I tried to with a Quest 2. Immersed VR was the only option I found for getting multiple virtual monitors with my non-VR-ready work laptop (it has to encode and stream the virtual monitors to the headset), but performance was not good enough for more than two screens at a reasonable resolution.

I did see the promise of it though. Input was not a problem as I'm able to touch type without looking at the keyboard. Being able to position additional screens all around your main screen was amazing -- with physical monitors I only have space for two.

Using a VR-ready machine to directly run the headset and some headless monitor emulator adapters might result in a better experience right now. With this kind of setup you can use other VR desktop software, e.g. Virtual Desktop.
Entrapment can only be committed by government agents.
As others have said, the card also has to be PCIe 4.0. On the used market, I mostly see PCIe 2.0, which means they need quite a lot of lanes.

There's also the fact that people usually use "older" components to build home servers, and if I'm not mistaken, PCIe 4.0 is only supported in fairly recent CPUs, and with not that many lanes; whereas my desktop from circa 2012 comes with something like 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes.
No other system we tried was better at reducing global poverty and advancing the society. The reason capitalism works so well is that it works with human nature, not against it: it incentivizes value creators by allowing them to keep a large share of the value they create. The majority of that value though, goes to the society, rising it.

> demotivating... to the people who end up with less

No, demotivating to the people creating value.

> spreading that wealth around would be positive

That is exactly what communists did when taking power: stole the wealth and spread it around. It lasted some good 10-20 years, then they started starving, because why would anyone create any more wealth if it was gonna be confiscated anyway?!

People have been using faster ethernet in workstations for a long time, in data intensive jobs. But indeed the commodization has been going much slower than previous gens. My pet theory is that it goes back to the stall in internet connecitivity speeds, which in turn is caused by people jumping en masse to slow and flaky wifi and cellular connectivity. This then causes popular apps to adapt aggressively to low bandwidth and keeps apps requiring high bandwidth out of the mainstream.
Not now, but the ISA is so superficial for a modern superscaler out-of-order design I don't see why existing designs couldn't easily be "reskinned", say if Nvidia-ARM jacked up fees.

I think most of the effort is getting GCC, LLVM, Linux, etc. support, and some working design to put RISC-V on top of. In other words, the difficult is in the number of cats to be herded.

In a way, I hope the deal does go through just to accelerate the transition away from ARM.
Because RTP is pure UDP and UDP is complex?? The complex parts are the service protocol RTSP and the TCP variants over HTTP, like this, which need an ack packet for every packet sent.

Docker has become synonymous with OCI images, and my comment was exactly in that context (or at least state of mind) - I should have stated that as well.
Seriously. I recently boughtan LG C1 OLED and am surprised how slow the UI is. It's appalling that settings menus have a noticeable loading spinner.
Spinning HDDs are faster than this as well, 250-300 MB/s sequential read seems common per drive, and in a home setup you might have a couple of those in a RAID-1 giving 500-600 MB/s read BW.
I think reading it, the people who devote so much of their time to ethical and moral purity, and searching out failings in others, probably do not have the time to develop the technical competence required to comment on the underlying data and science used to draw the immoral conclusions.

Maybe I just feel this because I hate moralizers, even if I agree mainly with the moral views they espouse. (though not agreeing with the moral attacks on Wilson, it seems a real perfect being the enemy of the good type attack - spearheaded by the self-righteous and opportunistic)
> “While Arm’s licensees such as Apple, Qualcomm and Amazon have enjoyed skyrocketing revenue growth and profits, as well as soaring market valuations, Arm has lately endured comparably flat revenues, rising costs and lower profits that would likely present challenges for a 30-year-old public company.

>Why would you ever choose C anymore?

I can't speak to why you'd want to use C in a web stack, but I can weigh in in the more general sense:

A while ago I thought I'd try my hand at the Cryptopals challenges, and I figured, hey all the security guys know C (and python, but ugh) so I'll use this as an opportunity to really learn C. Prior to starting that project, I "knew" C, in the sense that I took CS036 which was taught in that small subset of C++ that might as well be C.

