I understand your frustration, I guess the question is if they try and cater for too many preferences would it ultimately compromise the focus of the product? It's very similar to the original 'too-soon' shift to USB on the i

> I got a new computer relatively recently. It's a modest looking plastic Dell Inspiron; but it has a 4k touchscreen display, an i7 CPU, a GTX960M GPU, 16GB of RAM, and an SSD. It cost ~$900, on sale. I, frankly, can't imagine

I think the negative reaction to the new MacBook Pro seems excessive. The only real objections I have are the increase in price and the new keyboard though I'm open minded that I'll get used to that. Apple like to make slim, light

This is a bizarre comparison. The Surface Studio is not in competition with the MacBook Pro. It's closest analogue is something like the iPad Pro with a stand I guess. Apple will not be making a direct competitor to the Surface Studio

There are very few people making a good living out of singing, acting or professional sports. So why would you care what they earn?

Is Rust performance comparable with C++ yet? Last time I looked it was similar to Go. One of the things that C++ offers is an optimisation route where performance is really important.

Tabs beat spaces in every single way; Spaces look the same in whatever application you might be using to view a source file, be it any number of random command line tools, or fully fledged IDEs.

CFD is also used in computer graphics (games and film) which is filled with people who focus on low level optimisation.

It has hyperlinks. The whole purpose of the app is to be information dense so I can review as much data as possible. Works great with google inbox.

I have a real estate app that sends me emails about new properties, with tables of data and embedded images. I couldn't do this with plain text email.

While I agree that GJK is more useful for typical collision detection scenarios, I was of the impression that the OBB/OBB collider function in ODE/Bullet can generate multiple contacts, while GJK is limited to one. Is that correct

by MrScruff 11y ago
The convex hull will represent the geometry more accurately than an OBB because it can have >8 points and doesn't have to be cuboid. So the collisions will be more representative.

If people use downvoting to express disagreement, that means that unpopular opinions are suppressed. I don't see that as a good thing. Downvoting because a post is rude or factually inaccurate is fine though.

Statistically I've no doubt you're right. However there are still a bunch of jobs where performance matters. If I left my job and industry, I'm fairly certain I could find another employer that found value in having a specifi

There are many applications that either aren't typically IO bound, or where the IO (eg. gpu<->memory) is fast enough that you'll likely need C++ to maximise performance. Writing software that pushes bleeding edge hardware is

I think the reason you always see these sort of responses in these threads is that most men really have zero awareness of what women have to put up with in everyday life. If we imagine that only 1 in 20 guys is a creep or worse, and that al

While I'm excited about Magic Leap as well, I don't see it in the same category as Oculus. AR will certainly be useful, but less so for the 'experience' type audience that VR is seeking. But yeah, probably worlds ahead o
