Does anyone want that? A meeting room?

They are familiar sure, but who wants to put on a headset for a meeting….

I feel like being familiar here is also being uninteresting.
SQLAlchemy and your efforts are so amazing and appreciated. Thank you and the team for all of your hard work on 2.0 as well as the heroic effort that was put into 1.4 as a stepping stone for existing codebases!
It’s nothing to do with budget… it’s because humans can’t have a desktop PC and APC battery backup suspended on their neck.
Stock has very little to do with “intrinsic value”. The share price is what an investor is willing to bet on the future of the company improving.

This is why companies with lousy future outlooks will sell for a lower price than their assets - debts.

There is no intrinsic value that private companies can stick to. They just have the power of controlling sales so they take sellers out of the market until they get the price they want at a volume they are comfortable with.

Stripe isn’t “intrinsically” worth anything that anyone will agree on. To one person it would be the cash in the bank minus liabilities. To someone else it would be a hefty multiple on that because they believe in the business.
There have always been individuals who feel assaulted by society; what has changed to make these attacks more frequent?

Ask HN: How do you exercise?
There were several posts [1][2] related the benefits of exercise and the comments were filled with interesting discussions about different types of exercises and their benefits. I am curious to know how readers of HN exercise and how it has benefited them personally.

I know, right? And yet, clearly the World Wide Web isn't already The Metaverse because NO ONE--certainly not me--would ever spend their entire day reading ;P.
I'm cynical enough to imagine that this VR stadium would involve purchasing tickets to sit in the nosebleeds. Why? Profit loves artificial scarcity, and of course realism.
For further context: "dinosaurs" covers a time range MUCH longer than the time since they went extinct, i.e. enough time for almost all mammals and modern birds and darn near everything you can see today except crocodiles and horseshoe crabs to evolve.

There was a large variety. An extremely large variety. As much as we are understandably excited about feathers being a thing that we didn't realize earlier, in 100+ million years a lot of things evolve. They didn't all have feathers.

Research can be done well or poorly. Good research with no outlet is not worth a whole lot more.

Fine example: Newton needed an angel to get Principia Mathematica published. It was edited, paid-for and seen through press by Edmond Halley. (Halley was not rich. He was lucky that it sold.)

He is 66 years old. This is a fairly normal retirement age, so it is hard to agree that he was replaced prematurely.
Linux desktop users are so trusty; the only reason half of them aren't owned yet is because they aren't being targeted.

Groups doing Windows malware are routinely doing things like reverse engineering vulnerabilities from binary diffs within hours of Microsoft releasing a patch. If they would spend even a fraction of the skill and effort on targeting Linux desktop users, plenty of Linux users would be owned fast. And unlike with Windows, the Linux community as a whole hasn't spent years evolving ways to respond to this quickly (with the notable exception of _offering_ security updates to address vulnerabilities quickly... through some channels and not others, and many users update twice a year at best).

How much software from hundreds of third-party repos (e.g. AUR) and third-party package managers (e.g. pip) do devs use? Taking over an abandoned package (maybe a dependency of a more popular package), or worse actually legitimately maintaining a package for half a year before adding the malware, isn't hard. And once the malware is on the computer, there are few safeguards for the actual data (malware can probably encrypt $HOME or exfiltrate ~/.ssh/*).

The Linux ecosystem is more than the kernel; it's everything other than the kernel that needs hardening. Especially the culture; the "it can't happen to us" attitude needs to go.

You're mixing up two different things.

You can have all those fancy graphics right now if you want them on a Quest2 or Vibe or whatever at almost 4k something resolution depending on how you measure it. You just hook it up to a PC and play a VR compatible game on Steam, then you get the power of whatever PC GPU you have. You are looking at the games that run standalone on the Quest2, they are stuck with a massively underclocked mobile GPU to make sure your head doesn't melt.

Not all games are about graphics, and I find the most fun and replayable ones certainly aren't. That's where the standalone headset games have their place... The killer feature of these and the Quest2 in particular is that you just throw the headset on and pick up the controllers, it's like the gameboy of VR, no need to hook up external sensors, a gaming rig and a tether, instead you can stick it in your bag and use it almost anywhere.

