Neat, but this'll be far more usable once someone sets it up as a nice web service ala waifu2x

I hope they don't lose their way and try to overextend their influence by silencing non-"progressive" behavior or "wrongthink"

Blizzard already do.

This is a great idea tbh, most people actually know far more classical music than they think they do - but they couldn't tell you the name of a piece or its composer for the life of them.

Man, looking back I kinda wish I'd taken DT over some other subject as one of my GCSEs. Probably music.

I don't know if it has a term of not, but it sounds like the pretty fuckin' opposite of science to me - adjusting the results to fit your wanted view instead of adjusting your view to fit the results.

I'm honestly surprised that's still going.

Or maybe just some great computers filling the hallowed halls.

Yup, both max and maya have such a 'traditional' (for lack of a better term) kind of UI - it's (for the most part) intuitive, whereas blender's just appears to be spread out all around the sides of the screen and it just feels like a mess. Even the basic aspect of interacting with the viewports is weird, why is there a crosshair, why can't I drag things around; what the hell is this weird lasso thing?

Ah, interesting - thanks. I'll be honest chemistry never really was my strong point (I much preferred the more practical aspect of physics in school) - I try to pick up what I can from creators such as codyslab, nilered, nurdrage, etc, but I guess my attention to it falls in the "interesting but not interested" category, for lack of a better term.

Why are you arguing completely different points then?

Since you mentioned it, THC and tetrahydrocannabinol are the same... but different. I don't know enough about these kinds of diagrams to know what the differences are - but surely they should be the same?

Well duh, but those policies only exist because YT is trying to sell those features.

See, I could get behind this argument if I could actually buy those features - but because I'm not in the US, I can't. YouTube Red has looked like the same speck on the horizon as it has for the past 3 years in the UK now, and as far as I know, absolutely nothing has been said about when it'll arrive here.

I would like nothing more than to pay for this functionality, after being given a trial of YouTube Music Key (back before it was called Red) well over 3 years ago at this point, I want reasonably priced access to Red original content, I want background and audio-only play on my phone. Hell, I might even use the download video feature, who knows? Well it's sure as hell not me, because I don't even have access to it.

Ah, fair enough. I wasn't sure it emphasis as part of the whole "editor vs ide" dealio.

Out of curiosity, why did you capitalise editor?

Yup, you can get Sonic 1, 2 and CD on the amazon store, IIRC you'll have to sideload kodi though, not a massively difficult task. It's as simple as turning on developer mode in the settings and then using an app on your phone to adb install the kodi APK to the fire stick. You can also just use adb in a terminal on your PC or whatever, up to you - but there's some apps on the play store that make it super easy.

Yup. I have a fire stick, it's fantastic. It does everything, and if there's something it doesn't do then I can likely make it do it somehow, because it's just an android device that I'm free to sideload regular APKs on to.

I love the damn thing, best £30 I've spent in a long long time. It does Prime video, it does netflix, it does spotify, it does plex, kodi, it does sonic 2 for fuck's sake.

Actually fuck sites that have a modal popup on window mouseout. Great way to get me to not return.

Yes, you're entirely correct - that is precisely why it's concave - as Parallax mapping is purely the illusion of depth, instead of adding any actual depth or height, this means that the perceived depth effect is constrained to the surface of the object.

If the pyramid shape were to extend past the surface of the texture, it would look fantastic up until the point that the viewing angle of the surface would cause the pyramid to visibly protrude past the edge, at which point anything extending beyond those boundaries would be lost.

Here's a terrible mspaint example, please ignore my awful consistency, it's early and I've not had any caffeine yet.

Yup, this was my first experience with my brief stint owning a bloodborne machine.

Put in game, 20GB update. Cool, guess I'm not playing that today then.

Sold that thing a couple of months later, what a waste of money the whole rigmarole was. Bloodborne wasn't even that good imo either.

And then you leave the meeting room, thinking "Well at least that killed a good amount of time" and you see you were actually only in there for 20 minutes.

Reddit, by default, does practically everything in its power it can to stop you from getting the direct link to the reddit-hosted image.

Not to mention it's just downright slower than imgur.

Although, it's not like imgur is without fault nowadays, in their continued efforts to foster their own (IMO, awful) community off of the back of another (Reddit), it is nigh-on impossible to go directly to an image on the mobile site now - instead you get forced back to their gallery-style page full of 'related content', which only serves to slow the loading of the shit I actually want to see.

Out of curiosity, how good are your DIY skills?

Were you involved in said repairs/improvements or just an onlooker?

10%...?

Shit, we're over capacity, this is against fire safety regulations!

Playing a track through soundcloud's (awful) player and downloading a track are the same action, from their perspective.

double standard

Holy shit, I had no idea this had a name - I've been doing this all my life.

I guess it also explains why I find angular designs more attractive than rounded/circular ones - sitting here at my desk looking at the circular monitor stand bases, cylindrical bluetooth speaker, coins and some cables coiled up, these things can't be knolled, so I tend to stack round things instead (in diameter order, of course).

The "press escape to clear textbox and again to close the modal" example doesn't seem to be working for me (vivaldi 1.11.901.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10), it just closes the modal on the first press.

Will test other browsers.

Edit: Works in Chrome (59.0.3071.115) and Firefox (54.0.1), must just be a Vivaldi quirk - they're always breaking something.

You mean convert spaces to tabs, right? ...right?!

Work for Google

You do not work for Google though, you live for Google - work just happens to be the majority of your life.

You don't live for prostitution, it pays the bills like any other non-life-consuming job.

Also, can get get less dentists that are condescending pricks? Like seriously, your job is to deal with this shit, deal with it, don't complain about it - that's my job and I'm not getting paid for it. You are, shut up.
