The resolution is a real disappointment. Having experimented with a regular quest for virtual monitors its clear that insufficient resolution is one of the biggest problems currently. They have made some other improvements that in theory improve the effective resolution. I will watch the reviews to see how much that actually helps but its hard to imagine it making the kind of difference I think is necessary.
It isn't like the law is being enforced in any case-- as people are posting all over these threads the diversity policies are explicitly "fail(ing) or refuse(ing) to hire or to discharge any individual ... because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."

So really, GP poster got their wish-- companies are just not using their ability to ignore the law the way the poster expected.
It isn’t booming per se. But it is taking a stronger foothold.
The world is a cruel place, sometimes being direct is the only way to get a message across. The world has been treating adults like children.
The optics put the virtual image (if you remember physics class) of the screen about 1.2 meters in front of your eyes, not inches. Your eyes lens/focus muscles will be set just as if you were focused on something actually 1.2 meters.
I’m confused about your second point: isn’t the reader the one who gains the most from reading the best papers, independently of who’s the author?
Even great mathematicians try to put out garbage unaware of their senility in their final years. I've seen it personally, and the reviewer made contact with a friend of the author, who volunteered to be a pre-filter to avoid future embarrassment

That is missing a lot of context. They wanted everything to be Javascript and running on a $50 Smartphone. ( I think initially it was even lower than $50, but they rise it to $50 a bit later )

If there was ever anything that show how Silicon Valley and Tech, the modern meaning of "Software people" with little to zero understand of hardware and supply chain. This is it.

And Mozilla wasn't the only one, even Bill Gate said all hardware will eventually cost zero and be subsidised by running software and services.

The lack of understanding of hardware and Supply Chain, even after COVID and in 2022 still greatly baffles me.
This just tells why crypto is nowhere near anything except casino...
It is the same, with the quest Pro being the highest tier, as plainly stated by Zuckerberg.
Well, "climate change" is not something that's coming suddenly tomorrow. It's a gradual progress. At best one can prepare for specific rogue weather events caused by it, like floods or droughts, heatwaves, and so on.

As a dev/programmer with a dev/programmer's salary (in the US) one can downsize his expenses and save quite a lot of money, invest in a house in a place which is not expected to be extremely affected any time soon, and weatherize the house (e.g. install good insulation, solar panels, reinforce it against strong winds, arrange it so it has good air circulation for cooling, and so on).

The "apocalyptic" kind of preparations are BS imho, first because there's no sudden movie-like collapse, climate change is a long process, and society will adapt in several ways. Plus, if it comes to that, the cans in the bunker wont save you (and a post-apocalyptic environment aint gonna be any life worth living anyway).
I heard about some recent eBPF vulnerabilities and while I was looking at the kernel code for eBPF I noticed there was some relatively new IMA additions. It seems there’s quite a number of new security mechanisms that can be used with eBPF. Mostly the fact that they added IMA support just stood out to me and seems to say “you should definitely use it if you’re going to use eBPF.”

Of course IMA doesn’t really help much if it’s not used correctly

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YtgQKHwPAVBSHjcY@kroah.com/T/

It is interesting to hear about the problems that eBPF has but it would be helpful to see more people talking about ways that you can minimize the problems or reasons why you can’t

EDIT

This is also kind of interesting

> The challenge with double blind is anonymizing content that often relies on cited prior work.

You're the second person to bring this up, but I'm not sure why it's a problem. Just don't say "based on my own previous work" and instead say "based on previous work". I.e. cite yourself the same way that you'd cite anyone else's work.
well, I can tell you that "private prisons" are not the only cause for this push.

it's also that the other victims of the homeless don't particularly care for the needles, petty-thefts, fires, trash, vandalism, muggings, squatting, drugs, and rampant crime that goes hand-in-hand with the homeless encampments. sorry, i lost all sympathy out of personal experience with the 90 - 99% bad apples.

i don't dispute that private prisons might also see it in their best interests to push for this, but that's not the only reason. there's a hypothetical ideal, and there's probably plenty of real examples of sober, blameless, victimized houseless folks that just need help. but then there's the stark reality that 90-99% of the time is really not pretty.

