How can you drive adoption with that kind of setup. Most people do not have a spare room just for some kind of 3D setup, even if you could develop a technology to turn your walls into 3D images, you still cannot interact with the environment as you cannot project the image in the "air". You cannot grab things or turn things around as you can in VR. Given that your perspective should change depending on your head positioning, this kind of system should reproject everything as you move your head (even turning of your head should affect it).

There are a lot of issues with this kind of tech, at least for the mass market. For niche uses like driving simulators it can work, and I am sure with enough cash you could set it up.

Even VR has issues, data collected by SteamVR and Oculus shows that most people have very small playspaces, this means that roomscale experiences are much harder to pull off. Right now, the main problem is barriers to adoption, having a headset that you can just put on your head like you turn on your gaming console, that is what is needed. Needing to take 5 minutes to start everything up, or half an hour to setup your tracking cameras is not acceptable for average consumer. Oculus Quest works great in this department and is the way VR will go forward.
Likewise for the US.
In basically their territory. Why do we need a presence or embassy there? Why waste the money? Does Canada have an embassy in every nation? Does France? What about Sweden and Denmark?

If we absolutely need a presence why not have coalition embassies? A single office w/ 1 member from each coalition country, and equal soldiers from all countries and diplomatically making unilateral decisions as a group not based on any country's agenda.
Wunderfind might help. It just hit the App Store this week, and the Pro version is free for a limited time. (No connection to the developer.)

So let me put this in another way, neither OpenGL or Vulkan are a common API, beyond the basic step of putting a triangle on the screen.

Any production grade, cross-platform engine, has so many extensions and workarounds for drivers and cards, that each code path ends up looking like a different API is being used.

They are common only on paper, write once, patch everywhere.

In fact, if you want to use OpenGL in a way to avoid such mess, OpenGL 3.3 is probably still the best target to hope for, with all the constraints that it entails as legacy version.

Just like on mobile devices, as Godot was forced to redo their engine, anything beyond OpenGL ES 2.0 is more headache than it is worth.

Google has made Vulkan a required 3D API on Android, because most drivers outside flagship devices are unusable and they hope that via this option to force OEMs to actually provide something that developers can actually make use of.

So much for "portable" APIs.

I don't hold books on the same pedestal, but extended together time I certainly do. Could be building Lego, using a computer, drawing, all of these things help with focus.

I think constructive praise is critical too, so they feel the tangible benefits of putting time into a project. I actually think books are bad in this regard, there is nothing to praise at the end, though it does provoke thought. We switched to comics, they are able to handle much more complex story lines then.

I currently use RQ. Here is the logic that lead me to choosing it, then wishing I had just used Postgres.

I need a queue to handle long running jobs. I looked around the Python ecosystem (bc Flask app) and found RQ. So now I add code to run RQ. Then I add Redis to act as the Queue. Then I realized I needed to track jobs in the queue, so I put them into the DB to track their state. Now I effectively have a circular dependency between my app, Redis, and my Postgres DB. If Redis goes down, I’m not really sure what happens. If the DB goes down I’m not really sure what’s going on in Redis. This added undue complexity to my small app. Since I’m trying to keep it simple, I recently found that you can use Postgres as a pub/sub queue which would have completely solved my needs while making the app much easier to reason about. Using Postgres will have plenty of room to grow and buy you time to figure out a more durable solution.
He wants to have a conversation where he can use shorthand that won't be turned against him later through decontextualized misunderstanding. This doesn't sound unreasonable to me at all. In fact, it's something we take advantage of frequently as individuals.

If I were a high-profile person recorded for everything I did I'd almost certainly be raked over the coals for "Just kill all the apaches. They are fucking useless." when talking to a friend as we hacked on apache running in forked mode and spawned a million processes that can't respond. This is why I use nginx now. Much safer.
The reason you want smaller entities in private healthcare is that is reduces the size and impact of bankruptcy risk. Same reason you want smaller banks.

If you want competition to work you have to have sufficient excess capacity in the system to allow entities to fail and fail fast.

Not so much a case of big enough to cope, but small enough not to matter that much in the grand scheme of things.

That ought to be the rule of thumb for any competition authority - if this new entity went pop, would we notice?

Capitalism without the threat of bankruptcy is like Catholicism without the threat of hellfire. It no longer works as a concept.
This sort of trite opinion is constantly trotted out when someone criticizes technology. Technology is a word, it doesn’t represent anything inherently. It’s perfectly reasonable to be critical of one form of technology and laudatory of another.

3DOF vs 6DOF could mean less depending on the experience you try out. If you try out a well designed 3DOF experience that can work quite well, especially as the same experience in 6DOF won't be drastically different. But when you try out a good 6DOF experience WITH hand/controller tracking, that is a game changer. Being able to pick up things and interact with them in a natural way, this makes it real for me.

