In those states first mortgages are "non-recourse" loans. What that means is that if the borrower does not pay off the loan the lender's remedy is limited to whatever they can get foreclosing and then selling the house.

With a non-recourse loan if I find myself owing a lot more on my mortgage than my house is worth I've got the option of just walking away and letting the lender foreclose. I will no longer have a house after that, but my possessions and savings and investments and income will be safe.

In the other states first mortgages might be "recourse" loans. With those if selling the house isn't enough to pay off the loan they can come after you personally for the difference.

With a recourse loan the lender can come after me for the shortfall if the foreclosure sale isn't enough to pay off the loan. They might go after my possessions, saving, investments, and income.

That statement is way too definitive. VR gaming and sales are low because content is low. It's plagued with the cold start problem of all new platforms where publishers won't target VR because it's a small market, and VR won't grow because the game selection is very limited. When a major publisher pushes something to VR, it's usually an half-assed port that fail to leverage the completely different user interface.

If we had 5 games with the polish of Half-life Alyx in VR the sales would probably be higher, but as it is we don't so everyone I know with a headset enjoyed that one game then promptly put their headset back in storage and only take it out for the occasional beat saber game.
There is no best mental tool. This is design, we don't have methods to converge on optimums. So you can't probably say any mental tool is better. It's all just different sets of primitives and category primitives, if you squint, feels like the proper theory of design.

Category theory is also so abstract that you can literally find it in everything. So it's not like it doesn't apply, it applies to everything.

When I say Haskell is a category theory framework I mean that Haskell has primitives that are explicitly modeled after CT and named with the same mathematical names. You don't have to know CT from a mathematical angle to use Haskell but it doesn't change the fact you are using CT primitives like functor to build things.

Other languages have CT concepts like functors but they don't crystallize the concept in such a pure and explicit form. That's just my opinion on it. You are welcome to disagree.

But when you say garbage like "100% nonsense" it's just fucking rude and against the rules here at HN. Don't say it again. Speak respectfully or don't speak at all.
I've recently started doing this as part of my "GOOG lockout" plan.

There are enough stories on here of people waking up to find they've lost access to Gmail or other services that I see this as a credible scenario.

My vanity domain for mail and Oracle CI NextCloud allow me to use their services without fear.

I've recently set up Amazon SES so I can send emails from <companyname>@vanity.domain instead of replies coming from Gmail.

At the first sign of being locked out I can switch my forwarding to another provider and carry on as usual. Self hosting isn't even out of the question if it comes to it.

Maybe they finally realized they looked stupid after a decade of using Venezuela as an example of how crypto can help a country, even though crypto hasn't made anything better there.
Very few websites fit my vertical monitor well. This website looks awesome! The content is quality, too. Well done.
I think Meta would disagree would disagree with the assertion "the tech is amazing right now." The two easiest problems to point to are a) resolution on most consumer headsets is far too low to read text effectively, and b) the ergonomics just aren't there in terms of weight and size.

Pretty big problems - I don't really have any argument either way on how solvable they are in 5-10 years, but I really think the implication that people dislike the concept of working in VR itself is misguided.

But they all still optimize their JITs to prioritize compilation speed & RAM usage (JIT'd code is dirty pages after all) over maximum optimizations. This is why you see things like WebKits multi-tier JIT strategy: https://webkit.org/blog/3362/introducing-the-webkit-ftl-jit/

They still want to swap in that JIT'd result ASAP since after all by the time it's been flagged for compilation it's already too late & is a hot hot hot function.
Why? What if your decisions lead to hiring 100k, and -10k in a downturn. Is that a net good or not?

They are related in both being cascading crises of confidence. ‘08 manifested from a novel opacity around correlation (lack of centralised counterparty reporting) from novel non-bank banks (shadow banks). This is just a three-point recursion cycle: FTX, FTT and Alameda.
An uncle of mine loaned me his abridged Vonnegut shelf, including Galapagos. Sirens of Titan also is good. Very strange.

Vonnegut deals in Scenes. It is why we love him. Like Fitzgerald, he wrote of a Movie Age. And so I evaluate him based upon his individual scenes, not books.

Bank runs are wrong for exchanges. They never should have fractional reserves.

