• BI Beginner: Why to Use Excel 2013 Now

  - by John Paul Cook

  Most corporations and many individuals are slow to adopt new versions of Microsoft Office, particularly if the upgrade to the previous version was very recent. Excel 2013 is a special case and offers significant productivity enhancements. If you do business intelligence work or otherwise make your living with Excel, adding (notice I didn’t say upgrading to) Excel 2013 now makes a lot of sense. The Power View feature in Excel 2013 is a completely sufficient reason to add Excel 2013. It has to be enabled,...(read more)

• Attending my first software conference - any tips before I go? [closed]

  - by Paul Weber

  My nice employer allowed me to visit a software conference in June (International PHP Conference, for those who care). Wanting to make the most of it, I would ask the more experienced conference goers in here to give me some tips on what I could do to maximize my learning experience on the conference, and to reduce beginner mistakes. Sorry that this question is a little ambiguous, but I think it's best to keep it a little bit more open, so I can get a wide range of Ideas, and it will be of more use to further people seeking for an answer.

• Why isn't my other two constant buffers being updated to the shader?

  - by Paul Ske

  I posted previously before about my two dynamic buffers not being dynamically updating the constant shader. The tessellation buffer isn't working because I have to manually update the tessellation factor inside the hull shader. I believe the camera position isn't updating either because when I perform distance adaptation the far edges are more tessellated then the what's truly in front of the camera. I have all the buffers set to dynamic. Inside the render loop I have them set as: ID3D11Buffer *multiBuffers[3]; devcon->VSSetConstantBuffers(0,3,multiBuffers); ... devcon->DSSetConstantBuffers(0,3,multiBuffers); I only got that from a directX Sample. Inside the shader file I have the three cbuffer structs. cbuffer ConstantBuffer { float4x4 WorldMatrix; float4x4 viewMatrix; float4x4 projectionMatrix; float4x4 modelWorldMatrix; // the rotation matrix float3 lightvec; // the light's vector float4 lightcol; // the light's color float4 ambientcol; // the ambient light's color bool isSelected; } cbuffer cameraBuffer { float3 cameraDirection; float padding; } cbuffer TessellationBuffer { float tessellationAmount; float3 padding2; } Am I missing something or would anyone know why wouldn't my buffers update to the shader file?

• Evoluent Vertical Mouse - Re-mapping Buttons?

  - by Paul

  I have the Evoluent Vertical Mouse at work and at home. One is wired, the other wireless. Ubuntu maps their buttons differently and it makes me crazy when I switch locations. I use 12.10, but same has applied to every Ubuntu version since 9.10. The wired mouse is as desired: top finger button is left-click, scroll wheel is middle click and scroll, middle finger button is a right-click. On the wireless version, bottom finger button is mapped to right-click and the middle finger button is center-click. I tried tinkering with these instructions, but wound up unable to boot to GUI... had to delete the .conf file to recover: http://denishaine.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/evoluent-mouse-with-ubuntu-11-04-and-11-10/ Help?

• Random Vector within a cone

  - by Paul

  I'm looking to create a random vector within a cone given the radius (base). It feels like I've been traversing through many pages on the internet and still I'm no further forward to getting an answer. I was thinking I could get a point within the base of the cone and have it point towards the apex (then just use the inverse of that for my animation) but this seems like an incredibly long winded approach.

• Branding Changes for Java EE6

  - by Paul Sorensen

  Hi Everyone, As we move the Java EE6 exams from beta to production, you may notice that we have made a slight change in the branding. Instead of being branded Oracle Certified Professional (OCP), these new credentials are now branded Oracle Certified Expert (OCE). One area where we use the Expert brand is for credentials where the technology is advanced or broader than the path based credential requires. Some are high-end add-on certifications, and others have significant additional technological breadth. In these cases, the Expert brand is an indication that someone is tested in more advanced or in-depth skills - beyond the traditional path-based certification. A few examples are RAC Expert for DBAs, or SQL Expert - also for DBAs. Because (1) all of the Java EE6 credentials require that candidates become certified first in Java SE6, and (2) many people earn more than one Java EE credential, we felt that the Expert branding would be more appropriate. Thanks,

