>free AAA game engine

Doesn't being called that require that there are AAA games developed with it? According to wikipedia,

"In the video game industry, AAA (pronounced "triple A") or Triple-A is a classification term used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion or the highest ratings by a consensus of professional reviewers."

So if it's an engine for games with highest development budgets, why would they care about the engine being free? Clearly choosing a free engine is a cost-saving measure, at which point you're no longer making an AAA game by definition.

I did some more research and might have find a few good PHP equivalents:

- guzzle for HTTP request handling - http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/

- Virtphp for virtual environments - https://github.com/virtphp/virtphp

- Composer for dependency management - https://getcomposer.org/

- PHP-cli-tools for CLI building, see the example: https://github.com/wp-cli/php-cli-tools/blob/master/examples...
For wifi they use only Atheros chipsets because they write their own drivers and changing chipsets would require a complete rewrite for some of their custom stuff.

They had devices with 5 GHz before, just not in their SOHO devices. I've got two of their SXT lites (5 GHz) with directional antennas and my wireless uptime between them is around 70d.

Btw, the interface of their routers is a bit … verbose. I like it, but you should definitely have a look at it before you buy one of their routers: http://demo.mt.lv/webfig/

Even their cheapest devices come with a full copy of their OS, so you could just buy a hAP lite (~$25) and see if you like it. I did the same and never looked back.
I really would want to use Windows Server, especially with the upcoming nano version, but it is a full 50% more expensive on Azure. A D4 instance (8 cores Haswell Xeon, 28GB ram. 400GB local SSD) costs $458 with Oracle Linux and $833!!! with Windows. It just does not make any sense for me to chose Windows.

At this point, I wonder why Microsoft even bothers innovating on Windows Server when it is going to get chosen only by orgs who need to run MSFT software or C#. Those guys don't care about nano or containers or whatever.
You clearly didn't get the point of the argument. Let's stop here, ok?

In a creep of scope, credit scores are now used to determine whether or not you can be trusted to rent a domicile, the size (if any) of a deposit for utilities, increase/lower rates of one's auto insurance, and even some employers now use credit rating as part of screening candidates.

Even if you never borrow money, your credit scores impact your life.

That could work as well. Some sort of normalization would need to occur such that someone visiting 1,000 sites on a $5/mo budget would compare favorably against someone visiting 10 on the same budget. But that would certainly further reduce inaction.

I think some sort of feedback would be important, at least in the beginning, so that people understand how this magic pile of money is being treated.

I was a bit surprised to see that's it's "Free – with Full Source" until I saw that you "only pay for the AWS services you choose to use". So it's a really complex way to bring more business to AWS.

Still it's a nice initiative and could be a win-win.
Especially with the rising movement of stream-to-play (is it the right name for when you don't install a game, but stream it directly from the cloud?).
I am toying around the idea of writing an open source implementation of Lambda on top of docker (for isolation) golang (for custom code to run) and erlang/elixir/OTP (for coordination). Are people interested ?

The loss of freedom, in your case, is control over the development direction of your tools. If the tools match your business, fine. Let's hope they still do in a few years.

If the match is only partial, your choice is between lobbying for tool change from your vendor, or conforming your business to match the tool.
Great writeup...not sure if most people would agree that it is SFW though. A link to the Github account might be more palatable (which contains the Node code "to run a server that allowed for serial communication between the browser and Arduino)" because it at least looks more like a work page, for the many readers who are devs...

I tried it once (back when Groupon was a thing), at a discount. It was ok, but nothing special. I mean not that different from lying in a bath or a bed in darkened quiet room, really not that much difference for me.

Also, if you go, I recommend you take some kind of floating neck support (or ask for one at the place where you are going) because towards the end, I could feel my neck starting to hurt (and I don't have a problem with my neck, it's just 1 hour is a long time).
Again: just serve ads and I'm happy even if it's half the content on the page. Just don't use tracking ads from ad networks. I don't mind downloading huge ads and I don't mind the layout including the ads (as long as they are tasteful, as in the print version of Wired).

