anvemaha··on Facebook will start putting ads in Oculus Quest apps
I was just starting to come around to the idea of buying a Quest 2 :(

I had a CV1, but sold it some years ago, I found the usb-attached lighthouses too messy for my setup. Ideally I would like to get rid of the headset cable as well. I pretty much only played Beat Saber so Quest 2 would have been perfect!

I guess it's time to order a Valve Index?

anvemaha··on In Stockholm there's currently an IT battle underway
In case anyone wants to read some research on the success rate of IT projects Standish Group's Chaos Reports are a good place to start.

I read the 2014 one as a part of our project management uni course, but couldn't find it with a simple Google search so here's the 2015 one:

This one could work with the right delivery! Triangles (the musical instruments) make a ding sound when played so just try to imitate that when you say the word thing :)

anvemaha··on Ask HN: What tangible benefits did you get from spending time on HN?
Seconded.

I'm taking a professional reporting course at my uni and I feel like lurking here has paid off at least a little bit.

anvemaha··on How Satya Nadella turned Microsoft around
Bloomberg has a probably similar article[1] that doesn't have a hard paywall. I used it during a uni leadership course for a short essay and found it informative. Just wanted to drop the link here in case anyone's interested.

anvemaha··on Learn Lua in 15 Minutes (2013)
Can anyone recommend IDEs for Lua? I've used Visual Studio Community for C# and Eclipse for Java and been really happy with them. Mainly looking for code auto-completion and debugger. Right now I'm doing a small game with C# and Otter2d, but Lua with löve2d seems interesting.
