Also, companies will try to differentiate their brand using this fake sound. So we will go from a mostly-bassy-white-but-still-annoying ICE noise to very specific and recognizable frequencies and tones that will make a misophonia sufferer w

From their marketing material, they pretend they figured a way to fake depth. If true, that would be a huge step compared to classic stereoscopic technologies or other cumbersome devices. However, I doubt this is the case, else they wouldn&

Kinect was pretty surprising too, especially at that price point. EDIT: Granted they didn't develop 100% of the tech themselves, but still: depth perception, human skeleton recognition, in real time, on a crappy 360, for 150$? That was

This reminds me of Fermont[1], a remote Canadian city in northern Quebec that I visited when I was young. There is this 1.3 km long building shaped like a wall with all services, shops, restaurants and apartments in it. The wall protects th

Agreed. It's a common error to think that the smallest fraction of something is 1%.

Maybe they already did and are using it as a honey pot. Maybe that's part of their secret evidence.

I had a small bedbug problem once. I created a perimeter around my room and bed with diatomaceous earth for a few weeks. Since my bed had legs, it was easy, I could just put the legs in bowls with the stuff. I never saw them again. When we

At the very beginning of my career, I once made a very stupid and very costly mistake because of tight schedules and lack of proper QA process. The first thing my boss said the next morning before even explaining what happened was that he w

That's why here we have tickets on our cards, not money. The drawback being that a ticket for one city or zone can't be used in another one. And of course, every city's ticket bundles have different sizes, just like hot dogs

For a big team, either use Unreal or the in house engine. I heard good things about Havok's game engine too, and their support is the best I've ever seen.

As someone who tried to develop a Unity game on a big team, it was hell. The collaboration is horrible, there are conflicts all the time for no reason. Simply getting the source, running the game and updating would produce conflicts. We als

Oh, I made it return the whole thing since the timing attack would have leaked it anyway.

Yeah, changing date when everyone is sleeping is a horrible backward idea, I want my days to change randomly in the middle of daylight. We could then invent a new word to differentiate between the "day" as the date and "day&q

Yesterday in Toronto, a plane made an emergency landing. The news ignored it as just an usual everyday thing, because you know, it happens everyday... Just kidding, they actually called it a "multiplication" of aviation incidents.

I believe there is a technical reason for that 2 pixel move. If I remember correctly, old 16 bits applications can receive mouse messages from minimized windows. They didn't want to break compatibility by posting out of bounds messages

Some do, that's how I learned them. edit: I still think the most confusing thing about radians when learning them is the 2 pi. This seems so arbitrary. We now use Tau at work and it makes everything easier to understand.
