Holy shit you're one of those people who are basing their impressions of VR on what they know from ancient systems that lacked the basic performance requirements for acceptable VR. You guys are absolutely insane to think that what you had then gives you that experience. It's time for you to update your experience, fossil.
No, you're taking that generic perspective. That smartphone is a mobile internet terminal. Now I don't know about you, but when I was a youngling getting into the tech the Internet was the miracle that made it all happen. What do you think people use this stuff for? We're browsing the web, communicating with people, working remotely. Strap yourself in.
I grew up being questioned constantly, interrogated about what is so damn endearing about the computer that I would spend that much of my time on it.
It's been over 20 years and do you know what happened since that time? Every single one of those people uses a smartphone the way I used my computer.
Now I get interrogated about what is so damn endearing about strapping this blindbox on my head, and all I can really say is... it's the future whether you want it or not.
Ultimately, the big problem is that I don't see a real universal contender for high-performance native code taking over from C/C++. There are a lot of promising languages, but at the moment, nothing is really taking off. Simple inertia is pretty hard to overcome, as it turns out.
The whole reason that people claim C/C++ are dying or going out of style is that they are entirely disconnected from this point. They explicitly overlook the fact that the languages they are always citing are written in C/C++ and rely to an extreme degree on libraries written in C/C++ even when they manage to self-host the languages. It's an ignorance of what the tools they are using actually are.
Ignorance of the definition does not negate it.
The C statement "C++ > C" is not true because post-increment occurs after the statement has been evaluated.
Generally when this sort of thing breaks, it keeps breaking for a while. There are a lot of new routers on that list that weren't on it the last time I looked at it. I tell you what, it's not possible to do tech effectively if you filter this stuff as reposts.
You're fine. VR isn't going anywhere. Still waiting on Zenimax to produce anything that even hints that they were interested in VR *at all* before John Carmack left to develop it elsewhere. They're claiming that Palmer Luckey couldn't have built a functioning HMD without Carmack when one of his prototypes had been used in a room scale VR demonstration months before Carmack even got involved. It's all pretty silly.
Also I find it really amusing that Zenimax is so insistence that Oculus couldn't have built an HMD without their tech but I haven't heard them levy any such claims against any of the others who have produced HMDs. The only thing particularly unique in these devices is the drift correction provided by Constellation/Lighthouse, everything else can be found in your average smartphone. You can even put lenses in a piece of cardboard and slide your phone in. It's that simple.
Such a huge load of wasted effort for something that only affects the first page view of a new site at best. Just serve the damn file, it'll get cached whether it's on a third party server or local server, it doesn't matter at all for the subsequent page views.
Unfortunately, 3D printing just isn't fast enough yet. The printer might have capacity to print a 5 inch cube, but actually printing a 5 inch cube even if hollow is going to take all day.
Seems to be handling that money a whole lot better than the governments would. It takes more than welfare to be successful, and he's extremely successful.
That's a very good car analogy and it illustrates a deeper issue I have with the situation. Replacing an existing model with a new design that doesn't fill the same niche, leaving the users who relied on that device to perform that particular function high and dry. Apple has been getting worse and worse about it, like they're abandoning the entirety of the market that bought the devices because of their wide range of capabilities to target users who don't. I don't like it at all.
No, it's not okay, and I would never recommend it. But if someone thinks it's okay, then keep it on the iPad, don't do that crap on a real computer.
You don't need to buy the absolutely top end tablet. Jesus, the whole point of using the iPad in this context is that you don't need the capabilities of a full computer.
The MacBook is not a tablet alternative, the tablet is a MacBook alternative. Let's not let them screw things up by giving them THAT idea.
It's been really strange to me that Apple hasn't converged them when so many other OEMs have added touch capabilities to their PCs. Apple is slacking on this one big time. The iMac should have had touch before the HP TouchSmart, now Microsoft's Surface Studio has dropped and includes stylus support and Apple only just got their Pencil out but it requires the higher end iPad. Strange thing, this current market.
The thing that really got me was the first one they released with USB-C, the one that has a single USB-C port.
They released a Mac that you have to unplug to plug anything else into. It hurts so bad.
I spend a lot time working a computer repair shop, we've only had one come through so far.
It needed data restored from a dead Mac, and to be backed up to an external hard drive.
This involved charging it fully, unplugging it while we attempted to migrate data from the hard drive of the dead Mac in an enclosure, plugging it back in to charge it up again, unplugging it to create the backup on the external drive.
I really love the idea of having a Universal Serial Bus port that we can plug anything and everything into.
But if the machine only has one of those ports, they've missed the entire fucking point.
I would absolutely consider a Time Capsule or other NAS to be an external drive in this case. But fuck those wireless speeds when you're doing a full backup or restore.
Perhaps this is the better rocket technology and better motor, making it possible to use very cold propellants (higher fuel density) which would have caused previous rockets to fail on the pad every time while theirs has only done so once.
10 cents per kilowatt hour is the cheapest rate you'll find anywhere. That calculation is based on getting the cheapest possible power over the wire. Literally everywhere else in the world, the viability equation returns a solid YES.
That's a great example of taking a completely innocuous thing and making it a major race issue. The guy was reading a book about defeating the Klan and was charged with racial harassment for reading it.
But that's a completely different thing than painting all illegal Mexican immigrants as rapists, murderers, and thieves. That's not actually a stretch to interpret as racist. At all.

Whatever, dude. They blew it first.
Answer the same question regarding the major oil companies while you're at it.

Sounds like you should really be using an iPad in the first place if you think that's reasonable.

If she doesn't have an external drive being used as a Time Machine storage device, she's being negligent with her very expensive tools.
That's not what those battery explosions tell us.

The part where being illegal immigrants somehow makes them criminals in any way that is not being an illegal immigrant.
That's a great example of taking a completely innocuous thing and making it a major race issue. The guy was reading a book about defeating the Klan and was charged with racial harassment for reading it.

No. This article can't possibly be serious. This person does not understand what bash or sudo are enough to issue a sudo bash.
