• System Requirement Checking

  - by gl3829

  I am working on a game and want to strengthen its requirement checking to ensure that it can run successfully. Therefore, I am looking for information on what is useful to check before starting the game. As a simple example, Why check for a specific amount of memory? Should I as a game developer ensure a minimum amount of memory? I feel this information is usually skipped in many books and resources but is critical to be able to deliver a game that will run on many machines. I would appreciate if you answered with what you check in the system, why you check it and if you have a good resource about it, please include. Just to be a bit more specific, I'm developing in Windows.

• Vos applications valident-elles correctement les adresses e-mail ? Retour sur les détails des spécifications

  Vos applications valident-elles correctement les adresses e-mail ? Retour sur les détails des spécifications Les adresses e-mail sont au coeur de toutes les applications Web. Et s'il y a bien une seule tâche commune à tous les projets de développement Web, c'est la validation de ces adresses. Si cette validation peut sembler au premier abord simple, facilement accomplie par le test de conformité à une expression rationnelle, beaucoup de développeurs ignorent les détails des spécifications et risquent de rejeter des utilisateurs aux adresses e-mail peu habituelles certes, mais tout à fait conformes. Le problème vient essentiellement du fait que les spécifications...

• New "How do I ..." series

  - by Maria Colgan

  Over the last year or so the Optimizer development team has presented at a number of conferences and we got a lot of questions that start with "How do I ...". Where people were looking for a specific command or set of steps to fix a problem they had encountered. So we thought it would be a good idea to create a series of small posts that deal with these "How do I" question directly. We will use a simple example each time, that shows exactly what commands and procedures should be used to address a given problem. If you have an interesting "How do I .." question you would like to see us answer on the blog please email me and we will do our best to answer them! Watch out for the first post in this series which addresses the problem of "How do I deal with a third party application that has embedded hints that result in a sub-optimal execution plan in my environment?"

• Qt Quick : des interfaces déclaratives hors norme ? Pourquoi ne sont-elles pas encore répandues ?

  Il y a peu, Nokia lançait Qt Quick, un nouveau module de Qt permettant de décrire des interfaces graphiques, un paradigme alors présenté comme assez nouveau. Or, une simple recherche à l'aide de Google montre bien que ces technologies ne sont pas récentes du tout, on trouve par exemple des traces de K, un langage presque ésotérique tellement il est peu connu du grand nombre actuellement, dans les années 90. Qu'est-ce qui a changé depuis lors ? Aussi, on peut remarquer que d'autres technologies phares dans le développement applicatif telles que .NET ou Java en disposent depuis belle lurette. On peut notamment citer XAML (arrivé avec le .NET Framework 3.0) du côté .NET ou Swul pour Java. Qu'ont-ils donc de différent ? Peut-on les comparer ? Ils tentent tous d'atteindre un cer...

• General usage question of vbo

  - by CSharpie

  Firstofall, I am sorry if my question is to broad. I am developing a tile based game and switched from those gl.Begin calls to using VBOs. This is kind of working allready, I managed to render a hexagonal polygon with a simple shader applied. What I am not sure is, how to implement the "whole" tile concept. Concrete the questions are: - Is it better to create 1 VBO for a single tile and render it n-Times in every different position, or render one huge VBO that represents the whole "world" - Depending on the answer above, what is the best way to draw a "linegrid". Overlay with the same vbo using the respecting polygon.mode , or is there a way to let the shader to this? - How would frustum-culling or mousepicking work then, do i need to keep the VBO-data in memory?

• Introduction to the SQL Server Analysis Services Neural Network Data Mining Algorithm

  In data mining and machine learning circles, the neural network is one of the most difficult algorithms to explain. Fortunately, SQL Server Analysis Services allows for a simple implementation of the algorithm for data analytics.

• Keypress : une nouvelle bibliothèque JavaScript voit le jour, pour interagir avec les événements du clavier

  Une nouvelle bibliothèque JavaScript voit le jour pour interagir avec les touches du clavier La bibliothèque Keypress permet de capturer les événements clavier et propose plusieurs fonctionnalités avancées associées à ces événements. Elle est simple à utiliser, ne pèse que 9kb et n'a aucune dépendance. Elle peut donc être installée seule sans se soucier d'une éventuelle présence d'une autre bibliothèque (comme beaucoup qui sont basées sur jQuery par exemple). Keypress se veut facile à intégrer et à utiliser, cependant, la bibliothèque est encore soumise aux retours utilisateurs et est donc susceptible d'être modifiée. Si vous recherchez une bibliothèque stable, et que vous n'êtes pas intéressé par...

• dbus error on 14.04 after system is left idle for a few hours

  - by user281513

  I did a clean install of 14.04 on a crucial M4 64gb ssd. The system boots in less than 30 seconds now! but.. when I leave it idle for a few hours and log back in nothing works .. if I do a simple command like df ..I get a dbus error message. I also have a toshiba sata disk mounted for general storage since the ssd is so small .. nothing appears to be damaged when I reboot but it is extremely annoying .. any ideas on how to correct this will be appreciated.

