I find this page very confusing. I suppose it's a stand-alone experience, based on other Meta VR products, but it doesn't really say that anywhere. How does its processing power and display pipeline compare to the Quest, or to oth

What drew me into Elm was their focus on demonstrating how using elm would let you build web interfaces a different way. PureScript seems technically interesting but I don't feel like their current website "pitches" me on how

It seems like Valve has re-uploaded without the emulator, but I think there's a case to be made that this sets expectations for Valve and Nintendo in an important way. Valve is not selling a walled garden product and if you are expecti

People can always be healthier (and patients that meet weight-based diagnostic criteria are, AFAIK, informed about their elevated risk and advised to lose weight pretty reliably). I think this study seeks to identify additional intervention

Table 4 is interesting because you can clearly see the elevated incidents of death for Black people compared to White and Hispanic folks. Social determinants of health go deep.

Yes, but what I am talking about is the professional side. Sibling comments are talking about the Nov 1st launch games who were in the dark. Obviously Google can make it right - but that doesn't seem like what they are going to do.

I do think "we" (whatever that means) are paying too little attention to the real work of truly integrating cultures. It's hard work - to be open and aware of your actions and to see how one might adjust oneself after noticin

The thing that I find odd about Google is that it feels like they drink their own coolaid. Reports I've seen suggest that nearly no one knew this was coming. Teams who have been working on ports for months were blind-sided. Employees g

I am 100% with you in general, but this feels more like the Windows Defender launch than some fully cynical power grab. That is to say - Microsoft gets a lot of grief and work from windows installs getting taken over / viruses / e

My first real job was mostly working in Lua and, to me, the real warts are the weird edge-cases in how Lua behaves. It's been a while, but IIRC I remember getting caught by how Lua will not insert nil into the array values of a table,

This is a legal distinction, not a technical filter. They are telling their users that it breaks their terms of service to upload "AI-generated" images. So if you upload an image and it turns out, through a legal challenge, that G

I think you've misunderstood the point of the post you are replying to. Pointing out the rare advantages Dylan had in founding Figma doesn't take away any of his accomplishment. Privileged people accomplish things and overcome thi

Like everyone, I agree that Gates' pledge to donate his money is a goodness. I also think you have stopped being critical too soon. It's very optimistic of you to imagine that the Gates foundation is 100% efficient at delivering m

To me, I think Elixir's technical merits are well documented. If they appeal to you, you're welcome to dive into the deep end any time. No one needs to write you a tutorial for you to start using plug and cowboy - you can just do

Yah, I was a bit cheeky, but I think we're understanding each other! I guess I want to say that I don't think our two views obviously contradict each other. I think you and I agree on how responsible Gates was for Microsoft'

It's interesting to me that you bring up the profit that Microsoft made because I have not. There are things to talk about vis-a-vie Microsoft-the-company and why they were so profitable, but I was only talking about a particular Mic

If the question is "did he break laws to make his money" then of course the answer is yes. If you think Gates generated more than $1.5 million in value every hour he worked, well, I can't stop you. All I can do is point out t

> It is hard to say he didn't earn it. This is wrong, it is extremely easy to say he didn't earn it. Calculated as a salary, Bill Gates would need to be paid ~$185,000 an hour since birth to reach his current level of wealth[1]

Though I personally support breaking Russian law in this case - I also think this is almost certainly in the "clearly illegal" category for Russian law.

Not every measure follows a bell curve. The reason intelligence is seen as following a bell curve is at least partially that intelligence tests are designed with the assumption that it does - so every test that is accepted suggests that it&

There are two elements of this position that I urge you to consider: First - if KF is guilty of crimes that would stop CloudFlare from providing them services - then it's both reasonable and normal for people to encourage CloudFlare to

No one is claiming that, in a perfect world, this would be Cloudflare's problem. Some other authority would step in and take care of it I suppose. But we don't live in a perfect world. It's a pretty weak response to say &quot

I don't mean to say that people were led to believe that free instances had no limits - just that this is a reversal of the nature of those limits. Groups that had planned based on the old limits are now in a tough spot. I'm glad

This felt like a mean spirited and cynical money play to me, especially coming years after launching free instances. For smaller groups (families, houses, etc) this effectively forces them to pay or lose months or years of history. To me, t
