(I'm trying a pair out. They are on Amazon for $379 and extended returns during Christmas...)

It feels like a wall height screen about 8-10 feet in front of you. Perhaps a little bigger would be good, but it isn't that too small.

The resolution of 1920x1080 is ok. I wish it was higher. And it doesn't support AR monitors (the 1920x1080 in the glasses a mirror of the iPad - except for blink .. - the demos for android are much nicer with AR windows places in physical space)

The setup I'm testing:

- nreal 1920x1080 nreal air
- usb-c plugged into an ipad mini + cellular
- tailscale allows me to remote into my desktop computer
- with bluetooth keyboard and mouse
- and then blink app to tmux (or perhaps vscode - I haven't tried it yet)

I've only been testing a couple days.

It feels much better than my experiments with Quest2 VR desktop. And when I am able to just work within a single app (blink, safari, ...) it is a good experience. My biggest struggle is iPad os - inconsistent keyboard shortcuts even in apple applications.

I'd like to try a tiny raspberry pi like device that allows remote-ssh vscode + remote tmux + streaming chrome (vnc or perhaps https://www.mightyapp.com) - but the hardware needs to support USB-C Display Port.

Perhaps a DIY powered by Framework mainboard...

Overall, it is still promising and I'm going to keep trying until end of January - to see if this is a good to take anywhere to code/dev/mosh. For a V1 of this experience it exceeds expectations (and is much better than quest2 for me)
Programming is the reification of decision making processes.

Therefore, a language that allows a programmer to turn thoughts into correct code faster is a win.

The size of the code as writter is only slightly interesting: almost everyone can type faster than they can think clearly. A more compact notation is preferred for reducing the delay between typing and testing, but not to the point of impairing readability.
Did you read the link?

Just add a PowerShell script at install time to exempt the virtual network interfaces from Windows Firewall if WSL is detected and the user agrees! It's super simple and easy.

Vite for Remix
Hey all.

Just started a Vite dev-server library to run Remix projects locally.

It's in the very beginning. But I'm confident it'll soon support almost any Remix project.

Give it a try by running npx remix-vite in your project's directory.
What I find weird about these conversations is that it never discusses what the higher ups and the companies are making. If CEOs were taking cuts and big corps were losing money, then yes, this conversation about paying employees less makes sense. But when the CEOs are still making record incomes (at least according to Forbes) and companies are increasing (or holding constant) evaluations (baring some noise), this doesn't make sense. It just comes off as "We're going to take a bigger part of the cake now and you're going to like it." But for some reason the conversation is about who deserves more of a shrinking slice of a cake that's growing. Somethings not right here.

Show HN: Summarize social media sports data with neuspo
The fact that Twitter just raptured away 50%+ of their workforce and things are still running mostly the way they did before indicates, to me at least, that Twitter must have been one of the better-run engineering orgs on the planet.
The article claims not:

> We show that a class of subluminal, spherically symmetric warp drive spacetimes, at least in principle, can be constructed based on the physical principles known to humanity today.

I'm no physicist to be able to evaluate the claim more deeply, but it is a published peer-reviewed article.

The more famous Alcubierre drive, the one that can go faster than light, does require negative energy density.

I’ve used Apple Mail on iOS and Mac exclusively for about 5-6 years. Maybe my workflow is just adapted but the only issues I’ve had were the macOS version occasionally locking up or giving inconsistent search results usually solved by restarting the app.
That was almost a bragging point for quite a while. It was definitely not hip to work on ads or even search.
I hope this doesn't become the norm of employment agreement.

I don't want to return money when I fail at my job. It could easily bankrupt me.

Imagine if you are fired and have to return all the salaries and stock you've ever earned.
It clarifies that advertisers aren't being persuaded by crazy activists like Elon is claiming..
Twitter was not in a financial nosedive until Elon saddled the company with $13B in loans (used to acquire the company) while also tanking revenues by scaring off all the big advertisers who think the platform won't be brand safe in the free speech future. He did that himself. He also gutted engineering teams at Twitter, so their ability to execute quickly on whatever his new vision is seems in jeopardy. I predict Twitter is going to $0 and probably a lot sooner than you might expect.
If you could integrate relevant features of Google Docs into, say, Twitter Ad Manager, enabling an ad agency and the CMO of the corporate advertiser to collaborate (multiplayer edit, comments, real-time in-app chat, sharing links, version control) on a Twitter ad, it would drive more revenue for Twitter. As the cost in developer time of building those Google Docs goes down, building such a feature would be beneficial to Twitter.

The same applies to many other domains.

Naturally, as a programmer with increased capabilities, your value will go up.

Carbon in, carbon out. In order for plants to balance that equation they have to grow about a pound of dry mass per day. There’s a reason the space station doesn’t just have a few plants up there instead of an advanced system to scrub and recycle air.

