Good VR isn't just about graphics quality. Mobile phone GPUs can deliver a high enough frame rate to deliver an immersive experience. The Oculus Quest is proof of that.

The only downside is that the graphical content has to be stylized. But in games, stylized looks can be a boon instead of a hindrance. A typical good gaming experience is extremely stylized and over the top, anyway (especially in these "realistic" militaristic FPS games).

London Startup Documentaries [Official Launch]
Every business needs a narrative.
Every entrepreneur needs inspiration.
Every candidate should be able to type into a search box and watch a mini documentary about the company they will work for.

We are now ready to officially launch www.startupsoflondon.com with our new trailer! Watch here: https://youtu.be/wsFkheitN7o

I spent the last three months touring the streets of London to discover the best startups and interview their founders (and tour their offices) as part of Startups of London.

In this age, having professionally produced video content come up when people type your company's name into a search bar, is, well invaluable.

A lot of work goes into creating a professional video, a podcast and a long-form editorial about each startup.

Come and join the journey by following us on youtube: youtube.com/startupsoflondon

...and while you are there take a peek at some of London's top startups such as Seedlegals, Joblab, Soldo, Chargedup, ForwardHealth, Elder, Feast-it, Lavanda, iProov, Perlego, Citizen.me, Increasingly, Ucreate and more...

I have companys talking good things about themselve all the time. Its like a PR-Talkshow. The tech is rotten to the core, and its constantly failing - resulting in massive tech debt.

Words are like money, if you print them with no backing up value, you might aswell save the paper. The design of the backnotes does little to the value.

But if you print "Why mar currency? Cause we can." on the notes, the customers might appreciate the honesty, and give you back a little of another currency that is trust.

I do not trust any company talk anymore at all.
So print all the money you want, but you cant buy anything in my shop, thank you.

In context: “when you have still few effects related to it they can't accept to eutanize you because you are not in a quality of life threating condition”

All people over 75 (and, probably, way earlier) are slowly losing their mind. Early stage dementia isn’t that different from ‘just’ aging in that.

The ethical dilemma with living wills is that they always state a past opinion. It also is well-known from various studies that opinions on when you deem your life worth it shift tremendously over time.

With dementia, locked-in syndrome, etc, that’s a catch-22, as there’s no way to ask you about your opinion, or even to know whether there is someone to have an opinion anymore.

So, that you say “If I get wheelchair-bound/bedridden/don’t know my name anymore, I don’t want to live anymore” now doesn’t imply at all that you will think the same if it were to happen to you.

⇒ If you have a living will, be sure to regularly acknowledge or update it.
One way publishers could get me, a Millennial, back into their good graces is to actually put some effort into their publishing. As in, if you're not even going to publish a paper copy of this article, but still going to charge >$1000 for "open access" rights, then at least go the extra mile and start making eReader versions of them.

I would LOVE to use my kindle to read journal papers. Many books have well formatted text with figures interspersed. It would benefit the scientific community so much to be able to use them regularly.

(Note that PMC does this, and while I wish the figures were placed correctly rather than at the end, it's a great start!)

Not that 3 hours of simulator training would have helped in either crash. The problem wasn't that the ipad course was inadequate training for the new procedures (as he said there were no major procedural differences), but that any mention of MCAS had been removed from the manual to avoid needing new or modified procedures.

Even worse, MCAS was designed to be near-impossible to override, using data from only one sensor, to avoid the need for procedural changes.

Reading the tour[1], I got the impression of being struck by something not that surprising, but still fundamentally groundbreaking.

Beyond just the idea of a global program store (which I hope has space for some virtualenv equivalent), the cleverness of effect handlers as a first-class language feature is very exciting.

Once the type system is more mature, this could easily be the next kind of Haskell - a language which redefines modern ideas of good programming.

At that time, Linux on laptops was an absolutely great choice.

None of your vendors were considered viable - far, far too expensive. However, Linux on x86 laptops at the time was amazing - portable Linux.

