It's a remake that contains the entire original, as well as a lot of new content. As the creators put it:

I still have a quest 1.

I use it daily for fitness. I really love it, it's changed my life, and the exercise I get from it really makes me feel good, particularly someone that spends most of my weeks inside and working at a computer.

I've not enjoyed any other form of exercise but I really love this when combined with some of the fitness options such as FitXR.

It's a real shame this has gone up so much, wow it's a large increase, not even a small one, however this was the price of the Quest 1, the Quest 2 featured a price drop due to some cutbacks they made with the hardware, but it's still disappointing to see them do this, particularly with it being such a large raise in price.

I'm hoping my headset holds out until the Q3 or perhaps other options start coming on the market, perhaps from Apple. I don't care about VR gaming without a fitness element at the moment, as the games are a bit boring / not so fun for me, but for fitness it has been great.

Maybe you're right. However, much of the modern hardware business operates this way. At least Nvidia and Intel have been known to sell the same chips as different models, but just some part of the chip disabled via firmware.

SimCity. The original Civilization/Colonization. The Wing Commander series (privateer). Syndicate (1993). F-19/F-117. (The Janes sim series??) AAA doesn't mean high budget, just the highest budget games in the market at the time, those backed by market leaders.
This doesn’t match my experience at all. A lot of companies at the cutting edge know that nobody is ramped up on their area and aren’t trying to limit themselves to only poaching from competitors. In particular at big tech your previous scope and projects (like launching features, leading a feature or infrastructure team, shipping an entire product) are so much more important than eg your background in advertising - a background in advertising may be a plus for an advertising team, especially if you’re getting hired at a very high level (8+), but not a requirement or even target for recruiting purposes.

I know HN loves to hate on big tech but a lot of the cutting edge is there. IME startups and “less selective” companies are more focused on getting people with very specific experience because they can’t afford to train someone up or risk them being a bad fit - and while startups almost by definition are doing something different than incumbents, that doesn’t mean they’re the whole cutting edge. Or, they are old-school and bin everyone as a “Java spring boot dev” either because HR doesn’t understand what things are easy to learn and what are hard, or engineering buckets themselves into these fixed categories and has a kind of “my turf”/static mindset with no expectation to learn or work on new things.

There is a big difference in terms of privacy: LanguageTool is open source and you can run it on your own computer.

The spatial ETL tools I need are also better on Windows.

And then there's the support model. Of all my in house customers and clients, perhaps 2 or 3 out of potentially 100+ regular contacts have ever booted a Linux machine. Windows is familiar to them. Their customers, clients, and suppliers also use Windows for the most part.

All the above said, our cloud machines and most of our server stack are on Linux.

> but the dealership wanted to charge me a $15k "dealership fee"

Do your scare quotes mean you think it's unreasonable? It's supply and demand, isn't it?
Yep! If the buyer really wanted to go for someone, and assuming Tesla didn't cave re-enable the upgrade, their best bet is to go after the previous seller for misrepresentation of a 60 model for a 90. This also happens for cars sold as-is but where the dealer knows of defects and does not disclose. To quote someone else, "as-is does not cover fraud".

All in all, it probably wouldn't be worth the time and effort to actually do that though. And because the current buyer is two steps removed from the actual person who was around for the swap, they probably wouldn't actually get anything back for that effort since the middle person is also protected as they bought and sold in good faith.

I get where you are coming from but:

> I’d rather go outside, thanks

It's not like VR isn't actually awesome once you get everything to work reasonably well. I can't just "go outside" and storm the beach of Normandy, or "go outside" and throw fireball/duel with swords in medieval settings. The appeal of VR is that it's something else entirely, it's not a video game replacement, I can't play Pavlov for more than 1-2 hours but when I do play it, after a while I forget that I'm in a game. I am under MG40 fire with my squad in Normandy and I hear the bullets fly right next to me I get the rush that I only get in paintball.

And I say all of that as someone who used their Quest 2 for about 45 minutes the day they received it and spent the next 24 hours feeling dizzy.
The manufacturer has that control only if you want to use their services. If you are fine cutting the cord, 3rd parties can change the configuration for you.
I just tried out the AWS offering for CI/CD (CodePipeline/CodeBuild) and was disappointed with time-from-commit-to-deploy (to ECS, although it's the launch/build time I'm primarily concerned with here). It appears to waste 1-3 minutes on just queueing and provisioning a new VM to do the build. It's highly variable, too.

The main tradeoff (if the cost difference is insignificant) between this and a third party service like e.g. CircleCI appears to be between:

a) security (another service that can be comprised - with the implicit capability to instantly deploy something that owns your service)

and

b) latency/performance (CircleCI consistently starts builds within a few seconds)

How do you think about these things?
No I don't think I agree.

To use a different example someone brought up - imagine your CPU breaks in your laptop. You send it to the manufacturer, and they replace it with a higher model CPU because <reasons> - cool, right? You sell it advertised with that better CPU, then the next owner has to send it in for another, completely unrelated repair, and the manufacturer then says "oh we noticed the last repair fitted more powerful CPU than intended, so we removed it and fitted the original spec CPU".

