I'm curious who does this well? I've personally not found any specific language or framework that is better than others unless you're using their preferred libraries. At that point it depends more on the library authors than the base framework.

For newcomers, I would say the best user experience (no matter language/framework) is provided by code hinting such as GitHub GitLens & competitors do. If I'm using an unfamiliar framework/language it's great at suggesting what I might want without me having to search.

You might really like the new .NET minimal APIs that are being built for web development. They're very similar to a Node.JS style of API.

In regards to logging specifically, I've found swapping logging tools fairly easy & straightforward as far as adding the logging in the code base. If there has been anything challenging it's been outside the code base & setting up the infrastructure or learning the logging's reporting tools. I'm curious what was challenging for .NET with you. It's usually as simple as using Ilogger no matter the tool & writing a few lines in the program.cs file.

I can only vouch for the realism of his description of a hospital in his Cancer Ward (published in 1966), and for a scene of phonetic spectral speech analysis in In the First Circle (1968). Both unusually lifelike and showing first-hand experience.

Slightly tangential, but I still see news headlines use "Facebook" where it technically should be "Meta". I assume this is because only techies know what Meta is; everybody knows what Facebook is.

TPMs would not have helped here. The problem is that some boot code must come first. That bit of boot code, if it can be rooted, can lie about the code it's loading, and so the TPM can't help.

The only way a TPM could help is if it was the boot loader. But that can't be, not unless the TPM were a firmware TPM running in tight cooperation with the ME.

I agree that comment was bizarre. Outsourcing and disregard of human rights abuses in supply chains are not remotely limited to the US Democratic party. Especially since the article itself talks about China.
Which is why you sue to establish precedent.
I mean, so far the three titles I would call "non-Indie", those being Fallout VR, Skyrim VR and HL: Alyx, are PC VR exclusives.

Stuff like Beat Saber and VRChat which are the most succesful VR games, predate the Quest, and are probaby helped that beat saber only needs the motion controls part of VR - were it not for facebook using it to sell the Quest nowadays, we would have had a switch port by now I feel.

And VRchat doesn't even require VR, it also has a regular desktop client.
I guess the tradeoff is that underselling allows you to juice your CLV estimates even more with inflated upsell figures.

From a purely cynical perspective, which is best probably depends on the market and maturity of the business and cost of sale: can you tell more convincing stories about ability to keep doubling the number of new customers walking through the door like you did over the last few months, or how your product is so good larger customers are going to keep doubling their spend every few months like most of them did recently...
Or. And I know this is radical. But stop selling the 6 core and sell the 8 core for the price of the 6.

Yes revenue will fall, but your costs fell as well. Your margin should be roughly the same. Anyway, I thought that's what progress was supposed to be. We get better at making things, those things become cheaper.

I was pretty skeptical but for a few months I use VR every day for a quick midday workout to wake me up (thrill of the fight and pistol whip). Can't believe how much it can get your heart rate up with just head and hands monitored. I definitely think if they start monitoring your feet it'll be used for a lot of exercise

The only solid reason I've heard to buy Tesla over others is for the Supercharger network if you travel a lot or can't charge at home. Everything else comes down to preference.

Very yes. Litigate in small claims, win, and move on with life.
I'm wondering how much of this is inflation vs. supply chain constraints. I can't think of the last time I saw an electronics product like this with a substantial price increase so long after it has been released. The only comparable examples all involves supply crunches.

What is this accounting?
The trouble is, the new buyer can't charge the thing from a Tesla station until they have a "Tesla account", which means accepting Tesla's EULA, which means giving them control of the vehicle again. Muahahaha!

Now, if someone bought the vehicle, and never signed up for a Tesla account, they might have a good criminal case for "exceeds authorized access" under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Because the original owner's obligations to the seller don't bind the new owner. (This is called "privity" in law. If A has an obligation to B, and B has an obligation to C, A does not have an obligation to C.)

This usually comes up in the other direction, where someone bought a used Tesla, the relevant DMV recognizes the transaction, but Tesla does not.[1] But it sometimes comes up when someone moves a Tesla to another country, which apparently causes Tesla to treat the vehicle as "unsupported".

Expect this to become more of an issue as more used Teslas are around, and there are more third party repair operations.

Quest has black and white passthrough. Next-gen's model (Project Cambria) has full color pass-through cameras that supposedly feel realistic enough. Current passthrough is good enough that I can walk through my house headset-on.
The amount of redundant scientific/medical/industrial image file formats is amazing. Just off the top of my head there is DICOM, FITS, NIFTI, NRRD, plus TIFF.

They all have the basic property of having raster data of arbitrary channels/depth plus a whole bunch of metadata.

It feels like every new industry I work with I discover they have their own redundant image format.

Internet of Extortion. What a time to be alive.
I was going to mention this also, software defined processors, where you have to pay intel to unlock features. But the original buyer unlocks and sells the PC, it should revert to the stock and limited cpu.

