Maybe it's just me, but isn't JavaScript still looked down on? There's a reason languages are being written on top of it, and lots of frameworks to patch up the terrible usability of it. Just because it's popular…
Unreal Engine is the most used Game Engine in the industry (not counting indie/mobile games w/ Unity), especially for AAA games. HeartBreak shared the list. For professional development the Unreal Engine makes it…
I don't think he's saying cars are bad, he's pointing out lots of flaws in the design of roads and living areas. He's bringing up the inefficiencies that lifestyle has, suburbia he argues brings a lot of inefficiencies.…
Even with C++, a modern flexible C++ game engine should be mostly data driven. For flexibility and being able to have faster iteration times, changing data at run-time and seeing results almost instantly is necessary,…
Another name for this style of wrapper, with some extra functionality, is known as a Scope Guard. Wiki page: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms/Scope_Guar... Clean implementation:…
It sounds to me what you're trying to do is essentially what a Scope Guard is for. Here's a wiki on them: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms/Scope_Guar... And here's a nice and clean implementation of one…
The buffering tends to be pretty bad for me, not very aggressive or just bad. The initial loading takes a little long, especially considering I'm on fiber at work right now. This 1080p video isn't buffering very…
I don't know what other people's issues are with it, but generally the experience isn't entirely smooth, and for some things there aren't fallback methods when problems arise things just go to shit. My recent negative…
I generally agree. This isn't always the case, but I'd guess on average across the entire industry from large to small across the world it is.
A friend of mine when he graduated got a base developer salary of $90k in 2011, shares & benefits (whatever that works out to), and I think $10k bonus for every year he stayed with Amazon. He worked in the Seattle, WA,…
With cost of living going up, minimum wage going up, you think business would think to bump their base wages up to account for cost of living. But not everyone does, and some that do don't do it by much. One example is…
Not the best comparison points when you're comparing the most expensive places to live in the United States. L.A. is still kind of expensive compared to everywhere else besides those mentioned. My gf and I are…
I don't live in the Bay Area, but I live in L.A.. Cost of living wise it feels like I do. I can't believe how much money goes to rent, and paying for lots of gas for commuting. The urban sprawl with lack of a good…
Where do you live and what kind of salary are you talking about?
On the main page Lumberyard is described as a 3D game engine, which is the case because it's based off of the 3D CryEngine game engine. If they're to add 2D support, it'll probably be a while. And it'll likely be…
That support should be coming. As far as I heard, they're trying to create one cross platform gaming ecosystem based on their services/platforms. From the FAQ: "Mobile support for iOS and Android devices is coming soon,…
I don't agree with great hardware, if we're talking about durability and easily fixable. At least the Macbook line seems designed to fail after a number of years or be too expensive to continue fixing in favor of buying…
Switching from Java to C# doesn't offer any HUGE advantages to the end user. Switching to C++ does, granted with some drawbacks depending on how mods are handled, if they're going to be portable or not. If Microsoft is…
Yes, but in titles most words are capitalized. If you look on the visualstudio.com page that is the case, though they're not very consistent.
That people are contributing free work for someone else (Epic) to make money off of. Yes, I think they're suggesting to put that effort towards an open source engine, or towards a company that will reward you in some…
I agree with this sentiment, it's why I personally choose not to contribute to UE4. I want to see a profit sharing or bug/feature bounties either from Epic with Unreal Engine, or from a competitor. A side note: I…
I don't use Twitter for having in depth conversations in those fields I'm interested in. I use it for finding and sharing the sites and articles where you do go into depth. With the amount of people invested in Twitter,…
You assume that JVM is slow, yes? That's not always the case. Interestingly, there's cases where JVM applications run just as fast as if not faster than native code. This blows my mind, as a C++ programmer myself.…
How do you get an application like this setup with a phone number and interacting with other numbers? Curious if you have to rely on a particular service with recurring monthly charges or not.
A few examples of editors that don't: Notepad++, ATOM, Nano, etc.
