If you have 10 years of C++ experience, that’s 5 years more than the median employed C++ software engineer. That might not be enough to get you fat FAANG cash. But, it will definitely get you “A Job”. You mostly need to be able to talk like

How very human-centric of you ;) It’s not hard to imagine a program of ever increasing complexity, highly redundant, error-prone, yet also stochastically, statically, increasingly effective. The primary pushback from this would be our pathe

Splatting various kinds of blobs is actually an old idea. It’s a branch of point cloud rendering that researchers have been talking about for a couple decades now. What’s new is the technique to create the splats from photos. NeRFs are made

Polygons are great because you can make a solid, closed surface. But, they are a pain because you have to maintain the connectivity between the vertices. Adding or removing polygons in a mesh is serious work. Especially doing so on a GPU. M

I still love that people were attending “live” Hatsune Miku concerts at least as early as 2009 https://youtu.be/jhl5afLEKdo?si=EliZ_rCRooqNP0Jp As was foretold by the anime Macross Plus in 1995.

Steve Jobs started out working on arcade games with Woz. Despite that, I got the impression he didn't care at all for video games. From what I've heard, the person who was originally in charge of the iOS App Store completely dismi

For anyone who wondered "WTF was supposed to be the story behind Xen?" this guys spent way to much time piecing it together and came up with a pretty solid proposal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpp0Jh5514g

There are many Stable Diffusion plugins for Blender. Grey box a scene and “render” it with a prompt.

$1.49? I dunno. I might wait a few months til the hype wears off and the price drops :P Honestly, at that price it’s cheaper to just buy it again than to spend the time digging the CD spool of ancient games out of the box in my basement.

Giant Floating Hand of God is kinda Peter Molyneux‘s thing. Going back to Populous. Lionhead Studios was a spin-off of Bullfrog Productions that made Dungeon Keeper.

Not just sane, but fast too. Compilers have long been able to recognize this algo and will optimize all those bit ops to a single BSWAP assembly instruction as necessary.

IMAX digital is a full-FOV 4:3 4K display with 44 speakers. The Sphere interior is a wrap-around 16K display with 168,000 interference-coordinated speakers. It’s like IMAX squared :P

I get what you are saying. I also received a settlement check from a group of major game & movie studios who admitted to actively colluding to suppress wages. This case isn't even explicit collusion. It's a "That's

The meat of the article is not talking about an injustice to the consumer. It's arguing that there's an injustice to the artist because artists' portfolios are critical to their career advancement. It's not enough to sa

I would guess a combination of tech evolution, legacy code and disagreements between design departments. I once worked at a gamedev company that had an in-house scripting system and a purchased system from an engine fire-sale (not a fire-en

Over the years I’ve seen many examples and articles about how ugly design encourages users to create without anxiety about being judged on quality. Examples include Minecraft, Craigslist and rage comics.

These annotations are really only of interest in performance-critical computations. It’s another knob for library writers to use to make the libraries you use magically faster for their users. And, should be quite rare outside of libraries
