing buttons in-world then that will do the trick.
Collaborative Software That’s Wary of the Cloud
Yes they have, language ecosystems with decades of battle field deployments in production, while Dart still tries to make itself relevant.

What I am suggesting is that the reasoning why Dart instead of something else is flawed and can only be naively bought by those that lack experience in UI domain.

How pretty those UIs used to look like is secondary.

Flutter is being positioned to rescue Dart, and make it meaningful beyond the AdWord team, the place where it landed when all Dart designers eventually left Google.

Where is the "Google's Commitment to Dart" blog post?
Although VR is technically "strapping screens to your face" that description doesn't do justice to the actual experience. I sense from your jocular put-downs the scepticism of someone that hasn't tried modern VR. Would I be correct?
Great idea but IMOthe documentation is not clear about how to use this tool. I mean, I have a folder with hundred movies: how to start?
I've done freelancing and I'm currently developer on a corporation.

I've seen a lot of talent go in and out. Usually it goes out like this:

- PM is seeking resources internally, you could be reached out and be told on what they are trying to do.
- The project can be complex or easy. Honestly it doesn't matter within the context of working for a company. As far freelancer, you can go on a nitty-gritty with the client on what it takes to do and justify your rates to them... for a already-hired developer:

- There's absolutely no guarantee they will incentivize you after all the efforts (working as a developer for a company). So it really doesn't matter if the project is super complex or not. Management is pretty stupid most of the time and they can't see the level of effort in things even if you break them out to them. Or they can simply be ignorant about it.

- I've said no. Usually I'm very driven with new challenges but I've learned the hard way that it doesn't matter at all. These days I just say "I don't know, sorry." and "yea I just never worked on that". I've seen people gone the road of talking about training courses so they could stall management a lot if they don't have many options.

Why? Because there's really no end goal. You are already hired within the company. Employers take for granted that that's reason enough for you to do it.

Honestly it could go many ways. Not all companies will be as awful as mine. If you are lucky enough to land with a company that recognizes your efforts and incentivizes you for it good for you. I don't think many people are that lucky.

I'd say, believe me there are quite a lot of geniuses, but I've yet to meet a fool that takes the bait of taking more complex work in without proper incentive. (excluding fresh graduates and those still in their starting years)

This is a good point. I did take a class on phonetics at uni, and it helps a lot with learning the basics of a new language. Maybe Duolingo should do a phonetics course which teaches IPA using examples from a range of different languages!

Open AI: Deep Double Descent
Lisp in Vim with Slimv or Vlime
The latter is quite close to reality, indeed. State and regional bureaucracy offices typically open only 5 hours, from 9 to 14 (their workers work some more, but typically no more than 7.5 hours in theory, and probably less in practice) which makes them really inconvenient as you typically have to split your workday to go. And in many of those they work very, um... relaxedly. With long coffee breaks, smoking breaks, random breaks... but it's something specific of these workers, the rest of Spain doesn't generally work like that.

Bureaucracy is actually the single thing I hate most about Spain. I'm a professor at a university and the sheer amount of bureaucracy is staggering, asphyxiating at times. In fact it's a relevant factor making me work longer than I should as too much time is spent dealing with that. In industry most people don't have to deal with much bureaucracy, though, unless they're company owners or self-employed.

In industry, people tend to work long hours: there is still a culture of presentialism with remote work being frowned upon in many companies, suboptimal traditional work timetables with a long lunch break make many people return home way too late, and the threat of unemployment (not so much in the tech sector) and the need for money in an economy with modest salaries and high housing prices makes workers accept lots of (paid or sometimes unpaid) overtime.

If you're seriously considering moving, maybe it's a matter of being selective (supposing you can search while holding your current job) and taking time to find a company with more modern ways, that doesn't value presentialism and overtime. There is a growing minority of companies like that. If you mention these things as priorities in interviews, companies that want workers in their posts until late in the evening will probably filter themselves out.

If you do score a good company that allows for work-life balance and provides a good salary for Spanish standards (even if it's low for American standards), quality of life in Spain is excellent. Good climate in most places, good public healthcare, amazing and relatively cheap food both in supermarkets and restaurants, good bars and nightlife, nice natural landscapes and hiking places (especially in the north), decent public transport (not stellar compared to e.g. Germany but much better than in America) and in most cities you can go outside at 3 am and feel safe walking in 90% of the city (100% in some). I have had offers to work in America for several times my salary here and haven't even considered them.

