I’m currently playing through the original Doom games on Switch. They’re a lot of fun still! Even Doom 3, the weakest of the series, is very enjoyable in handheld mode. They also don’t constantly nag you or hold your hand.

I had an intermittent printer issue recently. As a Mac user I have to submit jobs to the University printers via a web portal. I try to print very little so it’s not something I use a lot, however I end up printing large numbers of midterm

Dredd, while an excellent movie in general, really was a very good example of 3D cinema. I attribute it to the way the slo-mo effect reset the 3D perception in my mind. I remember going to see one of the Abrams Star Trek movies in 3D and at

My father is an agricultural mechanic here in Ireland. Lots of farmers here use very old tractors. It’s not unusual to see David Brownes, Case Internationals, Massey Fergusons, John Deeres and Zetors going back 20 – 30 years or more. There’

In some ways Photoshop is losing relevance in the creative space. Adobe’s rent seeking has pissed off a lot of people and upstarts like Krita, DaVinci Resolve and Serif are making waves. Affinity Photo and Designer offer strong Photoshop an

Emojis are at least colourful and shaded. Maybe if the set of them increases as the rate they are currently we can have them as icons in our UIs. And as the sibling post pointed out it’s all Unicode.

You can set the amount of force required for 3D Touch in settings. It’s a feature I liked, it behaved like a right click in many instances. Also its double action made text selection easy.

Isn’t this part of the (awful) GeForce experience app? You can still just download drivers directly from the Nvidia webpage without logging in.

Not to mention that Win10 shipped displaying a heavy compressed version of the image that looked really bad on a 4K screen.

The NS momentum equation is just Newton’s second law written for all the forces acting on a fluid. We just don’t know if it always works.

It’s a great game that was let down by its rapidly refreshing outposts which made traversing the world a chore. Fortunately I believe there are mods to fix this. The immersion really was great. I loved pulling out my map while driving and

Wasn’t the problem in The Witcher 3 the necrophage infestation that prevented anyone from looting the corpses? That is why you were given the task of clearing them out. I remember spending far too long looting there on my play through.

Here’s what happened to me recently. I’m cycling home on a dark wet Friday evening. My commute was 18km then and I was halfway home. I’m in a cycle lane doing maybe 20 km/h and traffic is all held up. I was doored before so I’m watchin

As someone who commutes by bike and has been hit twice by cars, the first thought that crossed my mind when seeing the CyberTruck was ‘ouch’.

This is great! Thank you. I’m rewriting fluid mechanics lecture notes in Jupyter (with Blender videos) and I’ve been looking for tools to visualise the maths. PyGel3D kinda works but it’s awkward and doesn’t work on nbviewer. I’m 100% on bo

The regional search in DDG is awful. I usually have to add the country to the search as well has enabling the toggle for it to work somewhat reliably. That said, I do 99% or my searching on DDG.

I’m a long term Matlab user and I’ve been using Matplotlib more and more recently. This is partially out of frustration with recent changes to Matlab graphics and also a desire to use more open source tools. Matlab plotting is extremely pow

For low speed flows like in F1 the viscous effects are much larger and this can make flow prediction more difficult. It’s actually pretty easy to predict the shockwave pattern from 1D theory without the need for CFD [0]. The boundary layers

The article makes the point that it became inefficient to use displacement maps due to their size ballooning beyond '36 times' what they would normally use. So this means that the ground displacement map was just not detailed enou

Lots of big companies let their engineers submit patent to their IP office for almost whatever they like in the hopes that some of it might be useful. The inventors are usually paid a small bonus if the idea gets filed. It’s the kind of thi
