Augmented reality is the only thing I am excited for, more so than virtual reality is right now (and I say that as someone who has a couple of VR headsets around the house, the Reverb G2 and Valve Index). To me, VR will always be relegated to gaming and solo interactive experiences, augmented reality has already proven itself in fields such as medical and training purposes. Microsoft Hololens has been widely successful in the avenues they have pursued and deployed in, going as far back as 2016. I know some plants are using them for maintenance, if I recall elevator techs using them to repair elevators more efficiently, vehicle mechanics and more.

The positives outweigh the negatives and it is sad to see the article only focuses on the downsides. Find me a technology that doesn't have a negative?
intel's latest mobile chip has 2x thunderbolt 4 ports which are each good for 40Gbit system to system connectivity. this expensive addon is way way behind where the times should be.
Yes, the tooling was the problem. The basic concept of XAML is great in my view. If they only had improved the tooling somewhat and reworked the syntax this would have been a winner.
It's telling how many killer features SQLite has, that so many people are complaining about the comparison for different reasons.
I would imagine it's something similar to Gmail where they'd want to monetize the great deal of information they have about people who use the platform.

My idea is a bit different. We might be able to get our own patent? Maybe? If anyone wants to pay for the patent, I'd be willing to split any future revenue 50/50. Could you take the idea, and do it yourself--yes. I do need something in my life I put energy into though yes! You might be helping out a disenfranchised/poor developer? I reside in the Bay Area.

My email is dandunphy@comcast.net

(On another note, I have felt for awhile Patents, and Trademarks, should be tied to income, and number of patents applied for. A poor person, like myself, pays just as much as Google for a patent. Crazy? I would like to see patent fees on a graduated scale. Companies that spit out patents daily would be charged much more for every patent. For instance, Google's first patent would be $1000. After 10 the price is 1 million per patent. After 20 the price per patent is 100 million.)

That is extremely strange. Weighing in from an iPhone XS here on the latest iOS, I cannot understand how it is humanly possible to type the numbers fast enough they aren't picked up. I just tried to do it, pressing 3+6+9= as fast as I could, and I could not manage to get it to not detect my taps. I wonder if you have a defective screen? I have no other explanation
Very tempted to add 'background-size: cover' to the developers site background but may take away from the 90s authenticity.
The best way to ruin a well run industry is introducing taxes. Just let it be. We've endured 25 years of BS to get this far and all the taxes in the world didn't help.

Nobody checks constant notifications on their VR headset; few people mindlessly flip through content streams or empty games on it. The fact that VR is so cumbersome means it gravitates towards more intentional experiences. You decide you want to do X, so you set up your headset and do it. I say this as an owner of one myself.

Of course the more the technology improves the less true this becomes. But for now there's a meaningful difference.
That's cap and trade, right?

Ditto, I've no desire at all for web applications--or heaven forbid clients--to poke directly at a database or cache, or otherwise obviate the need for APIs. One will need to deploy, scale, monitor, and secure those things very differently from one another.

I feel like here, the same as with the new Macbook Air (https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/), the 2-3 column website has no place anymore. The 2 right models here are the same except for the SSD size, which you can change anyway in the next step. The CPU can be made easily a choice as well in the tech spec choosing page.

It made sense with different-size screen for example, or when the matrix of incompatible choices could be too complex (e.g. large screen cannot have the smallest SSD), but at this point it feels like things would become a lot better if instead you just had a single product page and picking the specs here.

Pokemon Go is fully 5 years old. It's AR feature was a decent gimmick but pretty basic and a bit buggy. In the subsequent 5 years there's been nothing to equal it. I won't say AR is "dead" but it seems unlikely to reach mainstream adoption any time soon.
Please don't take HN threads into flamewar. It's tedious and evokes worse from others. We're trying for the opposite here.

Yes, the objects are notes, but the verb is create. That being said, I don't see why the underlying terminology which is essentially more like a programming language keyword has to seep through to the UI.
This is a disaster for ad tech outside Google, Apple, and Amazon: Google and Apple still have tons of targeting data in a world without FLoC, and smaller ad tech will wither on the vine. That's fine, or maybe it's not. There's always tradeoffs, but it's strange to me how little coverage there is of how this is exactly the end game the 'regulation is bad' crowd predicted.
Last time I checked (years ago), apps using ttk widgets (rather than old tk widgets) look nearly native on Windows, but still ugly on Linux (matching neither GTK nor Qt themes).
.NET carries a lot of baggage, but .NET Core is absolutely awesome. I would really encourage everyone to give it a try. I have personally used Blazor and its really good. Not to mention building WebAPIs with ASP.NET Core and EntityFrameworkCore.

Most of your dev needs will be met by .NET Core.

I agree - text chatting is the first foot in the door. It's non-committal, but gets you the ability to voice chat when you feel up to it.

