   Cool, when can I look forward to a power plant using such a design?

   I'm always expecting articles about multimedia or video compression from that domain, and I'm always let down.

   Maybe not physically but novel sensors (depth sensors, multi-camera arrays) and image processing algorithms make it possible to simulate these effects to a degree that would satisfy most users.

   The $1500 figure from the article seems to include the PC that drives the Oculus.

   I'm always disappointed by an oral history that I can't listen to.

   Yea, better to do nothing, I'm sure it'll sort itself out.

    Kind of disappointed to hear that there isn't much custom stuff going, especially with iq as their VFX sup.

    I like that line about how the Oculus' audio quality is on par with $250 headphones. What a deal!

    If you commit a large binary file and iterate on it a bunch you'll notice that your repo size explodes. That's why there have been multiple efforts (e.g. git-annex, Git Large File Storage) to improve performance with large binary

    I've seen CMOS pixel designs in the past that can detect saturation and effectively dump the well (reset) repeatedly until saturation no longer occurs.

    You must be too young to remember the original Sesame Street: wild birds interacting with French mimes. Now THOSE were the good old days.

    Can somebody explain how this design differs from existing self-resetting pixel designs?

    I'd wager that the authors of this code of conduct subscribe to the "prejudice plus power" definition of racism.

    I'm surprised at the reactions in the comments. Both OnLive and Gaikai were doing this around 2008 and nobody seemed to give a shit.

    What are the differences between an M-16 LR and an AR-15 LR? Is there anything that's keeping them from manufacturing select-fire M-16 LRs? Are the other parts of an AR-15 (e.g. barrel, stock, UR) incompatible with an M-16 LR? I don&#x

    I get that the threshold for just-noticeable color difference is much lower if the tiles are touching but I found the Hermann grid illusion that arose from using spaced-out rounded squares to be very distracting.

    You were already being down-voted when you added that bit. Reddit doesn't exactly have the best record of self-policing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversial_Reddit_communiti...
