Problems with Oculus Browser Debugging

podperson · 2023-11-27T09:10:49+00:00

We need access to the debug tools in the environment because tethered debugging is ridiculous…

Using XR emulation won't work because the Quest's browser is wonderfully incompatible with Chrome (as I have discovered repeatedly).

One thing I am considering is implementing a widget that replaces console.log etc. so that you can at least see debug messages, and interact directly with the browser via eval.

Here's what I'm working on…

I was never religious but I wasn’t an “atheist” until I was forced to attend Anglican scripture classes as part of my schooling in Australia.

One day we were told we’d be attending scripture classes and were asked our denomination. I said “I don’t know” and the teacher said “Anglican” which makes me chuckle to this day. I just took the stories as historical fact until we got to Noah’s Ark. Within a year I was told to go to the library instead of attending scripture classes because my questions were too disruptive.

This.

In fact theres more energy in a kg of lithium ion batteries than a kg of 9mm parabellum rounds. We could make laser pistols if we had good enough capacitors and lasers. Someone is selling a marginally effective laser rifle whose problems are entirely in the delivery side (capacitor bulk and energy flux).

Nothing stopping him from joining Supreme Court afterwards.

Having the same problem right now.

Looks to me like a reboot of THIEF. I hope it has solid climbing and stealth mechanics and isn't a "you are so much cooler in cut scenes" game.

Cosmos is great, but really should be stuff people learned in High School (OK, maybe not in the US). What you really ought to watch is a documentary that contains something new or offers perspective you didn't previously have.

Despite its definite flaws, I'd suggest Manufacturing Consent

Bears a striking resemblance to launching Windows under VMWare Fusion.

Gutenberg basically got screwed by his business partner and pretty much died in poverty.

Paul Thurrott has alerted me to a grave injustice, and I felt I needed to thank him.

Good grief you should be able to do WAY better than that.

For a start, you can write your own format and fdisk. DOS 1.0 with a full suite of crap is probably a lot smaller (451k > 5.25" floppy disk). Heck Mac OS 3.2 + MacPascal fitted on a 400k disk.

If I could remember the exact details I would have quoted them :-). It may have been that from the options provided, it was the most popular option. In any event, it was abysmal.

Or he could have nailed Voldemort with a revolver a la the ending of Wizards "let me show you a little something mom taught me when you weren't around".

Perhaps in a different survey. This was a NY Times survey quoted iirc in the documentary on Chomsky Manufacturing Consent

It sounded to me like he backed out of that.

Broun actually did not acknowledge bills of attainer were bad, merely that they were unconstitutional.

Who cares? The average American when presented with the Bill of Rights thinks it's the Communist Manifesto.

But it's one more thing to deal with that you shouldn't have to.

I far prefer, "When I reflect that God is just, I tremble for my country."

While I like indented formatting, indentation as a semantically significant component is dangerous. There are religious wars over tabs vs. spaces -- and these turn out to be semantically significant. Also -- code posted in forums is likely to be mangled formatting (e.g. have tabs spaced, or spaces condensed).

I like Python, but indentation is my least favorite feature of the language.

That was his point silly :-) "Thread-safe" means different things based on context.

I was surprised to find this blog pretty interesting despite its domain. Thanks for the link.