Things like TS and Vent is voice-chat-first and thus, you will only join _after_ you've made friends to voice chat with online in some other platform (like irc or a game). There's no TS community, since it's purely utilitarian, unlike discord.
You can compute things by moving rocks around and placing them just so. (or using an abacus, etc)

Therefore (if you accept that intelligence is computable) there could be an intelligent mind denoted by a sufficient number of rocks over a sufficient period of time, even if it took billions of years to have a thought.

This is not the first time I'm hearing the difference between a an olympic medalist and a 4th place is just a hundredths of a second. The difference between a 10x and 1x is orders of magnitude. That will be the difference between an Olympic medalist and a college athlete. Here's a video that demonstrates such gap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i93vF0WOX6w

How does freedom for the user-who-is-not-a-developer to change the source work, then? The FSF fundamentally assumes the user is a developer. Hell, look at the vast majority of the GNU software. I wouldn't say it's at all targeted at not-developer users.

For context, that is nearly half of a billion dollars worth, it is hardly a small amount. Try selling half a billion dollars of anything on short notice and you'll observe similar market reactions. I think that the fact that the market swallowed up that kind of volume is indicative of Bitcoin becoming more mature in a market sense, not less.

The biggest issue I had picking up C# over the last year (and still have) is figuring out the MS ecosystem. There’s three different frameworks for everything, all of which are either incomplete or to be deprecated.

Arguing over which one is “freedom” is a petty exercise in trying to claim the moral high ground. Instead, it’s more objective and accurate to say that GPL and BSD represent two different ideologies, and that the AGPL is definitely designed to promulgate the “GPL” ideology, so that it’s inability to be incorporated into BSD-licensed software is a feature and not a bug from the perspective of the people who choose to license their code as AGPL.
There's some amount of USD reserves that would make this scheme work. Certainly with $100T it would work. Might it work with only a few billion? Hard to guess. I was surprised how little reserves seemed to be needed to make Tethers work.

The proposal addresses how to discourage consumer withdrawals. But at some point currency traders will get involved and find ways to short the new currency. In the past, traders have created runs on the treasuries of large countries who were propping up their currency.
If speculators realize there's a bubble, they'll short it and thereby make money when it collapses.

> I wanted to try to a server backend with it, but I was lost as to which framework to use (ASP.net / .NET Core / .Net 5) so I ended up choosing neither.

The new C# tutorials have solved a lot of this issue just by completely skipping over the legacy parts of .NET (.NET Framework & ASP.NET) and using the CLI to create a new project.

You install .NET 5 (for context, it's just a newer version of .NET Core with the naming realigned), and then write `dotnet new webapi` which will create a new ASP.NET Core API project.

It is a specific instance of supply and demand dynamics that may not be immediately obvious.

Disappointed that the forum link doesn't work -- I had my post all composed in my head!
For those that care, Framework is the old original .NET for Windows; Core is the new multiplatform .NET; Standard was an, ahem, standard, for writing code that would work under both Framework and Core.

Since the release of .NET 5 "unifies" Framework & Core (for some value of n), there is no longer a need for Framework, Core, nor a unifying Standard.
I used a few operating systems that were considered "complete," in their time, without a TCP/IP stack or multiple user support. Come to think of it, I don't think they had process schedulers either
Last package of 2032s I bought had a foul-tasting coating on them that is supposed to make small children instantly spit them out. Is that not standard nowadays? Not sure how effective it is as I was not brave enough to lick them myself.
My gut tells me that that patent falls afoul of the "with a computer" problem (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/supreme-court-sm...). Replace computer with human and they sound ridiculous.
You've gone from saying "C# and .Net (CLR) were absolutely written/meant to be portable" to "CLI was absolutely designed to be cross-platform." I feel you are not arguing in the spirit of my assertion that "C# was never intended to run everywhere" Sure, it was designed cross-platform so it would run on Dos/Windows ME and Windows NT.
Why should someone like you get to decide how anyone else chooses to spend their ~75 years of existence though?

This whole post is just a statement of intent to manipulate people through other means "for their own good".

When you have a stack like this, Blazor goes into additional dimensions of productive. Every F5 of the app is a complete stack running without any frustration in setting up databases, containers, message buses, etc. None of the concerns regarding scalability apply when you plan to go vertical.

I would not currently argue for developing blazor server apps as a replacement for 100% of web applications. But, there are situations where you have a constrained user base and predictable performance characteristics which provides enough confidence to go all-in on a single fast box.

The mistake being made is that audio based AR is here and practical, if underutilized. Apple’s transparency mode (and competitor equivalents) is a critical innovation both on usability and social acceptance levels. It supports the blending of digital augmentations on the real world. Audio based AR is also free of many social signs that visual AR systems have struggle with. In particular, I work with teenagers and there seems to be little stigma around holding a conversation with earbuds in place.
> Colleges have been teaching Visual Basic as a starter programming language for decades.

