Neat! I'm building an app in this space to improve the web browsing experience. Tabs have a purpose and a place, but I think there are some browsing behaviors where tabs are a poor solution - such as when working with collections of br

Sort of! It's in 3D. Spatial is leveraging the human ability to reason about & remember landmarks as part of navigation of a space and associate information.

they don't have much to see, so hard to say what their implementation is; i think same problem space for sure.

My project is a new way to browse the web, spatially. Built in unity/c#. Mostly done but there's always more to do so open to help with hte dev, Would also be great to work with a Ruby on Rails dev on building out the platform sid

To be fair, I'm on the Beta builds and while sometimes there are crashes, it's often fixed in the next beta release. And maybe i am just building something basic, but I've never had to fight the engine. And the asset store ha

I think it's fair to say the problem space AI operates in is one of case statements and not general rationalization. The magic of "AI" is in working with subjective data to identify the best case to use.

very nerdy concept! And well crafted video. But as a gameplay mechanic not my cup of tea.

I have used unity for 2 years - abandoned my first project because it became unmaintainable. But my second attempt has been much more successful. I agree that unity is good for prototyping, and lots of people have experience with that. Turn

I guess the most notable thing would be the new kind of web browser I'm building. It's a rethink on how to browse the web, and while it's not going to be a 1:1 experience with existing browsers (no plugins for example), it&#x

Everytime they mess with my feed, I get closer to closing my account; especially as they exert more and more control. all I want is to follow specific people and see their tweets in chronological order. I don't want it shuffled, i don&

Relatedly... I also can't sign in via embedded browser. I understand they have reasons, but like, shouldn't there be A way to do it if it's an embed that you trust? I don't get it.

Long time thunderbird user, recently switched to Postbox. No regrets. If they hadn't screwed with it, I'd still be using thunderbird. I don't know why they became so anti-user.

As a full stack engineer, I too am surprised at how hard it is for people to straddle both. I think that only came about for me, from building my own projects end to end.

A) I call BS on "never". It's one thing to not consider them, but another to say never ever. And what does that say if he's truly never even read one? B) This isn't something to be proud of, and certainly not someth

i feel like if HR is using teams for interviews... there's a 95% chance it's using teams internally too. The same could not be said for zoom or google meet; where internally teams might be whats used. So to me I think it's a

For a job a few years ago, I was open to Teams, and the latest MS ecosystem. I was excited to finally get a chance to use outlook. (turns out they rewrote it and did away with everything that made outlook appealing) It really is such a pain

I think it's language dependent - no team i've been on has been strangled by dependencies, they've largely amplified development; and the tradeoff to address breaking changes when they come is worth it. But if you add depende

I have no doubt of the data - but even if its gains outpaced the market returns of stocks - they have better liquidity, are lower risk, and can payout dividends. The thing about lego sets as an investment opportunity is it's beanie-bab
