Project CARS was patched today to support the Vive (Can't wait to try this with my wheel). You can pick it up for 20$ on humble bundle here if people are interested:The Humble Store: Great games. Fantastic prices. Support charity.

http://imgur.com/4kwfKfY If that's to believed there should be a ton of Vive shipments going out now (the reddit shipping thread seems to confirm it) and the flow them should be increasing. Sounds like the HTC had a supply problem that was limiting how many they could build and they're in...

Yea you're probably right, I can't seem to find anything in my profile that says June. Good to know, I was concerned that the charge didn't go through and the month was blank because of it. Sounds like they just delay it until they're ready to ship.

Does yours still say June? My shipment month now reads as blank, and I don't have a hold on my CC...

They've got 10 billion in pending contracts, it honestly sounds like SpaceX is going to be around for awhile (unless some real competition springs into action).

I rather reluctantly pulled the trigger on a HTC Vive, fucker is 1300$ Canadian. It looks like mine won't ship until some time in June, which works out well since the next-gen video cards aren't out until then anyways.

Reasons to colonize Mars~ - The gravity is a lot lower than earth's with a lot of similar resources. It'd be a much better place to mine and launch large space craft/space modules. - No life to destroy, do as you please. Strip mine that fucker till there is nothing left, no crying hippies...

Plebs Genre: Comedy First Aired: 2013-03-25 Overview: Plebs follows three desperate young men from the suburbs as they try to get laid, hold down jobs and climb the social ladder in the big city – a city that happens to be Ancient Rome. I didn't see a thread for this one~ One of the...

Yea the pressure of the atmosphere is so high that we can build floating cities that would sit above all the terrible shit at ground level. At the height that the cities would float you'd be looking at similar atmospheric pressure to earth and the temperature outside would fluctuate between...

They probably wont' care, the current plan they have will only fire off about one per day. Lasers have two ways to increase their power, you either increase the power source and all the hardware to support it like cooling etc or you can do beam additions. Their plan is to do the beam additions...

When I first saw this I thought it was amazing, but apparently it's pretty easy to train fungus to eat plastic, among other chemical compounds. It doesn't take more than a few generations of exposure before they'll start breaking it down. This guy has trained fungus to eat tons of different...

I finished up the season last night and overall I thought it was pretty good. The Snoop Dogg/Doug Benson/Tom Arnold bits were all much better than I thought they were going to be. I figured they were just going to shoe horn them in but they fit rather well in the season. I definitely loved the...

Why would they care? it's like saying countries go to war because their economies are better. Plus when they value those asteroid's are being worth trillions that's based on their current value, once you started mining that thing and those rare metals start flowing the prices will start...

Better question is who isn't a potential father, she was fucking every man that got within 10 feet of her in the last couple seasons.

The 20m asteroid that blew up over Russia in 2013 had the equivalent explosive power of 500kt of dynamite (approx 31 Hiroshima's). There are a ton of factors that play into where in the atmosphere an asteroid can explode (trajectory, momentum, mass, composition) but an air blast over a large...

This almost validates my point; if Furry is against it, you can be sure it's grounded somewhere in reality.

Sure ones that cause extinction events are pretty rare, but there have been several in just the last hundred years that could of wiped whole cities off the map if they hadn't hit a remote location. A large modern city like New York burning up and entering the atmosphere could be enough to cause...

I'd rather somebody (preferably not the Russians) be testing something to protect us. I'd put asteroid impact up there with climate change as things that we're all too satisfied to ignore until it's becomes a large problem we may not be able to overcome.

TPB is back March 28th for the 10th season! Trailer Park Boys on Twitter:

ShakeyJake no idea if this will help you but~ A large part of our company's platform is HTML5/JS based, but I primarily design the back end. About 3-4 months ago we were looking at how we could improve our UI code quality and encourage more people to be full stack developers. Most of the back...

