We need to worry more about LEO. Orbits decay automatically, but less and less the higher you go while still within LEO. There are many polar launches which makes debris come poten…

Well, at least MoltenVK is completely open source now (Apache 2 license). https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK So yes, Vulkan is kind of the universal graphics API now.

This is the sole reason we're not using Matrix/Riot yet. https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4488

Much lower than planes nowadays* Obviously planes in the future can use cleaner propellants too.

It will eventually be very low, much lower than planes. The same technology that is being developed to make propellant on Mars can be used on Earth to extract CO2 from the air and/…

That's true when you have more than the ratio between two things. But IMHO just a ratio or percentage is perfectly fine.

Let me put "ports" with quotes. I've played the Windows version of DOOM (2016) in Linux with same performance and didn't do anything special other than copying the configuration th…

That situation will probably change as soon as most games ship with Vulkan: Even if devs devote zero effort to porting to Linux, Vulkan makes it easy to run them with Wine with pre…

It's using setInterval on purpose, because with requestAnimationFrame the effect is a bit too fast.

> Doing optical imaging probably isn't feasible for a cubesat Planet Labs' Dove satellites aren't much bigger than a typical cube sat (they're like 3 cube sats stacked together), h…

A long time ago I played http://www.sindome.org but my English was not very good back then. Out of character talking was allowed but with a particular marking (I think it was doubl…

To avoid monsters, one torch covers a radius of about 7 or 8 blocks (in Manhattan distance). But judging by that bedroom screenshot, he's being really overboard.

Damn it! That explains there are no action shots or anything... I hope it exists one day... How would it work?

It exists already! (kind of... the ink is implanted but the active part is a gadget) https://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/moodinq-tattoo.shtml

The "experiment" is _how_ head tracking is used, not head tracking itself. I agree it's not exactly new, but nobody bothered to make it for the iPhone X until now.

The virtual cameras don't change (the games would have to be changed), so the parallax effect is not there. The only thing that changes is the grid of limes that obscures one image…

N3DS face tracking is only used to correct the stereo separation (so each eye sees a separate image without having to be exactly on the center), not to move the scene depending on …

Restart the whole browser. You probably had the GPU drivers updated while Chrome was running and now it's running in software rendering mode. Check my other comment in this thread …

If you use KDE, try disabling compositing with Shift+Alt+F12.

For Firefox, go to about:support and scroll down to the graphics section. Also make sure "use hardware acceleration when available" in the performance section of preferences is ena…

Is it scroll wheel hijacking when the scroll itself works as intended (as configured by the user) but some part of the content "locks" to the viewport? I'd say it doesn't touch the…

This is my experience as well. I don't use the standing position of my desk much, but I'm glad I have the option. Sometimes it helps me to get started or to not get distracted.

> the substitution suggested here implies the engineer mindset is only present in engineers. Not at all. I've known many people with an engineer mindset that don't have a degree. A…

Replace "engineers" by "people with the engineer mindset" and "the west" by "very populated areas".

Change and growth must start somewhere. I've used DDG for years but only recently I started recommending it to everybody, and endorsing Firefox as well.
