If you just care about a spinning cube, then OpenGL or Direct 3D is not the answer. Use a 3D framework that manages your mesh for you. There are plenty out there.
Steam already allow me to start a game on Linux, and continue playing it on my Macbook while on the road. It's another case of Microsoft playing catch-up while trying to sound innovative.
Of course! Those 'scientist' worry about making the details of the lander and the moon surface 100% realistic but forget to photoshop a couple of stars in the background. Silly 'scientists'.
They want to get Windows 10 out there to give more people access to their walled-garden online store so that they can woo developers to write apps for the store. It's much more appealing to write apps for Win10 if there are actual user for the platform. Chicken and egg problem.
They are bloating the chicken in the hopes that more eggs come out.
If they can't find anything on their laptop, could it be they are actually running Windows 8? It's the only mainstream desktop environment that I know of that makes it obtuse to find anything.
From the post: "Musk's success would not have been possible without, among other things, government funding for basic research and subsidies for electric cars and solar panels. Above all, he has benefited from a long series of innovations in batteries, solar cells, and space travel."
But was Musk the only one to receive those subsidies and benefit from those innovation? He stood on the shoulder of giants, but he was the one to make it a reality. That is the difference between the average and the great IMHO.

What???
When the CIA listens in on phone conversation it's convenience?
> Even so, the logic for the pacman ghosts is actually rather simple.
Actually I would say that it was _not_ simple--especially for the time. It would have been simpler to have all the ghost share a common algorithm.
But does GLUT support Vulcan? And if so, should it be call GLUTan? ;)

As a developer working with OpenGL, I think that Vulcan is what OpenGL 3/4 should have been.

GOG is not that far behind either.
Steam is having enough difficultly convincing developers to sell a game for three platform. How are developers and publisher going to gobble this up?
I think that Mass Effect, Tomb Raider and Dragon Age fall more in the RPG category. Not quite the same.

> LLVM is also hugely important.
Thank you! I depend on it every day.
But I'm a developer. I work in monospace!
...but if it pisses you off, I'll go back to plain text.
...as soon as Slashdot fixes the Options dialog that is broken for me right now...
What? My comment was modded down with '100% Overrated'...but there are no other rating. How can it be overrated?

From the summary: "A report by _the_ IBM..."
As opposed to just an IBM?

I never knew about Popcorn Time...now--thanks to your marketing--I do.
I'm sure Microsoft is tickled pink. Vendor lock-in wins over open standards.
Dr. Frances Kelsey was also Canadian. Just an FYI.

...and Oracle is doing everything in their power to kill Java on the client.
I second that!
std::vector is an array--not a linked list. For list, use std::list, or even better: boost::instrusive::list.
Since when did we decide that it's OK for computers to make those type of decisions--and not allow human beings to reverse it?
The headline should read that a developer downloaded an SDK, tweaked a demo in the SDK, and uploaded it to the web. Then wrote an TFA about out.
True. Swift does not use GC but uses reference counting...which can be worst than garbage collection in some circumstances. :P
