We are a tiny dev team using Unity on a non-gaming project and we basically have to dedicate 2-4 weeks of the year to updating Unity and all the mess that it entails. But if you don't update then you have to spend even more time the ne

I'd add this the lack of a solid 3rd party developer ecosystem on their Asset Store. The fact that they don't have a subscription model for assets or any support for managing per-seat licenses is ridiculous and is the direct cause

Yet the support for it still sucks. I spent a few hours trying to set it up the other day and still couldn't get it working. (Unity developer of 6 years here). Maybe I just had one setting wrong.. but this shouldn't be that hard t

I found the 2nd & 3rd books of The Three Body Problem series to be much, much better than the 1st. IMO the 1st is just a bit of pretext for the real story of the series.

This could very well be talking about internal prototypes and internal goals for those prototypes, rather than a timeframe related to consumerizing it.

I dislike FB as much as the next dev here, but surely it's a widely accepted (and beneficial) practice that employees have special privileges in the apps they build. Imagine using this argument to say that Facebook couldn't shut d

I'm not sure what difference it makes but it was actually Google, not Google Ventures, that made the investment. > Google is placing a big bet on it: in addition to the funding, Android and Chrome leader Sundar Pichai will join Magi

Isn't a permanent resident immigrant somebody who has a green card? Surely to be considered American you need to be a citizen, which is separate from a green card. I'm not american so very open to being wrong on this.

How would AR make this more interactive? I haven't seen one AR device with an interaction model as good as VR. I also don't know why you'd want to set the real world while visualizing data. Maybe so you could interact with it

The comment was about underwhelming _sales_ of VR, not the opinion of current VR as an experience. To that point, I completely agree that PSVR is underwhelming and a complete vomit comet. Spend a few hours with the Rift or Vive playing qual

It's an actual term to decribe an entire spectrum of augmented to virtual reality. It's an incredibly confusing term to brand a product that very clearly falls on a specific part of that spectrum. People also fling critique at Mag
