What do you write your step functions in? Are you using ASL or something that compiles to it?

Sorry, I missed that in your earlier post. In terms of experiences that work today outside gaming, I guess we mostly just have 360 videos and virtual workspaces/screens. The former is a novelty and the latter has been held back by disp

I think the pricing and marketing of Meta Quest 3 position it as a device that is fit for the general public. But VR just isn't good enough yet. The Apple device will also be not good enough, but because the average person won't b

I think it's the opposite. A ridiculously expensive price tag is the only way it can be successful. If it was cheaper, more people would buy, get disappointed in this, and then give up. Because it's so expensive, it selects for ze

I don't think it's a worse track record than blockchain. Things are clunky now, but there are some genuinely fun and cool experiences to be had: - Playing table tennis in VR is more fun than in real life since you don't have

I think adoption being limited because of price is useful here. If it was cheaper, more people would buy it and be disappointed. As it stands, only wealthy early adopters or die-hard Apple fans who can see them do no wrong will buy it. It s

I do hope this is successful. The cult-like behavior that Apple inspires may be the big push needed to help VR become adopted by the general public. If it fails, then I'd be pessimistic that VR will have meaningful progression in the n

With these quality degradations from streaming providers and content removal of "purchased" items due to licensing changes, I feel like we're going to see piracy make a comeback. I wish there was an easy way to digitize large

You've heard from plenty of others on this thread, but here's another anecdotal data point: I'm in my early 30's and have been told to my face by friends I'm hanging out with that they excluded me from group chats b

React Native has been great. Until recently, updating old versions of React Native had been a real challenge though. The complexity all comes from the native layer bits though. A lot of SaaS providers offer React Native components that are

SQLite alone doesn't help you get away with any of that. If you already know that a single machine is enough for you, then sure, SQLite is a fine choice. Availability needs alone often force you to run multi-node setups.

No? If you have a horizontally scaled architecture or anything with multiple nodes, you can't just get away with "sqlite is a library".

This was a really common dilemma at Amazon. The prevailing wisdom was opposite to the advice in the article though. Unless you had an exceptional reason, your functionality and data should be exposed as service, not a library.

The inability to filter by bed types is frustrating. If you're traveling with a group that needs 3 or 4 king size beds, good luck sorting through it all.

When an engineer made a change is of no consequence to me. When it got merged into the main branch does matter a whole lot if you're doing trunk-based development.

Of his actual guilt? No. But there's a very real question about whether or not he'd actually be convicted. The justice system isn't really known for fairness.

Different people have different needs though. I have a smart mirror that runs a 4K display driven by a Pi 4. I'm sure there a lot of other kiosk-like use-cases for Pis.

The lack of MST support caught me by surprise. Six years ago, I intentionally bought an expensive monitor with USB-C and daisy-chaining support as the second screen so that the monitor itself would be able to function as my dock. Lo and beh

No, this is not at all comparable to the Pepe frog meme. No one is going to look for another symbol here. That trend graph is for search interest. It's not surprising that we're past peak searches for that from non-Muslim majority

> "Alhamdulillah" [...] is used by Muslims nowadays as an alternative to Allah u Akbar, Takbir, or Narai-e-Takbir because those 3 terms have been co-opted by Jihadists. This is not correct. Almost all of those phrases are commo

I used this all the time on hikes. Combined with VR headsets, they were a great way to share experiences with people who lacked the physical health to otherwise get access.

This is about interop. I'm not interested in iMessage. I do, however, want to be able to have group chats that don't suck and images that don't compress to death when I message friends with iPhones. Unsurprisingly, my friends

For now. But the fork will likely diverge over time, right? I suspect this will cause issues unless compatibility is an explicit goal.

Even if the license is unchanged, will it interop with OpenTofu? Will interop with CDKTF be an explicit goal of the project?

by bilalq 3y ago
What are OpenTofu's plans around CDKTF? Will that only work with HashiCorp TF going forward? Or will that be forked as well? Terraform is a better foundational layer than CloudFormation, but CDK is by far the better level of abstractio

Pretty intuitive. I love the idea behind nudging towards the answer while making the user actually select it themselves.
