A service and a pricing problem. All cases of piracy I have observed stem from one of 3 reasons 1. Too expensive. This encompasses several varieties, like the media in question being literally priced more than the person is willing to pay,

AFAIK, certain classes of cookies do not require consent. For example, login cookies.

Aww I would have picked Roost. Then instead of Cargo, you could have Corvo and a whole bunch of bird names for the tools.

One thing that definitely makes sense is yearly eye checkups, including eye pressure. I had undiagnosed glaucoma for a year or two until my eyesight got bad enough to go to the Dr. No headaches or anything. Fortunately I still have enough v

I'm water cooling both the CPU and GPU in my PC and have found out that leads to virtually no airflow over the m.2 slot. For now I've simply placed a fan aimed directly at the slot on top of the GPU and that keeps the SSD at a 50

I would probably use a separate templating language to manually generate variants of the function for each type I need, check those in git along with the template.

I've honestly started questioning if the gamma representation was even worth it. Does using 8 bit linear really lose out on so much fidelity? I guess to test that you would need a display capable of showing 10 bit colour or maybe a CRT

You can even get away with 16 bit fixed point math, like what Imagemagick does.

The problem there is you have to find a buyer to turn that metal into liquid money. The only one you can sell it to is usually the same place you bought from, and they will make sure to make a profit.

I suspect it should be possible to have something that reflects light without doing work, or at worst absorbs a small portion of the incoming light and reflects the rest. Since it will sit on a desk, it will always be under light when obser

Dwarf Fortress actually does something like what you describe. It simulates natural phenomena and history to generate the world. Roguelikes in general show a lot of experimentation in that space.

The C interface for aligned memory allocation is aligned_alloc(). The returned pointers are always freed with free(). So what is probably happening is that aligned new calls aligned_alloc(), and then aligned delete simply calls the regular

You weren't kidding about it chugging on mobile. I'm on a Google Pixel 6 and it crashed my browser :'D. Perhaps it can be used as a nice stres test for Ruffle. Also, I would appreciate some screenshots showing where and how R

Downloading via torrents, or specifically breach of copyright, is not a criminal activity in the USA or Europe AFAIK.

Maybe more interestingly - that is the correct behaviour from the user's POV. The application that the user is currently interacting with is given more resources and background processes are throttled and killed until the user is done

Regarding the LCD problem: Don't you simply have to align the signal sent to the glasses with the LCD frames? You don't need the full delay, as the switching is rhythmic, so you only need up to 1 frame, or 1/30th of a second.

Rust->Roost Cargo->Corvo And from there on we have a ton of bird-related puns for naming.

Rust's borrow checker should make it impossible to reference an unlocked pointer in safe code. I suspect it should be possible to have a compacting heap as a library.

I have used fork as a stupid simple memory arena implementation. fork(); do work in the child; only malloc, never free; exit. It is much, much heavier than a normal memory arena would be, but also much simpler to use. Plus, if you can split

And to fast. Do intermittent fasting regularly. If you can, do a 3-day fast once a month or a week fast once every 6 months. To lose weight, eat fewer normal sized meals with a larger pause from the last to the first, not smaller meals spre

> The second part is the misconception about the impact of UB. Making something UB does not dictate that its usage will initiate the rise of zombie velociraptors. It grants the implementation the power to decide the best course of action

This just shows that "unreachable" is almost impossible to use safely. The only safe use of unreachable is if it is immediately after an instruction that makes the program stop running. It is not for "this cannot happen&quo

Programming languages have settled on '=' for assignment and '==' for equality comparison. Teaching people non-standard syntax because you think it might be easier is just doing them a disservice. Everyone I know that st

An important difference is that you are not modifying the state, though it is still there. There is one problem - time is limited to the range of values the given type can contain and since it's often a floating point type, the farther

Because the failure mode is gentler. With swap, once you start a process that needs more RAM than you have, you enter a swapping death spiral, the system becomes completely unresponsive and you have to hard reset. Without swap, you only get

I would recommend using nasal saline spray instead. The chance of nigleria fowleri is tiny, but definitely not worth it.
