I don't like Netanyahu, nor I elected him - However, like other mentioned, he's world class politician. And I agree.
Why? He goes to US, asking for stuff military aid, relations are not good so no body fucking cares.
He needs some attentions form US public, hmm... Will he do that?
You get the point. Really nice move.
I've been Slashdot user since I don't know when (really couldn't check - but see my user id?).
This is the first time I see this kind of article about Israel on this site.
And why this worries me? Because when I come to./ I expect reading about gcc, C++, Linux and perhaps other shit. Not about Mr. Netanyahu my ass hole PM thank you.
Is this now turned into geo-political site? Just because the statement was made on Facebook? Or by Israeli PM? Really? Keep this kind of things out of here plz.
We had an issue with the Apache server crashing after X amount of time.
The solution (by lead developer)? A cronjob that restarts the server every X hours.
Good comment.
Now I know something about this game, the newsletters they send are shitty. I got the most basic package I could in Kickstarter (£20) at the time.
Oh, Oh! I get it now.
I will have my free Windows 9 upgrade, not a real Windows it appears, than i'll have to buy Windows 10.
have the feeling I will ending up installed gentoo on my laptop as well.
Let's admit it, in 2014 restricting usage of software in weapon systems is another way of saying: "I want new enemies".
It is wrong, but true. I think GPL is not about weapon usage, it's about software, basic freedom, and the combination of both.
It's up to us humans if we are 'evil' or 'good', involving a software licence into this just seems wrong to me.
I will admit it was nice try at first... but now it's just a pile of commercial crap floating around the Internet.
I urge the GNU/Linux community send it to the recycling plant.
Canonical is commercial company.
They should fund and pay for the research and development of Ubuntu Edge themselves.
Their CEO is Jane Silber, and she should get going and find some investments, looks like she's a bit lazy. because instead of doing that they decided to to utilize an Indie crowd-funding platform to fund this project? I wonder how did IndieGoGo even allowed this to happen (I guess they wanted some traffic and $$$). It's a clinical use of their platform by a commercial company that does not deserve to use such platforms.
Scala and Go would be good alternatives.
Lua + LuaJIT is can be interesting too.

PHP 5.5.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
At my work place we have a lot of "PHP programs running as scripts", at least 10 a day in crontab. Also our build system is written in PHP.
Not saying it's the best tool for the job, but it's a job PHP can do.
Agreed.
They had so many opportunities to correct their awful ways in the last 20 years, they used none of them.
I feel the game is finally over for Microsoft.
They cannot play it anymore, they lost the paper with the rules.
It's a sick company without direction or goal - pretending they are "just fine" for quite some time now.
They are losing the whole gaming industry, not only as a publisher, not only as a console maker but also as a provider of operating system as well. and that's the only way they could have been saved.
C++ is well suited for game development, because it gives you the abstraction level and speed computer games require.
You're not very demanding if you claim that C++ gives you "abstraction levels" of any kind. But then again, historically, game programmers have never been suckers for abstraction levels. They were using assembly instead of Forth in the 1980's, C instead of C++ in the 1990's; these days, I guess they're using whatever in C++ gives them the best speed and skip the rest.
When i said abstraction level i was talking about programming language abstraction (operators, keywords, types), not on the class/object level, from the language point of view C++ is very abstract. language abstraction leads to class abstraction and other abstractions. In fact C++ is defined as "A light-weight abstraction programming language" (Bjarne's 2012 Keynote). Developers should start listening to what he has to say, he's very smart dude.
I'm actually not professional game developer, just an armature one trying to learn and explorer my way to the professional level and create my own games. I am developing web-based client and server software for 15 years, so what can i say... technologies like emscripten just look the answer i was looking for for my needs, desire and long term development.
If you wish people will be able playing your game even in a 100 years or more, you better build them with C or C++.
I view C++ as designed to be completely unfocused. (Although I'd perhaps note that Alexander Stepanov's theory of programming might have had some say in the design of its generic programming features.)
P.S. I'm not interested in C++ OOP or whatever "Stroustrup's latest fly-by-night language" is, and I've been programming computers for 1,337 years, so I'm not interested in your tech credentials either.
While i kind of understand eldavojohn's point of view, C is indeed the one and only answer for some kind of tasks and some kind of games and game components. I cannot agree with him, Mr. Stroustrup created a wonderful abstract computer language, we are (developers) the ones who misunderstood it (completely it seems). C++11 is not C++98.
C++ is well suited for game development, because it gives you the abstraction level and speed computer games require.
ECMAScript implementations are used for game scripting (UnityScript), and with technology like emscripten you get the power of C++ compiled into JavaScript, what more can a game developer ask for really? for all of it to run in your browser maybe?
No.
Common guys, this is not gonna work. Do we need to register thewebsitebay.com so soon?
If all people where smoking marijuana and living in peace, sure DRM would be wonderful.
Unfortunately some a greedy, they just want your worthless money, ya.
DRM would only cause another type of software piracy.
I am a web developer, and i think we will come out with other type of "convenient" ways to protect our software. but thanks.
Epic $#!+ can't come out of sitting in "Building 4, where Bill Gates' office used to be..." and pretending it's hacker's garage. you need a real garage, with real hackers in it, don't think Microsoft's engineers will do the trick.
after many years of using it for development + firebug, i'm unable to use it anymore for development (linux and windows). because it's slow as hell compared to chrome, what's going on?
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, you know, this is exactly what I was thinking reading this... Like maybe Facebook should ban them selfs from advertising.
Flash ads were not replaced by HTML5 ads because of security concerns ...

bye!
now i can get rid of this waste-of-space-8-alien i have on my hd. and it will really accelerate game development on the Linux platform. .
Does the rover have live video stream? I have an idea that involves images of an oasis and some palms.

well, that can be a problem.

you can just plug in a debian kernel in it and you have arch, but gentoo
