I would imagine something more along the lines of the Fantastic Contraption minimap.

I have mine set to sleep and wake up when I launch SteamVR, there's a delay but not much longer than it takes me to pull the headset out of the bag and hit power on the two controllers. re: IPD, I'm sure this is why the default en

It's not quite that bad. Assuming base stations are already plugged in, I'm generally up and in Steam in 1 minute. Only step necessary to detect controllers is turning them on. Straps are annoying if you play with others though. I

This is true for most games, the difference that with VR you're strapping on figurative horse blinders. As I mentioned in my sibling post, there are some games taking advantage of the disconnect.

I get the opposite experience, with games such as Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes[ktne], Black Hat Cooperative[bhc], and Pool Nation VR[pnvr]. [ktne]: https://store.steampowered.com/app/341800/ [bhc]: http:&#x2F

Sounds like my dream, how did you initially get into 3days/week? New job? Negotiated for it at an old job?

The Plan 9 terminal emulator[0] was pretty neat the last time I used it (probably 8 years ago now). I seem to remember the TempleOS terminal[1] being pretty unique as well, but I don't remember exactly why. [0] http://www.cs

With intelligent highlighting on double click, mouse is so much faster for small one-off operations like that. I wish CLI users/devs/ranters weren't so hostile to the thought of using more than a keyboard...

Sure, but once you do that for the 4th or 5th time you'll remember that it's "sorta close to half a mile".

To some extent. I think what the parent was getting at was that these could be pursued without worrying about the job being the most financially sensible choice available.

Jonathan Blow released The Witness[0] not too long ago. An exploration game based on puzzles and meta-puzzles involving tracing lines. The Talos Principle[1] scratched the same itch. It involves directing laser beams to ... laser beam recep

Yeah, I need to get on the letsencrypt train and automate cert updates, but I don't have any pressing need. My site is pretty low traffic unless I'm actively sending out resumes (1-10 uniques/month). Most leads come from gith

My issue is with the black and white approach that seems to be advocated. In a month there is plenty of time to set yourself up for better wages and account for that which you already have. Personally, I input every transaction at the point

Google Photos already has an incredibly lossy compression, right? Images organized under Dog, Cat, etc. :) Might take a bit more effort to get the extra 999 words.

It's roughly pulling from the Ingress dataset. The Ingress portals were user submitted (there are some hilarious examples of things like ashtrays or bad graffiti being landmarks already).

Heh. I was just following along with some Unreal Engine tutorials yesterday. Unfortunately the engine has changed since the tutorials were uploaded, so some kind souls pasted the new C++ code in the comment field. What. A. Mess.

I was unable to upgrade my wife's old 32bit computer, but I think it was some other bit of CPU capability that was the stopper. Edit: It was NX bit support.

The time even just to come up to speed with a code base at $100/hr is beyond what most people would want to pay to fix a problem.

From what I've seen, they are eager to try new technologies but not necessarily new implementations. Just enough to get an idea of where this tool fits in their toolbox should they ever need it.
