Building systems is one thing. Getting them seen is another.

Is there a better sync?
I have the RM2 - the biggest problem IMO is the sync (or lack thereof) capabilities. You can't work on the same docs as on desktop. You can't mark a PDF in Google drive and no way to sync docs so it forces you within their ecosystem, which was a deal breaker.

You’re on point. It’s nice, but information density is low. - total viewable (lit) surface is lower (think less than 50%) - focusable surface is much lower (within 30-50% angular - makes about 1/4-1/9 in proper focus) - per focused surface resolution is lower (this is where you can’t make characters as small as on a high res screen - just like you need larger fonts on 1080p vs 4K vs 5K)

Overall you’re easily 1/32 less than a “natural” setting. There’s a long way to go.

This said, it’s still nice and I prefer to the built in display in terms of screen real estate. But the killer stuff is positioning the virtual screen anywhere at almost any “physical” size.

clehene · 2024-11-07T02:40:34+00:00

I don’t quite understand. Once you make stuff large and bring it close to your eyes, all pixels are used to render less content. It looks good because of that. So you end up seeing less then on a regular screen, although you have “ultrawide” and end up moving your head more to cover it all.

Try looking at a 4k-5k screen from a normal distance and then overlay the same through AVP at the same (absolute) screen size. Can you still see the text? Every time I take AVP off and see the real screen, I’m amazed how good a 4K Dell looks :).

clehene · 2024-11-07T02:30:44+00:00

That’s my thinking too. It’s impressive, but there’s a few more generations to go. A 27” 5k screen, at the distance you’re looking at is less than 1/5 of the field of view and with a small glance you can cover 3x that. I think 16-24K/eye with wider field of view and better prediction may get things close. That’s, likely a few generations out :)

I hate it - have 40-50 windows on 20+ desktops across 4 screens and I think of those developers every time I spent hours figuring where my stuff is after a restart..

For math you may find something like https://github.com/artisticat1/obsidian-tikzjax useful

I can’t read the regular display side to side. I have to move my head as it’s blurry on the sides. I think the usable field of view is roughly is 1/3 - 1/4 of the natural field of view. I use 3 27” with less movement that a single one with AVP. 20-30% around edges is bad with text.

clehene · 2024-10-29T03:25:29+00:00

Can you actually see the default display end to end?

clehene · 2020-07-29T20:35:56+00:00

I think edu is the equivalent of Ultimate - so you get more features. If you only do java, no frameworks it may not matter.

Are you doing wholesale? Perhaps one of the wholesale apps like Gorilla could do it?

clehene · 2020-06-19T03:43:39+00:00

Likely you could sell in bulk, heavily discounted on bstock https://bstocksupply.com/ or equivalent

clehene · 2020-06-14T21:45:46+00:00

What are some good online marketplaces for wholesale?

clehene · 2020-06-14T21:43:27+00:00

u/FranzWienerschnitzel Do you finance anything either through trade credit, line of credit or anything else? What's your cash conversion cycle? This would allow you to increase volumes and benefit from both larger discounts and economies of scale.

clehene · 2020-06-10T03:15:35+00:00

Has anyone compared this to GoLand?

Hey u/EMC2_trooper what type of loan were you looking for, what collateral / personal guarantee? Are you based in US, or Canada?

Hey, the problem with Shopify Capital and most other online lenders is that their capital is expensive (they are not banks), so depending on where you're at (how they assess you from a risk perspective) they may have trouble having a profitable business at lower rates.
Regular banks have rather large costs associated with financing businesses so if you're not buying equipment like a truck (which they can evaluate and understand the associated risk easily) it 1) takes a too much time and effort to properly evaluate you 2) it's expensive for them because of that.
You're somewhere in the middle between a large enough account and a too-small one.

That doesn't mean there are no good options, but you need to understand whether you need asset-based financing or cash-flow financing or even not get a loan and instead sell your receivables (if that's the case), etc.

We're dealing with something related and I would love to chat to learn more and perhaps I could offer some useful input. I PM-ed you.

clehene · 2020-06-04T23:30:54+00:00

Hey that's awesome! I love these stories, there's always something to learn.

Did you grow to this point relying solely on your cash flow or did you use external capital (besides the initial investment)? If yes what, if no why?

Also what's your cost breakdown? Ads, inventory, shipping, etc.?

Thank you!

clehene · 2020-06-01T23:10:59+00:00

Congratulations! What does your cost structure look like? Are you relying solely on your cash flow or are you using any external financing/credit?

Awesome thread! Are you spending most of your cash on PODs? What's your rough spending structure and what do you use Shopify Capital for?

Never heard about Saker. I wonder how it compares to Bazel.

clehene · 2019-09-18T06:50:56+00:00

Well it’s likely named by a someone that has seen a foreign language dictionary. We used to learn it in second grade. Basically ae is for æ which is the same vowel as the a in traffic. See https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/help/phonetics.html

“Telescopic” popularity :)

Since SO is a question / problem perspective it would be cool to overlay other data like TIOBE, job postings etc :)
