I'm pretty sure if they did that my home PC would revert almost immediately to Linux, especially now Vulkan is out and the graphics stack looks like it may actually start working correctly.
Managers implement very simple algorithms to do their work, don't they. What was it at Microsoft? Stack-Ranking. At my employer it's hours worked (forget quality of work, number of bugs and so on). We could probably get rid of all managers and replace them with a single "cloud" based manager that just counts things and divides them by another number and then fires you or not at the end of the month.
Ah there's your mistake, Third wave feminism isn't about treating everyone equally. These days it's more a war on white males and often poor white males at that. First and second wave feminism has more or less been banished from the lecture theatre.
Tool is the correct word, as in you are one for taking this paper seriously, or any sociological "study" come to think of it.
If you want to know what it means to a community when the glacier retreats or the glacier advances, there are perfectly reasonable ways to do that if you start with a hypothesis and then attempt to prove or disprove it using actual measureable things and sound statistical techniques. Writing thousands of words of utter bollocks simply increases the amount of boredom in the world. It cost the long suffering tax payer, straining under a $19 trillion dollar debt, $459,452.
I think the temperature late Cretaceous was falling, not rising. There's substantial evidence of a general species decline (marine at least) for the 10m years preceding the KT event.
With respect to Rigby's hypothesis, there are so many variables to consider it's very hard to conclude anything from the presence of blood vessels in the frill.
Diversity Guardian is the kind of hire you make when you're spending other people's money and of course being a start-up that's precisely what they're doing. Wankers.
Good grief, it's no way near as clumsy as Linux for computer graphics or software development in general. If there's one thing Microsoft get right its their tool chain and SDKs. D3D9 - D3D11 (haven't coded with 12 yet) were far superior to OpenGL as APIs, though I prefer GLSL to HLSL for purely aesthetic reasons. Of course Vulkan makes Linux a first class citizen again so we'll see what happens.
No, it's not "just" the D3D API. It's the complete tool chain which is far superior to anything you get anywhere else and the complete set of APIs of which the 3D API is just one part.
Oh for fuck's sake. What is wrong with your brain? The clue was in the summary, using a semi-empirical model, we produced a massive pile of utter bollocks.
Why don't you talk to Hamas about it then? Or perhaps they're too busy throwing homosexuals off the tops of tall buildings to care. Israel is more likely to enter them into a European song contest of course.
Don't be silly. The "bloom" of insects is also earlier. And even if that were not the case, some proportion of the population of eggs won't hatch early, giving them a big competitive advantage. It's called the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. I thought they still taught that in schools?
It's a thinner layer on top of your graphics hardware than DX 9, 10, 11, OpenGL 4.5 and below are. It's the cross-platform equivalent of DirectX 12. It'll be used a lot on mobile, mostly because it's a lot more efficient than OpenGL and therefore will be able to do the same work with less battery power, in theory at least. It's a lot more friendly to multicore CPUs than OpenGL. It's got an interesting "layered" architecture, very useful for developers. It's far, far easier to develop a driver for than previous APIs, so hopefully it'll improve competition, at least in the mobile space. All in all it's about time.
If you want the low-down on what was wrong with graphics drivers, read this eye-opening account from someone who worked a while at NVIDIA.
I don't see why AMD drivers won't be up to snuff when it comes to Vulkan. It's a superset of Mantle for starters and it's a lot simpler to implement at a driver level than complex APIs like OpenGL.
Btw I never had any problem with my AMD drivers on Windows!
Yes, please tell me about the 5-sigma standard in Climate Science and how amazingly accurate the models are. I'm sure everybody would be interested to know.
Yes but all qualities that are so ephemeral to all but the most diligent consumer, I would doubt any benchmark reliable except under very specific loads. And then you have to factor in the optimisations in the drivers the manufacturers include for these specific loads that vary with driver version. Judging performance reliably (at the moment at least) is very hard indeed.
That was a long time ago; a time when the owners of wealth had a monopoly on it, kept it in big chests and where the only way to on in life was via their patronage. These days anyone can start a business and start transferring some of that wealth almost immediately.

Yes, drawing a functional diagram is what developers effectively do.

Immersed in your own vomit, mostly likely.

Precisely. And as an investor I'd be mad as hell they're burning $123,000 a year on a "diversity guardian".

How is my comment above off-topic. The Lunar-G SDK is the only Vulkan SDK available at the moment.
Ignorant twats.

And check out the Lunar-G SDK (you can sign up for it today). Got my first spinning cube up and running in about 2 minutes (OK, Lunar-G wrote it but whatever!).