Best thing, for the bad apples included, is to sober up in lockdown, not release back on the street.
> my guess is that Copilot stored a lot of GitHub accounts, and when we type "@", it autocompletes with any random ones from that list.

That’s not how that works and an mis-feature. No one would want a real username from a random list and there’s no reason to think it has a list of usernames somewhere. It for sure generates usernames in real-time the way you would if I told you to imagine a plausible one.

Working in VR often, I’ve realize dI don’t want virtual monitors at all. I want virtual app windows.
Many of the recent bridge hacks were easily preventable. Unfortunately when the dev himself is the hacker, no amount of active development would fix these issues

You mean like Elon Musk? When he came up with that giant box to extract kids from a cave with passages so narrow rescuers couldn't wear their air tanks on them, they had to push them ahead of themselves, reddit and HN and twitter were full of people defending him. There were even people defending him when he accused the rescue leader of being a pedo - simply because he was british and living in thailand.

Or how about the CEO of Brave, who apparently is an expert in public health, viruses, vaccines, epidemiology, etc? Endlessly defended here on HN any time his name comes up.
This is helpful, thanks! Could you please share a link from where to buy these?
But making green hydrogen has pretty bad efficiency. It could never compete with a heat pump using the same electricity source, even if it had an efficiency of 100%, since the heat pump has an efficiency of 200-400%.
Why do we use the really awkward, blackbox and sometimes networked machines that we do, manufactured by weird companies rather than whoever makes scantron machines or whatever?

Because they’re cheap, states have to fund their own elections, and no governor will ever fund an election over schools or infrastructure.

The real question is why elections are not federally funded. The answer is that states are afraid election funds will be withheld over speciously related issues, just as highway funds are withheld over drinking ages. IMHO the correct change is a constitutional amendment guaranteeing federal funding for all state elections that can’t be withheld for any reason.
Well actually the article is wrong on the markup, it should be neither a link nor a button, but a <details> <summary>
Are you aware of the Quest 2 that is $399?

>The population is not even massively growing so we probably will never have a space issue ...

Our massive real estate issues that are pricing people out of having enough space to live in the last decades, have less to do with the population growth in the world in this time frame and more to do with immigration and economic and building policies that must see the asset prices always go up by significant margins to "beat the market".

There's also the issue of location and internal and external migration where given a constant worldwide population, everyone is migration to the handful of cities with jobs, infrastructure and QoL, pushing prices up. I've seen this in my home country that saw a massive population decline yet a massive increase in real estate prices proving that the price of housing is not determined by taking the number of houses in the country and dividing it by the number of people in the country giving us the supply/demand ratio determining the housing price factor, as not people are competing for real estate but piles of money are, since it's also a speculative investment vehicle, and so the bigger piles of money are winning, regardless of the total houses to people ratio.

I've gone a bit off topic but my point is that the struggle for affordable living space is real and is gonna get worse despite the world population not increasing that much, as in traditional capitalist fashion, the banks, companies and people who already have wealth and assets will use it as leverage to aquire more of it, pushing the prices up, at the detriment of those trying to enter the market now with less capital.

TL;DR: The housing situation has nothing to do with population growth trends but everything to do with growing piles of money competing for a pie that's relatively fixed in size. This cannot end well.
You really can't..
That’s a lot of words. But does it generate revenue?
There's lots of legal things that groups can agree an entity "shouldn't" do, and lots of illegal things groups can agree "should" be done.

Even in a court, it's really not a 'should' question. It's a "is this legal, and what is the penalty" question.
Can confirm, both. KaiOS has tons of bugs and vendors usually ship old buggy versions. But the hardware itself often dies or has flaws, because it's the cheapest phone you can make with modern features (bluetooth, wifi, 4G LTE, a multitasking OS that can "run apps", etc).

The problems I see with KaiOS are 1) lack of aggressive development to fix bugs/features, 2) lack of vendors upgrading the OS on new handsets, 3) lack of vendors upgrading the hardware to run newer versions of the OS. And the market doesn't really care (or have a choice), they just need the cheapest phone possible that can check the weather forecast or email.

