Not really- "releasing" implies a regular person could buy it... No human being outside of Theranos was ever allowed to be in the same room as an Edison machine.

Despite this, I think they still deserve some credit for actually releasing something. I was on the Magic Leap hate train, but now that they actually released their gimpy headset I'm actually kinda rooting for them.

I suspect that the developers of the top 100 rift games (i.e. the games that are actually pretty good and have made some money) will be enormously incentivized to find ways to scale down the visuals a bit because of the easy money they woul

It sounds like it uses the same optics as the existing Oculus Go device- These are arguably quite good (i.e. you can watch an HD movie quite well and get the full experience) but certainly they are still short of matching "Actual Reali

My 7yo daughter and I have the Oculus Go headsets and are able to find quite a few fun multiplayer games- This new headset will at minimum support the Go library. Maybe around 5% of games have multiplayer support, so out of the 200 or so de

You're assuming that people will make zero compromises to use VR- I think this is wrong, given the utility of a VR system. I could have just as easily have said when the original iPhone came out "It will look too nerdy to be stari

The Go is pretty cool, but the lack of 6DOF and the limited game catalog really limit its viability. This new device addresses both of these issues (since many Rift games can now be ported over pretty easily)

I think you could be on to something- I kinda agree this could be the "iPad" of VR. The Oculus Go is already pretty awesome, but it is hampered by a still somewhat limited library and the lack of 6DOF is definitely frustrating- Si

To be fair, John Carmack almost certainly would need to sign off on any tracking solution that Oculus releases, and he takes FPS and latency issues very very seriously. Keep in mind Oculus has had a "stand alone" headset available

Well, his columns were often bad and often wrong, but people will forgive a lot as long as your columns aren't boring.

This looks awesome, but the methodology and experimental setup look pretty complicated and just on that basis alone it seems like there'd be some risk of bias or overfitting to creep into the analysis... I'm not criticizing the re

First of all, this looks like a great project... ...but the problem I've always had with these types of systems is that there's always that one item on your to-do list which ends up more complicated than you expected: So at the en

I see your point, but I've never once run into any issues with these minor syntax differences when building libraries shared between clj & cljs.

It's pretty awesome now that graph query languages (graphQL, etc) are so popular: Lots of reuse possibilities when you use the same query language for updating the browser state and also updating server side actions.

Well, auto-qualified names are a matter of taste. I agree 100% though that the CL reader macro system is a dream.

Yeah, I think many Clojurians would mildly agree some changes to how nil is handled would be nice... but this is such a fundamental behavior that it's very hard to justify modifying the language at this point for just a minor benefit.
978.
by drcode 8y ago
The Clojure macro system is very similar to the Common Lisp one, arguably with some improvements- The Lisp languages in the Scheme/Racket family, on the other hand, have a different (more safety-oriented) approach to macros.

Certainly, clojurescript makes it possible to do productive React development without having to resort to JSX for syntactic sugar- This comes from the "create your own language" nature of lisp languages, which is leveraged by the

Clearly you have thought deeply on this issue. I can agree insofar that I think that I think it would be reasonable for student loans to be dischargable by bankruptcy IF we can have changes to the bankruptcy law to make it carry stronger de

In order to invoke the "not a zero sum" defense you have to also give a rational argument as to who specifically should hand over their money to pay for this and why their interests have less societal benefit, so that the sum of t

Thanks, nice to have a single person agree with me. That said, I also agree that my personal situation (be it through luck or responsible behavior) now makes it possible for me to be generous to others, and I'm certainly happy to pay e
