Tried my hand at a Viture One for two weeks, but the diopters did not work with my specific vision, perhaps I'll give the new XA2 a shot now that they are more available in the EU.

Concerning your question, it's very different. While VR content can be cast both over USB or wireless, for flat-screen casting, wireless is the preferred and most comprehensively supported way, which, whilst tether-free, can be less seamless when out-and-about than just plugging in a cable. Note that wireless does not require a local WiFi router or internet connection but can also be handeled directly from a host device, still, less reliable than a plain cable carrying video signal. Furthermore, as the Quest has its own full on operating system based on Android, rather than receiving an HDMI signal like the Viture or XA, there is an additional point of complexity to consider, and it looks a lot less inconspicuous than the XA. Lastly, tracking via the cameras is a great advantage in general use, though a very inclosed, darkish space such as an aeroplane may push the small sensors to their limit and yes, battery life can be a limit as well, though I do hot-swap BoboVR battery at the back of my skull for that. Still not as convenient as just using your phones power and having that charged.

Quest does not require an controller at this point, hand tracking is currently my prefered way of navigating the system day-to-day.

Overall, I'd agree, on an airplane I'd consider the Quest to be of marginal usability.
So, teams??

Basically industry standard
Hi guys, just tried this as an intermediate Chinese learner. Really love it overall. I have an IRL tutor as well and it's very interesting to compare. Happy to give feedback offline but high-level so far:
1. Adding pinyin for Chinese words when clicking would be great, and adding 'word' rather than character-only clickable dictionary, e.g. from Pleco. That's a Chinese specific issue
2. Harder, but when I say something wrong, pause, and re-state, if it could fix my answer with what I said and delete the wrong bit that would be insanely cool. As that's what a teacher hears, the self-correcting is a good sign

There is a whole subject called Garbology.

> this is just a polite way to say: "NEVER garbage collect unless we are potentially causing the OS to swap pages."

It's not straightforward to guess where this threshold is because it depends on the behavior of other applications. The OS could already be swapping before your process even started.

I would never rely on a company to allow me to work from home out of the kindness of their heart. I've been consulting for 12 years now and working remotely the whole time. I think I've only ever had to come to the office a handful of times during the past 12 years and it was because a manager wanted to take me out to lunch.
What parts of this did you find complicated? I thought that placing a plaintext file in a folder and moving it to another folder when it's done is pretty simple, but if you find Jira simpler, that's amazing!
Not for the foreseeable future.

Ubicloud runs on bare metal providers and they don't lease Mac hardware. Technically, we could run MacOS VMs on arm64. However, our interpretation of Apple's End User License Agreement (EULA) tells us that we can't do this.

This repo has some good references on the topic: https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM?tab=readme-ov-file#is-this...
Congrats on shipping your idea and even having a polished README. I'd contest the "ridiculously simple" though.

I fully understand how task management seems to be such a personal subject that every developer wants to re-invent it for themselves, but after going through multiple iterations over the years I landed on the included Notes.app, which is available on all my devices and has bulletproof sync and I will never have to install, update or maintain it.
I read an advice column in the Washington Post a couple weeks ago [1] in which the person writing in was asking for advice about implementing RTO mandates. They work for a non-profit and found it hard to manage people remotely. Their complaints were:

> 1. They have daily check-in meetings with everyone on the team to make up for the lack of impromptu chats in the office

> 2. Collaboration is harder over email than in-person. As an example, they have to produce reports for stakeholders regularly, which requires input from several people. They sync their work by frequently emailing each other changes to the document

> 3. Socializing with coworkers is more difficult, which results in less social capital for people to advance their careers with

For each point, the author pointed out that there are simple technological and management solutions for each:

> 1. Stop doing daily check-ins and trust your reports to do their jobs on their own time table. You didn't do daily check-ins in the office, so don't do them now

> 2. Stop using email. It's the worst format of online communication. Slack, MS Teams, etc. have been around for a while. Use them and the features available to you to collaborate. Additionally, use document editing software like MS Word or Google Docs to edit the same document within a cloud account simultaneously instead of sending files to each other. This tech has existed for sooooo long that it should be considered a bit of an embarrassment if a manager in 2024 doesn't know about it yet

> 3. Work socialization must become intentional, and opportunities for advancement should be based off of merit and output instead of personal relationships

But it seems pretty clear that companies which mandate RTO are simply not equipped, technologically or intellectually, to run such an organization. It's not that remote work is inherently less productive, it's that managers are unable or unwilling to adapt their processes and communication to make it work.

