True. Although, when I was at Dreamworks, they had a dedicated pipe between their two office locations and one to a offsite rendering center in New Mexico. I know they were having trouble still (even with a private dedicated pipe) transferr

The major problem for cloud-based services for studio pipelines is: 1) There are are large amount of assets that need to be sent over to the cloud. In my experience this can go up to several gigabytes per frame if you count CFX, FX, Rigs, e

If you have a large domain with a large number of N circles, you could try using a B-Tree like approach. Basically partitioning your domain in a N-Tree (instead of a traditional quad-tree). The wide branching factor per node will give you a

I once worked at a "startup" that was the anti-culture. It hired a programmer after the current team had turned them down. That person was hired b/c she was a recommendation from of the VPs friends. At one point, we had more "Managers" in t

When I used to live in LA I used to be so dependent on my car, not to mention the hassle of finding parking wherever I went. Since then, I got rid of my car and have lived in SF, NY. I haven't had a need to own a car in any of these places.

The current education system was built during the industrial revolution and for the time I think it worked great. The problem is that the world has changed since then, information is more fluid and free-flowing. People are exposed to a wide

Has anyone looked at lock-free data structures and algorithms in projects with large amounts of concurrency? The approach looks promising but it's unclear how practical it is.

A lot of creativity comes from the most unexpected of sources. When you are not thinking about a problem or thinking about something unrelated, some neuron fires and makes connections with some subconscious notion of your original problem.

One of the best things I've done recently is get rid of my TV and Netflix account (to avoid streaming on my laptop). I've also got rid of my internet connection (so I can't mindless browse the net). When I do need the internet I usually jus

Has anyone tried out Amazon Studios: http://studios.amazon.com/ ? That seems to be a big step in this direction. Amazon.com has already created a big threat in the publishing industry with e-books and self-publishing. I think hollywood is

Goals are important so that you know where you are headed, otherwise I tend to stagnate and not amount to much. I need a direction to go in. But I think it is important to keep in mind that goals are just a direction, they do not define the

Is there performance benchmark comparing Haskell and Erlang? I hear Erlang is also quite performant when handling a large number of requests, but no hard numbers. Are there similar web frameworks for Erlang as Yesod for Haskell? Also, what

Plain and simple, the existence of piracy is not due to the lack of legislation but due to market failure. I find that many people are more than happy to pay for good service and good products -- even if there are cheaper/free alternatives.

I've tried Monophasic sleep, Polyphasic sleep, the uberman cycle, the every-man cycle, and just about every other sleep cycle. I find that the best pattern that works for me is bi-phasic sleeping. I think we are naturally biphasic sleepers.

I will start by saying that for someone to do 7 startups and also travel the world, well that is pretty impressive. A lot of "making it" has to do with timing. I would say that you need to keep at it and don't give up. The worst thing you c
