At some point (after years!) it became OK and I went back to it, but it was never as good as KDE 3.5 was for me. I realized it was not just nostalgia, when a friend showed me a laptop with KDE 3.5 and used it for some minutes. While the who

It was kind of a rhetorical question. I looked it up after I sent the comment to confirm what you just said. I was answering to the last paragraph of the parent comment.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Git Extensions yet. My absolute favorite Git UI, better than my previously favorite git-cola. https://gitextensions.github.io/

They mean the file name is the same and you end up with several files in the download folder without knowing what's the one you need.

The 2nd and 3rd exposes what's the article about: that there are no new physics to discover from LHC. The 8th paragraph only confirms what the title means. Frequently, the paragraph beginnings are not meaningful. It is better to skim t

Oops, my memory failed. You're right, there's no equivalent with AMD, yet. There's equivalent for other VR things like ATW and direct mode, which I tend to forget they're driver specific features.

IIRC AMD has it too, with a different name.

I agree completely on the FoV. More than 110 wasn't possible because of how many pixels are wasted with a linear projection matrix. That is, until now, where the latest generation of GPUs have viewport multicast and we can render parts

The vast majority of those problems sound fixable by software. In the absence of MSAA, supersampling goes a long way to improve crispness. With proper text rendering (i.e. NOT E:D) you can squeeze much more information in your field of view

Apples and oranges. 25 years ago we didn't have 4000+ GFLOPS GPUs. No 90 hz, no low persistence, no 90+ deg FoV, no high enough resolution, no absolute positional tracking... at least for a sub-1000$ device (expensive ones had a couple

The Vive is much more glasses-friendly. Also having hands in the virtual world is a whole different experience.

Try 1.7+ supersampling with a 1080 some time. The difference is notable, esp with the current batch of VR games that can't use MSAA. I think it has enough resolution for games, just not enough for text to replace a screen.

Most of those problems sound related to early software implementations. E.g. There are ways to "switch to 3rd person views, zoom and pan the camera or detach it" in comfortable ways. The easiest is having a virtual screen (or port

I mean the code coverage tool, not the flame graphs. To e.g. know what paths of the code are never executed. Chrome and Firefox already show flame graphs in their profilers.

It's very likely that methane engines will be used. Methane will be easy to make in mars and it's much more dense than hydrogen. Also terraforming mars will probably involve dumping methane into the atmosphere.

OMG. A TV channel used it (or a very similar technique) here in Spain to manipulate some video footage. http://iniciativadebate.org/2016/01/22/por-que-solo-en-video... In the first video (at around 0:33) you

Yeah, I'm definitely a geek and tinkerer, but testing in Safari is work stuff I don't like, and the only way to do it properly is with actual Apple hardware.

That Aldi is not the same as the other Aldi. There are two independent Aldis (Nord and Süd) since the 60s, and typically only one of them is present in each country. The USA is an exception so one of them is called Trader Joe's.

I feel your pain. A (pirated) hackintosh VM doesn't cut it, as I need 3D acceleration to test a very complex WebGL app. And it's the slowest browser from the bunch. Safari is the new IE6 for me. I hate it with passion.

For box modelling and poly by poly modelling, Blender is the fastest of all applications I've tried. Blender is weird but predictable too. For example the keys GRS (grab, rotate, scale) works in different areas (3D, UV, animation, NLA,

The current UI of Blender is fairly good. It is difficult because 3D is difficult. You can remap the keys to resemble other 3D packages and UI concepts. If you try to make it any easier than that, you're removing useful features. Also,
