• How to give parallax backgrounds more depth

  - by user28015

  I have 3 tiled images of some sort of galaxy/space in the background of a 2D Game: The first one has an alpha of 100%, the second an alpha of 80% and the last one has an alpha of 60%. I scroll the the one in the background slower than the other ones of course. classic parallax. In the foreground I have some particles flying towards the player to simulate some dust / stars flying by. (I know that stars don't fly by, but I think we all have seen this in a lot of games). But I can't quite achieve the depth effect I am looking for. I want it to look "deeper". I did read something about using blending modes for the backgrounds, but that would require to render them as objects right? So the question is: What is a good technique to do a scrolling parallax background in GameMaker?

• Connection timed out when connecting to a website (ubuntu only)

  - by S.C.

  I've been struggling with these problem for months. It happens randomly and it happens on Ubuntu only (12.04). It's about my hosted company website. Some facts: I can ping it I can traceroute it I can dig it I can make a nslookup But whenever I try to open it in Chrome it won't open. I also tried using polipo but got same connection time out issue. I'm connected through a LAN network and I'm experiencing no problem with any other website. Is there a more accurate debugging technique I'm missing other than pinging/tracerouting, etc.?

• Will Google penalize my website if I hide the H1 tag?

  - by mickburkejnr

  I've read an article today where the author stated that if you put keywords on to your page but then hide them with CSS, Google will penalize your site. This make sense. This got me thinking though about my own technique when I build a website. If for example when I build a website and the logo contains the name of the website, I tend to put the name of the website in a H1 tag and then hide this tag. I don't know why I do it, I've always done it. I also include any text held in an image in the alt attribute of the img tag. But because I am hiding the H1 tag, does this leave me open to Google penalizing the website because I've hidden this one tag?

• Apress Deal of the Day - 22/Feb/2010 - Entity Framework 4.0 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach

  - by TATWORTH

  Todays $10 deal from Apress at  http://www.apress.com/info/dailydeal is "Entity Framework 4.0 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach" Whilst I am still wary of using the Entity framework and I would caution against its use for updates in financial systems, unless you use a technique such as you can find on pages 509-512 of this book. This book is very impressive as I found the answer to this in about 2 minutes from the time I downloaded the e-book. Entity Framework 4.0 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach With this book, you will learn the core concepts of Entity Framework through a broad range of clear and concise solutions to everyday data access tasks. Armed with this experience, you will be ready to dive deep into Entity Framework, experiment with new approaches, and develop ways to solve even the most difficult data access challenges. $49.99 | Published May 2010 | Larry Tenny

• What is the name of this array transformation?

  - by Brandon Tilley

  Start with an array of arrays; in this case, they are different lengths in order to demonstrate the technique, but they do not have to be. [[1,2,3,4], [5,6,7], [8,9,10], [11,12,13,14,15]] At the other end of the transformation, you have an array of arrays where the first array contains the first element from each of the original arrays, the second array contains the second element from each of the original arrays, and so on. [[1,5,8,11], [2,6,9,12], [3,7,10,13], [4,14], [15]] Is there a mathematical or CS term for this operation?

• Career in Artificial Intelligence [closed]

  - by Rohit S

  AI has many branches and seems like it has a bigger scope. I have seen a tutorial of Neural Networks and I'm a little confused whether Neural Networks is another branch of AI or it is a technique which is being used in branches of AI. I am mainly interested in creating software like Neural Networks that can be trained for doing a task. I like to make things automated with programming languages. So can I start with Neural Networks? And also a very important matter: what will be the scope of a job in future and in which companies?

• Assigning a colour to imorted obj. files that are being used as default material

  - by Salino

  I am having a problem with assigning a colour to the different meshes that I have on one object. The technique that I have used is the first approach on this site. Is it possible to export a simulation (animation) from Blender to Unity? So what I would like to do is the following. I have about 107 meshes that are different frames from my shape key animation of my blender model. What I would like to have is that the first mesh will be bright green and up to the 40th mesh the colour turns to be white /greyish... the best would be if I could assign every mesh by hand a colour, however they are all default materials. And if I assign the object a colour, the whole "animation" is going to be in that colour

• GPG and libpcap help

  - by Johnq

  I was trying to install the newest version of libpcap (as the version in the repositories doesn't seem current) and ran into the following problem. I copied the tcpdump-workers.asc text from the tcpdump website (which hosts libpcap as well) and imported the key to my keyring using gpg --import tcpdump-workers.asc. That when all well and fine but when I tried to verify the libpcap-1.4.0.tar.gz file against the key with gpg --verify, I ended up getting the message that unexpected data. was found. I am wondering if anyone else has run into this problem as the ancient technique of googling my problem has done little to answer my question.

• How to hide process arguments from other users?

  - by poolie

  A while ago, I used to use the grsecurity kernel patches, which had an option to hide process arguments from other non-root users. Basically this just made /proc/*/cmdline be mode 0600, and ps handles that properly by showing that the process exists but not its arguments. This is kind of nice if someone on a multiuser machine is running say vi christmas-presents.txt, to use the canonical example. Is there any supported way to do this in Ubuntu, other than by installing a new kernel? (I'm familiar with the technique that lets individual programs alter their argv, but most programs don't do that and anyhow it is racy. This stackoverflow user seems to be asking the same question, but actually just seems very confused.)