So when Apple joined that party, and made the hardware neat, it was an easy switch. Portable, PPC-based, Unix. This was a delightful moment.

Of course, I still have a Linux laptop around, and 20 years later .. I consider moving back to it, 100%. The ride has been good with Apple, but the horizon doesn't look too great ..

Did you know that army medics are 3x more likely to be diagnosed with PTSD than army infantrymen encountering combat? Likewise being a combat medic/doctor isn’t an illness. There is no discussion of eliminating those jobs to save people from mental health illnesses. Even if those jobs and/or debt were eliminated there is no reason to suggest the persons at potential risk of such illnesses would cured from the risk of such.

Teenage homosexuality is another high suicide pattern. Nobody is suggesting treating juvenile sexual orientation.

Since suicide is the result of mental health illness and mental health illnesses are a medical problem would you agree that it’s safe to say it is something that demands medical attention? Medical doctors treating that condition don’t throw the patient into a finance class to hear about managing debt or give the patient money to relieve the financial distress. The subject of financial crisis isn’t treated at all.

Many things can have an effect on persons with illnesses. The goal of a doctor is to treat the illness and lower the pain. They do this through a combination of observation, medication, and counseling.

Ignoring the medicine and medical aspect of suicide to focus purely on financial management, as so many in this thread suggest, will likely result in a sharp increase in suicidal completion.

If advocating against such harm and ignorance costs me all my HN karma I am ok with that. I am not afraid of being stuck in an echo chamber.

Also, this prophecy didn't come true. If anything it was completely ass-backwards - it's about the quality of the 737 MAX sim, not the plane itself, and it looks like Boeing's engineers believed internally that Boeing shouldn't have pushed so hard to release it given that existing 737 pilots didn't need simulator training on the MAX and felt safer flying on the MAX with pilots trained on the NG than they did about flying with MAX-simulator trained pilots. You may recall that the general narrative is that the crashes were, in part, the result of Boeing's desire to avoid MAX-specific simulator training.
> ZFS is the ultimate "pet" in the pets vs. cattle continuum. in a world where shoddy engineering and "break things fast" is the zeitgeist,

Live storage is never 'cattle', that is idiotic your running filesystem IS actually a pet. Harddrives are 'cattle' and that's exactly what ZFS treats like 'cattle'.

ZFS was born out of long frustrations with file system and was systematically designed to protect against data corruption and bad hardware. It is literally the exact opposite of 'move fast and break things'.

Go and actually watch the videos where the designer show it for the first time. It speaks very clearly about how and why they designed it.

> i would not risk any of my personal treasured data to ZFS due to inherent existential threats. i would implore ZFS users to evaluate and test their setups, and especially use ECC RAM - like, starting now - to protect their assets.

ZFS has always recommended ECC to its users. No filesystem can protect you from not having it.
Financing a UBI is extremely difficult. It makes more sense to raise the minimum wage and introduce a "guaranteed minimum wage". It would be very similar to a UBI except you need a job and it only covers 1/2 of the difference between what a job pays and the official minimum wage. The downside is that there is still a lot of room for abuse but earning a $ through working is still twice as valuable as earning a dollar through the minimum wage so in the end economics prevail and a welfare trap is avoided. It also means that if you hate your job you can switch to a lower paid one and still receive some support. Bad jobs will face a lower supply of workers which will force companies to raise their wages to match the working conditions.

It isn't "literally" a 2D space. It is "topologically" a 2D space in that you could represent it as a 2D space without loosing information. It doesn't provide 6 degrees of freedom but it is very much experienced as a 3D game environment.

EDIT also, using the term "literally" to talk about 3Dness when it is all rendered onto a 2D screen, is fairly precarious. No matter how many degrees of freedom, or how rendered, it will never be "literally" 3D, in the literal sense of the term.

Sorry for the slow reply.

Most of what I've done has been for clients that want to document how to accomplish something specific with a company's library or API. Usually this ends up being 1200-1500 words including detailed instructions and code samples.

