Reminds me of my early days as a rookie people manager. I was asked to estimate a project for a team that I had no idea about their abilities. I was very hesitant to estimate since I had no data to begin with. My manager asked me to throw a number and see if there is a push back!!!

I soon made a decision not to be a manager responsible for guess work based estimation and moved back to an IC role where I estimate effort for work assigned to me.

I would love a competing SERP that simply listed the results on Wikipedia, Reddit, Stack Overflow, etc. Have a major section of the page that ALWAYS lists the Wikipedia result. Don't make me add "reddit" to every search term.

Well also at least in the Quest 2's case, because taking it outside can damage the lenses. From their site:

"Don't store or leave your headset anywhere where it can be exposed to sunlight. The lenses inside your headset can be permanently damaged from less than a minute of exposure to direct sunlight even if it's indoors."[1]

Some people take them outside at dusk so they can get the benefit of a larger arena outdoors, but they do so against Meta's recommendations.

The Vision Pro may have the same or similar limitation.

I think people are vastly underestimating how cool it will look. Will people mock you? Some people, surely. Will it look futuristic af to others? I’d say yes.

And it’s AR, so the laptop comparison doesn’t work on that level too. Superimposed directions, reviews, tourist annotations, and goofy shit like FaceTiming your holographic family or playing geolocation games seem like reason enough for a small minority of users to happily take them out onto the streets. Kinda moot for most Americans anyway, who don’t have walkable streets to take them out on.

It just occurred to me that we’ll have to litigate whether this is acceptable to wear while driving… damn screw the rest of my comment, now I’m super curious how that is gonna turn out

The discussion over on the "I can compile a C program on my 24 year old HP Jornada and I can't on an iPhone" post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36346254 ) seems to have gotten a little heated. I have no skin in that game and encourage people not to re-litigate the Apple fan vs Not Apple fan debate here.

But... a number of people said a number of things about Unix (tm) and it's history that are not supported by the factual record. So I figured it would be good to have a link to the history of Unix (both Unix (tm) and *nix). I'm sure there are minor errors in the wikipedia page on this subject, but I also trust it's largely correct.

Probably a good idea to read this page before saying that "Mach is Unix(tm)." Here's the link to POSIX.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX

If you're unfamiliar with it, it might be a good idea to read up on POSIX compliance / compatibility. Much of the time when people say "Unix compatible" they really mean "POSIX compliant." And that's perfectly okay. We don't say such things under oath. But I saw people talking past each other and seemingly getting perturbed.
Thanks for this really informed and well thought out reply. I learned a lot.
I would guess a repeatable/known type of service or project helps a lot as well. Most of my engagements are relatively different from each other, and I'm doing different things all the time. I've worked places which were offering a narrower set of functionality, with limited customizations, and that's generally much easier to estimate. Also much easier to have estimates in which you've said 'no' to things altogether, vs spending time researching/testing/trialing stuff that's new to you.
looks like lilygo just released a new 2.8" version -> https://www.cnx-software.com/2023/06/10/t-rgb-esp32-s3-board...

with the touch layer it is bigger than 2.8" but I bet that can be removed.

Hi, hacker news community.

Oleg here, founder of Webstudio.
We just launched the Beta a few days ago https://twitter.com/webstudiois/status/1668519656481497088

This is basically the first phase - Builder UX. Builder is focused on designers and visual developers.

Features developers community would expect are still in development and not documented, but I am excited about any feedback!
I can't believe he's the CEO of a company as big as Reddit. After being pressed for why the 3P apps have 1 month to figure out a plan, he is visibly angry and keeps saying "we've been supporting them for 10 years!" which only makes the company look incompetent for not warning sooner if July 1st is some hard deadline. Then saying "those 3p devs [Apollo] don't want to work with us" with no hint of irony. Dude, obviously Apollo can't suddenly start getting billed for $1m/month with no time to change the codebase to see what they can optimize.
Why not just use a centralised forum app?
To whom though? Not even WSB will be touching those shares.
no one used Google Stadia because the business model and service architecture made no sense for a new service and for a company that has a habit of abandoning project that aren't an immediate runaway success stories.

