I'm sure you've heard of TrackIR, which can do head tracking with some head-mounted reflectors. But without mounting anything to your head, the tobii eye tracker can do both head and eye tracking completely passively. It seems lik

Isn't that all games though? Especially MMO's. Why do people think it's so much different for star citizen than any other game? At the end of the day, they're all just entertaining ways to waste time.

Do you have some suggestions on what sort of sortiments you like? It seems like many of the common component assortment kits readily available, while having several hundred pieces, only have a handful of any particular value component, whic

One thing I really wish sponsorblock would add is the ability to mask off some part of the screen with an option to mute. More and more channels are embedding on-screen ads, animations, and interaction "reminders" that are, at bes

Having been on both sides of this equation, I don't think I'm being unreasonable, and am well aware of the fact that good candidates and the "right" hire will rarely be the ones that check off a list of random attributes

I'd not seen that project; definitely something I'll be looking at, thanks. Unfortunately, for what we're doing, it doesn't look like this will work as is... certainly worth some investigation though.

These are both very useful comments; thank you! In your experience, do the devops/sys ops engineers typically have useful coding experience? In our environment, porting a package to our OS may require a little, or sometimes a fair bit

I'm not going to say where and I'm not asking for interested parties (we're not currently hiring anyway), but where I work (as a kernel/OS developer), package maintenance and management has been an ever-increasing burden

That's what it looks like. I imagine it will be very similar to other platforms where they have a library of documentaries, educational programs, project overviews, live streams and archived live streams, etc... available to watch when

The OS I work on currently supports a maximum of 254 logical cpus. If we ran on the 9754 and had to ignore two entire threads, we'd be giving up a maximum of 0.78% performance. I remember being excited about the first dual core systems

Protectli [0] has a bunch of systems that should meet any number of price ranges and network needs. I've not personally tried OpenBSD on them, but I see nothing that should cause any problems. They're also small and fanless system

Loud is relative. You wouldn't hear it standing on deck of the support ship. And the hydrophones they were using for communications and pings were possibly (likely?) passed into an FFT, band-pass filtered to look for the expected frequ

My guess would be that the window wasn't the failure point, assuming that pressure hull was indeed found in many pieces. If the window did go first, the pressure delta on the rest of the hull immediately begins to equalize, so the amou

As far as layout is concerned, if you don't mind me brainstorming some ideas, I'll share some thoughts. When a search term yields many results, it's left to the user to the user to search the results for the site that will yi

For whatever it's worth, I personally like the screenshots of the pages that shows up when you browse random; I think it really helps in recognizing a site you may have been to before. If there were a way to incorporate that into all s

As an exercise to the reader, I'd recommend looking up how to use vim buffers. I'm sure a web search would yield plenty that will be useful. For example you can open all the java files in a directory with >vim *.java . All the

And in newer versions of vim you can even run a terminal inside a vim buffer. Use :term to get started. ^w N to go from terminal insert mode to buffer mode where you can treat all terminal contents as regular text. Useful when you want to g

Honest question: roughly how much would running a link-aggregator website like (early) reddit actually cost, assuming text only user-submissions (links/comments), 50 million daily users, and an uptime similar to reddit? If one magicall

Another consideration might be to switch 24 to 0 or 00. I've seen a lot of 24 hour clocks that use 24 and I'm not sure why this ever happened since there is no time in hour 24. 12:15 AM/PM is a real thing for a 12-hour clock,

It does. I've done it, starting with their x11_rawfb demo. It's pretty nice, but I've personally switched to using LVGL ( https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl ) for the OS I work on, as I find it a better fit for

One of their demos already has a software rasterizer. I've used it to draw directly to a frame buffer for a custom OS that didn't support accelerated graphics. It's in the demo directory under x11_rawfb. I made some tweaks to