And derivative trading shouldn’t be based on lending out customer funds. The exchange should lend out their own funds. They charge a lot of interest for the leverage, and they don’t even take the risk on their own money?
Most of the VR software I've tried have anti-nausea features like teleportation and unmoving frames of reference, so I'm not sure it's fair to say that no one's talking about it.

I think the hope was that some combination of hardware and software would solve the problem.

Absolutely. After covid, people are craving physical contact and outdoor activities. Travel and tourism is trending up. This idea that people want to put on a headset and stay indoors, netflix and chill or whatever is not happening. Maybe the niche hackernews/reddit crowd might prefer to avoid social contact and put on a VR headset, but I'm not seeing that in the local restaurants, bars, shopping malls, concerts, and theatres. They are crowded.

citation needed. For me, it's the scratches and the surface issues. Even though I have no problem taking care of my regular glasses for years, most of my sunglasses become unusable and hard to see through from deteriorating surface and scratches after 6-10 months. No matter if I get $30 or $300 ones.

I don’t think reverting the broken code should be on the critical mitigation path at all.

Imagine a scenario where a bug didn’t immediately cause an issue or where your release contains more than 1 new PR. If you suspect the latest version of the binary is broken, your first instinct should be to use a version that isn’t. Figuring out the change and rolling it back should come after the rollback, when you have more time to think.

Deciding whether to revert a change is tactical question. Often the issue will be because you tickled an unknown bug in a different part of the code. In that case, it’s a lot easier to fix forward than revert the code that tickled the big and go through the multiple steps of fixing the bug and redoing.
cryptography was not invented for cryptocurrency, I don't understand why it should go anywhere lol

It has many applications far beyond cryptos lol
If you wanted to you could make a pair of sturdy sunglasses, I think they are designed to break right now.

With regard to AR glasses, I would put the expensive part in my pocket like a phone, and the glasses would be just like the wireless earbuds, easily disposable / replaceable.
I have been thinking the same thing. All hail Tim Cook, boring industrial engineer and operator of antifragile corporations that don't gamble with customer funds.
I haven't suffered from this but anecdotally proper calibration as well as better tracking and frame rate do have a significant effect on whether people suffer such side effects. The Quest series (which if it was bought to a party is my guess on what was used) are great value for money and are competent VR devices (and leading in some ways) but they make compromises to achieve this and I wouldn't rule out the ability to comfortably use VR based on a bad experience with such a device.

Having said that I'd agree network effects for personal uptake are killed by "Just spend 3x as much on the headset and peripherals and have a computer that cost 4x as much and you can use it in a dedicated room you've set up your tracking lighthouses in".
No one wants to wear a clunky device on their face for hours for entertainment.
VR is too early to be the meta of the future because of the fact we would need something that is completely standalone , have the performances of the valve index including the computer that goes with it and the price of the Oculus Quest 2. If they instead attempted to only focus on software similar to how Google made Android it could have gone better but his strategy was too early to execute . Also, I think that it’s just that they don’t have a platform it’s also that they have basically everyone that could see an advertisement that has signed up with Facebook / WhatsApp and Instagram so they don’t have the ability to grow their advertisements. This is something he had to do which was to give internet to places that didn’t have it but you would have the ability to access Facebook for tree.
"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
In my experience "dead wrong" is also wrong. I don't believe VR will ever obsolete some swaths of gaming, but there are certain VR experiences that leave the conventional-gaming alternative feeling utterly worthless by comparison. The feeling of "actually" jumping into the cockpit of my spaceship in Elite Dangerous during the COVID lockdowns was intense, joyful, and freeing in a way no picture on a monitor could ever replicate.

However VR is still an emerging and expensive medium; I'm very lucky to be able to afford the gaming rig, headset, controllers etc required to have that experience. As those barriers to entry lessen, VR will absolutely obsolete certain traditional gaming experiences as much as television murdered the ubiquitous living room radio.

Maybe food is plentiful enough that they never need to bother with its quantity, but there's some strobing energy source in their environment which periodically walks important chemicals through an ultimately cyclical series of states.

So like, the food is poisonous on strobes 3 and 8 of a 14 strobe cycle, and understanding that is the key to staying alive in their environment.
> even though the tech is amazing right now

Have you ever tried to work in VR? It's not amazing at all, my Quest 2 (which has reasonably high resolution per modern headset standard) just can't render clearly enough for me to use VSCode. I tried it and it was just not there yet. Double the pixel density and you would have something I would consider using.