Google legitimately thought they can enter a brand new market, and treat it like they are already the largest player in it. They duped themselves by honestly believing that "this is not the gaming market, this the the Cloud Gaming market". They did get most of the "cloud gaming" enthusiasts on board. All 200 of them.

They weren't like XBox or Nvidia who just had to go to gaming companies and strike a deal or ask for permission to stream their existing games. They were a new "console", you needed to develop for stadia. They needed to pay millions to incentivize companies to put the effort to port their existing games to stadia. Those companies had no customer for the "stadia console" version of their game other than Google sine no one has a "stadia console" or any way otherwise to play that game.

Those tactics may work for Sony or Nintendo or _maybe_ Microsoft. But not for a nobody in the business that literally has no user-base, no games, no history. They had nothing, and tried to pull a "we're the leaders in this market we can do anything we want and everyone will have no option but to take it"

> You need to duplicate your process, then pay the price of memory usage ...

I believe the implementation of the Python multiprocessing package uses fork() on *nix systems which means memory should be copy-on-write.

Processes do have the advantage of being self-contained meaning if one crashes, then it will not take down the entire system. Also, the message passing model can theoretically scale to processes running on separate hardware. Thread's cannot do that.
I don't need immersion when looking at a website.

The actual potential "killer app" is something like a holodeck: a movie that it puts you inside of so there isn't any screen at all.

The problem is that the only part of their $3500 device that is better for this than an oculus quest is the screen resolution. All of that other stuff makes operating menus and AR aspects better, things that are useful for tasks you can already do on a device 1/4 the price.
I sometimes observe things in the phrasing of comments which might incline some to downvote on the basis of incentivizing a better discussion (if I assume generously of the downvoters’ intentions). The comment stating, “I dunno, how about [Suggestions]?” could instead be “[Suggestions].” and the downvoters’ perspective is that it should be.

It’s not necessarily being used as a disagree button in such a case. It’s similar to, “This might be unpopular but ...”; some people will principle-downvote (right or wrong) for what they see as conducive to a bad discussion.
Google's 1st server was housed in a cabinet of Lego bricks. No server rack.

https://scx2.b-cdn.net/gfx/news/2011/googlegrewfr.jpg

Google's first server farm consisted on row after row of regular desktop machines on the floor. Also no server racks.

But sooner or later, you're going to need one of these: https://www.google.ca/about/datacenters/

The thing I would live in constant fear of if I were to host a Mastodon server is that sooner or later, one of your users' posts is going to end up being linked to in a Wired feature article, or a New York Times article, or goes viral for any of a billion reason, and your server is going to end up getting hammered with 10,000 requests a second for a week or a month, which means you're going to be facing a sudden unexpected $3,000 AWS bill. (Not sure what it would actually cost. Anyone?)

I've seen what being linked to in a Wired article does to a web server. It's ugly.
> You saw the "look at your Mac and the screen appears" bit, right ?

You can already do that with something like XReal Air for 10x less (both the price and the weight).

> Given that this is a full-blown M2 on-board, I think relegating it to "just like an iPad" is a little lacking in foresight

The ability to have multiple virtual monitors with a mac? Thats a game changer (potentially). The ability to run multiple virtual monitors with an iPad? Pretty cool I guess, not sure what I'd use them for though. It'd be nice for watching movies, but again, see above, XReal (and probably a load of others by now) already has that covered.

Put it this way, theres a reason sidecar lets you use your ipad as a second display for your mac and not the other way around
Yes, I think it's more common in shops - especially discount shops. Anecdotally, with my first car, the first quick lube used the wrong wrench too tight on my oil pan bolt and basically stripped it; another friend got the incorrect filter one time.

