I can 100% believe that Autodesk isn't great at responding to customer requests, but presumably these firms would have enough budget to pay for devs to write a solution that works for them. Including making an open file format, EU spec

No don't. It'd be then end of civilization as people would never leave their house (not that we can anyways:)).

Any motion sickness problems? I'm thinking about getting this for when the weather sucks I can't get in a real plane, but motion sickness isn't my friend.

Got it. I took another pass through the article and was able to understand it a bit better with everyone's comments. Thanks all.

Yeah, this stuff is cool so I'm trying to wrap my head around it. It sounds from what you're saying that you're trading a lot of efficiency for protection, but I can't see any way around it.

So basically I tell you to do a bunch of stuff and give it back, and you have no idea if the computation is a partial application/full application etc. Neat. Next question: if my previous statement is correct it seems that it may push

I'd say it's probably more a factor of the _requirements_ of the software getting harder. Pre 1995 most developers were writing apps running on a desktop that wasn't even multitasking. Post 1995 you have preemptive multitaski

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't this still be vulnerable to side channel or pattern analysis attacks? Also, how can all operations on a DB like projection, and equality be represented by addition and multiplicati

The problem with "local" (where local is maybe not even where you are, but where your base is) storage of data is that it's a pain in the butt. Maintaining hardware, doing backups, etc is fun for me as a hobbyist but is a dra

There's some nice python packages to natively use it. https://pypi.org/project/jsonschema/ We use it at Uclusion to make sure our front end is passing the right arguments, by having it be the first thing our

Good. Facial recognition coupled with mass CCTV is going to force us to make _hard_ choices in respect to privacy, and I don't think any society on earth is truly prepared to deal with that yet.

I don't think I'd want to be a Roman emperor. Senator maybe, but that big a target on your back has to keep you up at night.

I remember in 1998 ordering my Yamaha COD and waiting out in the cold Minnesota snow to get it from the UPS driver, then paying 1$/disk. Total cost per GB amortized over the life of the drive was like 2$ since a newer faster model came

Weirdly enough, this is one of the things I like most about the "old media". When they screw up, they're on the hook and have enough resources to be worth going after.

I feel these plans are ignoring a big component of why we don't have tons of heliports in urban areas. Noise. Even with electric pushing enough air to move is going to make a fair amount.

It depends on society's tolerance for death honestly. You're not going to be VTOLing a 737s worth of people so you're probably talking about the number of fatalities in a mid size SUV. People would care a lot less if the rout

Carbs have an advantage when you're not going inverted: You can gravity feed them, with no fuel pump required.It would be interesting to run the numbers on fuel pump engine outs vs carb icing engine outs to decide which one was worse.

Not specific to this part, but most mechanical items that move get oiled as part of their operation. When they don't move for a long time that oil evaporates, and now the moisture in the air can attack the surfaces. This is a common si

Yes, and no. In the best case you improve your communication skills and become a more valuable employee, in which case you should consider leaving to get more comp. If you don't make improvements, then you're not really able to be

I'll make sure to do that in the future, but I _just_ created this account after lurking for a long time, and didn't want to immediately plug my stuff. That would feel like a bit of an abuse of the community. I will _happily_ gath

Right, it's not CPU arch, but there's a much higher chance of having the entire thing open arch if the CPU is. I expect the probability of reaching a de-facto "standard" SoC to be much higher in RISC-V and I'll take

In my case it helped to have physical zone which I was "at work" in. It allowed me to figure out what was work related and not. If I wanted to talk to them outside of that mental barrier, not about work, then I liked THEM, vs havi

Mostly have a hope of having a bootloader process that doesn't hinge on binaries. I mean at some level I may have to, but it's really annoying I can't move an image from machine to machine even though the arch is all the same

Yeah, I can see the argument that work at least in theory is a group of people who have (or had) similar interests. However work from home gives me so much more time flexibility that if I want to go to some meetup, I just would (Pre coronav

People are giant transmission vectors. We're not going to be able to have "safe" return to work until we get tests that can be done in minutes, by self serve kiosks, and that cost less than the daily value produced by said wo

I am eternally ashamed to admit I never did manage to beat the Red Dragon. Many years later I downloaded the game and ran a local BBS just so I could see what the result was.

The day a RISCV SOC on par with the Raspi 1, is the day I never buy another ARM board. It'd be nice if the whole SOC is open cored like the CPU, but I'll take what I can get.

Unless you _really_ like your coworkers, or have a horrible work environment at home, if your job can be done remote its almost a universally better experience. I worked exclusively remote for 3 years, and I _never_ want to go back to worki
