I personally think AR is mostly for techies/nerds/gamers, and professionals.

Doing CAD work in AR with a $3500 devices is worth it for any businesses.

Even as a sale tools when selling large products (cars, boats, etc.) without the need for stock. i.e. I can go to my local dealership, and look at their new model in persons. Then play with AR to decide which options I want for the colour, wheels, dashboard, etc.
Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

This sounds like a recipe for resentment on both sides of the relationship.
What's wrong with the Quest Pro passthrough? It's been a while since I last tried it but I remember being very impressed with the latency and fidelity of it. That's not to say it was a great experience, the software was really unstable but I was very impressed with what it could do.
>Again, if you don't like it, don't buy it.

Obviously? I'm not searching for a personal shopping solution in this thread; I would hope it's obvious that I'm not going to buy this pair of headphones.

>The more you rant, the harder they will make it for next time.

I think, and this one might just be a wild and crazy idea, next time they can not deliberately break their product line to sell at a lower cost.

My hope when I buy a product is that the company is selling me the best product they can at a particular price point. I don't mind the company making a profit. In fact, I want them to! I just don't appreciate the expectation that I need to break apart every product to determine if they are intentionally sabatouging their product line.
I live in France as well, and personally do not feel the same negativity as you.

What I don't appreciate at all is our share of idiots that think that blocking the country is a proper way of protesting (see "gilets jaunes"). That is not democratic, when a minority imposes their will to the silent majority.
Given that out of the dozen or so "main political parties" he is the only one who wants that, and that when asked about their priorities for the change of France no group of frenchmen put that in their top 5 besides voters of LFI ...

You're absolutely right that there are definitely some people who want a 6th republic but do not vote or agree with LFI, but for the sake of generalized conversation like we're having now they're mostly irrelevant. If it were to happen, it would be through him and his "vision", and as such I maintain my critics.

Beware of what you want for you might just get it.
I have found LLMs quite useful in fighting procrastination.

For myself, procrastination is usually caused by the fear of how painful it is to get up and running on a new project or task.

Asking an LLM to start the work gets the annoying bits out of the way.

Even if it does most of it incorrectly, at least you've built momentum, and then you can take over from there.
Mostly churches. A few universities where there was a conservatorium of music had some smaller organs.

The company I worked with didn't install into anyone's home, but one of our competitors did once.
That's actually probably one of the best things about Amazon - if there's a type of product you want, you can probably find it pretty quickly on Amazon, and then if you're ok with crappy quality and spending too much for what you're getting and paying for prime or shipping, then you can save a lot of time by just ordering it on Amazon. The things that stop me from doing that are, 1) wanting to see / try on the product in real life before I buy, 2) the fear of getting ripped off by buying something crappy on amazon when I could have gotten a better deal overall somewhere else, 3) wanting to get it sooner and not wait for it to ship, and 4) not wanting to get prime because their shitty ui that funnels you into getting prime rubs me the wrong way, and because of the psychological factor that I know will influence me to get more stuff from amazon if i get prime. Also 5) returns aren't as easy as at a store and the return policy is inconsistent
> spend up to 2k per month on an apartment

Only if you're a relentless hunter. Otherwise it looks more like >2.5k CHF monthly. 400-500 CHF monthly on health insurance, 500 CHF monthly for random tickets, fees, fines, and other "disciplinary measures". Suddenly you find yourself being poor in Switzerland. Being poor among rich hurts multiplied.
wifi dongles aren't exactly bullet proof. For example if you use a cycling turbo trainer with a power meter, a macbook and an ANT+ (2.4ghz) dongle there's a good chance you've had to buy a 6 foot extender cable so get the dongle far enough away from the macbook because something about the macbook itself interferes with the signal. It's a known thing among home training cyclists.

Futel – Free public phone calls on old phone hardware
The widely accepted axiomatic basis for the natural numbers is the first order Peano Axioms. Very few children are capable of understanding how to prove 1+1=2 in this axiomatic system. In this system an axiom says that each element has a successor. 1 is called the successor of 0. 2 is called the successor of 1. So on and so forth. Now we need to define a binary operation called +. Now show that the successor of 0 plus the successor of 0 is the successor of the successor of 0.

