The big benefits in my opinion are

It's a gateway "drug" into fitness. You just played a game, then you increased the intensity and did it a bit longer and suddenly you did a 30 minute cardio workout sweating like mad and most importantly the endorphins your body releases during exercise are real as well.
So you are very likely to do it again, and again. And that's the important part, sticking with it.

The second thing is that in the headset time feels different so you are more likely to workout for longer than you would have while doing crunches staring at your living room wall.

And there are already several multiplayer experiences that can be counted as a workout (Blaston, FitXR, VZFit, Holodia and also our game VRWorkout) which adds a whole different level of exercising together.
Plenty of opportunities for coders on the intersection between psychedelics and digital therapeutics, as well as companion apps for psychedelic-assisted therapy.

> Metaverse is coming.

No, VR is coming. The metaverse, as reiterated by the author and self-evidently obvious to anyone who has thought about it, has been here since the 90s, and is the internet. What Facebook is trying to do here is to impose a propietary interoperability gatekeeper layer on top of certain aspects of a VR-enabled internet. But the things they're offering are things that nobody is asking for. They will eventually quietly walk their ambitions back and content themselves with selling good VR headsets with some minimally-attractive Facebook integration.

I'd agree with you if you were talking about generic "commieblock" buildings, but the ones presented in this article are pretty original and have a monumental feel to them. Pretty sad to see your sentiment upvoted this high on HN.
This isn't the first time I've seen this sentiment displayed here on HN with regard to historic European civilization. What I haven't seen is a comparison to other ones. I'm particularly interested in Asian civilization.
The Steam Deck is a generic PC. It's not locked to the Steam store. It's not even locked to the OS it comes with. You can install the Epic store, or any other store, on it right now. If you have one, anyway.
My quest 2 was like 299 and weighs 1lb and doesn't require a computer at all. The workouts especially HIIT and Boxing routines are more engaging to me in VR with my limited on hand equipment and I don't like being in a gym with other people, largely because I want to monopolize the equipment. I think you may be a bit outdated on what VR these days is like.
Arizona gives you both!
Sure they had a “shorter workweek” but it also took women a full workday to wash the family’s clothes, hours of walking to get water for the day, and if you wanted something from the town over that was a 3 day trip.

So many everyday things we take for granted were incredibly difficult and involved a lot of manual labor and/or waiting around for hours and days.

I wonder how much of that leisure time came from being blocked and technology/communications imposing a maximum throughput. You couldn’t work faster even if you wanted to and so you leisured. “Hurry up and wait” as some like to say

PS: there’s also stories of medieval peasants in France basicalky hibernating over winter because if you didn’t sleep for 16 hours every day, you’d burn too much calories and starve[1]. I’m sure that was a very fun reason to have short workweeks

> I'm not sure I'd write them off as a bunch of idiots quite yet.

If you look at the really disruptive innovations in technology, the vast majority of them were not made by incumbents. The iPhone is the shining example against me here, but the examples for me are Netflix, Facebook, bitcoin, heck, the internet itself. Incumbents expend efforts entrenching their positions, protecting their products they're already invested in, preventing disruption. It's baked onto the game fundamentally. And to be a little cynical, I'd argue that an incumbent claiming to be a disruptor is not being honest with you more than likely.

It is a wise thing to bet against incumbents promising to disrupt their own industry because more often than not you'd be right.

No, but you can run your own test, where a neutral "handler" whom the dog has never seen runs his/her own scent tests on the dog's ability. Which should be the defendant's right if dog evidence is presented against him.
I think you'll have no trouble doing that. Boxing is tiring, and you can add leg weights/body vest weights if you want. If you want to push it, then do burpees between rounds to create your own little puke-filled exercise hell.

But the boxing adjusts to your strength level, so it gets quite challenging the further you go requiring a strategy to manage your stamina, or you flame out swinging hard for a knock-out early on. It's exhausting.
This is interesting. I hadn't heard this idea before.

But it also describes another(if you ignore the wording and look at the ideas), simpler explanation, online and offline (plus garbage collection) training for the brain.
Why would you prefer the ebooks to be connected to NFTs? You’d still be relying on someone to store them for you, since the tokens don’t contain the actual work they reference. What am I missing?
article basically ignores quality of life in exchange for "leisure". I could build a crude shelter and be homeless and basically achieve the same thing, turns out most people don't want that.

