If you're on an nvidia GPU, check out nvidia nsight. And this is also one problem with GL, if there are good debugging/profiling tool they often only work on one OS and/or for specific GPUs (and I hope this is where VOGL will come in and fix that).

Other then that I don't even think of OpenGL as a single standard anymore. It's more like "Nvidia GL" "AMD GL", "Intel GL", "Apple GL", etc... there is a core set of functionality which works across all implementations (and which could be cleaner), but if performance is more important then easy portability, you need to implement driver specific code paths anyway. Whether this is good or bad I haven't yet made up my mind completely. At least on GL you have an environment where GPU vendors can experiment and compete through extensions.
Ask HN: on H4 visa for 5 years did nothing. now starting up
I am on H4 visa for 5 years and I practically did nothing. Not because I did not wanted to but because I had the responsibility to take care of my children. Now I have an idea and I want to build up on the idea but I don't even know people here forget getting intro to angel. Should I even dare to go ahead with my idea ? If yes, How can I build my network from scratch ? I live in Mid-south.

> What if reproducibility is more important than uptime?

Reboots aren't something you need to reproduce multiple times a day

> How does memory fragmentation affect performance after more than 24 hours?

If this is a massive issue then your server daemon is piss poor. However I think you're just clutching at straws here.

> What happens when your server has to restart from a cold cache scenario?

That doesn't mean you have to reboot your server several times a day

> What happens when your server is down?

It would only be down because you're rebooting the bloody thing :p

> What about that setting that a sys admin manually applied to the server 6 months ago to fix some issue and isn't in saved in the server config?

You don't need to reboot a live server several times a day to apply and test server config.

> By forcing a condition people try to avoid you get good at dealing with those situations.

Advocating repeatedly breaking live servers as practice to know what to do when they break accidentally is the dumbest thing I've read in a while. I don't need to repeatedly walk in front of a bus to learn not to walk in front of a bus. If you need to practice test scenarios then do so on a test system - that's what they're there for!

> How often do your database servers actually fail over?

Through my own negligence? They haven't yet. Through dodgy code rushed live by our developers; more often that I'd like to admit.

> How confident are you in your code and systems to actually fail over properly?

Code: not very. But I don't manage that. Systems: very confident. But I do sane load and disaster testing on test systems; and monitoring and logging on all systems to highlight potential issues before they completely snap.

> How do you prime the caches when your memcached servers reboot?

We're not stupid enough to reboot all our live infrastructure (and their redundancies) when they're in use. Let alone to do it multiple times a day.

--------------------------------------------

You're not convincing me that you need to reboot your servers multiple times a day; if anything, you're just convincing me that you don't have a proper dev and test infrastructure in place. And that's far more dangerous than any of the other issues you or I've raised thus far.

IMHO sleep + physical exercise can get you way further: Will make you work smarter, healthier and better thinker.

I'd say try to adjust your schedule to allow (at least) 7 hour good quality sleep[1] and at least 45-75 minutes of exercise daily.

You'll have 15:30 hours free :-)

[1] Getting a good sleep involves a good bed, freshly oxygenated room, right temperature, no room, no iphones/ipads/e-devices, no video-games, no-movies etc.
Thanks. [3] is essentially the outline of the first course I took from him.

It didn't occur me that SRT division might have any recent relevance, ancient history and all that, but Google tells me that the Pentium floating point bug was in fact a buggy lookup table for SRT division and that it is still apparently in use in microprocessors today. I wish he could know that.
I share your optimism and I'm a big believer that it will not be long before Carl Sagan's "Contact" event will happen, not from the stars but here on earth - my inclination is to suspect Grey Whales, but there are a good few candidates for the position of first contact as we begin to unpack the semantics of other species communication protocols.