Until both developers and vendors give a crap about building efficient technology, they will continue to churn out bloated, buggy software on cheap hardware. Even Palm Pilot was more advanced than the crap churned out today.

If the "perpetrator" sold 483mm units on one account and bought 483mm units on another account, why did the market price rise so much?

Imagine buying a monitor and being forced to install the manufacturer’s app just to display stuff on it.

Eh. No.
That doesn't quite get you there, though. For example, it doesn't submit a form it is contained in when clicked.

There are some use cases where a <button> won't work (eg if you want to use flexbox), but even then I'd first re-evaluate how important that use case is, then reach for a properly tested library to turn another element effectively into a button [1], and only then try to implement it myself and probably forget some built-im functionality, breaking things for users and costing me lots of time.

The training set was open source code.

If you publish "TODO(@name)" in open source code in a public git repo, of course "name" is out there for anyone to read.

It might be more accurate to say "Publicly publishing code with your name in it on the internet exposes your name" than "github copilot exposes your name".
Kind of, mark `main` `@safe`. The transitivity of safety will ensure that you can only call safe functions, else you will get a compile error.

That seems like the primary feature at this point.
I tried learning PureScript once but I made the mistake of going down the math rabbit hole. I never got to use it to create frontend apps.
You need a Meta account. Not a Facebook (social network) account.

Meta accounts only require an email address. There is no real name requirement, which they explicitly state in their help page[1] so this isn't a violation of the TOS.

I'm probably an outlier, but I just... haven't? I grew up extraordinarily poor and spent the first few years of my adult life working low-paying jobs while teaching myself to code until I've gotten to where I am now. I feel incredibly and unbelievably blessed to have "made it" relative to where I, my family, and any of my peers would have ever previously thought possible. This, I think, has also changed how I view potential economic hardship.

If the recession does get bad, so what? I don't have a family to support. I don't have many financial obligations aside from rent and my car payment. I could survive on a retail or fast-food job if I had to.

I feel as if we've been warned of a looming recession for years now. It'll come in full force eventually, no doubt. But I don't plan on living my life in a perpetual state of fear because of it. I have enough anxiety as is. When it comes, it comes. I'll survive. I'll retain my current skill set. I'll make it out the other end. Not much else matters to me.
I think a lot of this sentiment comes from the fact that people buy into and hype up an ecosystem that is very up-front about how much responsibility lies with the individual (all of it!) and those same people get upset when they get taken for a ride and lose their shirts.

Play with fire, get burned. If you don’t want these things to happen, stay in the regulated financial system where guard rails exist against market manipulation.

Personally, I’ve done my due diligence and decided that the crypto community is a raging dumpster fire that is speedrunning the last 200 years of centralized financial fraud and somehow failing to learn any of the lessons along the way. For that reason (and because I lack the time to exhaustively vet every project that looks interesting,) I’m staying out of it.
yep, if you can think of it; a) the simpsons did it and b) there's already an app for that.
You don't have to dig very deep for the soil on top to be decent insulation.
>"If you're dealing with concurrency and distributed systems at medium to high scale you really want your senior people to be familiar with the language."

I've written my first application level thread/concurrency library for DOS in the 80s. So you can count me as experienced. In my opinion as long as one is senior developer and knows the subject language does not mean fuck all as long as it adequate and language / libraries support needed primitives. I've written distributed middleware with multithreading / concurrency in many languages including ones I did not know before starting the project.
I’m on mobile but there’s a preference to set the animation delay for the macOS virtual desktop switching to zero and it’ll basically run as fast or at least look as fast as Linux switching.

At least, according to the NBER.
Sorry, I was referring to the parent comment's notion that the headsets would be as "easy as wearing glasses" and have high quality (especially color fidelity), not that you can't have high quality VR overall.
Eh car less so. The trendy thing for Zoomers is to be anti car/stroad/SUV. Using a car shows that you hate the environment.

Four Journaling Snippets for a Way Better Day
The meat and meatspace “replacements” are bridge technologies that reduce the suffering of animals and people respectively. Sometimes a vegan just wants a burger. Sometimes an exec just needs a little help to let go.

