Visual Studio is amazing! It's the one program that I miss on Linux and will still switch to Windows for. Me too, but QtCreator with some clang/LLMV based plugins is quite amazing too... I meant to check out QtCreator but never got around to it. Heard it was nice. Now I've just started writing a ne...

The reason that I'm still using Windows is Visual Studio, this is something that Linux lacks, I see you always complaining about it, maybe for C#, clr and .NET it is problematic, I don't know, but for C++ development it works like a charm. Visual Studio is amazing! It's the one program that I miss ...

Agreed that Windows has been running backwards since Windows 7. I've abandoned Microsoft in response to this fiasco and I used to be the biggest Microsoft fanboy I knew.

Wow - that is a nice book. Very ambitious! I've been using lines from the Silver Suites for probably a decade now, but your book was no where near this large when I raided it. (Or else I overlooked the large version.) It was asked how long the lines in this book are so I whipped up a quick graph: ht...

Nice to hear that you are working on a new version of Ares

I test almost exclusively against eight other engines. I rotate them from time to time, but Ares is one of the engines that I have used a lot.