How many children are capable of this level of abstract thinking?

People without training in statistics don’t understand how to properly design trials. I’m a mathematician and I don’t understand this since it is not something I’ve studied. I need to rely on the expert knowledge of others to tell what is and is not a good study design.

Macron, as so many French leaders before him, is in fact obsessed by transforming France into the US.

Sarkozy, his most alike predecessor, used to wear a t-shirt that said "NYPD" while jogging, as he was president of France; and later renamed his party "Les Républicains" as an hommage to US Republicans (!!?!)

This was 9 years ago, so right before Trump happened. At the time, 53% of party members thought it was "too American" but they accepted the change nonetheless.

Macron pushes through "liberal" reforms (liberal in Europe means the opposite as in the US: liberals here are free-market proponents) because he thinks it will make France great again, I guess.
Nice, that looks very interesting. I'll remember it in case I need to do some C++ work in the future again!

I developed a similar library for Nim, `unchained` [0]. Thanks to Nim's extensive macro system it's a pleasure to use (from a short look at the `au`'s docs my biased opinion is it beats `au` on usability :) ).

The development of techniques for re-enforced concrete masonry is what drove this style. very efficient building for mass housing.
Leaving aside the supposedly technical ineptitude of the French authorities (even though I think they're quite competent and that they full know what those apps do and how they work), cases like this one make me think that, going forward, one of the best strategies for "defeating" the powers that be will consist in avoiding the use of encrypted communications via special apps and the like and trying to blend in with how the general population, i.e. the normies, communicates.

Of course that the message will still need to be encrypted in a way, but that won't happen by using Telegram or Signal or WhatsApp or by encrypting your hard-drive using dedicated software, but the new "encryption" should work in a sort of "out in the open for anyone to see way", like in the famous E. A. Poe The Purloined Letter [1] short-story, with the stolen letter that was "hidden" in plain view for everyone to see.

Again, I realise that this new strategy isn't ideal, that it will most likely make it harder to keep constant the rate of encrypted communication that is now carried out using dedicated apps, but the reality on the ground is that by using Telegram or Signal or any other dedicated app that focuses on technical encryption one just manages to paint a target on his/her back.

> Does the lexicon of Albanian really owe as much to Latin as it does to its position within the Balkan Sprachbund?

Yes, definitely, because the extremely heavy Latin impact on the Albanian lexicon is not found in the other Balkan Sprachbund languages Serbian–Macedonian–Bulgarian–Greek.

Moreover, the Balkan Sprachbund is generally defined through shared morphological and syntactic features, not lexicon. And those features spread through the region up to centuries after the Latin > Albanian lexical influence – the Slavic languages in the Sprachbund only arrived in the mid-first-millennium AD.
I'm pretty center compared to many of my left friends, but I've anecdotally never heard nor seen anyone say "they shouldn't have privacy because they're far right" or anything close to that sentiment.
I don't think even employers know what it is anymore. The amount of posts for jobs I have seen where experience of 'agile and waterfall is desirable' is mentioned in the same breath. You think 'what sh!t show am I letting myself in for if the business doesn't know how they operate?'
> we happily put an emperor on the throne less than a decade later

to be fair, the emperor climbed on the throne pretty much on his own; I think he had support across broad parts of the population, but it's not as if he was elected (and he didn't even start as an emperor, that came a few years after his coup)
I haven't tried this but how do you get around the fact that it hallucinates functions and variables when doing it file by file? I haven't managed to make an app without error going this route. The only time it produces something working is when I keep it single-file (e.g. html, js and css together) or single-function.
I mean… the list of things is ridiculous: simply using VPN, having technical documentation? So any type of technical literacy…
It's amusing when people allow a technical argument to be used for offense but not for defense. All of law is a technical argument.

Interestingly, this story may predate the computer revolution - I am thinking about the anti-tank dogs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog

These were basically dogs strapped with bombs which were trained to run towards enemy tanks, where a contact detonator would cause the bomb to explode, killing the dog and hopefully causing damage to the enemy tank.

