I wonder if there's a name for this phenomenon. Eggcorns aren't quite right, as they're more about mishearing a word or phrase in a way that still makes sense in context (e.g. Alzheimer's disease -> old-timers' disease). Mondegreens are about mishearing a word or phrase and substituting them for something different. Those are errors in interpreting phonic elements, but there's no misinterpretation of the words for these phrases/idioms; it's just disregarding the meaning entirely and substituting a new meaning.
The term itself is not sarcastic but the concept acknowledges the inherent sarcasm of it, since the chain of programs must have an initial mover

Obviously Simula wants to sell themselves and downplay meta for sales purposes, but a lot of their arguments in “ Philosophical Differences” section seemed to just miss the mark. Like, I think they have the wrong philosophy.

For example, simula critiqued the Quest Pro for relying on good wifi, noting you can’t use it at coffee shops. That’s a bad use case. They released a video of someone using simula at a coffee shop and everyone thought it was a joke. Productivity VR isn’t a laptop, it’s a better external monitor. You don’t take a monitor to a coffee shop (or other similar establishments). Maybe, maybe a plane is a good place. Probably hotel rooms, certainly offices and homes. Offices and homes can/will have good wifi.

They also mention window management and the (lack of) it on the Quest. Except no one (outside techies) knows what a windows manager is or has custom workflows. Instead, quest has screen management so you can have a virtual screen, and manager your own windows. I’m no Nostradamus but I doubt the future of technology rests in heavily customized window managers.

Simula also has a few points that are just wrong about the quest, such as the need for a laptop. A laptop helps, but it does have a native browser and Bluetooth keyboard support so you can totally spend your day in Gmail and Google docs and all that browser jazz without a second computer.

I do think an “untethered” future for VR is real though, like simula thinks. Quest is just also positioned to handle it through the real future apps platform (browsers) not a techie dream (Linux desktop).

For what it’s worth I think the real winner of VR productivity in the short term will end up looking a lot closer to NReal instead of either of these two. It’s cheap and comfortable, so it’s a lot easier to start using. It also entirely relies on your host computer so no one has to set up a new computer, IT doesn’t have to extend support of systems (ActiveDirectory etc) to new platforms, etc.

I've been checked-out of the SSG world for a couple years and am now evaluating different tools and frameworks for a project at work.

I'm intrigued by the direction being taken by Remix, which posits that today's backend options are so improved compared to those of the recent past that they (arguably) have eroded the utility of a static site, period.

https://remix.run/blog/remix-vs-next

When it's not crazy difficult or expensive to have a very fast app _and_ database close to your users, you don't have to architect around that deficiency, which is what SSGs are designed to do.
The funny thing about conspiracy theories is that they can be mutually exclusive, almost entirely wrong, and still be approximately right.

Maybe it’s the seed oils, maybe it’s the sugar, or the processed carbs, or the fluoride. Maybe it’s the vaccines, or the air pollution, or the water pollution. Maybe the lack of nutrients in our food or the endocrine disrupting chemicals in our plastics.

Regardless, we’ve made tremendous unintentional changes to the chemical environment that we inhabit and the fact is that we lack the measurement precision to tease out the effects from the noise on timescales shorter than a human lifetime.

Perhaps the real conspiracy theory is not that we’re being poisoned by something in particular but rather that we’re being poisoned and we have no idea by what and maybe won’t know for a hundred years and this is just the cost of industrial society.

> I haven't seen a proper document (as in "documentation") for years.

I am sure that is true for many types of code. But also, for many projects, you can train up a reasonably productive coder in 3-6 months of bootcamping. In those cases, you probably don't need much more than auto-generated documentation. But also, in those cases, I'm not sure what a GPT-like model is doing other than creating the facade of written documentation around a product and process that doesn't really need anything other than the most superficial of manually written documentation.

On the other hand, there are many cases where actual written documentation is quite necessary.

I used to work on extremely high-trust code bases, and now I mostly work on mid and late stage large "Big R, Big D" projects.

In both cases, written documentation is extremely important for communicating the whats and whys of implemented code. Auto-generating API documentation would be pretty useless without a very literal programming style of development (think tens or hundreds of pages of math-heavy documentation for every KLoC or so, and in rare cases an order of magnitude more.) And even then would be awkward in many cases; eg, in cases where there's close interfaces between the software and product-specific custom hardware (either chips or sensors or actuated mechanical components). Or especially mathematics-heavy portions of programs where you really need to read a couple dissertations before you can start reasoning about the implementation details of the methods.

Additionally, we do/did a lot of writing for non-technical/differently-technical audiences. E.g., patent attorneys (who need thorough descriptions for translation into effective patentese), colleagues who interfaced directly with safety regulators, colleagues who interfaced with lawmakers, internal documents that might one day be seen by lawmakers or counsel, communication with external technical stakeholders when working on either greenfield or evolving standards, etc.

A strong foundation in basic writing skills is very important when you need to communicate the same basic facts to a variety of technical audiences who all have different concerns, incentive structures, and backgrounds.

I'm not fucking interested in "tinkering" with nginx/apache to host my own software, I'm interested in herding dozens of open source applications that replace paid/shitty ad driven SaaS companies.

The contract with docker is incredibly simple - you give me the path you're saving data to, a couple of ports to point at, and some ENV vars to provide config - I do the rest.

Boom - suddenly I can easily host literally hundreds of dollars per month worth of recurring subscription SaaS products using my own hardware and networks. All without having to see ads, or risk external data breaches, or deal with user tracking.

