They spoke directly at op and you responded for some reason. Op made an iOS only app and that’s most likely why they referred to them as ‘an apple guy’.

Nobody was saying “everyone who owns a Mac Mini” or “everyone who ever has published an iOS app” is ‘an Apple guy’.

Anyway, for the same reason, just because you make an iOS only app doesn't make you an "apple guy".

Not Tweakers!!

Seriously though. I don’t know what’s best. Taking everything down or not.. I just run a small time SaaS.

Major Japanese services like pixiv and e-commerce platforms have elected to turn off services until patches are available. If you're smaller than pixiv, you can afford to go down for a few hours.

Aw, where's the fun in that! Much more interesting to apply random mitigations from untrusted sources like "bombcar" and then

    tail -F /var/log/access_log | grep --line-buffered -v -E '"(GET|HEAD) '

Take it down, nobody knows the risks of keeping things online at the moment.

At least Albert Heijn works! You can watch the web die with a 6pack pepernotencola

The risk is real and large.

And the work to clean up if you get compromised is massive.

I personally started to differentiate between “agent(ically) assisted development” (AAD if you will) and “vibe coding”

The former is professionals using a tool to get shit done, the latter is hobbyists rambling stuff together that works for their one happy flow, so to speak.

This sounds like a former CEO I used to work with. Huddled an entire team into a meeting g bc he wanted an update, proceeded to talk through 80% of the meeting time.

End result: someone was appointed to send an email with the update.

If you look at the monitor, the Shopify logo fits between the thumb and index finger, I suppose that's the only small thing about Shopify, lol.

All joking aside, I don't think most of us consider Shopify as a small company. I personally hope that Tailwind stays around after this acquisition. I was there when Shopify bought Remix and that project is as good as dead in the water now.

I liked remix so much, very sad it ended up in a graveyard

‘Actively maintained’

Wasn’t that the promise of crypto currency? To have programmable, digital money?

Interesting. I would not think of age when someone requests “cleaner and more polished”. My mind translates that to “nicer UI”

"Polishing" is something you do over time, and requires usage over time together with refinements, you can't spend a couple of hours refining the UI and suddenly it's "polished", at least in my mind.

Your eyes are still looking at an object (roughly?) 10cm away from your face: the screens. Your eyes are not adjusting focus. Any focus (or blur) you see in VR is simulated depth.

So yes, the issue is indeed the distance where your eyes are focussing, caused by the fact that they're constantly focussing on something very close to your face.

My optician told me its like stretching your arm while holding something heavy. At first that's no problem. But eventually your muscles will start burning and you can't hold it and even when you relax your arm it still hurts if you held it for too long.

As far as I'm aware there are no VR headsets yet that adjust the live generated depth vision based on the diaphragm of your eyes. That would be wild.

> Your eyes are still looking at an object (roughly?) 10cm away from your face: the screens. Your eyes are not adjusting focus

Technically you can absolutely have something close to your face but focus your eyes far away. If you wear glasses you do that all the time. Just imagine that your glasses are like screens that reproject what's behind them.

You're not totally wrong because there are two components to focusing, one is rotating eyes according to how far is the object and another adjusting each eye's lens. AR/VR can cause them to mismatch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergence%E2%80%93accommodation...

However the screen imitates focal plane a bit in the distance and THAT's where your eyes are focusing. There's still can be a mismatch because it's a fixed distance, but your eyes are NOT focusing like you strapped a phone to your head which is what you are implying.

(Actually I heard AVP dev guidelines recommend to avoid putting objects too far and too close to keep everything near focal plane probably to miminize the mismatch.)

Why. This is again thinking from solely a profit perspective and revenue for shareholders. Users don’t want extra half-assed crap just because the company can scrape a little more revenue this way.

They do one thing great apparently. I know many people that cannot be convinced to switch away from Dropbox.

i agree. but the parent was talking about share price. my point is exactly that "a profit perspective and revenue for shareholders" i.e. driving the share price up. if that's not the goal great, i would love if more companies took that approach. as long as employees are happy (ie their comp doesn't assume stock growth like many do), good for them
