Your statistics suck. Nothing talking about what caused the traffic-related death. Drunk fucks? Inattentive idiots on cell phones? Intentional suicide? Too busy focusing on the radio dial than the road? None of your point has any relevance without that additional information.
"So your night vision isn't getting fucked with by the head lights of oncoming cars?"
Less so than when you go throwing more photons at your eyes from inside the windshield, taking detail away from what's outside the windshield, and blocking your vision because you're trying to see shit outside your windshield through a damned reflected projection coming from inside your windshield.
"but that's probably because sodium vapor lights are efficient and reliable"
*LAAAAAUGH* Efficient in ONE COLOR with horrible color and detail reproduction.
" The move to LED street lighting is going to see a lot more blue light at night (white LED's being a blue LED with yellow phosphor)"
You're trying to talk to someone that does LEDs for a living about LEDs?
We've got new junction tech that allows a single substrate to produce all wavelengths, and is tunable in-manufacturing. Blue with a shit phosphor isn't going to be around much longer.
"No, there is substantial debate on this subject still."
From IDIOTS. The USAF has already conducted test after test after test. For night conditions, a red HUD causes the least amount of interference. We also know exactly why this is, it is a simple matter of chemistry.
"Get a car with good headlights, use them."
That won't make a difference if your green or blue HUD is overcoming the average levels of light coming through your windshield - it will effectively wash out anything past the HUD. Similar to a dirty windshield in application.
Not even. Closest one to any sort of compliance is Chrome, which is a multi-process steaming hunk of garbage. It can do HTML5 and WebGL properly.
FireFox? Trying to log into my in-development game using the web interface, (again, pure HTML5 and WebGL) it fucking horks. What's sad is that IE8 works better for my web game than the latest version of FireFox.
"some developers distrust its use in larger projects because (some say) it ultimately leads to breakage-prone code that's harder to maintain."
Most likely because they write shit bloated code in the first place.
Meanwhile, jQuery + SQLite + MariaDB connector, I've got my own personal intelligent porn recommendation/scraper/indexer site that runs through a few million images and renders my requested search results in under a tenth of a second.
So odds are, it's those developers talking about breakage-prone code that are the crap devs, anyways.
You do not need to be driving. You do not need HUDs to tell you that the red sign up ahead is a stop sign. Nor do you need some accident early-warning system - if you WATCHED THE FUCKING ROAD you'd likely see the accident scene before getting to it (some locations/obstructions of scenery may give varying results.)
And wait for your night vision to get completely turned to ass when they start introducing these HUDs in different colors as a fashion statement. Anything other than red - you're much more likely to crash at night because your night vision is being fucked with.
HUDs MAKE ZERO SENSE IN TYPICAL CIVILIAN APPLICATIONS.
"On a very closely related thought this same sort of idea can be used to translate software so that what ran on older legacy platforms or incompatible platforms can automatically be able to run on newer hardware"
Transpilers have existed for ages.
" We need this in a big way."
There's a reason transpilers aren't in use today despite existing - I'll leave that up to you and some deeper critical thinking than what you currently display.
Yea? Several programs I've written do exactly that. There are game dev platforms that can put everything, database included, inside the executable upon compiling.
Ever made a self-extracting.EXE file? If you did it on a piece of software with a database attached - THAT DATABASE IS STORED IN THE EXECUTABLE.
"How could this possible be better than using git and having a sane version history."
For starters, we have really good collaboration. Someone could be writing code, someone else notices fucked indentation or syntax, an can fix it on the fly while explaining what's going on.
"And if you are what possible advantage is there for everyone logging into one system - and you being local"
Most of my devs are in other countries. Waiting for everyone to do their thing, submit, and have to dig through shit to see what does and does not work eats too much time. Time zones are a fucker like that. To boot, my system is the server system, so having me be local and able to test live is what makes things run smoothly.
The only one piece of documentation we need is the design documentation. Everything else is a waste of fucking time, especially when a new client upgrade could force us to re-write half the code base in the first place (like last night's upgrade forced us to have to scrap and re-write half of the initial framework.) As long as we have that design documentation, if shit changes, we still know what needs to be done and can do it, instead of having to go looking back through code and go "Okay, here can we make changes here?" That's sloppy as shit and leads to security problems.
1. All programming, compiling, testing, and debugging happens on one system.
2. Everyone logs into that system (I remain local at that system) and we all start up a voice conference.
3. Everyone is able to write up code, sling it straight to me where I can immediately compile and test, and everyone gets to see the results and hear my experiences with the software as it runs.
I'm currently working on a little 2D version of SecondLife. Pair programming sucks. Mob moved us from code updates every week and shit progress to multiple updates per day and much much better progress.
I've had it with assholes who feel the need to announce they're ignoring someone and then never giving them a chance to respond. As if they UTTERLY FUCKING FAILED learning how to handle a conversation.
I've had it with 7-digit IDIOTS like you for decades. You don't see me ignoring your ass and then crying about ignoring you, like a little bitch.
But bear in mind, I could write that plugin, and slashdot would be all the better without crybaby fucks like yourself.
Sit the fuck down and act like an adult, or get treated like a child by the community. Got it?
Microsoft still needs to go fuck themselves. They provide drivers that fuck people over on hardware usability. Making hardware manufacturers to jump through all this shit to get some shit logo is completely fucking stupid, and leads to shit like this happening.
But you seem too eager to leap to try to correct someone to even fully think about what was said and what it implies.
"Sign in to the dashboard with your Microsoft account,"
No, go fuck yourself. Give me control over my updates/drivers inside the OS and don't make me sign up for your fucking spam in order to have a WORKING operating system.
3. Tell Microsoft to quit forcing THEIR drivers on hardware. Trying to get IGPs to install is a pain in the ass. Default WDDM drivers for Vista/7 on an Intel 945GM IGP do not provide OpenGL support, and would not let me instal the actual Intel drivers w/OpenGL support citing "Microsoft's drivers are newer."

