Speaking anecdotally, at least: I don't think the lack of publicly available software is necessarily evidence that AI tools are ineffective. From the limited perspective I have as a senior developer working in industry, I think that: 1

The later versions of Flash supported a Stage3D object, which was basically a Flash version of what you’d expect today from WebGL. It was hardware accelerated (with a software rendering fallback, if I remember correctly) and supported anti

A common solution is to have the server track which state frames that the clients have acknowledged receiving. The server can then delta compress from that client’s frame, for each client. It’s a bit more costly on the server side, as it me

You're correct. The spec only specifies that "onFulfilled or onRejected must not be called until the execution context stack contains only platform code." This doesn't require that the implementation use the same macro-t

The earliest concepts for the game were quite different than Doom. You were supposed to be playing a Thor-like character named Quake, who wielded a giant hammer.

I've experienced quite a bit of nausea from goggle only VR products like GearVR. Even the menu was enough to get me sick -- moving my head forward without the menu changing distance with me seemed to make my body think I should feel mo

Multiplayer gaming is a legitimate use of data channels, but I don't see why it couldn't prompt for permission.

Just wanted to point out that that isn't the JS you know because that's just typing information -- it isn't generating any code at all, it's telling TS what the types look like for Underscore's external methods. Thi

This is really cool! If you look at the source, it appears that the images themselves are defined as JS code, almost like a vector image. For example, Zeus: http://essenmitsosse.de/pixel/scripts/zeus.px The author

Unfortunately, nginx doesn't allow you to set custom headers for error responses by default. You need to add something like the ngx_headers_more[1] plugin for that. [1]: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpHeadersMoreModule

After a cross country move to a remote coastal town, my wife and I were left at our destination with only a small portion of our possessions. The rest of our stuff was making its way there with the hired movers. I got into a strange situati

Definitely feels like an improvement on Cuba! I'm not a huge fan of the `is` method here, though. I feel like you could get the same thing from a terser DSL if you treated HTTP methods as terminators and only allowed `on` to filter the

This is a great way to explain it. My wife used to suggest that I work on a side project of mine when I had a few free minutes here or there. I had a hard time explaining why it wasn't really worth the effort unless I could work on it

In my years of mentoring and tutoring, I've run into a number of students of programming (and, indeed, teachers) with the same problem. Programming is about problem solving first, and teaching programming is about teaching someone to l

I see arguments about whether or not Amazon Instant Video is worth the money, but I think that's beside the point, isn't it? The important part of the discussion here is that Amazon Instant Video is not of interest to a large numb

It could be that the ranking prior to the swap is continuing to have some lasting effect on the sites after the swap. It would be worth doing the same test on new domains (with new content), to be sure there weren't any side effects from

In my mind, this usage of parenthesis is less ambiguous. Parenthesis are used in C-like languages for both function calls and order of operations. That is to say, they are used in these two ways: foo(a, b, c) // functions (a + b)

Yes. iTunes on your desktop machine can store (and update) apps that you are not currently syncing to the device. Then, when syncing the iPad, you can check a box in iTunes to indicate that the app should be included on the device.