Sure these bridges have plenty of problems today, and maybe they’ll go to nowhere. But maybe in the far future they’ll lead us to cruelty free, healthy designer tissues that taste better than anything an animal makes, and Bret Victor’s dynamic medium.
If Apple won't implement RCS, can Google implement iMessage?
I met with the founders sometime in the second half of 2017, I think before they had launched. I was looking for an eng leadership job and the just wanted / needed ICs. So it didn’t go anywhere.

But I came away with a strong sense that they would be quite successful. They just had this confidence and clarity of vision, that also didn’t seem like bullshit. And past experience building a company in the financial services space.

One funny thing I remember was Pedro (I think) saying their tech stack was Elixer, “maybe that’s crazy”. And interesting to see they have since started moving away from it. Seems they had some doubts about it from the start.
Yeah, tell the government of Japan that they shouldn't have been worried about young people dating for the last three decades.
I'm not sure if this has much specific relation to the Mango hack, but you raise an interesting point mentioning the possibility of a developer hacking his own network (who would be more qualified to do so?) - my broader point is this: there is a lot of incentive to get these platforms up and running, and not always a lot to build them safely and even less to truly audit them.

Often the developers make their money up front - in a way that's all that has to be said for the diligence developers of these protocols might have across longer time scales.

People are so concerned with making a quick buck they forget about subtleties like developer token lock up, third party audits, patience in general. But that's how markets go - fast money is more valuable than slow money and the price you pay is risk.

What the average Joe need to know is that DeFi, while capable of producing huge gains, also comes with a lot of risk both market-wise and protocol safety-wise.
First, anonymized resumes would not create increased in hiring rates. It might increase the candidate pool through the screen, but behold, racial discrimination is a function at every stage of the interview process.

I am not confusing "non-discriminatory" with "equal chances". I have no idea why anyone would. Obviously, a person with 12 years experience coding in a specific language or stack would be preferable to hire, depending on budget, to someone with none.

That is not the issue any of these measures address, or even should address. No one is arguing we should be hiring people with a GED as physicians because they're "diverse".

You're arguing at a straw man.

2 of like 100 missiles that might have just as well been shot down by the AA system (which, surprise, also shoot missiles, that might hit the target, or...).

Yes, it seems to me you need at least some expertise or at least have some understanding of basic logic, or maybe at least a vague familiarity with the matter conservation law to ask yourself:

Where do missiles shot down by an AA system go?

Where do AA missiles, that didn't hit the target go?
> Nothing above looks illegal. In regulated markets, if something went from $0.03 to $0.91 in a short space of time, trading would be shut down.

Because the attacker owns both wallets, this is called a wash trade, which is something that has been illegal for over 80 years.
I started to farm on a little piece of land next to my house. I really like the outcome, because I have spare food I like and some valuable skill if human economy starts going south, because spying on users which I am doing on my work is not a valuable skill.

VR has been “5 years away” for decades. They even made kids shows about it in the 90s, and there was the Virtual Boy console from Nintendo.

And here we are, 25 years later, and it’s still just a gimmick looking for a use case.

==Essentially the people that cry racism the most are generally the racists feeling like they have to white knight for the poor oppressed minorities. The worst part is that they just cant see it, most openly racist people can at least acknowledge it. Black people can do just fine on their own they are not helpless children looking for a hero.==

You are the only one who has made a claim about anyone being "helpless", but it's good to know that is immediately where your mind went. For someone who totally isn't racist, you seem to know exactly how racist people think.
That's unfortunate, if no less confusing. Any chance this happened before https://techweez.com/2020/03/11/mozilla-will-support-kaios-i... ? I'm just trying to square the statement that it has a fundamentally broken browser engine with the claim that it's still being supported directly by Mozilla. (Not, to be clear, that I doubt you for a moment.) I wonder if they did something like intentionally disabling features (say, JS) in order to make it fit on the hardware. I mean, ultimately kind of whatever, because I'm hardly going to use a proprietary stack like that anyways, but it's puzzling that browsing is the weak point on a Firefox OS fork.
The problem is that you can't predict ahead of time every use case.

That's why today's financial system has the ability to manually revert back to a previous state if something gets wrong e.g. undo transactions, government bailouts etc.
