Taste in Music? Last.fm?
|
Lo,
Just listening to my personal radio on Last.fm (does anyone else have an account?), and I was wondering, what kind of music are you guys into? Rock, hip hop, dance?
My taste is definitely in rock, from The Velvet Underground to Nirvana... |

Point distance from ellipse outline
|
Hi,
This is in a similar vein to my previous thread, involving GDI+ and ellipses (here). In short, I'd like to know a general formula for a 2 dimensional point's (shortest) distance from a ellipse's outline at any angle (if I've got the x,y, width... |

C#, GDI+ and Ellipses
|
Hi,
I'm currently working on a program for drawing graphs (i.e. the discrete kind - nodes and arcs), using C# and a custom control. Of course, with an arc, it can link to the same node it started it from, so it loops around.
Therefore, an... |

Code as Poetry?
|
Hi,
This thread will probably qualify me for the geekiest thing I've done in a while ;), but do you think some code does resemble an art form, and if so, what's the prettiest bit of code you've (ever) written? Of course, the prettiness of code is... |

P = NP?
|
Lo,
Since there are some very knowledgable people on here (who have taken Computer Science), it would be interesting to see what views and opinions appear in this topic.
The big question facing complexity theory is:
"Does P = NP?"

N-body problem, and Cauchy Sequences
|
Lo,
I know this has little relation to game development directly, but there are two things that are bothering me at the moment.
First is, is the n-body problem, for n > 2, actually solvable in an equation? I've heard it's been proven to be i... |

GCC/Cygwin and long longs. A bug?

Lo,
I'm currently coding a sign extension function (and messing around with long long's a lot, since I'm working on a 32-bit platform). I believe my sign extension function works correctly - but GCC is really weird when it comes to printing t... |

'Find a band' website idea

Lo,
Just had quite a 'hawt' idea. I'm always looking for people to jam with - however, the people I know around my area seem to have a different taste in music to me (e.g. I like the Pixies, Husker Du and my friends are into Led Zeppelin etc.). I'... |

How do profilers work?
|
Lo,
How do code profilers like Intel's VTune profile the code? Do they instrument the code with timers etc. automatically, and if so, how? I know GNU gprof is a good free software profiler, is it a typical example of a profiler?
I've always been... |

The two types of comedy

Yo,
Just been thinking about this, but I reckon comedy (i.e. a performance with humour) could be defined into 2 categories:
Slapstick - A performance where a part in the story gets into embarrassing and uncomfortable situations which have laugh... |

I don't want to live in a society in which women fight wars. I want to live in a society in which men protect women from the evil in the world. Wether that is mysogynistic or romantic, I really don't care.

Could you be any more tasteless?
RIP Steve Irwin. Anyone who raises awareness of wild animals is a good guy in my book. |

calling functions whose names come from text files

What you're trying to do is not really supported in C and C++ - and it's called reflection - and is supported better in languages such as C# and Java - whose runtimes do carry more runtime information.
Another way - although not very extensible, w... |
