My wife had that problem with fog and we found an adapter on Amazon that had vents around the padding and it fixed it.

I don't know what the focus thing is about, though, unless the headset is shifting around on your head, and the fix for that is a new strap. The stock strap is pretty meh.

On the Wii, the killer experience for most people wasn't Mario Bros, but was Wii Sports. On the Quest, there's a lot of games that let you use your body well, such as Walkabout Minigolf or Beat Saber. Alyx is good, but not as compelling as the sports games, IMO. It also plays on the computer and requires a wire or a good router and has occasional problems because of that link. Games that play directly on the headset are generally less frustrating.

People still live in hundred years old "used" houses in Europe and they are generally more valuable than new houses.

In much of Europe the core of a city is much more expensive than the periferia.

What's "smaller"?

It appears substantially more than half the country lives in a metro area smaller than the Columbus, OH MSA.

You would have to be mad to associate your benad new vision of the future of computing with a failed 10 year old game.
People in tech, especially VCs, have this weird habit of seeing something simple (like music sharing, or Roblox) and instead of taking away the simplest lesson (people like free music, games are fun) they feel compelled to extrapolate some sort of vision of the future from it (people love P2P tech! Roblox isn’t just a bunch of games kids like, it’s a _metaverse_!) It’s certainly a fun job to have, massively overthinking everything all the time, but I’m not sure the results bear out.
The Kia e-Niro is fantastic, at a fraction of the price of a Tesla. It's been so popular that it's been selling out in a lot of places.

I also hear good things about the Hyundai Kona, which is quite similar in terms of build and features. (They share a bunch of tech, I believe.)

Volkswagen's newest model, ID.4, is now being sold in the US. It's great.

The Chevy Bolt is not the latest tech, but I hear a lot of people are happy with it.

In Europe, of course, the variety is much greater: In addition to the above, you also have the Peugot e-208, Nissan Leaf, Opel Corsa-e, Škoda Enyaq, Ford e-Mach, Audi e-tron, Jaguar I-PACE, Polestar, etc.
The point is not that all their ancestors were native to that particular spot in central Asia, but more that they were members of the central Asian ethnic group rather than an ethnic group from further west, closer to the origins of agriculture and the technologies behind some of their material culture.

So this is about the dissemination and transfer of technology between ethnic groups more than it's about geography. By native they mean central Asia, not the Tarim Basin.

Basically right. And every time the platform changes, terraform has to implement it too! And more often than not, it's supported in the providers implementation than terraform.

I think terraform was better before, but now CloudFormation for me is good enough, so I don't see the point of Terraform.

Cloudformation also has Drift detection now and I really dislike Terraforms state files.
How expensive was it to produce the movies compared to the books? What was the ROI as a ratio?
This is a good question to ask, if not rhetorical.

When practicing rigorous measuring, quantities need to be quantifiable aspects of the world. For example, you can quantify how much physical space your code or compiled output takes up in memory, and use these quantities as base units to derive others. By branching from a quantifiable root, you can derive metrics such as lines of code or number of CPU instructions, and they’d still retain those quantifiable aspects. Meaning there’s a clear path to the quantifiable root.

Needless to say, readability, as a metric, is not branched from quantifiable aspects of the world. So in a sense, it is still a “made up” metric because (as of today), there’s no way to trace it down to the quantifiable measurements.
But why not just Cloudformation then? What advantage does Terraform provide over Cloudformation in your opinion?

> A "country" doesn't "decide" to make an asset class appreciate or depreciate. It's always been driven by supply and demand.

But it does. The supply is partially driven by speculators who bet on the prices continuing to grow. Currently, a lot of people are buying more expensive houses than they need
because "house is a good investment". This (the speculators) can be easily stopped with a policy - e.g. tax heavily all profits from real estate sales, incl. primary residences. If taxes make it next to impossible to profit on increase of house value (the profit goes to treasury and not to seller), then the market would significantly cool down.

The fact that we (for example) tax heavily income from work, but not from real estate speculation, is a CHOICE.

And "outside" could actually mean in the living room or garage, building things, too. I learned a lot of things just watching my dad repair houses and handing him tools. He just needed to get it done to get on to having fun, and didn't think to include me in the actual work most of the time unless he thought it'd speed things up, but I still learned quite a lot from it.

It could also mean art or music.

And finally... It could still be on the computer, making digital art, video games, writing novels, etc, instead of just playing games and chatting. Learning to create the experiences is hard, but the reward for having created them is pretty compelling and the skill carries across different softwares pretty easily, setting them up with those skills for life.

I was looking into doing something similar with Nomad recently since lately I have been using systemd to launch containers and managing that config with some janky shell scripts. How are you configuring everything to run on a single server, including consul? Isn't Nomad designed to to run on multiple servers or are you running nomad in multiple containers on your VPS? When I looked into this previously I got to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56112422/nomad-configura... which has some suggestions for running Nomad on a single node but generally recommends against it.
Cities or suburbs?

I believe a majority in the US lives in a metro area of at least 100,000 people, but only about 30% appear to live in a city of at least 100,000 people.

Hah, is this the best passive-aggressive threat gen Z can hint at? You're gonna commit some kind of genocide of old people? Wow. I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

We're in a funny moment, because my generation didn't want children; also, we assumed (wrongly) that not wanting to pollute the world with children was a sound ecological and moral decision. The boomers older than us had kids en masse and let them be raised by wolves (or Facebook). So gen x was basically skipped and now is being told what to do by the spoiled spawn of those hellish narcissists. The torch has been passed to this generation of hellicopter-raised, angry, historically ignorant (viz. your comment) whiners about micro-aggression who casually reference mass murder as a possible solution to stuff they don't like on the internet.

