Most pixel shader post-processing doesn't work too well with VR to start with, certainly any current implementations will look a little freaky when viewed through two eyes depending on shortcuts that are only convincing from a single c

What's that old joke, FAQs are for when you know you need to tell your users something but don't know when or how.

Seems a touch to aesthetically pleasing to be truly optimal, given they have a partial fitness function in terms of radiated power I wonder what a GA would come up with.

Simply because it's possible to deconvolve a dolphins sonar clicks into a 2 dimensional representation approximating our visual senses doesn't mean they have any such similar experience of it, on top of that, the whole linguistic

The cost of such a change also compares badly with being able to wrap anything you want so easily.

A few of my local user groups run similarly positive events, split into teams riff on an idea and do a show and tell at the end. Great fun and a positive exposure to code for newbies or the simply curious.

Is this new or just 'new mainstream enterprise practice' I was under the impression that hackathons had been subverted as a tool of corporate exploitation of young devs for some time now.

I'm not really wowed by any element of the Pi0, the drastic component count and associated feature reduction make both the small size and cost unimpressive. I hate to play this old tune: bit I can't imagine an application that doe

There are now four official administration interfaces you can in theory have with salesforce, one legacy blocky one that requires explicit configuration to stay on, two annoyingly similar layouts of the current production styling and now th

We ended up asking a third party to theme and provide a grammar over bootstrap for our SFDC front end work, I'm not seeing any great benefit over that (it even similarly requires a special wrapper element to isolate it from the standar

Are there more basic string operations that need to be available for Arabic, a quick play with copy and paste produces all sorts of unusual effects I assume because of combining marks not being copied or being suitable in their new contexts

An interesting point would be that frequency of the AC power line is used for timing, what's more your supplier will generally try to normalize the frequency http://www2.nationalgrid.com/uk/Industry-information&#x2

The scandir update also changes the underlying implementation of os.walk giving loads of production apps a huge speed increase by making use of additional data returned by the os calls.

If the effect at the interface point of two spheres leaks similarly little field one could imagine a chain of these invisibility conducting huge magnetic fields with no loss or external effects along its path.

Yes it's a dead distinction in all but a very narrow area of discussion, even then in which it should be stated more plainly.

Wow that was an adventure, on the negative side I've now stared at RPG source code. So many winding passages in enterprise computing, so many people wandering around them.

By that reasoning determining cooking time by the number of whistles would be a very coarse and inaccurate measure of "time spent at optimal cooking temprature" very sensitive to heating temperature. If the weighted valve and leto
