    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/3…

    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.…

    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 a…

    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 …

    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…

    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 el…

    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 wo…

    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 uni…

    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 environm…

    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 do…

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

    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 th…

    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 versio…
