I haven't used the XREAL AIR personally but I've used similar devices and it's pretty night-and-day I think:

- Sensors: It looks like the XREAL AIR doesn't have any sensors so just displays the monitor in a fixed position on screen, which is pretty different than loading up monitors in a fixed point in space and being able to look away at other stuff. Also eye tracking is a pretty killer feature that totally changes the game in my opinion, I wouldn't personally buy a headset without it after having experienced it.

- VR vs AR display: As I'm sure you're aware, with AR sunglasses you can't really have anything darker than the actual light passing through so you're limited to only rendering stuff brighter than the surroundings. Maybe for text it's fine but not for images or video in my opinion. I can't find any footage taken through the XREAL AIR lens (and their website doesn't faithfully show this effect) so idk exactly how big the difference will be for you.

- FOV: I'm not actually sure what the FOV is of the Vision Pro but it's significantly higher than 46°. And because usable area increases with the square, you'd be able to fit a few times more displays and other stuff in.

- Resolution: XREAL AIR looks to be 1080p, Vision Pro is way better than that (per-degree too), so you can have better looking and smaller text.

I tried this with the iPad for a while but it ended up just being too buggy (weird cursor and scrolling errors, in particular). I wonder if it'll be any better using eye tracking as a cursor
Christian Selig's post covers this in detail and includes references to other app developers with similar concerns.

I think some important takeaways are: the proposed pricing monetizes the users much higher than Reddit can general monetize them today. And the 30 day window apparently precludes any kind of orderly transition for the app developers who have been monetizing their apps on a yearly schedule.

I never understood this point. Reddit provides zero discoverability.
The logic behind dowries was that women were a burden since they would be relying on the husband for food, shelter and protection.

They were leaving their original family, thus reducing the number of people who'd need to be fed and sheltered, while the husband's family was taking on that duty, thus they claimed to deserve compensation.

Such cultures suffered from similar other ills like mistreating or kicking out widows or, in India, the practice of having the wife burn alive on the husband's funeral pyre.

Their persistence nowadays (particularly in wealthier societal strata) is largely cultural inertia and greed, as of course nowadays in all wealth levels it is very normal for women to earn their own living too.

In my family, dowry for the current generation has been passed off as "gifts intended for the couple's married life", which although still doesn't sit quite right with me, is at least not as exploitative and not explicitly asked for. It mostly boils down to expensive gifts of clothes, kitchenware, makeup etc which can be useful when establishing a family.

How Reddit Got Huge: Tons of Fake Accounts

https://www.vice.com/en/article/z4444w/how-reddit-got-huge-t...

Reddit has always seemed to have gotten a pass when it comes to being a cesspool of fake accounts, what we would call bots today. I'm really hoping it fails, it's leadership team has always been amongst the worst of the tech companies.

More than 80 percent of Google's revenue comes directly from selling your privacy to advertisers --- aka "personalized" ads.

More then 80 percent of MSFT's revenue comes directly from selling software and services.

Google earns about as much money from privacy invasion as MSFT does from software and data services. You can try to deny or ignore the reality of it --- but you have nothing to refute it other than personal bias.
You've raised a really important issue: cleanliness and safety. Of course, no single public transport reform can solve all of a city's social problems, but even in terms of cleanliness and safety, the idea of a bus taxi might be a better solution than a regular large bus or subway:

1) Minibuses are small, essentially their space is divided into personal zones and cannot serve as a residence for homeless people like large buses or subways;

2) Access to such a bus can be personalized;

3) The adaptability of the route means its unpredictability for a fare evader, even if they get in, meaning such transport is inconvenient for fare evaders;

There are probably more solutions that I haven't considered yet.

No, they are not. IP addresses aren’t meant to be private. Furthermore, in the world of CGNAT (and even more so with IPv6) it’s just a meaningless set of numbers.
"But consider something like this (JS) using WaitGroups in Go:"

Sure, though if this is something you're doing a lot of it's not hard to abstract out.

However, let me put on the other side of the balance the sheer staggering quantity of code there is out there that just "await"s everything in line as if they were writing some version of Go that required you to specify every function that could potentially be async, because Promise.all and friends are quite uncommon.

