Problem: browsers are designed for documents, not rich applications Solution: javascript

I don't know, the "front" is all business - ordered, structured, conforms to the standards. The back is a jumbled, messy, non conforming. It's a party back there.

Not sure what the problem is but your current fix is working :)

At orbital velocities, even a loose nut could cause significant damage.

With a non-circular orbit you can maximize the time spent over your target area by having a high apogee over target, and a lower perigee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molniya_orbit

I'm seeing a flash of lines, a flash of text, and then it all disappears. Tried in chromium, google chrome, and firefox, similar behaviour on all three. edit: just to confirm, i did clear all caches to pull in any new style etc

Ditto for chromium on linux. Can't see the majority of text.

I wouldn't want to be the one debugging this. Talk about pressure to deliver and difficult constraints!

There looks to be a dormant attempt at the alpha stage here: https://github.com/runexec/PossibleDB for bonus points, it uses rethink as the backing store

This is a project I've kept a closer eye on, as I'm thoroughly fascinated with Datomic, and the concept of using a similar system alongside functional approaches like React seems a good match. Would love to hear comments from anyo

you are correct that ksp orbits are kepler, no playing with things like lagrange points. with that said you can do some cool stuff, especially when you get into exploring the available mods. kOS might be of interest to you - it adds the abi

That would be the difference between printing and logging

While that is true I think that most users will be oblivious to the commonalities - as developers we are not only familiar with bootstrap but also with the myriad developer-built sites that are more likely to use it

Be aware that the free cert does not support certificate transparancy. This will lead some browsers - notably chrome but I imagine there are/will be others - to give a user warning about SSL integrity. There are supposedly some workaro

This isn't really the best place for the question, and besides that you'd need to provide a hell of a lot more information for anyone to help you.

I'm sure that is the vision, but you don't get there on Day 1

As a "scruffy looking guy", what does it tell you? I'm curious what you are able to glean about me and other "scruffies" by virtue of our facial hair

Leap Motion has been a pretty big let down, though I have not yet tried the latest tools they have released.

The skiing physics are hard to get right. No Tribes sequel has replicated it out of the box - it took several iterations of mods to get it right in Tribes 2, and Vengeance/Ascend were pretty garbage imo

by robertfw 11y ago
Tribes 2 was pretty crap when it came out but the Classic mod gave it much the same feel as Tribes 1. I lost several years to the competitive scene. There were organized competitions as recent as a year or 2 back, and there is still a publi

I grew up playing this as a kid, and I still have a copy installed. It is a simple, unassuming game, with the curious property of erasing large blocks of time from memory

> Waiting it out is not an option. This is where I am torn. The short term is horrific, but by engaging militarily it seems that we ensure that we have the same problems in the future. How do we break the cycle? How can we use the resour

no, it's a Realtek. When I got the laptop, it wasn't working due to a kernal bug. I was able to get Wifi going using an external dongle. Then a kernal update fixed the bug and the internal worked. Since then something has changed

Purely anecdotal but the driver support for wifi on my T540p has given me no end of problems

Then don't donate. It's their project, their time and effort, their choice.

I started using underscore, moved to lodash. I find them indispensable.

The reason for the single character library name is that by convention, the library is imported into a variable named "_". This reduces code noise and amount of typing if you are using these functions frequently I'm not sure

> When you need to write something inside of Language X or Y, instead of a C extension, you can use Rust. Are there any examples/discussion/information for interacting with rust from python, like you would a C extension?

That's missing the point. The journey is often more important than the destination (i.e., learning how to explore a problem space, learning how to deal with failure, etc)
