Numsgil:I suspect it has to do with VB6 and the capabilities of it. It's not as flexible and powerful as modern languages. Sadly it isn't easy to recreate everything in a new language, a lot has already been build in DB2.QuoteBut again, my complete and absolute hatred of the current DB2 codebase makes this sort of moot anyway.
Why do you hate the current code so much? I hope it is not all my fault.
Although I can see why you might think my attempt at a port will fail because you hate the current code anyway.
Still, I would like to get some pointers from you on this when you have a chance.
Ay, I am planning in investing a couple 100 in a decent firewall. The way peterIM works, all I need is port 79 open right? If not, what are the other ports used for?Port 79 outgoing, you can also set comodo up so only PeterIM(so no other applications) can do outbound connections to 'ip-address server' on port 79.
Im just wishing IM opens multiple ports one dayWon't happen. You can also give a list of ports you're able to make outbound connections, and I could look if that's a port I can make default.
I have Kaspersky, Microsoft forefront gateway (and for my developer OS AVG)Isn't MFG only for windows server?
Looks like it places them all around the same skill? I think that's what we'd want if so. It's hard to get a sense of the relative scales. Can you add in a strategy that has a 80% chance to win against any of RPS? I'd like to see if it's noticeably higher than all the others.Added.
It would send the same basic drawings then? Just to be certain. There isn't something that calculates what's between 2 frames and draws that. It just draws the situation of a frame. If 60FPS is on, it may draw exactly the same multiple times.Updating existing things seems necessary. I'm animating the slipstream testbed a few seconds and I'm up to a few MB.
Normally it doesn't do any updates between cycles, does it?
It resends everything every time the viewport gets invalidated. I don't remember if there's a timer that forces it to draw at 60 FPS but certainly everytime you drag the display or zoom in/out it redraws.
<animatetransform> doesn't want a affine matrix, but scale, rotation, translation and skew.Also, svg doesn't seem to want to take affine matrix into animations. Is there a method to calculate the angle/scaling I'm overlooking?
Isn't there an <animatetransform> tag?
If you have to you can extract the scale, rotation, skew and translation from an affine transformation, you'll need to SVD decompose the first two columns like I was mentioning before. The translation is just the last column, though, so that part's easy
DB3 will be multithreaded, but what that gives I'm going to suck up with an even more aggressive simulation. You could run it on some $10k "supercomputer" and a simulation might only run twice as fast as a dinky $500 machine. If we want the sorts of bot-cycles that make a good ALife sim we're going to need to think wide (clusters) instead of tall (servers).Kinda open question, but what amount of parallelization can be achieved in DB3? What's the maximum amount of processors it could fully use extra. 4, 12, 30, no clue yet? Is there a module that can hardly be parallelized?
Each of these systems are designed so that matches are picked at random, aren't they? You basically want to take a small sample that represents the global population.They're not. Otherwise a chess grandmaster has to play a low ranked player often. They're designed to calculate the right strength of players. Including on how to deal with matches not being a random sample.
