Chiming in as a Quest 2 user, and one who uses Immersed for work a couple hours per day, I can't imagine spending $1,500 for a VR headset. If work provided I'd happily use it, and it might increase the amount of time I'd spend in VR.
Match lets third parties access the extremely personal/private matching question answers from OKCupid.

Presumably this means advertisers.

I used OKC for years until the founders sold it (and my private data) to this shady company, then I was forced to delete.

Acquisitions are worse than breaches for end user privacy. GitHub sold your whole travel history (via client IP geolocation) to Microsoft.
Thanks to FB you can buy $400 "Meta Quest 2" and experience like 95% of good VR content. Yeah it somewhat worse than Valve Index for VR enthusiasts, but it also much cheaper.
That's quite nice. But wasn't that the point with Atom.io, too? But there was GitHub behind them. I will try lite-xl and I wish them the very best :)
It's not just the Rust community. I don't especially like Rust, but I fully buy into the argument that code written in memory-unsafe languages is materially less safe than code that is. There are plenty of memory-safe options, and rewriting software to be memory safe --- especially when there's a clear, simple common case to seize on --- is a positive step for Internet safety.
Since you've left the timeline ambiguous, and didn't say if you'd enabled the 120hz mode or even been on a late-enough update to the system software to use it, your comment isn't that useful.
I can't even see how long the video in my firefox, and no jumping around. I would personally fire the people responsible for this right now, bad idea and bad implementation. But seems Zuckerberg is obsessed over this failure...
Every single comment in this thread is a deflection. "It's the recruiters", "the manager sucks", "subconscious bias", "the position is too specialized", etc. Why is that?
The premise of the experiment is that the only clue interviewers have about gender in an interview is voice. You'd need to establish that fact in a prior experiment. Far too many assumptions and guessing for me to take anything useful away from this article.
Pretty nice. In Ukraine right now a 500 cl of a relatively okay beer in a bar goes north of 2.5€ alone, and sandwiches start at about 3€. Damn
Note that Red Hat's business model is charging money to be Linux experts. It's against their interests for non-Red-Hat Linux to be viable, or for Red Hat to be comprehensible without their services.
That's not an exception, that's an entirely different use for a raised tank. And not a very big one either.
Yeah, makes sense that it's popular. I just thought you were making a joke by creating a similar looking issue with a different underlying reason.

In Go example the issue happens because item variable is per-loop, in your python example the issue is not related to loops at all, it's just because functions capture the value of global variables at execution time.

And the cherry on top is that the solution is also similar looking(i=i), but working with a different mechanic underneath(default argument assignment).

Anyway, this was my perspective that led me to interpret this as satire. A bit disappointed haha
Carmack never stops talking for even a moment. Never repeats himself and clearly expresses his thoughts in real time. It's some sort of autism I presume.
unfortunately Tinder has become a lot less useful, and a rising number of OnlyFans creators are using it as a vehicle for advertising. They'll match with a guy, chat like normal, and then start dropping hints about their "spicy site."

it's really kind of depressing, honestly. Guys on dating sites are viewed as transactions. Tinder isn't alone with this - they're on multiple sites doing the same thing.
Google Voice is US & Canada only, I believe.
I know what you're saying, and I'm often inclined to do that, but in the case of S3 it's a heck of a lot of work/time. Have rolled my own for smaller APIs though.
Apart from the social security number being sensitive data mostly in the US, how is the OP's question privacy relevant?

He probably simply would like to be able to compare salaries.
The immediate comparison I think of is VRChat, which does literally everything on that list better and has by comparison a shoestring budget.
And a payment card (which you can’t get without strong identity in the USA)?

What about phone number and IP?

Your friends list also probably uniquely links the account to your shadow profile which has your real name and address bought from data brokers.

Don’t forget that Facebook has your name/phone number from all of your friends’ phones who gave FB/WhatsApp contacts permission. Friend enough of them and they’ll know it’s you.

