opengl [1] is the graphics library that underpins most of the animation and rendering that games ( and your browser ) do.

This app allows you to trace and capture events in code that calls openGL and to follow what's actually happening.

This reminds me of a case I was involved in several years ago, http://techcrunch.com/2008/07/17/channel-intelligence-sues-j... - It ended up blowing up in their faces. I remember getting the phone number to the CEO of Channel Intelligence and calling him up directly. His response was, "Can you all just stop calling me! We'll fix this, just stop calling me!" I believe they were trying to collect license fees to establish their patent, but in the end they had to give it away for free to everybody involved. Those who wouldn't accept it got no further legal action. 5 years later Google bought Channel Intelligence. Go figure.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, become methodology consultants. It's as true of agile as it was of six sigma...

How is this better than Drone (https://drone.io)? My builds run really fast on it and they're also running on Docker. On top of that, they're also open source (https://github.com/drone/drone).
Big ear sits upon the earth. It doesn't move, it just listens to whatever happens to be above it, and relies upon the rotation of the earth to simple multi-directionally. The Earth wobbles somewhat.

Let's assume that somebody else is broadcasting with a transmitter designed exactly like big ear, only in reverse (transmitting instead of receiving). Let's assume that they're very far away. Maybe their own planet wobbles.

What is the likelihood that we're even supposed to have heard the signal again? I mean, the way I'm imagining it is we have two drunk, blindfolded sailors, being randomly spun around as if before a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey game, and each is holding a laser pointer, with no knowledge of each other. In the expanse of large open field, in the course of 1 year, how likely is it that the two laser beams will intersect? Ignoring the curvature of the earth, how much less likely is it the further apart they are? If they're, say, a light year apart (and have impractically powerful lasers), what is the likelihood then?
I'm only superficially familiar with Agile. I feel this piece isn't very specific -- specifically, what benefits of Agile are being missed and why?

I like the Cargo Cult analogy, and the author paints a fairly clear picture of what misapplied Agile tends to look like. Just not clear on what it should look like.

There is a group of developers that need way more love from the CI space: iOS devs.

One day I hope to see a comparable service emerge. Until then the only semi-comparable and cost effective solution is a self hosted Jenkins.

(although I'd love to be proved wrong)
No love for BitBucket?
Unity isn't exactly "open," it's actually closed source which can be a big pain if something goes wrong. Compared to traditional game development where usually you have access to all the source it is a big pain (for me at least).
Well-written. The first (only) comment is even more interesting.

My main question with Vagrant is where to get a trustworthy VM image. The list of random links to community submitted VMs did not instill confidence.
Most people don't have design problems, they have content problems. Giving a talk is difficult, and "slides not being pretty enough" ranks way down there in ways to screw it up.
Ah ok, fair, I'm not familiar with the particulars of CA politics. I was mostly commenting on the how people arguing in politics frequently try to blame things on people whose fault it couldn't possibly be and take credit for things they couldn't have caused.

i noticed these services are opportunistic wrappers of docker (which itself is more than that now), then provide a limited amount of builders for a few bucks (probably because it runs on AWS?)

these could be interesting for projects which need 100, 1000 builders tho, without being cost prohibitive.
In a lot of ways it's tricky, but easy at the same time. We end up trying to build strong concepts that can be mapped onto a few different problems within the event. A lot like an online store product, but with a better grounding in events.

We then try and provide the right management/reporting/organising tools so that they can work with it better.
"Greed is what is (at least, at risk of) killing us and the planet."

If you are going to get that general, why not say the core problem is that we live in a universe where the core biological law is natural selection/survival of the fittest? Ultimately, every biological entity survives and reproduces by either growing the pie or stealing more of the pie. Human beings became dominant in part because the big brains allowed for cooperation in growing the pie, rather than just fighting each other for resources. Unfortunately, our brains are limited and this did not scale beyond the Dunbar number. The invention of rule or law and market economies helped scale this even further, as these innovations made it so that you had to create some value to exchange, rather than just stealing. But the success of those innovations just allowed the species to grow even more numerous, and the systems far, far more complex, and so market economies have broken down as so many people have found it more profitable to game the system than to create real value (gaming the system meaning everything from exploiting arcane financial structures, lobbying for government favors, building web apps to exploit natural monopoly opportunities, etc.)

What is the solution? My best take is that we need to refactor our laws, legal system, and financial system in order to eliminate the opportunities for complexity exploitation, and to re-incentivize value creating activities (such as basic R&D).

Thanks for the tip! I'm using Blender to create artwork for a 3d game, so rendering isn't too much of an issue for me, but will definitely check this out. A quick Google search did turn out a bunch of alternative builds for OS X.

I'm the poster from up-thread, and I agree with this message. :)

With one caveat:

>Always hone your skills so that when an opportunity arises, you can pounce.

My strategy has been to follow my passions, which include digging into various technologies that interest me. I don't do it "so that" I can be relevant. I do it because it's fun.

It just happens that, when you get good enough at enough things, you'll find that at least some of those skills are in demand. I know a lot about so many programming topics that one coworker just accused me of having "an encyclopedic understanding of just about every topic."

A lot of people have their curiosity tortured out of them by their experiences in school. Anyone reading HN likely is at least on the road to lifelong learning, so anyone reading this is likely on a path that could result in a strong salary. To those who complain that reading about every latest new technology is boring, I say: Find your childlike curiosity and reclaim it.
Yes, that was our motivation as well. Thanks and feedback is always welcome :)
Totally cool, and addictive. Not exactly news, but at another level, completely HN worthy

I wonder if on the back of this report, there's merit for getting "professional presenters" doing the pitch/or a small startup opportunity "hire-a-hunk" to pitch your business idea.
Nice! Until now I've been using

imap <silent> <Up> <C-o>gk
nmap <silent> <Down> gj

in my .vimrc to give me mousewheel scrolling in vim.

