Has anyone had performance issues using JSONPath? We are processing large pieces of data per request in a node express service and we believe JSONPath is causing our service to lock up and slow down. We’ve seen the issue improve as we have started refactoring out JSONPath usage for vanilla iteration and conditional checks.

There are a lot of factors at play so we can’t quite put our thumb on JSONPath, but it’s the current suspect and curious if others have run into anything similar.

Agree with all of this. As a single parent though it’s hard to find the free time - for me, only during school hours (work time) or if I explicitly arrange child care, which is rare because well, usually I want to and am doing activities with my kid.

Being a younger dad relative to my kids age, it has been very isolating and challenging to find anyone who shares my lifestyle, my responsibilities, who can really understand the stage of life I am in. They are usually either very pre-kid and enjoy life independently, without much awareness or desire thereof to the responsibility of parenthood, or, they are on the opposite end and fully settled down and have forgotten what a city looks like after dark.

Software, cycling and pizza. Some of my favorite things in life. This project and write-up was thoroughly enjoyed, and has inspired some of my own similar ideas now! Cheers

Can you elaborate? Curious.

I’d love to hear what the inspiration for this was. Maybe just a code golf project for fun, but based on the author’s last blog post, something tells me the iceberg of inspiration runs deep.

My follow up question would be, how do you envision sharing a sheet? With someone right next to me, and with someone across the world. With or without internet access, seeing that this office suite is offline-first.

This is very cool.

What does VS Code provide here? The I/O + preview foundational capability? Could you install this as a plug-in to your desktop vs code instance?

+1. Blink does this great.

This is one of the coolest things I've seen on HN. I am definitely going to try to follow the instructions on this in the near future! I don't even play saxophone, but now I am not definitely going to learn. I would 100% buy one of these, if not 3 so I could give some as gifts.

Thanks for sharing and seriously, awesome project. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

Try horizon workroooms. To me, immersed is like Linux - tons of options, more features, but it’s a bit trickier to set up just right and things seem to not stay right, it takes constant adjustment.

Horizon workrooms was like using a Mac - it “just works” when I onboarded, less features but way less hassle. I much prefer it personally.

I question if any of these other commenters have actually tried the Quest Pro yet and specifically with 1) Horizon Workrooms and 2) a mac and 3) a supported tracked keyboard from apple or Logitech.

I was a complete Meta disbeliever and long time Quest owner, having put a few dozen hours into working in Immersed last year before putting it down and accepting it wasn’t good enough.

Fast forward to last weekend, give it a try with the setup described above instead. Proceeded to do a 9hr shift fully in VR. Went out, got the Pro, and now I am all in. We are there. Give it a shot, you can always return it right?

Also +1 to everything jedberg said in their comment, great advice.

So, interesting stuff! I had my installation appointment, the guy came out and proceeded to tell me that the 5k plan would be useless to me. I asked why - apparently switches have not progressed at the same speed. Latest MBPs for example only support up to ~1300Mbps via wifi (however could support up to 10Gb bandwidth via Ethernet.) Most of my devices I use via wifi anyways. I have 1 Pi plugged in. I guess most hardware only has a 1k switch in it these days?

With that new info, I decided to stick to my 1k plan until more hardware catches up.

Same thing happened to me about 5 months ago. I ended up email the CEO. Had an executive relations staffer email me back within minutes, and I had my number back within about a day. YMMV.

Saw your comment, went to my ATT internet account, and just upgraded from 1k to 5k! I’m so happy, thanks!

Flashlight is awesome. How about a camera…
