I own a Valve index and have eben running it exclusively on a linux gaming PC for the last couple months. There are problems. The VR games themselves are generally good. Games generally "just work" but some of the other VR bits and pieces are troublesome. Each time I play I have to bounce around menus to enable sound through the headset. And very few media players work in linux (codex issues). Skybox VR works, but not on the latest version of proton. I still haven't figured out how to watch youtube in VR.

I would still recommend VR gaming under linux for all the same reasons I would recommend linux over windows generally, but not to a casual gamer expecting a seamless experience.

I didn't say that if your position is on the opposite side of child abuse and you don't want to change your position that you aren't honest.

Yes, I'm prepared to try and make the strongest argument possible for things I may not fully understand, until I do. Whatever those things make me feel.

Sometimes the strongest arguments have large flaws (mostly moral with you examples) but sometimes we just don't understand the opposing arguments and then just create strawmen to rage against.

I'm opposed to this type of irrational emotional behaviour. It causes things like mob violence which I'm very familiar with.

So when someone can't articulate the opposing views then they need to be warned or directed to do so. If they refuse and run back to a strawmen then yes they are not honest and obviously not prepared.

uMkhonto we Sizwe was a terrorist organization. But they had a very strong argument for why terrorism was an appropriate action.

I don't say that I agree with their use of violence, but they had an argument that makes blanket statements like "terrorism is evil" harder to make.

I'm sure that Midwesterners are super polite to other white people, but it was definitely not my experience there as a minority.

I was born in the US but my ethnicity is visually ambiguous and people assume I'm Mexican, Filipino, or Indian (in that order) based on the type of brown person they grew up with. In CA, no one particularly cares what type of brown person I am. But when I lived in Ohio, I was told that I should "go back home where [I] came from", that I'm one of the good ones and should bring more of my family over, or that I'm "stealing jobs from honest Americans," based on whether the redneck in question thought I was Mexican, Filipino, or Indian. My cousin and his wife, in Indiana, used to experience the same harassment regularly until they started wearing their scrubs everywhere so people would know that they're doctors.

I turned down a very well-paying job in Ohio (and came back to CA) because the people there were so vile.
The "silicon revolution" happened at Bell Labs, rising out of their need to replace vacuum tubes. Shockley only moved to SV because his mother lived there, and she was sick. And it just so happened that Terman invested heavily in making Stanford into a college with heavy links to industry. It is true that military research was a factor in this process (again, semi-coincidentally...Bell Labs invested heavily in military research because they believed, correctly at first, that this would protect them from being broken up...radar was invented, in its modern form, in the UK and developed heavily by Bell Labs/MIT) but there were other factors. SV's pre-eminence looked at from the 1950s was extremely non-obvious however (Boston was the centre of the VC world, MIT and Bell Labs led in research).

> where code review evolved into huge micro-management with inconsistent requirements on what good code looks like.

In my org this can be somewhat of a problem (different teams have different code style guidelines for long historical reasons which can make cross-team changes tricky).

One thing that helped a lot with this is publishing these guidelines in a central location, but more importantly we also made bots that reviewed every code review to point out common mistakes that people made, so reviewers could focus on the change itself instead of naming/spacing nits.

It seems that wages are a lot lower in lower cost of living areas. So what makes it that a developer in SF is much more expansive than the one in, let's say, Chicago?

Or let's flip it around, move the same developer from Chicago to SF and they will suddenly make more money.

I can only imagine that cost of living is the main factor. Naturally there will be a tiny minority of truly brilliant builders and engineers, but we are not talking about them as they are outliers.
Not maybe, it is supply and demand. IF the supply of remote labor does increase then the share of economic profit going to capital also increases. (i.e. Employers keep more of the profits as opposed to sharing)

We don't have account merging yet, as while Matrix can see all of Gitter, we're not exposing the entirety of Matrix into Gitter (mainly because it'd cause the Gitter AWS bill to go through the roof :P). Once Gitter becomes a pure Matrix client, though, you'll automatically be able to use your Gitter.im homeserver credentials to access Matrix, and with account portability (MSC2787[1]) there /may/ end up being a way to combine two existing accounts into one.
It is not. Remember that public schools (they are essentially free for the parents) are competing with private schools that are charging 20k+ per year per pupil. Most people who have to work for a living will not shell out 20k+ or (50-60k if there are siblings involved) simply because they are classist: they see clear advantages in private schools.

This year, most bay area public schools are online. Many private schools are still operating in person. For young children, this makes a world of difference. Just one instance of where private schools come out on top.

> How is reference counting slower than say, mark-and-sweep?

That’s a good question! The answer is pretty interesting. It turns out that there are a number of factors. Speaking in generalities here: reference counting touches pages precisely when you are done using them (thwarting possibly multiple LRU caches), and the deallocation must run interleaved with the mutator, which is a classic slowdown. Garbage collection algorithms like mark/sweep or copying collectors can avoid writing to dead objects, can put any state needed for garbage collection in a contiguous space, and can run “all at once” so the deallocator is not constantly competing with the mutator for cache, etc.