I may know less, but I'm not being watched for efficiency; I'm less likely to break out an impact gun (partly because it doesn't fit under the car as easily) and I can compare the old to the new. And if I'm tired, I can take a break and check the manual.

And if I do the work, I do the test drive; and if something goes awry, I should know what to look for, for that rattle, that noise, or the next warmup. A quick lube tech might drive your car 30ft to a parking spot, and is likely thinking more about the next car than, any given noise, or whether the thermostat has cycled even once.

On your further, sure you can split the difference, and I do do that when I do take it to a shop, and most of the time I've not been impressed (though I have been with some bmw shops). But this only works if you know what your engine sounds and looks like when clean.
As long as rich people can buy your politicians, America, your politicians will treat you with disdain.

This is not an isolated instance, this isn't even the most egregious.

Q: Why does past participle in German begin with "ge-"?

A: To give the speaker some time to remember what verb they had in mind 90 seconds ago when they started the sentence.
The renderings look a lot prettier but the 3D structure seems not really good.

Most nerfs use classical bundle adjustment (eg Colmap) as an initialization but this one does not, and the authors mention that they leave bundle adjustment for future work.
This is why I think Reddit will be easier for people to move away from. For the most part you're not interested in any individual, just the topics.

Whenever the topic of software estimates comes up, I am reminded of Erik Bernhardsson’s piece[1].

It was a great read, and still proves useful when trying to explain how things can sometimes go quite wrong.

FYI: Under the "Video Comparisons" section, those two little "Sequence" and "Method" buttons are actually dropdowns.
Ok. So? I also think solo people don't care much about "a better experience". Indeed, bingers seem almost definitionally people who do not care about good experiences.

Regardless, if that family of four watches separately, $1k on 4 adequate TVs also seems like a perfectly fine solution. If the kids aren't just watching stuff on their phones, which seems pretty common in my experience.
> Want to easily share files between your PC and iPhone?

You define "easy" as using a USB cable, but most people would think that cloud storage is easier. You can do that too:

They are. Not necessarily en-masse, but 10 years ago the terms "digital footprint" and "third-party cookies" were not commonly known terms. They are now.

I think it's simply a matter of the media not being there yet. You could envision movies made specifically for experiencing through these devices that would be utterly enthralling to take in, but it won't be for another half decade at least.

Otherwise, I think Apple's focus on "spatiality" is what is key.

I don’t understand either point, would appreciate elaboration if you find the time. Your first sentence says they’re the same thing, but then your second sentence discusses their differences? Maybe “ignoring for a moment” is just doing some real heavy lifting?

Re:strategy, I feel like there are many examples of companies who didn’t start with top-shelf products - I mean, we could start with the iPad and iPhone, which were expensive but I don’t think quite to this degree. But I’m assuming you know more about this - is Tesla the main counterexample?
For op, love the product/platform you're working on. Like a lot of us here, I tinker too. I appreciate the joy and hard work that goes into it.

My question was more tangential/philosophical, and not something for you to fix of course.
That would be easier if there was a required nutrition label "Requires root access which will not be revoked on uninstall", "requires background services when app is not running", "shares telemetry with developer".

That is far from the world we are in and the budget tech has to defeat any law that would attempt to implement those protections.

As it is many developers seem not to care if whatever frameworks they use are affecting system integrity or stability if it would generally not be noticed by the end user. Most users are going to need a trustworthy gatekeeper why can make some of these evaluations so you do not need extensive research just to play a game.

Not to say I agree with the position Apple appears to be taking here on not allowing macOS apps to run directly on the device, and not allowing it to function as a display for every device in the home. For single people in small spaces who currently burn wall space for monitors and televisions or just do not like big black slabs in their living space this could have been a useful gizmo.
It was an honest typo, but it did make me think that at some point with the heat of the idea of the "Metaverse" in some circles, that Google could roll out a competing "Adverse".