Wired is a print mag. They have always struck deals with advertisers to show dumb ads without impression counts, in their magazine. Just put those ads on the site!

It is quite a leap to go from 'not gaussian' to 'not random' as done here. All that has been falsified, as far as I can tell, is a very simple model of a random walk with normally distributed disturbances.

It would be interesting how much better it becomes if higher moments, in particular kurtosis ('fat tails') are included.

Devils advocate: An argument could me made that this is a AAA grade engine, referring to it's capabilities not customers. Much like the US Army doesn't necessarily buy all clothing labeled 'Military Spec' or 'Tactical' etc
(I use to work in the art world as a teenager) While he is interesting the implications of someone having a detailed journal from the 16th and 17th Century and the 20th is huge.
It's describing the engine and the games that have been produced with it, not necessarily the games that will be created with it in the future. Crysis 3 was definitely a AAA game.
Do you? You can start with small blogs and take it from there. You can sell subscriptions to different segments (tech, gardening, etc.) so that the % that goes to a small player once things get bigger is meaningful.
Great advice, thanks. I'll see what I can do!
>Once again: the worst that an insurance salesperson can do is sell you bad insurance. They're not actually involved in medical procedures, so any harm they can do is financial.

That's it, huh? Just financial? Only, you might get stuck holding the bag for a bunch of medical bills that aren't covered by some insurance policy you bought, so you get to spend your sick days fighting a legal battle against a company you might never be able to recover a cent from.

Tangentally, does anyone know how to show a running balance in PayPal, similar to a bank statement. I can get a list of transactions, but there doesn't seem to be a 'Balance' column, and it's not obvious which transactions affect the balance.
Fourth reason: Twitters product, while useful to news junkies and journalists who report on it, is actually inferior to the average person who simply wants to interact with their friends, aka Facebook.
UE wants 5% of revenue full stop. (After the first $3k/quarter.) But even for a small shop like ours, with 7 employees, that's very expensive, PLUS we pay for servers on top of it.

Forced/licensed integration may not be for some people, but this isn't that expensive, comparatively, in the end.
> Where normal web servers like Apache and Nginx have to sit idle 24/7, waiting for new requests to come in, with Zappa, the server is created after the HTTP request comes in through API Gateway

To me, this sounds very much like reinventing the plain old CGI, just with different names ("Web server" -> "API Gateway", "CGI script" -> "server").

Am I missing something here?
They mean the engine is capable of powering AAA titles (and it is, because it's CryEngine at heart). So users get that level of utility from something that doesn't cost anything.
Sad to see how many comments here completely miss the complex nuance of this issue, and just project their own prejudices and preferences on this. Just like the activists in the story, apparently.
Thanks for the link, I haven't seen this. I just checked again, they didn't email me ..

Semi-regular user here (2-3 times / month). I view it as yet another tool under the "investigation of self" initiative that some people like me have taken on. What do I get out of it? Well, my experience in the tank differs every time. Some times I use it as a source of tranquility, some times I use it to focus on a certain topic I want to work out in my head, and some times I have absolutely zero intention and I just let the experience happen. Much like meditation, in the time immediately after the tank I find myself more aware, moving a bit slower, just kind of taking the environment in. First time I ever tried the tank was in NYC and I walked from Chelsea to the east side. The sounds of the city seemed much more sharp.

I definitely recommend meditating consistently before trying it, if you can. It'll make the adjustment a bit smoother because you won't be wrestling so much with "being alone with my thoughts" and you can concentrate on "holy shit, am I in outer space right now?!"
Business. Amazon re-invests almost all their profits in itself(Wall Street hates this a lot). Getting a sweetheart deal from a company about to go under to fill a gap in their software technology to grow out their game section was probably too hard to resist.

