You can do a version of this today with vive trackers[0] but that wouldn't work with the quest. There probably is a way though.

I've generally found the VR space to be more hackable than I expected so far. Both in software and hardware.

The most interesting experimental VR controller I know of at this point is the prototype developed by Lucas VRTech[1]. Starting with his discord might lead in interesting directions.

>don't boot your Macs into third-party operating systems (high potential for thermal damage or even misconfiguring mainboard components such that it might cause data loss even when rebooted back into macOS

I see this fantastical claim thrown around on all kinds of forums, of course never with sources cited.

There shouldn't be any potential for thermal damage from software. There should be very simple low level circuitry on the board that cuts power after a critical temperature is exceeded, regardless of how the OS or firmware are set up. Many consumer devices have something like this so that they don't melt down and hurt people. Are you trying to say that Apple isn't including basic safety features anymore?

Nationalists plotting chemical attacks in Ukraine when Russian troops approach
They have that item in English: https://tass.com/defense/1424641

TASS, the Russian state news agency reports that the Russian "ministry of defense is reporting preparations by Ukrainian nationalists to use chemical weapons" https://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/14125007

I think that they might be fabricating a pretext to justify the use of tactical nukes, as a nuclear response to a claimed chemical attack. Yesterdays they declared the use of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, so that is also a kind of lowering of the nuclear threshold.

I agree that there's no attribution to probably piles of software that is used to get https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/xbox-cloud-gaming-... to work.

However, flatpak is only mentioned twice, both as "run this command" in step 4 - hardly a "We at microsoft wrote this and you should use it" type of "promotion".

As someone who uses very little Microsoft and doesn't use Steam, I don't even know what "Edge flatpak" is, nor even what the flatpak command does or is.

I don't think there's going to be much "outrage" to be generated here.

You can do a fair amount of stuff with k9s, which is a nice tool.

But if you need to to do something more specialized you can pipe the output of a kubectl command into fzf and then use the ‘describe’ sub command on the selected item returned by fzf. Basically when you need to interact in someway then run a command on the output fzf can be great.
Having watched CHERI go through its evolution for the last couple years, I am extremely glad that there’s now a modern thing that breaks the “pointers are integers” assumptions that people have mostly been OK with making for several decades, thinking that those were just things that “old” computers did and were now irrelevant to support. I’m really hoping to see architectures start re-adding trapping arithmetic too so we can start taking advantage of all the things in C that everyone hates is UB but can be repurposed into catching real bugs in hardware. I suspect this is going to break a lot of code that’s been playing fast-and-loose with these things, but “all the world’s a VAX” is a thing we got over before and now it’s going to be replaced with “Intel”.
This sounds awful lot like a conspiracy theory. I assume a reflective vest is easy enough to obtain

I came here to post that same book!

When I was a kid I wanted to make an IRC chatbot. I didn't know much, but I read online you could use regular expressions to match text commands. I felt like I needed a book, saved up money, and got my mom to drive me to the next town. Our little library didn't have any computer books. I remember her paging through and asking if I really wanted this "technical manual".

Mastering Regular Expressions was the start to my programming career as well. Having references to a bunch of other languages spurred my curiosity to learn them. I eventually bought some of the O'Reilly Perl books as well.
- The Dune books. The depth of everything in it awes me. Every time I re-read them, I find some nuance I missed from the last reading. The way it portrays politics, religion, and basically the entangled web of life in general blew my mind when I first read it, and still does.

- Bio of a Space Tyrant series by Piers Anthony. I'm not sure I can put into words how it has impacted me, though, but it has. I guess it's more of a visceral reaction? I can't honestly say I can relate to the protagonist, since I've never been in his shoes (and I hope to never be; having every one in your family---save for one of your sisters---murdered, raped, or raped-then-murdered by pirates isn't exactly something to ascribe to). I love how Hope (the protagonist) can empathize with pretty much anyone, though---at least eventually; and I guess I relate to how deeply he feels things.

