Thank-you for your reply. I was glad to see that somebody understood the point I was trying to make, and expanded upon it.

That actually might help me!

You do not need emoji. You need to communicate. Clear, concise, eloquent, and precise use of english* allows this to occur. The reason that this breaks down is because too often pe…

I've upvoted you, but this has bugged me for awhile. While I understand that we should be calling it a DDOS, it isn't an 'attack'; so that seems a little severe. Can't we just go b…

Not pyro-based fun, BUT a fun project nonetheless. Take a laser-pointer(s) and at multiple intervals map the trail of the reflection. Find out where the focal point is, and post fo…

This was a touching story. Thank-you for sharing it.

Actually because I use NoScript, nothing at all shows up when I visit that URL. Empty white page. Defective site design.

It's really inspiring and impressive the stability of these kites. The weight to lift ratios are also fantastic. The linked National Geographic articles are very informative and in…

When will people stop with this hyperbole? The planet; as-in this rocky, water-world orbiting Sol, will exist for BILLIONS of years. The _life_ on this planet AS WE KNOW IT is dyin…

Am I the only person who thinks that the UI peaked at Windows2000? It seems to me that in Win2000 the entire 2D interface/look was perfect, it refined the Win95/98 interface. Sharp…

No, I have no public sources I can share. Just relaying what our CDN's have shared with me. I also can't provide anything specific. Sorry, I know it's unreliable and rumor but it's…

It looks like Telia is apparently the issue. Our CDN's are having problems all over the place. No indications of what shit the bed, but this is more then Cloudflare

Thanks!

Depends on what you are doing. ZFS storage servers: Hell yes High-value data in my DB? Hell yes email server: Nope super cool gaming rig: Nope * Cluster: Hell yes General office wo…

I have seen that the TX2 was recently released. I let our R&D department know about it. (I don't know if they ordered it or not)

I was unintentionally vague. I should have said 'output'. At the bottom of this post I have copy/pasted output from my original tests. That was not CUDA, the task I was working on …

We do a lot of work on video encoding. We have had a K80, Titan X(Maxwell), Titan X(Pascal), 1080, 1080Ti, and others (including render-farms based on GTX980's). General thoughts: …

Non-FPS excellent AI: DF has already been mentioned, but an excellent DOS-based game that I used to play on my 386 was Commanche Maximum OverKill. (helicopter combat sim) The game …

I had a brain tumor removed in 1990 (epilepsy sucks). I was awake for the entire procedure (12hrs). And spoke with the doctor and nursing staff while it was going on. My only regre…

Very surprised given this crowd that it isn't mentioned more.
