Route finding occurs once per route per citizen, not every frame. Routes get updated if some event happens that causes the route to be broken (street destroyed by player or some other event).
That cuts down on your calculations immensely. Per frame calculations are limited to those that need updates immediately. Routes can be generated outside peak travel time as well, while its night time, you're progressively calculating new routes/updates for the next morning.
100,000 agents in a simulation isn't all that bad when you aren't drawing a bunch of triangles for each and every one of them.
Summary doesn't say 2500 users, it says 2500 usernames 'registered'... because the guy who wrote it was manually registering them for the first 5 days before he figured out he should automate the process of creating usernames to inflate his numbers.
Did they? I was part of an organization who had a CC breach due to our own utter stupidity, we called both the FBI, Visa, and Mastercard and asked them if they wanted the card numbers that were breached... they didn't give a flying fuck, didn't want to know anything about it. The FBI eventually cared enough to go to the guys house... after WE tracked him down for them.
It wasn't a real breach, the guy just stumbled across an utterly stupid web app storing a massive list of CC #s in a log file that he happen to stumble on by playing with the URL path and going up a few directories... turned out the guy really was just trying to get his damn purchase to go through.
Point to the story however is, Visa and MasterCard both told us to destroy the list of numbers and they wanted nothing to do with it. We of course moved the list off the server and saved it for the FBI, who of course DID want the evidence.
If you CC get stolen... you will have to FIGHT to get charges removed unless you live in peter pan land where the fairy can fix it for you.
Yea, we'll many of us had more impressive Proof of Concept cars like this 40 years ago.
RCA cars are not new. We even have r/c jetliners.
Not to mention Ardurover, which is about 10,000 times more advanced than this POS which uses a freaking accelerometer for steering, and in use by thousands of people already, and is not only radio controlled using multiple interfaces already (including a phone or tablet if your that stupid).
Nothing about this proof of concept is new. Absolutely nothing. It's not even the first kit for a full sized car to go on sale. Hollywood has been doing this probably longer than these 'developers' have been alive.
Seriously... Putting radio controls in a car and video out is hardly anything new. The movie industry and hobbiests have been doing this with full size cars for my entire life.
Guess what... We've been doing it with freaking a airplanes since at least the 80s where they used it to fly a jumbo jet into a wall to study the crash, might have even been the 70s. It had many cameras feeding all sorts of view points off the unmanned jet.
Slashdot editors need to literally come out of the closet or box they have been living in and get a clue.
Seriously... IF? On slashdot? 99.999% of slashdot users do treat the OS as a religion, complete with ignorance of reality and ignoring facts because they just don't like them.
If CMMI was such a stupid idea, its not what killed your company. Management killed it, that would have only been a small part of it. Your blaming it CMMI shows a distinct lack of understanding how companies work, which goes to show that you're probably not really that experienced, and like wise, probably no where near as good as you think you are.
What also strikes me as funny though, is that in my experience, the people who scream most about how stupid certifications are, are the exact ones you don't want to use. Certification scares people who aren't confident in their abilities... because they really suck at their job.
Every competent developer I've ever met has no personal problem getting any certification asked by their companies or perspective employers. Its just something that you have to do for a job sometimes.
When people get so uptight about certifications that 'don't mean anything', watch out. That person is afraid of a certification that 'means nothing'... what does that say of their abilities? Are you really that scared of not knowing anything at all?
I would fucking kill for software developers to be licensed like an engineering displine, do you realize how much more those of us with a clue would be worth if we could dump all the morons who managed to install a compiler or IDE on their Linux box and suddenly think they are 31337 h4x0rz programmer gods after they managed to run a shell script on their own.
Of course, the problem with that is that any sort of proper certification would weed out 9 out of 10 employed 'developers' instantly.
You're probably a pretty shitty developer for multiple reasons, the easiest to cite is the fact that you think you're a business manager as well when you clearly demonstrated in your post that you have no clue about the complexities of running a business. No one thing kills a business, especially when getting that one thing brings you the potential to get MASSIVE government gigs. Your business was fucked long before CMMI even if you couldn't recognize it.
You need to learn what you don't know, then get back to me about being a qualified developer.
Knowing what you don't know, is FAR more important than what you actually know.
What toolkit doesn't work over the network with X? I've not had a problem running anything over the network. Even the RaspberryPI supports full remote X login...
Have you even tried or are you just talking out your ass?
Silly fanboy. There is no such thing as a Linux 'boxen'. There are VAX boxen, but thats the only kind. Stop using words you don't understand in a pathetic attempt to sound like you know more than you do.
Karma has nothing to do with 'disable advertising'. Posting enough posts that get modded up will do it, but because I've not been acting like a Linux fanboy recently, I've got terrible karma right now... I can post using my login twice a day... no more, but I can still disable ads.
Of course, I just logout and post anyway, but hey, don't pay attention to the details.
Go outside and play, and don't come back in until dark
Thats all it takes, its not even a little bit hard, and parents have been doing it for hundreds of years. It isn't something new that suddenly started happening because of new technology.
