GP was right. I was pretty sure your interpretation is correct, but I've seen enough things over the years that I was curious if there were any more details about actual bricking.
You can read her book from ~2014 where she describes the same arguments that she also does on her channel, but in much more depth. She didn't make videos back then.
She also has great talks at universities and discussion panels.
Interesting topic even if I have problem on the exactly different side of the spectrum and I usually do not know when to shut up. With the time I just learned that it is easier to ask people about their life and interests and they usually just keep talking, talking and talking happy that someone is listening.

Still problem is the same, I am bit lonely and do not have anyone to talk about stuff I am interested in and I do not know how to start polite conversation.

Because as article says, essentially everyone likes to talk about themselves, not listening about other people interests.
From the table of contents this looks like a book sponsored by and written to promote GreenSock. Which would be fine if the title was not misleading. Apparently SMIL is mentioned only in one chapter as "not suggested" solution.
If I want to have even a vague idea about what’s going on in my town it’s pretty much Facebook or a neighbor who is more plugged in than I am. Also it’s the only web presence a lot of small local businesses have.

I was mainly referring to the levels of complexity that keep piling up in the front-end world. The main reason, I wrote this is because I spent a day debugging and trying to understand one of the newer caching-by-default behaviours introduced by Next 15 in attempts to solve previous caching behaviours mistakes they made.

But in my post I was referring to the overall state of the front-end tools right now and the frustration that comes with it. From one side it's the best time to build things and see how far we've come. On the other hand it can feel like the unnecessary complexity of our tools only increases rather than making things simpler, I was interested to hear some ideas of where we might end up with all this and how soon
I did this with nreal air glasses (now xreal air), specifically for coding. Most uses cases for these type of glasses is around media consumption, so I was taking a bit of a leap when doing it for coding/heavy text usage.

There are two modes. One is fixed so that the virtual monitor stays in one spot on the lenses. The single virtual monitor stays directly in front of you. The other is floating, which basically keeps the virtual monitor in one spot and you can turn your head to look away. This mode also lets you set up 3 virtual monitors side by side so you can turn to look at them. It uses head tracking to basically shift the image in the opposite direction you turn your head.

In both cases, the screen does move, and this is super relevant when looking at text and down at status bars. The fixed one is better because it moves relative to your head, but both cases have some amount of jitter. I found the best case coding scenario is the fixed monitor (no head tracking), and being in a seat wth head rest and you can press your head back into it. This minimizes your head movement, which minimizes how much the text moves about. The downside is that we're used to looking up and down at the screen, so you want to set the monitor at a proper distance so you can look up and down with just your eyes. You really want to shrink the monitor to a size close to that of a laptop.

I ultimately ended up not liking the experience very much. No matter what, you're gonna end up with some amount of text movement. There is also a bit of light saturation bleed through (old CRT style). Putting the blackout blinders on helps a lot, but the projected nature remains an issue. Essentially only usable long term in a recliner or a car seat with headrest. Unlike the author, I am using a work provided laptop and I have that with me anyways. There was coolness to leaving the laptop in my backpack and just bringing the glasses up via wire - but to actually do anything, I need a keyboard. Which means taking along a Lenovo's thinkpoint trackpad keyboard (really great backpack keyboard); or pulling out the laptop.

The newer ones, like Xreal One from the article might be a better experience. A coworker had the air 2 pros and used them for travel. He said he didn't really notice the things I did, so maybe it was a improved experience even with that version. But he mostly worked in office documents and only occasional terminal work. When traveling and using the glasses, it was almost all "office docs", and only for short periods of time. For me - I am going to wait and be a slow adopter to move to a new version.
> The parent comment even included HPPA (PA-RISC) which almost makes me think they’re into either retro computing or they have some arbitrary completionist goal of covering all platforms.

Yes, retro-computing is a thing. Wouldn't it be nice to have Rust support on these platforms as well?
> I will check out your courses to see if I can learn something from you.

Thanks. Don't hesitate to reach out and give feedback. If you're into web, you might find my newer (opinionated) resource helpful: https://web-apps-in-lisp.github.io/

> Listen, I like Lisp. But Lisp has this weird effect where people, I think in an effort to boost the community, want to present every tool as a viable answer to their problems, no matter how unfinished or difficult to use.

