I've done a 10K+ one which did translate to followers, but keep in mind those followers are following the project, not you :) While people are grateful and supportive, do what makes you happy inside, because chasing clout and JSConf st

You can build verses with anything, but something standardized and decentralized like the Web? Competition back then may have been possible, but it's daunting now when you have winner-takes-all corporations with Google and the Web, and

Not OP but I lived in Santa Fe for a couple weeks. I felt there was some rejuvenating spiritual energy in the air. And love the high desert and open skies. And Meow Wolf. People that moved there enjoyed having Taos nearby.

Yeah, I lived in Idaho Falls and Santa Fe. I describe it as pleasant and comfortable. Definitely in between, not as many restaurants, quiet, nice natural areas, not as much energy, but has stuff like WinCo. I do prefer the extremes, haha. E

Some control over the direction of the spec to avoid situations like taking years to rewrite a working shipped spec, removing controller support, removing haptics, adding unneeded APIs, focusing on Cardboard and 3DOF, removing or not suppor

Software engineers like openness and quiet even more so than average. To get away. Hence why everyone is a hiker that wears Patagonia :) I'm sure lots of people's long-term dreams here are not software, but to live some Stardew Va

I've been nomadic living in both rural and urban areas. Because cities have events, people to meet, food to eat. There's a lot of conveniences. For rural, I've lived in a town where there was only one restaurant, and it was a

Wouldn't say walkable though. Public transit doesn't feel super well-connected. If you have the cash to Uber everywhere, it's good though it's a lot of traffic to go through to go a few miles. The time of the slow sparse

After visiting many countries, and living in 10 US states this past year... Mexico City. I lived there a month, I enjoyed the food even more than Japan, Vietnam, LA. People are friendly, lot of action and culture, felt extremely safe, cheap

If you're not physically together, which you aren't for the majority of the time, you're isolated anyways.

I've lived through this with aframe.io and as part of the original WebVR team. It was one of the top frameworks with a large community, but content creators at a nascent stage can't shift the balance without control of the browser

Yeah, I don't get styled components, the syntax and organization looks like a mess. I love using Stylus with Vue single-file-components, it lets me use a lot of CSS-specific patterns and macros. Using Stylus blocks, I like making thing

I'm not arguing VR is the future or anything, but people with rich social lives in SF or Manhattan aren't a great measuring stick. Doubly so during pandemic times.

It's controlled by representatives from big tech companies whose sole job became to tweak and perfect the spec There was a working WebVR spec in 2015 shipped in two browsers. Big companies including Google jumped in and delayed the spe

Nice to see this as the first comment. Not working in VR currently. But as one of the creators of A-Frame and formerly was in YC doing a VR + Metaverse attempt, AMA.

What sorts of apps were given a hard time? Like where's the line between a full webapp and website. Does the webapp need to hook into device-specific APIs to not be a website?

Mexico City built a hard way, searching for an eagle eating a snake on top of a rock. They found it on a lake bed. As a result, they built on some pretty soft sinking layers. Favorite city though, lived there last month and going to Machu P

It's a win-win play for them. Gain a small piece of developer goodwill by opening up an obsolete headset they don't care about anyways, like open sourcing a dead project. We will hope they will do the same for the Quest, but they&

Most of my Windows laptops in the past would do this in a bag (e.g., Sony and Razor). I'd pin it on Windows, not saying it happens to all Windows laptops but Windows allows it to happen. It knows to sleep when shut, but somehow spins b

Not that it comes up in conversation often, but people get the idea and it's less far-fetched than it used to sound.

It's ironic to be mocking this Hacker News, where people every day are launching upstart ideas to take on massive incumbents. Launching your own basketball league isn't even that ridiculous! I could see a basketball league with in
