I personally could never get very exited about AR apps that simply insert digital objects in the real world. Using AR to modify the world though opens up a lot of possibilities and I've been throughly impressed with how well ARKit can pull this effect off too. It even works great on the five year old iPhone 6s.
Give the app a try and let me know if you have any feedback/questions
Yes, at the moment only Linux is supported for the server. But please upvote the relevant issues so we know which other platforms people are most interested in running Code server on: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/24
Thanks for the info - I think I would personally be much more interested in trying out VSCode as my main editor if I knew I could also SSH Remote to MacOS as well as Docker containers and the like.
If you have questions about the technical details of the project, I'd be happy to try answering them. It's been fun to use this retro tech in a really impractical way, and being able to see individual bits of data is neat.
I like the concept of attacks that are successful not because they are effective but because they preoccupy the target and waste disproportionate amounts of time trying to defend against. Time Sink Attacks (or TSA if you will)
Have any companies in the market been successful going the premium route? A service that costs a lot but is designed for the best user experience and outcomes? Maybe they interview potential members in person and work to ensure the “marketplace” has a good balance. Or maybe they take a more active role in the pairing. Starts sounding like a matchmaker.
For a dating service company not to be overly incentivized to keep users swiping forever, a membership model like with a country club could also work: a large upfront fee to join and then maybe a smaller reoccurring fee to maintain membership.
The first world war is a bad example. While the war was absolutely started by royalty, they did send their sons to the front to die along with commoners.
> Although the great majority of casualties in WW1 were from the working class, the social and political elite were hit disproportionately hard by WW1. Their sons provided the junior officers whose job it was to lead the way over the top and expose themselves to the greatest danger as an example to their men.
> Some 12% of the British army's ordinary soldiers were killed during the war, compared with 17% of its officers. Eton alone lost more than 1,000 former pupils - 20% of those who served. UK wartime Prime Minister Herbert Asquith lost a son, while future Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law lost two. Anthony Eden lost two brothers, another brother of his was terribly wounded, and an uncle was captured.
The hubris of the British at the time, where they fully believed that the war would only last a few weeks and they'd be 'Home for Christmas', is mainly what led to many sons of the Upper Class willingly signing up to fight in droves.
Alas, as we all know, the war lasted a lot longer than 'a few weeks'.
WW1 directly impacted the ability of many large estates across the UK to survive beyond the 1940s. It changed the cultural and class landscape of the UK significantly.
This has probably been thought, at least publicly, about almost every offensive war waged by a democratic nation. Few civilizations (there are exceptions) would stomach a war that they knew from the outset would last for years.
Cousins King George V and Tsar Nicholas II actually made a concerted effort to mediate with another cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II. However he seemed to be more influenced by his war-mongering generals, especially Von Moltke. If the blame for starting the war can be laid at any door, it is his.
Timequake is also a great one if you've enjoyed his other work
I taught how to be sociable with ink on paper. I told
my students that when they were writing they should be
good dates on blind dates, should show strangers good
times. Alternatively, they should run really nice
whorehouses, come one, come all, although they were in
fact working in perfect solitude. I said I expected
them to do this with nothing but idiosyncratic
arrangements in horizontal lines of twenty-six phonetic
symbols, ten numbers, and maybe eight punctuation
marks, because it wasn't anything that hadn't been done
before.
— Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut
Timequake is one of my favourites too, but really every Vonnegut book I have read is a treat.
Sure the Bible might be the greatest story ever told, but the most popular story is about a couple who has a good time fornicating, but then stops for one reason or another while it is still a novelty.
I work on VS Code. You can disable VS Code telemetry and even disable all built-in online services if you like. This is documented on the website [1]
However VS Code cannot block the extensions that you install from collecting their own telemetry. Even if use a version of VS Code built from source, an extension that you install could still collect telemetry of its own. Same applies to most software that allows third party plugins (unless they do some serious sandboxing/capability restriction, or only allow installing specifically vetted plugins)
It would be nicer if they made it clearer when they inform you during the installation. All I saw was that they collect, and I can turn the setting off, but it wouldn't turn off all collections.
