I managed to build it and test it a little bit and damn, it's not just marketing to describe it as having an insanely fast start up time. It launched almost as quick as I can spawn new client windows from my Emacs daemon and scrolling

I don't think it should ever be on by default but I do find it useful situationally, when scrolling through very large files (which ideally you want to avoid in your codebase in the first place) and when I don't necessarily have a

Tabs are fine as long as they represent workspaces instead of a one-to-one mapping to files or buffers. I think the browser tab metaphor does not work very well in a text editor without some modification since you often want to do split lay

For me, my Emacs runs fine up till I try using lsp for java development and then it's a bloody nightmare. Currently, I'm being forced to resort to the indignity that is Eclipse as a result of that. I'm frankly ready for a tot

Just so I understand this correctly, the version of Onivim 2 from 18 months ago will be open source? That's not the worst solution if true. John Carmack would do something similar with many of his game engines back when he was working

>I think that's quite a huge assertion to make, personally. Not really, especially in the context of the discussion which is privileging the continuity of experience which objectively breaks when you lose consciousness during sleep

I really don't see the problem here. The AI rights debate is fringe at best and is currently purely hypothetical. Maybe if it was genuinely at the level where it's competing with NGOs or international aid for funding, I could see

I don't quite buy that you could really have said the same about the 32 bit to 64 bit transition. 4 Gigabytes is a far cry from 18 exabytes! It is going to be a long while till we scale up to that level.

Yeah, I can develop and test for both platforms on a machine with Linux installed so your whataboutism is both disingenuous and factually incorrect.

Assuming that this comment is 100% in earnest, why are you under the impression that we have to choose between treating human prisoners and self aware AI with dignity? Why not do both or is there some sort of compassion budget that I'm

The problem with this argument is that this is effectively happening every time you fall asleep or get knocked out. Your consciousness shuts off during both and you rely on memories to preserve the illusion of continuity. In a very real sen

Obviously, these companies themselves are not involved in the policies themselves but am I supposed to believe that all the major social media platforms independently decided to ban the then president of the United States when he had repeat

If your hourly rate is nearly minimum wage but you have a $5K PC build and the latest MBP, something tells me you have put the cart before the horse.

That's assuming there is a viable alternative for the same price point - and no, I don't consider abstinence as a valid alternative.

It also has a bs annual "support" cost of $180 so short of robbing one of them, you're better off waiting for the root method for the Quest 2 becoming publicly available or if you like to live a little dangerously, just use t

Your comment ironically reeks of scientific ignorance itself. Science is as much about confirmation of prior observations and testing of established theories (and in fact more so by sheer volume of studies) as it is investigation of unexpla

"If these providers have built in the ability for the CCP to access user data, then there's no way they could ever stand up to US gov't asking for the same access" There are plenty of good reasons to refuse to cede to CC

Just search it on Youtube. I normally hate comments like this but I have reasonable reluctance to explicitly detail the workaround on a site where FAANG employees (and employers) frequent.

Sorry, I think this might have been my bad since I forgot that PC is synonymous with Windows computer in the US. I just mean you obviously need something to backup that data to. It could be a Mac or whatever but there many iOS users who don

Ok, so it was not a straw man argument, then. I feel like you're veering dangerously close to victim blaming here. Them asking the customer to erase their devices to "protect their data" seems like a thinly veiled attempt to

Civil rights are not granted from cancelling racists from exposing their hateful views online, it's from taking action against the racist systems and people in power that really impact their rights. This can take the form of both viole

I cannot disagree though I would point out that nothing in the market really comes close to matching the value for money that the Quest 2 provides. However, by bypassing the Facebook requirement, I like to believe that I'm screwing the

Pretty sure the PiMax "8K" (Misleading term since it's not 8K, it's just 4K per eye) fits the bill. They have had issues with production before but more recent reviews indicate a major improvement. Do expect distortions

While this is true, I managed to bypass the Facebook login requirement through a workaround and the Quest 2 has apparently recently been rooted. The method has yet to be made public yet but it's only a matter of time.

Or it could have also been due to the whole having access to orders of magnitude more mechanical power on tap, assembly line production allowing for rapid prototyping, and industrialisation of agriculture leading to a population boom.

The exact same restrictions on free speech disproportionately impact black activist groups who might not have the same corporate backing as many right wing think tanks or organisations. The only thing restrictions on free speech incentivise
