My only intent was to present "the other side" of what people see in this, never to prove that you were "wrong" or "irrational" just for disagreeing with others. You're absolutely free to not like this. Pretty much all the concerns you rais

The problem with your original comment[1] is that many people feel it has potential you're not only not giving it credit for, but are actively trying to sabotage its chances of success. The crux of your comments are two-fold: (1) if OUYA su

I'm not an OpenGL expert, but my understanding is that the fixed function pipeline (FFP) is like a set of big, generic shaders and state that everybody had to go through to actually do the work of displaying 3D graphics. You could write sha

An open memo to Hacker News: Stories like this (e.g. the GitHub and AirBnB incidents) tend to draw out this ugly, mob-like attitude from Hacker News, and I'm sure none of us want to see it happen again. Please, everybody, remember to be civ

Well that's a shame, since it's one of the most easily navigated, comprehensive yet concise HTML and CSS guide and reference sites I've ever used. I come back to it time and time again, and I can't say I've ever shared your sentiments.

For future reference, you can list all of the files associated with a package using this: dpkg-query --listfiles package-name Or use Synaptic's 'Installed Files' tab in the package detail dialog.

My habit is to use 'ls' to confirm what I'm deleting, then pressing up and replacing 'ls' with 'rm'.

One of the things I like about Readability is that space bar scrolling puts a blip on the side where my eyes can see where I should continue reading. I've never used the space bar to scroll elsewhere because the behaviour's too inconsistent

I dislike the new layout mostly because it wastes a lot of vertical space, particularly the fixed top part. Here's the user style I use to neutralise it: #top-bar { height: auto; } #search { padding: 8px 0; } #lhn-add-subscrip

The wavefront-expansion pathing algorithm described in the paper is very similar to the approach in the roguelike game Brogue [1], whose author refers to as using "Dijkstra maps". The game uses it for many purposes, such as seeking the play

I totally agree. Unity in particular feels like alpha quality software. I like the idea of a sleek, modern, composited desktop, but Unity isn't there yet. Releasing early and often is good. Pushing that software on people who didn't choose

Stylish themes are often out of date and/or completely change the layout of the site when all I really want is a small tweak here or there.

Beware of selection bias. I saw these submissions when they were posted, but voted in neither, because I didn't mind the status quo of no points, and I'm wary of meta-discussion. If I had felt differently, I'd definitely have voted.

Forgive me for being dense, but why not choose the 'classic desktop' option at login, or 'sudo apt-get install gnome-panel' if it stops coming by default? Is it a clash of ideology that caused you to jump ship? Because I find it hard to bel

It's easy to lash Sam Odio, but doing so robs us of some really interesting questions and answers. First, why was the idea so popular to begin with? Collective funds aren't new, nor is using Twitter as an API for tracking things in the real

The correct title for this is "Lua/APR: Apache Portable Runtime binding for Lua". I'm pointing this out because I'm tired of seeing submission titles used to make a point instead of describing what's behind the link. This mightn't be a big

Strange. For me, Firefox has unresponsive scrolling with background loading, but Chrome doesn't, which is a big reason I use the latter nowadays.

Digging around, I found that the author used the JSON gem, relying on to_json taking an optional generator arg. But, yajl-ruby and ActiveSupport define to_json themselves without that, leading to breakage. Those, and the fix for his project

The main point here seems to be that you can make separate windows with SDL 1.3 and attach OpenGL contexts to them, versus SDL 1.2's approach of single-window-single-OpenGL-context. As far as OpenGL tutorials go, I recommend "An intro to mo

It's the idea that counts, not the language. The number of OpenGL function calls balloons very quickly when using immediate mode. For example, I recently prototyped a simple 16x16 tile demo over an 800x600 screen. In immediate mode, that's
