    _Rapid got a reaction from Elektra57 in LTX20 Suggestions!   
    MORE FLOATPLANE SHIRTS
    I got one of the floatplane pins to get one of them last year but they ran out which gave me the big sad
     
    Dont scrap WAN Show Live
    It was by far my favorite event at LTX19
     
    Merch Combo Deals
    I'm a student in UK and I basically dont spend any money all year to afford to fly to LTX. I was able to pick up a stealth hoodie (love it btw) but maybe like the combo deals there are on wan show that could apply in person at LTX 
     
    In general, it was basically spot on last year these are nit picking points. Also, please announce the dates as soon as possible so flights dont get too pricey.

    I think it would be really cool if you could invite Techmoan (Mat) to LTX20. For enthusisats of vintage and retro audio/video equipment and formats, Techmoan is probably the best content creator to represent that portion of tech releated channels (if you know what I mean). Mat has a huge passion for this sort of stuff and I think he would be a great guest/asset to have at LTX20. If you are going to invite him, I'd send him an email NOW because he comes from the UK and he'll need time to sort things out.

    _Rapid got a reaction from TheGleaner in 1080Ti Boost planned????   
    So, in the config of FIFA 17, there is a xml file named "VideoCards.xml" and I found a card listed below:
    <vd id="10DE1B80" level="3" name="NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Boost"/> All the other listings are pretty much any GPU you can find so I presume it's a list of all compatible GPU's. I'll leave the file below but WTF?

    There are more people contributing to our projects than ever before. And everyone brings their own quirky style.
     
    We also have more time to work on things, which means we could finish our videos to the same standard as before, then put our feet on the desk for the rest of the day.. or we can spend more time making them better than ever.
     
    I hope it's obvious which one we chose

    The default font for WIn10 is SegoeUI, you can download it from other sources and set it as your default font but I've attached all of its formats to this post. "SegoeUI.TTF" is the standard one.

    _Rapid got a reaction from Technomancer__ in The future of floatplane   
    Linus Media Group is investing substantial amounts into Floatplane.
     
    The rundown:
    www.linusmediagroup.com is advertising a job vacancy for "Software Engineer" and it states it's for "Floatplane Media", which leads me to believe they they're primary job will be focusing on floatplane. The average wage for Software Engineer in Canada is USD$51,850 (£41,272), which means they're probably investing this & more for the equipment required for whoever they hire. The email which they ask you to apply to is "info@floatplaneclub.com", which means that Floatplane has it's own dedicated domain and web server. (Check it out, it's currently just a test page, though. http://floatplaneclub.com/) This means they're either hosting it themselves (THE REASON FOR PETABYTE PROJECT!?!?!?!:?) or having someone else do it, a substantial cost nevertheless. My beliefs:
    Floatplane will not only be used my LinusMediaGroup, but will be a replacement for Vessel (for everyone)
     
    I say this because of the "about" section in the job application.
     
    "So, in the short-term, our goal is very simple. We'll build a platform for online video makers to deliver their content DIRECTLY to their audiences without the restrictions imposed by traditional online social media services. In the long term, however, Floatplane Media's more general mission is to develop really cool tools to reduce online creators' dependence on a single social platform and give them more time and resources to CREATE, while enriching the experience for their loyal communities with stable, elegant apps. It's win-win, so even if it doesn't soar it probably won't sink."
     
    This means that Floatplane will become its own company, allowing many other content creators to use it. 
     
    TLDR;
    Floatplane will become it's own website not only for Linus, but for other content creators. And they're investing heavily too it.
     
    I also have a feeling this is the purpose of petabyte project, but that's just a hunch.

    I don't seem to remember it on wanshow but I don't watch week in week out so I can't say anything about that. I think that petabyte could be used for both, as it is a whole petabyte of storage it doesn't all need to be used for the same thing.

    Can't wait for the 3 part series on creating it, the 3 part series for a power-out where the UPS decides to not work and a 3 part series for when a RAID card fails but they keep all the data. That is, if floatplane gets hosted on one of their own servers.

    Yeah. The test page says it's powered by CentOS and I believe Petabyte or one of their other servers was on CentOS, but probably just a coincidence.

    Once you get the concept of normal forms it's actually pretty simple.
     
    I find this explanation easy to understand. Read it carefully and slow, try to understand every single word. Also look very carefully on the tables and try to find the differences. Once you got it, you will have a huge "AHAA!" effect

    GeForce 256. Because it's the world's first "GPU"
     
    But seriously, moving the geometry and lighting functions from the CPU to the GPU revolutionized the way real-time 3D applications would look. Granted it wasn't the first GPU to do this, but it brought it to relevance.
     
    Although I want to add another contender. The Nintendo 64's Reality Co-Processor in hindsight was also a revolutionary graphics processor. One could argue it was the first fully-programmable GPU for the consumer market. A lot of the things we see today, it was probably done on the N64 at some point. It's just too bad Nintendo didn't tell anyone how to write custom microcode until damn near its end of life.