- Pretty much everything by Heinlein. It has once again become fashionable (I think it goes on in cycles) to shit on Heinlein's works, and I get where naysayers are coming from. Heinlein himself always maintained he wrote primarily to entertain, even though he can get kind of preachy at times.

The very first Heinlein I got my hands on was The Number of the Beast--, while I was a teenager. Flying cars, non-benevolent Other Beings, multiverses possibly made manifest through the sheer act of imagining it... For a kid who dreamt of one day becoming a nuclear physicist after having watched ST:TOS (Scotty is mah boy), that book was revelatory. Every Heinlein I've read after that has just gone on and contributed to who I am as person today: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Stranger in a Strange Land (both editions), To Sail Beyond the Sunset, et al.

It's almost literally impossible for me to overstate how much Heinlein's works has shaped who I am as a person, regardless of whatever flaws others might ascribe to his work.
Maybe so, but I wrote about mixing acronyms towards the end of this post: <http://boston.conman.org/2003/11/19.2>, where IRA can stand for one of three different things. My solution: use use <abbr> (<acronym> seems to be deprecated these days).

You sign onto a job with no promise of getting a bonus until you work, say, 90 days. What does it matter if you got fired 1 month before that date, versus 1 day? You feel it was almost yours, and it feels so much worse?

Aside from that, until workers refuse to sign up for a job that has a 1 month vesting period for the bonus, and instead they have to make it 1 week to find employees, or 1 day, what is there to object to? You agreed.

Of course, I am not known for my PR skills.

I also love dogs, and enjoy having a well trained companion that will walk along side me without a leash or harness across the city (Oakland). I would have only been able to do that by showing them that I'm in control, that they don't need to worry about possible dangers, and that they need to follow my commands to stay safe.

Positive reinforcement is great. But without a small amount of negative reinforcement, I believe a dog feels like it needs to be in control and make decisions. The modern world is too complicated for it to feel safe doing so...so it will either become neurotic, or completely unsafe, running after things and barking at anything that looks threatening.

Not to mention that going to the bathroom in the house is completely unacceptable. My puppies get a stern no, while I point their nose at the mess, and a quick pat on the rump. Then they are put outside.

Most dogs don't want to go in the house anyways, if given the chance.

First hand experience: ICs and management have been complaining about this to higher ups for a while now. These interview requirements appear to be a choice from the very top.

Perhaps the article has been updated or perhaps I am missing something, but nothing in the linked article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/xbox-cloud-gaming-... made me think specifically that Microsoft are in charge of the Flatpak packaging. Nor that they weren’t.

But I also don’t see why this article would or should specifically mention who had happened to package the app.

If anything, I would say that it would be more reasonable to instead ask Valve to highlight who is packaging stuff. Valve is responsible for the representation of things on SteamOS, not Microsoft.

Asking for credit for packaging in a random support article seems.. strange?

They do not want new construction in LA. You're lucky so far you only have red tape to deal with, when the neighbors know you're building on that plot you will have much more to deal with.

By building a new house in that area, you're taking away everyone's "forced" savings account or asset that has accumulated so much wealth that can makes everyone a millionaire due to forced scarcity. The red tape you're experiencing is why there is that scarcity.

You're also in California. It is not the same in the majority of other states, or major urban cities from personal experience, it is much less than two weeks or a week for all the pain points you stated.
They’ve improved some of the things, but the ergonomics of “I have an UnsafeXPointer and I want an UnsafeYPointer” could be significantly improved. Plus, Swift really needs better documentation as to how aliasing works when external code captures a pointer and reinterprets it. My current understand is that it’s far more lenient than what C allows (basically exposing LLVM’s model directly) but this isn’t really documented anywhere that I could find.
You have to treat it like a creative field, albeit one which has logical rigors to it. I believe the correct way of hiring in this structure is to hire people for the Apprentice/Journeyman/Master artisan categories used in medieval times.

There are clearly master coders out there e.g. Linus Torvalds, John Carmack, etc.

I really strongly feel having the master/apprentice structure is the correct way to hire and consider coders, and that many things business wants to do and hires “new programmers” for needs to be considered in terms of how many people you want to hire who can complete the task on their own, and how much help they will need which can be provided in terms of junior/senior positions below the artisan/architecture level programmer.