Before you jump up to protest to the contrary, go run a grep over your code base and count the "await"s that are simply awaiting the next thing in sequence versus doing something less trivial. Even those of you who write this code fluently will probably discover you have a lot of things just getting directly awaited. The exceptions, being rare, are cognitively available; the number of times you almost unthinkingly type "await" don't register because they are so common. Only a few of you doing something fairly unusual will be able to say with a straight face that you are using Promise.whatever abstractions all the time. Even fewer of you will be able to say you use all different kinds and construct your own and couldn't solve the lack of some particular abstraction in Go in just a few minutes of writing some function.

It's like going through life with autism and being called "neurodiverse" as if you haven't lived with an active disability your whole life, you're just a little different from everyone else.

Man, with me on the edge to nuking or not nuking my reddit account with a couple of smaller communities, I didn't need more nostalgia back here. I was part of the "night crew" over on the old freenode in a few tech channels since I'm from europe and the times I have time ended up being when the US was asleep, haha. Learned to much about a couple of topics over that time as well. I still know way too many arcane weirdnesses and internals of python from stints on #python.

Could you explain the culture around marriage and dowries a bit more?

I'm really confused as to why marriage is culturally important when dowries and that level of abuse exist.

Why is marriage common if it's just an excuse to extort the bride's family and it endangers everyone's daughters? From my perspective that's a deal no one would want to take.
Depends how badly they fail. To take the full advantage of CF you need to keep your DNS with them. That means if you can't configure any changes, you can't quickly move to another provider either. Your only solution at that point is to transfer the whole domain, but that may also require CF's assistance. (Unless they don't handle your apex domain)

Effectively unless they're down for more than a day, you're better off taking the hit and waiting for them to resolve everything.
this has always bothered me too, to the point of making me think that the "only a century ago, women were considered property" claim to either be a false oversimplification, or require far more justification than I've ever seen given to the topic.

because like, I can sell my property, in addition to buying it—so I'm not really sure how that adds up, either.
>Yeah, let's ratchet it up and take the culture war into absolutely everything. It's a bad precedent. You've already seen the right now taking up the left's tactics and it's not the kind of place anyone wants to be in.

What are you suggesting here? Should we curtail free speech by either restricting how a copyright holder can edit their work or that protests against those copyright holders should be limited?

>That's has been happening too! Revise so that everything was bad and everything we are doing is good.

What are you suggesting here? Should history never be reevaluated with modern context?

>"We"? who is "we"?

> If someone doesn't like our culture and wants their own then they should invent it. They are interlopers that should stop trying to take our culture and changing it to suit their belief system. They need to create their own idols and gods if the existing ones don't suit their arbitrary, new standard.

I imagine this isn't your intent, but this might not even be indirect enough to be considered a dog whistle. Comments like "They are interlopers that should stop trying to take our culture" are exact phrases we might expect in a racist manifesto. Considering the topic at hand and your previous questioning of my use of pronouns, maybe be a little more cautious about your "our"s and "they"s.
The code isn't a good fit for supporting any sort of ownership, including NFTs. They would be trivial to rip and anyone could use your expensive junk without paying for it.

There's not a good system of ownership and asset control either.

And as a project we're ideologically opposed to cryptocurrency and NFTs and just finished ripping out the remains of the Blockchain code from the original project.
To use Cloudflare, you switch your domain's DNS server to them. If that broke, you probably can't switch out without incurring the usual DNS propagation delay on your nameserver.

If DNS is up, you can change specific records to point to your origin or another provider instead of the proxy/CDN, provided that it can handle the load and doesn't need a setup similar to Cloudflare (i.e. repointing your nameserver).
Dowry, the opposite of bride price, is a way to marry your daughter into a higher status family. Ours is an extremely status conscious society. For a bride family, it is like buying status. Dowry in its most obscene form is a richer India thing but poor seems to be copying a quite a lot of it. As a corollary, its mostly high caste, and cities and thing. Cities accounts to most dowry related deaths/murders though I am not very sure if underreporting has something to do with it.

In the last, it was mainly a north Indian thing but has successfully been imported by South as well especially Andhra.
Enums are one example. They are compiled to objects existing at runtime rather than stripped out like types.

Technology should be weighing the benefit against the cost.

It’s not that techno-notaries wouldn’t have benefits, it’s that they wouldn’t have much benefit over the current system.

Also, digital notaries aren’t required to do things like signing images or even documents or commits or whatever.

