I believe Moonlight uses Nvidia's GameStream protocol, so it's not quite the same (you need an Nvidia card to use it).

Classic Mac OS (<10) used : as a directory separator, so it's probably related to that.

First person games as they exist today don't transfer well to VR. The issue is the locomotion problem: Moving the player in the virtual world but not the real world causes motion sickness, since they're not getting a matching inpu

I wonder if this reply isn't coloured by the stigma GP was trying to point out. Recklessness and paranoia aren't in themselves mental illnesses. What portion of the general population experience paranoia or recklessness vs people

The article you cited describes games that feature 2d projection of artificial 3d movement that doesn't correspond with the signals coming in to our vestibular system. The same is even more true for VR experiences -- artificial movemen

It's possible that the heart is the phenomenological seat of mind for some -- either innately or culturally -- irrespective of objective anatomy. Perhaps the problem with the religious articles is that they are being overzealous in try

It's already established that traditional FPS games don't translate well to VR (it's even mentioned in the article). VR is a relatively unexplored medium and it comes with new constraints as well as new possibilities. Long ra

I think it's a little unfair to compare the gedit UI at different sizes. I hastily mocked up how they would look at the same size: http://i.imgur.com/hb6TLEr.jpg Personally I love the minimal and uncluttered look. I do

Just a small note... when I changed my bootloader from Chameleon (BIOS) to Clover (EFI), I stopped encountering upgrade issues. Clover lets you do "native" OS updates without resorting to messing around with the bootloader. I upgr

There's some advantages to using a web-irc client. You get a clean way of scrolling back through your history. Unread message count is stored server-side. In general the state is synchronised where a bouncer can leave multiple clients

There's specs[1] for a third version of the irc protocol that seems to accommodate this. [1] https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/blob/master/sp...

Well persistence is a factor too. Say your display is updating at 120hz without low persistence... the image stays on screen for 8ms, so you have, say, 1ms of accurate image plus 7ms displaying an inaccurate image. For whatever reason our b

The persistence is just 1 factor... LCD response time is very slow compared to OLED (~5ms vs ~0.01ms). Every millisecond is important when it comes to VR.

It's not as good as the video implies... still quite easy to get it to glitch out. Notice in the demo video that they flip their hands pretty quickly. if you rotate them slowly things get a bit funky. I guess it's pretty hard to c
