I don't know if it's worth getting into the high-level programming vs. low-level programming debate. A good buddy of mine is a hardcore game programmer and we both give each other crap. He says I'm not a "real programmer", and I tease him a

In case you haven't seen a 64k intro, "Chaos Theory" by Conspiracy is probably the coolest and most impressive one I've ever seen (fullscreen it in 720p for maximum awesomeness): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfuierUvx1A I think it's pro

Or maybe they weren't homeless? Giving unsolicited food to homeless people is sort of like asking a woman when the baby is due. It's also important to remember that they may be homeless but many homeless people still have their pride and fe

I've always seen karma as more of a net effect than a mystical thing. In practical terms, paying the toll of the person behind you may not directly propagate to tolls being paid. However, the recipients are going to be just that much happie

This reminds me of the time back when I used to post on Something Awful, when SA members put together a fund to buy armor plating for a member who was going to Iraq and his platoon. http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/update-from-frontlin

It also doesn't cost "hundreds of thousands, if not millions" of dollars to get a contractor to develop a garage sale-finding app. I mean, I could build a pretty amazing garage sale-finding app for that much, but I think Brandon Tennant eit

The new Case Middle School buildings at Punahou (my alma mater) use something like that, but on a smaller scale. They freeze water at night when electricity is cheaper and then use it for cooling during the day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

I wonder if that's to make it harder to crack FairPlay.

I love this hackery and I'll definitely mess around with it, but in the end it's probably easier just to use the media keys on my keyboard. I don't necessarily feel a huge need for vim to do everything , or I would have switched to emacs i

I trust Carmack's response over pretty much anyone's in matters of rendering engines. The guy is a god of coding them.

From what I can gather, 3D game artists tend to start with high-res models and then reduce the poly count, so it may not be THAT much of a problem. I think it's because a lot of the modeling takes place in more organic editors now.

If you look closely though, there are people of many different real-life races among the Dothraki (I counted white, black, and asian people, not to mention Jason Momoa whose race I have no idea about). Culturally, they seem to be based on t

20 FPS in software is pretty impressive, I wonder (if this is real and if it takes off) how long it will take to see hardware voxel acceleration.

Your typical porn customer will pay for even crappy porn and a crappy site, but we're trying to get at least some of the people who wouldn't normally pay and let the other companies fight over the people who click random junk traffic links.

I think I understand her sentiment. With the adult site I've been working on for a client, we've put things like securing video downloads and preventing password sharing LAST (in fact, we haven't even implemented them yet), in favor of putt

It's configurable, but then you have to map the keys you just replaced, and so on. He uses it with the default keymappings. Arrow keys are kind of discouraged in vim, because a lot of the combo moves (e.g. 10j, y5l, etc.) use hjkl.

It might not be such an issue either, because with a subscription-based game like WoW, item rarity has more value to Blizzard because the longer it takes to get an item the more subscription revenue they get. With Diablo III being a one-tim

Well I mean see if navigating via hjkl makes much sense on a Dvorak layout.

Marking emails as spam willy-nilly can hurt legit companies. I generally only do it if I didn't opt-in, or if they don't provide a one-click unsubscribe or ignore the unsubscribe request. It's good karma to not be a dick.

A while back I converted my big IKEA desk into a standing desk by extending the legs all the way and putting books under it. It worked out amazingly well and I got a ton of stuff done, but you definitely need a tall stool of some kind so yo

A really good programmer who used to work for me swears by Dvorak layout. Which is even stranger because he's a vim user.

I use a Logitech G110 gaming keyboard. The keys are pretty small and took a bit to get used to, but it seems nice and responsive. That being said, I don't think it's worth spending a bunch of time fretting over which keyboard you have. Just
