Tea for God does not use redirected walking (it is still awesome though!). Redirected walking is specific term for specific mechanics. It is about using the allocated playing area in the best way, by distorting the mapping between real world and VR in subtle way, so that player doesn't even notice it. For example, turning your head might result in less rotation in VR if player is near the edge of play area, to encourage player to turn more and face away from edge. Distances can also be distorted so that small step towards edge results in larger VR forward movement. Smaller spaces require more distortion, which results in nausea with some people.

Tea for God takes into account player area and builds whole worlds into that small space, connecting different rooms and corridors using non-euclidian geometry. The critical difference is that 1:1 mapping is still preserved.

As far as I'm aware there is still no redirected walking demo/app/game available for Quest.
Hmm. I usually think of "imperative" as "as opposed to declarative", and sequential ordering is one of its hallmarks in that context. And for Clojure atoms specifically I think of "functional" as in Okasaki's "purely functional data structures".

This may be good if you know all your rect sizes in advance. But it seems like it will quickly fall apart if you have rectangles that need to change their size based on content, especially if that content is multiple levels deep.

Say you have a floating toolbar the width of two buttons, which themselves are the width of their text contents. You're back to square one — you have to measure the text of each button, then measure both buttons and finally you have the size of the toolbar.
Don't forget filenames that start with a dash... Usually you need to remember to put "--" in every single command invocation.
Sidewalk is carrying all kinds of data from other users. You have absolutely no idea what. It’s a loosely defined system that Amazon controls remotely at their will. The encryption stops you from snooping like any other TLS traffic, but Amazon itself is the receiver on the other end. And it piggybacks on your own internet connection - 80Kbps is a huge amount of data.

Find My identifiers have a single purpose, are useless to anything but the owners device, cannot be used by Apple for tracking, ads or whatever, and id be surprised if the entire payload after a day out is > 8KB total. These look completely different to me.

After reviewing most of the arguments in favor of a lab leak origin, I eventually concluded that when confronted to their counter arguments, the Occam's razor would be in favor of a natural origin for the sars-cov2.

Indeed, when I heard of the report about WIV workers being sick with covid-like symptom I immediately checked who reported that, and ended up with the same conclusion as you.

While a lab leak origin cannot be entirely dismissed, one should keep in mind that all this fuss is politicaly motivated.
In all honesty, why would they be? Without them addressing anything, the west, particularly the U.S., has had their pitchforks out and ready since day one. With our idiotic president calling it the Chinese virus from the start, why in the hell would China want to be upfront about what they knew about the origin if it indeed was a lab leak? I wouldn’t. That’s all on the assumption that they themselves even knew or know. If our president had been less like a child, it would have been a better environment to get to the truth.

You and others act like this is some elementary school incident where honesty is the best policy. But with politics involved and the already prevalent mass hysteria and propaganda going on everywhere, it makes sense, on a realist and not idealist level, why one would not be forthright.

There’s also the idea that the U.S. was terribly ill-prepared and ill-equipped to handle the virus. The U.S. needs to be prepared for such viruses, no matter their origin, because zoonotic crossover events will remain a possibility with even higher likelihood going forward. My worry is if the virus origin is or is even believed to be of lab-based origin, that will weaken the prerogative and narrative to be prepared for zoonotic diseases. Because then, it was something “done to us” rather than a natural event we should be prepared for, an event which remains a big possibility even if this particular virus was of lab origin.
We weren't talking about gain functions 1.5 years ago. That term has just recently appeared in the media. And now that phrase is the new "scape-phrase".

"Gain function" now means there's now a great way to confuse man-made and natural. I find it both a more concise scientific term, but anathema to politics.
Well, they demonstratabley have.
Spain has a 17.3% high school dropout rate though.[1] So education is an issue. Although yeah, many graduates were also unemployed in the crisis.

I think the crisis was kind of exceptional as everyone was going to be pretty screwed either way. But furthermore, it seems that until you reach a sort of 'critical mass' of educated workers it can be hard for them to find employment as it's hard for the country to attract companies that require an educated workforce.

I think the solution would be to continue investing in education to help reach that critical mass and at the same time make it easier for people to set up new companies, start-ups etc.

Spain is pretty bad for this with the harsh autonomo taxes for people trying to start their own business etc., plus all the bureaucracy which often has to be done in-person and appointments are hard to get etc.

At least it seems like things are improving, although the Coronavirus will be a setback.

>I'm quite sure it does from an anti-trust perspective.

You are incorrect. mistakes, or incompetence, or lack of intent do not excuse behavior that results in harm to consumers or prevents competition, which is generally a significant test for a determination on this sort of thing:

In the US in particular, anti-trust law requires courts to evaluate a situation on the basis of 3 benchmarks to determine if one of them is met for an anti-competitive situation: 1) The Per-Se Rule. 2) The Rule of Reason. 3) The Quick Look.

Number 3 in particular makes it easy to view this situation as anti competitive because here the single most important question under this for of review is whether or not there is injury in the market. The formal test is will a person "with even a rudimentary understanding of economics could conclude that the arrangements in question have an anticompetitive effect on customers and markets" In this case, a customer cannot use their product of choice and a competitor is prevented from competing.

Of course an actual court case could go a variety of different ways, but you say you're quite sure that the anti-trust perspective makes a distinction as the GP comment indicated, you are incorrect.

Crime is on the rise in /all/ American cities, whether they have a progressive DA or not.

The causes are unclear but the widespread effect indicates that they're systemic, not tied to the policies of an individual county or city. And they have nothing to do with increased or decreased aggressiveness in policing (the cops have certainly not backed off in my city, and are as aggressive and well funded as ever, but crime is still up)
Even that analogy makes it sound more severe as it’s a door that you’ve been asked to stay out of. They used a door that they frequently are required to use but for a purpose other than what they were authorized to do. Eg. You can use this door to do A but you use the door to do B.

