This one is quite good too: http://gdcvault.com/play/1021926/Destiny-s-Multithreaded-Ren...

Since the demo now uses GLFW it could call glfwGetTime, which uses clock_gettime where available.

xkcd 927.

I guess it's too much work to start a REPL.

On a day like this, compare the entire key.

Proper 16-bit support is the big thing for the next release and it's significantly less slow since it got multithreading support in 2.8. Still slower than Photoshop, though.

Pretty much. With Classic Shell I finally have the perfect start menu; a combination of 95, 98, XP and custom traits. I doubt anything Microsoft does will surpass it.

I wish more people understood this.

Games generally use far less of it than a normal GUI application would.

This is why I like having compilers.

Yes, this. I'm not angry over the removal of compact list mode from Nautilus because of "loss of freedom", but because it's the mode I find superior to all other view modes.

...except Iron Man was created eight years before he was born.

Cool, it worked. Thank you!

I really don't like the way Vimperator works nowadays. It's why I moved to Pentadactyl.

Lots of nice changes, but Pentadactyl won't work with it. If you're using that, you may want to wait a few days.

vi != nvi != Vim

Try using heirloom vi or Solaris vi sometime. Even nvi adds a lot of convenience.

Well, there goes that service.

It has worked for me on every system I've ever had, most of which have been laptops. Nowadays, I use Ubuntu, and nearly everything works out of the box on every system I have. Currently, the only issue is the backlight on a very new gaming laptop. I had to download and compile a third-party kernel module for that, which while not a big hassle for me is clearly unacceptable from a usability perspective.

I suggest that some of the problems people are having stem from using distros that either don't care about or have the resources to support desktop use.

tig was the reason I moved from monotone to Git.

It wouldn't let me add accounts with unencrypted transports, so I can't evaluate this program. The 'Continue' button just led back to the account setup dialogue.

The Pirate Bay people didn't create the Pirate Party. There isn't a lot of overlap between the (publicly known admins of) the Pirate Bay, the (no longer existing) Pirate Bureau that gave rise to it and the Pirate Party. This is true both in terms of people, and also frankly terms of politics, beyond the basic realisation that the status quo is untenable.

SRS was the missing piece for me when I tried setting up SPF the last time. I'll talk to my ISP about this.

Very good advice. Even when I use a debugger or print statements to locate and fix the bug, I sit down afterwards and make sure I understand why the bug occurred and why the fix is correct.

Sweden doesn't have the best of records wrt extraditions in cases where the US has an interest.

Yay! This I have been waiting for.

nVidias argument for not opening up the Linux driver is that it shares a lot of code with the Windows driver. I'm not saying that this argument makes sense, but it's the one they use.

Thank you for expanding the list of games I should never buy.

His reviews are what got me interested enough to Switch back in 2002.

I always carry at least one towel in my backpack. It has indeed proven to be massively useful over the years.
