What a show of support for consumer grade VR. The Oculus Rift seemed to me as though it would always be a special little paradise for nerds. But this. This is mainstream and could blow the market wide open. I hope the OR team is ready t

I like the license, I like the level and style of documentation, I like the lean scope, and I like the timing as I've just started looking into an MVC framework to learn. I was going to choose react over angular but now I'm going

No need to fear. I have a recent Thinkpad (T530) and it boots ArchLinux painlessly from USB or internal 32gig ssd. Also boots into windows8 from the main 120gig ssd if necessary. It's UEFI with secureboot disabled.

Oh. That's interesting. It would read much better if they specified the ac/h rating they are referring to. It would also provide some actual information rather than a statement that sounds insane.

These alternative house construction strategies always get my attention. But the real tough part is finding affordable and desirable land upon which to build one.

What's the issue exactly? I guess github should replace their "Fork me on github" banner with a "Rip off my work" banner.

Yeah, I don't know what it is, what they've done, or why they are stopping. Not in any real detail anyway.

It's not about storage or page count. It's about quality and relevant material. When I search for "band" (disambiguation) I wouldn't want to end up seeing a list of every high school band in the western hemisphere

"When Is a hyper precise millisecond timestamp of when the message was created. It is 17 digits long, which is 4 digits longer than the normal new Date().getTime()" Is this serious? I can't find any assignment of "when&

"as long as it's commented correctly there's no issue" How do you know it is commented correctly? Now you have to understand the code and the comment and mentally confirm them to be in sync. You also have to maintain

Thanks for that. I found it to be quite fascinating but at the same time somewhat unsettling. The depth of complexity seemed limitless. As though there would be no end to the layers of abstraction one could reason about - and must reason

So Sublime text provides a 99% feature loss but a great usability gain? Can you explain that a bit?

The fact that you indicated you like it and want to share that with your social network has not changed. If you "like" a brand, it has everything to do with brands and advertising. You just indicated that you like that brand. A

When you "like" something you are telling Facebook that you want your social network to know that you like that thing. Doesn't it make sense that Facebook would then go about telling people that you said you liked it? That
