Which AR glasses? I'm looking more for a travel MacBook virtual display that doesn't weigh so much as the Vision Pro. I would gladly trade away most of the Vision Pro features, but I'm also a huge snob about pixel density so remains to be seen if I can tolerate alternatives.

3+ year old XREAL Air AR Glasses.

I bought them to code more effectively on my laptop at my then girlfriend (now wife)'s house. The display was too pixely and distracting for me to code on. However, its plenty good enough for videos.

For videos I mostly use it with my phone (16 pro). Some apps are great (Netflix, AppleTV) and are smart enough to turn off the iPhone screen. Others (VLC, HBO) leave the screen on and burn battery at 2x-3x the rate of AppleTV or Netflix. I can watch AppleTV or Netflix on a coast-to-coast flight an still have plenty of battery left over. With HBO I use probably 20% battery per hour.


I think I understand what it does and it looks interesting and appealing. My team would need Ruby support. Not sure if you'll be able to connect the graph properly in Ruby, but it might still be useful.


We would need ruby support too.

Beyond that, if my MR/PR has two (or more) logical commits, will the tool support reviewing each in isolation? Often times, I will do a refactor in the first commit, and have a second commit with the new feature that makes use of the refactor. Reviewing it all together can result in muddying the water.

Another thought: if I edit a function to call a different function defined elsewhere in my codebase, is there a way to include that functions definition into the canvas (either by the author in preparation for a reviewer, or by the reviewer) to facilitate verifying the behavior across this new boundary?


You can review each commit in isolation! Also, you can CMD+Click on that new function and it should create a view of that function on the canvas, along with a connector.


Ruby is now supported on Haystack!


Ruby is now supported on Haystack and it should have a graph connected correctly!


We can get it working with Ruby ASAP!


The law firm I work for (as lead software engineer) did the TN thing for a Canadian software engineer hire for my team last year. [I was not involved in the paperwork but] my understanding is we got an immigration lawyer to help us write everything the right way, since we had not done it before (and lawyers specialize), and it was not especially expensive and it all worked out quite quickly.


Remarkably clear, straightforward, and useful material.


Ordered, and I'm grateful you showed HN. One of my teenage sons is a brilliant improviser, and I'm thrilled at the idea of having a plug-and-play way to capture what he plays.


I have done, and I’m pretty comfortable working for hours in it, but I generally only use it for work when I’m away from my home office, so nowhere close to daily.

...did not subdue anger in the participants _as much as throwing it away did_.

Just writing it down and filing it also seemed to help, just not as much.


This might just be the sort of people and companies I hang out with, but at my last gig two of the other three developers on my team had failed startup founder in their career history. Ditto the product manager at my current role and some chunk of my local tech friends. Job market is always changing, but it hasn't been an obstacle for people I know, and when hiring I see it as something to talk about but not likely to be a problem.


I was glad to have the opportunity to try it, and I’ll probably try it again, but I only made it two minutes into my five minute singing bowls immersion before I got too annoyed with the experience and stopped. (I’m easily annoyed with meditation, too, fwiw.)


What kind of "annoyed" can I ask?