Also, they have the plaintext of all of your chats with your friends, including that initial “hey it’s me bob” intro message.
I remember swearing up and down that I didn't need a phone I could carry everywhere with me. This was in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

What communication was so important that it couldn't wait until I was home, next to my land line and answering machine?
Cool! I might have to give it a try.
I don't know, reducing Trans-Atlantic network latency and bringing high speed internet to millions in currently un-served areas around the world while at the same time giving me an alternative to Cox seems worth while. Oh and being able to tweet that I think the benefit/cost ratio of mRNA vaccines is less than one for most people will be kind of cool as well.
Joe Rogan is the best interviewer of our time.
Plus they're probably doing it out of necessity rather than a commitment, Macron's governments have been rather eager to hand out customers to Total by negotiating rebates with the company, a major oil producer at the detriment of other producers rather as creating a tax of giga profits (profits that are purely out of market fluctuations) as has been done in other countries. They've chosen not to come back on closing some nuclear plants while putting a smoke screen about small scale reactors. Nuclear industry needs stability to develop, those are big long term investments. The last French governments have not provided that stability at all, it's a real shame.
I'll happily spend an evening watching vrchat shenanigans or 2.5D vtubers but this thing just goes so far beyond 'corporate inoffensiveness squeezed the soul out of it'. It's like the developers actively disdain their own work.
It's been fine for me and available on every device I've seen the last 3 years, and sometimes wonder what the actual tangible difference to a user is between it and OS X's Unix underpinnings, other than OS X needing a incessant parade of permission dialogs due to it.

It is exactly that. They use data your put on Facebook to make allow audience targeting down to even an individual level.
My conspiracy theory is that Elon has secured some oligarch money to fund the twitter purchase in exchange for peddling pro appeasement propaganda. I don’t think he was always like this but I think it happened somewhat recently
The book is fundamentally nostalgic. There’s very little depth or “future” in it (which is not a slight; I don’t think Cline was going for anything different).
It's because of design efficiency. The most distilled and finest design utilizes each part for many things. Like a unibody car, or a fuel tank in the wing in an aircraft.

In this case the material doing the thermal storage is also part of the building. It's not like there is a building and a separate 100 tons of thermal storage stuff, just make the house and foundation out of that 100 tons of stuff and then you only have to buy 100 tons of stuff, not 200. It's the same economy of scale with the labor and digging. You can dig 1 hole and put all this geothermal stuff in it along with the foundation, or you can dig 2 holes and have twice the everything. If you just combine all the items into one big effort, look for design efficiencies where you can combine parts and systems, and these systems/buildings can basically run themselves with just what is provided by the environment. They don't change the environment inside the building, they just regulate it between the 2 extremes, taking the edge off the high and lows.
The bit about the logs was funny. I have noticed my oculus 2 be pretty responsive and zippy to now being frustrating to the point I put it down. I would guess its getting bloated.
Every single one of my childhood heroes has committed suicide before my eyes by doing stuff like this. I always considered them having some solid morals and being wealthy enough would make this improbable but boy I was wrong. Oh well, they can't kill the old memories, yet.

Still too bulky and ugly!
> The worst part is that if you try and fight through the sickness, you'll actually condition yourself to get sicker.

Yes. This is absolutely true. Whatever you do: DON'T try to 'fight through it'. As soon as you don't feel well, STOP. Then pick it up later. Soon you will be able to go for a longer time and it'll disappear completely. Make sure your IDP is set correctly. Get an optometrist to check it for you to make sure. Looking crosseyed (unknowingly) really does not help things.

If you tried doing it that way you were really doing it wrong. You could indeed develop a negative association to the headset. I had this with the DK1 (Development Kit 1) of the Rift, but this was because it simply had horribly inaccurate 3DOF tracking (not 6DOF as required in the real world), and also a high persistance display.

> I think it's become a major problem in the VR game market. Everyone except the super hard core has been burned away by sim sickness, so now all the remaining fans demand intense but nausea-inducing experiences with no comfort options (or too-easily disabled comfort options)

It's not. First of all, you have to take it easy like I described. You will accomodate to it much better. Yes some people will never manage it but it's a really small percentage. If you can ride in the back of a car without getting sick, you can do this as long as you take it easy.

Also, the experiences Meta is aiming for here don't involve rollercoasters and the like. VR is totally fine if you're moving normally within your free tracked space. The problem starts happening when you move with the stick without actually moving, because the disassociation between the visual and inertial senses. The teleportation option helps a lot.

But in a business meeting really you don't have to move around a lot. As long as your motions within that small space are tracked accurately, there will be no motion sickness.
I'd say it depends where you work and if your company fosters failure and growth.

Where I work I get a formally recorded performance assessment following each piece of work I deliver, which is usually in the range of 6-10 projects a year. Each of these projects is rated with strengths and weaknesses and if I was performing at the level required. This is then rolled up into my annual performance review, which is a review of the aggregate result of those, plus any other non-project related outcomes.
Curious how you feel about donut holes.
"managers need justification for their recommendations, both positive and negative."

