I am on a Macbook Pro w. magic mouse in Safari. I don't think it works as intended.

Java, actually... But not by choice -- The client requested that the project was written in Java. It is always hard to compare these algorithms because you have lots of parameters, and I must admit, that I did not tweak the settings on Azur

I have used several times. Uploaded a CSV file, thrown neural networks or random decision forests at it to see how well it worked. It works well when you are prototyping and is quite accessible. It is also good to test various algorithms an

From Wikipedia: --- • Multicolor mode: 64×48 pixels (each pixel may be any color, all 32 sprites are available) • Bitmap mode: 256×192 pixels (no more than two colors in an eight pixel row, full 15 color palette + transparent, all 32 sprite

Parsec was 2D horizontal smooth scrolling. It wasn't full screen, but the scrolling screens in this demo generally contains repetitive graphics, which would allow them to use a number of possible tricks. I actually downloaded and tried

I hear you regarding the speed... I had a TI and I learned to program on it, so I know how amazingly slow it was! They do mention that they used extra RAM from the floppy drive controller which would help! I don't see anything that mak

The demo was credited as 2017, so I don't think you can really use the bouncing ball or Wolf3D as reasons. You could actually buy a speech synthesizer for the TI. Yes, the demo is impressive compared to what else was available on the m

Why do you think it is an Amiga demo?

I grew up and learned basic on a TI-99/4a. It was a wonderful and simple time... but TI Basic was so incredibly slow. At least Extended Basic allowed you to use sprites and overall felt a bit faster. In TI Basic, you accessed the more

It has been warmer... But we've never been so many people on this planet who really depend so much on a stable climate. We are really pushing this planet to the edge right now even without climate change. If the climate changes, we all

I needed "sticky" today for a table header that I want to keep visible as the user scrolls on the page... Works already in Safari, but alas only in Chrome Beta. It is a lot simpler and more robust than the Javascript approaches I

I don't completely agree. To follow your analogy, I don't think the languages themselves are "theorems". Rather they are notation. Some notation is shorthand. Some is quite verbose. But in the end it is not the notation

We'll see... Apple has disappointed me a bit lately, but I definitely think AR makes more sense for Apple than trying to build a car. Microsoft may have some advantage in that they've done a lot research in the field of 3D scannin

Hmm... Not entirely sure. Windows Holographic is out there with end-users. Albeit with some/many shortcomings and obviously still being developed (like every other OS) -- I would compare it more to iOS 1.0, which was pretty stable but

by joakleaf 10y ago
Microsoft is pushing Windows Holographic as OS. It is a Windows platform where you can place 2D windows in 3D space while some applications can display 3D graphics. You end up e.g. having a browser on one wall, a photos app on another wall,

I am really impressed with the Hololens myself. I bought one. It is still not quite there. The FOV is way, way too narrow, the Resolution is too low for serious work, and gestures are not very accurate. I've also found that the device

That's exactly how I feel too. The worst part is that the old Macbook Pro was my go-to model previously, but the new one just feels like a more expensive step in the wrong direction. I don't really want a touch bar (I use an exter

But surely the overlap between the people who used to work on routers and the people working on services must be minimal. However, maybe some of the hardware guys who used to work on the router are now busy with the watch. It would make sen

... I completely forgot their watch :-). It has never interested me. In any case, the Watch 2 looks almost identical to the Watch 1, so from a design point of view, even that is stagnant.

So what is Apple working on now? • iPhone 7 looks like iPhone 6 sans the headphone jack. So no design changes for 3 years. To me, 7 does not feel like a significant update over 6. • Macbook Pro got a touch bar. Otherwise, minor design chang

I don't underestimate our intelligence, but I think most of us have too little time to do the due diligence ourselves. I am not saying you should trust one traditional media source, but I hope that unfiltered social media never fully r

by joakleaf 10y ago
Unfortunately, unfiltered also means more "undistilled". The flipside of removal of filters of news on social media, is that we get a lot more low quality news based on unchecked facts. It is bad enough that the established media
