I beg to differ, my experience with the nvidia drivers is quite different to yours. Whenever they upgrade them its a nightmare and generally results in the driver crashing the kernel. Letting a video driver bring down the kernel is inexcusa

nvidia and linux just don't seem to work together. I've been on 13.10 and looking forward to an upgrade in the hope that it might fix the problem where compiz freezes up the window manager for minutes on end. Linux with nvidia is

haha! what does that even mean - that's just typical religious mumbo jumbo. It's by relying in "HIM" that we have the blind spot. If "He" is so capable wouldn't he have thought of a better way to connect t

What beautiful irony, the bible itself extols the value in "knowing god" - for which I will read, knowing the natural world. Yet when anyone tries to do that, they very often end up being persecuted by the very same church. Not th

Who still uses Windows!?! Linux at work, OSX in my bag. I couldn't bring myself to use Windows after all these years. 3.1 was great, since then it got worse every year. I gave up on Windows years ago. It's like still using Hadoop

Big Data is less about size and more of a characterization. Human generated data can never be big data - there's just not enough humans to make it all. Possibly with the exception of the biggest social networks. Big Data is machine gen

* I've lost pretty much all my friends because of the time I've spent trying to make my ideas work. I suspect that work has nothing to do with this, more likely the negativity and the real reason why you're so obsessed with

* Elsewhere this is prevented by unions, regulations and the implicit understanding that allowing the next man to devalue himself today will devalue the group tomorrow. yeah, but we make 3x as much as the union protected workers. It's

I had no idea that was your intention and I get the volumetric pixel thing, since I moved into working on other areas I haven't stayed current. Texture mapping on low poly count models was where I left things, back then the hardware di

nonsense, any software dev that can't follow a lambda that adds 1 should be taken outside and shot. When Norvig says talks of regular folks, he means people with 1/10th his IQ, which is still the top 1%. Norvig is so far out there

Maybe this appeals to the younger gamer community, but having been involved back in the 90s with Renderware (which got eaten up by EA), a competitor to Rendermorphics that became (sort of) DirectX I would expect graphics engines to be much

these are very much me-too companies. Algolia says they are database-centric but that's just marketing speak, search is search, "database search" is just facet search where you've told them the relevancy of each facet. T
