I personally don't think it'll so much "replace" as much as open up new doors. As in Cinema/TV didn't "replace" theatrical performances, theatre is still around and strong, but the audience has mostly

I said this in another thread, but if you haven't tried the Vive (or maybe Oculus with the Touch controllers, which are not generally available yet), then you haven't really tried VR. Wearing a stereoscopic headset is one thing, b

This, if you haven't tried the HTC Vive (or the Oculus with the Touch controllers, but mostly the Vive), then you haven't tried VR. There is no doubt in my mind this is no gimmick, it's the next step.

It's more like you're wearing goggles than "fixed eyes", you can still look around, your field of view is just restricted because of hardware limitation at the moment. This also is not a common reason for motion sickne

Lots more people pay attention to cars than tech. Those people all know the nice Teslas they see all around cities.

I don't know if I buy the reasoning in this article, but I agree that locking cell phones in a pouch is crazy. I would never go to a concert that made me do that. This solution is tantamount to movie studios and cable companies trying

That's the wrong type of graph for that data... should clearly be a line graph.

Pretty good read, it's not what you think it'll be about at first. Super rambly though, hard to read, but wade through it for the last few paragraph where the actual take away is and it's a reasonable assessment.

Not necessarily, they might not own the tool, just paid for someone to use it on the phone.

Yea same here, the Surface Pro is just such a nice piece of powerful hardware and a great form factor to carry around. Having bash/linux subsystem on Windows makes it a pretty damn nice development machine for pretty much anything (web

They mean that it was rendered in real-time when it was recorded, not that it is rendering in real time in your browser.

Yea pretty sure they definitely mean "Add More Libraries" when they say "scaling", it wouldn't make sense otherwise given what CocoaPods does...

How can it be dead? It hasn't even begun yet. The original iPhone was $500 w/ contract, the first iteration of a new technology is always going to be expensive. Plus the Rift and Vive are just the high-end headsets, the GearVR is

Facebook at Work isn't going to be free. I also highly doubt they'll be touching any of the FB@Work data for mining, just like Google Apps for Business doesn't mine business accounts or serve ads.

It's arguably a lot easier to use Twilio for something like this because there's no hardware needed and you can be up and running in about 5 minutes for a simple setup. That said, the real difference here is probably that Twilio a

That's absurd, it can look the same and still be a crappy product that has issues like the battery blowing up. The consumer might not know the difference between your board and the lower quality one that looks the same on the outside,

I imagine the goal isn't to encourage votes (since as you pointed out, that wouldn't work), but rather to point to any HN discussion of the article. Edit: I was looking at the wrong thing, yea it's weird that it says "Vo

The VATSIM community is awesome. They're so dedicated to following real world operating procedures and realism, I learned so much about aviation doing ATC on the platform when I was in highschool.

I'll grant you it might be unethical, I don't see how it could possibly be illegal.

Yea, I didn't mention the "phone home" part, that's important =P Even though it is "easy" to avoid it, there were still a bunch of people who accidentally triggered it every semester.

I think the real take away is "Don't do live coding on stage unless you are already a compelling speaker". There are several example of good talks that include live coding, but they all tend to be by expert presenters who kno

It's actually possible to defuse the whole thing by just decompiling it into assembly and reading that, but you have to really know and be comfortable with ASM. There are a handful of students that do it each year at CMU though, so it&

Well that's part of it, the real meat is in "phases.c", which would need to be generated by the instructors (and uniquely for each student). This way no two student's answers are both the same, and there's no public
