Nice vapor-tech.

Well, they forgot that hardware needs an actual purpose once you're done with the market of people who purchase any new overpriced gadget to use as status symbol.
Setting timers for eggs and pasta isn't one.
Oh I agree. Once you already have a PC or a console the added experience of a VR headset isn't a great value proposition for the price.
It's mostly the price. If you have 500 or even 1000 to invest to play games, first that puts you squarely in the top 1% worldwide but more importantly a VR headset is the worst choice in terms of breadth of games you can play. So the first choice will always be a PC or a console which leave the VR headset for the people who actually have 2k+ to spend for gaming and actually want one. A tiny tiny minority.
If you add on top of it that you still have a 50/50 chance of getting nausea each time you play and that it's a pain in the ass (or an additional expense) if you wear glasses, and the space requirement. It's not a surprise if the market is stalled.
As for useful implementation, my cousin is an orthopedic surgeon and they use VR headset and 3D x-ray scanner, 3d printers and a whole bunch of sci-fi stuff to prep for operation, but they are not using a meta quest2, we're talking 50k headset and million dollar equipment. None of that does anything to the gaming market.
My though is that the tech need to get a couple of order of magnitude better and be usable as a day to day computer for work. When I can code in one 10 hours a day without fucking up my eyes, vomiting myself, sweating like a pig and getting neck strain it will have the possibility to take over the computer market, until then, it's a gimmick.
I think they have one per country. Feel free to apply here if you have in-depth knowledge and contact in the french political scene:
I mean for a hobby project that no one cares about sure. Otherwise the whole CI/CD process was invented exactly to avoid having devs push untested and untrackable crap on production servers. So once there are more than two people in a team and paying customers with access to a lawyer that's going to be a hard pass.
Anyway the main reason your CI/CD are slow is that you're using $5 workers with 1Gb ram. There's a reason the build is faster on your 12 core/64Gb laptop, the issue is usually not the process, the issue is being cheap on the infrastructure. The only good thing about GitHub CI workers is that they are cheap but performance wise they are garbage.
You don't technically need docker though. It's just a convenience layer.
Something amorphous talking about donuts.
Elder Scroll Arena 12 ftw !
And I don't understand why we should care if it's unique as long as it's fun.
I'll tell you if you give me the dimension of the pool in standard banana units.
Seems aligned with Trump's habit of shafting his sub-contractors.
Apple's ram is hand carved by blindfolded virgins with only the light of a blood moon. Thus the price.