So I jumped in and it felt really liberating, at first. You want to compare chars? It's just a number, use >= and <= ! Cast it back and forth to different types! Implement base64 by just using a character array of the encoding alphabet and just walk through it like an array and do magic casts! No stupid boilerplate like namespaces or static class main{}!

Then by about the 2nd set where you have to start attacking AES ECB I realized I was spending more time debugging my mallocs/frees and my fucking off-by-one errors than I was spending on actually learning crypto. I stuck with it until I think part way through the third set but by that point I couldn't take it any more.

So I bailed out of C and never looked back. I can see how a certain type of programmer (who is more practiced with malloc/fastidious with their array indices and loop bounds than I am) can really enjoy C for a certain type of work. But I can actually say now, hand on heart, that I know C; and I don't like it.
Other than some stupid feature of it (like some of the ones you mentioned, maybe also forms), I really don’t think it is too hard to implement - there are plenty of open-source pdf reader libraries.
My point was that the concentration of the chemicals is not subject to the organisms internal state, and is also basically one dimensional. But my mental model predicting things is subject to the internal state of my dopamine levels, as well as very high dimensional. Pretty sure the math is a lot simpler in the first case. You will get a lot of quasi-periodic and chaotic behavior from the internal model. So bumping up the dopamine a little could easily cause period doubling or quite different, quite non-linear variations. If your gradient descent is walking a high dimensional system with non-linear dynamics, especially in a range where you are getting close to phase changes (e.g. fight or flight), it won’t be a simple little bacterium swimming to the food.

This is why automation to cut costs in a lax labor market is much less interesting than automation in a tight and tightening labor market.

The fear of wages and workers, not just idle "gee more profits would be nice", is what makes automation actually go, vs floundering out as some middle managers doing a b2b steak dinner grift
Given how many devices nowadays depend on arm IP i think they don't have cash issue. If so than maybe rise prices. Also i don't think RISC-V is a real competitor yet. Arm has Apple as its customer and old founding company. I wouldn't trust Apple with Arm but I don't think Apple would allow for "stagnation".

This is all prediciton and Apple invested a lot into switch to Arm which paid off so going back to x86 isn't an option. Especially because of the i86 instruction decoder situation. The fixed size instructions on Arm is a really good thing imho.
And the much better thermals which are key in mobile devices. I know thermals are not an attribute of architecture but more of a super low EUV in TSMC process nodes but it adds up.

We have already learned the most cost-effective way to capture and sequester CO2: pump CO2 as dissolved in ocean surface water down to the ocean depths.

There is no danger of overloading the depths with CO2 or acidity. The sheer volume of deep ocean water to disperse the surface CO2 into is overwhelmingly greater than what could be pumped from the surface in even the largest conceivable process.

Gallium can serve as no part of a practical solution.
I've had a similar experience when a very close uncle passed away. I was sad but not as sad as everyone else. It wasn't weird for me because I've always had a delayed emotional response to things. It comes in useful in that we can remain cool and level headed during panic situations, with the inverse being that we come off as aloof and uncaring.

For me, the release of anguish came right at the moment when the furnace was ignited and my uncle was cremated. It was a very brief but strong outburst of emotion.

It's been over 20 years so I can't say if I felt better or worst after that, or even if we're normal. Just that you're not alone.

Also, age doesn't make it easier. I've worked hard over the past few years to learn to smile 'naturally' and attempt to release emotions on the spot. Doing sports that come with emotional highs help. For me it was snowboarding.
It looks like they were forward thinking and had a solid idea what will happen / be important in future.
We don't burn pure C to make CO2 though. We burn hydrocarbons. I am not sure what the effects of the longer carbon chain is. But I feel certain the other extra parts of hydrocarbons leave more energy on the table.

