I've got a Oculus Quest 1 which I use for fitness it's perfect for me, because it gets me moving and my heart rate up and I hate normal exercise / gyms.

The other thing I have used it for is to watch movies and sync my screen from my PC. It's a bit awkward for this so i've stopped using it (due to poor battery, being too large bulky, annoying to setup with the VR features getting in the way like boundaries etc).

However, when it did work watching a movie on it was great. To me it seemed like this was far better in terms of the view/screen than a top end TV, so it seems obvious to me that glasses can be the future of watching.

Why have multiple screens? I can have a laptop for portability and then at home, pop on my glasses and have whatever type of screen setup I want, better than any monitor setup, want to watch TV or a movie? Pop the glasses on and it's the same as being at the cinema, in your own home.

No need to take up space with a desktop computer + monitor or TV, no need to worry about finding the right place to set everything up, can literally do it from anywhere with a touch of a button. Heck can take laptop to hotel and watch movies from there and have the same experience I would at home.

I'm surprised there is not more focus on something like this. Perhaps this is something Apple are going to do with all there rumoured moves into this space.
Oh yeah the Richard Garriot one is my absolute favorite. I love Ultima Online, and the B-roll footage of the wolf-head pipe just kills me.
FTP is older than IP. At this point it's probably immortal.
There were a bunch of games based on the original "Star Trek" game. You might be thinking of "Star Fleet"

> However, suppose the law changes this year. Some biscuits are now cakes, some cakes are now biscuits.

> Cakes can be cakes in both 2021 and 2022 law, but I don't think anyone will be confused if you write down according to what law they're considered cakes.

But all cakes are biscuits and always have been, better in every way.

And many cake-biscuit packages just say the year the cake upgrade was invented.

So if you put the cake year on something, people expect those biscuits to also be cakes, and not just biscuits.

Even if the packages are supposed to say "cake", what actually happens in practice should be taken into account.

As long as you only ever use packages from your distro's packaging system.
OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive have worked perfectly for me over the years. There are like 1000s of file sharing apps and protocols with every imaginable flavour. I guess your issue is related to using iOS, which is a walled garden, not a solution not existing.

> had no warrant to search or seize the goat from the farm that it was at

If Sonoma Farm resisted the police, sure, there might be a Fourteenth Amendment claim in respect of the search. There is no indication they did. That makes the seizure totally valid.

I'm very confused as to what threat model leads to this concern on an unsandboxed (predominantly) single-user desktop OS such as macOS.
Teach your kids about gambling, AND investing (and the absolute sorcery that is compound interest).

There's no house edge when it comes to investing (especially in the days of $0 commissions), and if you're talking securities rather than derivative contracts, usually, if you lose, you don't lose your entire bet. And meanwhile, closely tracking your companies to see what's worth buying is bound to be more educational than tracking stats for an athlete, as it turns out, learning the ins and outs of how companies work can teach you about jobs that exist that you never knew about.

You almost need to be taught a good amount about gambling to see just how different thoughtful investing is from actual gambling (particularly when hearing folks less educated equate the two).

On Wednesday, the networking platform released its annual Top Companies list identifying the 50 best places in the U.S. for professionals to grow their careers. Amazon ranked No. 1 on the list, followed by Alphabet (Google’s parent company) and Wells Fargo.

From the LinkedIn article:

LinkedIn Top Companies is a ranking of the 50 companies that are investing in their talent and helping people build careers that will set them up for long-term success.

Our 2022 LinkedIn Top Companies list is the 6th annual ranking of the 50 best workplaces to grow your career, all based on unique LinkedIn data. These are the companies that are offering stability in our ever-changing world of work — the ones that are not only attracting workers, but retaining them.

And this survey has nothing to do with quality of environment. This list, and the accompanying article, are completely meaningless.
I like this view: you take care of a lot of the conventional concern we while also some futuristic ones like Pre-Crime in Minority Report.
Special mention to Sango Fighter, it was a Street Fighter knock off that actually played pretty dang good on a 486/33, had decent art if not great audio. Mechanics overall were not bad but not amazing.

I consider epic pinball something that time has forgotten, mostly because I am amazed there has not been a proper spiritual successor (that I am aware of)

Moraff's world was my first experience with a 'roguelike'.

