Disgusting country. The GOP is actively supporting and implementing systems of voter suppression, and the opposition party doesn't seem to have the will to do anything about it. I was concerned about the reports of foreign influence on

I love this article. >If N=16,000, then the entire dataset fits in the L1 cache of the CPU, assuming the CPU was made in this decade. This means the CPU can scan the data so fast it will make your hair flip. If N=64,000, then the data wi

This was exactly my thought. Did I completely miss an entire Google product cycle for some sort of poorly supported spotify competitor? Surprisingly, no!

I think this is indicative of the biggest problem we have had with social media: there is no legalism here, just "codes of conduct" that companies and users both willfully ignore. If your handle gets sold by some facebook employee

I know there are some people who won't like to hear this, but the reason technology sucks, generally, is because of capitalism. It is more profitable to release an avalanche of broken software than to spend the time to craft and maint

This is what I feel now. A google product launch is just another opportunity for them to hurt me. I have friends who still pour one out for Inbox.

I work at Insomniac, and can confirm that the "architectural copyright" laws are indeed a limiting factor on getting specific landmark buildings into the game. Further, the agreements we signed to license buildings for the first g

"It was more fun when I didn't know I was working with Nazis" is an extraordinarily bad take.

I think that the popularisation of hero cops in media leads directly into these movements. I believe people would be more willing to examine the actions of police critically if they weren't being sold as "the good guys" for s

That public perception has a lot to do with Dick Wolf creating the Law & Order television series. Historically, cops have not been loved by their communities (one of the reasons the supreme court saw fit to introduce the absurd doctrine

It's not that they can't figure out high density VR displays, it's that they're prohibitively expensive to produce. Display miniturisation is not a problem domain that a lot of tech is focused on, so progress is necessar

This is the UI for civilization, correct? i didn't seem to be able to interact with the... game part of the game. Still, Civilization games have impressively complex UI, so even to approximate that is quite a task.

I understand that you're coming from a good place, but speculation on how to "hack" fascism is fundamentally misplaced energy. Nobody will have to worry about overloading the CBP's hard drives if we live in a country whe

I would like to reiterate: delete your facebook account. Do not allow yourself to be party to a clearly corrupt system, when the upside is a messaging app and a convenient way to share baby photos. Facebook's power is it's ubiquit

The Snowden leaks showed that the NSA has built the capacity to spy on essentially the entire internet. You really think they'll balk at a few petabytes?

It's completely insane that, in America, police are allowed to direct paramedics to inject a person with _anything_. Anesthesiologists go through how many years of schooling and training? And even then, nobody is injecting kids with sh

Incredible. I deleted my facebook account earlier this year, and I've been looking to get a VR headset. This sort of forces me into the Vive camp, I suppose.

Nothing could paint a clearer picture than this: America is no longer a place that smart people want to move to. Quite the opposite, in fact. I think that, regardless of how the election shapes up this year, next year will see an enormous u

This is disgusting. Anybody working at an American firm that's supporting this initiative should be ashamed. Anybody working on this project is actively contributing to the destruction of international trust and cooperation. I am beyon

I program video games; I would consider running a real-time simulation as a "state-rich" problem domain. And the constraints of running real-time simulations mean that some implementations are not acceptable. Things are not genera

I'm a game developer, but i would consider myself "cautiously pro-gigaleak." IMO, after a game has finished its natural sales cycle, there should be a way to preserve all of the work that went into bringing it to life. So muc

??? What are you talking about. That's people reacting to the announcement trailer for the game. The point being that nothing I could ever produce at Facebook or Amazon would ever produce that sort of genuine reaction from people.

This is a compilation of people reacting in real time to the next game I'm working on. Nothing I could ever build at a FAANG company compares to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtxaEDp3AFI

Hey, I loved the article! One comment is the animated header backgrounds are pretty jarring for people with sensitivity to motion when trying to read. Would there be a way that you could add a button to pause the animations? I think it woul

In AAA game development Scaleform has yet to make a complete exit. I just get used to seeing those several ms of unrecoverable time lost each frame.