The solution is a universal basic income for everyone. It will encourage employment and spending.

There should also be a fix for the "1% of the population having more than 60% of total wealth" problem.
It seems like having local lambda emulation would be useful as a companion to this. If I ever do some lamba development I'd love to see integration with emulators like https://github.com/HDE/python-lambda-local, https://serverlesscode.com/post/emulambda-testing-aws-lambda..., or https://ashiina.github.io/2015/01/lambda-local/ (some or all of these may work already, I can't tell just by eyeballing the projects from a distance)
Как защитить личные данные в Интернете: 10 советов
iTunes has had a media browser since I started using it in the 10.3 days.

You haven't needed iTunes to use an iPhone for several years now. I still plug mine in once in a while for a local backup but I can't tell you the last time I've needed it. Apple's cloud backup is pretty good in my experience.

Don't get me wrong... iTunes is definitely getting worse. The media browser is too hard to find in the new version and the new default views don't handle large libraries very well.

I'd really like to see their pre-market RF testing data - specifically tested against a child model and not the standard 200 pound adult SAR model (whilst just ignoring for a moment that SAR testing is basically useless in quantifying biological harm from RF).
I got pretty excited and rushed through the article trying to clarify what engine and language it is based on.

Got a little bleak when I saw CryEngine and C++. As someone who uses C# and Java it's becoming pretty clear I need to start learning C++ if I want to explore game dev.

I realize Unity uses C# but when I compare UE, Unity and CryEngine it really feels like Unity still has a long way to go. The features you get out the box with UE for example are far superior to Unity.

Anyway, I just went off topic. It looks like an interesting option for developing multiplayer focused games.

Inside the Tech Behind New York's Monstrously Fast Gigabit Wifi
The author goes on a bit about how Rome lost its values and this was the beginning of the collapse. That's fair enough since the Romans spent a good amount of time telling each other the same thing.

But it's a mistake to apply what we think today to how they felt about things. One of the things the Romans lamented was the fact that after the Greek conquest, some Romans were taking to using beds at night! Beds! Every real Roman slept on the ground, where it was natural.

Likewise with the "Horrors of the Colosseum". We think of the animal acts as horrendous -- and they were, to us. To Romans, who knew death on a much more personal level, it was entertaining but not profoundly obscene. (Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a huge city in Roman times without modern medicine? You had to pass dozens in the street every day either dying or almost dead)

They were not without standards. In the history of one of the Christian martyrs, Perputua, there's a story of women stripped naked and put in a net -- in order for the animals to take them. The crowd was horried, however. Why? Because one of the women had just given birth and was still producing milk. So they demanded she be clothed, she was, and the animals proceeded to destroy them all.*

The Romans were a bloodthirsty bunch, for sure. But they did have what they considered to be high moral standards. Those standards just don't match up to the ones we have today. (I'm not trying to make a case for relative morality, simply pointing out that you have to learn and accept the Romans in their own terms. Otherwise you'll be making all kinds of assumptions that simply aren't true)

1. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/maps/...

* Also interesting was that the Romans selected female animals to kill the women. Because of course that was the right thing to do.
Yeah, and at that point you probably won't be using TriNet anymore.
There is a third option, "accept to view ads with the associated ecosystem which includes tracking". How many more options do you want? At that point Wired is happy to lose you as a customer. You have anyway dodged the question on whether you will pay $5. At the end of the day someone has to foot the bill. Allow them to define their user base and serve them. It is a challenging time for publishers.
Fully agree with the article. Got caught out by the same nasty trick.

Unfortunately, LinkedIn serves a niche in the market for keeping in touch with ex work colleagues who you don't necessarily know well enough to connect with on Facebook. And to be fair, it's also a good way of getting a job nowadays.

If someone built a better intentioned, less spammy alternative, I think it would stand a good chance of succeeding.

