Every nuclear promise has come to naught, nuclear has already failed so instead of wasting our resources on something that provides no energy return it's time to try something different.
Nuclear power is the largest source of electricity in the country, with a generation of 379.1 TWh, or 71.6% of the country's total production of 519.4 TWh, the highest percentage in the world.
Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) in Houston is actually on the list at #41 with 4 petaflops, but right next door is British Petroleum's cluster which I don't see on the list. This says it's 9 petaflops which would put it around #20. Shell also has some large clusters here.. I think around the astrodome area. Exxon has at least one Cray up north in the Woodlands which I don't see on the list either.
Is X-Plane 11 with native VR support the best Virtual Reality Flight Simulator of 2017? Today I'm trying out the advanced X-Plane 11 VR Flight Sim on HTC Vive, flying a realistic Cessna 172 Skyhawk airplane in central Chicago. Is this the best VR Flight Simulator? Let's find out!
Harvey made landfall twice. It did reach inland a bit south-east of Austin and made it's turn back out into the Gulf where it curved back towards Houston as a tropical storm and stalled for a couple days.
The highest storm total rainfall, found in Nederland, northeast of Houston. Rainfall within a tenth of an inch of that total was recorded in Groves, a neighboring community. These both exceed the previous U.S. rainfall record of 52 inches, set by Hurricane Hiki in Hawaii in 1950.
I had to wade out of my apartment in chest-deep water during Harvey. Those 50-60 inches of rain amounts happened over 3 days, not 1 week.
I meant the standard as an open API isn't deprecated and will still be advanced with new versions and features going long into the future.. with or without Apple. ie. OpenGL isn't dead, but I've noticed a lot of people think it is because there's Vulkan now.
I see this mistake being made a lot lately since Vulkan is the new shiny thing. It is still recommended to write to OpenGL if you are developing directly on top of a graphics api. Vulkan is more for lower level engine developers. Looks like Apple just wants to push their own api here?
There's no reason Python can't be used in the client webbrowser (but, I agree, I'm not aware of anyone using it in production). I think Rice university uses Skulpt for some of their online programming courses: http://www.skulpt.org/
Netscape originally wanted to embed Scheme in the browser, Sun wanted them to use Java.. they settled on creating something new with syntax similar to Java:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In 1995, Netscape Communications recruited Brendan Eich with the goal of embedding the Scheme programming language into its Netscape Navigator.[8] Before he could get started, Netscape Communications collaborated with Sun Microsystems to include in Netscape Navigator Sun's more static programming language Java, in order to compete with Microsoft for user adoption of Web technologies and platforms.[9] Netscape Communications then decided that the scripting language they wanted to create would complement Java and should have a similar syntax, which excluded adopting other languages such as Perl, Python, TCL, or Scheme. To defend the idea of JavaScript against competing proposals, the company needed a prototype. Eich wrote one in 10 days, in May 1995.
I can't speak for gedit, but that isn't correct about root canals. The point of the operation is to remove the nerves/pulp from the tooth canals so it doesn't cause pain anymore. The nerves are definitely there and shouting loudly when they are removed.
The Planets
You'll want the British version because the US version, incredibly, cuts out a hell of a lot of the Soviet accomplishments! Pretty much have to torrent to find that copy. I was completely unaware of how close the Russians were in the space race before this series. Well directed too.
The ship going to mars is fueled multiple times while in earth's orbit. I guess the fuel is too heavy, so they are spreading it out over multiple launches. They are talking about reusing the same tanker to do this too:
LOREN GRUSH 3:21:49 PM EDT
Tanker will go up 3 to 5 times to fill up the ship.
I believe you meant to reply to the post above me? I was arguing the same thing as you. Development for the Playstation, apparently can use either their own GCM library or an OpenGL ES compatible api called psGL... so that would be another exception in addition to Apple's Metal api.
Sorry for that obvious question but is there left any software still using OpenGL?:-) (mesa demos do not count)
The first things that come to mind would be any hardware accelerated 3D graphics not targeting a Microsoft-only platform. Any software or games that are compiled against D3D and run through Wine are implicitly using OpenGL. All iphone and android apps are using OpenGL. Scientific visualization applications are most likely using OpenGL along with any other industry that goes back to the early 90's or before. I don't see a whole lot wrong with OpenGL for my needs, and Vulkan doesn't seem to add a whole lot that I can't do already though it is apparently necessary for pushing the envelope wrt next generation game engines.

You completely left out the difficult parts of the Oculus SDK like corrections for lens distortion and chromatic aberration. Their SDK also does a ton of work when your app can't meet the 75 fps vsync target of the hmd and starts doing its "time warp" frame interpolation based on current head orientation. There's a hell of a lot more they are planning before the final release next year with things like layers for distant objects which shouldn't need to be rendered twice and their custom spatial input controllers.
There's OSVR.. though it appears that they are doing the lens correction via shaders and I don't think they have a driver for the Oculus head tracking yet. I build against the Oculus SDK 0.4.4 on Linux because that's the _only_ thing available to me right now. If only I had the luxury of choice.
What are your thoughts on why it is that Linux doesn't have a higher adoption rate?
You might want to limit that question to some subset like just "desktops". afaik, Linux still has the highest install base of any operating system:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
They didn't just pause development. They ripped the whole thing out of their source distribution along with the build utilities except for msvc project files. "Pause" would have meant at least keeping and accepting patches for what they had.
Even if they support Linux, you still need people producing content for it that also supports Linux. I have a DK1, and while I did manage to get it going on my gentoo install, there was (and honestly still is) very little to actually play with. I ended up just installing Windows on a second drive.

Seriously? Nuclear power in France has been going strong for decades without issue.
Nuclear power is the largest source of electricity in the country, with a generation of 379.1 TWh, or 71.6% of the country's total production of 519.4 TWh, the highest percentage in the world.

uhh, like, as compared to OpenGL..

Correction, I meant Kingdom of Plants
