Releasing a freeware last version when a product is discontinued is a great practice that I wholeheartedly support (and I do this myself wherever possible).
Interestingly, this technology can do 110ms glass to glass for video on generic hardware, but even "gaming" Bluetooth headphones (among those that don't require a special dongle) still cannot achieve 110ms of sound latency from software to speaker.
When you say "in their driveway", you are already excluding everyone who doesn't have a driveway. I can recall maybe two or three people I know who have their own driveways.
I chuckle when Americans say that their "5 over 1" buildings "all look the same". This is nowhere near the level of sameness that I'm accustomed to see here in Eastern Europe. To my eye, these buildings look very distinct from each other.
I'm buying the same brand and model of jeans for the last 10 years. Recently I put on an old pair and found that my modern mobile phone doesn't fit in its pocket.
If you liked this article, you will probably also enjoy "Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time" by Sean Carroll (I listened to it as an audiobook, I don't know what other formats it is available in).
I'm about to write some code that will allocate a random buffer, take a checksum of it, and just sit on the buffer, periodically checksuming it again until a bit flips. Or maybe even allocate a buffer of zeros and wait until a non-zero appears in it.
As I'm lucky to have a flexible schedule, I aim to wake up early, but not earlier than sunrise (sunrise is 7:36 where I live today, for example). Thus my early-wakeup ambitions are higher in summer and lower during winter.
It's 2020, people talk a lot about self-driving cars and travelling to Mars, and yet such terrible preventable tragedies still happen even in successfull countries to successful people. So sad.
"CIS" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Independent_St...) does not equal "Former USSR". Ukraine is not (and has neven been) a member of CIS. If you want to say "former USSR", just say "former USSR". Don't try to use "CIS" as a kind of a euphemism for "former USSR", this is simply a different thing with a different meaning.
Sorry for the rant, but I think someone will find it useful.
I would be 100% comfortable flying the MAX if they either added a third AoA sensor or removed MCAS altogether (introducing a new type). They did neither.
Support 60.00 Hz based frame rates and not just 59.97, and don't forget about 50 Hz as well. Think thoroughly about conversion between all of them when mixed source footage is used.
I got so excited by the news about Quest 2, I was certain would by it, until I learned that "Quest headsets best accommodate IPDs between 56 and 70 mm, or about 95% of adults". My IPD is 74 - no luck this time.