>My prediction is 10 years from now we'll look at interpreters and language VMs as relics from a simpler time when clockrates were always increasing and energy was cheap.

Funnily enough someone said that exact same thing 10 years ago in that thread:

>* Functional programming / dynamic languages will go out of fashion. People still using them will be judged as incompetent programmers by the people who moved on to the new fashionable programming paradigm(s). At the same time, huge corporations will embrace functional programming / dynamic languages and third world universities will start focusing on them in their courses.

Wrong then wrong now.
A solution to this is leveraging the ecosystem of another language, like elixir (erlang) and all the jvm languages do.
I seen an ad in my feed on Facebook where you could finance a toothbrush. Like the company was offering their own loan. However I think putting a toothbrush on a credit card you already use and pay off would be normal since more people are cashless, but a separate loan just for a toothbrush sounded insane to me. But maybe that's the future...

What about VACUUM? Did they add something to PostgreSQL to lower space consumption?
I haven't done this but I imagine you could put a service worker that has a fetch event listener that puts you in front of the raw tile data being cached. https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/4326

From their you can serialize/deserialize the whole tile and map a new field (annoying), or if your clever... map your variable value fields lower in the values index array of the vt pbf. That way assuming you have a small number of unique style by values, you could get away with simply replacing a single byte representing that style value field with another value dictating a different style, for each feature in the vector tile.

That might be a little to abstract so tl:dr version put a listener in front of fetch. One byte represents the target dynamic field in each feature in the tile (if you have a small number of unique values). Replace that single byte with your desired target byte.
To be honest, I feel that Oculus/Facebook are really fair with their headsets. All of their headsets can natively play SteamVR titles and there is no major gatekeeping in that direction. Sure, they do have criteria for getting included in their store but they are not blocking anyone from using other kind of software.

With Oculus Quest, they are even slightly allowing "unofficial" content on the device with sideloading APKs onto the device. They could close everything down if they wanted but they seem to be quite fair so far.

As a developer, you can stay on SteamVR and ignore Oculus. If your content is good, people will use their Oculus headsets with SteamVR to access your content.
Personal emails also help with the urge to reply "right then" and there are no single, double, blue, grey ticks.

IMHO: The Macbook (the small one, that was killed) made more sense than these iPad + keyboard attachments. You had a one, slim package that was easy to use on lap and carry around with one hand (even if open). It was able to run normal software, there was no need to resort to hacking to do for example software development.

The negative thing with Macbook was the price point. It was a bit expensive to have as a second computer and on the other hand not powerful enough to be the primary workhorse. Also the battery life could have been better.
The first two, autonomous cars and AI hype are pretty much the opposite of most of HN's opinion.

>It’s interesting that as a corporation one can do things that would otherwise be illegal as an individual.

Can you elaborate on this one more? A corporation that does illegal things cannot be criminally prosecuted, but if a member or director authorizes criminal activity then the government can pierce the corporate veil and prosecute the individual(s) directly.

Example: eCorp directors have a grudge against xCorp's cleaning lady so they hire a hitman and pay for her death. the police would arrest the directors and any parties involved and they will seize both personal and business assets related to the crime. Cleaning lady's family hires a lawyer and sues eCorp and each director personally for damages. eCorp loses and pays gobs of money. each director loses and pays whatever gobs of money they have left. Ergo, a corporation did something that was illegal (conspired and then paid for a killing) which left them civilly liable. Then the corporate veil was pierced and all of the guilty were found and charged.

The government wouldn't use this service because it is illegal. If you are making an overly general and vague comment on the legality of stingrays.. there is nothing illegal about hosting a BSS/LTE station with Voip and SMS integration and logging all of the MACs of local phones as they connect. The secrecy comes from the police not wanting their methods coming out in legal texts for public knowledge.

I might have misunderstood your point but I don't follow why this is a thing you would want to remedy at the business level. Has modern Google been shown to be less effective as a business than past-Google due to ideas like the DoD contract? Companies exist to service an identified demand and there doesn't seem to be a reason technology companies would be different in this respect. If people don't want companies chasing the demand for services like Dragonfly then they should vocalize those concerns as clear demands at the political level so that additional regulations can be implemented. Unless the strategy itself was unsound, which I realize might have been your broader point, it seems weird to consider these sorts of changes as a negative thing for the business.
There is a great parallel to this in filmmaking. Some of the greatest films took unexpected turns during production, often forced to change in major ways due to accidents, scheduling conflicts, budget, or last-minute ad-libs which become central themes of their characters. In a number of films, those unplanned additions turned out to be key to the success of the film.

One specific example of this is The Other Side of the Wind, by Orson Welles, in which Welles noted the existence of this magic phenomenon and deliberately sought to make a film centrally driven by happenstance and unscripted ad-libs. In other words: trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
