If your engine is sooooo complicated that creating a simple scene to show progress is too hard, then you already failed at technology.
You could easily have small deliverables or demo to show that what you have works: - Create a context, show a simple triangle - Add texture, shaders support, maybe lighting with hardcoded data in the renderer - Load textures and shaders as assets (probably requires changing the buildsystem and asset loader) - Load geometry, levels... - Controls working - Sound effects working
That way, you can make sure that every single step is working. If you don't have anything renderer until the last few weeks, then you clearly have an issue...
Or Sony and Apple too, for which their application store is geoblocked.
In an age where people move freely in Europe, your account for those is locked to one country and you can't really change it easily.
My French PSN account subscription couldn't be renewed using my Swedish credit card. I managed to find a proper online video game store that would just sell serial codes for the PSN and accept my Swedish credit card. I effectively worked around their limitations, but it was very annoying.
And then, my French Apple account could be "moved" to Sweden, but I would have to "buy" everything again (then it would discover I already had a license for some content and not bill me). That's not ok either, as some apps where actually different versions and it did bill me for some. I paid twice for the same thing because of virtual borders online within EU.
When I worked in Paris, I lived in the suburbs surrounding Paris and worked in another one.
Public transport was easily 1h30m of traveling time. I would have to go through the town center and back. Share the train with all the people with the flu, suffer the unpredictability of the Parisian public transport.
In my car, it was a solid 20 minutes, and I never caught the flu. I was saving 2 hours everyday thanks to my car.
I'm not saying it's perfect for everyone, but for some people, it's definitely really great. Would I ever take the public transport again? Probably, if there were better routes around, not like this though.
Well, I'm using a French Mac layout and I can type ALL French letters, program and also type in Swedish using some Cmd+Key combo. Sure, I don't have the keys available right away, but it works. Also, on a Mac, Caps Lock really makes an uppercase letter, so it's easy to type an uppercase one with accent. But typography rules use to say it was alright not to put accents on uppercase letters. To that, you should add the fact that a LOT of people don't know how to write French properly and make tons of spelling errors when they write or type. I wouldn't expect most of them to care about any special characters or the proper uppercase letter!
Sure, I don't use anything but my credit card in Sweden. The only times I'm using cash is when I go to a night club and they don't always take credit cards and they will redirect you to an ATM located nearby. Super annoying. I won't complain if I don't have to use cash anymore...
The first link in the article is pointing to the CNRS news website, which is part of the organization that made the research, that's a fair one. The second link paraphrasing the first one doesn't add value though...
Well, that would also mean that only one person is working in your family and paying for everything, which means that you probably shouldn't necessarily expect to have tons of leftovers every month. If you add another salary in there, it will make things much easier for you to add fun stuff to the budget, or even spendings for any children you might have.
That's only because they can also play way more advanced games. So the hardware is beefier and generally uses more power. But if they only wanted the same features as in the Apple TV, their software could be used in a smaller integrated device with the same power requirements. Think Intel NUC for example.
Semantics. There's no brutality in this attack, hence the name brute force shouldn't be applied. He isn't pushing the system to the limits while going through all the possible values, which is what happens in traditional brute force attacks. The ban on that type of attack is to prevent the researchers to overload the servers. This can't put any noticeable load on the server at all.
This isn't a BRUTE force attack. This is just a force attack. If a server has an issue with 10k requests at night when nobody is using it over a few hours, then they have much bigger problems!
In the country where I live and get Netflix, everything is subtitled. And I can't even disable them for most content. I should probably sue them too for hiding 0.1% of the pixels on screen with stuff I don't care about!
I've actually seen lots of bread recipes that make use of "cups". Bread is actually sensitive to small differences. If you don't have a precise "cup" of flour or liquids, your bread can totally be different!
Of course, if you're serious about it, you're not going to look at those recipes as they aren't inherently good. Making bread requires some experience as the current temperature, ambiant humidity or flour can be different from room to room, let alone countries to countries. And still, people look at those and say that it isn't a good recipe as they didn't get the same result as you...
Cooking is about precision. I wouldn't use volume to mesure flour, just the same way I wouldn't use the time it takes to drop out of the flour box to mesure it. "Drop flour for 3 seconds in a bowl..."
So it means they will be supporting only 64bit machines on 10.6, and there's probably few of them since they are likely to have upgraded to newer versions of OSX, unlike all the 32bit machines that are stuck on 10.6 and that should make the majority of 10.6 users. Am I right?
Isn't iMessage always associated with an email address too? Wouldn't it be easy to send an email to people when they haven't received a message after a day? There could be a link in the email telling people how to remove their phone number from the service and receive subsequent messages directly as SMS if they switched phone.
You should consider a sword and shield to defend yourself, they are less likely to fail. Or a small dagger eventually if your place is not big enough to swing a sword around. If you need to fight long distance, consider a bow and arrow. According to the Predator documentary, it even works against aliens with superior technology.
People aren't very good about checking the condition of their gun either. Or if the safety is off. Or if it's loaded. Or if the kid didn't move it from the usual place when he showed it to his friends.
There's already a lot of uncertainty. You can't be sure of anything if you don't take care of it. So no, a battery isn't an issue, it's another safety.
It isn't forbidden to read emails, it is forbidden for employers to require the employees to read them or be reachable through their personal or company phone. Employees must be allowed to have a 11h "blackout" between two consecutive working days and 35h during weekends. If an employee wants to read emails and do extra work, it's up to him, but it can't be imposed.
And this is an agreement just for some business types (mainly IT related), not everyone.
Now we have a new AMD card that can generate more OpenGL errors per second!
Seriously, working with AMD is hard. Their OpenGL implementation never works properly and we always need workarounds to get the job done. NVidia on the other hand has always been working better for me as a developer.
Nothing prevents you to put a link to the binaries on your website. And if you can't afford a to host a website, there are still file hosting service happy to finally get some legal files.
When I was traveling to the USA with my European phone (iPhone 4S with 3G) last year, I took a prepaid card at T-Mobile and it worked fine for me. The vendor told me the 3G *could* work but since they were deploying the network (at the same time they deploy LTE), I shouldn't count on it (I was in SF then). 3G worked when I exited the shop and put the new SIM card for about 20 minutes, then it fell back to Edge for 99% of my 6 weeks trip.
I traveled on the east and west coast and only had 3G another time, at the top of my hotel in Manhattan at night, just after Sandy. Since most of the towers were down (because of the hurricane) that was a quite good surprise and I could Skype my family to tell them I was OK. Then, when I left, my iPhone told me I was connected to AT&T 5G. Never understood why, but it was fun to see (should have taken a screenshot!).
For a 50$ plan with unlimited voice, text and data (of which 500MB of data high speed then low speeds) that was quite nice. Should they get a better high speed coverage, it would be definitely the best you can get when traveling in the USA.

I don't know, I don't have much experience and only worked on a few console games and emulators!

Switching to 64 bit builds means that they will have to drop OSX 10.6, right? It's about time this one is left behind!

I gave my imaginary friend a 1000 miles ride the other day.
Now, I want real people to take me wherever with those miles.

Nothing prevents you to put a link to the binaries on your website. And if you can't afford a to host a website, there are still file hosting service happy to finally get some legal files.
Also, you know, there were some malware abusing the system and downloading some files on some popular legitimate projects ( http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-TDL-Malware-Variant-Uses-Chromium-Embedded-Framework-339791.shtml ). I don't know many projects affected beside this one and I'm sure Google knows better and this move wasn't just to mess around with legitimate users and reduce the costs.
Unfortunately, this is the sad truth: life's unfair.
