In my experience, no other VS extension even begins to affect performance to the degree ReSharper does. JetBrains readily acknowledges the performance issues. Is there a conflict of design between VS and ReSharper? Perhaps. But that the

I'm always shocked to see this. In my experience ReSharper is an unusable hog. It absolutely destroys VS performance, and the UX is abysmal. This only got worse in VS2015. I keep giving ReSharper chances because of all the praise I

I'm not really disagreeing. Setting expectation is always a good thing. However, speaking as a manager...if one of my team members is always stepping up and getting things done in a reliable way without me having to constantly direct

I grew up in Hazard, KY. Tourism would help, but it won't fill the void left by the mining industry. There was a massive amount of money in coal. Every profession in the area ultimately led back to coal. Tourism can help some parts

Yeah, I'm thinking now that I was totally out of my element and a little foolish with my original comment. Were you developing console games or PC games? I'm guessing console as my impression is that fixed frame rates are much m

Very interesting, you are correct. Thanks for this reply. My experience has always been in the world of 'performance is king', it's easy for me to lose sight of the idea that systems do exist in which such a limit is benefi

I'm a developer, but not a game developer. Making the decision to hardcode game logic to only accept 33ms frame time sounds like a pretty dumb choice. I would wager that if your fix is to artificially cap performance of your software

Let me qualify, this isn't really my area, so I'm a bit out of my element. If we are talking rasterization, isn't an OpenCL/CUDA version pretty much always going to stomp an x86 implementation? While on the ray tracing

To me, as the user, whose fault it is could not matter less. I only care if the system works or not. In the event of a driver failure, knowing it's not MS's fault makes the failure no less impactful.

I think auto-pilot already can override intentional actions of the pilot. It's my understanding that auto-pilot will prevent a pilot from many actions that would result in a stall?
166.
by lsadam0 12y ago
That is true. What I'm wondering about is why the plane allows a pilot to take a fatal action. For example, why would an auto-pilot system allow a jetliner to nose dive? Maybe it does not. I'm certain these scenarios have been

Is there any good reason that auto-pilot could not be enabled to override suicidal actions of a pilot? Perhaps a system that requires input from both pilot and co-pilot to override?

I must give you credit, this is very well said. This is a legitimate concern. I feel as though this is what others have been attempting to say when using the "illegal activities" argument.

The OP, BitcoinJobe, goes on in the comments of your link to clarify the statement is that there are not fraudulent chargebacks in Bitcoin. He's right. There aren't. You can't make a bitcoin purchase, receive the item, an

Again, I would say: So? So cryptocurrency found a large push from a utility that was largely illegal. Who cares? Does it diminish the utility of the technology in any way whatsoever?

by lsadam0 12y ago
No. You're conflating the trust-less nature of bitcoin with the idea that individuals who possess Bitcoin are trustful. The very nature of Bitcoin lies on the assertion that no individual is trustful, and that a trustful network can a

I won't disagree that CryptoCurrencies have by and large been used for illegal transactions. Though, my response would be: So? Any technology can be applied to do something illegal. Do you think this fact played 0 part in the Interne

by lsadam0 12y ago
I believe both sides of the aisle hold some responsibility for this disconnect. Detractors of cryptocurrency often like to cite the shady world of BitCoin securities, just like this article does. However, that's not a valid criticism.

The problem with that article is not that it makes 0 valid points, it's that it makes some terrible correlations as an attempt to prove cryptos won't be huge. What does a scammer selling unlicensed shares in porn production have
