The article's argument, and mine, is this is actually a very limited view of VR. Some people want to do these active things, but most people just want to hang out. Even in the much tamer example from the article, playing cards at a tab

Every discussion about movement in VR reminds me of an old Penny Arcade Comic about Wii Sports. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/13/you-know-it-to... Sure, it looks really cool to make big swee

A ton of people I know have a cousin or a brother in law that have been slowing draining bank accounts on DraftKings for years. Their spouses and children only find out once there is no money to pay bills. In one case a set of retired paren

Never? The NFL has had no problems redirecting billions of state and local funding to build stadiums and other altars to their players. Thru things like food and beverage taxes, every US resident helps underwrite the NFL even if they never

I have pretty much gone back to for loops for anything besides the simplest map()'s. You can get reduce() to do some pretty cool things that always need more lines of comments to explain than a for loop and some variables.

Ugh tell me about it. My large enterprise company has been piling these on lately. You also get blocked from checking in any ignore eslint statements unless you ask some review board that meets once a week with a month long waiting list. I

Can anyone tell me what's the upside to these companies today? I have talked to a few of their users, but I still have not heard a sound reason. They mostly seem focused on items like clothing. If you can't afford it, don't b

Wizards of the Coast has really been pumping the gas on MTG recently. Something like half the cards ever printed have been printed in the last five years. Tons of crossovers, limited editions, and luxury products. There used to be a steady

I largely agree with the article, but I am always confused on why people say "GRRM likes killing people, look he killed Ned!." Yes that is true, but Ned Stark dying was probably the most traditional deaths the story. The beloved f

Sounds like you live in a really shitty city to be honest. I have lived in car centric cities and walkable cities, and neither had that issue.

For a while at Philz you would order your coffee directly with the barista, pay at the cashier, and then pick up the coffee. This baffled so many people because it disrupted the normal "gate" that is paying when you order. Also th

In related news Google announced South Africa as the location for its first Cloud Region in Africa. Some arguments I saw against this in comments was possibly poor global connectivity. Also some commenters lamented that Nigeria would also b

I see almost no shade in the mockups. It's car addicted, because it's the hottest city in the USA. It has days over 100F almost 1/3 of the year. You go from your car with AC to a building with AC. Sounds like this experiment

I am not an ad person, but to me they always contain a specific subject (thing, place, etc). If you are making an ad for widget XJ900, you don't want it to actually show the XK800. What's harder, trying to prompt the AI into gener

They let the smoke out. You aren't supposed to do that. Electronics only work if you keep their smoke inside.

You can do these kind of side by sides for about any American city that existed before 1880. For some reason people really think we are in a cultural dearth because we don't have the same brick general stores from 100 years ago.

Correct. OChem represents a shift from atom based thinking to electron arrangement based thinking. You kind of learn this before with orbitals and simple stuff like Cl's 7 electrons+ H's 1 electron = 8 electrons, a full shell! Tha

Do people use circuit simulators and compile to blocks, or copy/paste units from previous projects? Seems like such a massive undertaking where a single misplaced item ruins everything.