Fact is most people voluntarily opt in to capitalism because life is better, if you want something close to what the article talks about you can pretty easily move to an Amish community or try creating your own commune and try to convince people to join
> Not that working remotely during the early part of the pandemic slowed down KPS.

LOL, ok, so, they could work just as good remotely, but somehow office work is still a must?

It says they have offices in Germany, doesn't Germany has a law to prevent this sort of thing to avoid extra Covid spread? How did they get an exception for office work if it all can be done remotely via Video Calls?
> A building code change that requires old buildings to be brought up to current code would not run afoul of the prohibition on ex post facto laws as long as any penalties for not complying only apply to non-compliance that occurs after the law is enacted.

My personal experience having owned multiple properties is that code changes rarely, if ever work the way you are describing. I've actually renovated a few kitchens, and had to deal with GFCI because the law around the permit for construction required us to, not because the code change was applied to pre-existing non-GFCI outlets. It would be impossible to maintain a property if the law worked as you described - the government could declare the kind of shingles on your roof illegal, and take your property for non-compliance, which is exactly why ex post facto laws are unconstitutional.
> In the case I watched there was a potential juror that had recently become a citizen and was very interested in being a juror, but she was also not a native English speaker and was clearly not following everything that was going on

Trust the system.

Give her a few more years. The good ol’ US of A will make her a jury-duty dodging, full-blooded American out of her.

Tongue-in-cheek aside I’ve disappointed not to be selected for jury duty thus far.
From reading the article it seems to me that you could just wrap any Rails method (say a DB read) in an Async block to make it run asynchronously.
I like how in the Chinese ad they don't even hide the fact that you might have to run along side the tanks while shells rain down on you. You would have to be mad to watch that video and think, yes that's the life for me!
I think that’s a poor analogy. More like, someone sneaks onto your land and hides in a shed from the bitter cold, you find them, throw their child in your basement, and push the adults onto a plane back to their home country.

Children do not have fully formed brains. Society has decided the best way to mitigate the negative consequences stemming from decisions made by children with brains which have not fully developed is to allow parents the authority to make decisions for them.

If an adult wants to spend all day in front of a computer screen, they can choose to do so. If an adult wants to spend all day on Facebook, they can choose to do so.

If you believe Facebook would turn you into a bad person, you are well within your right to not use Facebook.

I don't use Facebook, but that's because it's an unenjoyable experience. Not because I think it's some evil hypnosis device.
Nobody is suggesting that the virus was created from scratch.

Of course the viruses have a natural origin, where do you think the original samples come from?

I don't know where you are interpreting your stance from, and I am sorry if I am being unclear, english is not my first language.. but just because viruses are being engineered in a lab does not mean they build them molecule by molecule, but they do transfer genes between existing viruses.
Their competence on not burning up does not set a high prior on competence in evaluating the burn up.

Probably incompetent throughout.
I wouldn’t conflate the excitement for VR/AR with crypto.

To me, the metaverse is a web browser for VR. But rather than a flat screen with text and images, it’s a 3D environment where open objects can coexist.

Kids today play Minecraft or Roblox etc for hours while simultaneously watching a twitch or youtube stream with their friends and video or text chatting about it. Sometimes they just have an open vid connection just for the “pseudo connectedness” of having someone feel next to you while doing something independently. All of this bodes well for more integrated experiences.

We need - as with the early web- for engineers to push this stuff to be open. Because it won’t really take off until it’s open, we are currently in the “AOL” vs “compuserve” phase.
I'm in a Seattle tower and the extent to which our windows open is a joke. You can't actually get any ventilation from a 16 inch wide window allowed to open up to twelve degrees. I like the idea of being environmentally friendly but we definitely lost the plot where airflow is concerned.
Thank you so much mate. Means a lot. :)
That's not true. Inflation adjusted home prices are at a massive all time peak, higher than the 2000s housing bubble.

https://cdn.dqydj.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/median-home...

Of course, as you mentioned, this doesn't normalize for interest rates, so some could argue housing is still fairly valued. But what about when rates rise?

It will be interesting to see how it trends, and whether the move to a more uniformly geographical spread of population becomes inflationary or deflationary. There are strong arguments for both sides, but it will come down to the weighting of those variables.

It seems to me the short term impact will be inflationary, but longer run impact deflationary.
I'm also very curious about job organization, and teaching.