Where? In the US, university-level intro to programming would have been in Lisp, Forth, C, C++, and/or Java before possibly trying something else in the mid 2000s, but I struggle to imagine an American university strong in CS touching anything in the VB namespace (5, 6, .NET) whatsoever.
Many important, ground-breaking concepts seem obvious in retrospect.

I doubt that if you surveyed a random selection of economists from the 1950s, they would have been able to describe the phenomenon.
I disagree that positives will outweigh the negatives. AR and VR are more invasive* than mobile phones. If the ubiquity of mobile phones has taught us anything, it's that tech companies will gain even more access to your personal lives. I certainly see a point where tech companies will know you better than you and can predict your behavior with a fair margin of accuracy. I do agree that most technologies have downsides. Having said that, you do need to realize that we're biochemical beings and we are affected more by certain phenomena than others. I am pretty sure most people check their phones first thing after waking up and cell phones for all intents and purposes were virtually non-existent just 20 years ago. AR and VR will only amplify the dopamine hits which rewire our brains into performing certain actions. This will mean more leverage for the tech companies to influence you into doing things you wouldn't have otherwise. Remember that thing from Amazon you bought which you didn't really need? It's only going to become worse.

It wasn't even stagnant for a full 10 years, let alone 20.

Perl 5.8 was released in 2002

Perl 5.10 was released in 2007

It has had a release every year since 5.12 in 2010.

The latest was 5.32 on 2020-Jun-20. (Less than a year ago.)

The book Modern Perl was first released in 2010. It's 4th edition was released in 2015.

Even if you ignored 5.10, there is only 8 years from 5.8 to 5.12 when the yearly releases started happening.

I really don't understand how you managed to get 20 years from any of those dates.

Button batteries and neodymium magnets both are pretty horrifying when taken internally.

I would be curious to see how Apple protects the battery compartment of the AirTag, I'm sure they thought about this.

One podcast was saying that their show subscribers coming in from Spotify was like... 0.x% of total listeners, across several shows. This was sometime last year, things could have changed but to be honest nor everything is a multi-trillion dollar industry and Spotify spending like or is is a pretty good application of wealth redistribution from VCs to artists
I think it exposed exactly the reason why it's so bad to have a browser monopoly.

I hope it will also spur others like Microsoft to reconsider using Chrome's codebase and thus add to browser diversity. Because Google will keep making it harder to cut this stuff out.

I never understood why microsoft was suddenly so hell-bent on rebuilding edge. The engine they used had nothing to do with me not using it. I just didn't want to jump from one corporate toy to another. This still goes except they're marketing it so heavily to enterprises now that it's become the standard browser at work. I still use Firefox there when I can though :)
But VR could also help people achieve maximum hedonic satisfaction at minimal cost and carbon footprint. Your one bedroom apartment could look like Versailles (until you step on a Lego). Your spouse could look like your celebrity sex fantasy. You could simulate any experience that few can afford, like driving a Lamborghini or visiting the Taj Mahal or even visiting the Moon. With VR that goes beyond vision, your healthy vegetarian food could taste like a bacon cheeseburger.
Please don't take this as "whataboutism" -this is a genuine question.

If Mexico or Canada turned into a ferally dis-aligned, departing relationship vis-a-vis the USA, bearing in mind that in times past it had been a paper-thin border, and now its aligning to a political force (eg LAC, or some fictional north-arctic political union) which is strongly oppositional to you, the US, what would you do?

Would you not bulk up your forces close to the border?

because political relationships between Ukraine and Russia are pretty low. I am not trying to lay blame, I'm just observing this is in a very limited sense, "rational" behaviour.

I'm hypothesising something as different as Venezuela, but butting right up to the border.

Probably, for mexico it would be about re-awakening Aztlan dreams of recovery of Texas, or lands north of the Rio Grande.

For Canada, it would be about Alaska and Oil, and a future bridge or tunnel to Russia, or navigation rights through the Arctic, or Assets in Greenland.

Imagine the posture changed: the DEW line, is now 200% more expensive and you're going to be booted out, and loose access to timber, oil and Uranium.. How would the US react?

"reclaim Boston" and a hot border war only 5-10 years old.

Maybe, this is closer to the situation in the war of 1812
I always figured AR would be a replacement for my monitor(s) allowing cool new applications with space and wouldn't leave my workspace. Obviously, there are lots of applications when walking around, but not a whole lot I'd want (given that they can't come up with much that isn't Apple Watch/iPhone strapped to face). Maybe I'll never get my dream of carrying a pair of goggles in my backpack that can let me spread out my work beyond the laptop screen in a hotel room or on a plane.
Aww. I liked "toot", it was kinda whimsical and fun. "Post" sounds a bit dull and corporate by contrast.
