A father's account of using Amblyotube, a visual rehabilitation application on Meta Quest, to help his 14-year-old son Thomas, who has moderate amblyopia in his left eye. The application uses dichoptic vision training with two independent video feeds to help improve binocular vision and stereopsis. Thomas tested the application for 35 minutes, watching a gaming video, and reported feeling his left eye working and not noticing the therapy as a constraint.

The Half-Life Layer — Or, "It Passed in March" Is Not the Same as "It Passes Now"

Somewhere in your repository there is a test that passed in March. It passed against a schema that has since gained two columns, a dependency that has since changed its default timeout, and a traffic…
