Have you used the glasses at all? I for one prefer taking pictures with the Meta glasses when traveling. Taking a phone out of your pocket, launching an app, holding the phone in front of you until you align the object in focus and then tap

I left this scene many years ago. The article brought back memories and curiosity. What does today's scene look like?

Not sure if sarcasm, but it's not true. For example, high performance software is still built the 80s way.

Not really. We would have to downsize our life. I'll have to explain it to the wife: "well, you see, we cant live in this house anymore because AI in Notepad was just too much". I'll dial up my ethical and moral stance o

Your solution for us to all agree to do the same thing is not realistic for the same reason that recycling doesn't really work, why we have a myriad of programming languages and similar but incompatible hardware, etc. There is always s

That's why we have text editors, markdown viewers, image viewers, etc. You were never able to "click a link" in Notepad in the past. Mixing responsibilities brings with it lots of baggage, security vulnerabilities being one o

You were homeless and didn't have a choice, so now obviously you're qualified to give assurances that essentially, "it is unlikely that your family will starve", right? /s And if you're wrong, and shit hits the

Fellow D fan - high five! This is seriously impressive for a 17 year old! I'll note a few things: 1. 'fast' without benchmarks is just marketing speak. I keep seing "fast", "super fast" on the GitHub page

I've been using vim for 20 years as well, for everything other than Java code. I type my .vimrc by hand on each new machine to set a half dozen options. Of the intermediate features, I use tabs and, more recently, split windows. My fav

I think a "Just A Browser" approach would be better for people like me, who don't really want to patch configuration files for their existing browsers - sounds messy. I would however download a new browser that promises to no

This is false. From Wikipedia: "End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a method of implementing a secure communication system where only the sender and intended recipient can read the messages." Both ends do not need to be under your con

I personally found the text hard to read (both because of the typeface and the small size), the animations distracting during scrolling (while I'm trying to skim the content), and the background colors too dark for dark text on them wi

I speak Russian and some Bulgarian as third/forth languages, and while I agree that Russian is more difficult, I wouldn't say Bulgarian is "extremely easy" in comparison. It's maybe ~20% easier at best.

Several of my colleagues were laid off. We all worked on the same project. I reviewed their code and was in meetings with them daily, so I know what their performance was like. They were absolutely not poor performers and it was ridiculous

I like the vulnerability displayed by the author. I'll share a moment myself: A few years ago I was the TL on a FAANG Android project, where for a few months I was doing more spreadsheet/TPM work than usual, and didn't have m

"The last 10% take 90% of the time" The author had a shower thought. It was poorly explored, poorly argued and deliberately packaged in complex language to hide the lack of substance. The bibtex reference at the end is the cherry

We had a Lada Samara. It was considered a good car in the 90s. I have "fond" memories of helping my dad push the car to the nearest gas station whenever we ran out of gas - which was a few times a week, because we usually didn&#x2

Honestly, open source software should come with a price. I think the "starving artist" approach is detrimental long-term. Sure, there is great value in having a free (in both senses) operating system, but at the same time the year
