SubNat posted:But that's just terrible. It would mean that you'd have half as much time for the cpu to update poo poo like physics ahead of the frame getting rendered. It's especially bad considering that a great optimization/rendering optimization you can do in VR is having instanced stereo rendering. Which wouldn't really be possible when you're only rendering a mono image twice as fast. Why can't you do instanced stereo rendering on alternate frames? Render both and submit them serially instead of together.

No news about Solu yet? Great, let me bring some recent updates! (Since the last ones are from what past winter?) Solu - A New Type of Compter Cloud with Wooden Finish! CEO of Solu reveals why company failed:"I still believe in our vision" (only in Finnish thou) So technically the company is in the verge of bankrupcy (surprise for none) althou they have managed to deliver the 50 developer versions (?) to those backers. According the CEO, they are hair thin of the goal and with extra 10-20k investment and they would definitely get this thing done. Somehow...I doubt. Sure, maybe the actually ready-to-ship-prototype could be developed with that money, but to produce it to all backers...nah, don't kid us you can make 500 thingies with the peanut money. Personally I didn't invest, but it was such a big thing here when they succeeded to get the money, so I've been following along how things have developed. Too bad it's always the same story: too little updates and interaction after the initial hype. Oh well, not my loss! As far as I have seen discussions about it, people really don't remember why it was so popular in the beginning. I suspect the wood, since...wood.  Edit: drat typos! Edit2: oh, there was actually English news about it! Solu hoes bankrupt - "We were ahead of Google", claims CEO simplyhorribul has a new favorite as of 20:19 on Sep 20, 2017 |

If they'd had even half of a quarter of anything, they'd have been acquired for pennies on the dollar, versus bankruptcy.

Listen up you little punks, these beautiful geniuses are inventing an elegantly inconvenient way to drink bad coffee, they don't have time to worry about whether something is a noun or an adjective or a flippity-doo-dah, because god dammit, this is America, and we do business, not word talk!

I'm using the bripe in an entrepreneurship class as an example of a poo poo idea developed to solve a fake-rear end problem. This thread has provided lots of useful material for that class.

Guy Mann posted:That's not a broip. THIS is a broip! A "shot" of coffee.... I don't know how to even begin to express how stupid this idea is. I'm from a nation of outdoorsey folks, and I also know many people who spend lots of money on basic stuff for hiking, fishing and camping. Still, I don't think I know ANYONE at all who would even consider buying this product if they had seen it, and that includes the people who have a drawer in their home dedicated to sporks and two GPS devices so one will always have a fully charged battery. There have been many gadgets for brewing coffee in the woods, like instant coffee in bags or french press-ish devices like the "aeropress" but none of them can measure up to the simplicity and taste of a "svartkjel" (black kettle) with coarsely ground coffee boiled on a campfire or primus. You can even pack the coffee bag, matchbox and cup inside the kettle, and it would take just about as much room in your backpack as the stupid BRIPE, thermometer, barista coffee test tube, cooling rack and blue flame lighter. I understand that this product is for just having a small cup outside, but if I have time to prepare and pack the BURP I have time to spend five minutes brewing a pot of coffee and put it on a thermos to bring along. I find it incredibly strange that as many as 60 people worldwide think that what's missing from their outdoor experience is the ability to drink a lovely espresso shot through a straw. Not to mention that it would be a loving nightmare to clean. It's coffee. Water and ground cooffee beans. How the gently caress do people keep on messing up such a simple concept?

And then you wouldn't have to wait for it to cool down so you can drink it through a straw either Toys For rear end Bum posted:There's even tiny, hand-pump espresso makers: ...that probably makes a much better espresso than the tiny copper cup with a straw you hold a lighter to. If you're really into the Italian style coffees you can even get yourself one of these puppies and put on your campstove/primus for optimal authenticity: http://www.bialetti.com/coffee/stovetop/moka-express-c-1_7_22.html Or if you prefer drip coffee and would rather have brought your moccamaster along if you could, you can get one of these things: https://www.amazon.com/Hario-Ceramic-Coffee-Dripper-White/dp/B000P4D5HG ...Still, I think nothing beats just putting a basic kettle with ground coffee and water on top of a flame: https://www.eagleproducts.no/produkt/balkjele-1-5l/ It's kind of a golden rule in invention and product design to do research and see if a) your product is actually filling a void by doing something that no other products already do or b) your product does things better than the competition. In the case of making outdoors coffee that could mean making coffee faster, produce a better taste, take up less space in the bag, produce less waste, be easier to clean or simpler to use. Any of those. There are already many different outdoors coffee makers before the Bripe, and well, it doesn't improve any aspect of the design from the other ones. Even in the jungle of silly hiking gadgets (this is a big business in my country) I would really have a hard time finding ANY outdoors coffee brewing solution that is objectively worse than the Bripe. Sorry for sperging out so badly in these two posts, coffee and hiking are two of the things I take seriously.

Best case scenario is that I'm wrong, it's not as dangerous as it looks, and you (or your kids) don't shock the crap out of yourself the first time you forget you shouldn't touch it.
