I’ve owned a half dozen VR headsets, starting with Oculus DK2 up to the Vision Pro. I currently use both the Vision Pro and a Meta Quest 3.

The software in the apple product is like nothing else on the market I’ve used. It’s not a perfect product, not even a great one really, but Apple have done a great job making VR/AR in their own style and I have a lot of optimism for this product line in their hands going forward. There’s a fair bit of new in visionOS that nobody else has done yet.

I don’t know what the BoM cost is for AVP1, but it’s almost certainly a lot higher than other flagship headsets on the market.

In what way do you feel like apple laptops are just fancy tablets?

One of those exceptions is to be 65 years or older. Guess who that disproportionately benefits?

There are better editors to learn if your goal is to not learn vi.

In vi, search is not only used for searching, but also for navigation. Demoting search from an easy-to-reach single key to a difficult-to-press chorded key combination breaks one of vi’s core philosophies, natural editing flow, and will significantly reduce your enjoyment and efficiency using the editor.

I spent a decade as a full time Tcl developer and even I don’t use fossil.

You literally used the word “than” in your comment just now.

Thanks for helping demonstrate the dynamic I was describing

I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut when my liberal/progressive friends discuss gun control. The left side of that debate is marbled with misunderstandings, misrepresentations of fact, and flawed reasoning.

Gun control isn’t a very important issue to me, but much of the liberal side of the debate just makes me cringe. I’ve learned to just shut up about it, though, because when I speak up I usually get shouted down and abused for going against the groupthink.

No fucking way I ever vote Republican again, though.

Full totality here on a mostly cloudy day. We did get a few peeks of the sun, but mostly it just got dark and cold for 3 minutes.

Awesome! I dig the name and really love the backstory you shared in another comment. Go live your best life!
