A study claims 78% of business professionals would participate in more immersive experiences such as the metaverse as opposed to boring old video conferencing. It can't be any worse than regular meetings, can it? Can it?
Ignoring the expense, the possible motion sickness, and walking non-tech folk into it, of course.

Yikes! Well, I do hear that VR is popular with some for that reason.

I suspect at least one clickbait title will give us details in the future, but I don't look forward to it.

No way I am going to let Zuckeberg have a 3D scan of me for the Avatar.
If my employer adopts it and want me to do it... Either there is a way to do it with a "default" avatar or I'll search for a new job.

If you could use an avatar of Gilbert Gottfried, and have AI get the voice right, it could be kind of fun.

Then I could even start thinking of it.

For nearly the entire history of application developmentācertainly since application development became available to a larger market with the adoption of the personal computer for expansive business useātesting has taken a back seat across most of the industry. So it was on the final exam
Posted as I enjoyed, "When DevOps came along, I expected things to changeāuntil I understood that DevOps (and Agile, in lockstep) was all about delivering faster, not better."

Quote: or nearly the entire history of application development
if the entire history is only the last 10 years. when physically shipped software was a thing, guess what, TESTING.
Personal Computer, so, 70s/80s. š¤testing was a thing.
and today, what this person things new iphone OS goes out with out massive testing.
but yeah, why test against 1001 different machine configurations for issues with testing against 900 is good enough.

Bringing WebAssembly and OCI containers together could enable us to run the same container image on any hardware or operating system we wantāwherever it runs best, fastest, or cheapest. The thrill of cross-platform, the agony of debugging everywhere
Complete with the mental image of a falling skier, if you're of a certain age.

That was always my favorite clip as a kid. Especially when the skier got up and walked away.

Too bad he didn't get a royalty every time it was shown and if he didn't fall, absolutely NO ONE would know about him (aside from friends and family [for the pedantic]).
Iāve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Amazon is trying to build a better culture for its software development teamsāand developers everywhere can take a few lessons from the effort. They sold the book on it

But was that book available in Kindle, paperback and Audible formats?

They should start by getting rid of the euphemism "software builder." We're programmers for god's sake, call us what we are.

Anyone who signs up for access to DALL-E will get 50 credits free and then 15 more free credits every month after that. Each credit can be used to generate a single image, a variation of an image, or for āinpaintingā and āoutpaintingā (editing the contents of an image or extending an image beyond its existing boundaries). In case you really need a drawing of 'Emo Abraham Lincoln with an ice cream cone'
or whatever

Users have reported seeing "water damage" and other types of distortion when looking up images from the cloud. This is why you store your old photos in a water-proof cloud
The theme for today seems to be image compression.

I suppose that the "AI" scanning the content to extrapolate more data about the users is still learning and the "leave no traces" skill is not high enough yet.

A group of more than a dozen companies launched an organization to advocate for less-restrictive software licensing rules, targeting cloud providers like Microsoft Corp., whose contract policies have been under fire from rivals, customers and lawmakers. Click 'OK' to sign your life away

We may be seeing the end of legalized software lock-in. Even with more lenient and liberalized license agreements though, technical lock-in will still be a powerful incentive and impediment to different technologies.

Lossy compression bypasses text-to-image portions of Stable Diffusion with interesting results. Then they came for the compression algorithms and I did nothing as I was running out of disc space