But it can be kind of like with the law - if they want to get you, they will find something. The job descriptions are so high-level and aspirational they can find something wrong with anyone. The only real question is what cane to their attention, and if they'll ignore it or use it.
That's a complete non sequitur. They mishandled A so necessarily they must have mishandled B as well. What kinda argument is that?

And systemd is controversial in that a vocal minority says it was a disaster. I don't think it is, definitely not compared to Wayland.

Yeah sorry I tried to anticipate and cover this response briefly by pointing out that the population of the world simply is not going to stop eating animal protein because you told them you find it unethical. Their beliefs are not morally dissonant because they do not share your view that killing a sentient being for food is wrong. This thread is about fisheries and my argument is in support of using both wild and farmed fish as a much better alternative for protein production than land-based agriculture, whether that be in support of livestock or soy milk. Your response is "everyone should eat plants exclusively because that works for me with minimal negative unintended consequences."

I also tried to point out the inherit issue with the comparison of "killing 100 billion animals each year" with "growing and eating plants" as though the latter avoids all 100 billion animal deaths. It doesn't. It might move those deaths to other species that you care less about or to a different time or make them lives that never existed rather than lives taken, but it still comes at a cost. So your premise is just incomplete and focuses entirely on the issue that seems to be most important to you personally.

If "you" want to minimize your impact, stop eating animals is an argument that only works for a subset of the human population and is only an accessible solution to a fraction of that. Putting aside the gross ethnocenctricity, it simply is not going to work as a solution. The converse is that "some land is not suitable for crop agriculture but is usable for grazing" and I also routinely see that argument abused even though it is true. Some livestock are raised totally sustainably and even provide ecosystem services (trampling is good for some systems and cattle do it in lieu of the native grazers that are now gone). But that doesn't mean that all cattle can be raised at no cost. You're making that argument, just about row crops, I guess.

FWIW, soy production in Brazil in the service of foreign markets is... not very sustainable even if it's not for feed [1].

I remember when I was younger and I was like, "I survive fine on <2 gallons of fresh water a day... how can there possibly be a water supply issue anywhere?" Or, more generally, "I can modify my behavior with few personal consequences to fit into a sustainable model." So that is great. Do it. But I would argue you are avoiding grappling with the full impacts of your own choices and, even if they'd be better alternatives anyway, you're failing to recognize that your choices are not available to everyone.

Yes, but I'd expect it's much lesser amounts. 80 gallons is a decent sized water heater.

>have they solved the motion sickness that came w/ the earlier headsets

I've been using VR since DK1 and I've basically never gotten motion sickness. As long as you are "in control" of your movements then it shouldn't happen (sure for a small minority of people it can, but that is no where near the norm).

The only time I've felt weird is something like a roller coaster experience where I'm stationary but everything is moving around me at a fast pace. But basically nothing is like that excpet for a few random gimmicks.

>but it's not in my character to spend that much time with a VR headset

Not really sure what that even means..
> The insistence that any inequality of outcome is caused by unjust oppression, and not anything else.

Wholly untrue. Inequality happens for a whole mess of reasons, including individual ability and interest, it's just not exclusive to that either.

> The belief that the fix for that perceived oppression is itself oppression, but the other way around.

We're probably going to disagree on the definition of oppression, but no, there should is no need for "reverse oppression", unfortunately, I can't control how people feel about aid fixes, but I think everyone should be able to pursue opportunity equally.

> The origin in the academic/(pseudo-)intellectual sphere. Communist revolutionaries claimed to speak for the working classes but didn't come from the working classes. Instead they were men of words, with their primary output being books, pamphlets and violence. Thus opposition to communism was sometimes identified as "anti-intellectual", because the arguments for communism sounded clever, whereas the complaints against it didn't.

This is taken too far in the other direction where I have to accept every single "DE&I Bad" Argument so as not to seem elitist. This is a complex issue and there are plenty of good arguments on both sides, the original article just didn't attempt to make them.

4. The use of the term "reactionary" to describe its enemies

"In Marxist terminology, reactionary is a pejorative adjective denoting people whose ideas might appear to be socialist, but, in their opinion, contain elements of feudalism, capitalism, nationalism, fascism or other characteristics of the ruling class, including usage between conflicting factions of Marxist movements."