It depends what you want out of gaming, I haven't owned a console or "gaming PC" in 20 years, I was never a fan of the "wii" type games, I'm an old skool Doom and Quake guy, so I wasn't convinced about VR until I tried it, and yet now i'm one of those weirdos playing beat saber on expert. I don't care much for modern AAA graphics so their absence doesn't really bother me, I grew up seeing the incremental improvements and it's just more of the same to me, most AAA games all appear to be a small variation on the same mechanic, nothing much changes there. What interests me is novel game mechanics with replay value, graphics just need to be acceptable for that. I'm not after a "visual experience", that gets old real quick. But it's all subjective... just don't knock it until you give it a proper try.
In the 70s, it made sense to use metaphors based on experience with the physical world, because we had no alternative. Here in the 2020s, you can skip the clunky skeuomorphism and just assume experience with the digital world. The problem is that VR has always been sold in terms of being a replacement for the physical world, and as it turns out, that's just plain worse than the digital equivalents that we already have. I don't need a VR library full of fake volumes of Encyclopedia Brittanica, because I already have Wikipedia, whose UX is far more convenient, and would only be made worse by imposing a physical metaphor. Unfortunately, anyone who's sunk a few tens of billions of dollars into VR will naturally be resistant to the idea that the spaces that they've so painstakingly made are worse than what they were intended to replace. Why would I want to strap this phone to my face? Nobody has yet found an answer to that question, aside from a handful of first-person video games.
Show HN: Chrome extension to close Zoom/Notion tabs after launching desktop app
Hi HN! I use the desktop versions of Zoom, Notion, and Asana, so at the end of the day, I have a ton of Chrome tabs left over from these services launching their apps. I threw together a little extension to clean these tabs up.

Do folks tend to use the browser versions of these apps? Or are there other sites that this extension should support?
I tried a few scenarios asking for advice and the responses were are reasonable and surprisingly coherent. I imagine it could get theologically weird but I've not seen it yet. I'm guessing the ideas are based on the consensus of biblical advice ideas out on the web.
What percentage of desktop Linux users do that? Most distros don't do any sandboxing and those that do typically have easy ways to run binaries outside of a sandbox.
A little lost here as well but my read was that the PR author was working with outside parties (their company??) to get approval (sign a CLA?) and some third party asked for Datadog's opinion and Datadog advised that they wait for a Datadog feature. Due to this discussion, the third party was in "default no" and the PR author did not push the matter, expecting Datadog to release something, when they did not after several months, the author reopened and pushed to get approval.

I could be totally wrong, but maybe combined we can make sense of it. From my read it feels like DD misguided this third party which then advised the author to spike.
No, they are Meroms/Core architecture. Old, but not PPro old lol.
Being able to make excellent static sites and more advanced things than that is the easy part. Convincing the potential customer to give you the time of the day is the hard part. They will go with their nephew, Wix, an expensive local agency using Wordpress, or social media only - anybody but a competent web designer. Yes I said web designer.

Use your creativity and skills to create killer online businesses for yourself instead of trying to sell web sites to others. It will save you a lot of frustration.

This is my experience.

Re dead code: unless you've got an expert on hand and they know what they're talking about (less likely than anyone wants to admit), I've had fantastic success simply emitting metrics on any line of code I think is unused.

And then ignore it for a month and go do other things.

If it hasn't been hit by then, you've got pretty good evidence that it's not very important. Start deleting.

You can always replace it with an alerting metric if you really suspect it'll matter months later, since you can restore from history when you see it + have better knowledge of the system in the future. And if volume is truly that low and the alert fires, just do it by hand - if it matters by that point it's probably worth a lot of money, and that's time well spent.
I wonder if these changes are driven by the fact that AWS RDS (and presumably other DB as a service environments) don't give you access to the superuser?

Hopefully this will help finally smooth off the rough edges when trying to deal with Postgres databses in both environments; cloud/AWS RDS (for test/prod) and locally (for dev).

It's awkward to have logic branches in the database migrations to deal with the differences between the two environments (creation/re-creation of users and permissions, specifically).
If they just wanted to do as much damage on the way out as possible they wouldn't be spending so much effort on manifestos, video messages, letters and so on. They wouldn't care about becoming famous. Read the report - there is a huge focus on planning. These individuals see this as a way of being heard and sending a message.

The way we talk about these incidents play right into the delusional fantasies of future perpetrators.

You might want to explore using haptic feedback via the devices vibrator motor to prompt the user to breathe in and out.

One short pulse for breathe in, and a longer pulse to breathe out.

This would allow the user to perform the exercises with their eyes closed and the phone on their lap.

I know the visual functionality is core to your design, but might be a good idea to provide some optionality for users who just want to do the exercises without looking at their phone.
Yeah but then people would cry about censorship.

They also have an online shop, with some pretty cool dinosaur t-shirts.

I came across this online shop somehow a few years ago, and thought it would be hilarious to order from the museum shop of a museum I’ve never even been to, and in a country I haven’t been to either at that.

