Not sure if this is a USA vs Australia difference - here, folks don't tend to sue for unfair dismissal, but it's still extremely hard to actually _fire_ people - especially, you can't really fire someone for mediocrity. Gross incompetence, yes, but "just as mediocre as 90% of job applicants" is not a sackable offence....

That's what's happening at the moment. The GPU is rendering the mesh obviously, and all the generation is done on the CPU. I thought you were suggesting doing the generation on the GPU, which I know is possible, and it would be faster because the GPU is better at handling lots and lots of calculations. It takes a long...

Yeah, but hopefully the rock star talent will tell the business what they *really* should be doing, and how to do it efficiently, rather than churning out endless unmaintainable junk code, which is what the mediocre folks will do.

You use GPL so that you can provide things to other people, which would be useful to them, because you care about other people. By using GPL you stop the assholes from taking your work and claiming it as their own.

C++, Java, C#, etc have similarly inspired other languages.

Java and C++ have both gotten faster over the years. On average C++ is faster, but only ~1.5 times. It's not a huge difference and Java and C++ are thus basically in the same league. Now take Python or Ruby. Those are on average approximately 2 orders of magnitude slower, and that's quite a lot.

Almost all "modern" IT is also ultimately based on assembly and machine code. it's not dead. not by a long shot but many try to avoid actually writing in C in favour of higher level languages. you can't repudiate your parents but you can have someone else take care of them in their old age.

It's also approximately the time of that manifesto where Python programmers agreed to blog aggressively about Python. It hit Europe a few years later. Suddenly everyone who knew Python -had- to be aggressive about it. It was kinda silly and weird. Like how the clones in episode 3 suddenly turned against the Jedi.

Two additional cons for Python: * It's slow. Not just a bit slow, no really slow. (http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/which-programming-languages-are-fastest.php) * Using it apparently makes you overly aggressive against whatever language is most popular at the moment.

That's the biggest question. Everyone has been saying for 10 years that Java is dying, but then what on earth should replace it? * Redditors say Python. (and okay, a few say Ruby) * Scala fans say Scala * Clojure fans say Clojure * Haskell fans say... nothing (hmmmm) * Go fans say Go! * Groovy fans say Groovy * Cylon...

Your post is pretty funny.

I don't know squat about 3D programming but it seems like you could slash your generation time down by sending a co-ordination list to OpenGL/DirectX and letting them do the heavy lifting. Your workload is what we call 'embarassingly parallel' and perfectly suited to a GPU.

As someone who doesn't do a lot of C++ programming I found this a pretty refreshing demonstration of templates. The code examples are really well done. It's not every day something as low level and intricate as memory allocation becomes a good example for higher level constructs.

I'm sorry, but this "I'll give you something only if you give me something back" is a bit selfish. I prefer BSD/MIT style licenses because they are simpler and more permissive. I don't want to have to worry about license compatibility or whatever, it has nothing to do with money.