The output might be quite low. But I doubt it would be negative.

For TSMC it is also good to have another big customer, otherwise they might become to dependant on Apple. Easier to get good pricing when they can say that we can sell the capacity to another big entity.

Given your experience, it should be extremely simple, especially if all you want to do is drop NginX infront of your NodeJS server. All you have to do is install it and add a line in the config that points traffic to your NodeJs instance. Btw often times people use Nginx as SSL termination and use http to the backend (if on the same instance).

Let's Encrypt can automatically add lines to the nginx config that enable SSL, but in some cases it doesn't work properly and the config is malformed. In any case not hard to fix.

I wanted to love VR. I dreamed of having a headset when I was younger and kickedstarted the oculus rift. I imagined a million worlds that would be within virtual reach. It would be the coolest!

VR has been nothing but a complete disappointment to me. Motion Sickness, headaches, sweaty headsets and detachment. Never played a VR game that wasn’t better without it, somewhat like 3D movies.
I have my doubts this will ever be anything other that a use once toy for most.

Seeing Facebook further latch onto our faces fills me with dread. I don’t think we will interact with each other in VR with business or pleasure outside of some fringe groups.

But Microsoft is actually making lots of progress for the PC industry.

The problem is that the CTO, who is rather famous in the Russosphere, only gave a verbal permision, and only mentioned this happening when he was long gone from the company.

> We need some way to recapture it if we want to return to pre-industrial levels

To return we probably need to capture well below the "safe" boundary of 350 ppm of CO2, to engage all the feedback loops that will refreeze the arctic etc.

But also, why bother? Biggest problems from climate change are due to the fast change, which causes destruction of ecosystems (including human habitat). Even if we refreeze, we won't revert these losses.
It's humanity's business. No human being should be subjected to this mass surveillance.

I was working on adding custom sharding for a reverse proxy in Nginx ten years ago. The code was absolute bare-bones. No comments, no tests. And still it worked really well. Scary and cool, were my thoughts at the time.

There are three things I think stood out (not tied to C10K):

1. The configuration format is light-weight. Compared to Apache, lighttpd and others at the time, you could build a static file server or a reverse proxy in just 3-4 lines of configuration. It lowered the bar of entry, and is probably what led to wide adoption.

2. The core of Nginx was (is?) an async data pipeline. The individual modules (proxy, file system) defined how the pipes tie together, but the actual pumping of data was done in a kernel. You never had to care about epoll(2) and the like; you just defined the DAG. And that was easy to do correctly even in bare-bones C. This was a good architecture.

3. Single-threaded IIRC, which might be the C10K answer you were looking for. Apache had the complicated configuration where you had to decided to use prefork, or threads, or...

Lastly, it was fast. Probably because of (2), and a prerequisite for (3).
some people have better coping / thriving mechanisms that they tend to have delayed responses. maybe not now, maybe next week, month, or even years. that day will eventually come.

A few things that you may find useful:

The heart takes time. The mind is as fast as a lightning, but often gets in loops.

The heart moves at its own speed, often glacial from the mind’s perspective. But it’s moving. The crying, the grieving, the heavy emotions are the heart digesting the loss.

If you can, find someone to talk to about this. As often as you need to. A friend you can cry in front. Someone who doesn’t judge you and can hold space for you without trying to console or change you.

You may find yourself going over the same territory, as if in circles. But it’s likely a spiral and not circles. Allow yourself the time to heal.

If you feel stuck and start getting depressed, seek help.
I have a feeling a lot of people commenting never worked outside IT. I worked in marketing twice and in sales once just to see if I would like other career than programming. The amount of stuff I automated was amazing.

The problem is, it's hard to automate stuff for people in a scalable way. There is recent YC startup Axios, but when I tried to automate something with their software, the learning curve was too big.

I think the best way to automate the office work would be "automation houses" where people sell software that automates stuff. I think we have this for big companies, but smaller ones are left doing boring jobs