The analogy comes from stories about why the dogs failed in their main purpose - one story says that the dogs were trained on friendly tanks, not enemy tanks, so on the battlefield turned around and ran towards friendly tanks instead of the intended targets.

One could imagine this story was retold, and eventually re-interpreted as being as a result of an artificial neural network, rather than a biological one :-)
I used to work at a company that fully blocked WebSocket, I know the pain!

We don't provide a client socket library, we just expose an HTTPS endpoint that also supports WebSockets. So you can use something like socket.io to provide fallback options, reconnects, etc. Some customers don't even use WebSockets at all and just hit HTTP endpoints.
This is C++:

for (auto&& x: collection)
x.foo();

You say you have no idea what foo is.

This is C:

for (int i = 0; i < collection_size; i++)
foo(collection[i]);

Now you say that which foo is being called is very obvious...

... but [1]:

#define foo(x) x.foo(&x)

x.foo is a function pointer and someone has been implementing OO in C (far fetched? it is literally the title of the article). With C++ at least if I M-. on foo emacs will show me all possible targets (or directly take me to foo implementation if not polymorphic); With C, good luck teaching your IDE your custom flavor of OO [2].

So, no, C and C++ are more similar than you think. The biggest difference is the presence of overloading which, in the static dispatch case, makes resolving the actual function from the function name slightly harder in C++ without tool help. Overloading has little to do with OO, although it is a form of static polymorphism.

In the dynamic case they are equivalent (well except for the fact that you have to build the vtables by hand in C and the syntax is a bit awkward.

[1] yes, yes, arguments are not protected against multiple evaluation. Sue me.

[2] with emacs of course this is actually possible, just merely hard.
First they came for the Gilets Jaunes...

I know that that particular reply of mine doesn't help your particular case, but it was sickening to see how much of the supposed French people's liberties and citizens rights were broken back then and how most of the French intelligentsia was just cheering the government from the side.

"Just feel happy instead" does seem to work in certain contexts and frameworks [1]. For instance, if you become decoupled from the current agent, that is, you start paying attention that whatever you call you is just an observer of an implementation of an agent and the feeling of anger, hate, envy, and so on is the care of that particular agent, not an absolute, then you can just switch agents, having whatever feelings the previous agent cared about seem as insignificant as it can get.

In practice, being able to sustain the kind of attention required to catch hold of the underlying agent is strenuous, drugs [2] could maybe help, make it easier to attain the observer state, but its early beginnings.

The Art of Unix Programming had an outsized impact on my career. It laid out Unix as a sensible, simple, professional, and enjoyable way to approach computing, and chasing the hacker dream advanced my career as long as I kept that passion alive. I wouldn't really get along with esr as a person these days, but TAOUP gave me the audacity to start making money with Linux, and I'm grateful for that.
Calling it a coup is highly debatable and debated. It happened outside of the scope of what the 4th happened, and it happened because the 4th had broken down and was not working anymore.

It should be noted that some of the main people who called to view it as a coup were people from other parts of the political spectrum who had other ideas of how it should happen and who should end up in power, including Mitterand (who ended up president of the 5th in 1986). These people however were also for the end of the 4th.
What's Open Web Docs? / Help ensure a bright future for web platform docs
Likely part of an A/B testing where they test click rates. Everything on Google's result pages is tested, font size, wording, spacing because an improvement by 0.01% is already millions of extra profit. I used to work at the competition and we did the same, often multiple tests every day.

Obviously I used “right questions” not in the sense of saying a question has truth value and some of them have true as their truth value. Clearly I used “right question” in the sense of “insightful question”. That you couldn’t understand this indicates poor reading comprehension on your part.

Everyone appeals to authority in the sense you use this phrase because no one has the time to to argue out everything from first principles. In a discussion about why flat earthers are wrong I’d make an argument that shows they are wrong. In a discussion about misinformation and how easily duped people are in general I wouldn’t make such an argument since it isn’t pertinent.

