I’m in the middle of a day of catchup (after a week of Meta hackathon immersion) so promised myself I would just glance at this enough to get a sense of the story then read the rest later this week.

Well, 5000 words later it was a worthy distraction. Amanda should write a book!

Took a break from writing about Meta to publish this beautiful window into 2014 from Amanda Watson.

Something like 5K words, I recommend taking your time with it.

This was an apology I wrote to my university when I was a senior. I always intended to send it, but ultimately put it off.

Hopefully this counts.

It sucks that, at the end of the day, these were small, closed-door meetings without witnesses, and anyone who was there probably isn’t incentivized to give an accurate account.

…except for me! Because I worked late nights and those office walls didn’t work.

I'm so incredibly excited to share our biggest release yet!

We just pushed 'multiplayer' to Fluid, which means that you can collaboratively work/browse/watch with others in VR.

I would have killed for this in college when I lived 1,000 miles away from my girlfriend.

The future is about to arrive!

The next generation 3D tablet is almost here, and I can’t wait for the world to see it. New chip, better screen, lighter weight, and more.

Tune in to MWC to learn more about the successor to the Lume Pad 2 and Nubia Pad 3D!

eric provencher Niclas Johansson Guy Godin 'VR latency must be under 20ms' is an important but out-of-date statement, and it's unfortunate no one's provided an updated explanation.

Basically: in 2012ish, Abrash and Carmack wrote that the delay between the time when head motion happens and when that motion is realized on
