i’ve run into this issue with pthread_cancel

it makes cleanup logic convoluted when you can’t easily pthread_cleanup_push, forcing you to either block on the join or signal cancellation and detach

i agree with your sentiment, and them botching the license was clearly a problem, but at the same time i think a dev waives their right to be indignant about someone forking and commercializing their code when they provide a perpetual, irrevocable, commercial license to do so. if continue was GPL’d or something i would respect the uproar more

you assume professionalism and technical ability are positively correlated. my anecdotal observations would lean the other way but i have no data to substantiate this on

i do disagree with the methodology of the paper though - adherence to standards is a metric of conformance to a status quo, which as someone else’s comment points out feels like the midwit meme

this is incredibly negative but lacks examples, could you back your statements up with evidence or ease off the hyperbole? the middle ground is the worst

this comment is a masterclass in advertising

start relatable: “my experience” add reinforcing detail: works well with fx2 hw add negative experience: bad for analog logic introduce habit trigger: next time use ngscopeclient for analog logic

fixed function compression on-die would be interesting if applied to this

This was listed as an action that undermines trust. You agree with the author

Good point, the sensor count exponentiates and the optics get a lot more complicated if you want a fully integrated system. Nothing on the market I know of but with where we are on the scaling curves now might be the time to try something like it - you could put together a basic proof of concept with a load of commercial sensor elements and wide angle lenses on a sphere. Eventually you can consolidate the central sensors and lenses into concentric hemispheres. You can reduce the data volume by narrowing the camera angles eventually too

Not sure there’s a market but maybe with VR stereo 360 becomes more valuable, who knows. Technologically doable though

Responses so far say to optimize neck latency or use a joystick but why not use a 360 camera and handle it in reprojection. First pass could literally be a gopro or insta360 streaming to the headset and you could eventually integrate cameras and do the stitching yourself. The tech already exists and works, and it removes moving parts and actuators
