This thread caused me to check out juggler. A couple hours later, I'm playing with it. This is awesome, really great work.

I’m tried to understand the motivation for this salty comment and the parent comment. I failed. Then I opened the user’s comment history and most of their comments are like this. ModernMech, please, keep in mind we’re all doing our best. Being passive aggressive on the internet is social pollution. No offense intended, I’m just hoping you reflect a bit next time before you post.

This is almost spooky... it produced the results of my typical google research process. Thanks for this, I'm impressed.

How hard would it be to do a comparative analysis, say of Vision Pro, Oculus, and Quest? Does that capability exist? Or is it more of a summarization/vision board thing?

The UI looks great, btw.

from my experience, this is all 100% accurate. medtech is a shit show.

however, from another perspective, it's exactly the type of "schlep" that mints millionaires.

totally agree. i think it's why many many many tech managers aren't technical. most truly technical people cannot put up with the cognitive dissonance required to convincingly say one thing while believing the opposite.

cool. how about a comment on its usefulness? code quality? breadth of TOS it has ratings for?

"it's been around for years" doesn't add much value.

He wasn't doing that at all. His point was that autism skews male and then suggests that the traits of Aspergers make good programmers. It was a comment on why there are more men than women in tech fields. Relevant excerpt below:

"In an earlier post I noted that many software developers I've known have traits of Aspergers. Aspergers is a spectrum disorder; the more severe the symptoms, the closer it is to autism. And did you know that autism skews heavily towards males at a 4:1 ratio?

Interesting. I might even go so far as to say some of those traits are what makes one good at programming."

we have one side of the story, for fuck's sake. the other side--the github side? it's lawyer-speak and completely devoid of anything that addresses the specific accusations.

how so many ostensibly smart people can simultaneously lose their ability to think critically is incredible. add the word "gender" to anything and people lose their minds.

i've been playing with elixir for a little while. i'm still wrapping my head around all its metaprogramming goodness, but so far it's been a fun journey.

also, jose valim must have clones of himself.

i usually don't jump into these debates, but your comment strikes me as at best impossibly naive and at worst inexcusably ignorant. take a look at the various laws being passed to disenfranchise minority/elderly voters. look at the misinformation being spread via special interest-controlled media. read up on Edward Snowden. "victim blaming" is 100% what you're doing here.

i agree with your stance that action needs to be taken, but completely disagree that we have "no one to blame but ourselves".
