Yes, but the intent was to monitor Russian nuclear testing, not just measure gamma radiation in general.

I seem to remember from the Las Vegas Atomic Museum that lightning would indeed trigger false positives in early gamma ray detecting satellites. Edit: The article does note that it was picked up by satellites before but there's conclus

Since O'Reilly no longer has an online storefront, is this the easiest way to get DRM free O'Reilly ebooks?

Spaceplan is pretty great. Glad to see these mechanics maturing into something that can support an engaging story. (Kind of like the progression from Super Mario Bros to recent Mario titles, I suppose!)

Wow, I was going to guess that was illegal anyways, but cppref validates that behavior[0]. 0: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/default_arguments

Only slightly related, but does anyone remember the code puzzles that FB had as a filter for the interview process? Specifically one (jurassic island?) where you would connect to a shared server and take control of a dinosaur on the island.

It's really impressive. I thought I'd be using C++ a lot more when I started seriously digging into UE4, but more and more it's just to make helper functions so the primary logic and asset management can be done in blueprints

We also want orders of magnitude more special effects done! See the Wolf of Wall Street VFX highlights: https://vimeo.com/83523133

I have a feeling that emacs/vim in some form are going to stick around longer than I'll care about using computers to edit text, so it wasn't even on my radar :)

I'm not sure I've seen a text editor that was revolutionary enough that I would consider myself crippled if it didn't stick around.

In fact, there has been a Software Engineering PE exam since 2013. It's not surprising that you don't hear a lot about it because most of the topics on the test would make the average CS student groan (requirements, maintenance, s

I think the inflection point for me preferring reference manuals on computer was when the majority of them transitioned away from being scans to actual documents with hyperlinking in the ToC and index. Too convenient (although searching PDF

I had dual monitors at the office and at home. For me it really depended on where my chair was. I have a slight bias toward the left monitor at home, so my primary activity goes there. At work, my chair was slightly biased towards the right

I wish I could do basic sentiment analysis on the comments to this post. It escalated quickly.

From what I see, google-cloud-gemserver uses gemstash[1] but does not include its source. Am I somehow misunderstanding the accusation "You forked this repo from the Gemstash repo"? [1]: https://github.com/GoogleCl

I don't think it's related to too many chef's in the kitchen. More a reference to chefs having a spotless kitchen at their day job, but a messy kitchen at home. Likewise for plumbers.

There's a lot to be said for the pacing of classes. I embarked on getting a Masters in EE through my alma mater's online program. If I had tried to get through the same content at my own pace,then it would have taken significantly

As you can see, the engine is evolving quite rapidly, so a book might not be a great format. Thankfully the course has active forums at gamedev.tv and the instructors go back to annotate videos if something is completely different. re:Humbl

https://www.udemy.com/unrealcourse/ Not a book, but this course has been the best resource I've found. Just wait for one of Udemy's constant discounts so you don't have to pay more than $10-15 for it.

My preferred method is to work through puzzles in one of those cheap logic magazines[0] while I'm busy with a problem that needs a creative solution. I feel (though this may have no bearing on reality) that the puzzles occupy logic-lov