Final note: it seems like another big problem with managers is they find they have little work to do if they are not monitoring people all the time and dragging them into unnecessary meetings. I think they feel threatened by the fact that their jobs are being automated away by software

Basically, all ru. TLD became failing for all dns resolvers that use DNSSEC (which is the most of them)

As user, I am unable to visit any pages on .ru domains, as their IP would not resolve.

Reason is highly likely mistake (human side) in signing procedure, not something time- or hack- related.

Someone is most likely CC for TLD RU, aka АНО КЦНДСИ, official registry of .ru TLD.
Guess, are we talking about capitalism as some strict academic definition? or the gestalt in the minds of the right?

Think most people do include markets and competition as core to capitalism.

But, other core features are, private ownership, and that labor doesn't own the production.

And not spelled out, but it does often lead to rent extraction.

• competition, through firms’ freedom to enter and exit markets, maximizes social welfare, that is, the joint welfare of both producers and consumers;

• a market mechanism that determines prices in a decentralized manner through interactions between buyers and sellers—prices, in return, allocate resources, which naturally seek the highest reward, not only for goods and services but for wages as well;
The badly signed records are still there in various provider's DNS caches as of now. 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 in the Philippines are still affected - cannot resolve .ru domains.

I don't buy that explaination. Several of us are getting the same sort of intrusive shock content; are we all using the same VPN endpoint? Doubtlessly not. Furthermore, I've seen no other kinds of videos that would suggest recommendations bleeding through from other viewers; particularly youtube never suggests any sports content to me. Sports are extremely popular so if recommendations bleed through IPs, I should be getting lots of sports content. I get none, youtube's suggestions are almost perfectly tailored to me with the sole exception of these occasional shock videos.
Except many more of us get to enjoy that benefit now. Before Covid where I was it was unheard of to work remotely for more than one day a week.

Never heard about Dealogic so I just Googled -- the title of the click says:

Oh well, I probably don't need to dig deeper to know what it does then.
I was very productive in the office and now I'm slacking off every day WFH, so no.
I think there is something to this. We have a long term lease for what is now an empty floor at 799 Market in SF and our landlord will not let us buy our way out of the lease, even at 100% of remaining rent. There are about 120 seats on our floor and about 1000 in the building. I’ve heard only sixty people use the building in a given day. So the usage rate is much much lower than the occupancy rate, i.e. we count as occupants even with zero usage.
> The only running CDC 6000 series machine has been restored by Living Computers: Museum + Labs.

Wonder what's become of it, now that the Paul Allen foundation deemed the LCM a needless expense and who knows what happened to all the donations.

Seriously, who knows what happened to all the donations? A lot of folks in tech reached in their proverbial closets for pieces of history, worked on these restorations, etc, presumably with the expectation that work would be preserved for more than a few years via this institution endowed by a vast fortune.

I always wanted to visit the LCM and it's like feeling the knife twist again every time I see a line about "this extremely cool thing from the history of computers was restored and you can see it yourself at - oh, that's the one in Seattle isn't it."

There's a running CDC6000 somewhere in the USA, or at least there was. Is it still in Seattle? Is it still in the museum building? Does it still run? Is anyone responsible for it? Has anyone turned it on and felt the hum since 2020?
>does anyone really find RTO surprising?

