The first killer accessory in the metaverse will be some kind of pass-through phone gateway or phone proxy that people can use as a substitute for their physical phone, to satiate their compulsive need to (ABC) Always Be Checking it. I don't see people accepting strapping on a headset that blocks access to their primary addiction.
Would be much harder even if they wanted to. Lots of countries teach their kids English, only one teaches their kids Japanese.
More importantly, optimal desk and monitor configuration and no people breathing down your neck shattering your ability to focus and go in a flow state.

This all assumes no little children of course…
My understanding is that the system malloc is excellent under contention, but has a high baseline cost for every malloc/free call.

I don't remember exactly what workloads it performed really great at (and if I did I dunno if I could say), but I do remember they were parallel, and the speed-ups got bigger the more cores you added.

Everything else about your experience matches mine. Libpas is much faster than system malloc in WebKit and JSC. The difference isn't 2x on my preferred benchmarks (which are large and do lots of things that don't rely on malloc), but it is easily more than 2x on smaller benchmarks. So your 2x result sounds about right.
> "But what if it's 'valuable'?"

That hit me hard... yes, that takes energy from a person.
Reality: the name change doesn’t hide anything.

Neat to think they believe it does.
Imagine the mandatory MSQ in the Metaverse
As far as I know, you get no support usually, when you run it with proton/wine. I'm not interested in paying full price and then having the risk all myself. Of course there is the return before two hours thing, but then I also don't wanna create all that hassle.

But if a developer makes some guarantees about proton support, that'd be something else, actually.
So what exactly is the utility of Unity in this setup then?
Look at it this way. In the forever long term, stock valuation (without dividends) can't exceed the GDP growth curve. Otherwise the warren buffet ratio would be meaningless. So what is GDP growth? It's population growth plus productivity growth. everything else just is just productivity growth. Sure, stocks can increase their earnings as a larger percentage of gdp, but that is also finite and will in the long term still fit the GDP growth curve.

So if Pop growth and productivity growth are 0 in the long term (it might be higher i don't know), GDP is Inflation. if GDP is inflation then equity returns without dividends is inflation as well.
> There is no high-income restriction on contributing to a traditional IRA. Only the possible tax deduction is limited, however earnings on any contribution are still fully tax deferred.

Yep. Which is why I think it's a great little bucket for REITs and perhaps dividend stocks where distributions would have counted toward your annual income but don't when you use the TRAD IRA.

Dividends are taxed at max 20% (AFAIK) but REIT dividends are taxed like income at your highest marginal rate, so if your marginal rate is high enough (above 20%) you may want to buy REITs in a traditional IRA.

This is not financial advice.
I thought that was an Azure trademark…

But really, with proper authentication in place and preferably built-in to a GraphQL-enabled datastore, a GraphQL server can more secure than your average self-implemented HTTP API.

The latter can easily leak through e.g. haphazard app-level joins. Meanwhile, the GraphQL server can secure things at object level, much like if people actually integrated their frontend authentication all the way to their (No)SQL server.
Neat game, looks fun. Congratulations on launching!

It made me sad to see the island torn up by polluting industries. I would be more excited about the game if there was a sustainability angle... maybe that could be an expansion pack? You use current-gen tech to survive and get moving, you trash the place, then you rebuild and transition to something sustainable.
kubectl apply on a directory full of yaml works fairly well for small stuff. Check it into git and it's version controlled.

If you need something more flexible than that, try making your own helm chart. Helm will give you some text templating, pre and post hooks, some basic functions, and some versioning and rollback functionality.

You can start simple by just pasting in your existing k8s yaml, and then just pull out the pieces you need into variables in your values file. If you need to change an image version, then you just update the variable and `helm upgrade mychart ./mychart`
Which feels insane. It feels like there's no constraints, no restrictions on what's allowed to keep down competition.
I came here to say this, I would love a service like this.
I think the huge confusion they are partaking in the difference between data and UI. A 3d virtual world can exist independently from a headset. The headset is just a phone you strap to your face. And the data behind that 3d virtual world is just a 2d virtual world with a z-axis. We've been building 3d games for decades and we've built 3d UIs for nearly as long and they never catch on. They're hard to navigate and, more importantly, convey absolutely no extra information. The entire move from physical interaction like shopping at a store to virtual interaction like e-commerce is that the 2d world is way more efficient. We've already built a fully functional metaverse. We've built fully digital models of commerce, healthcare, education, communication, finance, travel. All of which has UIs that work perfectly well on flat screens. Putting that inside a headset is just not a groundbreaking change.
I used to do that a lot, and I finally realized that I actually didn't care about what was on the TV and just started leaving it off. Either a show is worth actually watching or it isn't IMO.

I guess it's a little bit of a different story if it's just the centerpiece of family time, though..
It's ctrl-x ctrl-e
Doesn't the physical size of your island also limit the scale? Sure, you can literally move mountains, but there's still a finite amount of material.
Both really. They can't because they won't, but also because they can't.
They go and get a job where everyone is in the office (and ideally everyone wants to be in the office).

