I don't know about you, but I don't want to be in a zero-sum game with my future wife unless were on the same team. :D Treating the "dating game" as literally "game theory" game sounds like a rough start and no

I like C quite a bit, but if I said, "I like C more than C++ or JavaScript or Haskell", I'd be locked away forever. In a padded room. With nothing but a BASIC interpreter. i.e. nobody, but nobody says their favorite language

Yeesh, way to mince words. Yes, it "can" be done... I guess what I meant by "can't" was "provides a poor experience to the point where is generally unacceptable and therefore not a solution and hence the imposs

I don't know why you bothered to provide a link and no commentary. This proves that people have attempted it, not that it is common nor that it produces equivalent results. I'm well aware that for some games, it can work "ok&

Really, you're trading execution speed for productivity, not "BS for BS" when you use these so-called "web languages". In some cases, there are other concerns such as memory usage or software environment (e.g. tryin

Depending on how you value things, being able to spend fewer clock cycles may be more "environmentally responsible" in the long run, though data centers do run a pretty tight ship. ;)

I'm pretty sure ultrasound denoising does not run on > 10000 cores. The point was more of "cloud this, cloud that" solves many types of problems but real-time is not one of them. Cf: why you can't play a game on the c

Right, I get it. I was merely stating that the parts of OpenGL that don't resemble a modern GPU have been removed. That is a fact. EDIT: I would also like to add that only in the strictest and most painful sense was the legacy OpenGL &

As an avid reader of Mesa3D and a user of GL 3.3 core, I can say that much cruft was removed in so far as it doesn't resemble a modern GPU (e.g. fixed function pipeline), OpenGL still has plenty of warts to bitch about. The GL 3.3 samp

Hmm, I've never heard of John Rawls (but I'm not too keen on political theory, either). Thanks, this the first time anyone has ever answered my query in a helpful way. I guess I'll have to see he has to say on the matter.

I'm not suggesting self-flagellation and I'm not suggesting everything is "all better now". I'm aware that there is a great disparity. Like I mentioned before, all of my questions were completely serious and not mea

I don't mean this in a bad way, but if someone says "recompile Mesa", I take it for granted that the understood context is "open source drivers". I didn't mean to confuse anyone.

It's a marketing phrase actually -- it's a holistic approach to how a product is presented. It took me a long time to understand it in its entirety, but nearest equivalence here is "user experience", i.e. the drivers on

by figglesonrails 13y ago
I think you're missing the implicit "open source" in this statement. The OP mentioned "recompile Mesa" and getting buggy 4.x support. No open source driver supports 4.x yet. I'm aware that proprietary drivers a

What is a patriot then? Someone willing to die for their country or someone to makes sacrifices for their country? Just last week, I painted a school (volunteer work) and I currently fix up donor computers to give to underprivileged youth.

+1 This is exactly my question in a different reply. I wish I could have been a liberator of slaves or an advocate for native Americans' rights a long time ago, but now it seems that all I can do is live a moral and cognizant life, and

Abstractly, perhaps, but I think we can say that there are more concrete reasons why a nation may dislike the USA. I'm not arguing for or against the USA as a power here, just that this just seems too much of an oversimplification of

I always hear this, but I'm never sure what the solution should look like. I mean this completely seriously: what is the expected stance to take? I'm white, middle class, lived a life without serious struggles, college degree, liv

No, you can't get OpenGL 4.x on Linux. You can't even get GL 3.3 -- geometry shader support is in it infancy. A quick look at mesa3d-dev or phoronix will show you that.

That driver was shelved a long time ago. :(

"neither allows one to rely on a recent version of OpenGL..?" Erp, where are you from? Suppose I had GL 4.3 capable hardware. Closed Source Drivers on Windows = OpenGL 4.3 Closed Source Drivers on Linux = OpenGL 4.3 Open Source Dr

Ah prison rape. Yes, I hadn't considered that, but that would make sense. I'm not sure that prison statistics are really relevant to the original topic though, as far as defining what typical interactions are like, but does seem l

Men more than women? I'm not disagreeing or agreeing, but [citation needed]. I've never heard of that being true, so I'd like more information. I mean, the fact that we typical think of rape as man-on-woman kind of speaks to

Also, having thought about it slightly more, I think you're confusing "unwanted sex" with "non-consensual sex". Neither is a good thing, but there is a strong different, especially in terms of legality and trauma. M

Touchy, touchy. No, you didn't say "We don't have hot sex". I didn't say "You don't have hot sex" either. Now that you're feeling validated, please consider what was written again, but without ge

Seems pretty straightforward to me. There are legal requirements for an action to be considered rape. -- In the first case, it really is quite trivial. Unconscious is not making a choice. Hence, "mentally competent". I suppose you

Whatever works for you. Your scenario actually seems somewhat atypical to me, but it helps me understand why you come off as "white knight" to everyone. EDIT: which is to say, it's not wrong that this works for you, this isn

by figglesonrails 13y ago
This is so wrong on many levels, but briefly: 1) The legal definition of rape (at least in most states?) makes it such that one cannot "accidentally" do it. Keywords: "[by means of] force", "duress", "phys

I hate to break it to you, but humans (and animals!) value touch very, very much. Flirting without touching is not as effective at creating a bond. Generally, I'd say this advice is fairly sound, if your goal is to make another human b

"No doubt in your mind that..." != "It is true that..." This is the problem with your argument. I'll admit it, I don't explicitly "ask consent" and there have been times where there was "no doubt
