No, but Rust is a contender.

He's likely talking about the Oculus Latency Tester (it covers up one of the eyes), it's unrelated.

You could use two different eyecups (containing different lenses) for each eye in the Rift. Could work if they happen to provide just the right kind of lens. Maybe differing focal depth could be dealt with in software? When you use the Rift

Thanks for the heads-up all! Looking forward to actually being able to distinguish Authenticator accounts on iOS 7.

I get the joke :) Although, taken literally, this is not the case. The existence of a variable in Lisp is not decoupled from its human-string-name, as Lisp source is textual. If you were to rename a variable, anything that referred to it (b

An ambition of mine is a programming language where the program structure is decoupled from its visual/textual appearance (model-view separation). One nice result of this scheme is, for example, you could work on a program in English a

The "stroking" term comes from Games People Play , FWIW. Really interesting read.

The future is hybrid. Source code will become non-textual in storage and VCS, but our editors (code lenses) will remain looking and feeling like text editors. (The danger in trying to invent a next-gen non-plaintext programming environment

I think it's really nice! Usually these flow-chart languages have difficult UI, but this one is pretty easy to mess around in. It would be good if, while clicking and dragging a new connection line that will replace an old one, the lat

The great thing about indirection is you can change what it points at. In the future we'll be running out of fossil fuels and generating electricity with same will be uneconomical compared to alternatives. It will be nice to have a mat

Rust is the anti-JVM. - Proper task isolation with pointer ownership. - No global GC. Task-local GC when needed, and explicit ownership otherwise. - Mozilla. - No NullPointerExceptions. Unsafe code is convenient when you need it.

FWIW I'm using the iOS 7 beta, and this behavior is inconsistently present. It works in nested lists, but other screens e.g. the music Now Playing screen don't do it at all. Hopefully it gets OS-wide integration. But hey, it'

Too bad mesh networking hasn't got off the ground in a big way (?). Couldn't individuals hoist weather balloons with mesh transmitters and build these sorts of networks bottom-up?

The same amount of information exists, but is normalized. The variable _definition_ absolutely will have a "name" annotation, but copying that name to each binding site is brittle. To render a binding, just dereference the pointer to the or

It's what we need. This became clear shortly after learning git--it's the right data structure for the problem. The hurdle is that hashes aren't user-friendly in a text-based code editor. We need an editor that lets us view and work at the

Will there be any possibility of running dev instances in OS X? Perhaps we'll be able to do brew install docker-compat at some point in the future and get a best-effort emulation layer even though the Linux APIs are missing. I hate messin

That's pretty much what I gleaned too. The paper specifies how an acceptable ("low-stretch") spanning tree is shaped, and bounds [something, error criterion?] as part of its complexity proof.

I would love to see a visualization of their algorithm iterating its loop rebalancing thing on a simple 2D graph. Maybe a weekend project... [removed: I was curious about the SDD requirement, but that's always the case for a graph Laplacian
