Others are arguing, that because AlphaGo does use a search tree process, that his prediction was correct. I would say that idea of the search tree was correct, but the methodology he was proposing in the rest of the article were further op

I think that's quite a reasonable question. 1. Less CPU usage than an equivalent game in OpenGl. This is especially true for games which want to draw lots of different individual things to the screen, so you may be seeing more of thos

Damn, that sucks, but not nearly as much as if it was a random explosion. I believe in this scenario, astronauts would be able to do an emergency separation, getting far away from the lower stage before it was detonated. My biggest worry

That scene is impressively accurate in ways few people will notice: In addition to the awesome slow motion, there are three boys who shoot before Merida starts her shooting. The first two miss horribly, and the third one gets a bull&#x27

You can still, if you really want to, build the Go 1.4 from its C source, then compile the go compiler with that result.

var x int _ = x Mildly annoying, but it avoids unused variables in any code which compiles, and is a helpful reminder of "I was going to do something with this value".

An interesting anecdote from Gabe Newell in the reddit thread: So far the paid mods have generated $10K total. That's like 1% of the cost of the incremental email the program has generated for Valve employees (yes, I mean pissing off

I think why there's interest is because the way they're implemented in Go is a nice intersection between duck typing and type safety. In most type safe languages (eg. java), you explicitly have to say that you want your goose to

I remember when Ashly Burch said she did some voice acting for Valve. People thought it might be HL3 related, but it turned out to be for a TF2 video. The lesson: Of course Valve is working on something, they're a video game company,

I've been following this stuff fairly closely: This is rooted in a deal between Samsung and Oculus. The DK2's screen is literally Galaxy Note 3 screen. The screen is a critical part of virtual reality, so a good partner already

There is a level of interpretation required here. The 4th amendment wasn't written in an age where it was conceivable that information could be copied for free or intercepted without taking something from a carrier. What's impor

The point here is not that any given site needs to be secure, but that by having all sites secure, the whole web is better off for it. The downside for you is that you'd need to do some extra work, but the upside is that you can enjoy

Here's a search of the go source for use of that: https://github.com/golang/go/search?p=3&q=%22for+range%22&ty... Most of them are tests, but I see a couple genuine use cases: 1. Draining a channel un

An interface takes any value for which the required methods are defined on it. Methods can be defined on any type declared in the package. A type in go can be a lot more that just a struct; it can be any type in the language. So while it m

Well, at the time of Go's open source announcement, Github was 1.5 years old. Go existed before that too, looking at the dates the first whiteboard doodles about what would become the Go programming language were done about a month be

I think this move is great for 2 big reasons: 1. This fits better with the workflows I know and are common for Go programmers. I use Github and Git regularly for a variety of things, and I only ever use Google Code and Mercurial for things

The story behind this is that Jon Blow is tired of making games in C and C++. He wants something better, but not necessarily something that is higher level. This demo goes over an initial prototype of the language. Shown are that he was

I love it when John Carmack talks, because he doesn't do marketing speak, and he doesn't dumb down his content. It's just a brain dump of technical info until they (almost literally) kick him off the stage.

This is simply an iteration. They mentioned that they had some things to fix, so there will definitely be more work done before the consumer version is ready. If you're not actively wanting to develop for the rift, wait. The current

The second example doesn't do a copy of the data. The underlying data storage of a string is immutable. In your example x would point to the memory location of the constant string s. If you do for example: x += "\n"

Go doesn't have them. There is no large need for any special consideration of values other than those discussed in the blog post. The programmer can declare the global variable easy enough, and even use Go's Init method to popul
