I'm curious about this to. Does anyone know if there are steps that one could use with Xcode to see if any of these files exist?

FOVE is the first VR start up working on eye tracking for this very reason. http://www.getfove.com

I'm saying there are use cases for node. Maybe not as ideal of core infrastructure where scalability and latency are of the most important. But there may be use cases where a new engineer could contribute faster, cleaner, and more effectively with node. An amazing engineer with node, can do far greater things than a mediocre engineer in golang, or what ever the fashion language of the year is. Node has its place, and should be respected.

This is also just troll. An engineer looks at a tool, as it is. Sometimes a plastic screw may be better than a steel one. Look at any tool as it is, not as a religion.

There is research behind this, not sure why the down vote.
Although considering the comment being replied is a throw away account, I imagine that person is also a moderator who doesn't like debate to their troll comment.

As in have you ever heard the term, "program in node". If we lived our lives to only technical definitions it would not be a good one.

Linguistics would beg to differ.

It may sound like simple advice, but preparedness. Know who is interviewing, when, what everyone is covering, and how long it will be. The worst interviews lack of communication and coordination. The actual interview doesn't matter that much, as the culture is most likely already defined, so just test and question what you hold as important as a company.

Reverse hype is hype. Node is a high level language that is quite good. It might not be as fast as go or c, but it doesn't need to be to be useful. Don't blame the langue, blame the programmer.

Agree with everything you're saying here. But the argument reminds me of a similar one, where the established industry leaders try and define what skills and processes go into cinema. Such as no sound vs sound, or film vs digital. The fact that it's story telling on a screen is what in my mind defines cinema.
There is cinematography in current virtual storytelling, such as firewatch, life is strange, and grand theft auto. While none of those are VR, they could be adopted to that medium as well. Cinematography is much more than camera angle, and lens choice, imo, especially in the digitally generated world. There are other techniques to lead the viewers attention, not so different than techniques used on a well made imax.
Also of interesting note, 360 moving image recording is not new, and has been around since the 1950s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle-Vision_360°

"Cinema doesn't have sound. Sound doesn't belong in cinema. True directors can tell stories without sound."
Cinema has always embraced technological innovations. There is nothing that says cinema has to be a shared experience. Semantics.

Agreed. Also "twice" isn't really impressive in most technology. If it was an order of magnitude then "crush" might be more appropriate to use here.

The term "midcentury" does not seem appropriate anymore. Y2K.
