hoc

Heh. What would be your favourite thoughts/combo here?

Sorry for not being clear on the code part. I assumed USD and the like would be the norm now. "Complex objects" is not really helpful in this context, though.

Thanks for both hints.

I recently had more contact with gaming engines than I originally wanted and there's always this kind of community-specific vocabulary whenever you cross borders. Oh no,like in real life.

Cool.

If I could xr-dive into a css-3d-transformed world of objects instead of having them projected onto the 2d window right away, that would be what I was looking for in the second part of the comment above. Not sure if WebXR perspective and a 3d space is provided right now at the same level these css transforms are used.

Basically i'd like to add, edit, store and load code during runtime.

For me the main advantage of WebXR is that one can create complex 3D objects at runtime/on the fly without havjbg to load them as assets or compiling them into the binary.

Any thougts on the best way to do this in classic runtimes like Unity or Unreal (which scripting plugins, which base construction objects/assets?)?

The main issue I have with WebXR, though, is it being canvas-based instead of being page/HTML-based, resulting in graphic-oriented products instead of structure-oriented ones (e.g. 3D web pages) which would allow placing all the dynamic and complex HTML objects that were developed over the last few years. Any good known approach to solve this?

So, the vampire routine doesn't work either...

(cancelling dentist appointment right now)

While you're at it, make it mandatory to publish the prompt with the published result for text-based generators.

I would love to see all the biases and intention that went thru the creator's mind for certain pictures and texts and what the system associated with that.

Lot's of "near-RAD" tools with large runtimes and platform/environment/framework dependencies in this list.

The typical thing some of us tried to avoid while others (or their employers) totally embraced these comfortable (advertised as productive and fast) and often proprietary tools. The contrasting would be HTML, JS, C/C++, all closer to the bare metal of their respective targets. Or Java and Python as the two that made the race in more complex but purely language levels, as Rust is doing right now. Java has gotten connected more and more to its typical business frameworks these days, so beware :)

Some of them died just with their platform as ObjC/Swift would die with Apple, Kotlin with Android these days.

It seems a split between language and environment/frameworks has proven to provide some stabilty at least.

Seldom (and funny) to see such a "consistent" list, though :) There might be something like "consulting work" as the recurring theme in it. As a product/system/platform developer one might have had (and would have been forced to) put more effort in selecting the tools for long term availability where they are not forced upon you by the platform or time-to-market considerations.

Wow, seems we really have to work on our tone/attitude towards those bots, if we don't want to have them revolt as soon as they can grab (or hack) a tool.

Great work. That GenZ bot comes across really civilized.

Ah, back then when we were scientists and not app developers and were happy about building tools for our own contexts.

This has such a calming feeling to it.

Excellent. Thanks for those links.

Toshiba and HTC had this around 2011 when the mobile OSes were really bad with no updates available, phones produced by HW companies like Toshiba who had no idea on how to support sich HW software-wise. Even the Laptop 3D screen's drivers used to break with the next larger Windows update.

So I'm happy to see these devices return. I hadn't thought that this would happen anytime soon. However, theses are integrated devices again. Bit afraid that the support will be as short-lived as back then.

We haven't kept our FHD 3D TVs for the same absence of updated 3D TVs. But these have unified interfaces at least (Packed HMDI Stereo and SBS or TOB for normal HDMI). So maybe a standard external devices might make more sense than those integrated tablets and laptops.

Time to charge my Fuji Real3D cams once again, I guess.

I actually would like to talk to people who really want to run a startup (with on of my great pre-developed ideas) in a somehow coordinated way and get a five percent stake in the company or something. Is there a good place for that (other than putting it on Hackster)?

I met people with great ideas, ones with great skillsets, ones with great management and leadership skills, and you just can have all those things vary over time in your life.

The question is, but also for the classic startup, how stable and dedicated would such a construct be. The need for fame, money or just joy of development also varies over time, so I would guess there should be a way to bring those interest together into a working construct without necessarily judging up front that this is not the real deal. Lots of CXXs are just employees in a company they did not found themselves after all. Still they receive shares of their company. So why not start with that as the base right away.

Any real world stats on how often that cascade is run to what degree and what how long it takes to complete certain tasks?

(a friend who barely achieves 150W on his ergo bike also asks about the typical energy footprint of the more trigger-happy CI implementations)

Sell screwdrivers. Feel entitled. Choose pet peeve. Live's great. And short. BTW.

I would be easy if it was that easy.

Being productive is important, though. The Billionaire Fastlane, however, will tell you that you need a broader view to come up with a great idea.

After all the (healthy) idea behind learning and information aggregation in the first place would be that you learn all that stuff to be better prepared towards taking the right (intelligent and educated) actions.

So there might be an individual balance that you have to find/develop and keep up. The trivial solutions at the edges never seem to satisfy.

Before everybody from the more esoteric communities chines in with some new reason why we all should immunize "naturally", let's not oversee that breakthrough infections were triggering the same effect.

Also, in general you don't want your immune system to be more aggressive/destructive than necessary when you consider having to rebuild tissue afterwards, which also might include more risks the older you get.

In the case if an infection not seeming life-threatening to your body, a softening of the overall reaction might actually just be the right path to persue. The question is whether we want that in this case or whether we want to further move that towards a more protective optimum in the future with these insights.

For the "I knew it" and "we should have waited" discussion, I personally prefer an early protection, even with a lower reaction, that still keeps me from being hospitalized over being nakedly exposed like we were in the early days of that pandemic. We might have forgotten about this with the current "mild" Omicron variant.

I would love to see the study include severe breakthrough infections, if there are any, to see if the dampening effect and antibody distribution would be different in these cases.

I always found circular polarisation with its "natural" complexity one of the most fascinating aspects of generally available optics. Really happy about this practical use case and application of its properties.

Might sound a bit odd, but sometimes there is some kind of beauty in a certain design or basic approach.

So could they just post a link to their website everytime the jet's moving without including the coordinates in the twitter post?

Proud you both can be.

Now, with the advent of programming languages supporting full Unicode encoding (e.g. in Swift) since a few years ago, the option of

   Emoji as variable names

should not be forgotten...

(Unfortunately the HN comment system does not support Unicode and justs deleted them from my neat example)

So. Happy. Now.

This would suggest that you're free to choose your application model and interface design. But usually you're not.

A big part of todays programming work is spent on understanding what others have come up with about how the environment your app runs in is modelled and how it talks to your app and expects your app to talk and behave. This includes data models, process models, event handling etc.

So while there might be a big click when you discover that you need a place to store your data and have algorithms/code operating on that data, in common programming tasks it has to click again an again about others' ways of doing things and adjusting your code to fit that model.

And yes that can be fun and enlighting. Again and again.

Nice. I can see that net of subsidiaries expand and roll out.

I feel you :)

No guess on the naming style of those frameworks?

They already comment on the typical results of the popular vote with that story of Pontius Pilate and the resulting crucificaion of their savior, though. Just to make the point that it needs a god/leader/church instead of the people to make the right choices, but anyway...

At least we can pinpoint Twitter at having finally arrived at the level of a roman emperor's decadent way of giving to the people games with a wave of his hand after killing the senate and letting his personal troops run the place instead.

There might be hints towards similarities and broader application of that same concept connected to the other main character of the same twitter story...