I'm interested in your opinions from another perspective however, as I believe it's /possible/ that /intelligence/ has emerged elsewhere in the universe (and as you say the more we learn about and redefine our notions of "intelligence" the more /possible/ this becomes, imho) but I am suspect that we occupy a very unique (rare?) niche that allows for the possibility of technology and I don't think this can be understated. But that's just my gut feeling on that one and who is to say that other forms of life require technology to do the type of things we do? It's an interesting question that makes me think of the Arthur C. Clark/Stephen Baxter novels that are very relevant in this discussion: genetically modified hyper-intelligent cephelopods that lack the essential ingredients required for colonising space - as a result of lacking technology.

the idea behind it is generally an awesome one. the problem is that google will recognize the terms, the searches without a click on a result,... and it´s any easy one to identify such simple "smoke bombs" for google. Thousands of robots are searching for things on google(e.g. all ranking monitoring tools). I guess, but that is for sure just a guess, that google will be able to filter automated tools. If you make random clicks and maybe add your random wordlist... could be helpfull.

I didn't really decide to halt development, the project simply lost momentum over time, I didn't consider it dead until a couple years later. During that timeframe I also stopped writing PHP and picked up saner web development habits.

That was pretty good, right up until the end. There's a curve that the author manually subdivides into 4 separate curves without any justification.

It'd be nice if we had a signing mechanism; it could reuse most of the mechanics of SSL encryption (same certs, same algorithms) and it'd provide tampering-proof communications would hindering caching. And it could even be done statically, without requiring more servers resources per request (e.g. as a step during static site generation).
For that price I'd want to test the app for a while first.
Glad to see they don't feel the need to funnel all your mail through their servers like Mailbox did.

If you can take Some Risk:
Take admission in college, quit the job and work on your startup.

If not:
The only key word is "Determination","Where there's a will, there's a way"

Still I have some tips for you:

1) Increase your physical activities(Imp), go to job and in night work on startup.

2) "Time is money", Move near to your work place.. etc

3) Live with your co-founders (or Girlfriend or Love ones)

4) Keep some spare time to meet your loved one, it keeps you motivated.

5) Focus on correct things, 80-20 Rule.
20% Task get your 80% work done.

6) Work with a velocity that you can control. One should know his/her limits.

7) There are points in time where things don't seem to be going well, in such times its only you who can help yourself. Be determined

:) Cheers & Best of Luck !!!Eat good Food :)
The flight was at 60,000' - You would have to look far and wide for a platform in which "short int" wasn't two bytes.

For example,
Here is what the compiler for the 8-bit ATMEL Atmega 328 in an arduino does (on a platform with 32KB for program text and 2KB for RAM.)

sizeof(bool) == 1
sizeof(short) == 2
sizeof(int) == 2
sizeof(long) == 4
sizeof(long long) == 8
sizeof(void *) == 2
Sometimes when I become lucid in a dream, if the scenario I am in (or just the atmosphere) is too unpleasant, then I just force myself to wake up.

Additionally, you can learn how to do 'supernatural' things when you are lucid such as flying, which I almost always use to change the scenery upon becoming lucid.

I forget that all organisms are in the evolutionary race with us. We humans may have crossed the "consciousness" line first, but our successors may still be in the running. Maybe it'll be algae in some pond or maybe the buffalo mutates over many generation or maybe a third nuclear world war mutates some bacteria which evolves quickly. Maybe we create it.

The sun only has 2.4 billion years left and it took a little longer than that to go from no life to conscious humans. So whatever evolves to replace us better be alive today and ramp up pretty quickly before the sun dies.

Maybe the future conscious octopus civilization will view the sky how we view the deep ocean.
> The fact that relatively high intelligence has arisen from many architectures multiple times on this planet bodes well for the frequency of intelligent life on exoplanets.

Yes, but if you expect high intelligence to result in spaceships and space exploration, the actual probability falls close to zero. Among all the "intelligent" species on Earth, only humans have been able to build stuff to cross the limits of their own beings. So we may well find out some kind of intelligent animals on remote planets, but it's apparently unlikely we get to see human-like species who have become as advanced as we are. Maybe in that sense we indeed are an accident of Nature.

I think net neutrality is one of those things that the average laymen has to be explained and doesn't intuitively understand what is in their own best interest.

If Time Warner claims that net neutrality gives them slower more expensive internet, then they really don't have the expertise to conclude otherwise. And that's a problem.