I think there is a difference between contractor/freelance and consultant. With the latter the client bring you for a general expertise on a type of problem.

The main problem with java is oracle though which lobby patent trolls its way towards almost zero progress for java in the past 10 years.

A frequently-offered suggestion is that such disruptions (by whatever the party) aren't aimed at assisting one internal political faction or another, so much as they are at political disruption.

By weakening the party in power, or transitioning to another, that's achieved.

Whether or not that's the goal in this specific case, I don't know. But it's a useful model and motive to keep in mind.

(It's also a useful cautionary message to those who find themselves, at least temporarily, advantaged by such activities. Actors whose interests are not aligned with yours will rare continue to act in your interests.)

My preferred remote desktop tool is TeamViewer. Almost no VPS actually supports this, because TeamViewer needs a virtual graphics card (that's what I'm calling it, but I actually don't know what to call it).

Linode used to provide one at 1024x768, but I think they no longer do so. Vultr however does support one, at 1280x1024.

Anybody else have this preference for TeamViewer?
I don’t see the problem with that diagram. It’s a consequence of your activity/fragment potentially being killed at any time, something you need to be aware of on mobile devices. iOS has same diagram.
If you really want to push yourself - I strongly suggest looking into OMSCS. If you get in, you can take classes in areas you may not be familiar (ML, AI, compiler optimisations, many things). It will stretch your knowledge for sure and expose you to a wide variety of areas that don’t come up at all in typical web dev.

> In the early 2000s after the collapse of insurance giant HIH, NSW and Victoria abolished some classes of builders' warranty insurance. The governments said it was to try and stabilise the industry and ensure its viability.
>
> So if you're in a new apartment building of more than three storeys, instead of making a claim with an insurer, it's now you versus the builder. You've still got a warranty, but you may need a lawyer.

The rational was builders of that size and above would avoid being put out of business by insurance claims. It had been true up until that point. But from https://www.abc.net.au/news/8403744 :

I like the idea, but isn't it forbidden by law, by the state itself?

Not only the politicians themselves could be monitored, but also their families, children, life partners…

Though, it could create two worlds. The area around the policitian's houses, that would be clean of cameras, and the others, infested by cams.
How well does it scale in complexity though? These easy declarative UIs tend to have a hard ceiling in complexity and then you're forced to rewrite everything. How does SwitftUI scale to complex and animation heavy UIs?

Because the comparable phone to iOS phones aren't "Android phones" but "Pixel phones". Phones where the OS vendor also builds the hardware and controls everything.

It's just a different model. Single corporation stack gives you more consistency and less bloatware and OEM based stack gives you more market choice and greater accessibility.

I don't find that obviously true. Not obvious at all. And the more I look into it, the less probable it is.

You're assuming Flutter has buy-in from the Androidd team. Nothing shows that's true though.
The easiest way is to start subcontracting. It's easier to start saving money, and sometimes, you'll hit on a project where you spot a business opportunity.

For instance, you learn the ins and outs of a particular industry, and suddenly spot a niche product. I haven't made the leap yet, because I like the subcontracting so much. But I've spotted many (perceived) opportunities.
Generally, building things on land has substantially other constraints than on a ship. You have substantially more space and weight is much less of a concern. Usually, power plants on land are built much larger than on sea, leveraging different scale economies.
It is cool when that happens, but it is extremely important to define the scope of work very well when it does. As if the client had a different expectation for the time frame don't be surprised if they then continue bothering you about details of integration of your feature with the rest of their project for a month.
Or Nebula?
You will have to explicitly ask the potential employers about their interview process upfront, which one should ask anyways before investing time into the process.

Usually companies which hire generalists would interview with Algos, DS, System Design and then have tech specific interviews later on. Some may not even do tech specific and others may do it in matching stage after making the offer.

Really there is a lot of variance, but if you are looking at FANG, better bite the bullet, give yourself decent time (3 - 6) months to prep and start applying/interviewing.

For other non FANG, I assume the process may not be so leetcode focused, no guarantees there as there are many companies which prefer to ape FANG style interviewing at their own peril!

Good luck.

Why would you buy an LG versus a Samsung? Too many android manufacturers to compete on just hardware alone. Even less so than Windows laptops and PCs. Customizing Android is the differentiator.

