Firefox is absolutely abysmal at not corrupting its JSON stores, too. I've had it crash and lose tabs so many times. Perhaps moving back to SQLite wouldn't be a bad idea. I had to recover somebody's bookmarks for them recentl

Good old Halo 2 stand-bying. An absolute plague.

Similar to the old game development trick of hiding some memory away and then freeing it up near the end of development when the budget starts getting tight.

Sure, I just explained why they probably aren't there. Every GPU that gamers cared about isn't as catchy, I suppose.
95.
by Chaosvex 7mo ago
Because consumers don't care about them, probably. They're never going to be remembered fondly like gaming cards.

I noticed that the list seemed a little Nvidia heavy when there were absolutely other cards that deserved a mention in the earlier years.

Nah, YouTube is absolutely shoving slop at users. They recently removed some of the search filters such as sorting by date, just to make it a little bit harder to find anything.

You can use page fragments to get close enough. I hacked this together in Varnish with custom headers handled by the backend before it was an actual feature. A bit of a pain but eminently doable, even years ago

That's one way to look at it but I don't think it was that deep.

I can understand the motivation here. One of my hobby open source projects includes multiple services and I don't want to have to start and stop them individually just to test anything. They're designed to run standalone since it&

Imagine thinking that there aren't national security contingency plans for this sort of thing.

It's far more complicated than that and ended up in court. They own the commercial rights after a legal battle with Blizzard (and Riot was in the fray, somewhere), who retained some rights to the name. Valve's 'Dota' doe

He doesn't own the rights, so there's little he could do even if he wanted.

Yes, it is.

As long as it officially stands for nothing, perhaps. See DotA vs Dota2.

The Atari that may have paid for development no longer exists. This is a skin suit of a legal entity.

It's similar to Valve and Dota2. We all know what it means but officially, it isn't actually DotA and doesn't stand for anything. They will never refer to the game as Defense of the Ancients. Seems to have worked for them. Wo

That was my reasoning for not fixing it, too. Fair!

I realised the other day that some of my test code has 'jumped' rather than 'jumps' for the intended panagram. Glad to see I'm not alone. :^)

What does this even mean? If you've got scaling problems, it's not because you've used PHP.

Most games aren't shipping with full-fat unicode support or typefaces that could display those icons, though. Plus it'd start to break down with controllers that aren't simple A/B/X/Y.

How? That's easy. You just need a huge dollop of hubris.

Not sure what to take away from this. __abstract works because GCC allows it as an alias to __abstract__, not because parsing the syntax is forgiving. Abstractions do exist (disagreeing with the single other post in here) and they also exis

It was negligence. You don't need a certificate to prevent update tampering.
