It's been 5 years since node.js is around? is node.js development slow or the version numbers (scheme) is progressing slow. It sounds like there is at least a decade for ver 1.0. Probably 1.0 does not mean anything. In my mind version 1.0 is the when the product is complete.
Don't stare yourself blind at version numbers, they're just a way to distinguish one version from another.
Open source projects generally don't follow the same versioning conventions as closed source projects, as they don't require you to fork over money for each sharp version.
Also, software can rarely ever be said to be "complete", even theoretically. Only very small programs can be written once and be said to fulfil their purpose from then on. For larger programs and systems, the needs and requirements is usually something you try to approximate with ever increasing precision. But usually needs and requirements is a moving target as well, making this task perpetual.
This conspires to make 1.0 more of a marketing decision than to map to any real "completeness". I've seen whole program rewrites in a 0.01 change of an open source project. Similarly I've seen projects bumped to 1.0 with very little ceremony simply because it's been used in production for 8 years now, and why the hell not?
I actually looked but couldn't find it in my links, but out there on the internet somewhere is an interesting marketing study showing how profoundly more likely people are to pay for software that is versioned at least 1.0. All of my personal projects are 0.x.x, rarely making it to 1.0. Meanwhile, my business projects rarely start under 1.0.
After a long day at work, I get home with my eyes "burned". I sit on the couch and the ceiling lamp hurts my eyes. I turn it off and can only stand the dim light. I think this monitor is perfect for people like me. (Recently started using f.lux, it's helping though)
You should go see an optometrist. This was me as well until about a month ago; turns out I am slightly farsighted and my eyes were straining to focus on my computer monitor all day. Now I wear an appropriate pair of computer/reading glasses and my eyes don't hurt anymore.
Results suggested that reading on the two display types is very similar in terms of both subjective and objective measures.
CONCLUSIONS:
It is not the technology itself, but rather the image quality that seems crucial for reading. Compared to the visual display units used in the previous few decades, these more recent electronic displays allow for good and comfortable reading, even for extended periods of time.
Interesting study but by no means conclusive and has a few flas as they only measured 6 female participants reading 300 words at a time on each device.(10 inch ipad, two sony e-ink devices of 6 inch variety)
Number and sex of participants might not be that crucial here but 300 words at a time seems very low amount.
Anecdotally, I can read just fine and quickly on a most glossiest of LCDs for a few minutes.
If I have to read for an hour or longer give me e-ink screen any time.
This doesn't mention anything about the light promoting wakefulness, but rather simply assesses levels of comprehension: "These dependent measures included subjective (visual) fatigue, a letter search task, reading speed, oculomotor behaviour and the pupillary light reflex."
Staring at a light producing screen all day then not staring at one could still be a good move.
I hope it is more than what is shown on demo video. Controlling agents in the game with JS commands is one thing, programming them in more detail is something else.
Sounds like U.S. has not been a sovereign country for sometime. It's intelligence service has been working for another country, passing sensitive information of its own citizens to Israel. Interesting. Even more interesting is that the bulk of the comments are on somewhere else whether this is a witch hunt or not, if it resembles to what Mr. Hoover did or did not do, if the committee in the past succeeded or not.
The mistake will be to allow even a tiny hole in net neutrality. Once they get hold of something it will be only a matter of time to make it larger. However it sounds harmless any dent to net neutrality should be fought against fiercely.
I am more interested in people who did this than what they have achieved. The difference in capability of me and them is like distance between planets. How one can become such talented!
It depends on your level of programming expertise and how deep you want to get into the discipline, and what sort of games you want to make.
If you want to make 3d games for major platforms and are of moderate to high programming talent, it's hard to beat Unity at this time. The Unity Asset Store is an inexpensive source of great starter projects, temp assets, and commonly needed libraries.
That said, making 3d games at all is deeply nontrivial and I wouldn't recommend it as a solo hobby owing to the very large surface area (art, design, game design, geometry, game logic, tooling, etc.). You can get to the 85% level in everything but modern consumers will be unsatisfied with the quality.
For 2D, especially for getting to a shippable product, I might try LOVE or Moai, although both of those are on shakier foundations support-wise. Don't let anyone tell you having anything to do with Python.