I personally hate it, but I understand why they do it. I just wish we could get a class leading vanilla Android phone. Pixel isn’t it.
Demoscene Talk at Siggraph Conference – Featuring C64, Amiga, Cracking and Demos
English doesn't have falling-rising contours like the Mandarin third tone, so there's at least the difficulty of having to learn a new category of pitch change. I do wonder whether e.g. Mandarin speakers have similar difficulty acquiring the different contours of e.g. Cantonese. Intuitively, I'd expect it to get easier the more different categories one can already distinguish.
Truth is Kotlin and Swift are just a form of developer lock-in. A webapp written in React inside of a chromium webview is fast enough for most apps use cases. (NO REACT NATIVE PLEASE)

If you never doubt yourself, it’s probable all of the issues around you is the fault of someone else, all conflicts is because of someone else, and if your solution is not accepted it’s because people are not smart enough to get it.

Imposter syndrome is self reflection. Sometimes a small mistake is enough for you to question your whole career. That’s why everyday feedback within a team is so important. Be sure to tell people when they do great things and boost them in what they do. Brag about your colleagues and enjoy being among people that want to accomplish great things. Be a part of that and contribute by being yourself :)

This article does not have much info.

What exactly does exhibit criticality? As correctly stated, all kind of phenomena can exhibit power laws.

Avalanches on a sandpile are sized as a power law. Typical example of self-organized criticality (Per Bak).

Back in the day I played with group renormalization theory to prove SOC, but most systems break down if there is loss on a microscopic scale. Intuitively, you need conservation laws on a microscopic scale or the very large events do not happen.

This is unlikely the case in a biological system and I won't expect it to be at a critical state, but only hovering around "an interesting area".
> Could be women attracted to bad boys. Or many they like the safety of the guy being behind bars. Or not being able to see someone makes it possible to dwell on the imagination. Also, helper syndrome.

The answer to that is no, being man in or after prison does not make you more attractive to women. No, average woman is not attracted to safety of imprisoned males nor to he badness. Nor does absent husband makes imagination go wild and marriage better.

All these speculations as speculations about women are wrong based on stats.

And the bit about serial killer finding love is also dubious. We are talking about people with several emotional problems and lifetime of abuse (typically both as victims and perpetrators) on both sides. These are not kind of relationship a healthy blind or non blind person wants.
Is anybody claiming that?
Thanks for your work in webtorrent!
It’s interesting to look at this celebratory narrative and the fact that Valhalla took over 5 years (!?). And contrast with the rise of go and AWS Lambda. And C++, where the polished parts of boost got added to the language behind some flags (so the old language was preserved). And the growth of C++ despite the complete absence of a competitive, platform agnostic packaging & distribution solution.

Wait, why do we care about the JVM?? This whole article appears to address concerns that, while fundamental to programming, are also fundamentally irrelevant to shipping products.
Just ask if they have made a decission already and eventually what is a planed start date. You may politely explain that your availability slots are filling up for upcoming weeks/months.

It is normal for projects to be deprioritized. In that case usually all focus is shifted onto something else - that includes decisions and communication effort too.
That should be controlled against simply repeating the test and simply giving "normal" people adderal during iq testing.
Well, if you consider material things as information, than the best way to create value is provide "Provide information where it's wanted" and "Optimise information delivery".

When people want information they don't have and you either can create it (by combining information, which too comes at a cost - money, time, materials) or know how to obtain it.

When people already have the information or a system put in place, you can always create value by cutting the path to information they want or need - that being optimising the system, processes, creating new ones, lowering inertia (how much willpower needs to be invested for me to obtain the information), providing it cheaper, faster, with more quality or cutting out other middlemen.

You can use this framework to minimise some even more complex providers, for example, let's take an iPhone - It is a path to information (communication device) that distinguishes from others by helping people get to information in a faster, easier and more quality way. That's why Apple focuses so much on product design and UX and keeps it's customers - they can get to information with the path of least inertia, so Apple keeps most of iOS stuff the same through years - the "used to it" part is keeping low inertia for people so they can carry their habits through new devices instead of changing them. But some other places where the product gains much traction is because people want a signal boost of their socioeconomic status - that is not an easy thing to display, but a newest iPhone is a pretty optimised signal boost for that too, so it in a way optimises information delivery there too.