No software drivers needed either.
Yes, on Twitter, the fediverse ("Mastodon"), and other social networking services, it's typically quite trivial to build an echo chamber such that you rarely see opinions you don't want to see.

"But nazis exist on the fediverse!" Yes, they do, just as they do in real life. But if you don't intentionally attend their rallies or whatever it is nazis do nowadays and instead stick to whatever non-nazi-aligned places and activities you feel comfortable with, you're probably not going to encounter any of them.
It's because the employment contract specifies it that way.

If the employment contract says "If you fail, you will need to return all of your compensations", then nobody would agree to work for you.

Now they agree to work for you under the assumption that they will not return what they've earned... then we want to reverse that retrospectively. The contract was signed years ago, but well we are going to change it now. Please return every penny we paid you. That's kinda fucked up to be honest.

Thanks. It has been, and continues to be, a lot of fun.

The next big step is moving to Vulkan/Metal.

I'm still developing on a board front, laying the groundwork for a variety of development directions. The latest thing I implemented is interactors, which is a first step to developing game-like functionality.

Really need to make some short videos which explain the architecture and features of the system.

> Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí disliked drawings and prefered to explore some of his designs — such as the unfinished Church of Colònia Güell and the Sagrada Família — using scale models made of chains or weighted strings. It was long known that an optimal arch follows an inverted catenary curve, i.e., an upside-down hanging chain. Gaudí's upside-down physical models took him years to build but gave him more flexibility to explore organic designs, since every adjustment would immediately trigger the "physical recomputation" of optimal arches. He would turn the model upright by the way of a mirror placed underneath or by taking photographs.

GC was one of the most important and relevant features (if not the most important) that allowed Java to penetrate, and eventually dominate the space where C++ used to be relevant in terms of middleware/business type applications. This detail matters a lot in this discussion. Then once that is taken as a given, you can compare different GC enabled languages based on other factors, such as type safety (or lack thereof in the case of python).
My current ML project is funded because the bank regulator said it would have to be done or there would be a big fine.

I do not think that there will be a QC project done on the same basis for 40 years.
The information technology industry is a disruptive force in this economy. The way it has disrupted the global economy has changed over time as newer generations of technological innovations (e.g., software, programming languages and development paradigms) have overtaken older generations of information technology. As a consequence, these changes have demanded new sets of technical skills from programmers. Those who master the skills (and a lot who learn just enough of them) can command premium pay because of the labor scarcity they now find themselves in.

In my own 30+-year career, I've had to continually re-skill and up-skill to keep pace with the changes over the years and stay competitive with new programmers entering the industry. I have also been able to command a premium wage (even through the dot com bust) because I was always watching the industry and was able to anticipate and/or pick up whatever skill I needed to know next to remain in play.

I would conclude that the OP is right only if the IT industry itself stops being such a fast-moving, almost COVID variant-like industry disruptor, demanding brand new, rare skills or programmers decide to exit the tech skills arms race. I think I can go for another ten years at least myself.
Mainly what does having an expensive, fragile human who requires tons of support (air, water, breaks) and legal liability & regulation offer over a remote or now/soon autonomous machine?

In civil law there is a bar to protection if the work lacks "substantial" creativity. But even this bar is extremely low. More or less everything besides maybe simple math formulas is protected.

I’d imagine that they have some pedantic readers who’d get upset with the misspelling.
The commenter you're replying to expressed it confusingly. The point is that in Go, 5 * time.Milliseconds(2500) is a type error, and instead you need to do time.Nanoseconds(5) * time.Milliseconds(2500).
As a fellow T1 diabetic, I fully agree. I'd much rather have no diabetes and full-fat depression (assuming both conditions can be properly medicated) than the other way round - and I already have low-fat depression thanks to decades of untreated ADHD. A hypoglycemic "attack" can kill silently in the middle of the night. And trust me, I have way more frequent "suicidal" thoughts than hypos on an average day (quotes because I know I'm not going to follow through). Of course this isn't meant to be a pity party of who has it worse, this is more of a note to the author/readers.

(Fortunately my ADHD diagnosis + medication seems to be helping a good bit.)
Also, for many of the things we would use a QC for we have digital computers, and they pick most of the low hanging fruit... this was not the case when digital computers started out.
I don't know about this. Even some of the people who use dependently typed proof assistants seem to doubt that they should be used much in the programming part (as opposed to the proving part). Also, some of the examples you give might be addressed well enough by Rust's const generics.

Some servers have had to turn off registrations due to the unusually large influx of new users.
Very few companies make more than a million per employee. And that is inherently deceptive because you have products (FB and Google Search) that could actually make a lot more but don't.

And you need to consider the return, NFLX has the highest revenue per employee and likely isn't profitable once you actually look at capitalized costs. Their spending on tech is certainly very profitable, but that is because they are a media company...not because they are a tech one (the same is true at Disney, at Warner Discovery, etc. This kind of measure overstates the economics because they have huge non-employee costs)...so that leaves AAPL (profitable, but also substantial non-employee costs), GOOGL and FB...both protected by corporate governance abnormalities that allow insiders to skim off huge amounts from monopoly products.