I would just hate if all my documents requiring a notary suddenly required enotaries.

The use of tags vs discrete communities keeps it from being a viable alternative to Reddit for me.

I have a real disdain for tags for user generated content. Every site I have seen use tags I end up having to wade through a ton of spam or vaugly related content to whatever tag I am looking for. The only exception I can think of is Hashtags for twitter but that is due to the character limit.

I understand that people see tages as a solution to crossposting but I think people overlook the benefits of crossposting. Being able to have seperate conversations on AI art in an art community vs programming community is more useful to me than having a single post that both communities comment on.

>"just" runs Linux for many real-world applications, but with extra steps (via a VM).

You can run a modern web browser, with 3d hardware acceleration, on Genode itself.

It has Virtualbox support, which is super convenient for covering any functionality gaps, but you don't need that for the above.

Virtualbox simply enabled the developers to dogfood Genode years ago already, instead of today.
Can I write software using Xcode day 1 for this? Do I need to also have a Mac? I mean I do have a Mac but an extra $3500 is steep.

Marriage isn't a good contract to enter into unless you're both going to stick it out (or there's a good life insurance policy).

Also from a purely fitness perspective, if you're male and want an opposite sex partner, be liberal. Vice versa.
> This is the second time I've seen in this thread that people lump Crockford in with Java enterprise folks, but Crockford routinely says `class` was the worst addition to JS.

Because Crockford was one of the people advocating for a particular style of initialization of objects that mirrored classes, but was not directly a class before classes existed in JS. (see: https://crockford.com/javascript/inheritance.html)

It is utterly enterprise and classlike in nature though, and not my cup of tea. Mainly - I just wanted enterprise folks to stop trying to re-invent classes in the language, and the class keyword stopped that behavior.

Big net win for the language in my opinion - even though I personally still don't use classes all that often.

His modern take is fairly reasonable, though.
It's worth pointing out that those kids are merely a very visible minority of wealthy kids, typically born to nouveau riche families. The majority of wealthy families, especially those who have had their money for a couple generations, are basically invisible to the proletariat.

The kids go to prestigious private schools, where they get a better education than you, then get propelled into jobs that simply aren't available to most, like politics, or non-profit boards, and the like. Some will end up taking jobs basically recreationally, like my billionaire highschool teacher. They might be somewhat entitled, in the sense that they don't feel that their life of largely leisure is undeserved, but in our current economic system they're regularly told they're not wrong.

These are the terrifying rich, and the ones that are actively running the world. They're effectively checked out from the money economy, and spend their time primarily in the power economy. The illusion that "oh, rich kids grow up to be spoiled, ineffectual brats" only works to their benefit.
As far as I know, the Tesla M40 is server "only" (it doesn't have sufficient cooling for a consumer desktop)
I think we're in such an odd spot. Companies are growing to such incredible size because of the inefficiencies of capitalism. For all the talk of markets and financial instruments the single greatest asset in our economy is cheap capital and we're simultaneously better than we ever have been at allocating it while also being abysmally bad.

We've invented feudalism all over again because paying tribute to your capital lord and uniting kingdoms through marriage is the best way forward. We've royally fucked something up when companies even want to merge. Vertical integration should be the coal mine in the canary that the incentives are all wrong.
One doesn't have to look thousands of years into the past for an agrian fictional/proposed culture.

America had dowries until the mid 1800s and the wealthiest among us globally still predominantly define marriage in romantic and business terms.

The issue that most comments do not discuss, that exacerbates this situation, is the idea that a bride marries into another family and becomes that family's responsibility. Dowry is most often demanded by the parents of the marrying groom, and negative actions are often taken on as a group rather than an individual.

As a result:

- laws are written to impact the entire family.

- The logic is 'one more mouth for the working FIL to feed' esp when marriages are younger and the groom's career is still growing.

- women have limited cultural rights to exit relationships in hindu society with massive repercussions socially and in their employment

I do want to point out for that last one, the stink of divorce has only recently begun to dissipate. Women in the US in our grandparents and great grandparents era could not bank independently, it was very difficult to get even near parity of pay and often kept cash or valuables to pawn so that they would have an exit or a net if their partner was unsuitable or died.
But every word can be relative to that? I don't see where we'd go with that. I do think it's how the word relates to the topic that's interesting, if that's what you mean, but I think we are trying to get at that (-:
