Comment fonctionne le vote? Si le vote du coach compte pour 50%, le candidat choisi est certain de gagner, peu importe le vote des autres, non? #lavoix

@Jonathan_Blow @SebAaltonen Most game engines have another abstraction level on top of all the APIs, so we might as well control the real hardware instead!

Oh thank you @Microsoft @VisualStudio, the 2022 Preview just became retired IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING DEBUGGING SESSION. No warning, no way to continue using it, I need to exit NOW. Not sure I want to install the 2026 preview... 🤬😡 #SlowClap

“Ray tracing freed artists from many of those constraints.”

In this article from @GameSpot, Ubisoft Technical Architect Nicolas Lopez describes how switching from a baked to dynamic lighting system allowed the team behind Assassin’s Creed Shadows to create high-fidelity, interactive environments while minimizing memory use.

@davepl1968 @TimSweeneyEpic Looks like it’s far from perfect.

An amazing (but worrisome) analysis of the current state of the game industry.

@Jonathan_Blow I wish Visual Studio had support for « Break on data read ». That would be useful to debug cases where a variable is read before being initialized for example.

[Louis de Carufel @SpaceTangent]

@SebAaltonen If it supports multiple platforms, your game engine still needs an abstraction layer. So we’ll never really get rid of APIs. We’ll just go from “API hiding generic APIs” to “API hiding native APIs”. Looking forward to reading your opinion on this!

If you enjoy electro-jazz music, I suggest you take a listen to the latest album from Dzihan & Kamien: https://t.co/Jw1aQByeV4 I was quite sad when they announced their break up in 2010, so it's nice to hear they're back together making awesome music! 🎵

@DevteamL People on our team are sometimes offered as human sacrifice to Integrator, the god of code integration. They spend the rest of their l̵i̵f̵e̵ week merging code from different branches into our main branch.

@meuns @JFMarquis1 @Logitech The free version only allows 256 clicks per day..

Just bought the @Logitech M650 L Bluetooth mouse and I'm amazed at how nice it is! Silent buttons didn't seem like a feature I'd want in a mouse, but it really is a game changer. https://t.co/7EFfNn5yVD

[Louis de Carufel @SpaceTangent]

TIL that my motherboard's #Wifi antenna is also used for #Bluetooth (the manual doesn't mention that). I didn't connect it because my desktop PC is using an Ethernet wired connection. Today I tried to connect a Bluetooth mouse and it kept failing, until I connected the antenna.

@Gizmodo “The remedy for older models is simple range knob lock covers users need to install on their stoves.” & “If you don’t want a knob cover, then your other choice is to use Samsung’s SmartThings app to notify you when your WiFi-enabled stove is on” What a joke @SamsungCanada …

[Louis de Carufel @SpaceTangent]

@Gizmodo That would be perfect for @PicoEight console games, don’t you think?

[Louis de Carufel @SpaceTangent]

This looks awesome!

I'm proud to announce our #SIGGRAPH24 paper on #RealTime #Hair #Rendering that offers orders of magnitude reduction in storage and render time using Hair Meshes.

High-quality hair will no longer be too expensive for #VideoGames!

@ocornut I wish there was an option to only back up photos to iCloud, not videos. Currently it’s all or nothing.

[Louis de Carufel @SpaceTangent]

Hey @plex, it would be nice to have an option to keep an episode marked as "played" after is has been played once (past the threshold). Sometimes I like to listen again to parts of past episodes and it marks them as "not played" again, which is very annoying.

[Louis de Carufel @SpaceTangent]

@grujicbr @mickaelgilabert @VisualStudio @perforce It got enabled somehow on my machine, for all my c++ projects. At first I thought it was related to P4VS, but then I found out about CodeLens.

[Louis de Carufel @SpaceTangent]

Hey @perforce, is there a way to disable this feature in P4VS? It doesn't really tell me who last modified each function anyway, and steals precious space in the @VisualStudio code window...
