    This is about being able to package and provide the Weta toolset to Unity developers. Imagine making video games with the Weta toolset.

    Exactly what I do and I love it. The AppleTV Plex app was a game changer.

    If we learned anything from Lawn Darts, it was this. Maybe.

    Roll? Pitch? Yaw? Engine RPM? Prop pitch? Those are “most” of the controls... none of which require touchscreens. What controls are you referring to specifically?

    Unfortunately, just because you spend more doesn’t mean you get what you pay for. I spent 3 years in an education startup and I never saw such a correlation.

    First time I saw it was surreal. I was on a wine tour and on the way back to the hotel looked out the window and was gobsmacked. “Woah... that’s the Spruce Goose! The Spruce Goose …

    If your team can't check on that stuff manually for a few hours while Slack is down, then I think you may have bigger problems. If anyone on my team came to me and cited Slack bein…

    Then how do you explain the Maersk blockchain-based insurance trial that they found very successful? Bitcoin is not the only incentive that can be had in implementing blockchain te…

    Try to set up a sprinkler on the roof and just leave it... it'll go a long way to knock down any embers that may land on it.

    I've always known it as a battery isolator, and have purchased/installed 3 of them, and that's what I bought them as. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_isolator https://www.ama…

    It's called a battery isolator, and it's basically a monster diode from the alternator to the battery. Very common setup for RV's, etc. I had one set up in my Jeep so that it would…

    There were 5 of them that competed in this year's 24 Hours of Daytona, and Lambo is looking at an LMP1 car for Le Mans next year.

    Don't know about you, but an SSL certificate does nothing to increase my level of trust of a website.

    It's based on freely available data in the first place, and I'm sure an Open Source option will pop up to replace it. If it's truly "mission critical", then I don't see what's wron…

    As a long distance shooter, and lover of technology, I would most assuredly get a lot of joy out of this. Also, you'd be incorrect about this doing the hard work. They add the conc…

    Funny, the first thing I thought of was long-distance target shooting or hunting, not mass killings. The fact that you immediately go to the sniper mass killings angle is what I fi…

    Agreed. It seems that she involved them in a battle not of their choosing, one that they apparently don't want to fight, and she has since suffered the consequences.

    True. My bad, and edited previous comment appropriately. Seems that she got the attention she sought, but it quickly became a case of "be careful what you wish for". A little bit o…

    No. She made a big stink about what she overheard in a private conversation between two friends, and posted it on Twitter. Probably would not have been a big deal except that one o…

    What constitutes a DB? Can we have "custom" as an option? We wrote 2 very light, single-use DB's for two specific use cases in order to get some performance we needed on real-time …
