How is this any different from a person groping your avatar in second life? The display is just different. If this is tantamount to assault then the zombies in the last VR game I played need to be behind bars. And the kids in VR chat that do silly things to others.

You can take the headset off at any time. Unless of course, Poe’s law. But I think I’m just an outlier of opinion here. I’ve used VR heavily since oculus dk1 days.

I think folks are buying into marketing too heavily. It’s just a different display medium

Re:Show HN: IR stove thermometer, firmware in Rust on Sunday December 19, 2021 @07:02PM (#29619986)
What are some resources you’d recommend for me to understand this level of firmware development better? I’d love to understand it a bit deeper than a quick code review
My honest answer is Ritalin. I occasionally use it to get into a groove again and it helps me explore new interests that I can continue the momentum with off the prescription. This might be controversial and or unhelpful, but it’s my personal experience with this. My job is steady and well paid, so I don’t want to move to a stressful startup. I also have adhd since childhood, so YMMV.

You can use them while they’re charging
That’s how it’s pronounced, no?
This sound like the hair brained rhetoric a cat parasite host would cough up

I believe if you look at their genetics they fit snugly within the tree of life
I do not disagree with you one bit, and appreciate the thoughtful response. Though tinder and other dating apps do not have age verification either. We probably need photo id verifications
It’s a joke my dude
I’ve used it simply to make friends. It’s not always about sex
Re:My mindfulness practice led me to meltdown on Tuesday July 20, 2021 @10:08PM (#27901552)
Anecdotally mindfulness increases my neuroticism by becoming too self aware. I’m curious if anyone else experiences this?
Would you kindly briefly define “compositional agglomerative syncretic approaches”?
“I” create dozens of ephemeral terraform deployments for every iaas every day using terraform so I don’t have this luxury. Do you have any suggestions for keeping tabs on automated systems beyond spend anomalies?
I hope your friend can seek another doctor if this is debilitating. Empathy doesn’t always get a fair voice in prescribing guidelines / decisions
I’m a skeptic of this, but couldn’t you control oxygen levels in industrial scale indoor grows?

Edit: this isn’t cannabis. Keeping post because lol

Re:New dark matter map reveals cosmic mystery on Saturday May 29, 2021 @12:18AM (#27322998)
Those are all example of observable phenomena. Dark matter is an inference made by inconsistencies with theory. I think they’re vastly different because it overstates the certainty. Maybe I’m splitting hairs
Anecdotally I experienced chest pain after my Pfizer vaccine. I’m not claiming it’s anything but coincidence, though this does raise my concern slightly.
Isn’t that in line with the GME community. They also bet against the short sellers
I can type far more words than i can spell
Re:The mortifying ordeal of pairing all day on Tuesday May 11, 2021 @08:45PM (#27125395)
It’s funny you mention ThoughtWorks, I’m happily (enough) employed right now. But I’ve thought about applying for years. I appreciate the offer :)

I have ADHD and pairing is liberating. I don’t need medicine, I can stay focused and motivated for years. I’m seriously worried that I’ll have to get back on medicine because the pairing opportunities in the industry are becoming so far and few between. If anyone has recommendations I’m all ears (and eyes)!
Yeah there aren’t three fixed points of either disbelief, true middle ground, or belief. It’s a spectrum and I fall more towards the disbelief point in this case, but that doesn’t stop me from critically evaluating the possibility that I’m on the wrong end of the spectrum
This is how programming generally feels to me. I love having written a useful / interesting tool or function, but sometimes getting started is like pulling teeth.