Not sure where I have those dinosaur T-shirts now but I wore them every now and then for a few years at least :) The T-Rex Skeleton T-shirt being my favourite among the ones I bought from there.

In college, we wrote a CPU simulation in C, for a simple architecture called "little computer". You could call it an emulator, but the whole idea was to faithfully implement all the pipelining and register renaming and stuff. A main loop iteration was equivalent to a clock cycle.
Diatomaceous earth (made from diatom fossils) is great for killing bugs and also if you eat some it gives you great hair and skin.
Conversely, who wants to look at flat boxes of people on a flat screen? Imo the best use case for VR isn’t in replacing reality. Its best use case is to mimic reality for people who are remote. VR meetings are way better than zoom or teams video meetings. I can also tell you that VR ping pong or VR mini golf are both way better than just having a FaceTime call. People who refuse to even try modern VR aren’t going to come to this realization.
Try doing an image search in Google for "flowchart". The first 18 images have diamond shaped decision boxes, like an ISO flowchart. In fact, as I scroll, nearly all of the images look like ISO flowcharts.

Searches which yield graphs more like what you're doing are "concept maps", "block diagrams", "org charts", or "tree diagram". However, your tool allows zero or more parents and zero or more children, whereas many of these don't allow all those choices or allow more than that.

Flowcharts need at least diamonds and circles in addition to rectangles. They also allow arbitrary connections, not just parent, and children. I'm not a topology person, but from some digging around, it seems like the connections that you're allowing are typical of a "directed acyclic graph".
Yeah. But it made clear many things that are otherwise too often cloudy. And despite its age it's still relevant.

Some people need a story.
Google has already created channel memberships, where the channel can offer perks like member-only content in exchange for additional payment to the channel owner. It certainly looks like an attempt to squeeze out Patreon and similar services.

The catch is that Google gets a 30% cut, compared to 3-5% for Patreon and such.

> It's not like they're all state enterprises.

Isn't it? If the companies all take orders from the state, and have state representatives on their boards, that seems pretty close.

> And they didn't "steal" know-how - they earned it, by doing stuff (aside from the odd case of corporate espionage, which certainly cuts both ways).

Espionage is asymmetric, and there are also cases of China seizing whole companies outright from foreign investors. Capital controls and controls on the ability of foreign companies to do business are very much asymmetric.
Indeed if we did apply that level of analysis to other companies, we might not have emded up depending on a one man dictatoship flush with concentration camps, ongoing genocide and war preparations for essentials like PPE and antibiotics.. imagine that.
It’s also not how eyes work because your visual resolution isn’t consistent across the field of view, saccades are a thing, etc. but it’s serviceable enough to get the point that you’re not just rendering a high-resolution scene but two of them requiring different processing for a fair chunk of the pipeline (consider how much geometry is only visible to one of them when you walk around a corner).

> And your explanation doesn't cover why the minimum number of cameras would be 12.

This is covered in the article. The key thing to understand is that there are multiple tasks using cameras: AR needs to track the world around you, you need eye tracking to handle saccades and conscious direction, and tracking hands, arms, legs, facial expressions, and body position accurately requires multiple cameras with enough parallax to build 3-D models which are accurate enough to generate realistic, stable imagery. People will really notice if things bounce around or deform or if you punt on some of the proven and end up with Meta’s leg problem.

The key point to take away here is that AR/VR aren’t one hard problem but a collection of hard problems which all need to be solved for most people to find the experience compelling — all with tight physical constraints.
> Claim above was that intelligence "is really just" access to education, but now the goalpost has shifted

It really is just that.

Similarly, strength is really just about how much you work out. "But genetic factors!!" Eh, it's mostly just about how much you work out. It's not really worth talking about genetic factors when the majority of the population can't do a single pullup. Are we moving goalposts, or rather just doing actionable conversations?

> Now it's that access to education is "the most significant part". Is it? How could we know either way? By churning out a bunch of studies? The claim still isn't falsifiable

I'm not going to do your work for you. For some reason you really wanna talk about genes. I'll be honest, I'm going to take you at good faith here, but I'm mighty suspicious of where you're hoping this conversation will go.

Why are you more interested in talking about genetic factors of intelligence than the far more significant factors in economic conditions? What's the deal here? Where you going with this?

There are only two cases... except when there are four, as the article covers. With wildly different conclusions by different languages, so there is no one interpretation / sane mental model that can be applied.

Perhaps in some distros, but not so much elsewhere.

In short: Yes.

Not sure what you mean by the environment, but in general, yeah - a whole bunch of tooling these days is basically unusable without internet access.
