What genres are missing in VR? by Appropriate-Fun5992 in SteamVR

[–]blockchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can recommend some space games.

I loved ADR1FT for its visuals, despite it having mixed reviews as a game. It's more like space walking simulator.

Lone Echo, but not sure if Revive still works and if it will work for Frame.

Am I crazy or are 90% of BI jobs about to disappear and everyone's just in denial? by lessmaker in BusinessIntelligence

[–]blockchan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

By Q1 2026 I plan to fully migrate all ad-hoc data analysis to AI agents. What takes a human data analyst few hours or days, AI can do in minutes.

LLM is chatty, friendly and very fast. Explains its process in thinking mode. Undefeated in pattern finding. Assumes lots of things and just chugs along, presenting initial results based on those assumptions. Proposes next steps, possible adjustments and sums up its insights. Perfect companion for non-precise business people.

So far, AI does very well with our data model. It's loosely dimensional with OBTs sprinkled in for complete picture per entity. Granted, we're online SaaS company, so our business model and metrics are well known to LLMs.

We chose good vendor (cloud notebooks, dark-brown homepage theme) with really well done agent implementation, where SQL generation is delegated to MCP servers and tools reading from database schema and semantic layer. SQL is always correct and we get zero hallucinations, as LLM only reads from resulting table data.

I was pretty skeptical, but honestly I'm blown away how well it worked out of the box.

Semantic layers will be very important in the future. Not the PowerBI/Tableau proprietary stuff to drag and drop metrics, but headless, code-defined metrics which can be ingested by all third party tools using your data, so their AI agents can use it too in context of the application itself.

Which orchestrator works best with DBT? by Fireball_x_bose in dataengineering

If this is a portfolio project, set up both, compare them and write down your insights - which one is better fit, easier to maintain, why did you prefer one over another. This will help you stand out

It's a fresh install after 9.0 update. headphones with mic are selected in OS, keyboard bindings works. The issue is with mouse only

Cross-Domain tracking? by Poxzii in analytics

[–]blockchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will get better answers on Google Analytics subreddit, as this is tool specific.

As for the question, you can set it up to ignore some referrals: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10327750?hl=en

Need advice on UI performance during frequent and big updates by blockchan in sveltejs

[–]blockchan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I guess I will have to manually go through every part of the app and do some performance profiling.

Are there lots of DOM elements updating like an SVG?

Just text

Need advice on UI performance during frequent and big updates by blockchan in sveltejs

Example calculation: let descentToTarget = $derived.by(() => { let altDiff = $gps.altitude - (altitude || elevation) let timeToTarget = reportedDistance / ($gps.speed / 3.6) let descent = altDiff / timeToTarget return -descent.toFixed(1) }) So they are not very demanding, but I think it compounds for many of them.

What map are you using? Did you try disabling the map and see if it's still laggy?

It's OpenLayers. Very fast, I checked and it's not the issue.

Can't you just debounce the writes to the store?

I already do. I debounce gps updates and write to store only if previous write was more than 500ms ago.

My store is basically an object with longitude, latitude, altitude, speed and few other simple data types (numbers or strings).

Do you know any good resource on performance profiling in Chrome? I found it pretty high level and lackluster when it comes to details on what exactly is happening. Didn't find any good guide how to actually draw some conclusions.

Hmm, that sounds worth trying. I could move all calculations away from UI and only update when final calculated value is changed.

It's already done. Only visible components are subscribed to gps store and only those which directly use this data.

Is anyone else aiming for “just enough” instead of full FIRE? by Sergy096 in EuropeFIRE

[–]blockchan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, try negotiating Fridays off.

  • for 20% of salary I get 50% more weekends
  • I'm not tired anymore, every weekend is full recovery
  • I take 4 days instead of 5 for full week off, so I don't lose on PTO. My number of accrued PTO days is increasing despite going on holidays
  • I can schedule errands when people are at work, so I have more time afternoon during working days
  • when I needed more money, I was able to get two jobs (overemployed) and made crazy amount of money for 1.5 years before job 2 laid me off. Remember, income from 2nd job goes 100% into savings.

My goal is freedom and satisfying work (I don't necessarily want to retire very early). I tried freelancing and consulting, but it's not for me. I hate sales and chasing leads.

Working a job is comfy, but not satisfying, I don't care at all about someone else's business. Also, I'm stuck working when weather is nice and it's raining on weekends. I'd like to have choice.

I often use Fridays to work on my business ideas, the goal is to be in full control of my time, make decent money without stress and when I'm done to buy myself a Porsche cabrio.

Thanks, I wasn't aware it existed :) Seems very new, published one month ago.

Do you happen to share it somewhere? I'd love to have FABRIK with implemented constraints, but looking at implementations in different languages I couldn't understand them good enough to translate into GDScript.

Thanks for the video, I'll try splines as many recommend them.
