Nintendo also has an incredible track record of not being able to foster healthy relations with third party developers, and being outright hostile to indie developers (see: http://…

I would love to do this, however it is against my employment agreement to develop and sell games on the side. As cool as this would be, I really would like to keep my day job. :(

There's also LoseThos ( http://www.losethos.com/ ), although it's a bit on the eccentric side.

It's not just that you can't fly into busy airspace, it's that you can't fly into airspace where you need to talk to an air traffic controller for VFR flight (class B-D). If you li…

I put together a Linux computer this week based on an Atom D510 (dual core, hyperthreaded). It came to $250 with a 500gb HD, 2gb RAM, case and DVD drive, though I could have saved …

I think whenever the topic of premature optimization comes up most people forget the whole Knuth/Hoare quote: > We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time…

I always see streams brought up as a critique of C++, at least compared to how it is handled by C, and I agree that they are terrible. However, everyone else also agrees that they …

How good of an agent can she be if she was caught?

I just noticed that they don't even feature the Xserve on their main store page anymore.

What kind of job would you be looking to get back into in that week? Would you go back to what you were doing or would you go to anyone with a help wanted sign in the window? I ask…

Good stuff. I had my iPhone stolen a few months ago and I had to buy a replacement through my service provider (Rogers) as Apple wasn't selling them unlocked at the time. I think, …

> As it happens, I do think it is evil that MS limits who can develop what for XBox. Although they restrict who can develop games destined for brick and mortar stores, Microsoft ha…

The article says that it has 8mb of cache per core, shared by four hardware threads.

I don't mind fixing other peoples problems. I will even stay late to do so if asked but if you do so and then fuck off out of the office at 5:00pm you can better believe I'll be do…

And what do you suggest for MSVC, which doesn't support attribute unused or have any comparable declspecs?

If assertions disappear in certain optimized builds then what do you do, or recommend, to deal with warnings related to unused parameters or values if you don't believe that castin…

Also remarkable is that Qantas has had, I believe, no fatal accidents since 1951.

My favorite section is emergency procedures which contains gems like this: "If both the A and B hydraulic systems fail as indicated by illumination of the A HYD and B HYD warning l…

That doesn't address my second point of recouping high development costs. Anyways, they would have to coordinate this with the platform providers which tend to keep things bolted d…

The two problems I see with your analogy to books is that books don't have an ongoing cost for infrastructure maintenance which online services do. I wouldn't put it past EA to fig…

I don't get why people commenting on this article feel that EA is in the wrong here. EA makes nothing off the sales of used games yet currently incurs the cost of providing online …

The list of requirements is made available to the developer well in advance, it isn't arbitrarily made more restrictive by first parties (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft), and every deve…

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are very clear about their restrictions up front and enforce them consistently among licensees. It is very difficult when developing for console platf…

Is this link mirrored anywhere? It seems to have gone down.

I think the geohot hack is just a red herring given that the PS3 Slim was released months before this hack happened and that it had no provision for Other OS installs. It is still …
