The HP Reverb G2 has exceptional resolution that basically eliminates screen door effect. I think the bigger challenge is not screen resolution but lenses. The G2 has quite a narrow sweetspot so although the centre of your vision is basical

> pixel perfection at every part of the screen Current lenses have quite a pronounced sweetspot in the centre of the vision so high resolution is wasted at the edges. "fixed foveated rendering" is supported with Oculus and impl

I don't think it's slow but it doesn't explain itself. When you see an event or character interaction without much context, it seems irrelevant and doesn't register so it might feel like nothing is happening. When I rewa

Indeed. I deleted a gcp project at the same time. However, it would be fun if it had a UUID clash with a google service :)

Nah. I have this laptop too and at the time, the 1050TI was considered underwhelming but "well this laptop isn't for gaming, it's a business laptop". The contemporary Surface Book 2 had a 1060 with almost double the perf

Heh, yeah, but it's so non-social I think it might be an equivalent to their letters page of The Times.

I am quite curious about the old London coffee house culture. Why don't we have it today? Could we recreate it? Do we have it today in another form? Have they been mythologised? Is it an example of the September effect? It's talke

I loved the monthly articles about Elite that let slip various secrets. They were so exciting. I'm not sure many players would have found the missions without them. It's hilarious how anti-user classic games were! Were there actua

A lot of vipers died to make me Elite. Its one of my proudest achievements but in truth, I sat outside a space-station and leant a book on one of the buttons of the analogue joystick!

I do like Peter Ustinov's versions. Very different but delightful with a sense of humour. His "swimming" in Evil Under The Sun is a silly thing that has stuck with me forever.

> The hardware-is-sold-at-a-loss argument Kind of ironic how bad an argument that is when discussing anti-trust. It's a form of dumping to distort the market. It prevents new competitors becoming viable purely by selling hardware.

I liked a quote I cannot find that referred to any study that has "schools of thought", like economics, as not studying reality but tribes at war seeking changes / power for ideological ends.

Another reading suggestion along those lines is "The design of design" by Fred Brooks (of Mythical Man Month fame). He discusses design approaches as uses his process of building his own house as the primary example: https:/

I don’t see what that has to with the IDE. Just grab a parser/ast library for your language. I’ve written a few of my own refactorings for big design changes that might touch e.g. every view in a huge application in ways no series of r

I don't see much issue with making an accident claim given there is "proof of an accident that I did not witness". If the insurance denies Apple's proof is sufficient then the ball is back in their park.