I see. On social media comments, that's kinda true: I'm so used to hear "there is no CL editor besides Emacs" (which is literally plain false and has been for years, even if you exclude VSCode), and other timeless FUD. Articles or pages on community resources (Cookbook) should be better measured.

> listing every editor under the sun.

there's an Eclipse plugin (simple), a Geany one (simple), a Sublime one (using Slynk, can be decent?), Allegro (proprietary, tried the web version without color highlighting, surprising), Portacle and plain-common-lisp are easy to install Emacs + CL + Quicklisp bundles…

some would add CLOG as a CL editor.

BTW the Intellij plugin is also based on Slime. Not a great development activity though. But a revolution for the Lisp world if you think about it. Enough to make me want mention it twice or thrice on HN.

> tried them extensively

emphasis on "extensively", so no. SLIMA for Atom/Pulsar was decent.

> ECL… slower…

true and for this I've been measured, but looking at how vend is doing would be very interesting, as it ships a very small binary, based on libecl.
I suppose Java didn't offer too many alternatives to checking the OS version the standard way, but I really have a hard time imagining MS bending over backwards to support that approach on that platform. There wasn't even a need to check for the "windows 9", the code was already checking for a Windows platform and would have worked the same without it. Avoiding confusion in the minds of the end users is still the most plausible explanation to me.

Why is US ATSC 3.0 so bad? It is nearly a decade since it was South Korea have it deployed and operational. The standard itself is no longer "next gen". Brazil's TV 3.0, also uses ATSC 3.0 is so much better in every aspect.

Even if someone mandate it as requirement for TV sold next year all the tech inside are at least 10 years old ( HEVC ? ) . Not to mention the roll out time. Do Americans only watch Cables and Netflix? And not Free to Air TV? Which is what I belief what most of the worst still do to a larger extend other than Internet streaming.

They might as well look into the standards before putting a mandate into it.
In the US - sure. The rest of the world -lol, no

> Consumers could always make this decision for themselves and pick domestic over foreign.

In a free market, consumers _do_ decide for themselves. It is simply so, that price is the primary factor for many consumers. Especially in a society where living paycheck to paycheck is normal - but really in any society.
I am. But it's the same for everything. I don't live in a place I can install a car charger. It would be that overhead increase for every time I charged. It would actually be worse if it's not a once in a lifetime (so far) road trip because at least those times I wanted to be stopped for a bit. I'd imagine the times I'm rushing to work and have to stop for gas would get a lot worse with a long charge time.

>It's a little risky.

Everything in life involves risks. And there are cultural differences in attitude to risk. But some of these risks are quite unnecessary.

Also, I would consider making your own fuel (without sufficient expertise), as more than 'a little risky'. Especially if they move on to bigger rockets.
It’s not entirely clear whether the author is describing a single or multiplayer game.

Among the errors in the multiplayer case is the lack of score attribution which isn’t a bug with channels as much as it’s using an int channel when you needed a struct channel.

If I had to choose either a premium domain name or the full court press of SEO and SMO I'd pick the later. Consider the case of steam.com

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/73fshf/could_valve_b...

Steam has been at "steampowered.com" which is a 2nd rate domain name in comparison since the beginning. I'm sure they'd like to have steam.com but they've connected well with customers and game publishers without it -- they've done all the other work it takes to make their service a household name.
I wouldn't trust anyone saying that a Roku "runs great" in any fashion. This is the slowest piece of sh* hardware I ever had the displeasure to use, the waiting times when switching apps are insane.

Geo Is the New Gold Rush
What's interesting is nearly all words in language are on an irreversible trajectory towards abstract meaninglessness. Take your own use of the word "project" for example. Long ago, it meant "to throw or thrust" an object. Of course, today its meaning has expanded so far beyond that original meaning. That is what is happening to the word "beautiful", but the only difference is that it's happening during your lifetime, instead of long before it. You probably didn't even think about your "misuse" of the word "project" because the truth is it no longer means what it used to mean.

Perhaps 500 years from now "beautiful" (or whatever it has morphed into) will simply have a meaning similar to "pleasant".

Thank you for your detailed insights. I was on the fence, now I think I’ll wait.
You can do this! The XReal Airs will take a signal certainly from Samsung smartphones and a few others. I'm expecting wider compatibility from the One line but we'll see how that shakes out.