I'm not necessarily convinced that we'll do all of our meetings in VR ever, but it's reasonable to say that tech still has a way to go before I'd call it as "VR is the issue".

Banks inherently gamble with customers deposits, every loan is a gamble. They also can invest in certain types of debt securities, there’s security regulations but that isn’t bad on its own.

What FTX did is much worse. They spent their customer’s money on stupid shit like the Miami Heat stadium, political donations, and charity work (which was legitimately really good but not their choice to make), and then replenished their own coffers by making their own crypto out of nothing and assigning it to themselves. They essentially stole their customer’s money.
Yes, iOS 15 is vulnerable to these and probably others.
The market believed in LUNA and FTT as well. Luna's market capitalization was $40B at one point.
Thanks for the info. I don't actually use MacOS myself, but I'm interested in getting faster userspace networking and filesystem sharing for Linux and Windows hosts. virtiofs is interesting but it's unfortunate that it requires a daemon and AFAIK doesn't run on Windows hosts.
> Ok, I buy this, however, what is this "purpose/ meaning/ calling/ value" thing? What does it mean, really? How do I find mine?

Human purpose is ultimately rooted in human nature and its ends. We often seem to think that either purpose is something arbitrary in relation to us or that there is some secret purpose within us that we must discover. Both fall into extremes because on the one hand, human nature determines what is valuable activity, and on the other hand, the concrete ends we engage in are various and open ended, even though they are determinations of what holds generally. Happiness is ultimately rooted in the fulfillment of human nature and its end(s), and (we cannot attain perfect fulfillment in this life), at the very least, avoiding doing things which are directly opposed to our natures.

So I would begin by trying to understand human beings by way of natural law. You'll see virtue come up in this context. The virtues are like a ladder of habits (in the sense of habitus) that lead to happiness.

Given that, I think the grand question of "finding" your purpose starts to look a bit uninteresting. Certainly, we might say some people perceive a calling, but I would be very careful not to construe this in emotional terms. All the pop culture talk about "following your passions" is absolutely disastrous. You don't follow your passions, you follow reason. This is not to say the two must be in opposition, only that the passions are often treated with an absurd reverence, as if they were some great source of hidden wisdom or "true identity".

So I wouldn't worry so much about "finding" this grand purpose of yours. If you live virtuously, you will know how to respond to the world.

What happens to what we call families right now, when they are further away than the ones living in our thoughts?

Could this be a kintsugi moment for social networking? That the lonely amongst us can find a tribe of real humans, to quash the qualm, to salve the screaming silence? Or does it dig deeper the divide?
Possibly? I’m an SRE. I don’t think my position is too different from the SREs I know :)
Fortran was my first language. It's crap on working with character data. I happily moved to PL/1.

I was in a project using Fortran for telecom switches and had to add an Assembler routine for character manipulation.

PL/I can produce efficient numeric code, provided you avoid library calls, and dope vectors (use static and pointers).

However that requires setting standards to avoid PL/I performance traps.

PL/I data conversion library subroutines can bog performance by a factor of 10.
100% agree on Zuckerberg really understanding Facebook and where it needed to go.

The most interesting part of the email to me was seeing his support for aquiring Unity. Not being able to land that acquisition almost feels like the critical reason Meta doesn't have much to show today, after all this effort. And it doesn't look like the aquisition failed due to lack of trying! ironSource ended up doing a merger acqusition that finally closed just a few days ago.
I have a saying: Software is eating the world but hardware creates the new world. Without a hardware play, no company can become the next Apple. Whether VR/AR is the right paradigm though, is yet to be seen. I also think Facebook will not be the one to crack this. Existing companies usually don't bring the next wave of the world.

I continue to think that the best model is the one adopted by Fody.NET[0]. It's open-source, on GitHub, under the MIT license, developed in the open, and with a voluntary OpenCollective. And if you open an issue or pull request and you're not on the OpenCollective, it's usually immediately closed, by policy. The result is a system that is paid enough to be excellent, excellent enough for most users not to need support, and non-bogged enough for paying users to get excellent support.

The best part is when corporations get involved. A company will absolutely get something for free if it can, but if it has to pay, it'll pay a lot more than the absolute minimum, for PR reasons.
