The schools I went to we had 1-7 in a primary school, and 8-12 in high school. Sometimes there's also college which is for years 11-12 (and sometimes 13), so it depends on which state and schools you go to. Also we never really did any

Generally Direct3D is for Windows and OpenGL is for all other platforms. Sometimes the OpenGL renderer works on Windows as well for easier testing and development.

This is another one of those articles saying that people tend to overuse easy-of-programming and language power features to the detriment of speed/efficiency (of compiling and perceived execution) and understanding. While this sort of

The most amusing thing about stack ranking is that companies expect their teams to be average (at best). If a company really wanted to hire the best and only have top performers, then they should not expect their employees to fit nicely on

Kind of the same can be said about IT. If they do their job correctly then nobody should notice they are there. Also about finance/payroll and others.

I've lived in Sydney and even though I had a car, I did not actually need it. I think I drove it less than once a month, and usually just to get out of the place. I've visited NY a few times and if you can live along the subway co

I know that, it is just the words that make up their acronym mean something different to me. So I find it highly amusing to have them be against copy right theft but be backed by the very people that are most likely to actually steal copyri

I know it's slightly off topic, but I can't help thinking that the Federation Against Copyright Theft should be going up against those big businesses that actually steal the copyrights themselves. So like when one studio steals th

This is a good bit of advertising in an article satirically commenting on how a lot of companies spend too much money on just a creative Super Bowl ad. Especially without actually mentioning the product or showing any benefits to its use, b

Yeah I use it now, I just wish it was updated one more time to add some OS-level polish to it (like getting taskbar integration on Windows 7 an above without a plugin). The actual look of the application doesn't bother me, since usuall

From what I remember of ME3 you pretty much sacrifice yourself at the end to do one of three things, all of which are pretty similar in nature - just a change of colour. However you do not get to experience the universe after you have chose

Not to sound snide or cynical, but the ending feels like life to me. You make all of these choices that matter through out the story (your life), but then in the end everyone finishes in the same place (you die). It pretty much brings home

Because Uber are trying to corner the market, and switch over to lower cost driverless cars. They'll get us used to using the app, getting data on where people want to actually go, and then switch to automated cars because it will be e

That's sort of what I figured. That the usual suspects of visas get hit right now, but that all other visas would come under review in due time. I shall have to see how it pans out, would have liked to work my next job in the USA.

I've thought about this and it can't easily be done. Where would you draw the line between the company providing a service or being essential to the product? For example in clothes manufacturer, which contracts out the making of i

Well I don't actually consider the options I've presented to be that far fetched. For all the places that I've worked, the cleaners have always been part of another company, one that was contracted to provide cleaning service

Well technically running separate businesses for each salary tier would still get around it. The CEO's pay would be the combination of all of the individual CEO salaries that they would be doing. Also cleaning and administration servic

Most likely what will happen, and I believe this is the case already in most businesses, that the cleaning functions will be outsourced to a separate company. Therefore the limit won't be the cleaner earning 10k/y, but some office

In Australia when pay/cable TV first came in it was ad free, but then ads were slowly added to it, first just ads for content on the channel, but then normal ads came in. People were rightly angry about this because they thought that b

I did see once a documentary on a spider, where if there were no males to reproduce with, the female would hatch a single male spider that was a clone, and that spider would then fertilise her eggs before being devoured.

"Human Trafficking Prevention Act" - I guess they assume that all people involved in being filmed for pornography are trafficed. That no normal person would want to record themselves having sex or performing sex acts.

The performance of the company for those C-level executives is measured in how high the stock price is. The number of accounts and customers that a bank has influences this, especially when it is growing consistently over a long period of t

All of these data-retention laws are not about protecting people from terrorism or child pornography. They are about big interests being able to better manage their information. So that less of it can leak out and damage the institution. No

This sounds like a good idea to automate finding these sorts of arrangements, but a large part of me wonders how using this app will affect someone's sesame credit score.

Those are the things that the compiler can do to optimise your program by a few x. The sorts of optimisations that it can't do are things like picking a different algorithm, or reorganising the layout of a class so that it or multiples

by daemin 10y ago
No, but there can be this myth that certain things will be "optimised away" by the compiler, which is why you can get single digit or fractional speedups by just tuning the optimisation level.