• Problems after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04

  - by Paul D

  I upgraded to 12.04.1 from 10.04 recently and am running the Gnome Classic (no effects) desktop. I spent a couple of days tweaking the appearance and behaviour but there are two issues that I can't resolve. The mouse cursor frequently disappears, especially when scrolling through web pages or hovering over links/icons with tooltips. Moving the mouse brings the pointer back but it vanishes again almost immediately. Note I don't have unclutter or Parallels installed. The screen no longer fades to black when left idle for too long - it just cuts out. Bad news when watching content online. Any tips greatly appreciated. Cheers...

• Les meilleurs programmeurs sont-ils ceux qui disent connaître C ++ ? Pas si sûr...

  Les meilleurs programmeurs sont-ils ceux qui disent connaître C ++ ? Pas si sûr... L'une des particularité de C++, est que les programmeurs travaillant avec ce langage se divisent en deux catégories. Ces deux groupes s'opposent frontalement et se considèrent chacun comme le seul ayant raison. Dans le premier, on trouve les développeurs qui viennent de C, ou d'autres qui pensent maitriser C++ très rapidement. Ce genre d'invidu vous dira "je connais C++". Mentent-ils ? Ce langage peut être vu comme l'ascension d'une montagne. Il y a ceux qui sont en bas et se croient déjà au sommet, et ceux qui onen ont déjà passé le col. Ceux-là souffrent. C'est la deuxième catégorie de programmeurs : ceux qui en ont déjà ...

• Windows 8 : tout savoir sur le compte utilisateur connecté et ses différences avec un compte Windows classique

  Windows 8 : tout savoir sur le nouveau compte utilisateur connecté Et ses différences avec un compte Windows classique Le grand public risque d'être un peu perdu en lançant Windows 8 pour la première fois. Pas tellement avec la nouvelle interface (ex-Metro) qui sert de menu « Démarrer » (même si elle déroute un peu au début). Mais parce qu'avec le nouveau système de Microsoft, le "Cloud" devient une réalité plus que concrète. Dès le lancement, le système demande en effet de choisir entre un compte local ? à l'ancienne ? et un compte connecté. Nous ne reviendront pas sur le premier choix - un compte classique comme dans Windows 7, Vista et XP. ...

• Rotate a vector relative to itself

  - by Paul Manta

  I have a plane defined by transform.forward and transform.right, with 0 degrees corresponding to the forward vector and positive 90 degrees to the right vector. How can I create a third vector rotated in this plane. A rotation of 0 degrees would mean the vector is identical to transform.forward, a rotation of 30 degrees would mean it forms a 30 degree angle with the forward vector. In other words, I want to rotate the forward vector relative to itself, in the plane it defines with the right vector.

• Mac OS X : Mountain Lion disponible le mois prochain avec la dictée intégrée, les notifications et encore plus d'iCloud

  Mac OS X : Mountain Lion disponible le mois prochain avec la dictée intégrée, les notifications et beaucoup d'iCloud Le WWDC d'Apple est traditionnellement riche en annonces. Cette année, en plus d'iOS 6, la société a également présenté les améliorations en cours pour son prochain OS desktop (alias « Mountain Lion »). Sur les 200 listées par Craig Federighi, c'est avant tout iCloud qui a été mis en avant. La plateforme de stockage et de synchronisation hébergée prendra en charge Messages, Notes, Rappels ou Documents. iCloud synchronisera également les onglets de Safari (unifiant ainsi le surf entre Mac et iOS) et le Game Center (qui débarque sur bureau donc).

• Google, Microsoft et Facebook sont-ils comparables ? Ou bien ces entreprises sont-elles trop uniques en leur genre ?