Not even. Closest one to any sort of compliance is Chrome, which is a multi-process steaming hunk of garbage. It can do HTML5 and WebGL properly.
FireFox? Trying to log into my in-development game using the web interface, (again, pure HTML5 and WebGL) it fucking horks. What's sad is that IE8 works better for my web game than the latest version of FireFox.
Opera? Give me a fucking break.

Avira sucks.
Common sense with yearly upgrades.
Haven't been compromised since Win2K/BLASTER days.
Meanwhile, I can force-uninstall Avira, because its own protection mechanisms are ABSOLUTE ASS.
You're the shill. Take Avira's dick out of your mouth for a minute. Even NOD32 kicks the shit out of Avira.

Keep that shit in the military where it belongs.
Apparently since the mods have zero critical thinking ability, I'll just have to answer.
We have EMULATORS.
Transpilers are FUCKING WORTHLESS in the face of emulation.

-1 for not knowing marine batteries mean for marine vessels - you know - REGULAR BOATS that would be in port at a MARINA.
I'm not going to say that I make sense. I'm just parroting my personal experiences in managing and coding various projects.
It only makes sense to those that are not afraid to admit that they are wrong and have encountered this same problem of which I speak.
I thank you for the praise, however! It is rare I see MOB programming get any credit of any sort.
It has its base here. It is not an American company.
If Microsoft has a base in Ireland, does it suddenly become an Irish company?
Your logic fails very hard. Try again, JIDF shill.

Well, what else would you call JETS of air?
"Mobs don't really have a place in intellectual endeavours, and programming is one of those."
Programing isn't an intellectual endeavor in the first place. It's MATH, shit you should know once your ass gets out of high school.
Optimization is an intellectual endeavor. And at that point, it's best to have *ONE* person doing that.
However, I practice a different form.
1. All programming, compiling, testing, and debugging happens on one system.
2. Everyone logs into that system (I remain local at that system) and we all start up a voice conference.
3. Everyone is able to write up code, sling it straight to me where I can immediately compile and test, and everyone gets to see the results and hear my experiences with the software as it runs.

If you cannot read and comprehend simple stuff, you do not belong here.
No, it is an Isreali company. It only moved to California.
Who's embarrassing themselves, here?
I know it's for developers.
Microsoft still needs to go fuck themselves. They provide drivers that fuck people over on hardware usability. Making hardware manufacturers to jump through all this shit to get some shit logo is completely fucking stupid, and leads to shit like this happening.
But you seem too eager to leap to try to correct someone to even fully think about what was said and what it implies.
So you go fuck yourself, too.
Actually, OpenGL 1.5 with some bare-ass support for OpenGLES, as shown in Zandronum or Quake 3 console on loading.
"XP-64 had poor drivers support for common off the shelf hardware"
Bullshit, because XP-64 supported 2K3 drivers, which had plenty of driver support for COTS hardware.
"Sign in to the dashboard with your Microsoft account,"
No, go fuck yourself. Give me control over my updates/drivers inside the OS and don't make me sign up for your fucking spam in order to have a WORKING operating system.
You're missing the third option.
3. Tell Microsoft to quit forcing THEIR drivers on hardware. Trying to get IGPs to install is a pain in the ass. Default WDDM drivers for Vista/7 on an Intel 945GM IGP do not provide OpenGL support, and would not let me instal the actual Intel drivers w/OpenGL support citing "Microsoft's drivers are newer."
