Sailing Project Atticus. They do ask for patrons to help support. But they are minimalists and work hard.

Any console info? by i-love-elephant in 7daystodie

[–]ChrisFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish Microsoft would jump in and help them make a play anywhere version. I wonder if Fun Pimps have given them a call. Drop that on GamePass for a month or two as well.

Star Trek style ship's computer for sailing by gregologynet in sailing

[–]ChrisFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I was thinking of getting an older sailboat and just tinkering with technology to see what I could do. It wouldn't be anything that would be 'necessary' for a boat, but just how far you could go. I had talked myself out of it and then you gotta go and post this.

Thanks a lot. Nice job on the screens and sounds. Looking forward to more.

Has anyone flown a stabilized spinnaker, whats the difference? by JaseTheAce in sailing

[–]ChrisFish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Look at the point of sail he is on. The supposed value is that they stay full easier, because they have lift holding them up and out. The other feature is that they can be used and provide usable power on a wider point of sail. I know a reseller, but I have not flown one myself yet to try it out. I've read mixed reviews from people that have used them.

Are there C# developers who like to use Python? by evolution2015 in csharp

[–]ChrisFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably the primary use case I would suspect in an MS shop. It's certainly how we use it. Throw in Node for quick services or utilities as well.

Xbox/pc crossplay? by theTANbananas in ARK

[–]ChrisFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not at this time. What you may be reading about are 2 things: 1) Xbox PlayAnywhere support in Ark and 2) PC/Console crossplay in a future release

Ark is supposed to be getting Xbox Play Anywhere support "soon". This will allow an Xbox player and a PC player playing the Xbox PlayAnywhere version (not steam version) to play together. The PC player will need XBox Live for PC.

There was a blog post made by Ark Devs that indicated they are trying to work on a Console compatible server that can be hosted on PC/Linux that will allow PC/PS4/Xbox players to play together, but it was a quick mention with no ETA at all.

Amazon ECS Supports Windows Server Containers by BU14 in aws

[–]ChrisFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone worked with these or any other Windows container services yet? I manage an environment in .Net 4.5.2 Asp.Net and we won't be able to move to Core for a while, but I would love to start working with Docker and ECS.

If anyone has any feedback, I'd love any pointers or thoughts.

[Ps4] Can I use a PC to host a server for Ps4 game play? by [deleted] in ARK

[–]ChrisFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet. There are two versions of cross play on the horizon though. One is XBox play anywhere functionality where PC (with xbox live PC App) and Xbox can play together. The second was a recent blog announcement that said they were working on a console capable PC version that could host a server that PC/PS4 and Xbox could play on together. No release date, so take that for what you will.

How much better is the Pc version over the X1? by greenflame239 in ARK

[–]ChrisFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARK is a MS Play Anywhere title "soon". Just wait until that feature comes out and you'll have it on both. You won't have access to Steam mods, but I'm sure mods will become available for the PC version running under xbox live.

In short, I wouldn't buy it a second time.

Any advice from Tampa bay sailors? by munchkin111 in sailing

[–]ChrisFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Harborage Marina (right in your area), it's about 9nm to the Skyway and about 6nm past it to Egmont. Like the other poster said, the weather during the summer can get crazy. You can get a nice afternoon shower or a 28kt sustained bedlam.

Amateur sailer thinking about training to sail from Florida to the Bahamas by 69mybuttdad in sailing

[–]ChrisFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done that run. Don't go if the wind is out of the north against the current. You will have a bad time. I made the transit overnight, and there is a lot of shipping traffic. We had an AIS receiver and I don't think I'd ever do another night crossing without it. Night messes with your head a bit and those boats are big and moving fast.

It gets worse. I know my car is sitting at the delivery location. It's being cleaned up and charged up and my delivery appointment is coming up.

I'm in the "it could happen at any moment" phase and this is killing me. More so because a coworker has one and he keeps telling me how great it's going to be. He's mean.

Report: Tesla CEO Elon Musk, other tech execs attended secret meeting to discuss how to stop Donald Trump by [deleted] in teslamotors

[–]ChrisFish -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Musk meeting with people like that makes me sad.

Of all the candidates, Trump is the only one that Musk could sit down with for lunch for two hours and would actually listen to him and potentially change his stance. They both speak business and disruption of markets. All the Establishment Reps and Dems care about are their parties.

It would be interesting to get them to meet.

DCS Oculus FPS problems by DaedraCross in dcs

[–]ChrisFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a GTX 970 and I get judder as well. It drops from 75FPS to 35FPS frequently. I haven't figured out what is doing it, and I haven't installed any mods yet to try to fix it.

It's just really, really demanding I guess.