The advantage of putting it in my .vimrc is that I have mousewheel scrolling on the server no matter what computer I log in from.

The disadvantage is that I'm locked into vim and it won't work for someone using, say, emacs.

No... agile has failed cause most of the "enterprise" apps written in the "agile way" (and many claim to be) are crap.

This isn't the fault of the agile manifesto. It's the fault of consultants who used Agile as a buzzword. The same consultants who never understood agile or cared to; producing apps riddled with bugs.

Agile was heading to the abyss the day it was co-opted into a marketing buzzword.

I think you vastly overestimate Reddit's influence there, it might be the largest ever, but certainly not the first.

I still remember the /. threads during 9/11, now that felt like the first time that an internet forum really reacted in mass to an event. (queue someone "get off my lawn" comment about BBS's and Kennedy or something)
It's shit but, eh, that's the way the world turned out?

We are in agreement.

People have every right to be annoyed because the people who were entrusted with the concept of the web implemented it very badly.

Again, no disagreement. But in the meantime, implementing things is still my preferred activity to complaining.
Some differentiators - Visualization of test & code coverage results, Matrix build to test multiple variations for a single push, and you also get 5 container build concurrency for $25 instead of 1 container in case of drone.

They are loading like 20 jQuery libraries in the header. Nothing is minified. By looking at the JS code here http://assets.razerzone.com/eeimages/products/15348/js/templ..., it seems like they vomited jQuery on top of a PSD2HTML site. Bad indentation, bad class names like ".bar-prc1", ".bar-prc2", ".bar-prc3", no selector caching, no consitent usage of chaining, inconsistent style overall, in other words, a mess.

To the extent that I've seen development methodologies work, they appear to mostly fix organizational barriers that get in the way of The One Thing That Actually Works[1]: hire a small group of extremely talented developers and product designers and then let them work.

This touches on what I believe to be the real, underlying issue: you (as a company) can't manage yourself out of a hole you've managed yourself in to. If management is defective, it will taint any process no matter how well conceived, because the underlying problem is not that the process is flawed, but that the people enforcing it are.

They're not really comparable events. I'm old enough to have been around for both - and Boston was a far more immersive online expercience. 2001 we didn't have Streetview and u-stream. Also, 9/11 was not a man-hunt. My online memories of 9/11 only recall speculation about the sky falling in - after the fact. What made Boston special (sic) was that it was in real-time - and you were effectively on the ground with the five-0 in that locked down suburb.

Well, I agree. And asm.js etc are better than what we had before, so some praise should be allocated to them. But it is not innovative or elegant; it's a hack that takes us back to the state of the JVM more than a decade ago, and we're going to be paying the cost for it for some time. Hell, they can't even get the simplest possible thing - the syntax of HTML - right. So it will always anger me when I see web types touting their "innovation" etc. They are good at one thing: marketing to stupids.

Unlike with nukes (Project Orion notwithstanding), having access to relativistic weapons also implies having access to space travel. This is not necessarily the case, especially given biological constraints, but let's assume you have space travel.

Well, then you are also spread out, and given enough time, you spread throughout a galaxy. With that level of spread, the safety in numbers and distribution over a large space is a form of strong defense against relativistic weapons from other civilizations.

Furthermore, the technology for these weapons may also open up avenues for defense, even if such is not the case for nuclear weapons. Consider a relativistic missile detection system that continually scans for incoming missiles and is able to quickly accelerate its own for head-on collisions. Granted, there's not much notice. But let's say you have missiles at 0.99c - quite fast - and a light year away (would any closer be plausible for a launch? Maybe with relativistic ICBMs... or ISBMs rather). By my non-relativistic calculations, that gives you almost 90 hours to prepare countermeasures.

A "simpler" countermeasure is just to go overboard with the spreading idea. Simply live on millions of asteroids with your advanced propulsion tech slapped on. When a relativistic threat is detected, each asteroid is nimble enough to get out of the way, and if some are still hit, it's a small loss.

Though, the attacker could just shoot many smaller, faster missiles dispersed over a wide area. Not civilization-annihilating now, unless it was overwhelming in number, but still painful.

A "people manager" should never be put in charge of project or schedule management. It creates a conflict of interest between the realities of the project, and the outside pressure the manager may receive from other teams.

That's why, at least with Scrum, the agile manager, if he or she is part of the same team, reports to the same manager as the development team. The agile manager's job is to keep the agile process running smoothly, removing impediments, etc.
Yeah, 8080s never ran MS-DOS. The original IBM PC, for which MS-DOS was written, had an 8088 procesor.

Recently I lost access to an old google account that I hadn't used in a long time. Google asked me a couple of questions like when was the account created, I purposely entered the month incorrectly. This was followed by some other vague questions like which other google services do I use etc. Finally I was surprised at how easily I was able to reset my password. An evil mind can easily compromise tonnes of accounts because there are ways to guess a lot of the data Google asks. I'll skip the details here.

Bottomline, Google & its users need to step up account security, atleast for their primary account that's tied to banking etc. 2FA is definitely a temporal piece of mind until someone finds a loophole.

>Please, explain to me why JS doesnt suck.

I have no idea why the author has meandered onto this tangent, but in any case: no, that's not how it works. You made the preposterously unlikely claim that JavaScript is "literally the worste programming language ever". Not just a bad language, not just hyperbolically "totally the worst", but literally the worst language ever created.

Defending that position is on you.
