I see this term used a lot more by investors than tech people. We already had, at least one, "metaverse" in Second Life, right? What's the difference this time? VR? - not with the current delivery mechanisms. Too uncomfortabl

Links of MSDN pages seem like they have a life in weeks. They can be helpful to stumble across but never as a longer term reference.

I don't see why you couldn't keep all versions of a tweet to browse (and allow direct linking to) but just display the most recent with a "This tweet has been modified link" that displays the revisions.

The British government created some tax credits and a company legally took advantage of them. It's a none story and just the Guardian baiting. An actual interesting article would be on the tax credits themselves and if they were a good

I like to listen on desktop and as far as I'm concerned there's nothing good. For Mac I suffer itunes. For Windows, I ended up installing Blue Stacks and using Google's Podcast app. Nothing native or web-based worked well for

This is one of a number of replies to modern C++ not being a good match for modern game development needs. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18777735 I think this is quite an exciting time for realtime software developme

This has not been my experience. Game developers I've worked with have generally been pragmatic and willing to use the best tool for the job. Also triple AAA isn't that old! There's not a generation retiring quite yet :) Peop

That patch might be small but I imagine the path to the patch had more details than mentioned in the article. It would be nice to hear that side of it to. For someone benefiting from the patch it's a great story, from a developer viewp

Are you saying Frances broken door knobs and fondness for kitsch is holding them back?

Definitely agree is very slow - even for "simple" things like echoing lines. The one thing I do like is I can make assumptions about how the scripting language works - like writing a if-statement for instance. This lets me write s

I think net neutrality would do better if was rebranded as the "free market" for the internet. Then it's got a cultural touch point that people already understand.

It interesting, the person I'd say I sound most like in the world is my Dad. Humans often fail to tell us apart on the phone. I assume this is true for a lot of families!

Also the games industry - I'd add soaring content costs for "AAA" games. Trees, crates, terrain, clothing, props from cups to cars etc. etc. these things take and cost a lot to make and the required fidelity only ever increas

I'm using Gumtree for payment and distribution, it's worked very well for me. As for marketing, I've just replied earlier in the thread with a little more detail. For a site with tutorials on game development, most of your re

This is a good idea, and then potentially classes can be recorded and that would be another product (or special tier). I think this applies equally to other similar products.

I very much enjoy anything by Vernor Vinge, who's a computer scientist. He explores the idea of a universe where, in some areas of space, p=np. But it's not a dry read, it's fun stuff. https://www.goodreads.com&#x2

This is really neat. I'd curious to see the movement code they ended up using in their own game, though it's understandable if they don't want to share it.

In game development it tends to help solve some common problems. Games need a lot of iteration, C++ compile times can easily get very long i.e. minutes. You might object that compile times should never be long: "oh this never happens i