Randomly generated worlds, rpg stats, trippy monster art. Had a NESW view, more or less turn based.
Not only that. But broadening the scope just a bit. These polypropylene masks might have a marginal benefit (the famous Guardian yt video shows its a small one) for small virus sized particles of breath. Yet are a big issue for plastics in our food supply and over all trash in the oceans. Marginal affect for thousands of years of microplastics.

Can someone be concerned about the actual pollution (benzene, pthalates, and heavy metals) While also realizing that we share an atomosphere with China and India. (Game theory abounds)

CO2 bad... buy electric car good- Is all people seem to want to think.

Nuclear is a clear option for limiting CO2, but that's unspeakable. Now climate activists are on the same side as big oil. Neither of you want us to look at modern nuclear technology.

It would need more than a gyro - if it's fixed in space the optics are very different and much simpler, and the required screen resolution is completely different.
> That being said, CF is still in the right for the stand they’re taking on not being a content regulator of their base internet utilities.

This is entirely unrelated to the issue of if they should stop offering their services to known Very Bad People. Nothing about current events with CF is related to regulating content.

Yup, i don't think this even applies to fashion, after all it's just reconstituted fashion.

The most obvious application of this is to replace, augment or make more economic live action computer graphics techniques.

That could actually be pretty interesting though, liberating even, because it would open up a previously incredibly expensive field... giving more access to compete with CG previously only available to high budget hollywood. Imagine if manipulating a live action scene was as easy as dropping some descriptions into some program and paying for a little compute.
I've never been into mysteries, particularly, but I'm reading "And Then There Were None" right now. Mostly to see how she does it.

Note that this "study guide": https://www.studymode.com/essays/And-Then-There-Were-None-My...

Or if you make TC, from 'from programming to prison'.
Baked-in obsolescence.

Everyone knew of these issues and has known of these issues for ages. Why would they not address these well-known issues? The desire to sell new devices and/or support is most likely why.
But can't that experience be had under different circumstances - like a meditation retreat, or travel to a completely new country?

Meditation practice under a guide, can rewire your brain much like psychedelics.

Not to diss on psychedelics - but there is way too much hype about it being a miracle cure for all your psychological ailments.

Psychedelics are wonderful but dangerous and to be used under the right set and setting, a bad trip can induce psychosis and my fear is people with existing mental ailments will start popping psychedelics - not paying much attention and end up in a far worse place than they started.

Hopefully it is regulated.
That’s true, but it beggars belief that the civilisation Atlantis conjures to mind would leave zero physical evidence of significant structures behind.
I don't quite get the argument. If SLS and rest of those rockets belong to a same category, and reliability in the same level as well, what's the point of pointing that out...besides I believe Delta IV Heavy is towards the side of more reliable and regular launching rockets
It turns out it's actually pretty easy to distinguish "wiggle the mouse" from "a truck just drove by nearby and triggered a one pixel movement". Microsoft should have quite a few employees that could figure this out.
This guide is written like the homebrew people force you at gunpoint to use it.

They don’t.

If you don’t like homebrew’s defaults and want to write a guide on how to change that, there’s no need to make it sound this aggressive.

For most people homebrew is an easy to use solution to install software and its dependencies and keep them up to date.
That’s simply not true, lots of organizations provide tremendous value to our economy but aren’t full of rockstar engineers.

The norm is that lost tech orgs are just mediocre, we should meet them where they are instead of saying they are screwed
A user level mTLS certificate can provide time limited access to a system. A federated identity system can issue these certificates that convey what a person can do.

There does need to be a bootstrap phase to register the device the first time, but beyond that, access should be time limited and device specific.
Reductio ad absurdum: "I should be considered innocent for committing this crime, your honor, as I was unaware of what my thoughts meant at the time as it was not during meditation."
It seems like the bubble that’s been bursting for the last couple of years obvious to anyone paying attention is that microdosing is not equal to the sum of its doses.

The studies which show inspiring results on hard problems like PTSD and depression involve high dose, singular experiences, and because of the nature of that high dose, a lot of preparation takes place, weeks or months sometimes and a lot of care planned out via therapist.

I believe it was a Roland Griffiths study that showed that if the subjective and measured (brain scan) experience was not consistent with a deeply spiritual experience, the positive long term effects did not come.
If you have 15 to 50k to put in a non productive, unsellable asset, you're at least upper middle class, even in the US. Bourgeois see themselves as middle class as much as working class do. Funny.
I agree with some of what you said. Except:

It’s hard to profit from a home in Tokyo outside of being a developer. That’s a good thing. But you’re implying you can have your cake (affordable housing) and eat it too (profitable housing). Not true. You can have largely affordable with only a few making profits, but not the majority.

