OpenVR SDK
API and runtime that allows access to VR hardware
OpenVR is an API and runtime that allows access to VR hardware from multiple vendors without requiring that applications have specific knowledge of the hardware they are targeting. This repository is an SDK that contains the API and samples. The runtime is under SteamVR in Tools on Steam. The OpenVR API provides a game with a way to interact with Virtual Reality displays without relying on a specific hardware vendor's SDK. It can be updated independently of the game to add support for new hardware or software updates. This means that you can access the position of the headset using only one API call and it works for all headset brands (Oculus, Mixed Reality, Vive, etc)! The API is implemented as a set of C++ interface classes full of pure virtual functions. When an application initializes the system it will return the interface that matches the header in the SDK used by that application. -

Agent Executor (AX)
Google's open source distributed agent runtime
Agent Executor (AX) is a Google research project for learning discrete choice models through differentiable maximum likelihood estimation. It is designed for situations where a model needs to predict choices from a finite set of alternatives, such as ranking, recommendation, preference modeling, or decision behavior analysis. The project provides JAX-based tools for defining and training choice models with automatic differentiation. It focuses on flexible model construction rather than a single fixed estimator, making it useful for researchers who want to experiment with different utility functions and optimization setups. ax is especially relevant for machine learning and econometrics workflows that need scalable, differentiable approaches to choice modeling. Its main value is giving researchers a modern, accelerator-friendly framework for estimating and analyzing discrete choice behavior. -

workerd
The JavaScript / Wasm runtime that powers Cloudflare Workers
workerd is the server runtime that powers Cloudflare Workers — a modern, standards-aligned JavaScript and WebAssembly execution environment that can be run outside of Cloudflare’s global edge network as a standalone server or proxy. Designed to host serverless applications written to the Workers platform API (including fetch() and Web standard libraries), workerd enables developers to self-host edge-style workloads in local data centers or development environments, or to test Workers code offline before deploying to the cloud. It emphasizes performance, predictable deployment semantics, and secure isolation, and it uses a capability-based configuration model to bind external resources and services into worker applications in a composable way. The architecture promotes homogeneous deployment of “nanoservices,” which are lightweight components that can be distributed and scaled without complex orchestration, and it supports backward compatibility. -

ChakraCore is a JavaScript engine with a C API you can use to add support for JavaScript to any C or C compatible project. It can be compiled for x64 processors on Linux macOS and Windows. And x86 and ARM for Windows only. It is a future goal to support x86 and ARM processors on Linux and ARM on macOS. As you may have heard Microsoft Edge no longer uses Chakra. Microsoft will continue to provide security updates for ChakraCore 1.11 until 9th March 2021 but do not intend to support it after that. ChakraCore is planned to continue as a community project targeted primarily at embedded use cases. We hope to produce future releases with new features and enhancements to support such use cases. You can build ChakraCore on Windows 7 SP1 or above, and Windows Server 2008 R2 or above, with either Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 with C++ support installed. -

GraphQL for Nest framework
GraphQL (TypeScript) module for Nest framework (node.js)
GraphQL is a powerful query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It's an elegant approach that solves many problems typically found with REST APIs. For background, we suggest reading this comparison between GraphQL and REST. GraphQL combined with TypeScript helps you develop better type safety with your GraphQL queries, giving you end-to-end typing. In this chapter, we assume a basic understanding of GraphQL, and focus on how to work with the built-in @nestjs/graphql module. The GraphQLModule can be configured to use Apollo server (with the @nestjs/apollo driver) and Mercurius (with the @nestjs/mercurius). We provide official integrations for these proven GraphQL packages to provide a simple way to use GraphQL with Nest. Nest offers two ways of building GraphQL applications, the code first and the schema first methods. You should choose the one that works best for you.
