I took this course at UBC and it was great. Programming postscript to render 3D animated shapes was mind-blowing. Especially cool was that you needed to build everything from scratch

AI programmer here...generally "bots" are just AI that is intended to take the place of a player (typically in a versus setting and not a co-op setting). If anything bots are tougher to make then "normal" AI since their

Surprisingly realistic suggestion from the "radical" Richard Stallman.

Too bad it doesn't matter at all what you personally recognize. I happen to agree with you. And it does suck that reason has anything to do with this stuff. It's about money and control. This is just another example of a few people or corpo

There's one reason why open plan will always rule over individual offices or 3-4 person team rooms: you can fit more people into open plans. If square footage matters to your bottom line (ie your office isn't out in the warehouse district)

Exactly. Saying that this is just the way it is is ludicrous. They could under sufficient pressure change the wording so that they aren't assuming ownership or unlimited use and that it is something more akin to fair use.

There's been a couple of these types of articles on here lately. All of them break down into "Programming is broken because I can't just say to a computer what I want and have it created for me". We have to specify the process gets somethin

What a dolt. It's possible to tell the compiler that two pointers aren't aliases: the "restrict" keyword. Unless I'm mistaken that is really his sole argument against "pointer-based languages".

If he can't say that it's easy to measure whether someone is 10x more productive than the average programmer then how can he say they are 10x more effective? Also I work at 200 person game company and there is no programmer that even perfor

Regarding the question about whether it's fair to call this an AI library...well it's kind of a valid question. But really this is game AI which is isn't trying to be Artificial Intelligence, it's just the subject of making game agents perf

What a ridiculous argument (something of a given intelligence can not possibly create something more intelligent)! It's kind of like saying no one who can only run at 15 miles per hour could ever create something that can go faster than 15

We get royalty money in the games industry. Of course it depends on the project deal, but often once the game has sold a certain number of units royalty checks start coming in. For very successful games these checks can be quite large.

It's not that hard parsing template compiler errors (though I am looking forward to better errors in C++0x). Are you saying this is a good reason not to use templates at all? With a little practice they start to make sense. I'm sure for nov

This doesn't make sense. You're saying adding lambdas doesn't help you solve any problems that can't already be solved in C++, but if you want to solve some of those problems you should use a language that supports lambdas?

Garbage study. They only looked at vegetables as a group - which probably included potatoes and the like (possibly in the form of french fries). They didn't look at particular subclasses of vegetables. And they also didn't look at raw versu

"But accepting mind as a physical entity does not tell us what kind of physical entity it is. It could be a physical system that cannot be recreated by a computer." Child Please. Why is anybody even listening to this kook?
