Constant horizontal band heights in a polygonal mesh undergoing vertical deformation (OpenGL ES 1.1)

When implementing texture mapping on a standard polygonal mesh using the usual algorithm, you can run into issues related to deformations along the y-axis in that the deformations follow along bands of constant height rows of quads instead of the vertices in this direction being able to stretch independently compared to that along the x-...

NSTextView not refreshed properly on scrolling

Greetings, I have a NSTextView with a sizeable quantity of text. Whenever I scroll however, the view isn't updated properly. There are some artifacts that remain at the top or the bottom of the view.

What is the cause/use/reason for the blocks that show up in high compression videos?

Be patient since I haven't worked with compression algorithms much so this may be obvious to some of you. Something I've always noticed when some streaming video starts to lag.

TeamCity: Best Practices to deploy produced installers (artifacts)

We got a TeamCity server which produces nightly deployable builds. We want our beta tester to have access these nightly builds. What are the best practices to do this?

Removing OpenGL texture artifacts

Hi, I am creating a simple opengl application which obviously includes some 3d-objects and textures. My problem is however that artifacts appear on every texture.

How to get CEdit to scroll properly?

How can I prevent TeamCity from creating artifacts for pre-tested commits?

Right now, TeamCity is creating 2 sets of artifacts each time I do a successful pre-tested commit, one when it builds the solution with my local changes against which to run the tests, and a second time when it gets triggered by the VCS repository change. How can I prevent it from creating artifacts for its build-to-test before commit? ...

Aggregating built artifacts in Teamcity to a single zip

Aim: Set up an ant/cmd script that will package the artifacts from several builds into a single zip. I plan to do this by setting up a final build configuration that will have a dependency on those several projects. So all my build configurations build successfully and produce build artifacts on the Build Server @.BuildServer\system\art...