The action of the Iliad covers a few days, but the siege of Troy is said to have lasted ten years. That matches up well with the Odyssey, which covers the last few days of another ten years. So I guess the question is whether the cancellation feels more like repeated shipwreck and stranding, or like being struck with edged weapons.
I recently installed a full-house solar and backup power solution at home. It cost a lot of money but the peace of mind I have now is priceless. My country's electrical grid is falling apart, on some days we have up to 10 hours of no electricity, and this year alone we've had at least a 2 hour power outage every day.

Bottom line, it's quite expensive, and surprisingly complex to plan and spec out. It's nearly impossible to advise on the questions you asked without more information.

My suggestion is find a local installer and work with them. This is not something you DIY and the experts know what's available and what works best in your location.

Bottom line:
- Powerwall is quite overpriced for what you actually get I believe.
- This lunar product is most definitely going to be overpriced for what you are going to get.
- Don't waste your money on any lead-acid based battery systems. Lithium tech has become cheap enough that even in my shitty 3rd world African country nobody is selling anything but Lithium any more. Longevity is so much better than lead-acid that it can't even be compared.

I'm not sure where exactly in Europe you are but have a look at Sunsynk's line of products. They manufacture and sell inverters and batteries and are Chinese/UK based. Their CEO/Figurehead is UK, so I would imagine they have reasonably good penetration in Europe by now.

>Which is worse chlamydia or syphilis?

In life you often have to choose the least worst option for you out of two bad ones if you want to survive. It's rare to have your cake and eat it too, especially when it comes to housing in desirable metro areas and you not being wealthy. Beggars can't be choosers.

Granted, nobody put a gun to your head and said you must live in Zurich, London, Dublin, Berlin, or any other city with a housing shortage, it's your own voluntary decision to do that, but doing so you must be mindful of the compromises and sacrifices such a choice requires.
I want to add to the callback vs coroutines and async/serial discussion that it all depends on how you treat errors. Are errors mere exceptions or do you want to handle errors in the control flow ?

For example turndeg(90), Move(10), PickupItem(), turndeg(180), Move(10) you treat errors as exceptions, if the robot fail to pickup the item, or if it ends up at the wrong place it's an exception.

Now if you put all these in try/catch, have the functions return error code (or 0 for success), or use callbacks, the code will be more "ugly" yes, but you then treat errors as "first class citizens", if the robot for example fail to pickup the item you want to try something else, maybe apply more vacum to the suction arm, or switch to a grip arm. And if the robot goes off course you want to make a course direction.

async/await, coroutines, futures, promises, do make the code "look nice", but that nice look comes from treating errors as exceptions.
I never got around to planning and reviewing my life as I meant to - but there is a “life wheel” I forget where I heard it from.

For context: dissolution of far-right groups in France under center-left government, or generally before Macron were rare since the 90s. The reasons :

- trying to kill the president (under a right-wing president, when right-wing didn't actually meant authoritarian),
- actually killing someone,
- terrorism (found bombs and shit).

Dissolution of right wing groups under macron:

- massacring gays around the pride parade (OK, that one is deserved),
- fighting,
- training,
- pretending/performative art (it was quite funny actually, I don't think it was on purpose but we laughed a lot)

----

Now, the reality about the 'left up in arms' having no problem with authoritarian government and calling the police:

A left-wing media was dissolved in Nantes for giving informations about when the next protestation will happen (basically). Also they explained how to transform a fire extinguisher into a paint bomb, which isn't nice, but I mean, they weren't militia at all.

'funny to see the left up in arms'...

Left-wing people in France called out macron authoritarian drift way before regular conservatives, way before that

I think the facts are a bit against you. Your idea seems pleasant at first glance, but fail to meet reality. I thought it was a new trend, but I read a bit recently about political theory, and one fascinating things was that some political ideologies are declined from example and experience, from material conditions, and from that is drafted an ideal. Other are declined from an idea, then try to explain why the reality doesn't work like that (it's often because of the francs-maçons or the jew, but sometimes it's internal traitors).

I will let the reader guess which ideology is which.