• Wordpress Multisite (Subfolders) - Google Analytics Tracking

  - by mmundiff

  I have a Wordpress multisite subfolder instance that I would like to track via Google Analytics. I guess optimally this would be a plugin which I could track each site in two places The Main Tracking Code which totals all traffic from the Multisite instance The Individual Site tracking code to see how each site specifically is doing. I think this plugin would have worked for me if I had a subdomain multisite instance: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-multisite-async/installation/ I know I can manually place the dual tracking code (http://www.markinns.com/articles/full/adding_two_google_analytics_accounts_to_one_page) but that would involve editing a theme and I have multiple sites using TwentyEleven template. I don't think I can edit the theme and not have it wreak havoc on the rest of the sites using TwentyEleven. So has anyone done this? Is there a a technique I'm missing? Is there a plugin available to do this in Multisite Subfolder installations? Is there a way to manually insert GA codes into themes which are used by multiple sites? Any insight is appreciated.

• Is it necessary to understand what's happening at the hardware level to be a good programmer?

  - by bev

  I'm a self-taught programmer, just in case this question is answered in CS 101. I've learned and used lots of languages, mostly for my own personal use, but occasionally for professional stuff. It seems that I'm always running into the same wall when I run into trouble programming. For example, I just asked a question on another forum about how to handle a pointer-to-array that was returned by a function. Initially I'm thinking that I simply don't know the proper technique that the designers of C++ set up to handle the situation. But from the answers and discussions that follow I see that I don't really get what happens when something is 'returned'. How deep a level of understanding of the programming process must a good programmer achieve?

• Can emsripten compile down to Canvas-based Js instead of WebGL?

  - by Sebastian Scholle

  I understand that emscripten compiles down LLVM to JS and it converts OpenGL Calls to WebGL. Thats a fairly simple translation. Is there a way to tell emscripten to use some other graphics Library ( for example Pixi JS ) for its rendering code translations? Is the compiled JS code easy to update or would it be better to merge in your own Graphics API that handles WebGL/Canvas calls. IE: can we use a C++ Graphics Wrapper Library that when compiles to JS, will simply plug into our own JS Graphics Wrapper Library? Im assuming YES, but has anyone tried this? And if So, what would be your technique, as my C++ skills are basic.

• Les 4 types d'emails reçus par les informaticiens, lequel est le plus courant ?

  Les 4 types d'emails reçus par les informaticiens, lequel est le plus courant ? Etre un pro de l'IT dans une entreprise, ça veut bien souvent dire faire aussi le support technique pour tous les collègues un peu technophobes. Comme on arrête pas le progrès, les appels à l'aide se font désormais très souvent par e-mail, plutôt que de visu ou par téléphone. On peut classer en 4 catégories le genre de messages typiquement reçus. Les voici : L'e-mail vague Contient très peu d'informations et ne donne pas de détails. En gros c'est "débrouille toi tout seul, et vite". Qu'il s'agisse d'un problème critique ou d'un problème insignifiant émanant de l'ignorance de l'u...

• Google va renforcer ses mesures anti-cloacking, un changement important qui pourrait impacter les sites mobiles et les contenus riches

  Google va renforcer ses mesures anti-cloacking Un changement important qui pourrait impacter les sites mobiles et les contenus riches Comme résolution du nouvel an, Google a décidé de resserrer l'étau sur le « cloaking », cette pratique qui consiste à présenter aux moteurs de recherche un contenu différent de celui présenté à l'utilisateur. Souvent utilisée à des fins de spam, cette technique est réprimée par Google et les autres moteurs de recherche. Pourtant, de nombreux webmasters la trouvent utile pour améliorer le référencement de sites conçus avec des technologies encore mal prises en compte par les bots des moteurs de recherche, comme le Flash ou le Rich Medi...

• Random Cache Expiry

  - by mahemoff

  I've been experimenting with random cache expiry times to avoid situations where an individual request forces multiple things to update at once. For example, a web page might include five different components. If each is set to time out in 30 minutes, the user will have a long wait time every 30 minutes. So instead, you set them all to a random time between 15 and 45 minutes to make it likely at most only one component will reload for any given page load. I'm trying to find any research or guidelines on this topic, e.g. optimal variance parameters. I do recall seeing one article about how Google (?) uses this technique, but can't locate it, and there doesn't seem to be much written about the topic.

• Sortie de Joomla! 3.0.0, responsive design, installation simplifiée et nouveau module de statistiques

  Voilà qui est fait, six mois après la sortie de Joomla! 2.5 : la version 3. Tout d'abord, un mot sur le release cycle : la version 2.5 est une LTS (long term support), pas la 3.0. Cette dernière permet de casser pas mal de choses et ne sera donc pas supportée à long terme : il faudra attendre la 3.5 pour cela (au rythme d'une version mineure tous les six mois). La 2.5 sera supportée jusqu'à la sortie de la 3.5, au moins : il est toujours sûr de l'utiliser, elle sera toujours supportée? mais ne verra pas d'évolution technique. Avec la sortie de cette version 3.0, par contre, c'est le support de la vieillissante 1.5 qui est arrêté. La migration de la 2.5 vers la 3.0 devrait se passer sans heurts, sauf en cas d'utilisation intensive d'extensions (quelques modifications...

• What encryption algorithm/package should I use in a betting game type situation?

  - by user299648

  I have a betting type site where I publish a number (between 0-100) that is encrypted. Then after a period of time, I would review what the number is and prove it with a key to decrypt the encrypted number to prove that I'm not cheating. I also want it to be easily verifiable by an average user. What encryption algorithm/technique/package should I use? I'm no expert on cryptography. There seems to be so many options out there and I'm not sure what to use. python friendly is a plus.
