A smaller population allows you to devote more resources per capita while reducing the resource consumption of the population as a whole. Apart from the obvious appeal of enjoying at least comparatively luxurious allocation of public reso

I'd argue that libraries like GTK were only allowed to become so bloated because dynamic linking masked their true impact on the system. If static linking were the norm, we'd be using much simpler, cleaner libraries because peop

Network congestion is not the only reason for packets to be dropped. Wifi and mobile connections can be hampered by radio interference or have trouble transmitting through thick walls, hardware can be faulty, wires and fiber can be damaged,

Deterministic lockstep is primarily used in RTS games, where the only data that is transmitted per tick are tiny commands like "player 1 is constructing a war factory at this location" or "player 1 told unit 6 to move to

Oh yeah, totally. I also want a good open source Flash player so that some day, when Adobe finally pulls the plug, all of the stupid .swfs I've saved over the years will remain viewable. I'm just saying that it hasn't been a

Probably because Flash isn't as relevant as it used to be. Years ago poor Flash support was a dealbreaker for a lot of people that might have switched to Linux, which provided a strong raison d'être for open source Flash replaceme

I think if people would stop pretending to be offended by ridiculous things, the problem would solve itself and we wouldn't need to have a "response" in the first place.

Technically, you're right. Today, any junior employee that made a joke like that would be crucified and practically blacklisted from the industry. What you should be thinking, however, is not "why does Linus get away with saying t

You said in other comments that you didn't intend "bears vs. foxes" to be "men vs. women," but it still reads that way a bit, so let me take a stab at being more explicit: The bears are the kids that grew up fascina

I've only done hobbyist embedded development, so maybe I'm totally off the mark here, but I would have guessed that for truly low RAM niches (i.e. ultra low power or extremely cost constrained), an RTOS would be totally out of the

Sure, no real-time algorithm can match what can be done by hand on a single image, but for video editing and real-time rendering, perfect manual tonemapping is expensive or impossible. You go with a flawed tonemapping algorithm, or you don&

Tonemapping is an essential component of modern video editing and rendering, and for that matter it has been common in photo editing (through the processes of "dodging" and "burning" the film as it was being exposed) sin

I disagree! You have the cause and effect mixed up. It's normal to dislike certain groups of people you strongly disagree with. For example, I imagine we both dislike gay bashers pretty strongly. You, on the other hand, were suggesting

What do you know, there are other attractive women in those photosets, including at least one that appears to be wearing roughly as little as Lena. It's almost like our brains are wired for facial recognition and thus attractive faces
