In 1999 I wrote a piece of PHP trouble ticket tracking software called Ticketsmith which eventually morphed into the foundations of ubersmith.com. I put the first tarball on my home PC (running Linux) and linked that URL to Freshmeat.net. It was so thrilling to sit there that evening, watching TV but looking over to see the Apache log tail process stream out as each person downloaded it to check it out. Very visceral.

I'm sure Houston works for you, but it just isn't the happening place on many people's radars. We could split hairs about its benefits; e.g.

* Economy comes and goes with natural resource boom bust cycle.

* America's most obese city

* A huge sprawl with bad traffic and poor public transportation

There are other cities that match some of those qualities that I don't much care for, but I can see why a lot of people wouldn't mind and go for the cheap housing there as a decent trade off.

But in my original comment, my only point was that you can't judge how great a city is based on how cheap its real estate is (and the correlation often goes the opposite way).

It's not. The meta site is low on specs, but they mentioned in the video that it's got 37% more pixels (and a bit higher density in the middle)

This means that for every 3 pixels on the quest 2 you now have 4. Not exactly a huge increase IMO. What's needed to reach the equivalent of a 24" 1080p monitor at say 2-3 feet away, still needs like a 2-4x increase in pixel per degree.

Personal anecdote:

Bought a Bumble Premium with a one time payment of ~120 EUR. In three months got only one match which led to a date. But what a date! We are in love now and I am quitting all dating apps I have used before.

My match was ONLY possible due to a Premium subscription. These 120 EUR were the best spent money of my live.
The tricky part is people have to be willing to pay for the plumbing in this case. I think that paradigm shift can take place, but we have to show them why it's worth it first, which is difficult due to network effects.
For example, She-Hulk had a scene where I'm quite convinced that it's hurting women, despite contrary intentions. The male Hulk had to overcome plenty of challenges to become halfway stable. The female Hulk skipped all that.

But that is the plot of pretty much every story about a woman in a role traditionally held by men, see for example Captain Marvel.

She-Hulk skips that part because that's not what the show is about; there are literally hundreds of shows or movies you can watch if that's the plot line you're looking for.
Everything good Google brought to Stadia always came from their strength as an Internet giant. Like Xbox in 2001, superior performance and backing of a large non gaming company didn’t compensate lack of content.

Zuckerberg is surrounded by yes men/women. That's the only explanation I can think of. I watched a few of their videos. The video with him talking about Zoom integration with Meta and splitting off in groups with avatars, etc. Does anyone really want to work like this?? The entire benefit of remote work is that I don't have to deal with this BS. Please stop trying to force these weird extroverted fetishes like avatar huddle groups and awkward virtual whiteboarding sessions onto remote work. We have 2d whiteboarding apps that already work!

Sure, you could obviously have a poorly functioning diverse workplace. Likewise, you could obviously have a poorly functioning lily-white all-male workplace.

The idea that diversity advocates are solely focused on diversity for its own sake is incorrect. There are two factors that typically play into it: one is practical (see my comment) and the other is moral (the belief that it’s inherently better if someone raised in a non-majority culture has an equal chance to succeed).

“Virtue signaling” is a tremendously non-useful term because it is always, always applied inconsistently. The dude I’m responding to used the phrase “CRT.” That ensures that we all know that he’s virtuous and recognizes the evil of leftist thought, but you’re not calling him a virtue signaler.

Don’t assume people who disagree with you are hypocrites. Maybe we’re just misinformed. “Virtue signaling” ends discussion and promotes division, and we really don’t need more of that in this world.
> They're basically negative influencers.

Anyone who tries new things (more than the average consumer) will find products that don't have traction yet, which in turn will be disproportionately likely to be discontinued.

This logic doesn't depend on their taste being better, worse, or different than other peoples'.
But is it true that the people who bought the products that fail only bought products that failed? Aren't they just early adopters? You win some, you lose some?

