Things would happen much the same since we wouldn't have the experience we have today if the www hadn't already been created. If we had to recreate it however, we'd probably try for standards from the begining. We'd prob

1) TDD, I get SOO much more done, & with a greater level of confidence. 2) Exercise, I'm not tired all the time anymore. I'm losing weight. I'm happier. I no longer have an all comsuming need to feast on human flesh.

Yes. It's a bit hard to do so for games, but doing so makes it SOOOOOOO much easier to port if you have to. After all a test is basically a port to a system that has a different graphical, windowing & input system (none, none, &amp

All of that information is already available from other sources for free. The only thing released that wasn't already accessible was the presentation and art-work from TIME. I hate feeling like I have to chime in on the side of large o

I was recently doing some win32 coding, getting an odd access violation that hits JUST before winmain/main exits, only on x64 and only in Release mode. I deleted/un-deleted nearly every bit of code to find my problem. Turns out I

I love the stl, it's almost always the best thing to use in C++ (wrt Cost/Benefit, love me some vectors). My comment was geared to someone who does "Java, C#, Ruby, Python, [and] JavaScript" programming. The most notable

1) There are so many resources. Your best bet is to find 10 or so that teach modern c++ (c++11 & c++14), and follow through with your favourite. 2) Memory management is the biggest difference from Java and C#. Try not to use pointers un

You might not even really own the physical space. What would happen if you didn't pay land tax (or your local equivilent)?

Not an expert, but here's a pragmatic thought for you. You probably aren't the next Notch, there's a good chance no one will pay for your game before it's done. You can put off monetization, once you have a good idea wha

"Java/Python/etc is too slow." Then don't use it when speed is an issue! "C/C++ are unsafe." Only if you don't know how to manage memory & don't leverage tools. "javascript doesn&#x

Are you a cannibal? Or did you mean whenever? In the event you are a cannibal I have bad news about red meat.

There is no right way to debug. Whatever finds your bugs works. Personally I use whichever debugger I have on hand with breakpoints and walk through code to see what's going on, that usually lets me find my bugs fairly quickly. Of co

It offers a good grounding. You'll need to speak with native speakers regularly if you want to become fluent, but it's good for getting you over the, "I can't make myself understood at all," hump. Of course you can

How much time do you actually spend with this guy? Measure it. Don't guess, or you'll be wrong. Verify that you can get cheaper or better work elsewhere BEFORE you let this guy go. Ultimately you need to know if moving onto better

Variable name length should match scope. A variable that only does something for three lines can be a single letter (Ex: i). A variable that is (god forbid) global should be nice and long (Ex: global_map_of_all_callback_functions). Everythi

It'll be a little bit of time before we get the full immersive holodeck experience (we have the technology to approximate it, it's just damn expensive). Most VR will be sit-down with some controls for the time being. Not knowing w

Might not be what you want, but I like mithril.js. It's now my go-to solution for HTML-javascript projects. It allows rapid prototyping and simple iteration is a way that most other solutions I've experimented with just don't

Set aside time for your side projects. If they're that attractive then use them as a reward. Pavlovian Training works on humans and we can self implement. Don't forget to socialize, while you focus on that your mind will do its th

There were significant performance improvements in windows 7 & 8. (Maybe 8.1 & 10 too) You have to understand Mac controls their entire product chain. Each OS has always been more or less locked to similar era hardware. Windows has

It seems like a team building exercise. Everyone sees how everyone else works, and helps them grow. The 'client' is there to provide feature requests to see how whoever's on the hot-seat implements those and responds to chang

Ignoring the software reasons, that are already in the comments. Unhackable software is impossible because direct access is total access. If you make a perfect program running on a perfect OS it still has to operate in the real world. IRL I
