Go vs. Swift [pdf] 10 years ago

I have a note about that:

Note that Go does support a ‘println’ function that does not require import- ing from the standard library; however, this function reports to ‘stderr’, rather than ‘stdout’, and is not guaranteed to stay in the language 19.

This paper definitely has a lot of room for elaboration and improvement. There are some open issues in the repo for things I'd like to add at some point when I have the time, feel free to open new issues if there are other things you think are missing--I'm also welcome to contributions if you'd like to make a PR.

Go vs. Swift [pdf] 10 years ago

Because it's nice to learn how to use new tools? Hadn't used LaTeX before and saw this as a good learning opportunity for getting started. I'm confused as to what is wrong with writing this piece with LaTeX?

Go vs. Swift [pdf] 10 years ago

This definitely is a basic comparison. If you didn't see in the readme, this was a paper for a course I took and definitely has a lot of areas that could use more elaboration or detail. There are some open issues for things I'd like to add at some point when I have the time, feel free to open new issues if there are other things you think are missing!

One of the co-founders of this company, just to be transparent about that, but the vibrations are definitely precise enough to create distinguishable shapes and patterns on the skin.

We're using linear resonant actuators, rather than the ERMs normally found in wearable devices and personal electronics, because they allow us to have precise control over the intensity of the vibration we're creating. We take advantage of this and the psychological phenomenon of tactile illusions in order to create the sensation of vibrations that actually move from one place to another on the surface of your skin--allowing us to convey an upcoming turn or the passage of time just through your sense of touch.

We're excited to be building our startup here in Phoenix. 8 months out of the year, the weather is fantastic. Burn rate is much lower than it would be in/around SF, our money goes much farther here. Great large public research institutions at ASU/UA is a great outlet for finding talent.

Hey arch2! I'm sorry you found the post hard to read, thank you though for the feedback. Were you referring to the blog post specifically being repetitive or was there something about our website copy that you found repetitive? We are always trying to improve the content we are putting out.
