I've used nreal air.

The good: - Great form factor - Image quality for screen mirroring is great - Display has good brightness - Decent speakers

The bad: - Nebula (AR software that allows projecting multiple screens) has a worse image quality (I see some flickering). It's also buggy (e.g. it doesn't work on latest MacOS) - Slightly heavy. You would start feeling the weight on your ears after wearing it for an hour or so. - When screen mirroring an M1 Mac, the display settings on Mac doesn't allow you to resize the screen. It works on an Intel Mac though.

Eventually I decided to return it as I want to wait for the device to mature and I don't really have a strong need for AR glasses at this time. I'd be looking forward to their next version.

I think the current AR glasses (Nreal, Rokid, etc) are probably at the same level of maturity as smart watches when they first came out in the early to mid 2010s.

I asked "Dumbledore" a question. It gave the answer along with a "learn more" button which ended up being a link to PDF of the book. It shows up only for one particular question. Seems like a bug?
So what are some good tools to obfuscate style?

Because incentives. The beauty of crypto/web3 is to reward the service providers with incentives for their services. Nobody is going to provide things for free and even if they do it won't be sustainable in the long run.
It guess it's not hard to put a deletion timer and send warning emails before actual deletion. Not every service out there requires you to send an email to delete your account.
It looks promising. I was going to create an account to try it but then I stopped. Their privacy policy states I would have to send an email to delete my account data. Why do people make it harder to remove an account when the sign up process so easy?

I'm really looking forward to using this project when it's stable. I briefly experimented with their Python SDK to try and record metrics but their documentation seemed either out of date or non-existent for some features. I'll wait for them to reach 1.0 in the hope that the documentation gets better and existing issues are resolved.
Do you think it's better than workflowy?
What benefits do you see in fish when compared to zsh?
This video explains the double slit experiment using probabilities and it's the only one that made sense to me without bringing in quantum mystery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyN27R7UDnI&feature=share

It also goes on to explain the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment but I don't think that's quite convincing.

One way to scale up / down workers in Buildbot is to have more workers defined in the configuration than actually needed with generic names (e.g. worker1, worker2, etc) and then start / stop them when required.

Agree with you on the waterfall UI regression. It seems console view is preferred than waterfall in the recent versions. It's slower than waterfall UI though.
