You are correct. And it's not just the images either, it's to illustrate the point that difficulty merging lowers the average flow-rate below that of "maximum lane occupancy".

by Arelius 13y ago
This. Sure, there exists a point where the input flow is great enough that traffic must move slower. OP's entire argument is based off of this. The problem is that there are many things you can do to slow down the flow rate even furthe

The goal is to provide the some precision that a mouse can, not replicate sticks... If that were the case, they would have just put sticks on the thing.

But that's really a matter of where the trackpoint is, not the input on the device itself. It's a bit different while you're playing games.

I think he was just hoping that you could pinpoint the change to a specific date.

I mean, glsl compilers and optimizers. And as time goes on, Nvidia is moving more of the fixed function out of silicon into GPU software. Which is effectively binary blobs that need to get uploaded to the GPU. This all seems like quite a bi

I'd love to learn more. But I still assert that patents are pretty fundamental to the current working of the health industry, even if not fundamental to health itself (Which I think we both agree, patents are not).

Well put.

Assuming the owner of the prior art is open to this, which may or may not be true.

Do we know it's not open source? Or are you talking specifically about steam and the games?

Personally I think all patents are stupid. I mean clearly they are more fundamental to some industries (health) But I think once we figured out how to do research without patents, the world would be a better place with zero patents.

If somebody thinks that a language with GC could fill the same niche as C++, then well, they must work at Google. Ohh... huh...

As someone who has worked on an RTS, among other games, I think I am qualified to speak on the manner. For starters, yes there are complex problems with lots of edge cases indeed. But not one of the many problems you suggest are computati

I'm not sure I'd that path-finding and maintaining sync are hard problems, especially since they are problems that in an RTS aren't quite as sensitive to latency.

Is 3k lines in a single file really considered that bad? I've never had a problem dealing with it.

by Arelius 13y ago
I'd say so.

I'd never be able to be a Googler either, for nearly the opposite reason: I left College a long time ago for a job. I have since spent 8+ years working on tough problems that are highly algorithmic, and tons of optimization work. Yet t

Python is still a pretty large dependency in itself.

How did you do this?

It's funny, I've been telling people about the arrow as an indicator and how it was on every car... until I realized that it wasn't on my own car... Which is actually the only car I have noticed it missing on.

Weird, my pet peeve is cars where the fuel fill cap is ON the driver side of the car, Since I'm used to driving the right side of the car closer to things on the side of the road I feel like I can position that side better.

Shouldn't it adjust based on the extremes (Or standard deviation) within the zoom area? In that case there would always be some purple, and should fix at least the specific problem the parent showed.

I'm not sure I agree... While it's certainly true that to create the same thing that Carmack did would be a lot easier today. Working on Carmack level code remains very difficult to this day. It's just that the bar has moved.

Objective C is close. in that it's a superset of C. But it has problems in portability, and it's insistence for dynamism make it not obviously well suited for the same problems. At least not more than just working in C.
