Reading from the frame buffer is, in general, extremely cheap on TBDR architectures, not expensive. The frame buffer for the current render is stored in tile memory which is fast to access. Accessing the frame buffer with an immediate mod

In practice, the word "open" in "Open Standards", such as OpenGL or Vulkan, doesn't mean very much. For example, being able to vote, participate in the specs' working group, or access the conformance tests cost

I completely disagree with your summarization. The emphasis is on understanding both the problem domain and, more importantly, the codebase. Understanding the problem domain may come from reading books, but it may come from asking senior m

Could you expand on why you think the next "great thing" will be more like ML than like Haskell?

An MIT professor on NPR radio earlier this evening reported that the Iron Dome missile defense systems has achieved a less than 5% success rate. Him or the article must be wrong, but who?

Swift has the "black-holing" as well in the form of either explicitly calling Optional's map method, or the syntactic sugar: myTypeTOpt?.methodOnTypeT()

Scala is full of many libraries that take advantage of trailing closures. I think their standard library Future/Promise API is good example: http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/futures.html Edit: Anothe

Scala, Ocaml, SML, Haskell, Swift, C# (the Nullable type) and many other languages have Optionals/Maybes/Nullable types (all names for the same thing). I agree Optional's should booster safety (in the iOS/OS X world) if

That's because all of the existing frameworks are written in Objective-C. Rewriting the frameworks in Swift is probably an even bigger undertaking than the Swift language itself (and one can't just change the frameworks to fit Swi

I think nadav256 meant dynamically typed. I.E. most languages that target LLVM are statically typed, and this project is one of the few (the first?) to successfully leverage LLVM for a dynamically typed language.

It's useful for intuitively conveying the notion of what a category actually is. I think many people don't even get past this point. So that in and of itself seems useful to me.

There's nothing OS X specific (yet) about this tutorial (excluding the install and -framework compilation flag). The author is using http://www.glfw.org , a cross-platform OpenGL windowing/context creation library.

Just wanted to point out the hilarity of your typo: "we're not very nice when..." vs "were not very nice when..." completely reversed what you meant to say ;P.

Luckily functions from <algorithm> don't only work with STL containers; they work with any class that adheres to the STL containers interfaces.

I'm guessing he's referring to wildcards ( http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~atl017/papers/pldi11.pdf ) and the fact that the type system allows this (which isn't really a complexity, but rather a deficiency):

I really have no idea what point this post is trying to make. I see anti IE (installing FF over IE), anti Chrome ("crapware") and anti FF ("feature growth within FF) sentiments, but no tie-together logic. Do you have a conclu

But it's always been like this. The College Board has official test prep books and online courses one can buy. Plus, many schools also offer SAT test prep classes one can take. This test has always been worthless (my bias in this last

When I was in high school (~4-5 years ago), I was often "caught" for using a proxy to get around the firewall. Other kids were often caught, too. In both cases, the proxy would become blacklisted. However, in all other regards the