My order of preference is:

• Everyone in-office because they want to be there

• Everyone in-office and some want to be there

• Everyone in-office and most don't want to be there

• Hybrid where everyone picks what works best for them

• 100% remote
I would recommend checking out GNU Stow, I’m quite happy with it - super straightforward to use.
81% of Americans Say Risks of Data Collection by “Tech” Outweigh Benefits (2019)
It's actually the opposite:

The availability of a half-arsed, hardly supported, restricted compared to regular JVM based runs feature, dumped at some point by SUN so that they could say they also have it, doesn't mean people should use it, or that a platform is as good in that aspect as another who has that feature as a fully supported, first class, default mode.

Don't be excited by mere presence of a feature. Implementation, maturity (which is different than "age of introduction"), completeness, support, and usage, matter...
I love this sort of thing. Whenever I try to make a case for anything at work, I always try to frame it in a historical context because everything we do in computing exists on a historical timeline that's relatively short and ongoing and we shouldn't necessarily hold anything as a universal truth. It's possible that everything we hold dear (OOP, etc) will be a blip in early computing history in the grand scheme of things. I work in web so one thing I preach a lot is that a lot of the explosion of activity in JS over the past decade or so can largely be traced back to the introduction of the iphone, the subsequent mass adoption of mobile devices, and the sudden expectation for native-app like experiences from the web on low powered devices. Thus, a lot of notions about javascript that persist from pre mobile, pre es6, etc need to be checked. "Javascript framework of the week" cynicisms tend to persist from a brief period of "throwing stuff at the wall" to figure out how to leverage AJAX to achieve SPA. Now the language and its ecosystem has matured tremendously and there are other problems to solve so it's important to constantly renew our perceptions and biases. Here's a js timeline I threw together recently https://time.graphics/editor/649085
Sure, but you can always sell assets to cover expenses.

Say you have $250k in diversified assets and a $500k note.

In scenario A you put $250k and have no earning power, owing $250k. If you lose your job and foreclose that downpayment is lost.

In scenario B you lose your job but you still have $250k on assets, you can draw on that to pay the $500k note as it comes due. You have options.
Yes. Wildly rich people are incredibly greedy? Wildly rich people seem to care about more money far more than someone making low 6 figures.

Neoliberalism is the most popular ideology by far in the world. Something that is tightly roped into more and more money and greed being important. Look at how Howard Schultz, Bezos, Musk, and all the other rich people in those companies are reacting to unions. It’s as if them losing 10% of their insane wealth is the end of the world.

Hopefully people can think more like you. The world would be a better place.
Nice! I will definitely watch the talk and take a look at your example! Thanks!
Weather data is so tiny that there’s no good reason to not just fetch the whole weather point-map for your country and then select from it client side.
Typing status aside, there's nothing worse than a semi-realtime conversation.

A true realtime conversation, rapid chat replies, is fine and sometimes needed when something important is happening.

A true async conversation that is slow and may take days, is also fine.

A semi-realtime conversation though is the horror. A "realtime" conversation where for some reason the other party takes 2 minutes to type any response, every single message. The 2 minutes is enough of a wait to get enraged but too short to go do something else.

My solution: call the person unannounced. Just say: "I figured it'd be quicker to talk directly". This forces them to drop whatever the hell else they were doing and get to the damn point.

Intrusive? No. Not if you let me wait a full hour for what should be a 5 minute interaction.
Same. Discords (and open Slacks) are great places to discuss very focused topics. I belong to a bunch and run my own (focused on Java, Spring, etc.), because I couldn't find forum for experienced developers instead of only new and junior devs.
So the command to display the actual image is an argument of the cli. If you use kitty, u can simply use kitty’s internal utility function ‘icat’ to display images. So you simply add these lines to ur bashrc: ‘’’ terminalmuseum --command "kitty +kitten icat" --print_title ‘’’ If your terminal can’t display images the next best alternative is to use imgcat. In this case u need to install imgcat and then replace the command argument with “imgcat”.
So the answer is I use nothing to display images, as the user provides the command for it and I just run it.
I see things completely opposite, other than my agreement that the current meta implementation is categorically bad.

The way I see it, Facebook is dead. It lost its place in society by forcibly combining free online expression with personal identity and responsibility. What remains is a culturally normative repository of groupthink with fewer and fewer participants deriving novel value, and that is reflected in the userbase trends.

What meta represents philosophically is a return to semi-anonymized and immediate human-to-human interaction, without the pretense of permanence or the necessity to project only socially righteous behavior. It is a natural, and by nature ephemeral medium. It is the only hope for meta long-term, and beating apple out of the gate is an encouraging sign to me.
only so much space on an island. Japan is pretty crowded as it is, isn't it?
Having good social skills is a big part of many people's jobs.
Note: The story is made up, the author says so in the first comment on Twitter, easy to miss. Very interesting idea though.
I was recently taken aback by how much some of the online major destinations make per site load with ads. It is over $.04 USD. People visit hundreds of pages per day. What consumer will pay over $10 daily to access content that is free with ads?
It seems Meta and Amazon in particular are moving even further in the direction of remote.

