No, because if parsed as a JPEG, arbitrary code wont be run. If the jpeg was somehow parsed as JS, then possibly yes.

As another comment said - the culprit might not be USB 3. It could possibly be your monitor? I had an old monitor (not CRT) that made strange noises when the whole screen refreshed, such as when scrolling. I could possibly see that causing

No. SONAR sends out an ultrasonic ping and times the response of its echo to get a distance. This project is similar in that it involves visualization from audio, but apart from that, it's quite difference. This is the ability to see a

I work in the NYC office where this is. The button wall is interactive and cycles through various modes that are mostly pretty abstract and colorful, but clicking the button will make a propagating disturbance depending on the mode. One of

It was introduced in ES6. It's still using prototyping behind the scenes, but it's quite a bit nicer to look at.

Is ppm by volume? Because lead weighs significantly more than lithium as the GP said.

Yes, but it wouldn't save any space. As a thought experiment, think of it this way: How would we enumerate all these several gazillion image possibilities? Well. Let's say number one is all black. Every pixels and every channel is

Not quite - think of it this way: 5 x 3 = 5 + 5 + 5 5 ^ 3 = 5 x 5 x 5 5 t 3 = 5 ^ 5 ^ 5 Where t is tetration. Each one counts 3 fives.

Acer c720 owner here - people tend to mock chromebooks all the time as glorified web browsers. To some extend, that's true. Most things I do that aren't development related are done on a web browser. It's absolutely perfect f

I have an Acer c720 too and I run Java on it. Minecraft, believe it or not runs at 40fps. But I had to find the proprietary drivers.

On an unrelated note - I read your term 'jury-rigged' and was thouroughly confused for a good minute. It sounded right in my head, but reading it on paper (screen) it looked wrong. Except looking up 'jury rigged' led to

Hey! Recent NJIT alumn - great to see something so creative like this come from my home turf. Really impressive work!

This sounds like the opinion of someone who hasn't tried VR in any measure. I could be wrong, and maybe you have. I agree that there is a ceiling of how much VR as a technology can 'blur the lines' of reality, but as someone

Are you sure you tested the Oculus CV1? There's been many hardware iterations from Oculus and the latest one that people have been sampling has gotten very good reviews, some better than the Vive. I'm not saying that I know for a

The Rift most certainly has head tracking - perhaps you're getting confused with Gear VR, which lacks positional tracking.

"First world problem" is a way of saying that the problem is very low stakes and would only appear in an area where people already have their more basic needs attended to. For example, if I want my coffee to have cinnamon in it an

Wow, just recently I was looking up all about spider silk, thinking we weren't utilizing it to its full potential - whether medical, military or even fashion. Very excited about this, though it will probably be extremely expensive.

Well, the benefits of Electron or NW.js compared to a Web App are things like filesystem access - as well as the entire Node JS ecosystem, which has many modules, some capable of performing native operations in a variety of different platfo

Looks really nice, I love the concept behind it, and avoiding trying to quantify everything. Of course I have to ask the obligatory 'Any timeline for an android release'? If not, that's perfectly alright, I was just curious.

Part of the article actually uses this as in exact example of how brains are different from computers. Granted, it's from 1983. The man in question essentially missed the forest for the trees - unable to perform any visual abstraction

It isn't really, but I guess it's so that in the future, if more apps are built with nwjs, it's possible to just download the 'runtime' and then each program sees if its installed, then downloads it if needed.

I think that 'law' is better applied when the headline is trying to catch attention by making an aggressive claim, but wants to not be straight up lying. Here it's genuinely taking a skeptical point of view on binaural beats.

Exactly. I did a presentation about this for an IT class recently. It's astounding how many 'tip of the iceberg' diagrams are out there, implying that tor is 10 times bigger than the regular internet, and filled with dark and