That wouldn't be just immoral, that would be actual theft.

The matter of fact is, after the warranty repair the guy was given a car with a bigger battery and the bigger capacity enabled in software. Whether Tesla intended to do this or not, is completely and utterly irrelevant - it was his to keep and sell. Now Tesla taking this away should be(but probably isn't) illegal. You have a product with a feature X, Tesla removed that feature and in fact holds it ransom for payment - the fact that they never intended to install it is irrelevant.

To use a different example again - imagine you buy a new car and the factory made a mistake and fitted an extra option that you didn't order. Is the manufacturer in the right to remove that part during your next service?

The vast bulk of air travel is either intranational (domestic flights) or intracontinental (as with Europe, Asia, and Africa). For both, a well-developed high-speed rail network competes exceptionally well.

Short-haul flights are comparatively less efficient than long-haul as the high-energy take-off portion represents a greater fraction of total flight time. Once airborne, aircraft are remarkably efficient --- rougly on par with (single-occupant) automobile travel on a per-kilometer basis. (On a unit-time basis, of course, consumption is roughly 10x greater, and the induced travel via the Jevons paradox from reduced costs is considerable.)

But developing high-speed rail networks within countries and contiguous continental regions substitutes for a huge fraction of air travel.

It might also offload a considerable amount of overnight / express cargo delivery which presently moves by plane. Cargo utilisation of HSR might balance out passenger travel patterns and allow flexible capacity response to boot.
Ha I guess you are right, not sure when they rebranded it from Echo Arena to Echo VR.
For TCP the state required to maintain the socket in the kernel is invalidated on error and needs to be reset. The only way to do this is to explicitly perform the connection setup again. An extended timeout only delays this process since the remote side will have invalidated its state as well.

UDP packets require no connection but you still might see some sort of re-synchronization code to reset application state which could be called "reconnect".

Being in the legal field, I need to transfer documents and be sure they are formatted correctly. LibreOffice is maybe 90% as easy as Word at creating documents, but editing and saving Word files it frequently messes up something. Sometimes it's minor and sometimes it's not, but I'm not going to spend 11⅑% more effort making documents in addition to taking that chance just to avoid Microsoft.

In addition, there's nothing close to Outlook. Thunderbird works okay, but it's definitely not an acceptable replacement. I'd sooner use Outlook's webmail.

I tried to buy one of these this month. The dealership I went to has a policy of not selling over MSRP, which I appreciate. As a result, they are no longer even taking names for the RAV4 Prime waiting list because they estimate the wait is 2-3 years.
Oh I did. I'm not calling it "ransom" or other rhetoric. You did a fantastic job of justifying what they did though.

The fact that you can do so was actually my whole point: You can totally justify this! ...and yet... someone still feels like they got fucked. ...and people on the internet agree. That is the antithesis of harmony. Some amount of dissonance is unavoidable, but there are many brands and businesses out there that make sure if a mistake was made, customers leave feeling good. The point is that there are better ways to do business and maintain more harmony between you and your customers, and I've seen many companies be deeply rewarded for that as a whole. It does however often come at the expense of degraded metrics middle managers are commonly evaluated by. Penny-wise pound-foolish is very old wisdom. I think the real key is to evaluate from a systems perspective how that kind of dissonance can be avoided.

How do you come to this conclusion? Sincere question. I'm not posting personal anecdotes to support or disprove your argument, I have an opinion, and it may or may not overlap with yours.
I haven't worked with a big FP codebase, but I actually thought about this when doing even small toy programs in FP. Sometimes I'm like... do they merge the multiple-sequential-maps that's possibly being done here? Does the code re-use the elements of map that doesn't change? Whereas was it C# or Go, I could just read it.

OTOH isn't that just - you need to know what the function you are calling is doing and how, and read the doc. Whereas in imperative you would implement it yourself, with the pitfalls of that.

If you are coding in Python and you are using a lot of numpy you need to know how to feed data in, how to get data out, etc. so maybe FP programming should treat the STD-lib more like an external library because the building blocks are a bit more high-level?

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I can understand the "hack" feel -- it's a trade-off. If I wrote it the "proper" way and integrated directly into the SQLite source or used a VFS then it'd be a lot harder to deploy for most folks. By making it a FUSE file system, someone can use it without really knowing much about it from the application's perspective.

As for strategy, it unfortunately doesn't work to layer with Litestream as backups need some strict control over who is the current primary. Instead, I'm adding S3 replication support [1] directly into LiteFS. LiteFS also uses a different transactional file format called LTX so it wouldn't be compatible with Litestream. The LTX format is optimized for compactions so point-in-time restores can be nearly instant.

The end goal isn't much of a secret. We want to let folks spin up nodes in regions across the world, automatically connect to one another, and have the whole thing have the ease of a single node app. We still have a ways to go on that vision but that's what we're going for.
