Who? A farmer? A real estate speaker who is trying to convince you that you should start investing in real estate after buying his extra videos?

But not overnight. Change, despite claims otherwise, is always gradual.
Cars? Gradual
Cell phones? Gradual.
OO programming? Gradual.
And VR claims of business productivity increases are not new.
So where is your evidence of programmers that are switching to using VR for programming (and not programming for VR spaces.)
Or any substantive use in business spaces? For example VR games, porn and real estate online walk throughs have existed for years but none are over taking their business domain space. Do you have an example where it is?

I just watched the bloody presentation and thought it was interesting... I commented that the TechCrunch author was wrong that Apple was promoting it mostly as business tool. Take your argument to Apple - not me.

When you said "It’s all relative and times change" that certainly seemed like that was your opinion and that you were suggesting that in the future that it was possible.
That is what I responded to.

My comment was meant more generally.
Times do change. People that use and program computers should know this better than anyone. Sometimes change occurs very gradually, sometimes in fits and jumps.
Again, I have no idea if Apples AR thingy will be a success or a failure OR if will get any traction at all in business. Probably depends on how Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc... react to it.

Hi,
Anyone here used RFID, 13.56 band to be precise? I think the project I'm on is not using it correctly. I was an RFID guru but the company I was in got screwed by a customers non-payment and the skills weren't kept upto date...

You might want to search in PLC / SPS Forums, we usually work with RFID a lot too, sadly I am more like you, I haven't touch it for years and I forgot a big lot of information.

I actually answered so to a newbie I started to train back then. He got me with a question I could not answer on the moment and he started "lecturing" me. A while later (had to check something first), I answered him (dismounting some of the arguments he had previously said) and when he was about to say something I added "And for the record, I have already forgotten more than what you have learned so far". His face was priceless 
On a side note... I don't actually envy photographic memory, but I could use a bit more of retentive in my brain

years ago I started actively not remembering details but remembering where to FIND the detail.

That has been my way of doing things for most part of my life. In College, I always asked the teachers for allowance for doing a piece of paper with the most difficult formulas (that they would check before I start my exam), when he asked why, I answered because I have problems remembering them, my way of learning concentrates in the how not always in the what, I know how the processes work, I do recognise the correct formula when I see it, I know how to use it, I know what happens if you change the one or the other parameter, but I will probably write it wrong if I have to do it by heart, and that will make me lose a lot of points, just because I wrote a "+" where a "-" goes and in the real world 99% of the people won't remember it anyways after a couple of weeks after the exam, but I will be able to re-use it within 5 minutes looking a book years after the exam.
I not only got allowance in many cases, some teachers started to do such a formulae attachment for the exams themselves.

I've touched HF RFID a few times. I do pressure sensitive labeling and had a customer a few years ago that needed a label printer that did HF. Most brands do UHF for for EPC applications. Walmart is pushing for item level tagging so general RFID interest has picked up again.
Another one of our customers uses HF for uniforms for laundry sorting. Those are more permanent tags.

I thought "hey, I'll integrate a documentation search into my website documentation"
https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx/wiki/index.md[^]
So I created an account with Algolia and spent more than an hour on it only to determine that their deprecated web crawler that they won't let me use would work fine (if they let me at its results) but the one in production won't follow links.
How do you make a paying service with a web crawler that doesn't follow links? Seems like an important feature for a crawler, no? Like, only the whole reason for its existence in the first place.
It gets my goat from a professional standpoint when people release things like this and then charge money for them.
I asked them to delete my account. Instead they want me to troubleshoot this with them. I told them to pay me.
We'll see how that goes.
