Lets break this down a little bit: + This is a device ideally aimed for third world countries + No training/procedures for handling the device + They will be reusing the item as much as possible to save on costs, regardless if it says "single use". + An item that comes into direct contact with the disease. = More spread of diseases.
Its all well and good inventing the tools for the job. But who is going to pay the cost for the training to ensure this device doesn't start a mass epidemic?
I wont be donating, for the simple fact i dont want to promote bad programming. You know the programming that requires a mass of "i'am not sure if i need this, but what the hell" dependencies. You want me to fund you for that, and, ignoring your community?
Take a leaf out of LXDE's book. Care about optimizations and simple functionality. Thats all we want and all we need (oh yeah, and a UI for a PC, not a tablet).
The RaspberryPi is a pretty much never something you should actually choose. Its certainly not a $35 general purpose computer
Running great as my £25: - Webserver - Ftp server - Bittorrent server
Also runs great as a external device controller. You know, robotics and real world implementation that school kids can learn stuff from?
You don't want to use a Raspberry Pi, its crappy hardware with a broken USB stack, shitty graphics stack due to Broadcom not making a driver or release the specs.
Yes there are better devices out there, yes the Pi is now "slow", but its also old in a fast paced ARM race. But the Pi is designed for exploration and learning. Which is does not only as a device, but as a foundation and community.
£25 for your kids to learn from a hands on device, count me in.
- XP is optimized for the period when it was made. Its bloody fast. - Its faster than 7/8. Why upgrade to slow down your machine? - It just works, with minimal bullshit running in the background. - It wasnt designed with market control in mind - It was designed to be a OS for the user.
Why replace something that is clearly better than every OS afterwards? The reason, because MS want control and your money, regardless the cost to what is good for you.
More like the fact that CAD software packages cost many thousands of dollars, and no good free alternatives exist.
- Blender? - Sketchup? (for basics)
I've always used Blender for modelling 3D game assets. The good thing about free/open software? If something doesnt exist in the product, you can code it in yourself for free!
A lot of the pseudo-science out there has, in a sense, adapted to having common knowledge applied. Take vaccines for example. A class might teach how they work, discuss the history of how they have stopped many diseases, but what is one to do when presented with the latest anti-vaccine goal-shifted argument, like the 'too many too soon' line? When you have people who will continuously invent new arguments as their basic premise is yet again demonstrated to be false, it is best to teach people the basics of pseudoscience along with science, so that the former can be spotted for what it is. The same applies for a slew of other common nonsenses, which could be used as case studies. I suspect giving clear case studies may be particularly beneficial. My personal anecdote, I was raised to believe in young earth creationism, and it was the realization that I was being expected to commit the same kinds of errors as homeopaths & other woo-woos that helped me to realize that what I had been taught was wrong in a great many ways.
Clearly, there needs to be more focus on basic English classes.
I don't think even running a computer at full power all the time will make difference to the battery of a car.
Over the duration of the battery usage, any drain is a drain. Optimizations are key when batteries are involved, no matter how small the benefit. If you simply ignore all of those "little improvements", your essentially missing out on the "bigger improvement".
So yes, regardless of what the system does, every little optimization to battery life counts. Especially when you add all of those factors up as a total.
Lets be honest, Ubuntu is a bloated beast, even if its modified.
Considering the Telsa cars run on batteries and that any optimization would be a huge benefit. Would it not be in their best interest to use a highly optimized Debian, or even slackware, over a bloated Ubuntu? Consider this system is always running when the car is offline, and with the recent "vampire" energy drain. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out the current operating system could be replaced and/or improved.
Big oversight in my eyes, and a lazy one at that from Tesla. Forefront of technology? Nope.

None of these projects are open source. The engines used, are open source.
The default percentage cut is (which can be customized): - 65% Dev - 20% Engine - 15% Humble website
So in effect, they are using the "open source engine" as a pull to make money. I'am all for it with the custom split option. But, lets make sure we use the term "open source projects (ENGINE)" correctly.
Stop being pedantic. It doesn't matter if the terms are interchanged or not, the underlying principle is still the same.

Ok, you have types with leading lowercase letters, variables with both leading uppercase and lowercase letters. with a captial "I"
Copy and paste for the win.
and you initialize a string unnecessarily.
Necessarily, i initialize the string correctly and give it a NULL value, before i go ahead and play with it. I'd love to see the values of your variables. Wonder how many of them are uninitialized and causing havoc in your code.
'Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, 'have national laws requiring that children be screened for giftedness, with top scorers funneled into special programs.
So instead of doing the above program in the USA to help their own country, America's tech leaders want to use immigration? Yeah, i can see why you guys need those gifted Chinese.
A couple rounds I've had the audio completely cock up from what I can only describe as it trying to play too many sounds at once...then just playing broken bits...then completely breaking down, requiring me to tough it out until the audio is reinitialized with the start of the next round.
Sounds like the audio is running on a separate thread. Most likely, the main audio parts are loaded at launch. The thread will then destroy and load current audio while the game is running, basically hot swapping. The reason for the corruption is probably due to failed create/destroy requests, and didnt complete in the required time for the thread. Either that, or they haven't made it truly thread safe. Could even be a simple case of the audio play request has been made and completed before the audio was destroyed and loaded into memory, hence, casing the corruption in audio playback.

Instead of realizing the obvious:
"The internet allows people to make their own mind up, using unbiased data."
Lets automatically assume:
"People dont believe in my religion and wont accept my biased beliefs. The internet should be blamed"
I love you Americans for simplicity, if not completely blinded :)
Could HAVE, bonehead.
Typical American, fucks up the English language and assumes their always right.
Let me guess, you "saw" something instead of actually "seen" it?
You don't say, "I of predicted" or "I of shitty grammar" do you?
Noticed i used the word "could" after "I" and before "of"?
That is the big give away.
"I of shitty grammar". Using "could" does not work in this case.

Intel seems to be stuck making these Atom range of CPU's for the last 4+ years.
They were a "fad" back then, and even now, they just dont cut it.
I suppose noone could of predicted ARM cpus would improve this quickly, but its time to move on Intel. Atom is a dead end in the current market.

A game developer Improving/contributing to an engine for their own projects gain, is nothing new. I've done it myself.
Regardless, this doesnt make their projects open source, the ENGINE is open source :)
Lets make sure thats clear.

8 Cores wont magically make the code threaded.
We still live in this era of Single threaded applications and games, drives me up the wall.