You can work hard but in a beneficial environment (efforts are well chunked and rewarding physically and/or mentally) or you can work somehow less but in toxic settings (adversarial relationships, bad tooling, etc).
> any blocking operation (a method where Ruby interpreter waits) is compatible with Async and will work asynchronously within Async code block with Ruby 3.0 and later.

That's pretty magical. Does this mean it would be possible to implement structured concurrency [0], but without the function coloring problem?

Regardless, I think I prefer how this looks from a code read/writeability perspective compared to Zig's or Swift's (and potentially future Rust's [2]) approaches.

Are you really going after someone who shared a similar project to yours in what you seem to believe is your thread? What, do you think you’re headed for a raise on a $100m valuation for this and any discussion of alternative small lisps weakens your hand for YC? Come on.

It’s pretty ironic you’re here seeking validation for your hobby project and then tearing down someone who shared their own hobby project with someone else and didn’t even pit it as related to yours in any way. The person they were replying to was seeking context on the sizes involved and you leaned in on dissecting that person’s entire hobby architecture and even its bloody name out of what, offense? It’s not a competition for attention and multiple ideas can exist independently.

I realize you left some plausible deniability in how you worded it so you can step back and say “oh, gosh, I never,” but the wording right now is fairly transparent in its dagger-like nature and clear contempt that this person would dare to sully your work with something else. Completely unnecessary, toxic, and a real shame because I respect your work. Even the condescension in your downthread reply is glaringly obvious and huge props to the other user for not rising to it.
> for example I think I'd feel a lot more confident if my ebook or streaming library was a series of NFT's

How would an NFT be better than a non-DRM local version?

Either the text would be available on the blockchain, in which case anyone would be able to read it, or the token would allow you to go to some central site where you put it in to access your book. In which case the site could just disappear or lock you out anyway. Unless there is some distributed platform where anyone can host copyrighted material and let you access with a token, but I doubt any publisher would allow anyone to hold and administer access to their intellectual property
I wonder what specifically the GPU missing that OpenGL needs.
If your hypothesis is based on an exclusive, direct trace, how comes that you may still maintain it, if you have to allow for an unaccounted for and untraced span of time and spread, including an untraced roundtrip around the globe? How do you still establish the link between the lab and a location as specific as the wet market? This is a matter of basic science and hypothesis checking. If you propose a direct link, any unrelated, conflicting data point invalidates your hypothesis. (Incidentally, Lombardy, where most of the Italian samples came from, was also one of the regions hit hardest by the Alpha variant.)

P.S.: Mind that the allegations are not about a loose probability, but about a very specific scenario, involving the lab and the outbreak at the wet market at a certain date.
> because human nature is to compete.

Do you seriously believe this?

Both cooperation and competition has been advantageous and disadvantageous at different times and in different contexts..

Personally, I’m at least happy that my mum didn’t decide to compete with me for survival…
I wonder if this was originally planned to be more like the original with songs mechanically encoded in the disks but they either found the cheap microswitches in the tone arm to not have the right reaction speed or they realized developing the sound generation for the IC took too long/needed a more powerful+expensive micro controller so they went with this instead.

When I was a kid the "toy" to take apart was a disposable camera. The sort you used to buy on vacation and then drop off to have the film developed without getting the camera back. I discovered after charging it that touching the capicator gives a nice electrical shock. I spent a great deal of effort teaching this painful lesson to anyone I could trick into learning it.

The objects of curiosity don't need to be a toy, or even meant for children. Anything that can be disassembled will be disassembled by a curious child.

Too bad it's no longer possible for end users to disassemble mobile phones.
I was still in college when the Raptor came out. I had an affluent friend who put two in RAID0 and I never saw Windows XP boot up so fast. He has some kind of solution rigged up for the noise so it was noticeable but pretty muffled. I was so jealous with my standard WD 7200 rpm drive.
From my experience some people just want to convict and are happy to have the power to punish. Most want to get out of there. You might get someone trying to find anything not to convict. What you end up with is some people happy to not work, others eager to close the case because they are not getting paid.

Personal feelings decide outcomes. I know this person is not guilty but this guy who loves the free lunches won't ever change his mind and I am worried about my mortgage.
You almost always still need to take public transport, so you'd need a bus or rail pass.

To truly do it, you'll probably need a cart/trailer for the car, that's another couple hundred bucks.

You need a bike lock, you almost always need pannier racks and bags. Lights.