Instead you tried to force him to do things he may or may not want to do. Send his ass outside and make HIM figure out how to have fun.
Anyone who thinks clang is a drop in replacement for GCC has very little to no actual development experience. I say that as a llvm user, but to pretend its exactly the same is just stupid. I don't want it to be the exact same, I appreciate the fact that its better.
Different platforms have different input devices, such as mouse and keyboard, gamepad, or touch screen input. How are you going to cope with the vast difference in capability among these?
Only in your mind are these devices so vastly different. I too make a game engine, I currently support 3 basic device types and that handles ever thing on the planet. Mutlitouch includes mice, trackpads, pointer nubs, joysticks are joysticks, and finally 3d positioning devices like Kinect or the Wii controller.
This isn't hard. They aren't really THAT different even though you think they are, and this is why their interfaces to the OS are almost identical as well. Its not like multitouch mice operation dramatically different than a touchpad or a tablet display.
So what do you plan to do should you find another company cracking your game, changing the title screen, and selling it as its own game?
No, you simply don't target shitty platforms like Android and that problem goes away. You target platforms where people are WILLING TO PAY FOR SOFTWARE, not where the normal and socially acceptable standard is to just find some chinese site and essentially steal it in exchange for letting someone in Bejing spy on you.
He isn't targeting ANY of the consoles. Consoles are where assholes live. Console owners are worthless pricks who have retarded restrictions on becoming developers that are designed to keep 'the good ole' boys club' going strong and keeping all new blood out. FUCK 'EM. As many many developers have shown... The iPhone can make you a millionaire if you have a good game, from there, you can get consoles if you want, as many many games have done. Handheld devices from those people come just as easy as the consoles.
Again, outside of slashdot, no game developer really wastes much time on Android, its not that its difficult, thats why it has ports, because its not difficult. No, people don't target Android because it makes no economical sense, even if you're not talking money, but even marketshare and building a name for yourself is pointless on Android due to all the thievery and the fact that the entire user base is a bunch of cheap fucks who aren't willing to pay for much anything, hence... they bought an android device so it would be easy to siphon off stuff for 'free' from (way back to the top of my post) the chinese ripoffs.
It also solves the 2037 problem because time_t is now defined to be 64 bits, even in 32 bit mode. Likewise, in struct timeval, the tv_sec field is 64 bit
What OS ISN'T using a 64bit time_t? Linux really doesn't? Seriously?
But the Intel way of making the same physical hardware cost 50% more (with a simple on/off switch) will continue until ARM Cortex start giving intel some real competition (at least competing with the latest gen core i3).
... at which point ARM manufactures will start doing the same thing as Intel.
You have to be pretty stupid to believe otherwise.
... Yet, I have an app that does just that, and shows me signal strength... and its on the app store...
New app launchers are a stupid idea in a consumer device for the masses. Contrary to what you think, you're silly retarded customized keyboard isn't that great. Consistency is FAR more important than customizability to everyone except people like you who think that customizing their phone is something everyone does.
Its a phone, the rest of us don't give a shit about the crap you do, we just use the phone.
It takes more effort for the vendor to attempt to lock these devices down than it would to leave them open.
Says the guy who has never done any sort of customer support for a commercial product in his life.
No, open devices that get screwed up and returned because the user did something stupid they saw on some website cost far more than you realize. This is where 90% of support costs come from.
... Enabling TRIM tells them which sectors HAD data in them.
So unless you can magically teleport the drive from its location, away from its internal super capacitors designed to ensure unexpected power interruptions aren't a problem.. BEFORE the drive has a chance to act on the trim commands... then MAYBE you can get SOME data.
After the drive gets the TRIM command in its buffer, you're SOL. It will most certainly be deleted before you get to it.
More importantly, if someone is somehow managing to get access to the data about which sectors are being TRIMd.... they've already rooted your machine and have complete control over it, since you know, thats data that only the kernel has access to.
So basically, the comment you probably thought was incredibly clever... is just 100% ignorant of reality.
There is pretty much nothing in your statement that is true. You don't understand how shadow volumes work. You're making up silly scenarios that don't exist for SSDs or HDDs.
... Why choose Linux for a 'next generation router' when there are at least 3 OSes with FAR faster IP stacks?
IF you're picking Linux for your router, you've already shown you're not qualified to be making such a router.
The OS you were looking for was FreeBSD, which is what gets used in high end routers (or at least is the base in which those OSes are derived from). Juniper, F5, all the high end gear is FBSD, not Linux.

... What market are you selling in?
Traditionally, if you're reselling it, you get a discount due to quantity of purchases you make over what you would make by your self.
Drugs are too easy to come by for the price to go up as quantity increases.

The people that a site loses because they won't verify their Facebook account are people that weren't of any value to them in the first place.
You were never going to click an ad on their site and buy something so they really could give two shits what you do and how quickly you leave.
The problem isn't that HP is losing people... the problem is that the people they are losing don't realize no one wants them anyway.
For someplace like HP, you are WAY more effort than you are worth.