Wow, that is way more involved than I meant it to be. If forgot reactionary was a loaded term, I just meant it to mean that his argument was in reaction to "wokeism" and wasn't independent of that. See item 3.
As a user and (rarely) contributor to aerc from pre and post transfer, I'm very curious to see what you'd build now having learned from aerc (and, perhaps, alps on the web site?).
That’s just insane market capture and they’re probably locked in for life.
> Because you wind up with a better, more productive company when you put forth the considerable effort necessary to increase diversity. It’s winning in the marketplace because it’s better.

What evidence do you have to support the claim that DIE-focused companies outcompete merit-focused companies?
Are the other managers actually reviewing what we wrote? I'd be surprised. It's my experience that it doesn't matter what I write.
I’m amazed at the level of distrust and fud from meta when the other side of the coin, google, is much more invasive and people generally enjoy opting into the google ecosystem.

Gmail is reading all of your emails, google maps knows everywhere you’ve been and are probably going to go to, etc
> white nationalist groups are growing in numbers

I don't know if it's valid, but let's assume it is. Have you considered that some of this growth can be attributed to DEI and the rest of far-left policies?

If you're openly being racist towards certain groups, they can also become racist. When a poor white male gets rejected/fired/demoted because company needed a diversity hire, it's not going to make him more tolerant.
“I am so proud and honored and humbled to announce that my avatar now has three glowing rings over its head!”

Oh sweet lord this will be horrific.
I'm puzzled by this announcement. The device seems fantastic, but the app lineup on the site is incredibly lame. Adobe Acrobat? Dropbox? Smartsheet?

I get it, they're focusing on corporate / professional users, but gosh, I'm not spending $1,650 bucks on such an innovative device to run Adobe Acrobat and freaking spreadsheet-based project management tool!

Where's the "wow" first-party apps for the Pro? Where's the new version of Supernatural? Beat Saber? Minecraft in AR/VR? Or whatever fancy B2B apps they spent this last year working on (they do exist, right? Right?). In my mind you need to appeal to both end users and the professional audience at the same time, in order to move the industry forward. Otherwise you'll end up with a HoloLens-like marketshare.

I'm saying this as an early adopter since Oculus Kickstarter days, and really want to see the whole vr/ar/metaverse succeed. But Meta could take a page from Apple playbook on how to put together keynotes and product launches.

ps: on the positive side, the Carmack Unscripted livestream was great. John continues to be in his best shape, and too bad the conversation was 'cut short' (by his standards).

>52% of teens cite Amazon as their No. 1 favorite e-comm site; SHEIN, Nike, Lululemon, and Pacsun took spots No. 2-5

I've only ever heard of two on this list. Interesting.

Also to note there's shockingly low diversity in footwear and phone choices. Why is the teen market such a winner take all environment?
I guess dating for me always just was an activity without expectation. Or perhaps better said, without surprise. Meaning anything could happen. I might have fallen in love with someone on the night we met, the universe seemed aligned, we already got in some small talk face to face, maybe even got physical then - only to find out the next day they gave me the phone number for Pizza Hut and I’d never see or hear from them again. I couldn’t even Google them or DM them, it didn’t exist. Everyone was a ghost by default.

The apps to me seem exactly like what you all are saying. If I were young I'd probably turn to the same tactics I employed before the apps; meeting people in the real world. Probably easier said than done, but that's always been true.
What I want:

1. GP quote: "Domain names shouldn't be any more difficult to buy or use than phone numbers."

2. Your quote: "federated social network of some sort on old android hardware."

The only reason Facebook exists is as a middleman between people trying to pass messages to each other.

If people could easily find each other and run trusted non-proprietary software:
A. there'd be no ads
B. all comms are direct so government agencies couldn't simply compel access from a single source

I'm in Spain so this kinda rules out using it in summer for long. But most of the year it's fine.

I have to say the new silicone 'skin' they provided to Quest 2 owners makes the sweatiness a bit worse, but it is easier to clean. And the original Quest 2 material was prone to causing skin irritation so I didn't want to risk it for too long.
My car is also push start and I have to hold the fob in front of the start button for a short while before turning on the car if the fob battery is out.
I've been reluctant to try getting my coworkers into VR because they'd probably just laugh at me, but a couple of friends and I met up in VR (we're all fully-grown professionals) and it was great. Meetings in VR would be a lot more productive, IMO.
The experience with the PopOS related pop shell is an honourable mention here with reasonable key defaults. You should try it if you haven't already, it's quite good.
