Re:Facebook will start putting ads in Oculus Quest apps on Wednesday June 16, 2021 @03:54PM (#27532743)
I was just starting to come around to the idea of buying a Quest 2 :(

I had a CV1, but sold it some years ago, I found the usb-attached lighthouses too messy for my setup. Ideally I would like to get rid of the headset cable as well. I pretty much only played Beat Saber so Quest 2 would have been perfect!

I guess it's time to order a Valve Index?

Re:In Stockholm there's currently an IT battle underway on Saturday March 27, 2021 @07:51AM (#26601652)
In case anyone wants to read some research on the success rate of IT projects Standish Group's Chaos Reports are a good place to start.

I read the 2014 one as a part of our project management uni course, but couldn't find it with a simple Google search so here's the 2015 one:

This one could work with the right delivery! Triangles (the musical instruments) make a ding sound when played so just try to imitate that when you say the word thing :)

Seconded.

I'm taking a professional reporting course at my uni and I feel like lurking here has paid off at least a little bit.

Bloomberg has a probably similar article[1] that doesn't have a hard paywall. I used it during a uni leadership course for a short essay and found it informative. Just wanted to drop the link here in case anyone's interested.

Re:Learn Lua in 15 Minutes (2013) on Wednesday July 01, 2020 @04:03AM (#23699034)
Can anyone recommend IDEs for Lua? I've used Visual Studio Community for C# and Eclipse for Java and been really happy with them. Mainly looking for code auto-completion and debugger. Right now I'm doing a small game with C# and Otter2d, but Lua with löve2d seems interesting.
