I just use TetherFi (from Pyamsoft). Works great, except for wss sockets that do not support connections through proxies. Only hairy part is configuring proxy servers on Windows. For some stupid reason, a proxy configuration script must b

I wonder if this is the worst cryptography blunder since Nintendo Wii using 'strncmp' to validate a hash (which stops after the first matching 00 byte)

If I'm going to be forced into two-factor authentication, I would much rather use TOTP than be forced to use a phone number. Phones can break.

Speaking of trivializing a challenge: There's a challenge where you see words like "RED BLUE YELLOW GREEN PURPLE", but they are written in color different to their name. You are challenged to say the color of the text and no

How about the part about knowing what the directory the executable was launched from? It could be different than the working directory.

TOTP on the other hand is completely fine. Encrypt your TOTP secret file just to keep it around, and enter the secret into your Firefox Browser (TOTP browser extension), and the android app "Secur". No third parties involved. N

In addition to the procedural generation of all the data, removing all the code paths that led to error handling was another thing that brought down the size of the game.

I'm sure the artists don't give any care about the parts of the training that aren't directly related to generating images, such as models which generate captions for images.

0g means less than half a gram per serving . Given an arbitrarily small serving size, everything has 0g of sugar. Like how PAM spray grease has 0G of fat due to a tiny serving size.

A side benefit of the 2GB address space limit for 32-bit Windows programs is that magic numbers are not valid pointers, and will instantly cause an access violation if used.

It's a .NET program without any obfuscation. You can read the source code using any .NET decompiler, such as ILSPY.

So you have an "Index Out Of Bounds" problem. It could either directly lead to reading out-of-bounds memory and generating an Access Violation exception, or you could see the out-of-bounds array access and throw an exception. Eit

On Windows, you do share the screen. I haven't seen any VNC servers that give you a new session like Terminal Services would. On Linux, I've used both kinds of VNC server. One does start a new X instance, while the other one sha

Moonlight Game Streaming has pretty much displaced VNC for my uses. It just needs some better features for things like file transfer, clipboard sharing, etc...

On the GBA and GBA SP screen, pure on/off flickering every frame does not perfectly fake transparency, but it gets very close. On the AGS101 or NDS Lite screen, it looks a lot worse. The NDS lite screen does have sharp crisp pixels.

Some developers used graph paper, other developers drew the graphics using the actual hardware on a TV. Plot the pixels while zoomed in, but see the real thing live on a TV. To make drawing on actual hardware work, you either used battery-

Let's not discount the years since 1997 when people actually did play retro games on high resolution computer monitors, with big chunky pixels.
