I'd heard of MakeHuman but not Marvelous Designer (it looks great). Think I'm going to submit an Ask HN, would love a list of these kinds of tools....

A question for those in the know - as a programmer, I've seen a lot of democratization of the game engine side of game programming over the last few years. The price of entry to AAA-level technology has fallen so massively that now an

Lots of interesting stuff in this article. As a tech guy who went to a game programming school, my personal theory about why technical people get hung up on engine development (the old "I'm making my own game and have spent the la

OMFG the premise of TIS-100 sounds amazing! Thanks for making me aware of it. http://www.zachtronics.com/tis-100/

My pet hate is #include files. The whole way that C handles multiple source files just seems archaic to me, having worked in higher-level languages. I wish C had a proper package system that was standard, so I don't have to mess arou

This still seems to suggest some up-front design though. How do you know that the piracy pricing is going to be a significant risk (as pointed out in 3) unless you think through some of its' design? Why wouldn't the engineers the

I don't think the upvote/downvote system here provides enough feedback to the person being voted. There just isn't the information there. For the longest time I was confused at seeing down-voted comments because I mentally a

I can go one better. I also read it as register 'outrage', then read your comment and misread 'outage' as 'outrage' in THAT and then thought you must have mistaken the question for a programming question becau

It's not just a basic logic problem - it's a language translation into a logic problem problem. You have to 'get' that is what you're dealing with. Incidentally, I get a similar feeling from these puzzles that I ge

is there a directory or job site somewhere that specifically deals with commpanies with this kind of culture? I'd LOVE to work at a place which allowed me to work from home most days or which didn't have set office hours, where re

That actually sounds fascinating and changes my thoughts, such that I'll probably pick this up. I've been trying to figure out what bothered me about the way the thesis was presented in the article. I think I picked up on the bit

Something feels wrong about this article; I can't quite put my finger on what it is. It's like a lot of pop-psych claims are being thrown out there with nothing to back them up. I think I'll wait for more Amazon reviews bef

I don't know if you meant for your comment to sound as ageist as it does, but it could really do without that last sentence. The 'golf' quip as well. Sure, some 50 year olds might be tired and out of touch. The same could

I will say is that the Linux ecosystem has Windows beat hands-down when it comes to installing third-party apps and updating them - 'apt-get' is fantastic. OSX confuses me a little in that regard - some apps you copy to the Appli

I wish I could upvote this comment a million times. I see the same kind of ignorance-of-their-options (note I specifically say ignorance-of-their-options; I'm not saying anyone is generally ignorant) reflected when developers complain

Yeah it's f king annoying having the comments go to light gray, ESPECIALLY when downvotes are commonly used as a sign of disagreement rather than "this comment is a troll / abusive". I don't understand the rationa

This reminds me of a cartridge I used to have on my Commodore 64 (don't remember the name off-hand) that came with a piano overlay that you actually sat on top of the C64 keyboard. The overlay was designed to press certain keys down o

How does calling people 'brogrammers' in a derogatory sense make us any different than the supposed 'cool kids' that rejected us? Shouldn't we strive to be better than that? (not saying that you are using the term &

That's the way I started when I first moved out of home - very simply. I still remember wondering how I should cook a steak; how would I know when it was cooked? How do I know what to heat the pan to? Etc.... To go a bit philosophical

That's a valid point, but I wonder how many people just don't complain but would be more productive if this were addressed? The absence of a fix is frustrating but not in and of itself - I know what it's like to have an old c
