If you liked this, you may be interested in Cyril Crassin's Ph.D. Thesis on Gigavoxels, which can be used to do something very similar. http://maverick.inria.fr/Members/Cyril.Crassin/

I do something similar. I try to start most of my comments with "What would happen if...". I find that people are more responsive if they work through it themselves rather than if I'd said "X is wrong, you should have do

I think it was introduced to help with things like lambdas, or other structures that the coder may not know the type of, or it would be difficult to work out the type. Then the usage of auto was expanded to help when writing generic code. I

These things don't make it safe in the security sense. They just help against memory leaks.

The search seems to have some issues. "C ", "C++", "C#" all return the same results. Note: I actually had to type the space after 'C' in the first search string, otherwise the results seemed to be thi

I've been wanting to do this for ages and link it with the USDA's nutritinal database but I just haven't had the time. Is there any way to get hold of what you've done?

The rasterized image they have on that announcement looks like it was rendered with OpenGL 1.2 or something. In reality, today's rasterized image would look almost identical to their raytraced image.

In addition to what everyone else has said about just having more experience, my suggestion is slow down and think... and to use assert a lot! I've noticed that some developers rely way too much on tools to do their job and they just d

I had similar thoughts about the meaning of it all. But I didn't question life per se, I questioned the rat race. "Why am I working all day?", "Why do I spend the best parts of the day in an office?", "Why can&

https://masterthemainframe.com/ is a pretty cool website that intends to teach students how to do this kind of work by using a real IBM Z mainframe. My first job was writing COBOL on an IBM 390. I hated it at the time, but

Is Nvidia that dominant? I don't have any numbers, but I'd be surprised if they had more GFX cards installed than Intel. In the high-end market, sure, but that's not a very big part of the whole story. And as for game console

Until recently, even MSVC was C89. I believe they only added some C99 features because the C++11 standard required them (in VS2013, I believe), and full C99 support only came with VS2015.

I haven't look at this game in particular, but usually you need to buy the original game to get the assests (art, models, audio, etc). Even official open-source releases like the Quake series still require you to buy the original game

You have to bare in mind that it's not really a bug in the original game. This "bug" only effects people modding the game outside of the original plan, and would never have caused a problem otherwise. I'd agree that it&#

I think you're confusing the act of making music with musical notation. This app is clearly trying to teach you how to play music, not how to read notation. I don't see the problem in an alternative notation if it's easier to

I'm always bemused by software developers who are unwilling to pay for software. Especially software they actually use. If software developers don't value software, there is something very wrong with our industry.

I guess burnout means different things to all of us, and is probably caused by different things, too. What I'm about to describe probably wasn't the start of burnout, but I ended up there all the same. I'm currently looking t
