Valve has released a beta update for SteamVR that improves image quality for streaming to autonomous headsets compatible with Steam Link, such as Meta Quest, HTC Vive Focus, and PICO. The update enhances the fidelity of the stream, which is important for applications beyond gaming, such as scientific visualization. In molecular visualization, high image quality is crucial for accurately rendering complex structures, and Steam Link's improvements in resolution, latency, and color fidelity can benefit applications like NexoPeek, a VR laboratory for molecular analysis on Meta Quest.

NexoPeek offers educational and analysis tools, including narrated tours, a professional PDB reader, and AI-powered pocket prediction.

Freeze the Clock Before You Refactor: Characterization Tests for Impure Code

Legacy code is rarely untestable. It is usually just unseeded. A characterization test that reads the wall clock will flake on day two. So freeze the inputs first, then pin the outputs.

  • Characterization tests focus on freezing impure code behavior
  • Inventory impurity via text search, not profiling
  • Frozen behavior verified before code changes
