Your username improves this comment :P I gamed the attractiveness model for as long as I could, trying different angles and glasses on/off and hit 9.2. If dating apps use a max() a…

Your domain ideas are pretty good. You could sell your creativity as a service. 50 bucks for 3-5 name options for someone's side project, if you're that good at coming up with them…

That's an amazing link, thanks

I thought I was the only one doing this :P It definitely helps at smaller sizes, narrow fonts like MonoLisa simply become too faint to read easily otherwise

Yeah. I imagine there being "metaverse clients" that don't enforce any NFT DRM and will allow you to copy whatever 3D asset you see as well. I would definitely connect with a jailb…

That was interesting, great read, thanks. Following the article's argument the best thing Meta can do is build "metaverse hosting" but open-source the server/client code.

Could you flesh out the "federation doesn't scale" argument a bit?

I had a question about your Linux setup: Does Immersed VR support multiple monitors in Linux now? Or do you have to mirror a "real" 4k monitor to have it show up in your app? Edit:…

Thanks. I've never seen Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and this comment lead me down a great little Internet rabbit hole

VSCode's Interactive mode does this quite well. Docs: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py A short demo on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwN4-W1W…

Just a quick heads up: I'm a weirdo with WebRTC disabled by default which broke app.paircast.io for me. Because the pricing page embeds pricing from app.paircast.io, that failed fo…

My wife and I decided to have our kid in Portugal so he could get both of our surnames without adding hyphens or changing our own surnames. If we had opted to have him in Germany w…

Wow, this lead me down quite a rabbit hole. I hadn't heard of SDF, thanks!

Things have actually improved a lot. I'm running Ubuntu right now and drawing ~5W from my 51Wh battery on a new Ice Lake Dell XPS 13. Highly recommended.

In our early days of Zulip-use, I had to regularly edit people's messages to force them into using a topic. A handful of people still don't get it and treat topics as special/long-…

Very interesting. Also seems to apply to African ex-colonies: I live just below the "Hill Station" neighbourhood of Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Yeah, Player of Games is the most detailed portrayal of the "the Culture" and everyday life in the Culture Series. Also interesting use of soft power to destroy another civilizatio…

Hah, the key I struggled with the most was 'b'. My brain was convinced that was a right index-finger key the first couple of weeks using an Ergodox EZ.

I can recommend `pipx` (pipx — Install and Run Python Applications in Isolated Environments) https://pipxproject.github.io/pipx/

I believe "Hola VPN" did something similar as a browser extension. (You join our free VPN, you act as a node in our commercial residential IP pool (botnet).)

Great news! I first found this book at the end of my first year in a corporate dev job, as I was becoming a bit bored/disillusioned with the industry. Most of the lessons were grea…

I recently found Oni, which aims to be a web-tech UI for neovim. (The new version should even support the full VSCode extension API / ecosystem) https://github.com/onivim/oni2

My partner made me watch a few episodes on Netflix. I was pretty sceptical about finding something innovative in the show but thought her approach made a lot of sense for physical …

I've done Andrew Ng's Coursera specialization (deeplearning.ai) and course.fast.ai, and I would 100% recommend starting with fast.ai. (Seeing results more quickly is motivating. It…
