… I actually wonder if the graphics cards could multiplex across multiple dp to a single display.

Did anyone find it suspicious that the FBI didn’t identify and publish a direct motive? Do you think the reason for his nutjob behavior was somehow covered up by the FBI because of the administration?

Federation of a service is confusing because it is a difficult problem to conceptualize. There’s no way to easily explain how to use federated services to non techies.

For me? That’s fine. I can use federated stuff.

For my mom? Nope. But she needs to get off the internet in general so that’s probably a bad example.

Honestly I kind of agree with op’s submission. Apple just didn’t have a real plan for what they wanted it to be. It sits in an awkward niche between AR and VR and it sucks at both as a result.

A heads up display that could overlay useful information onto the world around you would be amazing.

• Provide directions.
• Point out businesses that are hard to find in a crowded city.
• Give real-time measurements and placements for construction (this is already a thing).
• Pokemon Go

The problem is that the apple vision is huge and bulky. They need to shrink it down to the size of big nerd eyeglasses. Microsoft did the same thing with their whatever it was called. I played with it a few times at different tech demos. It was garbage from the start because it was heavy, uncomfortable, and the refresh rate was intolerably slow. Apple’s is a slight improvement in a few categories but it still completely misses the point of what AR should be.

JFC more of this? I really wish the FCC had the teeth to prevent this shit.

You’re right. But it is a factor of how much you drive. If you’re really down to ~10km/yr then you’re not the problem. Most of America, however, drives about 30km/yr. That kind of mileage adds up quickly with poor inefficient gigantobeast 4x4 dickreplacer500 trucks that are primarily used for grocery getters and work commuters. So EVs have their place - especially in that world.

Only so many people want to hear him talk.

When I originally typed it, I made a function for string reversal and called that. But I didn’t include it since I didn’t want to define that too.

Honestly… this wiki has a seriously difficult path ahead of it. I mean - it’d be fantastic if it did simplify things like that to let you write simple, elegant, and easy to read functions while linking to other functions.

But it’d also have to lint those and make sure that contributors don’t implement recursive dependencies.

I think you’re absolutely correct about them choosing those awful identifiers so the functions are not language specific. It just hurts to read and thoroughly makes it harder to understand because my brain doesn’t tokenize “Z10096” and “Z10096K1”.

Neat. I don’t like that the implementations have to name the function by some cryptic identifier, though. Real words matter in source code.

Who can tell me what this function is?

def Z10096(Z10096K1):
    return Z10096K1 == Z10096K1[::-1]

How about this?

def isPalimdrone(myString):
    return myString == myString[::-1]

Normally I would retort “But we paid money for it - so they need to support it”. However I got my Win10 license by upgrading an XP machine to 7, then to 10. So I guess I didn’t pay for it. My other Win10 machine was originally an OEM Win7 license.

But whatever. When they rugpull Win10 I will just complete move to Linux. The only thing holding me back is some industrial software that I use for work and they’re in the process of multi-platform support.

I had a few come over and I was already in the market for solar so I entertained them for a minute. I told them “OK, give me some invoices for your other customers so I know what you charge. Black out the names, I dont care - I just want the prices of your services and materials”. These idiots would not stop calling me or coming over to my house for months. I kept telling them “Unless you give me actual, real world dollar amounts, I won’t consider it”.

Those solar sales guys are worse than used car salesmen.

I’m stuck with it because of work. Luckily, “Industry 4.0” is completely fucking fed up with M$ and they’re abandoning Windows in droves. I’m just waiting for my vendor to finish polishing their MacOS and Linux alternatives.

Them taking control away from me makes me not use them. Not a problem at all.

I said it was going to by my last version of Windows. Coincidence?

OneDrive is really just an alias for a networked drive that points to a cloud location and is baked into every instance of Windows. Most OneDrive instances are for personal computers and they’re inaccessible to everyoen else. But you can manually share files.

SharePoint is a flexible enterprise website and fileserver for an organization to customize.

Teams is a Slack ripoff that allows employees to create teams with channels within those teams, and freeform chats. It also has a filesharing component to it.

It is awful to work around the half-dozen ways to store and share files. Really. Microsoft needs to unfuck this.

XM… as in the radio? That’s unidirectional, low-bandwidth. It could be served by geostationary because the latency from source to receiver doesn’t really matter.

However, the internet is highly transactional and thus it requires a very low latency. LEO was chosen because it is closest - the speed of light is the dominant factor for latency when comparing GST and LEO. Yes, that increases costs, but it is the only way to make the internet served by satellite be suitable for modern day use.

Ever try a TinyMight? I’ve got one and love it - but I’m curious how it holds up to a collection like yours.

Because math and science are large interconnected fields that you simply cannot learn from a textbook study. You must speak with other people about many different topics so you can broaden your understanding of where your education fits in the world around you.

Have you ever studied a particular subject and wondered “OK… I can solve that problem now. Why did I learn it?” Textbooks are notoriously bad at explaining the why.
