In game development we don't use futures or similar mechanisms. We use job systems. They are much more powerful for serious muktithreading requirements. I'm not saying futures are useless at all, but we wouldn't use them wher

And what kind of crappy security were they encoding those files with that the foreigners could crack? Maybe it was encryption that the NSA put a back door into, which means they are now getting their just desserts. It sucks to be back doore

That's an acknowledged AMD bug which is fixed but I don't believe it's available yet. Oculus v0.6 apps can always just run in direct mode and avoid that problem.

The point is that somebody shouldn't have to come in and diagnose the server error.

We've used a distributed compiler product (incredibuild) with great success.

Nope. The author was just clueless.

As usual, this guy doesn't understand how to use C++. Nobody with any significant C++ experience puts error generating code in constructors. Once I saw that I stopped reading.

"The developers would be locked away and out would pop a product based on what the world wanted three years ago." The world did not want Windows 8.

These solutions are fine for old and simple games, but don't scale as solutions to large scale games. Source: I've worked on such games.

I expect that remote key amplifier attacks work against Tesla like they do against other cars. I wish automakers weren't in denial about this problem.

Toyota's problem was real, and the author hot it wrong: http://embeddedgurus.com/barr-code/2013/10/an-update-on-toyo...

If Toyota had anything to do with that analysis then it wasn't independent. My recollection of the Barr analysis is that a particular failure case was in fact described which occurs during certain conditions of memory exhaustion: http

There are so many things Xcode does worse than Visual Studio, and so few things it does better. 5:1 ratio. Yesterday I was dealing with how Xcode's disassembly mode debugging is so bad compared to VS that it's nearly unusable.

I'm going to guess that the transaction in question was indeed fraudulent and the student is not as innocent as he claims to be.

Every single Windows trackpad is shit, and the common feature of most of them is Synaptics. Windows laptop makers could probably get near double digit market percentage increases from fixing their shitty track pad situation alone. Android a

What good is the standard implementation if the gcc guy responds with WONTFIX?

I've noticed the Gecko vs WebKit rendering difference as well. I never bothered to look into exactly what it was.

Microsoft didn't need to do any "innovating." They just needed to adhere to existing and emerging standards. Also, Microsoft needs to seriously stop using that word "innovation,"because the more they talked about it

Long ago when developing for the PS2 gaming machine, we used this exact technique to achieve a 10x faster mutex on that platform than using the semaphore directly as a mutex, so it hasn't always been pointless.

The modern version of what Maxis used to be is Minecraft. Developing those games is risky though. For every minecraft there are ten failures.

by TwoBit 12y ago
Yep. And what people don't understand here is that EA isn't killing Maxis, they're shutting down the Emeryville studio. Half of Maxis was already at the Ears studio on the Sims and other work. Sim City will be maintained and

Compare that to what other athletes do in their sports and it seems trivial. The Tour de France involves racing your bike for 130 miles a day, every day for a month, over mountains multiple times a day.

So Apple should support only standards that directly benefit their hardware? That's exactly problem OP is talking about.

I must not understand Baseball well, because it strikes me as one of the least fatiguing sports that there are.

I would be very surprised. Think about how much of what Snowden revealed reflected poorly on the Obama administration.

You need to list all that copying that was done on your resume. What better way to prove your skills than to show how much people are copying you.
