wow, what a cool project!

a non-profit that controls one of the most valuable private tech companies that rivals the importance of a lot of F500 companies.

this seems like it’ll be much higher resolution than even decent VR headsets. Also, I think the AR mode being very good is important. Not seeing the real world for too long would make me feel claustrophobic

no, it’s referencing VR headsets

even with gpt 4, it hallucinates enough that it’s not reliable, forgetting to open/close brackets and quotes. This sounds like it’d be a big improvement.

Can't wait for the next dwarf fortress to include something like this.

which video are you referring to?

not to mention their dual class stock structure.

What about career growth? Great managers have helped me grow so much, and advocate for the steps I want in my career.

Not sure if that was your intention, but I would pay Apple level prices for this.

I can’t even begin to imagine how much value Max Howell (creator of Homebrew) has added to the world. It’s the recommended package manager at every place I’ve worked at and saves so much headache.

I use Linux at home and package managers like AUR are great, but macOS is where the users are.

Have you tried putting it between the two parts of the keyboard? I’ve found that to work for me.

Definitely, I personally know really smart Mainland Chinese graduates who ended up falling in love with the U.S. and its values, but had to move back to China due to U.S. immigration policy.

I like how hardware based this list is. I definitely don't think we have hit the limits (or anywhere closed) of software productivity improvements, but given that software rests on top of hardware, it would be very exciting to see how these hardware productivity improvements would translate to software productivity improvements as a first derivative effect.

As an aside, what does the U.S. need to do to make sure this list happens in the U.S. as much as possible and not in places like China with less regulatory capture and more state backing?

for what it's worth, I would have 100% bought that if it was made well.

not exactly, the performance per watt is what's impressive here.

This approach definitely works great! One addition I would make is canning / fermenting vegetables at their peak, so that you can enjoy them throughout the year until the season starts again (canned tomatoes, pickled cabbage, etc.).

The question I would posit is: Do the actions from Google that the Justice Department consider to be anti-competitive prevent competitors from becoming better?

For example, let's say I could be curious about DuckDuckGo if I had to choose a default search engine when I got an Apple device instead of Google being the default, then that could be revenue to DuckDuckGo for them to improve their search engine.

One suggestion I can give you is to get a dynamic microphone. It won't pick up quite loud keyboards behind/below it (if it does, it'll sound like really soft switches).

I would love to run GUI Emacs using this, so this is great news for me.

At the same time, does anyone both love WSL, but is also scared about Microsoft's strategy here?

I'm at the point where I have a main desktop computer that I use for general purpose and gaming, and WSL has been great for me to also be able to do few-compromises coding work on it (previously had an arch linux partition but was tired of having to reboot to access it).

no he was correct

How do smaller products compete with bundling from these large competitors?

It's interesting. Despite all the money that these studios have, my favorite games of the past few years have all been indie games (Rimworld, Factorio) or smaller studios (Paradox Plaza games such as EUIV, Stellaris). I understand that the majority of the industry's revenue is generated from these bigger studios, but acquiring first party developers doesn't make me as too concerned. What I'm concerned about is distribution is controlled by a few parties to a higher degree on desktop, like it is on mobile.

I think it depends on which countries specifically in Asia, and which demographic group within those countries.

As far as I know, as part of it, it's definitely dominant in the Chinese Diaspora.

Have it tried Doom Emacs? If so, what do you prefer about Prelude over the former?

with his level of fame, he would easily make that at one of the top tech firms though.

how many dev hours did it take to build it and how many dev hours / year does it currently take to maintain/update it?

Have you taken a look at Doom Emacs? I liked Spacemacs, but I found Doom more performant, as well as not abstracting too much, which allows you to slowly learn Emacs as you go.

This immediately made me think of the Unix philosophy (Do one thing well and provide the right way for other tools to connect to the output or pipe in input) vs the Emacs way (Operating System within an Operating System).

If we frame it this way, I think it helps us understand better the pros and cons of each, and importantly that they appeal to different type of folks depending on their use cases.

For e.g., one of the main appeals of Emacs is that it's easier to combine functionalities across mini-tools within Emacs than in Vim. However, it also means that when building one of these mini-tools, you have to have awareness of all other mini-tools in the system, and integrate with them properly, which makes the cost of building much higher vs Vim.
