I filed a bug that this was not spoken about in the announcement. It would seems like it will cause a lot of drama as this actually rolls out. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33980

You know I'd rather see some of these chrome books with 8g and still in the $300 range. But thanks, that's actually a nice little machine.

Yes and the 8g models of chromebook (there are 2 right?) are $750+

I'd be interested but ... 4gig ram. Nice screens, reasonable processing power but they throttle the ram to make you want to spend the $500-750 for the "power" of.... 8 gigs of ram. But with the bloat of a useless(to me) windo

Also universally supported across time. People have no sense that they might want to look at something in 10-20 years in that web service that was so handy at the time...

I agree that the incidentals like tracking and form will matter a lot. I think however there is no "proof of existence" of any software or capability that would compel even early adopters to use a 100x100 display, even with all th

That is a pretty bad article about VR that might have been excusable in 2013 but is not on firm ground in 2017 much less 2018. Broadly, almost everything in it has been either not born out (vision concerns) or less of a problem then first a

I suggest you spend some time reading his pretty extensive set of high quality articles on many companies and aspects of AR. This is an industry where outsiders have a very limited understanding of the serious serious problems in front of A

Yes this article seems to be redefining "web brutalism" to be a simple recoloring of the same wretched over designed unusable webpages that "web brutalism" was a reaction to.

Thank you for writing this it was just what I wanted :) What is your sense of the latency guarantees/scheduling to user space graphics and input? This is an area that everything else kind of fails at. "No drawing the groundplane a

I'd really like this to evolve into a standard thing in our linux distros. By which I mean apt-get'able, which it looks very close to. I have no interest in the play store but I would like my lineageos/fdroid userspace availa

Tags are great BUT It's pretty important to realize that a files position is merely it's default tag (and you can tag it further with many different types of systems like extended attributes, as I think both Gnome and KDE have use

I'm sorry you didn't move forward with the state machine integrations. I think some core primitives and conventions exposed at the language level would have developed it into a uniquely useful language environment.

Weird... it's as if text was really important in computing and having a tool at the center that excelled at processing text put you in more fluid control of your computing environment.

I understand that viewpoint but I think the WebVR will be isolating(the normal web doesn't work) and lack uptake until, for example, github.com can be used directly within VR. I don't believe github themselves will make a native c

Given the state of text tools do you think it would it be viable to pipe a Readability Redux scrape into Aframe?

So in looking forward to a time when people actually want a VR focused browsing experience and just for WebVR/WebGL there is this HUGE gap missing. Where is the "HTMLTexture" support (the hacks for it are janky and not viable

I've never been attracted to the idea of partial application. Without it a function is either in state 0 or 1. It's not called or it has been called. With partial application in the mix, functions are in an almost indeterminate st

If this were designed to seamlessly interoperate with Calibre (a filesystem and sqlite3 iirc) this would be potentially useful to me. I could more confidently selfhost a web version of my calibre library for reading and bookmarking. Calibre

The single screencast is pretty compelling, I'd suggest just screencasting everything from the examples and adding to your landing page. Don't have an immediate use but I like it.

Having seen most of those proposed in one form or another in the past my response is about the same. Can't see any of them being worth putting a headset on. Can't see any of them being worth launching an app on a phone to stare th

I'm glad to see this, I'll enjoy experimenting (probably via the aframe ar api) BUT What are the useful applications for AR outside of verticals? I've not seen anything compelling in the phone only incarnation. The headsets h
