  • The Israeli left has been advocating for peace for the last 57 years and losing ground because of it so don't hold your breath.

  • In case you missed it, in our broken model of civilization a CEO's only responsibility is to increase value for shareholders. Not to clients, not to employees, not to the biosphere.

    Market cap increased, job's done successfully.

  • Well, they forgot that hardware needs an actual purpose once you're done with the market of people who purchase any new overpriced gadget to use as status symbol.

    Setting timers for eggs and pasta isn't one.

  • Survey says half of developers consider VR market on decline or stagnation

    Jump

  • Oh I agree. Once you already have a PC or a console the added experience of a VR headset isn't a great value proposition for the price.

  • It's mostly the price. If you have 500 or even 1000 to invest to play games, first that puts you squarely in the top 1% worldwide but more importantly a VR headset is the worst choice in terms of breadth of games you can play. So the first choice will always be a PC or a console which leave the VR headset for the people who actually have 2k+ to spend for gaming and actually want one. A tiny tiny minority.

    If you add on top of it that you still have a 50/50 chance of getting nausea each time you play and that it's a pain in the ass (or an additional expense) if you wear glasses, and the space requirement. It's not a surprise if the market is stalled.

    As for useful implementation, my cousin is an orthopedic surgeon and they use VR headset and 3D x-ray scanner, 3d printers and a whole bunch of sci-fi stuff to prep for operation, but they are not using a meta quest2, we're talking 50k headset and million dollar equipment. None of that does anything to the gaming market.

    My though is that the tech need to get a couple of order of magnitude better and be usable as a day to day computer for work. When I can code in one 10 hours a day without fucking up my eyes, vomiting myself, sweating like a pig and getting neck strain it will have the possibility to take over the computer market, until then, it's a gimmick.

  • How do you deploy in 10 seconds?

  • I mean for a hobby project that no one cares about sure. Otherwise the whole CI/CD process was invented exactly to avoid having devs push untested and untrackable crap on production servers. So once there are more than two people in a team and paying customers with access to a lawyer that's going to be a hard pass.

    Anyway the main reason your CI/CD are slow is that you're using $5 workers with 1Gb ram. There's a reason the build is faster on your 12 core/64Gb laptop, the issue is usually not the process, the issue is being cheap on the infrastructure. The only good thing about GitHub CI workers is that they are cheap but performance wise they are garbage.

  • Is this true about Generation gap in Piracy?

  • Oh don't get me started on modern "CS" curriculum of some schools, it's atrocious. I see them start learning about react and nodejs in year 1 because "that's what companies need" but that leaves them with massive fundamental knowledge gaps. I've seen people 5 years in their degree who struggled with Boolean logic.

    I believe they should start at the bottom of the stack and climb up instead of starting somewhere at the top and being left oblivious about the massive amount of stuff going on below. And the "internship" system we have in my country is massive BS. Basically instead of learning they spend 1/2 of their education time doing menial job in companies. Which means their 5 years degrees is barely 2.5 of actual school time but we still like to pretend it's equivalent to a normal masters degree.

    The "need of the industry" for "IT people" has lead to the proliferation of diploma mill curriculum that churn out monkeys lightly trained on the proverbial typewriter and calls them "software engineers".

    But we still have excellent schools that produce very well trained people, and I do not believe they produce less of them, it's just that we also produce a lot more that went through bad curriculums.

  • You make the same mistake as the previous person. You take the exemple of the minority of people who cared to try to understand how computer worked and generalize it to the entire gen.

    I have thousands of people in my office that prove everyday that millenial are for the most part tech illiterate and do not care about how thing works. I've seen the millenial arrive in the work env and the gen-z and there is absolutely no difference. Millenial were exactly as dumb (or as smart). If anything, I think gen-z are actually smarter because they come in not believing the corporate bullshit the X and the Y drank like cool-aid. But that's another topic.

    In any case, all the stuff we had to go through didn't make us smarter, for every 10,000 of people of my gen who learned they had to edit autoexec.bat to launch a game, I'd bet that barely one knew what the heck himem.sys actually was. That didn't make them smarter, just monkeys who learned a trick.

    So yeah, geeky gen-Z don't need to tweak as many parameters, they can directly launch fusion 360 and start designing parts for their 3D printers. Tech has moved on. Gen-Z geeks fiddle with other stuff than shitty windows drivers.
