I've been learning Hangul recently, and now every language that doesn't encode syllables into the writing system just seems immensely flawed to me. Hangul seems like a very intuitive, logical writing system. There are relatively few excepti

I learned a lot from Quake 1. QuakeC [1] was not object oriented, although it had one struct type: an entity. The entity struct had function pointers that were used to attach handlers for various events (touch, think, etc.), but there weren

Does shipments reflect the number of devices manufactured, or the number of devices purchased by consumers? I can't see how the former matters, given the abysmal retail failure of devices like the Playbook.

I like this a lot. It's very difficult to hit the arrow buttons on an iPhone, though. An alternative navigation method or larger hit areas would be helpful.

I loved AQ2. It was such a great blend of unforgiving gameplay and over the top action. The bleeding and kicking were awesome elements. I also liked the low amounts of ammo. Reloading meant throwing away whatever was left in your current cl

There were others before it, too. Action Quake 2 (and its spin-offs, namely Action Half Life, and its creators went on to make CS), Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear, Rocket Arena (in all of its incarnations), The Specialists. I think the Existenc

Great idea! It's a shame it's only available for Eclipse. I would definitely make use of this if it were available as an operating system level plugin for OS X, a la TextExpander.

While that may be true, having a practical understanding of Python is very different from your knowledge of Python after several years of development. Every programming language is full of its own caveats and trusty passages, and experience

I completely disagree with this article. Not too long ago, many in the game industry probably would have said you needed a million to make a game; now, mobile development and indie console development have changed people's perspective. That

A standard way of doing type annotations would also make it possible to generate AS3 code with CoffeeScript.

While I don't disagree that many class action lawsuits are lawyers looking for a pay day, I think there is still value in litigation like this. Class action lawsuits help to ensure that defendants can't get away with doing a small amount of

I think the main problem with this approach is that different parts of your stack have different requirements. One part of your stack might require large amounts of RAM for efficient response times, but may be used infrequently, for instan

Yeah, I did a bit of a double take when the first transparency was pulled. That moment, more than anything else in the video, made me realize how far things have come...

There are definitely use cases. My last employer worked on browser based gaming, and we were forced onto Windows because most of the games we needed to support and work with only ran on Windows. I had a really hard tine getting any signific

Here's a jsperf that tests just the arguments copy via slice, while loop, or for loop: http://jsperf.com/args-copy In the browsers I tested in, it does indeed seem to be significantly faster to copy the array via a normal loop (in Chrome,

The article says that the scammer sent a _screenshot_ of the email (so the email was just photoshopped, and not actually signed by facebook.com).

The article is sparse on details, but the linked MIT news article goes into more depth. Of note, the algorithm was able to win 79% of the games it played. Without textual input, it only won 46%, and a more advanced machine learning algorith

Seems like a lot of the useful content is hidden. I had hopes that they had learned from GitHub, but it still takes multiple clicks to see any code.
