While I agree to an extent, I've worked on boring-ass assignments at uni, but I love programming. @XDroidie626 Get yourself a community version of Visual Studio, start off with C# or C++ and jump into the deep side of the pool. One important thing: you MUST learn the basics regardless of what you want to do: variables, functions, arrays, classes, file management, pointers (for C++), later on some design patterns, object-oriented rules etc. Try making a fairly complex console-based program/game - noughts and crosses, hangman, even Pong if you feel adventurous. Only then jump into big graphic based projects. You have to go through the shit part to get into interesting stuff. Blindly creating a half-assed 2D game that crashes when you press the wrong button is not an achievement. I spent 1.5 years at university before we started our first 2D projects. So don't expect to create Angry Birds by the end of holidays. If you need any more info, reply.

Suggestion: Switch from buttons to radio buttons so you can select a specific object type and display all fill forms below, and answer at the bottom. This reduced the number of popups, improves usability. Quick sketch:

Now you will get directions to jump off the bridge in stunning 3D!

Considering Quake (don't remember which one though) effectively changed how we look at online games I'm surprised it's not there.

PLN 3.2k ?!?!? 1-2 months of Kowalski's pay. Good I fucked off from that backyard of EU.

Oooor, eneloops!

52 weeks a year, minimum wage, wife and two children, living back-to-back, managed to get cash for a mid-high PC 3 years ago - that's a more likely scenario. Get your head out of expendable income middle class zone. For many, saving $40 every two weeks means no food for few days, or no new shoes. Sure, if you live alone or have no kids it's doable, but It's much easier to say "save up for a year or two" than actually save up, there are too many unexpected or more important investments on such timescale for most of the people on this planet. I sell them for $550? Where do you live? Secondhandland? 670 (2 generations back) on ebay, used, £50-120, single new 970? £250-300. You need another £300+ if you sell them. IF you don't have 3, not as powerful PCs in the immediate family that could easily benefit from these. Maybe you don't need $1000, but forking out even $700 is not something most people can afford. And to play in 4K, you need a 4K display, so that one-off $500+ monitor or $1000+ TV is a bit on top of that. As I said to the buy above, most people don't have free cash, nor do they live alone. Spending 1-1.5 months worth of income just doesn't happen on the lower end - a.k.a the majority. Entusiasts have a lot of high end stuff, it doesn't mean it's a thing if 90%+ of the market simple can't afford it.

because people buy sli along with their new shoes... get back on earth, few people can afford $1000+ upgrades every other year.

Explain, as a soon-to-be graduate, I have so far found that math can be useful, but outside of specific math-based algorithms it's more about logic. Where, outside of graphics and virtual world-based areas require more math knowledge than programming knowledge?

Ubisoft, look and learn, or your "bloody marvelous time to be alive" may end for you soon.

Paul Horner sounds like an interesting person: The dream of working at mcdonalds sounds suspicious at least.

What the actual fuck. Coming next LED Pants - Whole day battery... Soon you'll have a cupboard covered in wireless charging pads to make sure your clothes work in the morning.

So, now that you have selected your language successfully, design the program on paper first. Think about what information has to be stored, how the UI will look, what communication is required, and how, from loading to pressing submit button the system will look. I assume you will need two forms on the page, borrow and return, maybe the statistics on what tools are available in what amounts? Don't start programming until you have all requirements you can think of backed up somewhere (not in your head). Look at existing solutions to same or similar problems, how they look and what they include. There's more to programming than stating that PHP and Java suck and that HTML is not a programming language - "It even says that in it's name". It's hardly time to do a 3 year course, but it's better to start of slow but well.

Visual Studio all the way, very powerful, can compile on multiple platforms without problems and engines like Unity and Unreal integrate it as part of the development platform in a sexy way.

So a company with 75% market share is showing a middle finger to the industry, but because 75% of customers are on their side - "the majority doesn't mind". I love physx implementations, they look and work awesome, but I guess it's time for khronos to team up again and develop their own open library, possibly again on top of AMD's tech (tressFX) and tell nvidia to fuck off. I own a 570, so an upgrade is overdue, question is if Nvidia is worth the investment as a company.

FUCKING HACK IT !

Soon : 4 Low-power cores 4 Low-to-sort-of Medium cores 4 Sort-of-Medium-to-Sort-of-High cores 4 Sort of-High-to-High-as-hell cores 16 Core CPU!! wooo! Buy it! Buy it! Pro Tip for ARM: copy Intel's SpeedStep.

You have RAM and VRAM. A modern Gaming PC has ~12GB of RAM, 8 for CPU and 4 for GPU. Consoles have 8 shared. Considering they run on sub HD resolutions, they probably use around 2GB as VRAM, ~1 for the system, with 5 left for the game. Now I'm not sure what are the exact differences between platforms, but I assume dumping more game data onto the 5GB of RAM left helps with performance. It could be a limitation. Both right and wrong. APUs are fucking with industry standards, because DDR and GDDR are designed to run well with one of the two chips in an APU, which forces a compromise. GDDR5 is designed for parallelization while DDR3 for more linear workloads, beneficial for GPUs or CPUs respectively, but not both. GDDR5 has slower response time, but more flexible I/O design, while DDR3 has faster response, but is limited to channels (single, dual, quad) as a method of increasing I/O. Both Sony and MS went the cheap way for their new consoles, and that's what's going to kill them, nothing else.

AMD laptop = APU low range. True title: HP laptops now cut costs on Operating System used.

It's either proper healthcare of cheap PC components

Which is how most Lambos are used, to show off rather than use them on the great tracks like *insert list famous tracks here*.

Now fuck russians in the ass, and make germany the overlord of europe again.
