You do not need emoji. You need to communicate. Clear, concise, eloquent, and precise use of english* allows this to occur. The reason that this breaks down is because too often people resort/revert to using slang or not thinking befo

I've upvoted you, but this has bugged me for awhile. While I understand that we should be calling it a DDOS, it isn't an 'attack'; so that seems a little severe. Can't we just go back to calling it 'slashdotted

Not pyro-based fun, BUT a fun project nonetheless. Take a laser-pointer(s) and at multiple intervals map the trail of the reflection. Find out where the focal point is, and post for fun. For bonus geekiness use some dry-ice to better illum

It's really inspiring and impressive the stability of these kites. The weight to lift ratios are also fantastic. The linked National Geographic articles are very informative and interesting. Methinks this would make an excellent plat

Point taken and acknowledged. I was on a bit of a rant. Question regarding the "loss" of the oceans: Won't that turn the atmosphere into 'soup'?

When will people stop with this hyperbole? The planet; as-in this rocky, water-world orbiting Sol, will exist for BILLIONS of years. The _life_ on this planet AS WE KNOW IT is dying, along with ourselves. That is a huge difference and one

Am I the only person who thinks that the UI peaked at Windows2000? It seems to me that in Win2000 the entire 2D interface/look was perfect, it refined the Win95/98 interface. Sharp lines allowing for easy visual separation betwee

No, I have no public sources I can share. Just relaying what our CDN's have shared with me. I also can't provide anything specific. Sorry, I know it's unreliable and rumor but it's all I can provide.

I have seen that the TX2 was recently released. I let our R&D department know about it. (I don't know if they ordered it or not)

I was unintentionally vague. I should have said 'output'. At the bottom of this post I have copy/pasted output from my original tests. That was not CUDA, the task I was working on specifically (and only) used the NVENC encod

We do a lot of work on video encoding. We have had a K80, Titan X(Maxwell), Titan X(Pascal), 1080, 1080Ti, and others (including render-farms based on GTX980's). General thoughts: Don't expect to get _any_ information out of NVid

Non-FPS excellent AI: DF has already been mentioned, but an excellent DOS-based game that I used to play on my 386 was Commanche Maximum OverKill. (helicopter combat sim) The game proudly stated this in the manual: (bad quote from memory)

I had a brain tumor removed in 1990 (epilepsy sucks). I was awake for the entire procedure (12hrs). And spoke with the doctor and nursing staff while it was going on. My only regret was not asking for a mirror so that I could watch. Many

Would there be any dispute if my wife gave birth while we were on vacation in France? I suspect that those who really hold to that definition are primarily concerned about the amount of melanin in his skin.

I'll chime in with a "met too!". i3 + tmux (it's the only sane way to manage servers.) I'm a sysadmin (not a developer like most of the HN crowd) so I usually have 10+ terminal windows open (depending on what projec
