The world belongs to people who code. Those who dont understand will be left behind.

Finally VR is coming to the mass market http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/11/oculus-reveals-its-consumer-rift-headset/
Three long years after Oculus unveiled its VR headset to the world, it now finally has one ready for consumers. Say hello to the Rift headset that you can actually buy. It features two OLED screens that promises clarity, low-persistence flickering and a wide field of view. It also has a tracking system which CEO Brendan Iribe says has a very low latency movement that the company has refined over the years. They’ve also integrated a pair of headphones into the headset itself, which Iribe says has that 360-degree spatialized audio that’s so integral to a more immersive environment (And yes, you can remove them to add your own headphones). Indeed, the entire headset has been redesigned with comfort in mind. It’s lighter, it’s covered in fabric for a softer touch and there’s also a dial that you can use to adjust the distance between your eyes (also known as the interpupillary distance). And if you wear glasses? No problem, because you can now swap out different faceplates that fits those of us with corrective lenses as well. Interestingly, there’s also now an external sensor that you can put on your desk, which replaces the webcam-like sensor from earlier Oculus headsets.

MongoDB is now at 3.0, using the WiredTiger storage engine, and they have a new C# driver which moves almost everything to async tasks. They still support the old operations, but those have been moved to the Legacy namespace.
I don’t want to be stuck using old deprecated code, and some MongoDB methods are actually deprecated already. Instead of changing nearly every method (up the stack) to support async tasks, I’m using the Wait method for now to retrieve the data synchronously. I know, it defeats the purpose, but that’s too much code to update for now.
There’s not that much documentation for edge cases (especially for arrays). The release notes for MongoDB server state improved “explain” support, but I can’t find it in the C# methods anymore.
