If you're interested in doing anything with Minecraft where starting from the official client/server won't cut it, #mcdevs is the right place. I have no idea about what the players want these days. The large-player-count serv

While there's no reason this is fundamentally impossible, there are several difficulties: - Forge doesn't really have an API layer and expects devs to work directly against deobfuscated Minecraft code. Mods break every Minecraft v

Based on a quick read of the source, the conversion from a "<param..>" input to a "PathBuf" type strips leading ".." components automatically.

"End to end" refers specifically to the two people involved - that is, nobody but the sender and recipient of a communication can read it. Twitter DMs happen over TLS, but they're not end-to-end - Twitter knows the content

The site could just as easily serve you the resized image directly instead of an HTML page which will then embed the same resized image. I've already seen Imgur tell the difference between page visits and appearing in src="",

This is a good choice of selectors, but I wonder what styles one should apply to <meta>, <script>, or <link> tags that will get them to actually display anything. Some fiddling in Firefox didn't reveal the solution.

GP means Visual Basic, probably as in the VB macros that you can write within Word/Excel/Access etc., in which there is surely a huge amount of code written by otherwise non-programmers.

A bit of both. Code still belongs in a class, not pictured here. `static` blocks are executed when the class is loaded and are usually used to fill `static final` members. In a toy example like this it's shorter than writing the `main(

Nothing you need to build, but your customers will be building their workflow around your outer layer.

There are other differences, e.g. one might hope to escape off of a moving train or arrest its progress, both of which are nigh-impossible on a flying object, autonomous or not.

It's not specifically new technology that's being deliniated by "Moloch". The article is long but explains clearly the (not entirely new) association: Moloch represents the sacrifice of human values on the altar of compe

While maybe literally true, "risk that you cannot understand" is a little overthreatening. Are you implying extrajudicial financial ruin, torture, murder? I doubt it, so what?

Maybe I read it differently, but it seems to me that GP us more concerned with the institutional bias and the attitude rather than anything relating to legal liability... the programmer is allowed to get away with believing that they ar

This is doable today. Streams are mixed client-side. The downsides are compression (Opus at 96kbps is pretty good, though) and loss of audio mixing (echo cancellation, noise suppression) secret sauce, though this could definitely be reappli

It is, at least, honest: "here is someone who did what I was too cowardly to do".

I believe the path being suggested is: write new software in Python 3, or at least in a 3-friendly way.

Maybe I read it differently. When I read "the developer or any other specific entity", I don't think that the network users count as "specific entities"; they are other users of the software, and you have control ov

A communications platform is useless if its user base is small; who will you communicate with? People have some limit on the amount of different communication platforms they can participate in simultaneously. The number one way to get more

It's known as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

I'm gonna guess it's temporary; I get the impression GitHub likes to test its changes before it releases them (I've been seeing the announced license indicator for several days), and that probably goes extra for logged-out us

I can't speak for GP, but I like to use single quotes for symbolic strings ('go_left', 'parent', 'alpha-campus', some_map['fixed_key']) and double quotes for textual strings ("An error occur

I suppose it's up to interpretation; I got more of an "upper executive mismanagement" vibe, with which Edge of Tomorrow is consistent, than "crew vs filmmakers".

Few games actually need those admin priveleges: Windows since Vista has a feature called VirtualStore which maps underprivileged writes to Program Files to a location inside AppData (which is also where games and apps should save their non-

YouTube goes above and beyond the law in favoring copyright holders. Historically, it doesn't take notices with any legal force to get videos removed or forcibly monetized, just an (often automated) entry in YouTube's system; an a

Your problem still seems to be with the sloppiness of the patent system, not patents themselves. Patents are meant to protect inventions, not ideas, and novel inventions are worth something.

MSYS2 (a Cygwin-based platform) does renaming, mapping colons to U+F03A from the Private Use Area (which renders in Explorer like a bullet point). Its git package cloned the repository from the article with no problem, "ls" shows

I would think that non-techies would be even more confused and annoyed by their computer suddenly drastically changing out from underneath them without their permission.

While you might argue that "nefarious" is an overly serious descriptor, I don't think it's wholly inappropriate to think of a symbol intended as a warning as such.

Perhaps they are interested in defending against sniffing further along the line (ISP, backbone) or are just making the change as part of the general strategy to encourage HTTPS use? While I see your concern about inconveniencing smaller pl