I see RTO for all in the same light as when IBM required all their technical staff to wear full suits all day, even the ones crawling under desks. It's a relic of the past that will eventually die and everyone will be better for it.
Did the book have no answer? Status (in drug dealers' circles, the gangster/thug is higher status than a fast food job), more independent lifestyle hours (no 9-5), and seeing a way to move up (a la become Scarface) that culture doesn't portray from a "dead end" McD's job.
Unfortunately they make all the decisions so the first thing they replace with AI is going to be the workers.
Right, there we go. Breaking these contracts is expensive I imagine.
Couple of thoughts. (1) To me, immigration can indeed fill the gap. An endless supply of people wish to leave poorer , or hotter (which is a problem with climate change) countries, for richer ones. This will hurt the poorer countries that end up with an ageing population. OTOH if those poorer countries are becoming too hot to live in, that's a good move for people , although awful for those left behind. (2) Cost of raising kids - in my experience the richer people are the more they seem to worry. Maybe those of us raised on less are simply used to being creative about getting by on less, and unfazed by the prospect. To use your 2 examples- music lessons can be had in many ways, often cheap/almost free such as joining a community music group where people will pass on skills. Disneyland - hardly essential, or any form of hardship for a child to miss out on that, IMHO. There are many ways to have a meaningful life, get plenty of education etc, without spending a fortune. While housing has gone up a lot, my parents' generation will say that in the past there were housing booms too, followed by super high interest rates, and everything else used to take relatively more of income, including food and clothes. A difference then was public transport was better in many ways and cheaper, so a car not as essential. I think the main difference now is peoples' expectations. Since the planet can't sustain ever-increasing consumption habits, probably its a good thing people are having less kids.
"By “merit” I don’t mean cosmic merit — moral deservingness, a judgment by the almighty at the gates of heaven. I mean the traits that enable a student to profit from an elite university education, including cognitive aptitude, conscientiousness, and a thirst for knowledge."

The premise sounds nice however I'd gander that you'd likely end up with a similar results as is the case now, a trend towards the connected and interested wealthy making up the student body of Harvard and other elite colleges.

This is due to people having money being able to afford good educational programs for their children at the start while those without significant affluent backgrounds will have significantly less access to quality educational resources before they reach college age.

On paper meritocracy sounds reasonably fair but in practice I believe we'll find it to be otherwise.
Apple TV already exists as a set-top box.

And even something similar embedded in some TVs.

What I could see Apple doing is some kind of "Made for Apple TV" feature that combines eArc, HDMI, etc, and makes the TV turn into a "dumb TV" for the Apple TV when it is connected and detected.
Funding pension and institutional investment on a pyramid scheme of infinite growth is definitely the problem.

But this isn't something that can be gradually fixed. Capitalism —at least this version of it— has to go.
thank you, that solved it for me. I opened in an incognito tab in chrome.

That doesn't do much to protect you against a website storing government mandated passport information. The only protection there would be if authorities stop demanding that everyone takes copies of personal IDs.
Yes. Most of the C&Ds I've received have been mundane. My favorite one was over a set of game rules that I wrote that were very vaguely similar to a board game that was on the market.

That one was so ridiculous that I didn't consult my attorney at all about it. I just told the company to sue me. I never heard from them again.
I'm wrong. Thanks for the correction.
Almost any value is worth it. On your death bed you will never say I'm glad I spent those years of my life commuting for Amazon instead of everything else I could have been doing.
Of course, using children for your fiscal benefit while freeing yourself of the maternal responsibility is reserved for those child-free riding off of social security paid for thanks to parents raising productive children.

You see it's only moral to use other children as fiscal cattle, not your own!

Breach is not the word I would use here.
It can also be done locally with a fixed base station.
Can others chime in? To what extent is the above this a fair summary?

I would hope there have been some code reorganizations and maybe even rewrites? Perhaps as the underlying theory advances? Perhaps as the ecosystem of tools borrows from each other?

But I don’t know the state of these solvers. In many ways, the above narrative wouldn’t surprise me. I can be rather harsh (but justifiably so I feel) when evaluating scientific tooling.
I worked at one national lab with a “prestigious” reputation that nonetheless seemed to be incapable of blending competent software architecture with its domain area. I’m not saying any ideal solution was reachable; the problem arguably had to do with an overzealous scope combined with budgetary limits and cultural disconnects. Many good people working with a flawed plan seems to me.
No, that would be the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
First of all, we don't really care, do we?

Second, it's not just identify and authenticity.

There are data breaches that leak a lot more information than just an identity. Sometimes the mere fact that your identity is in a breach is problematic already.
Sure, I know that the writer is making a mistake, and I mentally can replace every 'silicon' with 'silicone'.

I also know that it would take approximately 10 seconds to look up the definition of the word (if they often get it wrong) and that if they aren't willing to spend 10 seconds to use the correct word, they are probably taking other shortcuts (in reasoning or research). This fact makes me less likely to accept their reporting and conclusions without corroborating evidence, because I trust them less.