You're not completely wrong, the difference is that there is no configuration necessary, no permanent infrastructure, no limitations on scalability, and the costs are measured in milliseconds. AWS just takes care of everything. It's just _python manage.py deploy prod_ and you're done.

Obviously there are still ways that this can be optimized since Django wasn't really designed to be used like this, but it still seems performant enough for me, and the other advantages gained are major.

Response times for a warm server are almost always <200ms, averaging just over 100ms (we did some tests on reddit yesterday.) In my own tests just now, I was getting <80ms response times consistently. And I'm certain there are ways that we can shave this down further.
There is also the 'pyramid' effect you can get by owning signups. If I as a content provider or just a referrer send you in as a paying customer I can get a cut of your monthly without even serving you content.

Yeah, especially when you consider Carmack basically volunteered to rewrite Minecraft in C++ for Microsoft (and VR use). I'm not a game developer so I have no idea if C++ is as widespread as it seems but to me that's a pretty big indication.
This would have been useful for me during development..

But honestly, the big problem is the API Gateway. The product is a mess, the docs are a mess, and the whole system is kind of insane. Lambda is awesome, but API Gateway still seems half baked. 90% of my development time was fighting with APIGW. There are some kind of crazy hacks in there (base58 encoding cookies, regex based on b64 encoded status codes) that shouldn't have been necessary.

Still, now that the system works and it's easy to use, I think this is ready for real usage. And I'm sure Amazon will get their stuff together for future releases of APIGW. They probably weren't completely anticipating that people would use it in this way.
Hi!)

1. We will soon connect authorization via Google +

2. To add the resources is needed profile. However, each user can use the search without authorization.
This is necessary to minimize spam.

3. Yes, we will be able to search among the selected resources. We can thus see a variety of search results offered by the people. And get a lot of opinions on request.

Google rarely changes the results. You enter the "Design" and get the same sites today / tomorrow / next day. It popular resources become only more popular. We offer much more dynamic search, where people form the search results with the best resources)
It took half a dozen or so emails to every possible email address I could find on linkedin's site, but I managed to finally have my personal email address added to some global do-not-contact list. I have since stopped receiving any invitations from friends to join. It's really disgusting that they have such functionality, but do not allow people to be added to such a list on their own.
The best/funniest solution for problems like these is showing cats and dogs with a Nickolas Cage face, instead of ads for those who have ad-blockers. There is a site that uses this technique,(8muses .com NSFW), those images are so distracting you just have to disable ads. It's hilarious.
I tried once and ended up falling asleep for half the period.
I am open to talking to anybody about it. I think I've got the core functions and issues mapped out already as I've been mulling it for years and watching a few people take a swing at it on the wrong plane.

There really is no issue with one person doing 1000 paid hits versus another who only does 10 as that all balances out. Sharing of accounts is one thing, but that's pretty easy to track as you just have to keep an eye on the heavy users.

Feedback is definitely part of the package. Users are kept anonymous to the content providers by default, but there is still some good aggregate data available. Content providers won't need to worry about their demographics nearly as much since they mainly want that to sell advertising which they should no longer have to do.
Yea, which is a shame for them, as lots of the smaller shops starting out and actually deciding which game engine to use are likely to be starting with something like Blender. I don't even think 3DS Max exists anymore? Isn't it just Maya now?
Yes, you're actually right - thinking about it, the issue is that these laws a) don't have any place in this day and age and b) were really abused in the case of Tesla, which never used the traditional dealership model to sell cars as far as I understand it (european here).

On a sidenote: One could argue whether these laws made any sense, even back then - just image how ridiculous it would be if every industry enjoyed the same "protections".
It's hard to convert this to technical requirement -- this is largely a moral requirement on someone running the service. That's the second best option -- first would be this being technicall not possible.

The only way I can think of to deter this is cost per action. So accounts start with some virtual (or real) currency which spends on actions like connecting or adding to the graph. This will at-least minimize if not stop the behavior.

Any other ways of implementing non-creepiness?
