I think the founders undermined this product with their launch strategy, first showcasing it on a TED talk briefly without fully exposing the hardware, then about a month later in …

Having the word "Ai" in the name of a product makes it feel cheap and not premium. People don't care about Ai but more so what it can do for them.

I think once they allow sideloading, folks in the open source community will eventually figure out ways to unlock it for other regions.

that's supposedly what Humane is developing atm and should announce sometime later this year.

I wonder why Meta didn't fork Second Life to use for their 3D world rather than re-invent the wheel and in the end build a bad product.

"Unfortunately that ecosystem doesn't exist yet so we're stuck with the duopoly of evil-doers..." That is no longer the case. There are projects starting to come out which are open…

While manual transmission is fun and has a different feel for driving. From my experience, once your car starts outputting anything above 400hp, having a manual takes away from tha…

Surely, I can't be the only one who clicked on this thinking it's related to the Electron framework rather than scientific electrons

I'm surprised they're not porting the windows full fledged version over to Mac. I've used the VS for Mac edition and it's lacking too many useful features that come with vscode out…

You think 20 seconds is a big deal? I urge you to try the NYC subway system once. That's all I'm going to say

That line pretty much sums up the experience a lot of devs feel towards Rust

From my experience, I see that usually hackathon events have more male attendees than female. I am sure there might be hackathons where that's not the case but I don't think it wou…

If you are going to learn programming on your own and not planning to go through a computer science curriculum, then I would say you don't need much more than basic algebra and ari…

Very interesting point of view. I like your thinking :)

Apartment listings making that much money? Wow!

I see your point of view and respect it. I think hackathons may not be everyone and my original thought was I felt companies using hackathons as a way to benchmark developers (as i…

I totally see your point and understand that it's good to break away from work every now and then to work on a fun project idea. The problem I have with these hackathons though is …

To be clear, I am not against the idea of collaborating with like-minded individuals to come up with a creative application idea however the side effects that come from these hacka…
