I agree. There's little justification for this other than 'I can'. If you need to hit the metal you can inline assembly in both c and c++.

This guy hits a lot of nails on their respective heads, and yes granted there is a culture difference between here and the US. I think the biggest difference between here and the US is there is no stigma attached to having a failed start-up

Sounds to me like he had a difficult chapter coming up in the book he was writing and went looking for a distraction. We've all been there.

This information will only be used to cause harm and bring misery to people when they need help the most. I have private medical insurance through my work. Last year I made two claims, which were covered by the insurance company. However af

This seems to form the basis of a central clearing house, which is exactly what Bitcoin is designed to defeat.

Limit order books need to need to be very very quick as they usually live in exchanges and process a lot of orders. I've written a few limit order books, I found it difficult to beat this approach. Deal with prices as an int not a floa

Thank you, I did not know that. So once split I guess the likely hood is that the coin will never be whole again.

Can someone please answer me this. If a Bitcoin is worth +$1000 and I want to buy an item worth $50. How does one receive change?

It's important, really important. Imagine how sales would be impacted if they had not spent this money and built a crappy controller. Also factor in the suggested tail of the console is 10 years. I just hope they've spent a simila

On a personal note, are you still at BNPP? If so would be great to have a chat.

I think this is brilliant, and if I could charge people £10 a minute for ringing my landline I would. What I don't understand is why the phone agency is recommending that people don't follow his approach ... why exactly?

I agree that's a choice for now, however this style of interviewing is perpetuated and perceived as 'the right way', when it simply isn't.

Stop trying to blur the lines between you, the company, and me the employee. Nothing would make me come into the office on a Sunday and 'hang out' with another employee. Do you really want to fill your company with people who want

I can see how this could be useful for Javascript and web stuff. But it isn't Async, this is in effect a blocking call.

That program is shocking. I'd be interested if there was even a need for threading, perhaps you could have just time stepped your actors with a simple Tick interface. for all actors actor.tick(timeDelta);

Nice to see they've written the parser from scratch rather than some BISON and FLEX construct that generates impenetrable code.

I knew there was a good reason XCode kept telling me it couldn't launch my app as the device was locked. So unless I missed something, if the device is locked this hack doesn't work.

This is pretty neat, although I would suggest perhaps of limited use. The whole point of a 3D model is that it can be viewed from any angle (also at any scale). The 2D scene lacks sufficient information to reconstruct the 3D scene. This ca

Probably worth noting that over time the games industry has become more specialised. The skills listed are essential for working in certain areas, for example rendering, engine work and physics. Knowing how to interpolate a catmull rom spli

'Family filter', what a crock of shit, similar to the crock of shit verdict that GCHQ's use of PRISM was deemed legal (by whom exactly?). We know you want to spy on us, don't use the bleeding hearts at mum's net to

Then I start thinking about when Microsoft were being dragged through the competition and monopolies commission in the US, was this the US Government showing Microsoft what would happen if they didn't cooperate.

I'd heard similar stories about Valve. Unlike many games studios they have a continuous revenue stream in the form of Steam. Would be interesting to see how this 'you have no boss' mentality works during the difficult times.

Just out of interest, given the revelation that the UK is tapping underwater fibres, anyone know if they have a plan to stop doing it? Or they just going to carry on? If they do decide to stop, how do we check?

It's a little like the BBC world service news, which is pretty good (especially compared to sky and cnn and so on), except you can't get it in the UK ... it even has the same presenters that are on the normal BBC 24 News, and 10 o

I remember sitting around my friends house and he showed me AltaVista, I think previously I had been using Yahoo. He said have a go, so I typed some stuff into the box and then it listed a bunch of stuff, "cool eh?", my friend sai