• Particle system lifetimes in OpenGL ES 2

  - by user16547

  I don't know how to work with my particle's lifetimes. My design is simple: each particle has a position, a speed and a lifetime. At each frame, each particle should update its position like this: position.y = position.y + INCREMENT * speed.y However, I'm having difficulties in choosing my INCREMENT. If I set it to some sort of FRAME_COUNT, it looks fine until FRAME_COUNT has to be set back to 0. The effect will be that all particles start over at the same time, which I don't want to happen. I want my particles sort of live "independent" of each other. That's the reason I need a lifetime, but I don't know how to make use of it. I added a lifetime for each particle in the particle buffer, but I also need an individual increment that's updated on each frame, so that when PARTICLE_INCREMENT = PARTICLE_LIFETIME, each increment goes back to 0. How can I achieve something like that?

• Installing 12.10 on Dell r710

  - by user115490

  I have been trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a Dell r710. I have 6 disks in each 2 TB. I setup a raid 5 in the HW raid controller with all drives, and proceeded with the OS install. When the partitioner runs it fails to create / for some reason. I then tried just setting up a simple raid 1 with 2 drives in the HW controller, and doing the OS install again. The installer runs fine this time. Once trying to boot I then get a kernel panic of 'Target File System doesn't have requested /sbin/init' as well as a bunch of 'deleted inode referenced'. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

• Google veut doper l'adoption professionnelle de ses Google Apps avec un réseau de partenaires-revendeurs de plus en plus important

  Google veut doper l'adoption professionnelle de ses Google Apps Et mise sur un réseau de partenaires-revendeurs de plus en plus important Souscrire aux Google Apps for Business est on ne peut plus simple. Il suffit d'ouvrir un compte et un domaine. Les applications hébergées sont alors immédiatement accessibles et fonctionnelles. Cela, c'est pour la théorie. Dans la pratique, ce genre de choix implique très souvent de la part des entreprises une migration (de Outlook et Exchange vers Gmail par exemple), ou une articulation avec l'existant (entre Microsoft Office et Google Docs pour citer un autre exemple fréquent).

• Check for Instant File Initialization

  - by TiborKaraszi

  Instant File initialization, IFI, is generally a good thing to have. Check out this earlier blog post of mine f you don't know what IFI is and why it is a good thing: blog . The purpose of this blog post is to provide a simple script you can use to check if you have IFI turned on. Note that the script below uses undocumented commands, and might take a while if you have a large errorlog file...

• Why Gsettings isn't enough to reset my nautilus settings?

  - by berdario

  I'm trying to narrow down a bug (to eventually report it or give up if it'll turn out that resetting a simple setting will be enough to get rid of it) I noticed that with a brand new user the bug doesn't pop up so I tried to reset the config of my user's nautilus I renamed .config/nautilus I renamed .nautilus2 (strange name... why the 2?) and I did a gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.nautilus strangely enough, it didn't work: I previously set up to use my home as the desktop folder, and now the key has correctly been resetted $gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences desktop-is-home-dir false and yet on my desktop I see the contents of my home folder (meaning that the settings have not been resetted) I know that with the transition to gtk3 there've been lots of changes (before I should've used gconf... but now there's dconf and gsettings), so there're quite a bit of question about nautilus... but these unfortunately now seem to be outdated

• Failed to allocate memory - What is it trying to say?

  - by asprin

  In my early days of programming I often used to get memory related fatal errors in the following format: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of <some big number> bytes exhausted (tried to allocate <some small number> bytes) in /path/to/filename.php on line <some line number> I'm a little embarrassed to state that even though I have figured out how to solve them and take steps to avoid them altogether, I'm still not quite sure what exactly does the message translate to in simple words. For example, if I get a message such as: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4000 bytes) in ........ on line 34 As things stand at the moment, I assume it to be stating that the script consumes 67108864 bytes of data, but only 4000 bytes are available during runtime. Am I right in my assumption? If not, what's the correct interpretation?

• GMail API for a small app (Rails? Javascript? PHP?)

  - by kurtybot

  I want to create an app that accesses the GMail API, but I'm finding that it isn't as simple as I thought it might be. I'm hoping somebody in the community here might have some experience working with one of these API's and could not only recommend the right solution, but also show me to some tutorials or examples that could help me get up and running. Here are some of the requirements of this app: Preferably in Rails or Javascript or even PHP. I am open to other technologies as well, but hope they'd be easy to implement. Connects to gmail via Oauth Can read who emails have been sent to and received from. Basically would like to perform some analytics on who emails are sent to, when and how frequently. I've read that one reason why this isn't easy, and why there isn't an official javascript API provided by gmail, is that google is concerned it's going to make their service less performant for their users.

• Google devient une entreprise plus chère que Microsoft, changement d'époque ou sous-évaluation du premier éditeur mondial ?