I bought a ZuneHD (I still think it was better than the iPod at the time), but I was also an early adopter of the 2nd gen iPod (wasn't a mac user, so couldn't get 1st gen).

I was running in minimalist footwear prior to FiveFingers. Early on the bandwagon of Bitcoin, Arduino, and many other things.

I've got a Microsoft Band, and had (and miss) my Windows Phone.

I'm trying to think of all the failed vs successful products I've had, but I've definitely had both.

I don't really believe there are people who buy failed products, there are early adopters, who will generally have many products that fail.
I happen to have a time machine. "After Zuckerberg retired to run for prime minister of the newly united Irish state, we conducted some serious soul searching. Turns out the only CEO in the valley with anything approaching taste was Steve Jobs! Gosh, who could tell at the time? Certainly not us."

Not anymore. Depending on the freight train and operator just in time logistics have priority over anything else since a few years. Recently there have been discussions to extend that priority inversion for things like coal, gas and similar due to our fuck-up, also in combination with temporarily dried up rivers which inhibits freight ships and barges.
False dichotomy. I spent a couple of paragraphs talking about this. Please read my post and try again if you really want to have a conversation.
What I used to love about OkCupid was how it would nudge you into writing a profile to tell who you are and what you care about. My profile had grown and it was a nice little place to present myself to the world and to talk to various women sometimes not even for dating but for the sake of an interesting conversation. Compare that with Tinder that won't even let you write more than small quantity of letters, come this is just text! There used to be an interesting thing where you would see who visited your profile and vice versa. Sadly the OkCupid website has been crippled into being unusable and the app is just a worse tinder now. Profiles are short, and mostly uninteresting.
For me it's not about the collection of the data, it's about what the company does with it. I don't love that Google makes a fortune harvesting my data for targeted advertising, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make to in order to use their services sans fee. OTOH I am not willing to support a company that has been shown to use their masses of data to influence election results or engineer a behavioral addiction to social media.

> the male role model "grit and hard work" model doesn't convey to men that you can lean on others.

Perhaps that hasn't been portrayed in a while, but then again, when was the last time men and boys actually had a role model and one with actual "grit"? Yes, we have male protagonists, and ones with substantial authority and muscle growth, but it's been a long time since I've actually seen a legit role model.

The reason you can't easily convey a value about depending on others is that modern storytelling requires that every character must be significantly flawed. Having one character lean on others only is called for if that creates an opportunity where said character can be betrayed, which is useful for dramatic purposes.

Look at any plot from a movie before the 2000's that's focused on a strong male character. Usually there's a subplot where he's got to rely on some other guy or inspire other men to take action when they otherwise wouldn't.

> However, there are so many more male role models with different ways to grow and improve, whereas women are really treated as not needing to.

This is reality. You are describing the quintessential male experience. Having to start with nothing and work your way up (or fail) is what it is to be a man. We are not told we are handsome or attractive by anyone but our mother unless we find a partner who can express that or if we are a 9 or above on the decile scale. Women aren't as greatly valued for their problem solving capability as they are for their beauty and reproductive capability. That's just how it is based on how the sexes differ, and it isn't even something that necessarily has to be fixed. People who deviate from the norm shouldn't be forced into roles that don't suit them as individuals, and those who it a norm shouldn't have to give up who they are in order to satisfy the minority.
These will diverge. It isn't worth it to refactor since you'll just introduce new bugs. Keep a glossary or a naming spreadsheet if there are too many to remember.

There's a genre of explaining Russia that is popular this year. Lets call it Kotkinism. We want to understand it, but we don't. We either admit we don't understand their motivations, or we conjure justifications that make sense to us because they fit our framework of the world, even if they are not true.

Would I actually understand it after this 7 hour documentary? I think I might understand something of the Russian bitterness. The betrayal, the distrust, and the pride of endurance.

But I don't think 7 hours of cold hands rummaging through bare store shelves, shuffling babushkas, and men making ad-hoc repairs to cars will help me understand Russian aggressiveness. Maybe Russian suffering.

