But people will only buy it if publishers publish for it. And while I don't know the details of a Steam box, assuming a x64 config, you won't be able to really undercut Dell or HP. So why buy a Steam box if you can get a WIndows PC which al

Yes, I pointed to that, the thing is, people won't switch to linux because of that. I know Linux guys always want to say 'X is going to be the reason Linux will be adopted' but the thing is, it won't. Outside tech circles, and what I call t

There is one thing that is important here. Valve/Steam, even if they have a linux client, are at the hand of Microsoft/Apple. I think the reason they are moving to Linux is to see if they can get out of that stranglehold but I doubt it. The

I'm not saying you are wrong. Just pointing out that sometimes looking after yourself first then helping your mates is more important (for example, if you and your buddy were both hurt, looking to see if you can easily control your bleeding

Can't really speak much as never been through bootcamp myself, but 3 doesn't sit well with me. There is a reason you should put your mask on a place before putting it on your 'neighbour' This is also drilled to paramedics/policemen/firemen

I didn't say it was easy, just possible :P In any case, I prefer to use the F keys as standard functions keys.

I don't use the menu much so I tend to use the trackpad for that. You could also try KeyCue [ http://www.ergonis.com/products/keycue/ ]. You press the Command key for a while and all the options are shown in a popup.

Just so you know, in Mac OS you can navigate the menu with keyboard. Try Ctrl+F2 to focus on the menu and then arrow keys

For some reason, testing graduates a lot of designers. What I found in various game companies is that game designers usually graduate from other positions in the company and rarely hired as designers from the start.

It's quite common in these parts to be honest to piss on .net/Java 'enterprise' code. Many of the folks here haven't seen what kind of systems banks and other big companies work with, so they have this little start-uppy world view with test

And rails security is why the whole rails stack sucks balls. the sad part is that they actually think it's good to be agile on something critical See, easy to over generalise. Edit: And amazingly just 12 minutes ago: https://news.ycombina

What is for you 'medicine proper'? Do you mean it has been tested and found to work, even if it has nothing to do with medicine (some herbal supplement or meditation) or just medical approved/ordered? I don't buy into much of the alt-med ar

Situation isn't much better here in Portugal, but it is slightly better. Why not jump over the ocean? Average for a developer is around 1000-1200 EUR/month. If you are good and have a good track record 1500-2000 EUR. It isn't much after tax

Hi nirmel Sorry to tack this on here, but any chance I can give you a call or an email? Wanted to ask you a couple questions as I'm developing a product in this field as well (don't think it competes with lawdingo). Bruno

Let's suppose I was a super programmer that made the company millions, but I also slept with the boss's girlfriend. If someone asks the boss for a reference, what do you think will motivate the boss more? The million of dollars or the fact

Hey Just a quick question, what area do you work with? 25k for London is quite low. I ask cause I keep getting some offers from London and may be able to refer you to some.

While I agree with the spirit of what you are saying, it isn't as easy as mentioned. I think I mentioned this in previous comments, but finding someone that likes to liv frugally, and is a potential mate (all other things combined) isn't th

No problem :) Just to compare, 33k EUR gives about shy of 1500 EUR a month after taxes.

Actually, I lived in Edinburgh about 10 years ago. Cost of living there was cheaper (at the time) than here :) But I admire the money you saved (I saved slightly less at the time)

I didn't mean that comment as a complain so push back a lot :) The thing I wanted to mention, is I'm actually doing well for myself (well, somewhat) but if you are earning 20k EUR a year, after taxes, you don't have that much to save after

I see this a lot here and in other places. I can't speak for the article's author, but not everyone is in the USA where software developers are payed 100k+. I get paid 33k (EUR) a year. After taxes that is about 1500 a month. After bills an

As I mentioned, and I think others have as well in other threads, this seems more like a USA thing. And I would say some of them were comfortable telling me the truth as some of them in college I was dating. In the work place I never dated

1) no, but I do notice this seems to be more pervasive in the USA. I have very good female friends in tech here. NONE say they notice sexism. 2) again no, and I point to 1, I am talking about my personal experience 3) For fuck's sake, reall

You got a lot of flack from others from this comment. To be honest, I agree with you. I always opposed women only events, and I think these grants are also horrible. Maybe it is an USA problem, but I worked in various industries (games, ban

Try the games industry! The pay sucks compared to other development, and work hours are crap, but you will be able to work on AI, gameplay, Graphics, physics (whatever your experience is). But in all honesty, if you started programming a c

Yes, and as I mentioned, I really doubt you are at the level where those performance gains matter. If you use c# you will be working with DirectX, which most means much of the heavy lifting is done there. Unreal and Unity have teams of prog
