The parliament did for example stop software patents. Yeah, one day there might be another proposal, but for now we don't have them enforced because of the EU parliament.

Least paid developer type is game development. And c++ is commonly used there.

Reducing energy consumption is also an option. Likely not the most popular one. But living in balance with the environment instead of a constant minus in energy resources should at least not be completely ignored. We don't need the amo

Sorry, didn't see I got an answer here a few days ago already. Someone else located the bug faster than me and made a bug-report (WebGL being broken - lot of people notice that one ^^). It seems to be fixed already again in nightly, so

sigh I just spend an hour trying to figure out why my emscripten code no longer works. Browsing hacker-news and seeing this post about Firefox. Remembering my Firefox developer edition earlier today mentioned some update on start (FF 58.0

Ah yes, you are right, WebGL shaders are translated first to GLSL or HLSL with a lib like ANGLE ( https://github.com/google/angle ). And that source is then send on to the drivers which compile it again to assembler for

The compiler is in the graphic card drivers. You pass on shader source-code to it in text-form.

First time I hear about wlc. And I'm curious about something. Does wlc only help to write compositors or can Window/3D libraries also access that? For example when writing a 3D library which should run on Wayland - do I have to wr

I used a live-cd and the whole point of those is that you can try an OS without that OS changing your system. Localtime should be the default configuration and not something the user has to figure out after getting fucked by it. edit: Or at

Nothing about Wacom tablet driver fix snief . That currently freezes the system and prevents me from updating :-( Also I really don't like that the live-cd's change my system-clock. I nearly missed closing of shops today because

Maybe you can then use slow-motion videos of neurons firing to also illustrate why humans aren't really conscious despite other claims.

Makefiles are the reason I use tabs everywhere. No need to switch mentally - or switch editor settings. But I'm rather poor ... maybe Makefile are the reasons for that? I need that correlation betweenn Makefile writers and income!

I don't think there is a misalignment of interest. Robust software is also correlated to the number of users. In my experience there is also no need to worry about not having enough open problems to work on. It could happen in theory I

You don't have to invent a protocol when using UDP, you can still use a library like enet or raknet which already do that for you. And if it's the better choice it's the better choice and it's not something a programmer

My experience is that Intel cards produce more problems with OpenGL. But not related to Linux, same on Windows. Part of the reason might be that it's not so common for 3D developers to work with Intel cards so those are less tested.

Yeah, I got the exact same experience at my doctor. I tell them it's not single sound but several and the frequencies are changing all the time. Completely ignoring that assistent then spends a few minutes figuring out the sound freque

I blame the cookie law. You force millions of websurfers to click daily on OK buttons which basically say "EU make some bloody stupid laws" and you get some advertisment effect in the end.

That the last decision that API's are copyrighted is already the problem. Google - or anyone else - shouldn't have to need to use the fair use argument for this. This is already a law suit which shouldn't be necessary.

Sadly a lot of tools make it harder to work with beziers than necessary. Recently I checked half a dozen open source tools - and only a single one allowed locking the tangents at the points connecting 2 bezier curves. That is trivial to cod

The chinese room thought experiment is simply annoying because it doesn't even get the questions right. It basically asks if the hardware becomes conscious/understanding when running software - instead of asking the real question

Yeah, that would help a lot. Also might be possible to see where the ball comes back in a little earlier then. Another little helper would be to draw the level-start-lines not completely up to the border. Because often you can then still r

With external pdf-viewers the browser asked each time before downloading and showing a pdf. Now it displays pdf's by default. That's why an exploit could sneak through as advertisment. It couldn't have done that before.

I checked out several free synthesizers recently on an Ubuntu system. None worked on first try. Thought I got half of them working after a while (the others would have needed JACK). On my Debian system youtube videos stop playing sound once

A lot of modern game frameworks go in a similar direction. It's all about having entity-component systems where the designers (and not the programmers) can put together the objects dynamically. And those all fight with similar problems

About the trust thing - you probably don't often compile code without running it afterwards even now. A format call might be hidden in any library you use.

Yeah, but you can't put it easily on your tablet and read it offline while sitting in the park ;-) Still liking it a lot.