So are the passwords of everyone logging in to this very website (stored in user space). I think you are confusing user/privilege separation with kernel-userspace separation.

You have not yet made a point. How can distributing a user-space shared library, no matter how fully loaded with ancient security holes, decrease the amount of security of your system?

Totally sure malware authors are going to compromise the files of an ancient game in order to trigger some bug in a library to get to your tax returns. No way they will not just change the game exec or something.
Your stance, that audited C code is "just as memory safe" as new Rust, is wildly outside of the mainstream of software security. You're entitled to your opinions, but you're unlikely to find many qualified people to dive into a debate as unproductive as that. Plenty of carefully audited C code has later been found to have terrible flaws, and likely will again in the future.
They probably calibrated them on Mark Zuckerburg.

Modern Emacs, at least, works better in GUI mode than in terminal mode. It's got a different style and design philosophy than VSCode et al—which results in a steeper learning curve for most people—but it's absolutely comparable in capabilities and general experience.

Pretty sure the same is true for Vim or Neovim, but can't vouch for them because I do not use them myself.
In all the past years Carmack did a couple extra hours of talks/questions in random online VR rooms. These were just as info-dense as the main talks, and Carmack was even a little looser in them, but it was so hard to find.

I just have to hope a random person in the room will be recording their VR session!
> "Counteracted" by force through tension in the cable. Which relies on the cable holding up its own weight. So, in no way "effectively weightless", unless you consider a regular bridge deck weightless because cables are holding it up.

No. That is ridiculous and wrong.

The cable is not holding up its own weight, the centrifugal force is. The tension comes from the anchor point and the centrifugal force only. Weight is entirely counteracted and is no longer a consideration.
"Every other game in the world"? Few other games are VR with human avatars and involving so much variation in real time.
Nursing is not relatively high paying. The opposite. When you look at the training required and the hours you have to put in, it's underpaid compared to male dominated professions that require similar training and hours.

Researchers analyzed 50 years of U.S. Census data and found that pay drops when professions move from predominantly male to female – in short, if women do a job, it’s likely to be low-paid, for no other reason than that women’s work is undervalued.

It's really unfortunate to see a whole ecosystem trying to ossify this problem with even more dependence on a monopoly.

"Optimized out" doesn't just cover a variable simply being in a register. The code might have been adjusted such that the variable's value isn't stored anywhere any more, or some derivative value is stored instead. So in the general case, it's quite a complex problem.
Seems crazy that progress has been so slow. I was playing games at 1080p, 72Hz/fps, literaly 21 years ago. The only games with a lock were games with hilariously broken physics engines.

> Personally, I remember fighting with impedance issues with the many different string types of Rust.

It's because Rust gives very low-level control over strings. If what you want is a string the same way as they work in other languages, including D, then use String. If you want very fine control over memory allocation or want the string to be fixed length, then you use a type that guarantees those properties.

String will work with anything, at the cost of having little control over its allocation or representation.
Constance Wu called this “whole human representation” in her interview on the daily show and compared it to the model minority problem.
D wasn’t on my radar until recently, when I was curious if there were any languages with C++ interop out of the box. The two languages I stumbled on were Nim & D, although they understandably have some caveats. After spending some time reading the docs, I’m really interested in trying out both, but especially D.

Side Note: Why don’t I ever hear about Nim anymore??? It’s version 1.68 (and presumably stable), has very approachable syntax, claims great performance, provides a package manager, and allows the GC to be turned off (much like Dlang). What gives?

This reminds me of when the Australian government did blind recruitment.

"Blind recruitment means recruiters cannot tell the gender of candidates because those details are removed from applications."

Adding a woman's name to a CV made the candidate 2.9 per cent more likely to get a foot in the door."

You made a pretty bold claim about the inherent value of diversity; if you cannot support it with evidence, the failure isn’t with me.

Efforts to increase diversity this late in the pipeline come at the cost of other priorities, including (and perhaps especially) merit, and are, almost without exception, advanced through patently discriminatory practices.
