I go for “yinz” then, and tell them not to discriminate against my Pittsburgh area heritage

That's one of the best guitar UIs I've seen on a computer.

Yea, I'm trying to figure out how to attend. I've been PD approved to go, but I can't figure out how to plan around getting a ticket, booking airfare, etc

I had the Oculus DK1, and now have a Meta Quest 2. I haven't had reason to boot it in the past... year?

I love the idea of the Apple Vision Pro 2, but its wildly expensive and it sounds too heavy to wear for very long throughout the day unless you're reclined. I'd just use it for virtual screens for development and in my workshop ideally - but that requires me moving around, and the weight makes that a no-go.

I'm into these things, but they still just aren't there yet- and the ecosystem is still lacking geniune investment beyond HL:A and some cool tech demos.

Rust makes you solve many of your problems upfront, which is a nice feedback loop for using with an LLM. Go does much of this too, but I feel Rust is more experessive and takes the frontloading a bit further.

I just installed Steam on Ubuntu yesterday, and I'm impressed at the progress so far. A HUGE number of titles run flawlessly.

Soooo close, but I have a 4 floor house. Talk to me when it does stairs.

Now… why is Jira so painfully slow? Even changing the type of a ticket or moving it takes like 20 clicks and a minute

But when you hit that wall, it is hard to stop and convince people to use different patterns and systems. I've seen so many tables go from "it will only be a few thousand rows" to suddenly several TB and then people are looking confused when performance and db admin tasks get really difficult.

I'm working at a scale where almost every day I have to ask people "are you use you need to treat that as relational data? It doesn't seem relational"
