i am not op, but as someone who owns 2 vr headsets it's true. for the first few months i definitely played vr games but frankly at this point the only reason i get out the rift is to sink even more hours into beat saber, possibly the f

tl;dr: yes although i find it extremely likely that cars were already being tracked and people are only finding about it now because of the push notifications.

Tom Scott made a video about this a few months ago if you want a quick introduction to the idea[1], and i'm not sure what i think of the idea. I guess even if it's placebo and it makes a difference to people, it's a good thin

i really don't understand this logic, taking the option of no security at all vs possibly flawed. it's like not locking your front door because a thief could just break in through a window.

I'm a former desktop linux user, and manage Linux servers at work. I've tried everything from Ubuntu to Arch to Gentoo; Linux on the desktop just is nowhere near the level of software polish that you get from Apple, let alone the

It really amazes me that this is a thing that made it production, but it seems that browsers are just so complex now that something seemingly obvious like this can sneak by. What really shocks me is that Apple have known about this since at

i don't work for fly so i'm not exactly an authority but as someone with quite a bit of cli experience i can get something done 50x quicker than with a webui. there's added bonuses too, you can use cli programs in ci build ta

TypeScript is one of those things that doesn't feel like it's doing much when you start working with it but then when you try to switch back to writing vanilla JS you wonder how you ever managed. The editor tooling alone makes it

In the case of Vercel, I'd imagine that improving svelte's reach positively affects them commercially seeing as they're a major player in the relatively small market of svelte hosting.

it's genuinely interesting to see the weird mix of random nouns, nerd things (not surprising considering what site i'm posting this on) and people trying very hard to get AI porn. I put "all star by smash mouth in the style o

I really don't think crypto will go anywhere beyond hobbyist territory until transaction fees drop dramatically. There's no way i'm going to use cryptocurrency to do anything at all when I have to make an $8 transaction fee

We've kept our numbers low because of the "over the top" reactions you're talking about. You'd be correct that our case fatality rate is higher, but that's not due to the hospitals struggling, it's becau

The lockdowns didn't work because americans were involved and instead of staying home for 2 weeks got in their cars and stood on government steps with guns. Clearly when the population realises that "muh freedom" isn't r
