How would that play out with TFS or SVN?

I dunno.

Status: Returned from a MS HoloLens demo. It's pretty cool. Definitely not the same as Oculus or the Sony thing.
$3000 for the dev kit though? Hmm, I'll wait.The FOV is reported to be relatively small. Did they comment on that?
-
I dunno.
There's no point saying something is stupid without frame of reference.
You should have done an exhaustive scientific research and got it peer reviewed and published, and then came back here to post your social media like status message.

Your mom.

The FOV is reported to be relatively small.
I'm not gamer-ish enough to truly notice, or if I did I automatically corrected it internally.Did they comment on that?
They commented that the most prevalent comment from the gamer community was about wacky FOV.If they're talking about what I think we're talking about, I think it's because the screens are so tiny and they assume you're not going to be moving your eyes whatsoever (in fact, they provide a constant "focus on me" glyph in the middle of the screens to help prevent you from doing just that). If I attempted to use my eyes to look around, instead of my head (I treated the vision experience the same way I would treat a AR Drone with 3d cameras), It would probably have been more noticeable. As it was, objects in the periphery were not available.
Also, the lady that was "assisting" me in mounting the headset was funny in that she wouldn't let me do it myself. I mean, I know how to do it, I'm not dumb, but the way she was mounting it caused half the screen to disappear due to vertical misalignment (I guess that's a thing? Mentioned it to the developers after the session).
I believe that if they expanded the screen to fill all available vision then the FOV thing might become moot, but then they'd need dynamic eye tracking as well (they measured the distance between our pupils for calibration purposes before starting the demo), bu then you might start getting the Oculus effect of delayed environment updates....
Edit: Stupid discoquoting...

What we need is to just get Minority Report style contact lenses.

I honestly have no idea what is going on in this clip. Is she summoning a dude and a door or something?
Besides, that would still require eye tracking (which I suppose could be provided through the neural interface sensing your extremity positions, )

It's a hologram. She's modelling what happened when the victim was killed.

STATUS: I'm trying to save RAM on my little almost-static-site project, so I'm going bare metal this time. No express, no unnecessary ceremony.
Here's a pretty complete static server implementation in node.
var libFs = require('fs'), libPath = require('path'); var mime = require('mime'); function serveStatic(settings, path, res) { if (path === '/') { path = '/index.html'; } var filename = libPath.join(settings.sitesDirectory, path); if (filename.indexOf('..') >= 0) { return notFound(res); } return libFs.readFile(filename, function (err, data) { if (err) { if (err.code === 'ENOENT') { return notFound(res); } console.error(err); return serverError(res); } res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Length': data.length, 'Content-Type': mime.lookup(filename) }); res.write(data); res.end(); }); } function notFound(res) { res.statusCode = 404; res.end('Not found'); } function serverError(res) { res.statusCode = 500; res.end('Internal server error'); } module.exports = function createHandler(settings) { return function requestHandler(req, res) { if (req.method === 'GET') { return serveStatic(settings, req.url, res); } return notFound(res); } };

I double checked. You included "session". Good jorb.

Missing:
function OK(res) { res.statusCode = 502; res.end('OK'); }

```
res.statusCode = 502;Shouldn't that be more random?

res.statusCode = Math.floor(Math.random() * 50 + 500);Shouldn't that be more random?</blockquote> Better?

Status: Why does Visual Studio (nay, BIDS) decide that all the GUIDs in an
SSISDTSX package need to be regenerated every save?I just changed a
C
to anA
, and somehow the diff contains over 300 edits!
Expectation of an increase in the VersionBuild property and a single line modified: Does not meet expections.
Filed under: How does one expect to code review when 90% of the diff is gibberish hiding away the actual changes?

another acronym
You have the reader's curiosity....
which one.
hot dog, there are more than one obvious addingaccounts adding acronyms?Argh mobile, will I ever learn?
-
I didn't post it because fuck that shit.
-
Ahh, an @accalia 'd acronym (why did it work right that time?!?).
Fun fact: I have a similar issue in which I detect injury in my wings and
unknown_rear_extremity_extension
when being treated with a TENS machine. It's kinda weird.
-
I just realized it's been 7 years since Blu-ray won the formats war and I still haven't used one.
-
I still haven't used one.
Same. It's like winning the contest for the best 2-legged stool just as it was discovered that stools could have 3 or more legs.
-
I just realized it's been 7 years since Blu-ray won the formats war and I still haven't used one.
Because discs immediately lost the format war.
Then consumers lost the DRM war.
Then pirates didn't notice any of that shit and kept watching movies.
-
My brain substituted another acronym. I'll let the reader decide which one.
I picked BOGSAT because I like that one.

Status: I would like to thank the power for going out after I saved my homework and before I logged onto Guild Wars 2 to do my dailies. For like five seconds.
-
Shh! You'll remind my power that it hasn't done that for a couple of months, and it'll try to catch up.

Status: Fuck you, AT&T. I queued for PvP, got into a match, waited for the game to start, and then my internet connection went down from 20:13:09 to 21:08:22.
Fuck.
-
went down
They should be able to credit you that, at least.
Personally I would be wondering why it went down at all (coincidences be famed)Wait, didn't you have a power issue earlier?! Not your night, eh?
Filed under: Yes, keyboard, that's exactly what I meant.

Status I want to visit Svalbard one day. Something alluring about the idea of being that far north, and that far away from civilization-- like standing on the edge of the world.
And in b4 . Ha ha.

Status, @-mentioned to this thread, to post 29767...

I use them frequently in Xbox One form.
Never otherwise.
I'm not even sure if the optical drive in my PC can read them or not. (looks) the faceplate has a CD logo, a RW logo because it's a writer, and a DVD logo so... I guess not? Or it can but they didn't bother printing the logo on it? Eh who cares.
-
My optical drive has
M@DISC LG super multi
written on it. Not sure what any of that means. Or if it can play CDs.

The fart-cloud is a nice touch.

Status, again: Just got called over by a user doing UAT for a non-work related issue. Some crappy free email service refuses to send emails because the mailbox is full. The user doesn't know how to delete emails. The web UI has checkboxes in front of every email. There's a clearly labeled "Delete" button. It's not stars, it's not magnets having sex, it's regular checkboxes and a regular button, no icons, it's clear, human-readable text.
This is the same person who asked me the other day why they can't log in to said webmail client. Because after years of using it they still don't know where the
@
symbol is on the Croatian keyboard layout, they LOOKED for it, and they, for some reason, didn't have a keyboard withhr_HR
layout labels. Worse yet, after typingusername"provider.domain
they realized it's wrong, tried to log in anyway, and described the error, once I logged them in, as "Ah, wrong kind of @!".These are the people I'm building software for. Doomed. I'm fucking doomed.
Ditches. I should go dig ditches. People still know how to use shovels. Right? Guys?

I should go dig ditches
And put your users in them head to toe, and fill the ditches back with dirt...

People still know how to use shovels.
If they don't, you could try becoming a Shovel Knight ...
