I get a light version of it sometimes, though it depends on the game. One thing I learned to not skip is the IPD adjustment on the headset; it needs to be pretty close in order for the difference in perspective to fade into the background

When I first got my VR headset and had exhausted the usual killer apps, I popped open Google Earth VR and was kindof blown away. I managed to find one of the old neighborhoods I grew up in, popped into street view, and proceeded to literall

It's worth calling out here that for games that maintain a steady 30 Hz flicker (very common on NES, and even carried over to SNES in a few titles) played on an original CRT, the effect really works quite well, in part due to the slow

As much as I'm annoyed giving out my phone number at retail... I've got to admit, Square's "text me the receipt" thing feels like the future we should have. But it's a little bit odd that it needs an additional

Android has a similar feature in its Do Not Disturb mode. If you're not already in my address book, my phone simply does not ring. Everyone I need to hear from on a moment's notice is in there, and everyone else can leave a voicem

A friend of mine showed me this writeup when I asked a similar question, and it helps to clear up a lot of the "magic" movement: http://www.righto.com/2011/07/cells-are-very-fast-and-crowde... But in a n

I think growing up I feared the social stigma more than anything else. As I've become older though, and heard accounts from some of my friends who tried harder things... I realized what I don't like is the idea of an artificial hi

At this early stage in attempts at even semi-autonomous driving, I fully accept that if I purchase a vehicle with the sensor array, at least that manufacturer is going to get a whole bunch of data on my typical route and driving habits. Sin

Visual 6502 emulates the CPU not just at a logical level (performing equivalent instructions) but at a silicon level, simulating each transistor in the original chip at an electrical level as closely and as accurately as possible. This is

I can additionally recommend the GBA as an interesting fixed target. Lots of folks recommend an Arduino for this, and those are great little machines, but they have two problems. 1. they can be a bit too limited for a lot of potential pro

If you're willing to switch desktop environments, Cinnamon seems to at least consistently remember monitor layouts between different configurations. Mixed DPI is still garbage though; I think it's basically a poor underlying model

When I was at college a decade* ago, there were quite a few student carrying around an iPad with a keyboard cover, and doing all of their schoolwork on that. Heck, I understood the draw the moment I did the same with the (doomed, but then-n

The two most important things for me so far have been: - Keep a morning routine and a regular schedule - Regularly check in with my colleagues, and post progress updates. For my own personal anxiety, I'll not allow myself to feel guilt

Ditto for the Quest. I have a Vive Pro and a traditional gaming rig, and I'm very happy with it, but I can't deny that my friend's Quest is by far the more convenient setup. Even discounting the lack of power, the ability t

Something something regex and two problems. \s Seriously though, nice find! It's often surprising how tiny little curiosities can lead down the rabbit hole to such interesting problems. In this case, it was a fairly logical flawed as

Wordpress gets a hard pass for me specifically because (a) it has a plugin system that I've seen explode in practice far too often to trust, and (b) the task specifications provided by OP include marketing and management access to the

I think for it to be a clinical problem, there needs to be a struggle. Like, in my particular case, I enjoy staying up late. The neighbors are quiet, my housemates are generally falling asleep, and I've got an hour or two to myself to

The nice thing about this approach is admitting that it's _okay_ if you skip an exercise you're struggling with. It can be a little frustrating at times, and feed a little bit into that insecurity, but a key realization is that on

I run Sandstorm on a desktop tower in my office. If the network goes down I can still access it, which is surprisingly handy. If I wanted to, I could run it on my local workstation and not use a server at all. For most people, paying for a

While I can certainly appreciate a desire to get down in the nuts and bolts of a programming problem, and really understand what you're doing, I don't think that's required to spark the joy of learning in a new student. No,

To me, the modem running a closed source blob is okay so long as that entire system is acting as a slave to the host, and isn't integrated with that host. The PinePhone appears to be explicitly designed around a total lack of trust f

The primary reason I boot into Windows is to play videogames, especially VR, which just isn't stable on Linux yet. But that's not a bad compromise either; my Windows boot is for companies that are happy to sneak rootkits onto th

FOSS Android really isn't that bad, and probably the main thing stopping me from switching to iOS is that Firefox for Android has basically full extension support. uBlock Origin's UI is just slightly wonky since it's designed

I'm not at all familiar with this space, but I'm a bit surprised the kernel isn't wrapping the I2C transmission and helping to work around clock stretching issues anyway. Can someone who's more familiar with this impleme

Mind here that it can also be for the patient's peace of mind. My grandfather was faced with a similar dilemna, terminally ill from pancreatic cancer, with a long-shot to try to cure it. The doctors were wonderfully frank about the p

Stop appears to cause the old instance to play through to the end, but not start a new instance right away. So it works, but it's really delayed; I think most users would expect an instant mute from a button labeled "Stop." P

With JavaScript and the ability to request partial content, the protocol descriptor can also be bog-standard HTTP. The player is doing the "streaming" work at that point. Most of the existing players are far more fancy, and will t

I've long since run with the notion that if you must have Smart TV features, do it with an external box. Last time I checked the Roku devices were decent for this, but there's a bunch of alternatives, and some lovely FOSS stuff (K