  Google, Microsoft et Facebook sont-ils comparables ? Ou bien ces entreprises sont-elles trop uniques en leur genre ? Don Dodge, un passionné d'économie numérique travaillant chez Google et ayant travaillé pour Microsoft, se demande si trois grandes firmes de l'IT peuvent être comparables. En effet, Microsoft, Google et Facebook sont toutes trois très importantes, pour ne pas dire colossales, et elles sont toutes apparues comme innovantes à leur création. A leurs débuts, elles étaient nettement moins imposantes et les investisseurs hésitaient même à y investir. C'est un peu le cas de Facebook aujourd'hui, la firme surévaluée à outrance. Tous en veulent leur part, mais peu sont sûr de ce que cela va leur rapporter.

• Scammers on the lose pretending to be Microsoft

  - by John Paul Cook

  Minutes ago I received a phone call that the caller ID listed as “Out of area”, which I knew was a bad sign. It was difficult to understand the caller because of his very thick accent. He told me that he was from Microsoft and that my computer was throwing a large number of errors and he was calling to help me. He directed me to use Windows R to open a run dialog box, type eventvwr and then look at the Event Viewer. Within Event Viewer, he instructed me to open Custom Views and then open Administrative...(read more)

• Can manager classes be a sign of bad architecture?

  - by Paul

  Lately I've begun to think that having lots of manager classes in your design is a bad thing. The idea hasn't matured enough for me to make a compelling argument, but here's a few general points: I found it's a lot harder for me to understand systems that rely heavily on "managers". This is because, in addition to the actual program components, you also have to understand how and why the manager is used. Managers, a lot of the time, seem to be used to alleviate a problem with the design, like when the programmer couldn't find a way to make the program Just WorkTM and had to rely on manager classes to make everything operate correctly. Of course, mangers can be good. An obvious example is an EventManager, one of my all time favorite constructs. :P My point is that managers seem to be overused a lot of the time, and for no good reason other than mask a problem with the program architecture. Are manager classes really a sign of bad architecture?

• Cannot upgrade or install 12.04 - Black screen

  - by Paul

  An update from 11.10 to 12.04 failed because of a boot into black screen (Nvidia graphics card) after selecting normal boot in Grub (recovery console was available though). I then wiped the whole partition (deleting all proprietary drivers) and tried a fresh install, but could not run the installation cd because it was booting straight into a black screen again. Now I reinstalled 11.10 (and installed proprietary Nvidia driver version 173), and would like to ask 2 questions: 1 - Is there a proven method to fix this problem from the recovery console, so that I can safely try upgrading again (without much knowledge of Ubuntu)? 2 - Is there a website which I could check for updated Nvidia drivers packaged into the upgrade, so that I can safely upgrade without running into a black screen some time later on?

• Google multiplie les APIs pour les développeurs : du GPS pour Android à la Business Intelligence pou

  Google multiplie les APIs pour les développeurs Du GPS pour Android à la Business Intelligence pour tous Oui, Google a frappé un grand coup lors de son traditionnel Google I/O. Cela ne veut pas dire que Google est le « meilleur » ou que la concurrence n'existe pas, mais une chose est sûre, le nombre des annonces majeurs lors de l'évènement à marqué les esprits (cf. la rubrique "Lire aussi", ci-dessous). Un point que nous n'avons pas encore abordé est celui de la multiplication des APIs que Google a mis à la disposition des développeurs webs et/ou mobiles.

• How to prioritize related game entity components?

  - by Paul Manta

  I want to make a game where you have to run over a bunch of zombies with your car. When moving around, the zombies have a few things to take into consideration: When there's no player around they might just roam about randomly. And even when some other component dictates a specific direction, they should wobble to the left and right randomly (like drunk people). This implies a small, random, deviation in their movement. They should avoid static obstacles. When they see they are headed towards a wall, they should reorient themselves. They should avoid the car. They should try to predict where the car will be based on its velocity and try to move out of the way. When they can, they should try to get near the player. All these types of decisions they have to do seem like they should be implemented in different components. But how should I manage them? How can I give different components different weights that reflect the importance of each decision (in a given situation)? I would need some other component that acts as a manager, but do you have any tips on how I should implement it? Or maybe there's a better solution?...

• Windows Not Sleeping All Night

Network adapter Power Management tab. That didn’t solve the problem. I included the screen capture in Figure 1 because it could be part of the solution for someone else.
