    The fact that lots people have issues with git is proof its not designed well. Even Linus said git is not designed to be easy and nice but hard like 1982 Solaris or vms.

  3. 3D isnt hard on Simple Hack Enables VR Mode For Oculus Rift In Alien: Isolation · · Score: 1

    It just doing 2 renders from two angles.At half the res, but either side-by-side or top-2-top framed.

    Most 3d tvs, and projectors take those inputs to be 3d.

    And its probably a feature of most game-engines to do so.Like those ps3 games.

    Motion inputs are probably just mapped from a Xbox-controller protocol.

    As someone how outright hates (past communists) , their idealogy doesn't seam that bad, if a computer were to control society, but dumb stupid fuck nuts tend to gravitate toward communist leadership positions, much like capitalists management positions.

    But damn those commies sometimes make utterly stupid retarded choices, like in Cuba, not letting people grow their own food, in their yards, or not letting people start their own restaraunts that use their own food - forcing them to use 'govt suppliers'. I mean why, are the commies so bored they try to micromanage every human aspect?

    Yes its gone the reverse extremes here where you need industrial kitchens, licences etc... in the name of safety.

    By definition, you can only prosecute innocent people, not criminals, as they are not guilty until the judgement says so.

    I remember running WinXPe, on a 600mhz amd, that only had 128meg ram, and did have a 9gig HD, but the OS only took up under 200meg.

    As they are running out of mobile numbers and ids, they are recycling them quicker than ever, therefore all SIMS if NOT used for any outgoing calls/sms, will expire in 90 days, be deactivated, and your mobile # placed into a recycle mode.

    The ITU should know that the only reason for making any network is to charge $ for it and make a profit, its not a free network.

    Therefore they should take billing into account, if you cap/limit any resource, you need a smart way to count it and adhere to it, and not go over it by 10000x fold.

    CEOs are technically employed, but they do not REALLY work do they.

    Attend meetings, read the internet, attend meetings, play golf, fly a jet or two, stay in hotels, travel to other meetings, oh tell the PA to do a,b,c,d.

    CEOs arent super human, their brain capacity is not 20x average. Im sure any seasoned programmer could do what a CEO does, remember more details, understand tech better.

    Oh but the real skills come in social engineering and getting that billion dollar deal, by tricking the client.

    Programmers are TOO HONEST! "yeah this server is shit, its capacity is poor", CEO says, "it will solve all solutions , no admin needed"

  20. Re:What's the point? on If Java Wasn't Cool 10 Years Ago, What About Now? · · Score: 1

    I beg to differ, if a large solution requires say, 20 processes running, with common libs, and config files.

    Yeah do it in java, you could just as easily do it in perl, code it cleanly to look like java, no corrupted files. ie no short cuts.

    IF its requires 400 functions in java, then its equally possible in Perl. Doesnt have to be one file, you can make modules to do each task.

    A good design will be equally good in Perl and in Java. Just about every problem is really either converting large amounts of data from A -> B. or triggering events based on rules when processing any data.

  21. Re:I hope not on If Java Wasn't Cool 10 Years Ago, What About Now? · · Score: 1

    why? If you do 50hrs a week on pure C#, and are considered a genius on it, then you can implement and code anything in it that you can in any other language. If a company only makes C# apps or only has C# web services, why would you need java or C++ expertise. Though if youre an expert in C#, you would find other langs easy to learn.

    Java wont magically make a giant problem 10x easier.

    So unless you require 100000 linux machines in a cluster, that is cheaper than 100000 windows machines, C# is good.

    Infact, I would prefer C# compiled to binary over C++ any day. And which C++ ? there are many variants and addon frameworks that restrict your environments.
