His point is that many studios nowadays use an established engine and do not develop in the C++-from-scratch-style. Especially smaller studios do not have the capacity for this and also depend much more on cross-platform availability to gen

For many projects you won't need that complexity. You just want to directly map basic matrix operations to the usual BLAS/LAPACK calls. Fortran 90+ does that job well, for instance, and performance will usually be better than a C+

So, the solution to bad debug performance is essentially YAGNI? I'm afraid that isn't a very convincing argument. If your code is several orders of magnitude slower in debug mode, then this is a problem. Simply downplaying this

Maybe. But the people who have dedicated ereaders are usually those who read a lot and are passionate about quality ebooks. I'm sick of buying ebooks at Amazon, jumping through hoops only to get it onto my Kobo, and then find it has we

The average user will use whatever Amazon, Apple, Kobo et al. provide. Just like the average user is happy with Spotify and iTunes and has never heard of Bandcamp. If something like Bubblin wants to succeed, it needs to cater to those users

From a user's perspective: The main point of Bandcamp is that you actually own what you buy. No DRM, no additional charge for lossless, properly tagged, including cover art, everything in a perfectly normal ZIP anybody can use and nobo

David Whittaker was my favorite back in the day. Sometimes I fired up "Feud" simply to listen to the music. It was funny to hear his "Lazy Jones" track later in the clubs, albeit covered by Zombie Nation.

While I think it's great when kids create content, what really scares me are the comments. Youtube is often times such a cesspool, I wouldn't want my kid to interact with that as a creator. How do you handle that?

Olive oil is non-toxic, yet if you heat it up too much, you'll get a good dose of acrolein. Just because something is non-toxic does not mean it stays that way if you heat it up.

Anyone with a working nose cannot be really surprised about that, especially w.r.t. ABS printing. There's a reason why things that burn/melt things usually have an exhaust of some kind. I'm sure those will become mandatory at

Thankfully, compiler warnings and static analyzers have become much better in recent years. For instance, gcc can now warn about a missing 'break;' mentioned in the article (you need to add a special comment like '/* fal

It's not hard to find VSTs which will easily max out an i7, especially if they run on Max/MSP. Also, stuff from u-he, like Diva. If you run several instances on high-quality you'll usually need to start freezing tracks.

Not my experience. I've had stutters with Ableton Live on a 4 core machine with 2 cores still idling around. Ableton cannot multi-thread a single track (at least in Version 9), and if you're using a single-threaded VST that does n

I would think that compilation is faster on the 32Core, but linking is much slower.

This is the perfect chip for continuous, low-memory number crunching. For everything else... not so much. I mean, this chip consumes 74W when idle, of which almost 90% are spend on the interconnect. That's insane. Most important bit

They do a compilation of Chrome in the "Office Tests" section. The 32Core takes about an hour per compile, but the 16Core is actually a bit faster (my guess would be that linking takes longer on the 32 core machine as it's ve

Two main reasons: Many warnings that a static analyzer will emit are quite costly to detect, so the compilation would get slower. And since compilation speed is an important benchmark (if not the most important), one would usually not sacri

No, that's not blackmail. You can only blackmail through exclusive knowledge. If they tested your code, then I'll assume your code is out there in the open, so anyone can run your code through a static analyzer and write a blog po

Agreed. Another example would be gaming with the keyboard - latencies are surely much more noticeable here. I would guess it is similar to music making, where you strive for latencies <10ms.