Ultimately, your salary is limited by what you are able to charge. Most devs do not have real agency with the product, that is why salespeople make more. It isn't like finance where you can get paid based on revenue.

> But companies have largely seen that the more developers they hire the more money they make.

I haven't seen this. Almost every tech company I have researched (I worked as an equity analyst for a decade) is massively overstaffed. Sales spending is far more accretive. Devs and cloud are a black hole caused by the lack of business knowledge amongst senior managers (even in the C-suite, tech companies have unusually bad managers). The industry is nowhere remotely close to where it needs to be, and won't be for a long time because most people don't have skills that will generate profit.

Prices going down won't mean more looking to hire because the market is going to shrink overall. I think one area that is severely under-penetrated is tech spending by legacy companies, but that won't make up the gap. At large individual companies, the numbers are insane...some companies will cut thousands, and still need to do more (it isn't just devs either, it is data, managerial, support, project management, marketing...there is just bloat everywhere).
What is 25-55 min.? Driving time? Food Prep? Neither would be accurate for the sub shop or coffee shop in my area code.
it's to indicate that the text quote is as-written (which may not necessarily be a _mistake_), and from the perspective of the BBC, "realize" isn't alternative, it's just wrong :)
There was a lot of BS, as well. It is impossible to tease out which was what.
Recently came in contact with lawyer who charged over $400/hr fees. I was absolutely shocked that they can do that for the trivial work that they do. Most cases are cookie cutter and fill-in-template no-brainers but people tend to go to expensive lawyers just to feel safe and assured in time of crisis in their life. Lawyers take full advantage of this and tend to exploit people in crises to the maximum possible extent. This is not delivering value. Same for doctors. The doctors working in maternity wards routinely charge $500 for coming to you and looking your charts for like 5 minutes and never show their face again. Vast majority of their work is cookie-cutter and would eventually be automated but hospitals take full advantage of people who feel their life is at risk and tend to exploit them at maximum possible extent causing $2000/day maternity bills for absolutely normal pregnancies.

Another point is that developer salaries aren't set by charitable donations. They are set by revenues and companies pay according to value people generate. If author doesn't understand market, it doesn't mean market doesn't exist.
Common at many companies. Revenue comes in and managers build their little empires, justifying it as they go.

>>>> The marginal cost of software is (close enough to) zero

I call this "the magic of software." The reason is that it triggers magical thinking on the part of managers. But I think the magic can be fleeting, depending on the business use for the software, for instance:

* Software that's used internally within a business has a ceiling on volume.

* Platform obsolescence sets a ceiling on the volume that can be sold before a product has to be maintained or re-written.

* A bigger user base is more diverse, thus involving more "difficult" users, exposing more bugs, and discovering hidden features that become future maintenance requirements according to Hyrum's Law.

* A software product that's attached to hardware sales rides on the sales volume of the hardware.

* Higher volume attracts competitors, who force you to add features.

If any business could get rich cranking out copies of software, they wouldn't be prioritizing every other possible revenue model such as data harvesting, advertising, subscriptions, and so forth.
In this context I was talking about something being valuable from an economic standpoint.

That is the only way I know to put a price on something, and this is clearly not a reliable process (see all the scams) but is there anything better?
I think the advantage of having an assertion per test is that it makes sure that all of your assertions are executed. In a lot of test frameworks (that use exceptions for assertions for example) the first assertion fail will stop the test.

That doesn't mean you have to duplicate code, you can deal with it in other ways. In Junit I like to use @TestFctory [1] where I'll write most of the test in the Factory and then each assertion will be a Test the factory creates, and since they're lambdas they have access to the TestFactoy closure.

Saying he didn't have a good plan for their labor doesn't mean they're not worthwhile or bad employees.

Vision is weird. It's things like this that, in my opinion, showcase the idea that our perception of reality is sculpted by our physiobiology.
Not the way of the world, but the way of the world in a zero interest rate environment.

Every tech company hires aggressively in a low interest rate environment for two reasons.

1. Money is cheap
2. Bonds return negative yields so all the money flows into risk assets that grow aggressively. Profits don't matter in this environment.

Those that weren't in the workforce prior to 2008 will now learn the importance of profit as interest rates rise to rates we haven't seen in decades.
Ask HN: Recommend Headphones and a Record Player
I'm looking at getting into vinyl for a hobby and stuck on what record player and headphones to get. A lot of reviews say to get the Fluance RT83 or the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB and it looks to be a split on the 'better' one. Then there are headphones, I'm looking at the Sennheiser 560 or the AKG Pro Audio K702.

What headphones do you use? Have you tried it with a record player? Hopefully I'll get not as biased answers asking here.

I want to stay around $750 for the whole setup.

Thanks for your time.
