It's not okay regardless who is doing it.


Or - it is okay depending on who does it.


I mean using (Keybase) https://keybase.io/ is pretty easy


I created an account there and never used it ever again, same for most people I know. Even the rock stars featured there don't seem to be using it. Also, in what world is a cli tool with a git-like interface "pretty easy" outside of the tiny world of computer programmers?


Same here. I set up a Keybase account and never used it. And I'm somebody who actually uses PGP every day.


I have a keybase account that I used it the other day to have a few secrets sent to me from various sources. I have to say, even as a complete geek, I wasn't that thrilled with the experience.

I have a new machine so I had to go through the setup process. First I had to install node/npm, and then their stuff, and then some other PGP apps. The whole thing felt really clumsy.

I'm a bit of encryption novice, but for what I get, it feels like the openssl tools on my mac should be able to do everything without having to jump through all the hoops.

Then there's the user experience on the other side. I had to send people to the keybase page to get them to generate the message and then email / send that to me. That's annoying and probably verges on terrifying for non-geeks.

Afterwards I thought to myself, why can't I sent up an html / js page with my public key in? It would have a single box called "Send something to me" and it could do the encryption client side and then fire me an email, or stick it in firebase, or whatever.

I know this doesn't solve all of the issues (trust etc) but when I'm just trying to give customers a way of getting me a password or something without them sending it via email it goes a long way and removes a lot of the friction.


this is specifically the problem they are trying to solve, too


One click encryption is one click too many


Wow, time to build one of these for drugs


Free GPS location tracker and opaque baseband processor included!


Also not all coders are well paid :(


Wow, I wish there was something like this for JS


Once this is all over, I'd be happy to write up a road map for how I did it! Maybe someone in the JS world will pick up the banner.


Awesome, I look forward to it!


Maybe a lack of resources out there or Google thinks if you learn a more generic language you will mold easier


Maybe they're a large company and Go is a system's language used by a subset of the company. And maybe it's not important to learn for general technical development with no specific problem to solve.


Go is only recently popular, so very few past successful candidates had Go experience, so recruiters wouldn't notice it.


Well the Warcraft Franchise is older IIRC


Linux support when


They currently have a Linux SDK on developer.oculus.com, so looks like Linux support now, for the hardware they've already shipped. Third-party games are a different matter, but that's less inside their control.


I think utilizing the SDK is a bit different than a run time (Which both OSX and Windows have)


For the OSX and Windows versions, the SDK package actually includes both development tools (headers, etc) and the runtime; the only reason to offer a package which leaves out the development stuff, is to make the download smaller, which seems unimportant.

You can get a sense of where the Linux support currently stands by looking at share.oculus.com, where third-party developers can submit their games and demos, and you can filter the list by which operating systems they support.


Oh okay, thank you :)


As a software engineer near Venice FL in his early 20s there isn't a lot to do here still. I guess some people do enjoy going to the beach a lot but it definitely gets old.


Great outdoor activities (saltwater & freshwater fishing, myakka river, camping, pretty awesome parks, beach obviously). I personally hate the beach--sand, salt, and sunburn are three of my least favorite things.

Venice YMCA has a ton of offerings--rock wall, skate park, basketball gym, adult leagues, etc.

You have pretty much every other normal amenity, like theaters & community college.

Tampa isn't far for theme parks, concerts, etc.

You're missing having a hometown bar scene, but those aren't too far anyway (and the 20-somethings make do with what's available, anyway).

What do you feel like you're missing?


Is there a link to an actual tutorial?
