Tofu Dreg kills people.

I am not sure about putting human lives as an operand in win/loss arithmetic, like some typical resource. China is not in a hot war.

It's more about not having to perform a ritual before using the headset, like making sure the controllers are charged, and picking them up.

When you are holding controllers, you can't interact with the environment and people around you naturally, like how Apple showed it in the videos, before "reversing" the ritual.

Apple also wants users to plug it in and use it all day. You can't do that with the limit of controller battery.

Given how their software offerings and datacenter network have expanded over the years, I think the price increase is fair.

At the end of the day, this is optional and hidden by default.

Compared to command + tab or exposé, this approach is more visual and direct, which seems to be a better fit for a form factor that offers much more screen real estate.

I guess this is the cost Apple is willing to pay to ease mac and ipad users into reality OS.

Hey sometimes all you need is just one anchor point.

Do you have hobbies that you ceased to practice for whatever reason? Kids, career.

Maybe this is the time to pick it up again. Engage however you like, interact with the community when you feel like.

I signed up within the first few hours of beta announcement. Still haven't got it.

I understand they want to get it "right" before opening up to the majority, but project management isn't something a business can sit and wait. People have to use some other tool in the mean time, and once having invested time and effort they won't switch back easily.

They are incentivized to avoid confrontation with the west. But the question is whether they will face confrontations.

Right after the Biden administration has taken over, we immediately see Myanmar Coup, Russian persecution of oppositions, China sailing to Japan's Senkaku Islands, not to mention China's constant provocation in Taiwan's airspace.

They are testing the limit the Biden administration. And if it's like the Obama era, the USA won't react in any meaningful manner. The EU, which looks up to the US, can't do much.

How will invading Taiwan benefit China?

Great info in the article. I wonder if there's data segmented by age group.

As a Hongkonger myself, I'd say culturally we are more like Taiwan than Singapore. We don't really see culture influences from Singapore here. I'm not sure if they export any at all. In contrast, we enjoy Taiwan pop songs, TV shows, and movies a lot. And Hong Kong-Taipei has long been one of the world's busiest plane routes[0].

Taiwan's economy is growing, but Singapore definitely benefits most from Hong Kong's downfall. MNCs have already started migrating Asia HQ to Singapore. So I suspect ambitious young professionals, who wish to stay in Asia, will follow the flow of capital and opportunities to Singapore, whereas others will choose Taiwan.

Hong Kong is the antonym of affordable.

You can "install" the PWA to launcher homepage. If it's accessed via the homepage shortcut, the address bar would be hidden.

On the GCP mobile app for example, not all feature is exposed, but there is a cloud shell, with which you can do pretty much anything you want.

Thank you This looks amazing!

On Observable, you have the option to keep notebooks and the data inside private.

I am stunned by the fact that such seemingly complex and beautiful patterns we could see in the nature[0] can be generated with simple and elegant code, when the coder is well-versed in math and data structure.

Gets me thinking: our sophisticated world is created using layers upon layers of derived probabilistic algorithms, and the top layer may well be just one simple algorithm.

It isn't exactly straight forward for those without experience. But if you follow the steps closely, for example [0], it takes 15 minutes tops.

I've never been a Tesla owner, so I'm not speaking of experience. But from what I see on various YouTube reviews, in urban areas, it's pretty close.

Are there anything specific that you feel are nowhere close?

If all he did was to not speak up, your argument is totally valid. But the truth is he actively tried to silent others by saying Daryl Morey was "misinformed and not educated on the situation", when nobody asked for his opinion about the matter.

Despite the growing population, we collectively have and will have enough resources to feed everyone on earth.

The major problem is skewed consumption and wastage due to structural poverty. That should be our focus, rather than expanding to another planet.

It can be difficult to orchestrate years and layers of adjusted statistics to tell a consistent story.

Cities, provinces, and the central government all have their own agendas and different reasons to lie. They don't necessarily do cross checks before publishing their own data.

Metaverse is what I'm thinking.

Won't be surprised if one day Microsoft pulls off a product that combines Hololens and Minecraft, i.e. a much better version of Minecraft Earth.

Interesting that there's no mention of agile tools like Project cards, issue dependencies, etc..

I wonder if the plan to incorporate features from Azure DevOps is still on-going.

Bitwarden. The integration with the OS will never be as tight as Apple's baked-in solution, but it's as good as it can get.

I also convinced my employer company to use it.

Definitely. That happened not too long ago:

We share the same direction of thinking.

I think China's greatest threat comes from within. And the brinkmanship is at supply-side structural reform VS unemployment.

The risk has never been this high, given

1. belt and road initiative is already half-busted

2. drastic drop of foreign demand due to pandemic

3. cry for decoupling from all wealthy nations

And see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q8oQGBcFdo

My point is: the Chinese government has been trying to tell people that they don't need to work in the city. They could work in a rural farm and lead a simple life, albeit earning close to nothing.

Likewise. Firestore client API is nice and convenient, but it is so limiting on queries. One has to know the limitations and plan ahead on how to model the data around them, or risk the ability to do even some fundamental queries [0].

Yes. Coming from a CS background, I'm accustomed to mapping problems to relational data. Everything can be stored in an RDBMS.

However, I often work in a one man band, and need to push out production ready system in weeks. In these cases, as a compromise, I choose a managed NoSQL database as it requires less code and DevOps work to be up and running. It's not ideal.

I wonder if there is something similar for NoSQL?

For me it's much harder to plan for NoSQL databases. It's relatively easy to draw ER diagram for a relational database, as all in my mind are the problem and data model. With NoSQL database however, I need to take into account how the client(s) works at the same time.