Which is just saying what I said in my initial comment in a less succinct way.
I don’t get it. Isn’t remote a godsend for so many companies? Especially in our industry where half the orgs don’t even make any money. They get to save on rent, salaries. What am I missing here?!
Ethernet over HDMI exists, luckily it hasn't taken off ...
The docs still say the Elastic license is used but looking at https://github.com/ubicloud/ubicloud/blob/main/LICENSE it looks like the project might have switched to GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 in the last day.
> 2. Stop using email. It's the worst format of online communication. Slack, MS Teams, etc.

The difficulty with this, is that work can spiral quickly into just spending the whole day responding to chat (slack/teams/etc) and no one ever gets any actual work done.
It definitely does. The only thing that can prevent me from slacking off is knowing my screen is visible to other people.
Feels like there is another one of these every week.
You'll lose all the income of that day or week. Farmer will lose months of income.
The US has dropped them 25% over the same time period, so Sweden has done 25 percentage points better. That's less than a 1% compounded drop for those 35 years, and that's assuming that all of the delta was attributable to carbon taxes. That's not a very convincing case.
Yeah, I think major Russian providers just flushed caches by hand, as rollout was by-region, which is not smooth nor simultaneous

EDIT: rollout in some very large telecom here is still in progress, by region.
I understand the snark, but it is really unhelpful. I guarantee that your company would ceases to function without these roles.
We've been using Ubicloud builders for our Rust project [0] for several months, and it's worked very well. We've seen CI times go from 10-15 minutes to 6-7, and our bill has gone from $300/month to $30.

One counter-intuitive thing we found is that it's slow to save and restore caches, but the machines have good CPU, so for us it's been faster to disable cache entirely and just redo everything on each build.

You are comparing time series data when the statement was obviously meant about cross sectional data.
This really is the elephant in the room that no one wants to admit to or address. It’s not merely about economics.

There have been planned economies in various degrees that have subsidized housing, willed industries into existence, that have not done better.

The real issue is that none of our societies have brought certain values into the modern world, particularly values like family and loyalty. And because we have nuclear families now, the neuroses of the parents get focused on the 1-2 children that they tend to have.
If you want to avoid doing the maths I think you can draw the problem out (assuming the world is a flat piece of paper and the source is located on the same piece of paper with you)

From the timings given you can work out the distance from location B and C to the wavefront when it hits point A (4 x 330 and 6 x 330).
If you then draw a circle centered at point B with radius 1320m, and a circle centered C with radius 1980m, then there is only one circle you can draw that intersects point A, and is tangent with the circles drawn at B and C. The center of that circle is the source (with an appropriate radius of error for timing measurement and distance measurement between A, B, and C)

If I were to start up a company, I would allocate money for 2 things:

1. Employees to build their home office (get monitors, good chair, desk, etc.)

2. Employees to buy or build their own machine (buy a laptop, build a PC, etc.)
And to be fair to Apple, on those sunsetted products, they supported them quite well during the sunset and even after, especially the Xserve.
There was a massive portable analog audio player market before MP3 players came along. So Apple could improve on the attempts to offer a digital audio alternative. And they did. This supports what I wrote about the purpose of Apple Vision Pro. There is none. VR has forever been a solution looking for a problem.
If they checked the numbers and it showed that they’d be shouting from the rooftops, not trying to prevent anyone from discussing it.
These old materials sciences classes are leading me astray! Fatigue, embrittlement, they must be solved problems by now.
i agree with the sentiment of your comment, but the pervasive RTO narrative from c-levels is not about restoring their employees' collective, holistic health. rather, it's couched in a narrative of productivity and community, the former being what i believe was being countered in the comment.

there's also the push/pull of the health benefits and disadvantages of commutes and other external factors that go into office-based dynamics. additionally, as i've mentioned in another comment on a similar thread, RTO mandates are not accompanied by corporate commitments to restore the cultures and environments that were present in the pre-remote migration which only intensifies the skepticism and recalcitrance of the workers.

edit: changed "ramps up" to "intensifies"

In a vacuum, yes. In practice, a ton of people I know spent all that extra time commuting which is probably worse for most people than putting some extra work in.
Maybe authenticity was not the right choice of works. I meant to say the authentic thing that is the company's business logic. IE the point of the website/application or the product is the data. Which for programmers that should also be a common thread.which is why its good to really define your data model first if you can.
