If you think that’s dedication: I met Dominic (DA) who they interviewed in this article almost 20 years ago in the Spanish desert, where taught us Euroburners the art of MOOP cleanup. He’s been at it for a long time now.
I’ve had a similar FAANG experience. They approached me, I made “no relocation” a non-negotiable condition from the start. We started talking, I did the marathon interview until late in the night (CET vs PT), put my…
I would love to see a BeOS/Haiku userland on top, of the Linux Kernel. That would bring wide hardware support, including HW accelerated 3D (something BeOS was always lacking). It is not going to happen though, the…
Linux 20 years ago wasn’t what it is today. Low latency audio for example, that was something that BeOS in the late 90s could do out of the box, a similar experience on Linux required special kernel patches and some…
Not just side projects. We did two feature animations using Blender, more projects in the pipeline: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iZn3kCsw5D8
In my experience, OepnCL in Catalina is about as good or bad as it was in Mojave.
Part of it is pure luck - being at the right place at the right time. An on site internship gave me a foot in the door for my first remote job. After that, I had experience in a certain niche and a couple of open source…
German here as well - the lack of employer flexibility is why in the last 15 years, I have been working exclusively for companies overseas, remotely. I found it much easier to negotiate remote work with an employer…
HIView was up to date and documented, and there were WWDC sessions teaching developers why they should move to HIView and how to do it. Likewise, Apple provided documentation about how to port your Carbon application to…
You have to add all kinds of reference qualifiers (__strong, __weak, ...).
Apple may initially have intended Carbon as temporary, but has changed their stance when they started adding new APIs that never existed in MacOS 9 - HIView/HIWindow was intended to unify Carbon and Cocoa, there was…
QTKit was deprecated, and support for objective-C garbage collection, once praised as the future, was removed altogether.
Absolutely. Not just tabs vs spaces, but also camel case vs underscore, line length, etc.
Besides, we’re already using render farms where each machine has 20+ cores and 256GB RAM. A future render farm might as well be built from machines with specs similar to the new Mac PRo.
Remember the joke of “never underestimate the bandwidth of a 747 full of hard drives”? That’s the render farm. Throw a ton of work at it, and it’ll get done faster than a big single machine could. What would have taken…
I worked as one of several in-house Blender developers on "Next Gen". In some cases, were able to get fixed builds into our artists' hands in within 24h of a bug report. I have not had such a quick turnaround with any…
Our repository is public. You can look at every single commit we did: https://github.com/tangent-animation/blender278/commits/mast... "Normal days" changed during the course of the project. In the beginning, it was work…
And those are still the harmless examples. Look at it from the female perspective: Got a violent ex-husband? A stalker? Are you a teenager who’s walking home alone after school? You have done nothing wrong, but you have…
Interesting. The difference in homelessness between EU and US may just be perception and not reality?
Can’t speak for other countries, but in Germany there is a social security safety net that will pay rent up to a certain apartment size and just barely cover living expenses. It doesn’t eliminate homelessness entirely,…
This will soon be cited by quacks as “evidence“ for their overpriced uselesss therapies. Bioresonance, Homeopathy, Reiki, ...? „Brain cells communicate wirelessly, and my method integrates with that communication!“
Can you please cite the German law for that? To my knowledge, there is nothing in German that is illegal to view, only publishing and in few cases (child pornography) ownership is restricted.
I'm working on it: https://twitter.com/stefan_3d/status/1090607219975045120 It should work on any CPU with SSE4.2 support, which includes all modern AMD CPUs.
Not going to list all fo them, but the one that will have the most immediate impact on not just my life is: "Unconditional Parenting" by Alfie Kohn.
