Unreal has had the ability for games to create patches (new exe and changed/additional content) for some time. Distribution and application is generally the harder part of diff patching though and I suspect most early-access games pref

I would say that when you reach the point of being able to accurately represent final CG in realtime, a huge number of possibilities open up :)

I'm one of the engineers working on this, I even make a semi-appearance in the video. I'm not really going to say much about it because it's a little annoying that it leaked out, and by such a crappy recording too, but - a) I

All "cyberbullying" does is prevent the bullying from stopping when the kids go home. That's a pretty big 'all'

There's a big difference between "X would like to access your contacts" and "X would like to access your contacts, then store everything on their servers for reasons/duration of their determination"

It's hard to see this as anything other than someone choosing to go out at the top.

Right, and that lack of bargaining power is because in these days of hefty PCs and standardized software studios can always find other VFX shops, either in the US or abroad, to do a "good enough" job for less. There's zero chance of requiri

by ajg1977 14y ago
Uhh, no. The last thing the US VFX industry needs right now is to become more expensive. The problem is not artists being screwed over pay & benefits, the problem is that most VFX shops are struggling to stay in the black, period. In pa

The article is a little misleading in that it suggests a land-grab. The short links are auto-generated from app names/company names by pruning whitespace, copyright/trademark symbols and so on. So if your app wasn't already called "Banking"

When I installed Windows 8 a few weeks ago, the 64-bit install was about 20GB so where the hell is the other 21GB going? Is the recovery partition literally a mirror image of the default install? That sounds ridiculous because the thing is

I can't speak for this specific case, but when releasing software to others (open sourcing, licensing, etc) it's common to run the codebase through something like Black Duck. Everything that comes up as a false positive needs to be checked

I'm doubtful that a JIT could realistically adapt its output based on runtime performance metrics, but if you have links I'd love to read more.

by ajg1977 14y ago
Well that point is complete nonsense so you should undrive it. Just because a piece of code incurs hardware related performance issues does not mean it's "no longer close to the real machine". Cache misses? Reorder your data, or start inser

Pointless, wasteful bureaucracy I think few people would consider border controls to be any of these things. You were flagged somehow and that sucks, but if you don't like the immigration procedures of the US you are free to either a) liv

I think this is a recent-ish thing. I didn't have to go through it when creating a company account > 18 months ago. I'm not sure what problem Apple were trying to fix.

Medicare is pretty good proof that the government can infact do a decent job of health care. At least compared to private insurance.

Most employees think they have an awesome skill that could contribute to an exciting new project but fewer actually do. The last thing a new project needs is for staffing to be based on maneuvering and people calling in favors. If X has ski

I agree that shows are generally overpriced but you've selected some bad examples - Boardwalk empire had 12 episodes so even at $3 an episode (premium content or HD) that's still less than the $40 you'd pay on Amazon.

Assuming its my company and we're a small outfit I'd love to have them but I wouldn't pay 3x (or even 2x) overhead. 1) At a 3x salary you'll need to lose two other employees and sacrifice the redundancy, idea mix etc that you point out. Red

This post is rather naive and shortsighted. Google is a search company. Owning the platform is Google’s way of making sure they own search. Google does not care about facilitating app sales because they can make 15-30x the money from searc