It’s less about lack of regulation on the individual level than for developers, which I think is important to distinguish. Both are good, but being able to build more / rebuild easily are more important than say regulations on types of pools.
I saw a comment that stuck with me once: "Ruby people don't get root", referring to an unwillingness to trust Ruby tools or the ruby community as it got closer to his system.

This rule works surprisingly well.
The number one issue with this is that it only works if you're alone.

If you want to watch a movie/tv show with friends or a significant other, a screen is mandatory
Did I say that it was bad? Nope.

> Instead of peace propaganda, Ukrainians create memes about bombings.

I think if you're defending from a war of aggression, you might be able to flex now and then when things go alright and maybe even misspeak a few times and still avoid the judgment of history ;)
This is a story of stupid parents. They waited until the day of to bother doing anything. Then they absconded with the animal after it had been auctioned.

They should absolutely be allowed to back out of the auction with reasonable notice. And I can empathise—if someone came for my pets I’d do what was necessary, the law be damned. But they proceeded idiotically and are now filing petty suits against the cops of all people, cops who executed a warrant signed by a judge.
Whether it's true or not, I know for me personally I prefer a much darker screen to most other people. My monitor for example is currently on 0% brightness. I find bright monitors uncomfortable to look at.
Americans oversell the quality of their healthcare. American healthcare is actually just as bad as "socialized medicine", we just spend more on it and have less access.

"But you have to wait months for a specialist in Canada!"

That's different from the US system, how? Have you ever tried to get appointments? We're also booking many months out.

"Want this live saving surgery? Let's see if insurance will cover it first, you might impact our profits. "

K...

It all sucks, but at least everyone gets it in some places as opposed to the system working for a privileged few. Ironically, the US does have socialized medicine, it's called Medicare, which is wildly popular.

The US healthcare system is one of the strongest arguments for government take over.
True hence the need for regulation and proper diagnosis.
Muh diversity.
Or instead of all this, try MacPorts[0], which in my experience has 99% of what you need.

The biggest drawbacks are less support from quite niche packages (the ones that sets up its own homebrew tap), and a bit slower updates. But then I found it bearable much more than homebrew’s downsides.

Seems okay at my end.
I found "enterprise integration patterns" very interesting.
Out of interest, when do you have the cost of the rebuild written off in your calculations - many PC building enthusiasts enjoy a "Ship of Theseus" experience with their equipment; replacing parts piecemeal as and when they deem it necessary.

With the prebuild OEMs their unifying warranty is indeed a plus, but it becomes a curse when it's finished - it is frequently not possible to replace failed parts on these systems at reasonable expense, due to customised model-specific parts (non-standard motherboard shapes, non-ATX power supplies, weird CPU Cooler mounting hardware) - in the gaming world this is alive and well today in Dell's Alienware and own brand gaming PCs, and in the workstation world, basically anything Dual Socket is frequently super custom.

The custom build may have more utility after one of it's standardised components fails out of warranty, as this standardisation allows for a choice of replacement (either in matters of cost or performance). If the prebuild fails out of warranty you may have some eWaste on your hands if a non standardised component fails.
It’s a goat. It’s a young child.

Surely the world won’t stop because a minor doesn’t understand the full ramifications of a contract.

Get off your high horse.
I too suffer from obessively overcoming challenges. I will say this, in a snarky and friendly way. I hope you understand.

If developing with high level abstractions wasn't challenging enough, your vision was too small. Surely you can think of a problem to solve that even Copilot would be of little use.

Imagine what you could build if you got a little more help from third party libs and a little more ambition?
I’m 0 for 2 so far trying to get stuff built with nix working on an M1 machine (for open source projects that use it). Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but my personal experience with it so far has been bad.
What an odd comment when the post contains this:

> It is mostly for fun and exercise in language design, I don't have any grand aspirations for it.
It "sort of makes sense" as much as the invasion of Ukraine does.
And less fun ones, like the story that some American soldiers supposedly made Vietnamese women dressed in nylon stockings (to create static) walk well ahead of them on patrols to set off mines ahead of them, killing the women. Dunno if it's true but 'twas said.
I prefer MacPorts, which uses /opt/local by default. /usr/local is for things I build myself / install manually.
No, your guess is wrong as I had no business license at the time and the local tax/insurance agency would come after me immediately (because nobody would've been paying my mandatory insurance).