As a result, the polls which are conducted show that the public doesn't want net neutrality. see http://heartland.org/policy-documents/majority-public-oppose... and http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2006/09/7772/

I think that the big players need to plaster ads on things like the google homepage which try to explain the concepts in simple-simple terms and why having it doesn't mean "slower and pricier internet" and additionally, that any complaints they may have about expensive slow internet is nearly 100% due to too-little and not too-much regulation of the companies which they pay for this so-called service.
Looks good, but it does need a trial of some kind. I'd definitely try it out.

Suggestion 1: try to steal time from your day job to work on your dream.

Suggestion 2: be creative and think of alternative ways of financing your startup work that are less demanding of your time. For example, find a job that pays better so you can save more for later when you want to start your enterprise.
I always love reading artists rules of thumb for how to use curves and surfaces in design.

I'm surprised how much performance is a consideration. In CAD the degree of the surfaces are not really a big deal any more, surface degrees of 3 are most common, in some fields you get up to degree 7 or 8. However there are generally a lot fewer surfaces in CAD then there are curves in a page full of fonts.

A couple of comments:

> to convert quadratic to cubic, the best the program could do is an approximation of the original outline

You can convert quadratic to cubic exactly (the algorithm is called degree elevation). Cubic to quadratic must be an approximation, but the artist seems happy with it and designs around it (Bezier endpoint at inflection point, etc). The other comments about file size and computation still hold.

> Since we still need a worldwide network of computers just to find some more pi digits, no perfect circles to anyone

Hmm, you can get perfect circles with rational Beziers, but I don't know if those are supported in fonts. I know they're not supported in svg.
well Google can't prove it isn't sending all our e-mails to our underground reptilian overloads either, right?

Code highlighting is wonderful, but we're having too much of it
I ran the Quake 3 demo. It was frameskipping all over. Performance was not acceptable for even playing. I think 10-15 fps. No, its not my laptop. My laptop has no problems with real Quake 3. I want to ask you to take a step back and look at it purely from a black box perspective. Forget about JavaScript for a moment. Is it really your opinion this is reasonable performance?
Are you Paul? My brother's name is Paul.
I think it's to make the conversion from cubic to quadratic more predictable.

In my experience designing tools, artists often prefer predictable over optimal.

Of course VAT is applied. Businesses pay VAT, just like everyone. The key to understanding VAT is to focus on the value-added part. Businesses pay VAT on their purchases, charge VAT to their customers in their sales, and get a payback from the government equal to the difference of the two values. They thus pay VAT on the value they add to the economic flow. Every participant on the economic flow of a good pays their share of VAT, the whole good gets taxed in.

Companies and individuals aren't different, except that individual consumers have no one to charge VAT to. They are the end of the line for the good or service.
I truly hope the next GL version would be similar to OpenCL. There is no mutable global state so it's threadsafe (one function in OpenCL 1.0 had one but it was swiftly deprecated and is no longer used).

Most importantly there is no global binding. Instead of binding one just sets kernel arguments and executes the kernel.
The SBCL port is to hard float, there are still lots of ARM systems with VFP that don't have hardware divide.
The worst side-effect is the middle-click + move mouse up/down to scroll doesn't work. It completely kills that.
Agreed. $20 is also kind of steep for an app whose current version only has 2.5 stars in the app store (and 3.0 across all versions). It sounds like it crashes a lot and is missing some seemingly basic features.
The premise here would be two LF cameras, mounted rigidly in an IOD-like frame.

They probably aren't lying. And if they were, it would be trivially possible to demonstrate that the app doesn't send data to a third-party server in general use. And it would be discovered pretty quickly.

There is no way—even with open source software—to prove that and app isn't sending data to a third party. Unless you are going to build all of your hardware from raw materials, and build your own software by hand, using a bootstrapped compiler that you wrote yourself. In machine code.

Given the above, it's obvious that there has to be a level of trust involved at some point in the process. The majority of people using open-source software aren't building it themselves, and so the trust issue would still be there if the software was open. Who's to say they wouldn't provide a binary that shipped your data off, without including that code in the open release?

IOW, your predictable shallow response adds precisely zero value to the discussion about how to ensure privacy in software.
This looks nice and all but they don't seriously expect anyone to be using this without support for signing and encrypting messages, are they?
