- Commissioning a script to automate something is expensive, plus you need to find the talent who can automate it and do a reasonable good job of it. It's sometimes a risky investment.

- If ready-made robots (and scripts) were available on the market, the employer would definitely use that instead

Yes, to make the analogy better, say the gardener invented the robot while on your "gardening time".

Edit: Writing a script might be expensive, but is the market price of this script really a lifetime of data-entry salary? Seems unlikely, or we would not see as much automation.

Where is Windows 9?

TypeScript isn't a higher level of JavaScript, it's ES6 with added features and types.

Main purpose is to make JavaScript code easier to maintain, especially across teams.

IMO the only way to go "higher level" is to use something like jQuery.

Docker for Windows is unfortunately a bit gimped right now:

- docker-compose isn't OS agnostic and as versions go forward Windows is lagging behind

- this uses Hyper-V which blocks both Virtualbox and Vmware from running

Running on Windows too now! :)

Hey Harish, thanks for your talk at the March London Django Meetup.

I'm starting to play around with Google Container service as you suggested, having a good time.

Welcome!

I believe that Peacekeeper/Browsermark give a lot of weight to WebGL and related computations, which aren't currently optimised in Edge.

Octane and SunSpider give more weight to the rest.

It'd be very impressive if Edge was faster all round.

It would obviously be an upscaled resolution in games. 4k is for the screen door effect.

4k is necessary for readable text, ability to watch HD movies and using virtual monitors. Currently the resolution is too low for any of these, as in it works but not good enough for being practical.

There is no correlation between the screen door effect and resolution.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I read that the screen door effect were even less visible in the Sony Morpheus prototype, even though it had less resolution than the Crescent Bay prototype.

I think the general consensus is that it helps, but also other ticks help like the diamond shaped pixels in the HTC Vive.

Current resolution still not works well with viewing virtual screens e.g. movies, virtual desktops and text. I think this is much more important as it increases practicality of the device.

I would wait for Q1 2016 for an upgrade.

The new PASCAL Nvidia cards will be out and so will the new Intel chips will be releasing this August (with potentially a progression to 7nm next year).

Well it's suggested that sleeping too long or less may affect quality of life, not just length.

So why not length and quality of life together?

Obviously that would be ideal, but it's easier to determine what is improving the quality of your life (since you have direct, immediate feedback) vs. what is improving the length of your life (where you won't find out for years and by then it will be too late).
