  • I’d rather a Mac than a Windows box. At least you get a proper shell (zsh or bash - zsh is the default now I think), python installed by default, can install package managers (macports, brew), can get coreutils, etc and most FOSS software from the Linux world runs since macs are UNIX at heart.

    I’m pretty sure cd isn’t even coreutils but implemented by shells as a wrapper for chdir/fchdir which is part of the kernel. Which has always bugged me since you can’t reliably pipe or redirect to cd since shells do things differently; it doesn’t handle stdin or the last component of a command runs in a subshell so doesn’t affect your current shell, blah blah.









  • If you have studied or work with numbers, components shift from system 2 to 1 depending on your experience.

    I, too, just had to glance at 550 to know it was 250+ since 500/2=250 and that fact is just baked in there somewhere without me needed to think about division. And since it’s the same thing again with the 50, it doesn’t take more than a fraction of a second to do 250+25…

    But my system 1 never thought 225.


  • Not entirely true. They’ll have black and white cameras at launch and have an expansion port on the front of the device for potential color cameras in the future.

    They just said AR isn’t their focus for this device, not that it isn’t possible.

    And I get it - everyone I know that already has XR headsets doesn’t bother with AR as the experiences are limited (and I imagine the union between AR gamers and tidy environments with clear surfaces is pretty small).
