Can you give an example where not using them 'inline' makes code harder to understand?

I love music (and am a musician), but I disagree that good music is scarce. Part of the issue here (among many others) is that music is fairly "evergreen", and certainly much more so than apps. Zillions of people are still listening to the Beatles and Bob Dylan (two examples of "good music") more than half a century later. I worry that the ever increasing catalog of recorded music is making it ever harder to gain mindshare as a musician.

I frequently think just before committing/pushing, "Time to add some comments!" That doesn't mean the code is fully finished, but it does provide a clear point in time to add them (when needed).

I have a ritual of watching through my queue of Youtube videos (on many topics) when I am preparing and eating breakfast each morning. It works well. I've been able to churn through so much useful content over the years that I wouldn't have normally watched.

I have thought about this phenomenon with regard to the internet a lot. Online it's easy to be exposed to videos and other content produced by people who are literally among the best in the world at anything. This means we start to measure ourselves against the most unforgiving yardstick imaginable, which makes being a noob (or even "normal") even more painful.

I have started doing this on days I go to the gym (3x per week) and anecdotally it has positive effects on how I feel mentally and physically. (And these effects have lasted after about 6 months of this practice.)

The same controller pose can correspond to different arm positions, so VR games/apps that do IK are making a guess that is generally going to be somewhat inaccurate. I do like the implementation in Lone Echo, though.

It's also worth noting that it's possible to "just want" something for reasons that one isn't consciously aware of (e.g., feeling physically attracted to markers of health and fertility).

There's nothing special about a job! If anything, I'd believe that someone who had the drive to do challenging activities on their own (and engage socially with others) is doing more for their mind and body than someone clocking in and out at a boring job.

What about a headset (or glasses, contacts, whatever) that can provide anything from AR-style world annotations to a full VR experience, or anything in between? I agree that AR is something you'd use all the time, like a smartphone, but I do think the distinction between AR and VR is a bit artificial and due to what is technologically possible right now. There are many current VR experiences that would port surprisingly easily to AR (e.g., Tilt Brush, Oculus Medium, table tennis games, etc.) if there were AR hardware that was currently good enough.

Out of curiosity, what $4000 VR setup are you showing people?

Can vouch for this, a few years ago I broke my ankle and was on crutches. During that time I got my only non-5-star Uber ratings.
