I care less about speeding and more about other traffic violations (running red lights, turning right from a lane other than the right lane, ....) Have you talked to the law enforcement agencies? Will they actually use the footage?

You mean it would cost you one coffee every 2 weeks and that's too much? Or for your 2 days it would cost one coffee a day.

All of those companies want knowledgable developers as well as helping their own developers. They have enough incentive and self interest to fund MDN without having them focus on corp products.

I believe AR will blow up but I don't believe AR entertainment will likely blow up except for a few niche games. It's arguably way too hard to fit every story to the environment you're in (AR) than to just put you in a differ

I don't know. I only know that for me, after playing Half Life: Alyx, I never want the play a non-VR first person shooter again. Being there is 10x better than looking at a movie of being there (a 2D monitor). Having played No Man&#x27

The same was said for PDAs from Apple Newton (1992) -> Windows CE devices (1996) -> Palm Pilot (1997) -> iPhone (2007). Lots of enthusiasts who thought having a computer in their pocket was amazing and everyone else who thought it

Related to Mercedes saying they take responsibility if their self driving car crashes. It's certainly arguable if you don't take the upgrade they can stop taking responsibility at some point.

I upgrade because the new game I want to play won't play if I don't. Also the on console store will refuse to work.

for me (ymmv), I found the happiest times in my life was when I loved my job and so thinking about it outside of "work hours" didn't bug me. Not that I had a hard time having fun and doing non work related things, going out,

yes ... or maybe for all intents and purposes, deprecated or mostly abandoned are better words. Hardware vendors really don't want to spend any more resources on it.

The deference between C and C++ is vast. You can do templates and meta programming in C++ that you can't in C. Similarly you can do templates and meta programming in Metal So to say all shader languages are based on C is as useful as s

People say that and yet most of the PS1 and PS2 games were 30fps or lower. One of the top games on the PS2, GTA3 (and Vice City, and San Andreas) were all 30fps or less. N64 games as well. Basically if the game is fun, no one cares. If the

Not just it's portability. I've seen kids in coffeeshops. Their mom is reading a magazine and the kids have put the Switch on a table using its stand and then use the controllers to play 2+ player games. No other handheld I know o

Well, let's apply it to tech. I know lots of people getting praised for their work and others not, but they didn't get to choose their work, it was assigned. So, some got sexy/glamorous tasks, some got maintenance tasks, some

When your hands are dirty do you just wipe them with a dry towel or do you wash them? Why would you just wipe the shit off your ass with dry paper instead of wash it? Note: If I understand correctly, most muslim people wash instead of wipe

For me, the writing sucked. That's it. Nothing to do with effects.

Effects that looked amazing in the past often no longer look amazing. I remember thinking the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park looked real. Now they look like bad CGI with bad compositing. Part of that is the first time I see something, especiall

no other company has bet their future on VR/AR , at least not publically. If you want to do VR or AR there aren't really many other choices.

Yea, it's a build system. The same problem exists with lots of projects. // foo.cpp #include auto_generated_file.cpp The C++ compiler doesn't know how to build auto_generated_file.cpp, the build system does.
