Oh nice, I'm really happy to hear that because passing in a python script is a pain. I don't remember seeing it in the release notes. Maybe the developers didn't consider it a big enough change to warrant writing down.

I haven't used multiple gpus with different versions, but everything I've read suggests it should work. If one gpu is significantly slower than the other you might run into situations where the slower gpu gets stuck working on th

I do a lot of 3d rendering with Blender Cycles so I'm really happy to see the bump in cuda cores. The gtx 1080 didn't offer any significant performance boost over the 980 when it comes to rendering in blender. Right now for Cycl

Apple's iCloud is having issues too, probably stemming from AWS. Ironically Apple's status page has been updated to reflect the issue while Amazon's page still shows all green. https://www.apple.com/support&

It took me about 5 minutes to solve this in Swift. My first thought was to use a recursive function that takes an array with a generic type. I'm not sure that would have been my first thought under the stress of an interview. Its ve

Jailbreaks have been much harder to come by since iOS 10. There actually hasn't been a publicly available jailbreak of the current version of iOS since ios 9.3.4. The only way to have a jailbroken phone on 10 was to know ahead of tim

This is really interesting. For someone who knows nothing about the subject, how were DNA strands physically read at a low level before computational methods? I was under the impression DNA is too small to see without an electron microsco

I wonder if forbes will have to remove that annoying "Quote of the day page" or if this only applies to JavaScript popups. I also wonder how google distinguishes between things like floating nav bars and elements that obscure cont

Both kindle and iBooks have their own implementation of copy paste that prevents you from copying too much at a time, and auto inserts citations into your clipboard. The kindle copy functionality feels particularly sluggish and hard to use

I dislike the idea of transportation as a service. I would much rather own a self driving car and use it as a mobile office. Being able to get work done during my commute would be a major benefit. I imagine having a full size monitor wit

Great writeup. I interned for Medtronic and got to work on a web interface for the clinician side of a CareLink like project. It's encouraging that some energy was put into securing the monitor. Medical device companies get a bad ra

Cycles is definitely the way to go for most projects. Although I've found the blender internal engine can be significantly faster for simple renders. It's nice to have for those rare occasions when cycles is overkill but you stil

You'd probably have more luck asking this on blender stack exchange or blender artists. Here's what I found after a quick google search. It looks pretty similar to your question: http://blender.stackexchange.com/