Well that was before all the social programs we have currently. Before you were welcome, but you were also on your own, there was no social security, SNAP, etc. Most people that I know who are for limiting immigration point to that. And they have a point.

there's no safety net in america, and no recognition for doing good things, so people do not want to take risks and people do not want to work for the benefit of others... it's a much easier and better idea for most people to do nothing, or if they're going to do something, do it for themselves.
I'm sure I'd live to regret this idea but I really wish I could send video of other vehicles breaking the law to some government agency and have them fine the drivers of those cars. And, I don't really care they don't know who the driver is. Fine the owner of the car and then the owner can decide if they trust the other people to drive the car.

I know that I'd probably get some tickets myself but my belief is that we'd be safer overall if more people obeyed the traffic laws and that they would obey them if they were likely to get caught.

Also, I don't need a cut of the fines.

I disagree with this post. I wouldn’t be surprised if the author of the help article was under the impression that the package was Microsoft’s. Just look at the metadata, which is used in the UI:

<id>com.microsoft.Edge</id>

<name>Microsoft Edge</name>

<developer_name>Microsoft Corporation</developer_name>

You can’t go round claiming to be Microsoft and then add a disclaimer in the notes field that you’re not actually Microsoft, which they do, after four paragraphs of other text:

> NOTE: This wrapper is not verified by, affiliated with, or supported by Microsoft.

I don’t think this is an adequate way to surface such an important piece of information, one which arguably contradicts the package metadata. Flathub needs to figure this out.

Diet for a small planet and the followup book by I believe her sister called Recipes for a small planet for which she wrote the intro.

The first half of the first book is about the political causes of hunger in the world and advocates for vegetarianism as an antidote to such. The intro to the followup book states that protein complementarity is easier than she made it out to be and she regretted making it sound harder than it is.

It's one of the reasons I eat a semi vegetarian diet. Changing my diet has had a big impact on my health and feeling like how I live makes a difference helps protect me from the sense of doom about climate change and what not that many people seem to have.

It also made me feel like there is no need for this to be such a polarizing us-vs-them topic. She talks about how "eating one less (grain fed) hamburger " makes a difference , so we can change the world with relatively small changes to our own behavior. It doesn't require extremist positions.

As per [1]:

> “We worked closely with Valve and the Xbox Cloud Gaming team to bring support for Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate through Microsoft Edge Beta for the Steam Deck,” says Missy Quarry, a community manager for Microsoft Edge.

Then there is a tweet which links to this reddit post. That reddit post has you install the Microsoft Edge flatpak. If you search using DDG or Google for "edge runs on steam deck", you will see that there are multiple news articles reporting on how Microsoft has worked with Valve to get Edge running on the Steam Deck. All of these use the flatpak mentioned in the post. I can absolutely see why the author of the flatpak would want at least some attribution instead of Microsoft announcing that they alone have gotten Edge running on the deck.

Also, it is worth it to read the Wikipedia page on flatpak if you don't understand what flatpak is. It is a really important technology if you want to understand why the author is mad.

Flatpack has little to do with Microsoft or Steam. Flatpak is a way to distribute applications in such a way that they don't depend on the base system but rather a runtime that gets downloaded. You can think of it as a package manager. Edge is a web browser developed by Microsoft.

The Edge flatpak is essentially a package.

Sure, it’s not an ideal solution. If we had any sense, we would ban diesel and gasoline vehicles from our cities and subsidise their replacement with zero emissions vehicles. Combusting hydrocarbons have no place alongside our kids. People will look back on us in 50 years and laugh at how stupid we were.

Until then, we need people to do what they can. We’re talking about commercial vehicles - either the owner will bear the cost, and make it clear to employees not to do it, or they won’t, and people will learn quick smart to turn off their engine anyway.

In 95% of cases, people aren’t doing it with the intention of being anti-social - they’re just not aware of it. This sort of enforcement scheme is the kind of thing that changes cultures, starting with polluting corporates.