Or, car analogies! You are given a car for work and told it can only be used for business purposes, but you use it to drive to the grocery.

Good article.

I have seen this situation weaponized in many corporate environments, not only by engineers, but also by business and legal people: "Oh, you don't know about X?" to shut down a contrarian opinion. Rather than explaining X, it is used to socially shame the other (typically honest and sincere) person into silence.

As a senior developer one of the most important things you can do, once you have credibility, is to say out loud when you don't understand something. This allows more junior engineers to admit this as well, and helps control system complexity in the face of a conspiracy of the imposter syndrome.

The article is doing exactly that. The biggest theory now is not a lab leak theory but simply that the virus was created in a lab. Any connection to a lab leak is some logical conclusions after finding out it a lab is the most likely source. Tensions always get high for a few days after new information is found and then those tensions fade away. Looking to Twitter for your scientific research and a healthy debate is like going to the bathroom to learn how to cook food. It’s simply not equipped to help further a debate, it mostly only lets people post what they believe themselves. We can’t judge a theory by its supporters. We all understand the mean guys in movies are always the ones wrong but in the real world you always get mean guys on the right and wrong side, and they are easy to find on social media websites but that doesn’t interfere with actual research, not that there aren’t mean researchers as well.
I disagree. As a bootstrapped SAAS founder, company makes decent profits and I don't worry too much about Venture Backed competition even though there are plenty. Yes, you cannot compete with VC backed competitors on "growth" numbers but OP asked about Profitable SAAS business which has nothing to do with Venture capital.

"the days of having your own little saas as passive side income are long behind us"

You are so far off. In fact, I think the days of small/profitable/bootstrapped SAAS businesses are just starting. A lot of people are realizing that the glamor of VC is not worth the hassle and if they are looking to create a decent income for themselves with entrepreneurial freedom, it is definitely possible now. In fact, almost everyone expects to pay for subscriptions these days (we can argue whether its good or bad). It is much easier to start a SAAS business today with barrier to entry being so low. Of course, it is extremely hard to get success with it but that's the case with any business.

Saying "$origin virus" is _definitely_ easier to remember than - say - something like "Covid19".

Except that we were told that using "$origin" was racist, so we had to stop, and we had to use the non-easy-to-remember version.

Where we are the media has been happily talking about "the British variant" and "the Indian variant", but no-one seems to be calling _that_ racist. At least no-one who the media cares about.
In the context of this article, "average user" and "power user" does not have much meaning. Take the copy-paste example. One group of users is going to find paste-with-formatting more practical while another group of users is going to find paste-without-formatting more useful. The distinction has more to do with the task at hand than the ability of the user. Consider someone working withing a document or within a set of documents for a project. Losing formatting means they will have to go back to recreate it. Now consider someone pulling information from various sources. Maintaining formatting means a loss of consistency in the destination, so it is less desirable.

As for the opinion of average verses power users, I suspect it has a lot more to do with expectations. Power users are more inclined to expect software to do work for them, while the average user seems to be willing to work for the software. As an example, take a table that spans multiple pages. Power users will expect an option to add the table heading on each page, while the average user will do it themselves manually (even if the feature exists and even if they have to redo the work each time the page boundaries change).

Ask HN: Do you run apps bare metal?
So, I am working on a side project and the way I deploy my (golang) application is basically:

- build binary

- copy binary, config files and static assets to the production server

- do blue green deployment (with nginx) to get zero-downtime deployment

- profit

(This is automated of course! I use Ansible, and I can easily rollback if needed. I can also deploy the same app to multiple machines if needed).

On my local machine I use Docker to test the Go code, but I don't really see the benefit of deploying my Go app in a container. My colleage told me "it's easier to deploy Docker containers. You just pull the image and voila!". I don't see how my approach could be "more complicated". Also, isn't my approach better in terms of performance? If my golang app runs "bare metal" instead of via a container, then sure the performance should be better, right?

Nice strawman. Now, how would you restructure the let bindings (without the println) at https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/let#example-542692c7c02... equivalently?

Throwaway account here.

Can you explain what this mythic “throb of injustice” is that keeps the white man in power?

What I experience today is:

* government policy that is openly racist against white and asian men (affirmative action)

* Racist “diversity” campaigns today that are veils for “we want less white men but can’t straight up say that.”

* Hate from people of color, since the narrative is my “white male privilege” is the only reason for any success in my life. Every other major contributor to it is sidelined.

I have also still not found someone able to explain why white male leadership is a problem when it well reflects the entry workforce 40 years ago. Current diversity metrics for new grads will feed up management chains in 40 years and so on.

These are tangible policies and sentiment I can point to that directly and overtly discriminate against me because of my identity. Your comment tries to paint a rosy picture of doing so. There is no thought to my economic background, how hard I’ve worked, etc. Just you’re a white privileged man so you deserve less opportunity for leadership positions.

It seems incredibly and overtly racist to me, but I’m open to changing my mind.

This implies a model of the world in which education causes prosperity. The fate of large parts of Central Asia, the Caucasus and Mongolia after the end of the subsidies from Russia suggests this doesn’t work that well. Broad based high levels of education weren’t great for Ireland either last century. There were at most three decades 1900-2000 when Ireland didn’t export its people. By contrast China got rich explosively fast once with a population that mostly hadn’t finished primary school starting in the 1980s.

The evidence that education causes prosperity is at best weak. People like to buy education once they have money for similar reasons to west they like to buy nicer houses or travel, intrinsic enjoyment and conspicuous consumption.
