This is something we deal with in game development regularly, tracking spikes as fixing them. I’m not sure how much sense it makes to measure them in the context of video card reviews as the article alludes to. In my…
How come this vehicle doesn't self spin around the rotor axis? Like a traditional single rotor helicopter would do without the tail rotor?
An ECMAScript to C compiler. Sort of the inverse of Emscripten. The goal was to compile ECMAScript to LLVM IR but it's not quite there yet. It currently implements version 5.1 and nearly has full test262 coverage:…
I highly recommend this plugin! I find it really snappy on my projects. I haven't had the opportunity to try it on any gigantic projects, but I have found configuration files for YCM in the Chromium source tree which…
I was actually under the impression that Fortran was used simply because the experts (in this case in fluid dynamics) was familiar with Fortran. It was the language they learned and used while back at the university. At…
My point is that having pet projects might actually increase software development skills. In the same way that practicing any activity generally makes you better at it. People who're good at socializing, basketball,…
> If you have a life, I don't want you. Seriously, there is a lot of judgement in that sentence. "Having a life", having a family is a matter of choice. I can choose not to have a family and work on my pet projects.…
Cool, but why is the default picture behind the sofa. It would make more sense simulating sitting in it.
Interesting reading but I don't get the rant about the controllers being so ugly containing the model logic? I mean it's essentially a matter where you place the logic. The logic itself whether in the controller or…
Agreed, spaces in OS X has always appeared half-baked to me. Coming from a GNU/Linux environment I found it surprising that it wasn't possible to send a window to a specific workspace using the keyboard only. I don't…
For me, long compilation times puts me out of "the zone". If compilation takes too long I'll start reading e-mails or web browsing. When compilation is done my mind is elsewhere and I have to get into the problem…
The story doesn't tell if all 18 million are French users. The tracking company Trident Media Guard could very well be operating globally. The ISPs reportedly only returned 900,000 identities which may be the French…
Why don't the cloud storage service providers encrypt/store all user content in such a way that it can only be read by the user? I doubt there are any ethical benefits in storing the data in such a way that they (the…
Well their screenshot/mock-up does, take a look again.
Interesting... the application has a Windows Vista/7 scrollbar.
"I’d even argue that the main reason kernel code tends to be efficient is not because it’s written in C but because it’s written with parallelism and reentrancy in mind, by people who understand those issues." With this…
