Ok, internally Google usesNewSQL, which is a relational system that attempts to be maintain ACID guarantees but hit the same scalability and read-write speeds of a NoSQL system.

Hmm... I remember reading about them using NoSQL for there faster I/O stuff (like gaming). For example,Facebook's Messaging system uses HBASE, which I believe is a non-relational (NoSQL) database. My understanding was also that Google replaced their MySQL implementation with other...

The servers are written in Erlang , which is a fully multi-threaded functional telephony language. It is the language developed in the 70s at Erickson used to write the telephone network backbones and can scale to a ridiculous degree by just adding hardware. WoW and, at least older SOE stuff...

Well, yea. But saying and doing are different things. They are saying things that are certainly possible, but they aren't doing any of things that show they are the people capable of doing them. Good luck with your project!

Functional Programming languages and NoSQL databases work much differently than traditional I/O, so we don't need (or have) an in-house DB guy. The data-centers that host our servers probably have them, but then you are sort of paying him through your hosting costs. It isn't quite the same.

What you are doing is awesome, and a really clever way to do things so that they fit your needs. I am just trying to explain that this way is great for a quick prototype/hobby project, and doesn't scale even a little into anything remotely approaching a commercial product. Now, it really...

I agree... but where is it? I would expect it to have been avaliable from the get go. Sort of. In theory you could get away with 3 people for pre-production. Brad (as Designer), 1 client programmer, and 1 server programmer. Assets you'd buy from the Unity store or farm out a a Chinese...

If that isn't what you meant, thank you for clarifying. That was how I took it, and I think so did several other people. But, now that you've clarified your posts it is much more clear what you meant, which is reasonable. I actually, even with our extremely good tech, would not attempt to...

To echo Draegan, I highly recommend Unity to anyone out there that is interested in making games.

Ok, so thankfully this thread shifted to a technical discussion involving Unity. I love technical discussions. Unity is awesome. At the company I work we use Unity as the client in every single one of our projects. Unity allows you to prototype and test ideas very quickly, as in weeks as...

Where is the media coming from primarily? Internet? NAS? Portable Hard Drive?

Diet. As to what you should do for exercise, if you are here asking a question like that then the answer is strength training with one of the many popular 5xWhatever programs. I like Starting Strength, but there are several good programs out there.

Because curious I was going to do a rough calculation of just how much faster water sucks heat away from you compared to air by calculating the Heat transfer coefficient of both situations. Luckily Google is awesome for the curious but lazy. Found anengineering websitethat lists heat...

The extra high caloric requirements of swimmers have almost everything to do with training in water. My understanding is that 12k is an exaggeration, it is more like 6k-8k, but that is a lot higher than even other Olympic athletes. Doesn't have to be frigid, just "warm room temperature" or...

I absolutely do. I learned a lot working on that game and am proud of what I did. I don't consider it a mark of shame in any way, and in general don't hesitate to talk about my experiences there even in a public space like this. I can be even more candid in person

Wow... it was a joke, a tongue-in-cheek self-deprecating joke. Nothing more. Tough room.

You have a thing for overweight, unkempt, unhygienic, socially awkward, pedantic, boring, smelly nerds?

I second that. I have that larger one and I really like it, pretty much mandatory for my old back to use before and after training.

THREE MEAT! What are the meats?

Thank you for the tips, I pretty much haven't shut it off since I got it. Have to love the play on the remote play functionality.

I have it for the Wii U. Don't get me wrong, I still really like the game, it is just that it seems to demand a level of precision from the gameplay that the camera/character controls (and the collision system) don't offer. I think a simple lock on camera would have gone a very long way, if...

Holy crap. The controls for this game are beyond awful... I find it almost unplayable. Maybe I am just spoiled by always using a mouse and keyboard.

Downloading! Really looking forward to playing soon. Was pretty cheap too with the sale, only 300Kr, which is $47. Nothing is that cheap here, hell a haircut costs twice that!

The Fat/Sugar thing... is complicated. There have been tons of studies and experiments done at this point about how humans (and animals for that matter) regulate their food intake. We actually use all sorts of cues to determine if we are "full" or not, including visual confirmation about how...

Good point, I misspoke a bit. The fiber doesn't really feed you so much as the good bacteria, which can break it down. When you don't feed them (low amounts of fiber), there aren't many of them. If you suddenly start eating a lot of fiber, then there is more there than the amount of bacteria...

The company is charged with Market manipulation. They are pulling all of the computers out of the building right now.

If the addition of lots of leafy greens is relatively recent, the ass splitters are caused by the lack of the right amount of gut bacteria to break down all that plant cellulose (fiber). It'll eventually get better as the bacteria you need to break it all down properly repopulate now that you...

Yea. Plus the Wii U is region locked. Thanks anyway! Really? I'll wait then. Thanks!

Try just a plain bowl of frozen berries with a little bit of 100% cocoa powder.

Scandinavia. I am not sure how Nintendo splits up the regions, I think any European game might work on it.

Not in my region unfortunately. I'll hit a couple of smaller shops downtown tomorrow, they might still have one in stock (or used).

The standard ballpark for how much a game should cost (assuming a professional full-time staff) is ~10k per month per person.

Well, ffs. It is discontinued everywhere here. Damnit.

Cool. I'll pick it up. I was deciding between that and Wind Waker HD (probably where I got the HD from) and wasn't sure which to go with first.

I just got a WiiU. I have Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii, but never really played it due to not having a TV (which I have now). Is it worth buying MH3HD for the WiiU? Should I not bother and just play my existing Tri copy?

This is sort of interesting. I wonder what they are going to do. Logically it is far too early to be building a dungeon in Unity, so maybe it is a discussion and paper design? I kind of want to at least check it out but it starts at 2am for me, ugh.

I play mostly Singed top and I don't really have problems with Riven as long as I don't play stupid. You can't 1v1 her early but Fling really screws with her combos and she really can't stop your farm. Voli would probably be in the same position maybe?

Good move, I quite liked Space Marine. Overall I think it was underrated, although many of the criticisms leveled at it were valid.

I meant what I said. I think most people's attachment to EQ is nostalgia, and the minority where this isn't true are simply part of a niche that isn't big enough to support itself. I don't think a professionally made "Classic EQ" is viable, and if it is I don't think it would come from someone...