The fly in the ointment is battery life. Given only a single USB-C port on the phone and wanting to avoid having to find a hub with Display Port going one way and power the other, the glasses have to get powered from the phone itself.

Also worth pointing out that XReal themselves make a phonelike device for exactly this use case. No idea how good it is though.
People karma-farm here for no obvious commercial benefit. I'm sure the activity would be greatly reduced, but not eliminated, with a lack of commercial incentives.
I'd like to refute the 'channels are slow' part of this article.

If you run a microbenchmark which seems like what has been done, then channels look slow.

If you try the contention with thousands of goroutines on a high core count machine, there is a significant inflection point where channels start outperforming sync.Mutex

The reason is that sync.Mutex, if left to wait long enough will enter a slow code path and if memory serves, will call out to a kernel futex. The channel will not do this because the mutex that a channel is built with is exists in the go runtime - that's the special sauce the author is complaining doesn't exist but didn't try hard enough to seek it out.

Anecdotally, we have ~2m lines of Go and use channels extensively in a message passing style. We do not use channels to increment a shared number, because that's ridiculous and the author is disingenuous in their contrived example. No serious Go shop is using a channel for that.

That's what I thought too. And WordStar and WordPerfect predated this character set by a couple of years, and then MultiMate and Word after.

But googling screenshots of all of them, I can't find any use of this character in their rulers. It's all dots, numbers, and bracket symbols.

So I think the end of the article is right -- it's a delta triangle that, for various reasons, got corrupted into that shape:

How do they get help with those services currently? At present they operate during the same hours those people are working in, shifting the hours makes no difference to them. So this plan changes nothing for them, but is beneficial for everyone else. I welcome suggestions on how to improve it for cusomer support reps too.

Reddit is incredibly echo-chamber-y for me, the voting and karma system optimizes for the wrong type of content I feel. I've tried to engage with a few niche-interest subreddits (homebrewing, electronics, musical instruments) over the years and all of them left me generally dissapointed.

My pet theory is that someone who claims reddit is a great place for niche hobbies were never part of an old-school forum with truly passionate and engaging members.

The last 2-3 years this issue just became worse and worse.

Reddit is fantastic for memes though. There are some hilarious subreddits out there. But I rarely engage, just consume.

Brazil Set to Redefine Broadcasting with TV 3.0
I can sympathize, being approximately that age myself. I find myself struggling with simple shell one-liners, going to the AI as a crutch, suddenly remembering “obviously, yes, this is the way” and then getting frustrated at myself thinking “30 years ago, I would have had this whole thing done by now.”

Is my angst misplaced? Maybe. Does it affect everyone my age? Of course not. Would my 20 something self have done any better? Probably not.

But the feels are real.

> This is where sharing the CPU and GPU side struct declaration is helpful

Indeed, but sharing code between CPU and shaders is not the only way to solve the problem. I wrote a simple design-time tool which loads compiled shaders with shader reflection API, and generates a source file with C++ header (or for other projects C# structures) with these constant buffers. At least with D3D11, compiled shaders have sufficient type and memory layout info to generate these structures, matching memory layout by generating padding fields when necessary.

> not sure how about d3d land

Pretty sure D3D11 doesn’t have an equivalent of that Vulkan extension. Not sure about D3D12 though, only used the 12 briefly.

> I've been using custom vertex fetch with buffer device address in my projects

In my projects, I sometimes use a lot of non-trivial input layout features. Sometimes I need multiple vertex buffers, e.g. to generate normals on GPU with a compute shader. Sometimes I need instancing. Often I need FP16 or SNORM/UNORM vertex attributes, like RG16_UNORM for octahedron-encoded normals.

I went down to the local hardware store and bought a laminted bamboo broomstick.

Less than an hour shaping with a plane and a knife used as a scraper I had a pretty good longbow.

I was answering with the purposes of flight-taxis in mind. I doubt that they will fly in high altitude and deem it quite likely that they might want to pass uncontrolled airspace at some point.
And if you're flying in uncontrolled airspace you just can't count on the presence of it. In fact, missing transponders are an occasional source of accidents in these spaces. There are lots of gliding enthusiasts that aren't equipped.

P.S.: Commercial planes (esp. big ones) should have hardly any contact points with flying taxis.
