I'm not sure about this. I've taken out some loans to finance my education, but overall I would say both experience and financial ROI have been totally worth it.
If I went to any other program, I doubt that it would have been that way (given, the thing I went to school for is weirdly specialized).
Part of the reason this idea was pretty viral/successful is because anyone could try it out right away, without the usual nonsense that comes with running open source code locally.
Sure that helps you with the initial cruft of drivers and stuff, but later on down the road there will be many obscure things that don't work right on your specific distro w/ some weird specific fix/workaround that can only be found after googling for hours.
This! The pre shutdown and post startup stages are infuriatingly slow, and the message that says 'Please Don't shut off your PC' makes me want to strangle it with its power cable.
This has been around for a while but has been stuck at 'Coming Soon' forever. Does anyone know what the status of this project actually is? I suspect that it has been stalled for some reason or the other.
I agree. I feel like the author is alarmed that there are really expensive glasses that are getting even more expensive, but you can also still get cheap, good glasses as well.
fish is nice but I've ran into too many issues where some weird shell command / script I find online is expecting to be in bash and I have to switch out of fish, so its hard for me to switch.
You should wait and see what the performance/reliability of these are. In almost every case, the GPU completley uses up the Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth, causing lag / reduced performance of the GPU and peripherals.
Although this is changing now, when the iPhone 6 first came out it really was supposed to be miles ahead came to hardware quality. Apple said it, the blogs said it, etc.
It's interesting that our continued insistence on not signing a peace treaty because of humans rights violations has allowed them to continue for even longer.
I don't think that's the point. Many of us have ourselves or seen someone we know go up to present and have private notifications be displayed as they hustle to turn on Do not Disturb. While they aren't as extreme as this, these are funny and make the viewer recall a time when they were in this situation, and perhaps see how much better they'd be if the downloaded the app.
I think focusing on the safety statistics is somewhat of a red herring. Uber wins when you get hung up on how well its self-driving cars drive, because that's something that they can improve. Instead, I think we should focus on the fact that these dangerous machines are being operated by chronically irresponsible companies and because cars in general have issues, not because we expect them to be less safe than human drivers.
The true problem with piracy is actually not the issues that others have mentioned with readers disallowing sideloaded files.
The main issue with piracy is that both Amazon and Apple have far more advanced typesetting systems in the custom file types (Kindle Format 8 and iBook format) that you get when you buy from their store.
The .epub format its still based on what, XML? .epub makes up most of what you see when you pirate. If you look closely you can see that most epubs actually are really badly typeset compared to the versions of the store.
Tell me if this is just me being a novice but the main dealbreaker for me with Fish was the fact that I had to re setup every thing like PATHS and stuff (tbh i'm not really sure what. There is a long list of weird customizations i've made to support various projects/libraries/etc, copied off stack overflow, that I don't remember) I would try to run commands that work in bash that wouldn't work in Fish. I would get so confused by it all that I just took fish off, as much as i liked it.
How does this cost $1,000? The budget is clearly not being used efficiently. The only computing part, the 9 RPi's are 315$ all together. So what, 685$ of plastic and accessories. Hmm....
Yes, take a look at the Oculus Santa Cruz. It's still in development, but it has I think 4 very wide angle global shutter cameras on it. It is using a similar kind of Visual Inertial Odometry to things like ARKit and ARCore. Like the other posters have said, there is no way to get the kind of precision required for immersive HMD with a single mobile quality rolling shutter camera/lens setup and IMU.