Here they gave the owner a 90, then came back and limited it to 60, after the fact, years later.
They were taking massive losses on Quest 2. So this is a sign that the VR division is needing to tighten some belts on the losses, or that manufacturers have raised prices that this is required for them to maintain same Loss ratios and there wasn't stomach to take even further hits.

Given the stated focus of the company (to the point of renaming to highlight VR focus) I would imagine it's the supply side of the equation.

Also another callout is that I believe Quest 2's have been getting passive upgrades, with newer models having more base storage and other small enhancements.

Another callout is that its common wisdom that advertising is first to be cut during recession, so this might be pre-emptive belt tightening sense their projections show its not palatable anymore to take the same level of loss.
The game asks you whether you want standard joystick-based movement when you start it.
Are you even playing SimCity anymore if you don't have disasters? Might as well turn on unlimited money while you are at it.

Saying you can break the game, but first you have to turn off the balancing mechanics doesn't seem as impressive.
My perspective is that this simply begs the question, "How does one buy and sell a used Tesla vehicle?"

And by doing a bit of research, we arrive at the throat of the issue. Tesla is a competing Used Tesla Dealer, this is listed in their 10K as a part of their automotive segment:
- https://www.tesla.com/support/ordering-used-tesla

This page provides no clear guidance on how licenses transfer for "upgrades." Presumably that's in the licensing details for each "upgrade." In other instances, such as Full-Self Driving it's called a "subscription" which has a clearer implication. I seek the EULA for the vehicle itself, which should detail that part of the ownership lifecycle, but it doesn't seem to be public.

The consumer may be able to work a state-permitted return:

That's modern windows UI, maybe. I don't have any qualms with KDE UIs and still has most qualities you said.
> A decade or so ago you used to be able to unlock cores on certain AMD CPU's; there was no guarantee that the core would be stable though. The core could be fine without heavy load and have errors when pushed closer to 100%.

That also used to happen a lot with Intel CPUs, especially late in a product cycle: after refining fab their yields would be so good there wasn't any "bad" part to bin down, so they'd just soft-disable cores on high-end parts (I think after a while manufacturers started fusing the cores).
I think this is why Ford has said it’s going to do electric vehicles direct. I can’t remember if they’ll use a different brand or not.

In Utah, where I am, it’s going to be a bit of a hill. I hear we have some laws to protect the local dealerships. Tesla dealers are just showrooms here and I don’t think they sell anything on-site. Could be wrong about all this.
If everyone behaved as you do, we probably wouldn't have any progress.
This sort of justification would never fly if we were talking about modding ICE vehicles:

* Illegal to replace your own brake rotors or pads, as faulty ones can cause safety issues.

* Illegal to replace your own headlights, as bad ones could be too dim or too bright and cause safety issues.

* Illegal to change your own oil, as bad ones could seize up your engine in the middle of the road and cause safety issues.

* Illegal to install a turbocharger, as that makes your car accelerate faster than the manufacturer likes and could cause safety issues.

The end result of this line of thinking leads to a million dollar tractor that a farmer can't fix when they need it most. I much prefer the idea that people are individually responsible for any modifications they choose to make to their cars.
You can develop a bit of a tolerance to it over time.

Personally, I used to get instantly motion sick and now I can stomach games where I walk around freely, at least for half a hour or so. Actual flying or swimming wont ever be in the cards though, I fear.

So yeah, if you develop a game, you absolute need to offer teleport style controls or some people will not be able to play it. I guess this is also a hurdle with just adopting existing games/genre to VR as they often rely on fast dynamic movement which would make people puke in VR.
While I get that there are various reasons as to why a company may not want to provide feedback, I recently interviewed for a company that:

- reached out to me through a recruiter

- had me go through multiple interview rounds and a take home

only to ghost me afterwards entirely (even after my asking for feedback). Once a candidate has invested time, you would think common decency dictates keeping them in the loop properly. But even that appears to much to ask in the current climate.
It's also kind of silly when you're not anonymous to Mullvad or to the data centers Mullvad pays to run its services out of. They have your IP address, and it's not that hard to go from an IP address to an ISP to an identity.

Don't get me wrong. I think Mullvad is a great VPN service. But if people think it's a bullet-proof solution to the problem of anonymity, they're fooling themselves.

to be clear, even though i ranked them, my bar for a good film is whether i'd watch it again or not, and all the ghibli films i've seen, except perhaps arrietty (i haven't seen earwig or earthsea, but the consensus seems to be against those as well), are well worth watching again and again.

grave of the fireflies is heartwrenching for sure, and absolutely worth watching again (when you have tissues and a loved one to hug nearby).
Worth noting that this really only equates to a $50 increase on the base model compared to release since it was originally released as a 64GB set and now only 128GB is sold.
Same here, I can definitely handle games in which objects move towards you like Beat Saber or Thrill of Fight.

However, if I am moving through environment, I end up becoming motion sick very quickly. In some games like The Climb, I am actually okay with it. Because anytime I fall and forget to close my eyes, I will end up becoming motion sick. It sort of make me try harder to not make a mistake.

