UK speed limits are in Mph, not km/h, so it is a 30 Mph road.

That's not very absurd if you let the printing press stick ads all over your pamphlets, getting them revenue. A better comparison is expecting a printing press to want to associate themselves and their ads with controversial content.

It is if they want to bet on the value of bitcoin. Why use some hardware for 40-60 days to mine some coin which may or may not be worth $1500 when you could sell immediately for that amount? Sure you can mine for longer, but I'd bet th

107 wrong and 6.2 million correct seems like a pretty low fraction to me.

Why is it up to his lawyer to prove he wasn't at the scene of the crime? Surely it should be up to the other side to prove he was? Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Some fun I had with free pascal in college was that you can $DEFINE almost anything to almost anything else: {$DEFINE (:=ab} {$DEFINE ):=ba} ...etc... Code becomes pretty ridiculous: WriteLn ab ab a + b ba * c ba If you de

I'm with you on this! Clicked on the same suggestion and had no idea where to start. Expected to see a "src" folder which is typically used to separate the source code of the project from the docs/objs/tests/ut

Yeah, I should have said that I copied this from the "corrected" version which replaces the character and place references.

The last paragraph is almost definitely about Valve: "And here we are. I spoke of my return to this shore. It has been a circuitous path to lands I once knew, and surprising to see how much the terrain has changed. Enough time has pass

I'm surprised it's not complete yet. DotA 2 has been using it for 2 years, but CS:GO is still being ported to it and expected to be finished later this year.

An old beater car can be a huge inconvenience though. My 16-year old (when bought) Saxo had to have bearings replaced, but the bolts for the suspension arm were so rusted they snapped during the process and cost me 1/2 the price of the

It's only advertising if the positive review/comments were actually payed for. It's completely different if the review/gameplay video wasn't payed for and contained unbiased opinions.

Slow to verify, sure, but difficulty is definitely easily adjustable. Just scale up the game map and number of units, suddenly you have a larger search space for navigation and more AI objects to manoeuvre, too.

There are also many, many, many 4XX status codes which are free. Any of those could be used for that, why (possibly) break compatibility with previous frameworks when not necessary?

I'm imagining an AI war where the next advancement is the micro of the siege engines to optimise targets and timing of shots to hit large groups after the initial splash avoidance. AI on both sides keep trying to maintain a one-step-ah

I'd argue that Befunge is far simpler. It's yet-another-esoteric-programming-language but the program pointer can move in 4 directions instead of 2. Every instruction is simple stack/heap manipulation or IO. AsciiDots looks a

Not sure what you mean by FHD and 2k as they are essentially the same (2048x1080 vs 1920x1080). I assume you must mean 4k (or rather, UHD with 3840x2160) instead of 2k.

You don't need a C compiler to run an already compiled program. You may need libraries, just like almost every language, but only the developer needs to download the compiler and not every single user. It gives options to the developer

I would argue the other way. Something which requires a base implementation to be installed on a system which generates different machine code based on a single specification is less portable than a macro processor generating different vers

It should have been put in the title that this question is from 2011, mobile gaming was on the rise then but not nearly as much as now.

Actually, if your M/2 isn't integer division (which I assume is the case from your use of ceil around it first), your 5x5 pyramid would look like this: 23443 34554 45665 45665 34554 Using max_height - (abs

They changed the nature of powerup probability distributions to be based on distance from first, rather than position in race. It's now entirely possible to get a blue shell in 2nd if the person in 1st is half a lap ahead of everyone e

The curiosity is still there in kids though, and that's what matters when it comes to learning game development. Around the age of 11 or 12 I got curious, and discovered Game Maker which at the time was a very simple little tool with a
