I know, and I was thinking about being more explicit, but Zamalek's comment was on resolution per-eye, so to keep it clear I decided to use resolution, too. Thank you for expanding on the comment!

To be fair, the Vive was six years ago. Wow, that feels sad to say. Vive: 1080×1200 per eye Index: 1440×1600 per eye Quest 2: 1832 x 1920 per eye (pushing 120hz at native resolution on a phone without it hitting thermal limits) Focus 3: 244

Why not take the ten minutes to set it up yourself? It's pretty trivial to get everything Naac described working.

Isn't arbitrage like that just how markets are supposed to work? Still ends up with the cans redeemed and disposed, just goes about it in such a way that the maximum amount of value is extracted from them.

This comment section shows absolute delusion. x86 isn't dead, and there are more x86 chips sold every year. ISAs are not and have never been a zero sum game, and especially in the Windows space, x86-compatible is here to stay for a lon

Java wasn't a business failure. SPARC was a business failure, and Sun had an incompetent CEO. Java ultimately kept their declining hardware and operating systems afloat for longer than they would have been otherwise.

This is a terrible article by an author who makes a living off of clickbait headlines. 3.4% of its money goes to Linux kernel development. This is because they really don't have to hire kernel developers. Other companies do that for

The OP and I both agree that pandemic years are outliers, which is why we're using the 2019 numbers.

1.7 is a solid fertility rate that you would expect for a large, first-world country, not a "very low" one.

The one-child policy ended officially in 2015, and had never really found universal application. There's absolutely no reason why it would have a strong negative influence on China's fertility rate today. What is your point, exact

There's a place for it. Namely, the email of whoever wrote the piece. Not a discussion site. Spamming complaints on HN only serves to lower the quality of discussion.

For a lot of AR/VR devices, the communities around them find ways of conveniently using prescription lenses. There's a pretty common Quest 2 mod, for example, using 3D printing and $10 prescription lenses to allow you to use the d

Antiquation is a good thing. I like Haskell just fine; its community has gotten worse. It isn't surprising, as a result, that there have been plenty of impressive things written in it and that there aren't any modern things bein

Latency is a lot lower than people generally think it is. I'm currently on a terrible satellite connection (not the popular one), and the latency to ping 1.1.1.1 averages 16.184ms right now, during awful weather, and never hits above 2
