I tend to be a skeptic with these types of technology but I must admit I've seen a video of supposed HoloLens footage (and even if it wasn't, it would do as a concept), that made me wonder. This is the video I'm talking about

Psalm 46 was what I've been thinking of when reading the article, especially after this bit: >For further clues, you have to read the poem in his self-published book, The Thrill of the Chase. He might actually make money on this, lo

IMO it just doesn't make much sense, though, as soon as you picture actual groups of people running these schemes. It's super secret and all, but behind the iris-scanner doors and extreme vetting, people are sitting in offices, dr

My dad always insists on cutting them himself and watching it always gave me a heart attack. That vid is basically what I play through in my head the whole time. So far nothing happened but man.

GTK is probably the main reason Gimp isn't a serious competitor in professional work, then. I can imagine what monumental task it must be to maintain a cross-platform GUI toolkit, but it's IMO the single most important aspect of

Oh, so I'm not alone in wondering what the hell he was talking about. I often have like 50 tabs open in Firefox when researching something. I notice no delay when opening an empty tab. If browsers are slow, it's mostly because of

So isn't $1500 still within the "luxury" category? You can get a perfectly fine laptop for $500. You mention 1080p. I believe the high-res displays (think 4k-ish/Retina) are still super expensive, even for non-Apple mach

Always getting skeptical when you hear of a name before you hear of a concrete achievement. I can respect his research but a bit too much Jürgen Schmidhuber before even getting into what his contributions are.

Is the top comment in this thread seriously someone claiming that "the telescope is "scriptable" using a (truly ancient) version of JavaScript via a really old implementation"? It's like the author of The Martian un

Man, that's a super interesting use of it. Controlling randomness shows up in so many - often unexpected - places when dealing with aesthetics.

Ah, I wondered why it felt like Perlin noise had been around for way longer than 1997.

Those books can be expensive but $299? It seems like they're celebrating Apple pricing philosophy on top of their design.

>If you’re sensing we don’t recommend Gimp very highly, we don’t. Gimp’s downside is difficult to discuss tactfully. Gimp suffers from forever living in the shadow of Photoshop. Gimp’s development is also closely tied to both Richard Sta

Totally off topic (except for the fact that "correctness" of an answer can be a deeper problem than checking against a list) but when you look at how the cones in your eyes are connected to the brain to actually transfer color inf

It doesn't though, does it? The only reason this is a problem is that Google's business is still advertising and they act like our problems can be solved by tools made to sell more ads. The moment I could buy an AI service for lik

You know what? I don't think that's an unreasonable concern and it's exactly why this situation is so horrible. It's the return cold war communism paranoia. "Of course I'm allowed to do this, but will this ge

Okay, but we can always replace "slow" by "slower than" and in a desktop environment (which the article is about), we could still compile C++ code to run natively and outperform JavaScript any day. The whole brouhaha abo

There was something happening to "cinemagraphs" in the few years since they became popular. I'm pretty sure it started with this blog: http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/ It took movie scenes/moments and tried to c

Yea, it's interesting tech but it plain doesn't work right. It looks like a "cinemagraph generator" (like it was first popularized with this blog: http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/ ). Only it does the (IMO rather

I mean, the whole "{} + [] == 0" thing is cute and all, but isn't that just tip-of-the-iceberg hilarity? Isn't the real problem with javascript that it's slow and messy?

What's their current logo? Lowercase "mozilla"? That dinosaur isn't there anymore, is it? I rather like the Moz://a logo. Beyond geeky, beyond clever. Maybe too clever, I dunno.

Heh, that's actually an interesting point. There might be some redundancies but there's a reason for the current country-city-street-number system in use for most places: Maybe you get the address number wrong, but you won't
