Lol. So people in the 80s wouldn't find useful a pocket-sized device that you can watch TV on, listen to the radio, listen to music, take photos? The only thing 80s people wouldn't understand is creating content on the Internet. But even digital text content has an 80s equivalent: teletext.

I said it before and I’ll say it again. The killer app is home decoration.

Repaint your wall in a snap. Change the look of your rugs, your pictures, your wall art. Have fancy place mats for dinner, all for the cost of downloading some new skin virtually.

If you and your spouse cannot decide on a paint color, good news, you no longer have to! Customize it to each user and you both see exactly what you like.

If you rent and live in a white wall apartment, can’t put holes in walls for pictures, etc, then good news. Just decorate things virtually.

Prices will need to come down for VR headsets, and the headsets themselves will need to be wearable for 14 hours a day. So there is still a long way ahead as far as hardware capabilities go. However this software could be created today.
It can have a different input and appears to display things in three dimensions, and maybe someone will come up with a killer app. Currently though I just connect my macbook to it and use that as the input, I think that'll be enough once Apple slims the pro down a little.

There maybe some interesting new ways to display text, I'm surprised there aren't already more three dimensional visual apps created. The gucci thing is cool and some of the 3d aspects aren't that well done.
XML support is noticably sparse. Yaserde is there but support for schema to rust generation is lacking and what is there isn't in crates.io and the repos abandoned.

Apart from gaming (or perhaps niche exercise) there's been no killer app for found for VR/AR in the past 20+ years - Magic Leap has spent $Billions since 2010. It doesn't really matter how well Apple polish the interface and improve size and battery if there's no reason to use it.

I used to work in AR - and the pattern with users is nearly always the same: initial amazement at how cool it is but then eventual indifference.

I once was talking to somebody who was a brother in law staying on the couch sort of deal.

They were complaining that their battery life on their phone just got decimated recently and kept dying over and over. I believe I was helping to troubleshoot, so I had them turn on airplane mode, he flipped it and complaining of something else annoying happening and saying oh yeah my phone airplane mode doesn't work, I still get internet. I was totally baffled, it was all very weird to me.

A little bit of time later that person got busted as a part of a big local drug bust. I'm assuming that's how they tap phones.

Pax-Sino will not be a thing.

Pax-Americana existed because of two qualities that America has, but China does not.

1) America has a very unique interest in the foreign affairs of others. So much so that America is "hated" for it, and America has built a global navy to enforce its interests. China, both historically and currently, is hands off to the affairs of others if they do not represent a direct Chinese interest.

2) Foreign entities joined in on Pax-Americanan economic system (capitalism) because it made them rich as well, just not as rich as America. China themselves joined in and benefited. However, there is no part of the Chinese economic system that is interested in making others rich. They take an opposing approach, they give others the tools to keep power (through surveillance). (America gives countries the power to keep power as well through military sales, but the major factor is economic, not military).

My reference point is Rust because I've worked on or in Rust for most of the past decade, but I think the relevance of Rust for programming language design more broadly is that it is the most well-typed widely deployed imperative programming language. In this way it has an advantage over Lisp or Haskell if you're trying to think about how we might statically analyze imperative programs, which is what I'm personally most interested in.
Ask HN: Outstanding Programmers
After reading today's post "Curl is just the hobby," I stumbled upon Ludvig Strigeus while researching Daniel Stenberg (connection: both have won the Polhem Prize). I'm somewhat astonished by his life's work so far. Here are some of his key creations:

μTorrent - a small footprint BitTorrent client for Microsoft Windows and OS X
ScummVM - an interpreter for adventure game engines, notably LucasArts's SCUMM
OpenTTD - a reverse-engineered game engine of Transport Tycoon, which led to numerous ports and improvements over the original
Ports of Dr. Mario and Kwirk for the TI-89 calculator
"The Idiot" - a card game for Windows
WebWorks - a text HTML editor
Spotify - a commercial music streaming service
Spotiamp - a lightweight Spotify Premium client for Windows, created as a tribute to Winamp
TunSafe - a VPN client for Windows using the WireGuard protocol

It's clear that some programmers have far-above-average productivity and a keen sense for solutions that the world still needs. Having success with one program might be luck or coincidence, but there seems to be a system to this series of successes. Any of the above programs could easily become the life's work for many developers.

What's the secret?
Everyone was afraid that VR/AR might become the next big platform, and they'd be a half decade behind on development and patents.

Every other company's investment in headsets was a hedge during ZIRP. The downside was basically what has happened. Landfill the headsets and park the patents. The upside would have been, being at the front of the next computing platform. The headsets were lottery tickets.

I think there is also a gotcha there as you get a ratio in Common Lisp and not a floating point number.

> 1 divided by 2 is 1/2 and its type is RATIO

I don't think there is a simple solution. Numbers are harder than they seem and you just need to know what happens in the particular language you are programming in.

Read everything Atul Gawande has written. The following article, "Why Doctors Hate Their Computers", would be a particularly good place to start:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/11/12/why-doctors-ha...

It illustrates a hugely significant problem you will face: decisions about what processes to follow and what software to use are made by administrators and not front-line doctors or nurses.

If you ask front-line doctors and nurses their biggest pain point, I imagine a common answer will be "our administrators are morons". (I have once heard this expressed by a nurse friend, with breathtaking vitriol.) Unfortunately that is not something you can write software to help with.

FWIW this happens even with pickup. I used to use their 7.99 pizzas a lot when money was short.

Their app tells you when the pizza is ready, about 30% of the time the pizza was not ready when their app said it was. This means the workers were gaming their timing system with fake pizzas.

Often times I'd be sitting in their pickup area for 20 minutes after the pizza was supposed to be done.

Unsurprising outcome.

I got a chance to try one at a former coworker’s house. It’s an impressive piece of tech; the immersive video was amazing, felt orders of magnitude more impactful than the SD->HD leap. I also found the eye tracking and gesture based UI to be extremely intuitive.

If I were flying for work every week, this would be a killer product. Working from the plane or hotel with multiple high quality displays would be infinitely better than a laptop screen.

You're engaging in straw man.

Your original post took umbrage with the "downplaying" of the the intellectual/creative capacity of China compared to the West. You also implied that that has led to the current state of affairs. No one said that China was less than the West. It is however fact China has benefited from the stealing of secrets from the West (nuclear technology, stealth tech from the F-117, stealth tech from Boeing, and in this case, chip designs from TSMC). This is not a trope, it is fact.

the issue I got was:

1) I (AWS CloudFront) supply ETag and If-None-Match header; I can see that header in responses.

2) browsers sometimes do respect that (once) I see 304 in responses, but 99% of the time they don't include ETag/If-None-Match in requests and thus I never get 304 responses (albeit AWS CloudFront, resource, data — nothing changed) and instead they perform some other caching and reload whole resource again with TTL that does not seem to come from my headers, totally disregarding ETags/If-None-Match logic.

for videos it is even worse. unless you set `preload=none` in html, Safari, Firefox, Chrome will have all different policies trying to preload all videos on screen ignoring lazyload html tags. worse of all, caching does not work well, and videos will be attempted to be loaded almost every time and ETags/If-None-Match totally ignored.
