e542 with Michael, Andy and Michael – Stories and discussion on programming language localization, Virtual Boy hardware & emulation, LEGO terrestrial & orbital dwellings and a whole lot more.
Michael, Andy and Michael get things rolling with an article on programming language localization, specifically using the Welsh language as syntax. Next, the co hosts consider Matt Ballentine’s thoughtful post about the the speed of technological change, and the recommendations to capitalize on the innovation that is happening.
Then, the team takes a look at the Virtual Boy hardware, newly made available by Nintendo for the Switch and Switch 2. This reminds Michael R of the View-Master and a Vision Pro emulator for the Virtual Boy. Next up is a story about a Quest 3 virtual keyboard. The experience Michael R had back in 2017 with a laser keyboard was a good reference, as is his more recent VR experience in using a hardware keyboard with his Vision Pro.
Rounding out this episode are a pair of LEGO stories – the first, a replica of a 1799 house and a of the Project Hail Mary spacecraft. Check out the links below for the awesomeness.
