Yes, it's getting very annoying these days, because a lot of times it just comes with different results as I'm expecting.. And what's even worse, if I use the same keywords as a co-worker, he always get's the right results, I always get some garbage which doesn't help me at all... There propably is a way to direct it, but they should make it much easier...
With MS now opensourcing their.NET framework, and more and more crossplatform development enviroments using it, I don't see it happening that it will really go into decline.. Let's not forget C# is a language which is not specifically coupled with.NET..
But what would be the next 'hip' language to do your work in?
Well, if that amiga is still running for over 30 years, it means it's one hell of a computer (have an amiga 500 myself in my garage somewhere).. And if it still works then why replace it.. Also the blah blah million dollar is for replacing the whole system (AC/heating systems included) and not only the computers, otherwise there is something very VERY wrong, as replacing the computer itself with some software shouldn't be more than a couple of grand (mainly due to rewriting the software)..
uhh, not much in the way of good movies on Netflix? So a lot of the disney movies or fox movies aren't good movies? So movies like avengers or Godfather are crap? Hmmm.. then I wonder what you call 'good movies' (ok avengers isn't the best, but it's a big blockbuster)..
As a developer myself, I don't think it's a good idea to make kids learn how to code.. Make them interested and let them do it at home if they want to.. The kids are already burdened with so many more classes these days, why even add more if they can't f-ing read/write or calculate correctly.. So I too see no reason why they should have to study coding at school..
Even Einstein himself said it was a theory and he might be wrong...... Just like any 'laws' of nature aren't set in stone, they are 'laws' created by humans to help us puny humans understand what's going on, at least what we believe is going on... Let's not forget, scientists a long time ago said the world was flat, and if you said otherwise you were a heritic... Now we know better...
the improvements to the PS4 UE4 MIGHT also improve the PC version, but it's not 100%, as the PS4 version is optimized to run on a one specific hardware, which also cut's out a lot of overhead, and that kind of optimization can be very benificial.. If developers got the time to actually know a specific PC GPU's inside out, then there would be a lot of performance increase available, but, it's useless as there are so many different GPU's out there with so many different PC configurations, it's no actual use trying to optimize for a specific configuration.. And that's the advantage the consoles have and why first generation games always look worse as second and certainly third generation games on the same console..
Now they are noisy, but wait a while and you won't notice even one that's hanging above your head for about 2 meters.. Also there are already pretty quiet drones out there with camera's.. But it is one of the things I already expected would happen, next to the modern peeping tom's (which you already see some video's on youtube)..
If you are developing software during your boss his/her time, the rights belong to the company, it's THAT simple.. You even have to be cautious if you are a software developer at work and create other software at home, make sure you have an arrangement in your contract about that, because if you don't and you have a very nasty boss, he can claim right to your software you build at home (because you certainly would have thought about it at work, and sometimes even used algorithmes/structures developed at work).. So if you want to own the right to software developed at work, you'll have to specify that in your contract, but I can almost guarantee you that no boss will do that... And the same goes for software created for a client, make sure the contract specifies who the rights have..
You must be very naive if you think you can own rights to software/algorithmes created at work...
One of the reason why I still haven't updated my Nexus 5 to Android 5.x is due to the looks. I don't like the boring flat look, it's ugly (I also don't like it in Windows 8, and therefore I'm happy to hear they reinstated Aero in Windows 10)..
but the simple thing is, all those 'laws of physics' are not actual facts, they are based on stuff 'we' think we know, and need to put into some laws just so we can try to understand what is going on, up to a moment when the laws don't count for something we see happening but can't understand due our self defined laws of physics... remember, the smartest people in the world also said the world was flat and if you said otherwise you were a heretic, but later we knew the world wasn't flat.........
VR was at a pong level about 30 years ago.. Because those suckers don't know what VR is or how to use it doesn't mean it only started a year ago.. Yeah, maybe HE started a year ago, but VR was already on the market in 1995 for consumers, and to just dismiss consumer helmets like the Forte VFX-1 is really ignorant/snobbisch (and those were even further along than 'Pong-level').. Let's not forget VR has been in use in the industry for a long time already, the only difference now is, you can do it on the cheap.. So I really think he's just an a**hole for dismissing all the work that has laid the ground for valve to actually be able to start doing VR.. Because they came late to the party doesn't mean the party only started when they arrived...
I think you really have no idea which apps are actually written in a crossplatform framework and which are really 'native'.. Most crossplatform frameworks ARE native, and most mobile platforms do have the same kind of options.. To be honest, why would I need a native app if there is also a webbased version available, and in a lot of cases I think the mobile versions (of native apps of websites themselves) are crap compared to regular versions.. (Most apps are nothing more than a dataviewer)..
But I agree, I'd rather have a real native app which actually uses the hardware to it's fullest, but these days it's really hard to find an application that is actually optimized for any specific platform, that's why we need faster hardware to even run the simplest apps we already ran on older hardware native...
Well even if it was exposed for a brief moment, it means it was exposed, so the only one he can blame is himself, he shouldn't even have talked about it 'privately' on that site.. He should just stop blaming Groupon and just stop acting like a crybaby, especially if he claims there are 30 other problems, so he can get money for those.
No it's not, it's in-engine footage, BUT! it's a cinematic which means it can be of much higher quality because the engine only has to deal with what's shown and nothing else like during regular gameplay, it's like a 'photo-mode' which you see in some games now, which are also only available in a rerun of what you actually played.
But I guess the in-engine footage is also propably shown on a very highend GPU...
They should never have gone for the iPad in the first place, only if it were for the reason it's a very closed system with only one company controlling everything on it.. There were a lot of other cheaper devices which work just as good (at least for schools)..
How is this prototype a tricoder? last time I checked a tricoder was a standalone device which didn't require other devices attached to people's bodies...
How is chrome not a default-browser these days or firefox? both have their own OSses, chrome is the default browser of Android now, and both are so much as the default browser in most Linux distributions... Also how can they absolutely make sure it's about the browser, as in some companies the browser is set for you (for instance it is set to chrome instead of IE).. And how does one make you a better employee if you use Chrome or Firefox if IE or Safari is just as good... Also why is it that a lot of webdev's these days don't even bother to test it on the latest IE or safari just because their preference is Chrome (talk about a bad developer)...
What kind of moronic conclusion is it to say: ""I think that the fact that you took the time to install Firefox on your computer shows us something about you. It shows that you're someone who is an informed consumer," says Housman" all based on an online query where the browser is used as a base.. It's just nonsense, because maybe I have installed FireFox or Chrome, but maybe I just don't like them because of some reason.. Who's to say one of those browsers is better than IE or Safari.. If it works for you, that's great, but not all people do like those browsers... (I have installed Firefox and chrome, but still use IE most of the time)..
They should just go multiplatform, their top games would sell so much more units if they went multiplatform (not that I'm a fan of their games, far from it, I find them mostly boring), it would propably easily make up for not having to invest money in developing their own hardware..

No, but in most cases it's not the moving air you hear, but the highpitch of the motors..

You can change your law no matter what, your laws don't extend beyond your own borders.. US laws are not valid in say United kingdom or sweden..
