We don’t build pyramids anymore because we’ve figured there are better things to spend the money on.

It’s about mixed reality after all

That’s what I have been told and that’s why I have been avoiding creating an account

For me I hated Quora because of how locked down it is. Want to view another question on the site? Must register an account first! No fucking thanks. It was always nagging about creating an account.

Because of this I actively ignored Quora results anytime I googled something.

And if I happen to click on those videos only to confirm it’s not for me they will be like “omg, he’s crazy about this video! Let’s recommend 10 different variations of this video from now on!”

Sometimes it keeps recommending me the same videos even if have no intention of ever watching them.

Quick! Hide it before some LinkedIn lunatic use it as some inspirational post about how AR tech will revolutionize our lives.

I think the biggest difference compared to all previous endeavors is that VR/AR devices are still this thing that collects dust in the corner even among the biggest enthusiasts.

Most people had some form of portable music player (like Walkman) long before iPod was a thing.

Every household had been equipped with phones long before Apple made iPhone. Cellphones were also a huge deal before iPhone.

Watches are old as time (pun intended). Fitness trackers was also a big thing before Apple Watch.

VR/AR? Most people don’t really care - despite multiple efforts from all the biggest tech companies. Is a more premium Oculus from Apple the solution? I guess time will tell, but I have doubts.

It’s making fun of people patting themselves on the back over how good allies they are for doing things no one ever asked for and isn’t helping anybody.

Like how white people informed others to use the made up gender neutral word Latinx instead of Latino/Latina, when no Hispanic has even asked for it or even want it.

Modern browsers are ringing all warning bells and whistles if a site doesn’t use HTTPS properly, possibly even preventing you to even load the site.

If you’re connecting to an insecure site, you will know.

AI has somehow gotten better with teeth than hands

The good thing about the var keyword is that it’s still statically typed. The IDE can figure out the type for you if you hover over it.

Sure, anyone can pick up a new language or two over a weekend. That doesn’t mean they are confident enough to contribute to large scale programs with it. That takes much longer to learn.

Anyone can quickly learn how to solve some code challenges in a new language.

It’s a completely different story to learn how to write long lived enterprise scale programs that can grow with multiple independent contributors. This takes a lifetime to learn. More people have more experience to do it with Java.

It’s by amount of pull requests, so the length of class names and other Java boilerplate doesn’t count.

You’re delusional if you believe people care about Nim. It has been around for 16 years and is still nothing in comparison to Java. Java won’t go anywhere and is here to stay.

Is this allowlist supposed to work on article by article basis? Because that’s what has to be done for publishing platforms like medium.

FOSS won’t change this matter unless it somehow can filter out all the low quality AI-generated articles better than Google’s filters.

The study says it’s affecting all other search engines as well
