What I find very cool is that it's extracting scenes from the running game and then projecting them into the VR space, allowing the scenes to be panned/rotated in a way that isn't possible in the original game. If you haven&#

I'm currently experimenting with "link eye" from FDroid on Android. There's also [finicky]( https://github.com/johnste/finicky ) for MacOS.

Mine just works with Wireguard. I took a couple extra steps to make it convenient: 1. Public DNS entry gives jump box IP. With some http forwarding the Letsencrypt flow initiated from the internal Jellyfin server. 2. My Wireguard server (ru

One of our local parks intentionally has Back-In Angled Parking on its adjacent one-way street. Granted, it is in a residential, traffic-calmed area with speedbumps that is primarily for residents and park-users and not intended to be used

It could be a really interesting way to visualize code. I could imagine using profiler output to influence the rendering of different code. Similarly, an interactive debugger view that showed e.g. objects being created, or memory usage.

This is great; I had a thought that something similarly writable on tablets, but designed for tabletop RPGs would be great. The best of both worlds. I use 5e Companion App on my phone, and find the interface is great. I have a Boox Note tha

When I was recently in SF, one early morning I came across a Cruise vehicle on a one way street at a 30 degree angle blocking traffic (of which there was very little at the time). Another was pulling up behind it (maintenance vehicle?). Not

I have a Boox that I'm quite happy with. It's quite pleasant to write on, and the battery lasts a considerable amount of time. The calibration seems to sometimes go off slightly, but I'm still not sure if that is the device&#

If you hide the weather app's notification on my device, it won't update because it stops running in the background. If I leave the notification present, it will keep updating the weather.

I like Seek but find I prefer the more "raw", self-titled iNaturalist app itself.

It might if this "something" is persistent or widespread enough to affect all of the separate colonies of it; it sounds like there are individual patches that are spread out over many kilometers.

Well, the fight between the people trying to create these and those trying to delete it seems to have brought down the demo site. Mission accomplished?

It's not the most hackable, but there are some dedicated folks hacking at the Amazfit watches. I have the original Bip, which has a ridiculous battery life (30+ days easily) and GPS. The GPS will run your battery down with extensive us

This isn't the convenient answer we want, but I keep thinking that personally I should invest in a vehicle that suits 90% of my transportation needs, and plan to rent for the other 10%. It is likely the better financial approach, altho

Great point. Perhaps the idea is that neither you nor the avg doc can conclude much from reading 10 studies. Therefore, defer to the experts? As to why the COVID situation is different, presumably because prostate cancer screening affects o

I could see using it if the cost was reasonable, had lower emissions, and the travel experience was comfortable. It could be feasible to work from the ship if connectivity isn't too expensive or slow.

I love iNaturalist and am sometimes blown away by the automatic suggestions. I use it for birds, plants, bugs, mushrooms, trees, everything. Some time ago they added audio clips as well. It would be great to see more of these open communiti

Actually they just said that Java's server-side stack is overengineered, and that Spring/Spring Boot hides that complexity. I think that is mostly true.

But don't economies of scale still say that you can improve prices for good tasting food by scaling up from the small farms? Maybe that just gets taken to the extreme year over year when people focus on constantly increasing profit.