On other hand, I am tired of games that are rated comfortable but have too much motion. Like Until You Fall, love it but cannot play for too long no matter what settings I use.

Also another issue is far too many VR videos have camera pans, zooms, and other motions that make me sick. I have stopped watching VR videos because of this. Videos should have comfort ratings too.

Really wonder if people who get motion sick is minority or people who are making VR experiences are minority but they somehow don't experience any motion sickness. Hence, they are into VR.
As one who bought TSLA when it was in the low double digits, I thought for sure that we'd one day own a Tesla (we sure made enough off TSLA to justify one). But this situation is but one of many little duck bites that have now put us off the brand. Sure, a duck doesn't bite all that hard, but enough of those little nibbles can cause some harm. And so "pedo guy", "taking TSLA private", "no, FSD does not transfer to the next owner" (EDIT: bad example, apparently it does), "FSD for realsies this year", yada, yada, yada, and eventually it adds up to "I'm not validating that bullshit with a $75K purchase."

At the end of the day, given that Hyundai/Kia, VW, Ford, et. al, are all sold out of EVs for the year, we decided we'd just rather do without a new car than buy a Tesla. Hang in there, l'il 2011 Leaf; you've served us well so far.
Trolley buses cannot be detoured and the infrastructure costs are enormous, as is the cost of even a minor route change.

Battery technology continues to improve in cost, energy density, and charge/discharge rate. There are already systems that use a catenary-like device to "top off" the bus while it is stopped at a bus stop.
There were some very powerful software upgrades you could preform on GPUs... https://verrytechnical.info/safely-unlocking-extra-shaders-i...

Would AMD have been in the right to force a bios downgrade in the next driver release?

Also that LTT and a related Gamers Nexus video convinced me to buy an obviously counterfeit "Nvidia GTX 970" from ebay, report the seller for the sale, I got to keep it, I got refunded, and then with the money I bought a bios writer and flashed the card back to a "Nvidia GTX 550 Ti".
Exactly. And if you aren't used to it, you can easily mess it up. You get things that don't last as long as you expect, or too much of an ingredient.

Once you have a decent set up and pantry, it's not bad. But if you need 5 spices to try a recipe, you're looking at at least a $15 home cooked meal. For one person.
I've seen the mix of VR and Ar called XR, or Extended Reality. That is what Quest Pro is.
I agree with the parent poster that the seller carries some of the blame, here, but that sounds like a good law.
Or... you can just use your phone + Android Auto / CarPlay. You will achieve same effect without connecting your car to the internet. And I will rather sacrifice preheating / precooling if it means, that I will keep control over my car.
i dont think 3d tv was ever "really cool".
Most of these are possible with the smartphone you've already got and using the car as a dumb display + sound system (via CarPlay or equivalent), with the advantage that the smartphone knows its place and the little amount of leverage it has on you compared to a car.
Congrats on the launch, Heyang! Excited for you and the awesome work on Blueboat/Magicboat
I've heard people complain about buying the Bolt, and also about low range of certain other models.

Who? Current Ford's great-grandfather?
Not the same person.
The key of this issue here is that there's a software lock that's been incorrectly unlocked. So it's a reasonable assumption that it might become locked again in the future. Regardless of the product, I believe that morally it needs to be disclosed to the buyer so that they can be aware of the risk and factor that into their buying decision and pricing.

> I don't think selling a car with a P90 badge that also includes the modifications needed to have that car act as a P90 is automatically wrong.

Neither do I. I'm okay with 'Here's my P60, that Tesla accidentally unlocked.' but not 'Here's my P90'.
Alternatively, they are projecting reduction in advertising revenue due to recession and feel they cant take the hit the same way anymore but would have continued if everything else remained the same.
I also have never tried it, and i actually work for meta.
I designed it to be local-first (local-only on Android, iOS didn't let me turn off internet permissions) and using an on-device encrypted database with required password to login. I think it was as secure as I could have made it, but I think I still have the worry of not being able to protect against state-sponsored attacks, or others that can get root access on the phone and install keyloggers, etc.

While I understand those are rare occurrences, I also didn't necessarily want to become a target like Signal. But maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion because Apple and Google have an incentive to make sure their phones aren't rooted, so maybe it would be a lot safer than I imagine.

I guess I also worry about law enforcement getting devices (legally or illegally) and having access to such deep info. What we say to ourselves in a journal often can be a LOT more honest than what we say to others in text messages, emails, etc.

Any thoughts on this?
> If that's true, why are drugs still a problem when we've had the War on Drugs for decades?

You seem to be reading his claim thusly: "The vast majority of drug dealers get caught; this happens because they were fingered by informants". This certainly does not seem plausible.

I took that sentence differently: "When we look at the subset of drug dealers who got caught, we can see that most of them were arrested after being identified by informants."
On the other hand, with CarPlay/Android Auto I can get 95% of that without needing to depend on the usually-shitty infotainment software.
