I was thinking that it also has a semi truck configuration, but I was confusing this set with 8458: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/lego-technic-8458-sil... The permutations in these sets are extraordinary.

Last I saw, the roads are full of Teslas and there have been 5 crewed launches to orbit on reflown Falcon boosters. Without Tesla, the electric car market would probably be farther behind, and without SpaceX we'd definitely still be fl

With the release of Windows 11, I also thought this would be a good opportunity to change my daily driver to Linux. I'm a Unity developer. I downloaded the latest Ubuntu release and figured out how to mount it with Rufus on a USB and i

The davinci-codex model that copilot uses also has the capability of translating someone else's code into plain English. This has a great value potential. Ultimately I'd like to have a conversation with a machine, where I can desc

I don't know why you keep insisting that this is a moral appeal. This is public health. 1 - mandate disclaimers in front of all videos describing the possible negative effects of porn (there are concrete, well-studied effects). cigaret

Agree. With code in VR it is possible to combine 3D and text for a greater result. The 3D space can be used for architectural abstraction that can be spatially memorized, and the text can be used for detail. Self-promoting here: my project

I just installed Ubuntu 20.10 on a new machine. Is anyone else actually able to run Steam in this environment (or 20.04)? I can't get it to work - even after running sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-390:i386

As a VR developer I'm really sad to hear this news. I've always been against the walled garden approach. I feel like it's only a matter of time before they block SideQuest. However - supposedly your oculus account will be val

This is beautifully written. Please check out primitive.io. We have been implementing a VR abstraction of large programming systems.

Another tip to add to point 2: keep the scope of each branch limited so that the resulting name can be short. E.g. a branch with feature1, feature2, and fix3 should be 3 separate branches. Combining too many things into one branch is a comm