  Google devient une entreprise plus chère que Microsoft Changement d'époque ou signe que les marchés sous-évaluent le premier éditeur mondial ? Le fait est simple. Google a aujourd'hui une capitalisation boursière supérieure à celle de Microsoft. Son interprétation, elle, est beaucoup plus complexe. Certains y verront un changement de paradigme (vers le 100% Web, l'abonnement, le contenu et le mobile). D'autres, le signe que les marchés sous-estiment l'assise de Microsoft dont le portefeuille produits et les clients sont beaucoup plus diversifiés. Le Wall Street Journal pour sa part remarque que l'action de Google était au plus bas depuis 4 ans au début de l'été. Les analyst...

• Does an inventory limit in an MMORPG make sense?

  - by Philipp

  I am currently developing a simple 2d MMORPG. My current focus is the inventory system. I am currently wondering if I should implement a limit on what a player character can carry. Either in form of a maximum weight, a limited number of inventory slots, or a combination of both. Almost every MMORPG I ever played limits inventory space. But plausibility aside, is this really necessary from a gameplay point of view? Maybe it would in fact improve the game experience when I just let the players carry as much stuff as they want. tl;dr: What is the game development rationale behind limiting carrying capacity of player characters?

• Size of an image imported with FreeImage

  - by KaiserJohaan

  I'm having abit of a brainfart and I can't quite grasp what I'm doing wrong. It's quite simple, I am importing an image with FreeImage (http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/) which has a method FreeImage_GetBits that returns a pointer to the first byte of the image data. I then try to load all the data into memory using (bitsperpixel / 8) * pixelsWidth ' pixelHeight, like this: uint32_t bitsPerPixel = FreeImage_GetBPP(bitmap); // resolves to 24 uint32_t widthInPixels = FreeImage_GetWidth(bitmap); // resolves to 1024 uint32_t heightInPixels = FreeImage_GetHeight(bitmap); // resolves to 1024 // container is a std::vector<uint8_t> pkgMaterial.mTextureData.insert(pkgMaterial.mTextureData.begin(), FreeImage_GetBits(bitmap), FreeImage_GetBits(bitmap) + ((bitsPerPixel/8) * widthInPixels * heightInPixels)); I have a jpg which is 31 kilobytes in size on disc. Yet when I load it using the above formula, I see the vector is then filled with 3145728 bytes, which is approx 3145 kilobytes. What am I doing wrong?

• New Window Via JavaScript Clears Parent

  - by Bunch

  This is not a new item at all but I came across it recently. For an app I had been using some JavaScript like: javascript:window.open(someurl.aspx here) to open a new window via a button. That bit of code had been working great in several other apps. Then in one app that same code decided to open the new window correctly while clearing the parent of everything but [object]. The fix ended up being simple, change the javascript to: javascript:void(window.open(someurl.aspx here); Then it worked like I thought it should. Tags: ASP.Net, JavaScript

• Where can I find some Cocos2dx beginner tutorials?

  - by Skeith

  I have tried to start programing with Cocos2dx but I have no idea where to start and the tutorials are no very not very helpful. What I am looking for is some tutorials/guides on how to begin using cocos2dx for the total beginner. Things like how to setup a project and run it and how to do simple things like draw graphics on the screen, play sounds and get input. I am running on windows 7 and have been told by the Cocos2dx wiki that this may cause problems so if anyone has a solution to this that would also be helpful.

• Using mocks to set up object even if you will not be mocking any behavior or verifying any interaction with it?

  - by smp7d

  When building a unit test, is it appropriate to use a mocking tool to assist you in setting up an object even if you will not be mocking any behavior or verifying any interaction with that object? Here is a simple example in pseudo-code: //an object we actually want to mock Object someMockedObject = Mock(Object.class); EqualityChecker checker = new EqualityChecker(someMockedObject); //an object we are mocking only to avoid figuring out how to instantiate or //tying ourselves to some constructor that may be removed in the future ComplicatedObject someObjectThatIsHardToInstantiate = Mock(ComplicatedObject.class); //set the expectation on the mock When(someMockedObject).equals(someObjectThatIsHardToInstantiate).return(false); Assert(equalityChecker.check(someObjectThatIsHardToInstantiate)).isFalse(); //verify that the mock was interacted with properly Verify(someMockedObject).equals(someObjectThatIsHardToInstantiate).oneTime(); Is it appropriate to mock ComplicatedObject in this scenario?

• Moving from an IT department to a proper technology company

  - by user2434

  I have been working with Java/web applications in an IT department of a retail company. As much as work goes, there is nothing much to say. Fixing couple of if/else loops, writing some simple business logic etc., is all what I have been doing. Having said that, I feel I have a good technical knowledge, and I am willing to move to companies like Microsoft/Google/Amazon etc., [I want to work in these places, because I feel I am a technical guy, and I am working in a place where most people freak out when the words like 'algorithm' are heard] I can of course prepare algorithms/computer science fundamentals etc.,(I hold a 4 year degree in computer science program) but beyond that, will my experience hold against me ? I doubt I'll even get a call from them seeing my work experience. What kind of questions(apart from the algorithm types) can I expect ?