For rain gear, do you just tolerate getting your shoes and pants wet?

I agree it is still fundamentally cheaper, but it starts to get close to "ah, I might as well get a beater car" too quickly. We need a really good incentive to get people away from using cars for short trips. Likely that is high fuel prices and taxes...
Well, normie kids did glom onto Fortnite en masse, and then started bullying each other over their Fortnite avatars' equipment...
Yes, I am in favor of improving it. It's just that if we're talking about 6th and Market, getting it anywhere close to what we think of as "gentrified" is a long, long game, especially in San Francisco. It's a legendary corner.

But as others pointed out, the spot in question might not actually be right there, I was just commenting on the area mentioned by the parent, to add context for the non-SF people.
Is there any way of laundering/anonymizing cryptocurrencies as of yet, or are the thieves stuck with their unsellable ether?
I think there has to be massive benefit to the Rails community before there can be a consideration of adding such a feature.

I could be wrong here, but I'm not sure it will solve some of the more drastic issues of what happens in a production Rails app which I believe to be mostly around memory and garbage collection (from my limited experience and understanding).

You might be able to eke out more performance in terms of having more clients be able to hit a page, but I suspect that might make memory more of an issue, not less.
After reading all the comments (a dirty job, but someone has to do it), I reach this conclusion, which doesn't require any massive changes to our justice system:

The constitutional right to "confront" a witness against you should be interpreted as the right to run your own unbiased tests on any dog whose results are used. This would mean a neutral handler whom the dog doesn't know conducts double-blind tests on the dog. If the dog is found to be unreliable by the judge, then the evidence is discarded, the same as if a warrantless search had been conducted.

Which is essentially what Bitcoin does. There is a natural abundance of numbers but crytocurrency protocols make some more scarce/valuable than others.

Not quite. Broadband was getting significant adoption, but it was more expensive and not available everywhere, so most people stayed on dial-up for years to come. Visitors to this site old enough to recall that era would very likely have been early adopters, so it's easy to have the perspective that dial-up went away circa 2000, when it really didn't, it merely peaked... It wasn't until the 2010s when dial-up disappeared.

But that also discounts travel... Even if you had broadband at home, the world wasn't blanketed with Wi-Fi like it is now. Only the best hotels had ethernet jacks, and cellular data was still very slow and with very high per-minute usage fees. So laptops continued to come with rj11 jacks for years to come.
> And they worked only as many days as were necessary to earn their customary income -- which in this case amounted to about 120 days a year, for a probable total of only 1,440 hours annually (this estimate assumes a 12-hour day because the days worked were probably during spring, summer and fall).

This goes against everything I've been taught, that the plebian class basically toiled endlessly, from Feudal Times to Industrial Revolution before labor laws to today's "multiple low-wage-jobs to survive".

EDIT: Also odd that the author doesn't point out that ~2040 hours is the yearly hours in a modern 40-hour workweek in the US, give or take a few holidays.
Yea, it's a big new Ruby feature.

From what I was able to tell (I followed the discussion around this) enabling Rails to work with Async is not huge amount of effort. One guy was working on this, but he got distracted with other stuff.

It's just a matter of time someone steps up and gets this to work.
Also says at the end:

The only caveat is that it doesn't work with Ruby on Rails, because ActiveRecord doesn't support async gem. You can still use it with Rails if ActiveRecord is not involved.
The coveted king modem for me was the external version with an on/off switch (having started on an internal card). When I finally got one was super happy. Now it’s funny that you can still see these awesome USR 56kx2s kicking around for out of band management in IDFs, gathering dust, sometimes hanging by a cat3 but how totally awesome they were to me all those years ago. Now I don’t even have a phone line to use one if I wanted to.
> once it is good enough then there is absolutely nothing to be gained by wasting time on seeking performance gains.

Energy consumption, loading time, performance for anyone who does not have the latest computer/phone + fast and reliable internet.

In fact, every dev coding a user-facing application on a kitted-out laptop should be forced to test it with the shittiest machine + internet connection their users might have (or, say, 10% percentile or something). Sometimes it feels people live in a bubble where they assume the latest processors, 32GB of RAM, and stable 100Mbps+ internet is available everywhere.

> It matters nothing if your browser wastes 1GB of RAM even though it could just use 100MB because practically everyone already has 8GB to begin with

Yep, a bubble indeed x)
