I find it surprising that a junior programmer would want to master C++ and I can only encourage you to do it. Mastering modern C++ will make it easy to learn other languages and idioms and it will give you a tool to produce efficient code t

I am not a fan of the medallion system, but Uber does seem to impact the businesses of traditional, local cab drivers while raking in profits on a global scale. It looks like a perfect middle-class job destroying operation that centralizes

This could be really useful for prototyping realtime sfx for games. I am floored by how well it runs on my Moto G, specially the 303 and the subwah patches. Great job!

Millions were killed and forced to convert by christian fanatics during the Crusades, the Inquisition and the "Ages of Discovery". I am Portuguese and find it appalling what was done in the name of Religion back then.

Back in 2001 I was working on an app used in planning optimal routes for city garbage trucks. We quickly found out that this was equivalent to the Traveling Salesman Problem and the initial brute force solution was not fast enough to get re

I loved Another World ( 1991 Amiga game ) and was amazed that the whole thing was done by one guy: Éric Chahi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_World_%28video_game%29

Baselight, IMHO one of the best film non-linear grading systems, was developed and runs in Linux.

We are developing a game engine in C++ that compiles and runs on iOS, Android, Windows and OSX. We use the Marmalade SDK and though there are some issues with it we are actually running the builds on all these environments without issues wh

be careful, I use xylitol regularly for the same reasons but I find that it makes me tired and fuzzy if I take the same amount as sugar. I have suffered a lot with teeth problems since a child, but now at close to 40 I have managed to stabi

It was definitely bad for both of them, however the twin on the high fat low carb diet fared much worse even though he was consuming less calories than the carb binging twin.

On a recent BBC Horizon, two identical twins went for a month on two separate diets. One of the twins ate a high carb low fat diet, the other did the reverse. By the end of the experiment the one with the worse metabolical and biological ou

Apparently the scientist responsible for this discovery is a 30 year old Japanese woman that struggled for 5 years to convince her colleagues that she could be right. She was told more than once that what she was proposing was wrong and tha

What a sad loss... AGG is amazing and I always thought Maxim was a little bit of a genius.

This is interesting. Ideally, if the rendering and audio parts are of high performance enough, it could be used as platform abstraction for game development.

Another one in Portugal please! Political corruption is probably the major cause of my home country's problems.

Is solar powered electrolysis that bad? You could have platforms with solar panels and tanks floating in the ocean and every so often come to harvest the hidrogen and oxygen. Is this a stupid idea?

I left Barcelona in 2007 to come to London and although the cost of living is higher here ( I live in West Hampstead ), salaries and opportunities are also much better. Granted, I spend more money per month in fixed costs than my entire sal

I looked at Juce a while a go when researching native GUI libraries and ended up choosing QT, but seeing that resolume uses Juce I might have another look at it.

In the Edinburgh office wages are much lower than in equivalent positions outside games, and everyone is waiting for a bonus to compensate for the crunch they had to put in to finish the game. I hope they do get a big bonus, my friend is ba

This insistence in demonizing food groups or finding quick fixes by eliminating some sort of magic food stuff is fascinating to me. Isn't it obvious this is incorrect? I mean, go to Japan, where people live on white rice and wheat nood

My understanding of physics is very poor, I was under the impression that only mass produced gravity.

by yeureka 13y ago
I always wondered about this. If changes in gravity propagated faster than light, could you build a transmitter by modulating a gravity field by colliding matter with anti-matter?

In 2007, at the peak of the property boom, I was working in Barcelona as video games programmer earning around 1700€/month after tax. I felt lucky since most people I knew there ( including other programmers ) earned around 1000€ per month.

Mobile phones where not so common at the time ( circa 1995, Portugal), so the guy holding him couldn't tell how much money was in the bank account and how long his "partner" would take to empty it. Large transactions are more difficult to p