I think Apple and Google will
follow.
>ever since they switched from Costa Rican beans around 2010 the coffee has been bad

The unfortunate problem for Tim Horton's in Canada is that going to McDonalds (of all places) is better in every single way- their basic coffee is miles ahead in quality, their cups and lids are better, and their food is too.

Sadly, their coffee in the US is absolutely atrocious, to the point where I'm not convinced it even qualifies as "coffee".

...the Ukrainians have been doing to ethnic Russians what she accuses Putin of trying to do to Ukrainians...

In my post, I did not equate cultural suppression with physical violence. She accused Putin of currently trying to eliminate Ukrainian culture. I said that Ukrainians since 1991 have been trying to eliminate Russian culture within Ukraine.
I think Facebook (the company) have known that Facebook (the social network) was never going to live forever.

The first pivot was into Photos. A mini pivot, but an important one as being a glorified contact list and blog was on the way out.

Then they saw another competitor rising, so they bought it to ride its lifecycle. Instagram.

Then into Messaging, with messenger and WhatsApp. Most people I know use one or both of these and not Facebook.

There have been other smaller pivots to stay relevant overall, even if any one piece of the business is dying, and I think that’s good business practice.

Whether the meta verse turns out to be the next wave or not is essentially their current bet.
Sure, the values you picked for your example make the Minimax strategy look reasonable. You can just as easily choose values which make it look silly:

1) 1% of people earn $1 per day, and 99% of people earn $100 per day
2) Everyone earns $1.01 per day

I think most people, myself included, would take their chances with the first option. The Veil of Ignorance is a useful thought experiment, but I don't think many people would consider a simple Minimax algorithm to be reasonable, and would take into account the well-being of the average person as well.

20 years experience in deep tech software engineering, in roles spanning from software engineer, system architect, engineering manager to founder and CEO. Strong in scalable system architecture, data engineering, data science, machine learning and engineering/project leadership.

Educational background in engineering physics with a deep understanding of science, technology, software and information. Can read and understand just about any scientific paper in theory of computation, computer science, software engineering, data engineering, information theory, machine learning or artificial intelligence.

Not above writing code. And yes, I can implement anything I understand. That's kind of the definition of understanding I'd say. :)

Primarily looking for a (fractional) CTO role in a deep tech startup or scaleup, but open to other suggestions.
Semantle: guess words based on Word2vec similarity scores
Show HN: Idea ramen – a little different domain name generator
When I am searching for a domain name I usually have dictionary, thesaurus and registrar site open. I constantly switch between these to make up a nice domain name and see if its available.

IDEA Ramen combines dictionary, thesaurus and domain lookup in one app

- You can do the usual domain lookup for any domain extension
- You can get synonyms for any dictionary word by adding + sign
eg: https://idearamen.com/?q=world%2B
- Or combine words using ? to create new words (get??? or ???something or my????something??)
eg: https://idearamen.com/?q=get%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F
- By default it does a lookup for most common TLDs but you can provide fully qualified names like IncredibleSydney.com.au to do a specific TLD lookup
- At any time you can tap on the generated or your provided word to do a dictionary lookup
- You can bookmark finds and comeback to it later

I am working on few more algorithms to generate never seen (non existent) but memorable, short and easy to pronounce words. To be released in few weeks.

I will also be adding more config where you can choose your own resolver etc..

Please note that Lookup happens via DNS resolver over https using 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare public DNS) so you will have false positives when DNS entry is missing or if the name is an invalid name (reserved words etc).

All feedback, suggestions and wishes welcome. Hope it's useful.

I'm convinced there are some savant-level writers out there who have written the worlds greatest novels, and we will never get to read them. I'm thinking of the person who is so enlightened that they feel no need to share it (for monetary or social gain). Or the person who has such imposter syndrome that they never bothered to share. Or the person who finished the novel and burnt it down.
I meant docker push :(
"Factorio meets Banished" would be more accurate. It's a factory builder with a dash of colony sim.
> She literally rode this generation of SV wave from the beginning.

> she was the best thing to happen to FB and Mark Zuckerberg.

Or -hear me out- the person most influential in current SV business is not the best thing to happen to a (very young, impressionable) founder trying to grow his business. Pre-Sheryl ads were businesses having fb pages and advertising when your friend bought a product (very social-based). Post-Sheryl ads tracked you everywhere and learned about you.
Are you sure? :)

I like the idea of collaborating (through a platform); at the interface of techniques and ideas, life can be very stimulating. Especially so with interdisciplinary work extending past classical research boundaries.

I signed up. Looking forward to trying out the platform.

I hate Facebook more than most people, but I have to admit that I can believe this.

I noticed that the news always seems to go out of its way to find inhuman-looking badly-tinted photos of him making strange expressions. Lately he's become something of a scapegoat IMO, probably because an introverted billionaire with some creepy tendencies/background makes such an easy target.
