Honestly, working with all the restrictions of an embedded system like this is something that all programmers should experience at some point. Being forced to actually consider how you're using resources teaches you a lot about how

Sure, you can disprove any point if you allow impossible hypotheticals like "if you could perfectly predict the future". You aren't making a point, you're arguing to argue.

I actually laughed out loud when I clicked the article and saw the bike. It's like you crossed an old iPhone with a razer scooter and tried to build a bike from a description over the phone.

Literally nobody would miss it. We'd need another state to pick on, though. Probably West Virginia.

He bet the farm on VR being "the next big thing". I very much think he's right on that count. The plan was most likely to try and disrupt the VR market like they did social media, and attempt to capture (hold hostage) a signi

There is a lot of work going into hand tracking and natural interactions these days. People seem to feel much better and more immersed when they can use their hands to manipulate virtual objects. Oculus has this very neat trick with their

VR motion sickness is a tricky problem. Much like regular motion sickness, some people get over it after a period of time, and some never do. It's highly dependent on the type of VR content you're looking at. For most people, the

That's the R in VR: reality. The focus in VR games right now is creating realistic interactions. Ideally, your controllers should be only for interacting with meta content, like menus and other things "outside" of the game, o

I wouldn't expect any intern to be thoroughly familiar with those topics. Each one is an entirely different specialization that goes extremely deep. If you need someone to write a network stack and a concurrent database system, you d

I extremely regret clicking this link. For the curious, most of the photos just look like a weird tumor on top of the mouse head. A few display spindly growths that look like cordyceps. It's very gross and kind of disturbing.

That's not what daemons are... At all. A better comparison would be literally any sci-fi book where everyone has a personal AI. Spider Robinson's Stardancer trilogy is the first one that comes to mind.

That the enhanced photo contains the wrong data would seem to pretty clearly prove that it is not enhancing the data from the camera sensor and instead using pre-existing photos as the data source.

That's not how it works.

This looks like my worst nightmare. New tab is full of notification badges. Sidebars within sidebars. Hierarchical tabs so you never know where any tab is. Pop-ups and flyovers and all kinds of shiny distracting animations. It's the ab

The hospital installed water filters, a lack of free chlorine in the water allowed bacteria to grow in the ice machines. So really these patients died because the hospital didn't properly clean and maintain their ice machines.

Huh, I had no idea Pidgin was still around. I used to have it running at all times back when MySpace was still around. Good times.

Honestly I don't really get why we don't have markdown everywhere . For adding italics, underscores, and other simple formatting I haven't found anything better. Once you get the hang of basic syntax, it becomes completely

Imagine seriously believing that savings will actually "trickle down" to consumers. They'll charge a premium for these features.

An article like this? You publish for the common good of everyone, not a quick buck. This is like adding a subscription pop-over on a tornado warning message

This comment is the first time I've ever seen an individual care about USB certification. It's about as effectual as the CE mark.

I can't fathom why, but Spotify really wants to put Rob Zombie in playlists he shouldn't be in. Like a chill list with John Mayer and Jack Johnson and suddenly.... Dragula.