My paper bags get reused primarily as a place to keep my cans and bottles (we have a refundable deposit where I live) until I have time to take them to the redemption center or give them to one of the local non-profits that collects them. I've found the paper bags allow any residue to evaporate rather than leaving the cans a sticky and, eventually, moldy mess like plastic bags do.
Without an airtight seal you get increased spoilage. Something like 3% increased food spoilage might not sound like much but it’s equivalent to increasing the total environmental impact of farming, fishing, and food packaging industries by over 3%, which is massive.
I use Ubuntu because it is relatively current at release, has a very regular schedule, and my preferred LTS releases have 5 years of updates.

I occasionally talk to a Debian user. Ask how they handle their long term Debian use. Which usually takes them several minutes to describe. XYZ from stable, ABC from unstable, track the latest with foo from testing, and bar from backports. Basically they end up with a custom setup, unlike any other on the planet, and that hasn't been tested.

LTS on the other hand does get testing, generally I just apt install the packages I need, and then do-release upgrade every 2 years. LTS is popular enough that generally if I google the problem there's a quick fix, and a large fraction of LTS users don't seem to customize their repos to the degree that seems common on Debian.

> if I sold it today

Always interesting to see this thrown out in discussions about house prices, given that homes are not an easily-traded asset. You selling today indicates that you got the ball rolling at least several weeks ago and have already secured your next home. Lots of costs to be assumed there. So this hypothetical will almost never bear any relevance. These aren't stocks.
When Apple released its $500 ARM dev kit ahead of the M1, they offered a $200 credit in exchange for return. Something equivalent seems appropriate here. This isn’t meant to be a computer for mass consumption so shouldn’t be compared to the M1 Mini.
> When talking about numbers you need a way to write down a specific number (Needs a finite representation)

There are plenty of rational numbers that cannot be written down. Indeed, an infinite number of them. All the numbers larger than say... a googleplex, or the numbers approaching Grahams' number (or larger than that number) are unwritable.

We don't even need to stray from the integer numbers if we want to get to unwritable numbers. Plenty of numbers too large to be ever written down even if we use every single atom in our universe (or any such combination of atomic-states with all the atoms in our universe).

"X cannot be written" seems to be a rather arbitrary limit.

It’s not just about the cost at the supply chain. If hypothetically 3% more food spoils, that’s roughly equivalent to 3% of all environmental impact of all farming and fishing. All the pesticides, land use, runoff fertilizer, fuel, methane production etc adds up to vastly more than the costs from plastics.

We think of costs in terms of money but shipping more crap means more fuel and thus more global warming etc.

As someone who writes electronic music and is pretty familiar with synths, effects and DSP in general, I call bullshit on the title of the article. It should read:

This is not even remotely the sound of Earth's magnetic field.

I've had the exact same experience. Bought a cheap ultrabook (whatever was within my wherewithal back then) and wiped everything. Put Linux mint on it and gave it to my mom. After years of struggling with Windows she got a user interface where she was comfortable in for around 2 years.

My brother bought her a "better" laptop with standard issue Windows bloatware. She hated it and kept asking for Linux Mint. She said that the Windows UI was too confusing.
That is a fun article, but they left out my favorite: the dial tone when someone hangs up.

Speaking of phones, it's interesting to see movies' choices about the UI on mobile phones. Do they try to show something like a real phone, or do they give a simplified UI that the audience can read at a glance?

I remember seeing the Net as a teen, and in the climactic scene when the bad guys were trying to break into the room, and Sandra Bullock was hacking their computer and waiting tensely for a progress bar to finish, while it slowly crept towards completion and the bangs on the door got louder, the audience could see it and read . . . "resolving IP address."

The gen2 was scoring only half an M1 in performance. With the bloat of windows on top this is going to be horrible.
I’ve developed on WoA plenty and it’s my primary Windows dev platform, but targeting it? Lol. I spin up an Azure VM for testing.

Any business which might have made use of this to take advantage of things like ARM devices being cheaper/more available than x86 devices (you literally can’t find an x86 tablet worth using for less than $400) long since ported to Android. Microsoft sort of missed the boat with ARM. Every time I see those little android based terminals littered around small businesses I think “man this sure is a business Microsoft lost for no real reason”

I wish Microsoft would support the WoA use case people could actually take advantage of. Using windows in a Mac VM. That would be by far the most effective way to get people to develop for the platform, not this product.

More choices and competition, please.

The process of writing scientific papers is mostly the same no matter the subject. The biggest flag was probably that he stated that he is 99,9% sure in interviews but the number never shows in the paper and in the conclusion part he just states "more likely". You don't need a bioengineering degree that something like that throws a red flag.
We don't have enough studies or evidence, but we do have our subjective physical experience. And that pretty much tells us what is healthy or not for the most part. Our back aches when we sit for too long. We feel depressed when we doomscroll and sit inside. We feel like shit after eating processed food. We can sense that plastic isn't great. We know noise over long periods of time drives people crazy. We feel the rush and crash of our glycemic index.

It's like when we pretend that our ancestors had no idea smoking was bad. They weren't stupid and could instantly deduce that inhaling smoke was not great for you. Later on, we got a more precise idea and probably the same will happen with our current problems. In the intervening time, however, we can pretty much deduce what is wrong other than the more diffuse threats such as lead or radon.

There's a parallel with grains: staples like rice and wheat are more legible to states than other alternatives like legumes, tubers, and starch plants, even though the latter were comparable in terms of calories generated by unit labor. E.g. many roots are buried and hidden from tax collectors. States which enforced cultivation of the legible grains had a greater tax base and outcompeted those that didn't.
