Any chance for a Samsung Gear VR version? Cardboard is a great ecosystem, but the tracking and latency on Gear VR is just leaps and bounds above what cardboard can do (the GVR unit has its' own low-latency sensors).
I really wish AMD would promote this type of thing more heavily in general (having advanced features that Nvidia restricts to their high-cost cards). I seem to remember a similar thing with AMD being fantastic for…
A bit younger (I was in my last year of primary school when I graduated from the C64 to the Amiga 2000). I fondly remember reading through the back of the Amiga 2000 reference manual (the ring-bound one) on Christmas…
A friend pointed out to me that his stance is even funnier when you consider this: http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/03/neil-young-confirms-ne... The sad part is that his PR has probably achieved what they wanted to. I…
Absolutely. When you listen to a violin live, you're of course not just getting the violin, but you're getting all the reverb of the environment, the spatial cues created by sound bouncing off your body and around your…
EDIT: Just a bit more context. Neil Young has been trying to sell an 'audiophile' grade audio player. This post seems like nothing more than trying to stealthily promote the supposed virtues of his own product. I'm…
No I don't think that's anything particular to do with the fact that one is iOS and one is Android; Google's OWN YouTube apps are inconsistent. The Android TV YouTube app, for example, has no way to subscribe to a…
It's interesting that you mention YouTube, because the thing that finally convinced me that a 'web app' could be indistinguishable from a native app was YouTube's Leanback interface (YouTube TV). Check it out:…
I totally agree with this. The main point I want to put across is that it's unfortunate that as software engineers, we have somewhat of a tendency to feel guilty for what we do earn and as a whole profession we can be…
It gets more complicated when you ask the question "How much money is the software engineer making for the company vs. what the company pays them?" For argument's sake, let's say you're paid $80K per year. On the one…
Going to sound a bit cynical here, but really isn't $30 million just spare change to a VC? To us we see $30 million and think "that's a ton of money!! how could he get that funding?" but to the VC it's like "Here's a…
Relevant talk by 'Uncle Bob' about how Scrum became what it is now, as opposed to what it was intended to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG4LH6P8Syk
I agree with you in principle but find that code editors let me down in that regard. Say I split a function up into a few sub-functions because it's getting big. Now I have the problem that I'm jumping forwards and…
I continually find this idea that there aren't older developers really really strange, from my own experience. Every job I've had has included me being on the younger end of the spectrum and developers a lot older than…
Possibly a bit off-topic, but I find the Haskell teaching materials on FP Complete great but I've always been a bit confused about their IDE. It's web-only right? Could I use it to develop something that uses local…
You phrased that way better than I did. That's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about.
That's a fair criticism and I do find communicating WHY something is difficult, especially to a manager who doesn't code, to be a challenge at times. It is something I'm conscious of and I'm working on. I agree that…
Why do you say that recursion is a poor programming practice (curious)? What if the solution using recursion results in more readable or declarative code? (especially with languages/compilers that do tail-call…
Anyone that hates Agile should watch this and at least be comforted by the fact that the community that came up with agile in the first place do recognize that there are problems and that it has become something…
Here's what I want as a software engineer. I want to be respected for my opinion. If I say that a customer change is a complicated task, I think it's great if my manager engages me and takes me to task on why I think…
I think you're absolutely right. This touches on the de-emphasis of game mechanics in modern games in favor of story-telling (see 'The Order' as an extreme example of this -- I'm not saying this to criticize the game, I…
Spiderweb games are very highly regarded RPGs that came from the PC. I definitely know TouchArcade has covered their games a few times over the years.
I didn't really get that from the post myself - I read it more as just "the amount of effort we'd need to put in to get it working again just isn't worth it given the sales we have on the platform". It really just…
