Re:Doom 3 source released on Wednesday November 23, 2011 @08:33AM (#3269946)
ah.. it works w/o the base at the end! So the correct path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM 3"
Re:Doom 3 source released on Wednesday November 23, 2011 @08:12AM (#3269887)
Installed Doom3 using the CDs and updated to the latest release. Then opened the sln file in VS 2010 and changed the command line args for debugging to point to the data of the game installed from the cd (instead of steam).

Now what is the matter with default.cfg and what about "Unknown command 'vid_restart'"? I am not familiar with the structure of idgames.

  ------ Initializing File System ------
  Current search path:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM 3\base/base
  game DLL: 0x0 in pak: 0x0
  Addon pk4s:
  file system initialized.
  --------------------------------------
  Unknown command 'vid_restart'
  idRenderSystem::Shutdown()
  Shutting down OpenGL subsystem
  ...shutting down QGL
  Couldn't load default.cfg

But I somehow agree with the non-joker argument. Ever heard somebody who doesn't write code, arguing about how great open source software like Ubuntu is?

"Stop being a fucking joker." It is quite funny how people come up with the subjects they have the most problems with. For example we had a professor also teaching project management who had a hard time keeping his meetings, work, teaching, etc organized ;)

Wtf Rage is amazing and I've never seen a game that looks better. I would say that getting Rage done is quite an achievement. If hoped that JC would do a different game then you can doit yourself.

I strongly disagree with "Learn a parser toolkit". If you want to do it yourself you should write also a parser yourself.

"Converting CFGs to assembly language" Nice we didn't cover how to actually implement it in our theoretical computer science class.

Nice post, however it's a bit dated I wonder if there is a newer version.

Old! C programmers know how this is expanded.
Guess we will know more once the sdk is released.
This is one of the few ideas which I would actually invest money in it. If I had money ;)

Same here, used that lecture when my prof failed to explain the pumping lemma properly.
Why do you think they use multiple cores instead of a single fast one?
For those wondering weather more cores means more power consumption: http://superuser.com/questions/163567/why-does-the-heat-prod...
Sure as you can see they are already quite fast :) It's nice to see a new competitor in the CPU business..

What a crappy project, how about some better C++ support?!
What are the topics discussed there? Web?

They start arguing about it instead of improving it :(
Probably by not eating all the time :D
Re:Common Programmer Health Problems on Sunday August 08, 2010 @07:50AM (#1585235)
Fully agree, staying behind a computer for a whole week is not healthy (even if you exercise regularly)
Re:Common Programmer Health Problems on Sunday August 08, 2010 @07:49AM (#1585234)
EXERCISE REGULARLY.

Nobody forces you to drink coffee.

Really I don't think it's so hard to do programming w/o becoming a complete nerd.

- programming in boring languages (Java);

It's not the language IMHO, but for me rather the problem that Java programming involves using libs and configuring stuff (which is rather dumb and boring) rather then designing algorithm and understanding how stuff really works..

Wow didn't know this..
As a CUDA developer I'm pissed off by this decision.. Last time I checked OpenCL wasn't ready (much slower then CUDA) so I don't see how one could use the new Macs for serious GPU development :(

Also Adobes premiere uses CUDA.. maybe Apple wants to look their own product (Final cut) better on Macs?

Re:Ask HN: Should I learn C? on Saturday July 17, 2010 @01:29PM (#1524214)
Ah just saw that you did Python and JS first. So yes I suggest learning C or C++ (maybe C first, because it's easier)