Yeah, there are examples of generations like yours massacring their elders, but there's no precedent for one so incredibly passive-aggressive doing so.

That matches my experience. If you see a doctor, they'll try doing whatever their flowchart says to do, and if it doesn't work, they tell you to go away. You'd get results at least as good from just looking at the flowchart yourself.

I did see a dermatologist when the skin on one of my fingertips started peeling uncontrollably. He told me 'We call this "desquamation", which just means "it's peeling". We don't know why it happens or what might make it stop.'

It was a less than ringing endorsement of the idea that if you have a skin problem, you should see a dermatologist.

So what’s the likely cause then? I’d guess a design flaw in the system and it leaks keys somehow.

Can second it, its properly effortless and becomes second nature. Gives much more control over the engine.

>sigh. Sure, Linux tells you to “bake it yourself” but at least the Linux hands you the tools to do it and if you follow the instructions, the tools definitely do what you expect of them. I fear Windows just isn’t quite there.

Probably something most of people here can't relate to, but this is something I'm always grateful for all the "modern" language toolings, as someone that is not a dev and uses Windows.

I now can just download source code of various open source projects if in Go/Node/Python, and just run/compile it. They work fine most of times.

I never had the same confidence for any C++ projects, even when the author themselves also use Windows, which is unlikely. I almost never make them work/compile successfully. If the binary isn't provided I just feel doomed.
Personably I kinda like the fact that it’s a relational DB. The stuff you gain by having users only allowed to do certain things based on certain fields using Policies makes life a lot easier and more relaxing.
There are a few quite interesting arguments hidden in that article, that are genuinely worth taking a closer look at.

This writer is obviously more concerned with creating a stir, and riling up people - rather than actually making a point.
I can actually understand Apples decision here to not allow push notifications on PWAs and would support it for now. I have two smartphones and am a dual user of iOS and Android. The issue with Android apps is the constant stream of unwanted/advertising notifications. Yes, you can configure them for each app and disable notification categories, but I just don't want to mess with that for each and every app (and their Updates which might change categories).

Apple's Appstore rules forbid push-notification for marketing/advertising, and I get way less useless notifications by default on iOS. On Android, I often get notifications from major Appmakers in the sort of "We haven't seen you for a while, checkout what you miss in our App!" or "There is a competition in our App, take part and win a free XXX). Yes, you can disable notifications as a whole for an App, but that would also disable those notification that I want to receive and are essential.

If you would allow PWAs installed from outside the Appstore to send push-notifications, major 3rd party app makers would abuse that as means to "increase engagement" (their marketing lingo for spam) with their users.
I'm kinda disappointed how Hacker News derailed into a mob mentality towards the metaverse concept because big evil Facebook touched it. I, for one, celebrate the new age beyond text and (sometimes moving) pictures and can't wait to move into (shared) experiences.

Sure, I'd rather have it be a cool start-up, but they are all chasing their tails to become unicorns these days. I was there when Second Life peaked and the potential of experience-based communication (instead of just information based) is incredible. I can't wait for Facebook to raise the bar on that, like they did with VR.

To be totally fair, I did recently seek help for recurring pain in the back of my head (also the top of the neck, but I described it as the head) and the urgent care nurse did some simple nerve damage tests, asked me about my sleeping posture, and told me the problem was likely that I was sleeping wrong and I should take a different position. He was right.

Of course, he wasn't a doctor either. :/

If you want to turn the tables on your Chinese-born dentist, ask him about the Chinese habit of stopping by the hospital for intravenous saline solution whenever you're feeling like you might have a cold.

Text is definitely a more versatile, low-effort, high-value and ubiquitous medium that will never be beaten for human information exchange. It's perhaps not the best medium for all context but it is the best generic medium for interoperable information exchange (unix was right all along!).

Entertainment is often more enjoyable with rich sensory experiences and some amount of novelty. People with great imaginations are probably the folk who experience books that way but, for everyone else, rich media provides more entertainment value than text alone.

The Metaverse is entertainment. It might be great for parties, games and other virtual interactions/experiences but it's definitely more a medium for novelty and sensory excitement than for pure information exchange alone (obviously).
> It's amazing to me that Roku has the plurality of the US streaming market (37%), yet its development ecosystem is so terrible.

Step 1: be a cheap (the cheapest?) option in the early phase of a market. This way you build up a sizeable customer-base using a market-segment with low/no expectations.

Step 2: app-developers will be forced to support your platform, despite low-quality platform, ecosystem or SDK if they want to be “everywhere”.

Step 3: With better/more popular apps supporting your platform you can start making more expensive devices or even sell/rent your platform to other players needing a checkbox to check before they can launch (ie smart-TVs).

Roku is really crap to use, but by playing by this book they’ve seemingly done well (as a business) so far.
There are high-density foam mattresses which are firmer than most spring mattresses.
Countries can easily affect the market in this case and there are incentives to do so.

Things like zoning laws, property taxes, taxes on investing in property all affect overall prices, it's never going to be pure supply and demand.

For example if a region/country wants to keep prices down, heavily tax second/third/fourth homes. Or provide tax incentives to new builds.

Then there's interest rates, one of the reasons that property prices in many countries are increasing is that the interest rates are low, so people looking to invest can't get a good return on their investment in "traditional" locations, so they turn to buying property to rent out.

Switzerland is in Europe, but not in the European Union or the European Economic Area, it is in the Schengen area. So it depends a bit on which list you are taking.

Also, parent said it is the richest in EU which of total value (GDP) is correct, but by GDP per capita isn't. But, Switzerland isn't first on the list either if you take GDP per capita because that spot is taken by Luxemburg. (Which is 27th on the GDP list)

But parents point still stand, on a median income it is really hard to find a proper place in Europe.
