Using GPS/WGS84 to locate is fine, you just need to convert to a plate-local datum before long-term storage of those coordinates.

When I tried it VR support was pretty rough control-wise. Some UI stuff looked like it was trying to work but was borked, and also it looked like custom control binding was necessary to get it more useful. It looked really awesome though!

In nearly every case the city is there only because the railroad was there first. Obviously reasonable and pertinent safety measures should be taken ("Safety First", etc) but I think it's pretty unreasonable to ask the railr

Air pressure is required for the brakes to be applied, insofar as if you bleed all the air off the cars their brakes will release. However, air is stored in reservoirs on the cars, and once charged when the air pressure in the brake pipe t

Good luck finding any analog gear period that can saturate 24 bits and not have noise in the LSBs, it just doesn't exist. That's not the point of 24-bit audio, it's not needing to worry about clipping. That's why knock

I'm still having a hard time believing that the drum computer only having a 16-bit representation of the velocity of the stick hitting the pad will matter in its goal to produce a velocity-scaled (probably 24-bit) sample on its output

99% of digital recorded music only has 16 bit velocity for every sample. I think it'd be fine.

The MIDI pins on game ports were an add-on on sound cards to unused pins from the game port, though. The original game port spec doesn't have anything to do with MIDI or UARTs, and joysticks and the like did not use those extra pins.

I don't doubt that not having the staging area would make it better for new users, as it is certainly conceptually simpler to just commit everything. And for those who's revision control model is always linear commits of what

Yes, all the time. Stage individual hunks or individual lines in `git gui` to clean up history or avoid commiting debugging hash.

Opinions obviously vary. The staging area is one of the most useful things about Git for me, and I use it just about every day.

This really makes me happy I went for a Vive. I stuck the lighthouses up near the ceiling, calibrated once, and it still works perfectly eight months later. And no USB cables. Hopefully they perfect inside-out tracking eventually but in t

The problem with readiness-based IO for disk is that without starting the request it doesn't know where it needs to read on the disk to fetch, so it can't possibly tell you if the data's ready. If you were to limit file IO t

Pretty sure it's more that IFLs are not allowed to run z/OS workloads. I think you can run Linux on CPs just fine, it's just more expensive.

Same way as you machine anything. Start with more material than you need and remove until it is the correct dimensions. In this case, start slightly heavier and polish until it is the correct weight.

Take a look at `--rebase-merges` if you haven't. It's new and kind of amazing. Works much better than `--preserve-merges` in my experience.

Use zsh. https://askubuntu.com/questions/23630/how-do-you-share-histo... It is possible to get similar effects by kludging around with bash, but it's a built-in feature in zsh.
