There are so many new rendering tricks popping up all the time... new APIs also give less overhead, which is nice. Either way... 580 gtx gflops: 1581 1080 gtx gflops: 8228 7 years. 420% increase in float calc perf.

I don't get why you, or the other person who replied, concluded that I thought 8k per eye was feasable now. I only said that was when I was going back to try VR. I'm positive we have at least that resolution in 10 years. I am also

I said that was when I would go back to VR. Of course I know we don't have the consumer hardware to run it today. But we will in 10 years.

I'm not wearing it wrong, and I know what adjustments are possible. This is an inherent fault with the lenses, it's just about optics quality. https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/4i8ogs/am_i_

Selling my Vive tomorrow, before it's too late (unsellable due to something better on the market). < 50 hours use over several months. The visual quality is awful, not just resolution, but the lenses are terrible as well. Glare, ver

There is so much novelty one encounters when traveling, on multiple levels. I definitely recommend everyone to travel and visit new places as much/often as possible, even in their own country. Of course, I'm not talking about cand

From what I've read, experienced, and observed, it would seem novelty is the crucial element in preserving and, even heightening, mental acuteness. Whether you are a programmer or a chess player; that alone might not be sufficient--you

I'm saying that's the pipe dream. Software won't change on its own.

Bostrom's book is wordy, boring, filled with weak parables, analogies, lacking concretization of a theory. Like always, alarmist material sells better than realism.

They don't give back? Microsoft employs 100k+ people. That's giving back. These people all pay taxes and give back to society because Microsoft gave them a job. Because Gates happened. And in the case of Gates, let's not forg

Which limit are you talking about? I guess you have forgotten what the soldiers of the third reich did. Or American death squads in Afghanistan. Might as well call them rape and death squads. What about Guantanamo? Srebrenica? Should I go o

What the author is actually talking about is of course the mythological techno-singularity event, which is of course bullshit. Have you ever programmed any piece of software that suddenly implemented features of its own? Did your program be

As always it seems the fear mongers in AI do not actually know how programming and "the machine" works. Also, depending on how you measure intelligence, "machines" have been way smarter than humans since the first calcul

If you want to learn how to create bloated and slow applications and just how to use frameworks and crappy APIs, then please do start with web dev. The world really needs another social "service" or task list manager. If you want

For some, there might be some valuables on these interviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVpSIdWE0do&list=PLEMXAbCVnm... Again, it's game dev oriented, but there are good general advice as well, here and there.

No. People add so much unnecessary overhead and bullshit these days. All you need for static is a push from local to your host with SCP. A one-line script if you include some markdown to HTML, or just use Jekyll and straight SCP that.

Thanks for that suggestion. I am well aware of these options, and if I used Windows at home, I could utilize these. However, I only use Windows when I have to, which is at work. The environment in which I work, you can absolutely not instal

Drag-resize (affecting buffer, as well) is nice, finally. And you can change opacity in properties, making your window transparent. What I really like though: you can now use Shift + arrow keys to select text and C-c/C-p to copy/p