I had 25 days of vacation (standard here, 5 days over minimum). The US company had to register with the local tax agency - there is a standard procedure for this situation. Applicable labor law is based on physical location specified in contract so my local law had to be followed.

You don't usually sue companies for violation of labor laws here - you go to the labor agency and complain, then they sort it out. I didn't have any problems though, so I don't know much about this.
I used to get mysterious lockups on my personal PC. Turns out I had a habit of touching the case with my leg, and when enough static built up on my chair, the zap from my leg would crash it.

The thing is still going, knock on wood!
People need food, housing, education and health more than they need iPhones.

Everyone needs these, not everyone needs an iPhone. Which means a country where everyone has their basic needs covered but no one has an iPhone, I would say, is a better country to live in (on average) than a country where half of the people have iPhones and houses and the other half doesn't have either houses or iPhones.

I think a lot of people fall into a trap of looking at their own circumstances and virtually move themselves to the other country, of course, as a software developer living in the bay area it's very unlikely you'll find a better place to live. You already have everything. But if you were to think "which country would you rather have been born in" the equation changes. Because in a country like the USA the chance of being poor or marginalised (think being born a woman or LGBT in a red state) is much higher than, say, France. Of course if you look at developing countries like Latvia the equation might change.

So, really, I think it's important to think about how much of our basic are covered for how much of the population.
Tipping only benefits a few select front of house staff and the owners of the establishment.

It really just benefits the owner of the establishment.

The difference between front of house pay and back of house pay in American restaurants is alarming. I am convinced that no other group of workers in the US is treated as poorly as back of house kitchen staff.

With that said, my wife and I are always generous tippers because we realize that you engage in an unwritten social contract each time you dine out.

But it’s just a way for all of us to subsidize the restaurant owners.

You can go downtown to any restaurant in Auburn, Alabama and find plenty of servers walking home with $300+ per 4-5 shift. The kitchen employees are lucky to earn $120 during their 10 hour shifts.
> We are on the verge of ending capitalism…

I am curious to see some data to back up your assertion.

Here is some data that suggests that the world economy is growing exponentially. Access to capital is a basis for this economy.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/world-gdp-over-the-last-t...

It is this same economic growth that has fueled the global rise in quality of life. This article (2016) shows improvement in quality of life over time:

https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2016/12/23/14062168/history...

But I stand ready to be corrected by your data.
My point overall is that not everyone is on the plane of existence you're on. For a cis-gender heterosexual white man that has reaped all of the privileges of being so it's probably pretty easy to see your perceived privilege talked about so patently. If you're someone who hasn't uniformly enjoyed those privileges this language is probably triggering. I don't think that intersectionality is about demonizing white men, but I do think it struggles with phrasing that is eventually used by some people to communicate that message.
Ask HN: Should Tesla make a golf cart (a.k.a. NEV)?
Yeah I encourage lots of people to try coding as a hobby the same way I encourage everyone to learn an instrument. Do it! Have fun!

But telling someone to learn to code as a career choice is only slightly less insulting than saying to learn guitar as a career choice.
> That complicates everything. Is this a USB-C cable that can support PD 3.1? Who knows! Because, not all USB-C cables NEED to support PD 3.1, some of them just need to transmit data at USB 2.0 speeds. Those can be made super cheap.

Assuming you just mean the higher power levels, I'd say that's one of the most minimal issues. Every cable supports at least 60 watts, and you rarely need to consider it.
Not necessary. She was not sentenced yet. And even sentence does not have to start right away.
I think the parallels between your story and Rick's story are few; the only one I see is that they both spent some time in prison.

Rick was a stupid 17-year old kid who did a stupid thing, and ended up being hired as a software dev two decades later in his late 30s after growing out of his stupidness as many stupid kids do.

Your guy committed a calculated crime very recently as an adult, and generally seems like a conman and a bit of a twat from your description.

This is one of those things where the specifics just make a world of difference. "Spent time in prison" just isn't detailed enough to make any sort of judgement one way or the other.
It's a gestalt imo, kinda like Lynch's Dune. Flawed film with lots of bad parts and bizarre decisions, but also unique and memorable enough to elevate it above 'just bad'
