There are rumors Bjarne Stroustrup will lead the design decisions for Yahoo! after Marissa Mayer was impressed by the cover of the 3th and 4th edition of The C++ Programming Language book.

Good thing we can construct sentences to express ourselves!

Sadistic?

Also never say "we will move from X to PostgreSQL later on" where X is something like SQLite or MySQL. It will NEVER happen.

Or just use Ekiga (GnomeMeeting) http://www.ekiga.org/

Why does Google have people working on finding security issues in Microsoft Windows?

If you truly understand the OpenGL programmable pipeline you understand graphics programming in general and should have to spend little time picking up a new API. Just like how you should be able to learn a new programming language with ease if you have enough experience.

From Eurogamer.net:

Low-level access and the "wrapper" graphics API

In terms of rendering, there was some interesting news.

Norden pointed out one of the principal weaknesses of DirectX 11 and OpenGL - they need to service a vast array of different hardware. The advantage of PlayStation 4 is that it's a fixed hardware platform, meaning that the specifics of the tech can be addressed directly. (It's worth pointing out at this point that the next-gen Xbox has hardware-specific extensions on top of the standard DX11 API.)

"We can significantly enhance performance by bypassing a lot of the artificial DirectX limitations and bottlenecks that are imposed so DirectX can work across a wide range of hardware," he revealed.

The development environment is designed to be flexible enough to get code up and running quickly, but offering the option for the more adventurous developers to get more out of the platform. To that end, PlayStation 4 has two rendering APIs.

"One of them is the absolute low-level API, you're talking directly to the hardware. It's used to draw the static RAM buffers and feed them directly to the GPU," Norden shared. "It's much, much lower level than you're used to with DirectX or OpenGL but it's not quite at the driver level. It's very similar if you've programmed PS3 or PS Vita, very similar to those graphics libraries."

But on top of that Sony is also providing what it terms a "wrapper API" that more closely resembles the standard PC rendering APIs.

"The key is that it doesn't sacrifice the efficiency of the low-level API. It's actually a wrapper on top of the low-level API that does a lot of the mundane tasks that you don't want to have to do over and over."

The cool thing about the wrapper API is that while its task is to simplify development, Sony actually provides the source code for it so if there's anything that developers don't get on with, they can adapt it themselves to better suit their project.

I agree, this is more about quality control which Sony has been enforcing since PS3 as well, which funny enough was also called indie unfriendly for not having a similar system like the XBLA/XBLIG!

tl;dr:

Sony PS4 has a better CPU and GPU

There is a lot of stroke inducing legacy PHP code out there in the wild. A lot of people have had a really bad experience working on projects that used PHP. The ease of entry allowed flocks of inexperienced software developers to grow PHP projects like mushrooms throughout the world.

I think it's largely bad rep due to the ease of misuse and dodgy frameworks.

I don't get this whole anti-Monsanto movement.. who is behind it?

But what does leanstack use? ;)

Back in 2008 Nintendo also had an amusing Wario Youtube channel. I can't find the live version anymore but here is a video of how it went down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSU-z-t9Ku4

* Yes - but actually no, we are still in denial.

I think we can all start a Dilbert style comic to highlight weekly (if not daily) bizarre happenings @ the office.

Did Google just patent pieces of HTML? Hilarious!

Yahoo.com is the 4th most visited web page in the world just behind Google, Facebook and YouTube.

Because not white enough.

So basically you are putting up an act when you post under your real name?

Tel Aviv scores fairly high in the funding and support index but poor on the performance and trendsetter index. Kind of proves the point that $ isn't all it takes but sure helps you become visible.

Except that Eurovision has as much to do with the European Union as the UEFA champions league (read: none).

Ice cubes in your beer.

Enjoy!

I'm using Eclipse (Juno Service Release 2) for vanilla Java development and it doesn't even take a quarter of a second to switch between tabs and various perspectives. I'm using a first gen i3 with 4GB of RAM. Maybe there is something else wrong with your Eclipse setup?

The compiled version might be different. A solution would be to allow everyone to run a local copy of the president which gets the same data-feed so it would respond the same in all instances. The problem is of course that a president deals with confidential information which you don't want to just broadcast over a network for anyone to see.

Dear Kyle Wagner,

Stop using flat design if you have no sense of which colors compliment each other. The dark saturated colors in the top image made me puke in my mouth.

This project was haunted from the get-go.

It might be a call from 1998 but the halloween documents are real. You are really naive or just stupid if you think these kind of operations arn't being executed till this day.

Google glass only supports WiFi and Bluetooth. It doesn't have 3g/4g support. It's useless by design without a smartphone to facilitate a connection.

doesn't matter, most artists have come to the conclusion that live concerts is where the money is at and are touring much more frequently.