I hope the company's worth it. I'd probably take a few shots at explaining why it's counter intuitive and if it didn't work out I'd just look for the promotion position at another company. I debated going back and doing a comp sci degree, but I'm 8+ years into actual work experience building...

They really want you to have a four year degree? Spending four years to get it when it would probably do nothing to make you better at your position and either be a distraction or even worse leave you little time to keep up on whats actually important. The policy just seems so short sighted and...

Thrift has a niftey JSON protocol that will serialize native objects in and out to something like 20+ languages. We commonly use it as our storage method for complex objects over things like JSON directly or XML. It's great getting to work with the actual native objects everywhere, and since it...

If people haven't checked out the series before then you need to check out the premiere for season 2. Jesus Christ was it awesome. Cocaine, butt stuff, random drugs, stealing a google car, waking up in a field.. so awesome. I can't do it justice without spoiling it.

I finished watching this last night and it was great. I thought they were going to wrap this all up in one season then move onto somebody else, but I guess not. My only criticism is the liberties they're taking with the order of events.. I won't dive into the details but the wiki paints a...

Our C++/C# application takes about 48 minutes using Incredibuild (Distributed build) in release, about 10 minutes in debug. 30mins+ of the release build is just linking though as we statically link all the libraries and that's slow as balls when you have optimizations turned on. We're currently...

There is a lot of investor blow back over them spending money generated in the search division of the company on projects that are completely unrelated to anything that drives them revenue and they go against what the company original set out to be. By psychologically breaking the two apart...

Out of curiosity, how do you guys have to track your time for the company you work for? Do guys have to account for every minute? Do you use a project management system to track time?

hah all I could think of the episode of South Park where Mr Garrison makes a new form of transport and when people initially get on it the "anal probe" would move slowly move into "place".

I can confirm this works. The first time I opened it was missing the option, but after some updates and a reboot it was available.

I don't know shit about R, but is it possible to split the datasets up into smaller batches to run many parallel jobs against smaller datasets then recombine the results in the end?

The problem with detecting oxygen is that water vapor in the atmosphere when hit with light, will break apart into oxygen and hydrogen. So we can't necessarily use it as a possible marker as life as there is a natural process that would make it detectable. Oxygen In Exoplanet Atmospheres...

Whats you're reasoning for this? Presuming he's just upgrading the drive to an SSD and there are no other hardware changes, I don't really see anything that warrants a full reinstall.

1. You've got it right. Kepler was designed to look at the same piece of sky for a long period of time looking for those blips. The only way to confirm a planet is to watch it pass in front of the star a few times. You need the first couple to determine a period and at least a third pass to see...

You can physically move a partition to another drive. So if you want to save your windows install you can shrink the windows partition down to a size that will fit on the SSD then copy that partition to the SSD. Not sure if most of your games are on steam, but steam supports moving games between...

They probably think every open source license is GNU. GNU - You only have to open source the code if you modify their original code. Now what you have to worry about is if you statically link the GNU module/library into you source code, as that triggers a clause in the license that you have...

Kepler-452b: Earths Bigger, Older Cousin -- Briefing Materials | NASA That's the media kit for the announcement, the pictures do a pretty good job of explaining the new planet discovery and why it's important.

Actually there was a pretty big uproar when some Chinese scientists were using embryos to modify (With CRISPR) them to remove disease. To get around the "moral" ramifications they were using embryos that weren't feasible and if it makes anybody feel better they failed. They managed to remove the...

Here is a great article on CRISPR gene editing and the possible implications. For anyone who doesn't know CRISPR is technique that allows for very precise gene editing, and it can be done very very cheaply. A lot of basic research on what genes do involves knocking them out of a species and see...

lol what? I edited out the pieces that weren't relevant to my rebuttal. You tossing "in a perfect world" doesn't suddenly make the content of your post good advice. The CPU cost of exceptions has to be weighed against what they give you in code complexity reduction and being able to unify your...
