Well, that arm is going to basically be unusable.

Interesting idea with face detection, though I'm not sure if there would be any wins over what the video codec already does.

I can't help but think on how that reflects on current government.

I might be misunderstanding, but shouldn't gamma correction happen after drawing your scene?

How? Isn't this better than loaning? Or do you mean trading?

Once someone figures out a natural content creation interface, that will be truly groundbreaking. Who knows if it's even possible purely with hand gestures. I forget where I read this, but one of the major factors in precise control ov

Yeah, I'm not sure I get it either. They call it a "syndication network" which, for me, gives the impression of a distributed network that is strictly controlled, which defeats the purpose. I hope this is just poor wording.

I noticed that, but you're still allocating for 800 goroutines in the end. I guess in the scope of the benchmark, that is still relatively cheap. It just was a red flag for me.

by james4k 13y ago
Why are you parallelizing these in such different ways? For example, in Go you start 800 goroutines, but in others you start just 4 threads/tasks as worker pool. I would imagine indeed these would give quite different results.

This is because cgo is actually a preprocessor that generates the final C and Go code that is built. The tools are just good at hiding this. Personally, I wouldn't say this is a bad thing. You can do some powerful things with this, inc

Why do that versus: http.HandleFunc("/route_to_url", handlerWrapper(handler)) http.HandleFunc("/route_to_url2", handlerWrapper(handler2)) Is the map used elsewhere?

If you use Go's time.Sleep(), the goroutine will yield to all other goroutines while it is sleeping. Unfortunately, as georgemcbay says, using the system's sleep impedes Go's runtime as it cannot use that thread to run any go

In regards to Go, why do you think it feels too low-level? Is it about library availability or is it more about the language itself?

Do you know about GOMAXPROCS? Sounds like tuning it could help.

Is it just me or were the number of buzzword adjectives in this event absolutely ridiculous?

by james4k 13y ago
Can you back up that claim?

by james4k 13y ago
Yeah.. well, native developers want to target the latest platforms, too. :(

Personally, my hope is that we'll be able to target the browser through this effort via emscripten (asm.js) and PNaCl.

Whenever I've tried leaving an insightful note for myself like this, over time it seems to completely lose its meaning. Definitely never as profound as when you read it the first couple times. Perhaps that would make a great app. Periodic a

Wow, Tuesdays are killer. Edit: At first it seems we are trending down in happiness, but surely there is some bias here. One thought is that the number of new or fresh twitter users has declined, and so the overall eagerness and excitement

Yeah, from my experience this map seems outdated and may only apply to some of the older generations (like 60+), and indeed, rural areas.

Aside from third party licensing for middleware like Bink, Scaleform, Havok, console APIs, etc. I'd guess some if it has to do with the constant competition over graphics technology that's only just started to slow down in the last couple y

Yeah, I wonder if there are any in-depth studies on these dogs.

You might be right, but it's possible considering all of the modern distractions and passive entertainment we have that it really is a matter of mental conditioning (or something like that).

Hmm, I thought I tried using a Math function without success, but I must have done something wrong. Thanks for steering me off the wrong path.

Is there no way to get the direction vector of the ship? You have rotation in radians, but no way to convert that.. not even cos/sin to roll it yourself. Am I missing something?

Why not? Aren't rocket-fueled thrusters much heavier due to the weight of the fuel alone?

Hmm, so far I haven't experienced anything like this. /me crosses fingers. How long ago was this?