A few weren't product specific, but instead about how to accomplish a specific task with React or Angular. Companies pay for articles like these because they hope to attract customers by providing useful information to developers. I think that's a fair trade, as long as the article is actually good and teaches something new to the people who read it. Personally, if I've read a good article or blog post I don't mind if the company mentions their own products at the end. It's not like they're forcing me to but anything. :)

I've done one whitepaper as well, though I'm not sure that qualifies as 'technical writing'. More like writing a high level topic that is about a technical subject, but aimed at managers and executives who are thinking of adopting that product or technology.

I'm not advocating the removal of treatment for people in debt, I'm just saying that mental health illnesses are exacerbated by stress and money problems can be a huge source of stress.

You have to treat the entire patient, it's the difference between the nightingale and peplau schools of nursing: the patient is not just their symptoms, they are a complete human who has to be treated to prevent recidivism in to a dangerous mental state.

Without the stresses of financial debt I'm not suicidal, I'm depressed and have anxieties and impulses, but one of those impulses isn't suicidal ideation.

In this instance, the diagnosis is an anxiety disorder, not suicidal ideation, but the addition of a second aspect - the debt - can severely increase the chances of the symptom of suicidal ideation occuring.

Again: people with mental health illnesses should be treated for those illnesses, but we also can't ignore the family practicioner and governments role in ensuring that people in financial hardship have the support that they need.

As they say, a small amount of prevention is worth a lot of cure: I imagine the cost on the government to help with the debt is lower than the cost on the government to deal with the mental health issues exacerbated by the debt.

There is no discussion of eliminating those jobs to save people from mental health illnesses.

In the UK, ex combat medics receive government funded psychotherapy with specially trained mental health practitioners who deal specifically with people who have worked as medical professionals on deployment. So there are some countries pioneering the treatment of patients with a higher risk profile for mental health illnesses. I was for 5 years a combat medical technician with the royal logistics corps and I've had this treatment first hand.

Edit: again, sorry if I don't make sense in some areas, I'm trying very hard :)
Yep, zero resistance: plaintext, with context, metadata, keywords, minimal formatting, grep and a few scripts. The most important thing to remember is that I don't remember everything, so write it down, and use sensible filenames/hierarchy/tags/metadata so it can be found easily.

The less temptation to play with CSS, formatting and markup the better. One day it'll all go in a self-contained minimal wiki. Maybe.

On my android phone I use an ancient app called "unote" (installed from an .apk which I keep, it's long since disappeared from Play). Simple, hierarchical plaintext notes, kept in a local sqlite file. Sadly no search, but that just means I have to be disciplined about what, where and pruning.

You're not going to get very far blaming the addict. People who choose to work at Facebook are another story.
On a related note, I haven't seen any publisher or content producer sell "licence only" i.e. I pay them for the right to be able to own/view the content. This could either be a "buy direct, acquire elsewhere" or "pirate first, pay later".

In theory this would be a major win for the content creator. 100% revenue going directly to them with no overhead for distribution, infinitely scalable (to stress: _in theory_, I am aware that this would play out differently in practice).
If there is a set of standard libraries, wouldn't they be cached in the browser anyways?
Algebraic effect handlers no doubt seem to be the future of getting side-effects under control in programming languages, much like in the way of what immutability has done for data.

My (admittedly little) experience with Unison though is that it's far from ready for the spotlight however. Much of the docs 404, and joining their discord mostly resulted in the advice to wait for future releases.

I wish Microsoft would invest in something like the koka language https://github.com/koka-lang/koka. Perhaps the idea of content-addressable / immutable code could find a place too, but I think it's less critical.
As long as they give pilots proper training, I'd actually rather fly on the recertified MAX than certain other Boeing planes.

They have gone though the whole plane with a fine toothed comb, Identifying any other potential problems. It will probably be the safest Boeing in the sky.

This whole MAX situation has made me very nervous about flying on the 787 (built in the same era) or the 737 NG (while it lacks MCAS, something else could theoretically put the stabilizer massively out of trim, and this whole situation has proven pilots have problems recovering from out-of-trim stabilizers)