And then there’s the fact that with reference counting you still have to increment / decrement the reference count, and even if you only incref / decref each object once, there are still faster garbage collectors out there (measured by throughput / amortized costs).

This is the explanation for the empirical observation that reference counting is generally not very fast, although there are cases where it works well.

To get back to the original point—the claim that “Rust does use garbage collection” should not be controversial. The fact that you could beat Rust into submission until a garbage collector comes out is not really a counterargument I care to entertain.

> Rust (like all languages) has the capability to build a mark-and-sweep collector if you need it, …

You would have to build a fairly primitive mark-and-sweep collector, or rely heavily on unsafe constructs. You wouldn’t be able to compete with, say, Go or Java, which insert instructions into the generated code to make concurrent garbage collection work (synchronization points).

You would probably be able to compete with implementations like CPython, which has stable pointers, reference counting, and uses mark-and-sweep to collect cycles.

> You can't accidentally get a GC pause in Rust, which is a feature.

It comes with tradeoffs. For example, Rust lets you leak memory, and allocation is slower than in GCed languages.

> …and the answer is very popular and used in enterprises heavily.

That’s selling Java short. There are a lot of reasons why Java is popular, and explaining it in terms of OOP really doesn’t do it justice.

A combination of sensors and actuators to fix the air problem, yes. But where does the internet come into play here? Seems like something 100% local to me.

> the tax rate makes France look reasonable,

France has taxes around 45% of GDP, California has (including all levels, including federal) around 30%, the US as a whole (again, counting all levels) is around 25%. California is one of the higher overall tax jurisdictions in the US, but unless your argument is that the US as a whole has unreasonably low taxes, I don't get how you can say California makes France look reasonable.
I can see this is very useful when I don’t have time to read when driving or don’t want to use my eyes after work. The elephant in the room is how do you cope with articles behind paywall?
Definitely seconding this experience. Induction is great for lots of reasons, indoor pollution only being one.

The small cheap portable induction units have a number of tradeoffs that are not inherent to induction itself, but are more related to.. being inexpensive and portable.

Like the parent here though, we do all of our cooking on a cheap, portable, induction hot plate sitting on top of our gas stove because it is just that much better. I also cannot wait to get a full size version, but this is unfortunately hard when you rent apartments.
I don't understand why people on this thread are discussing installing resistance heat in new housing stock. It is not 1974. Modern heat pumps are cheap, have 300% efficiency even in cold places, and their cost has plummeted. They also double as AC units, which will almost certainly be installed in virtually all new housing anyway.

Yeah, the important part about this is "with more than incidental use of University resources," which, for software, is almost nonexistent. (Even internet usage doesn't count as more than "incidental," which I know is a point that many places use to "suggest" they had a part in the creation.)

Otoh, they are extremely supportive of professors and PhDs (and undergrads, though those are often more software) starting companies based on research, and have very good policies regarding this. Most people end up generally happy on all sides.
Correct. It's still prototype based. Thus making the class keyword actually MORE confusing for people from other languages, IMO.

I agree. Also, there are certain things that simply cannot be cooked on non-gas because they require the food to be cooked directly on the flame. For example Indian rotis - https://youtu.be/ZckBv7JR__0?t=241 - need to go directly on the gas for a few seconds. Until there is a viable solution to that, I don't see Indians (and by extension, an Indian like me who were overjoyed to find a rental unit in the US that had a gas stove!) switching away from gas any time soon. FWIW, ventilation is generally excellent in tropical countries (above a certain standard of living) because the warm weather means large windows and exhaust fans/vents are very common. I'd like to see an experiment controlling for that.
Yep, you're right. However, since Walkie-Talkies' power is around that level, I thought it'd be a good example to build upon.

Regardless of the power level, thinking about spectrum and trying not to create harmful interference is important IMHO. I live in a place where listening FM in stereo mode is impossible due to interference and radio transmissions around me. Even Wi-Fi cannot penetrate beyond next room.

We've looked how spectrum looked here with a listen-only SDR. It wasn't pretty. My friends' exact words were "Dude, that's not what I see at home. This is some serious traffic."
> There's nothing about a unified memory architecture that requires the GPU and CPU to be on the same die, let alone requires the RAM to be in the same package

No, but unified memory does require starving the GPU of bandwidth. There's a reason high end GPUs use different types of memory than CPUs.

Either Apple will be content with Mac Pro not having the absolute graphics performance lead, or they will make a discrete GPU with dedicated memory. I'm not sure which they will choose but I suspect the latter.

> Streaming brings in a fraction of cent per play so his catalog can't be generating more than a million dollars per year at best.

Wow, I think that's wildly off the mark. Bob Dylan probably has several billion streams per year, if not more. On Spotify right now, his top 10 songs have a billion streams. Obviously those did not all occur in a single year, but Dylan's catalogue is deep, and Spotify is hardly the only platform.

One billion streams per year is about $4 million on Spotify.
