Remember back in the old days when you could just run your own game server, even though it wasn't open source? That would work too. Or peer to peer LAN gaming, why is that not popular any more? Designing a game to use developer hosted

I did something similar for the sequel Escape Velocity Override when I was a kid. It also had the same Captain Hector. Though in my case I buffed my own ship's armor and shields instead. I was not very good at the game (still am not to

Way fewer people are going to look at obscure things, so a lower percentage of issues will likely have been found. There is less fame and fotune in spending security research time on obscure software. Most small libraries won't be cove

Love this idea. I'm curious as to the prompt used and code behind it. I could see this being fun with some tweaks as well. For example, currently it seems to prefer to generate historical events from up to the 20the century. I could se

Define production. Docker compose is fine for running a small internal service in production for dozens of users (i.e. not for developing said service, but for using it). I would assume it isn't fine to run a hyperscaler (but I wouldn&

If you don't read a book multiple times, why not borrow from a public library (if such a thing exist in the country you live in)? Here in Sweden they are free, and you can even get them to loan a book from another library if they don&#

Small country side roads routinely lack a central line in Sweden. Even smaller roads can lack the side lines too. And I'm talking asphalt roads here still. The same happens on many residential streets in towns and cities. But sure, it

Absolutely a fair point. And I wrote: > You should assume that everyone has a hidden agenda when money is involved. As an European there is little difference between what US is doing and China is doing when it comes to tactics. The parti

Every other brans of fans I have used (which to be fair is far from all of them) have only lasted 3 maybe 4 years before they started making more noise than when new. They weren't completely broken, but any increase in noise is unaccep

I usually look at the monitor, not the case under the desk. ;) That said, I don't want RGB bleed, nor do i want a case where I see the insides. The computer is there to be powerful and discreet (both when it comes to noise and looks).

When my GPU fans went bad and I didn't want to buy a new GPU (nothing wrong with my 1070, it still runs the games I care about) I bought some smaller noctua fans and 3D printed an adapter plate (in PETG). The connectors were non-standa

I love Noctua fans and I don't care about their colour. For all I cared they could be pink as long as they are best in class on noise and reliability. They are going inside the computer where they aren't visible. The point of a

Just make a brown case (maybe with some walnut accents?) and the brown Noctua fans will be a perfect fit.

We do have syntax highlighting these days. And our editors work like hypertext, where I can go to definitions, find usages, get inheritance hierarchies etc. Quite a ways from your suggestion, but also a few steps removed from a type writer.

If the difference is that large, it seems plausible to me that the Chinese models are subsidized in order to gain market share, this is not exactly the first time the Chinese government has done so (or at least been rumoured to have done so

From what I read recently (and I don't remember where it was), the current thinking is that it wasn't oxygen levels or temperatures, but the lack of predators that let dragonflies grow that big. A big dragonfly is much slower and

Some languages, such as C++, allow for specialisation via templates and compile time evabulation (constexpr). It would be possible to detect when the size of the data type matches one of the integer types, is a POD, is comparable via memcmp

I would expect the standard library of various languages to provide an optimised implementation such as this. Then everyone downstream benefits, and benefits from future improvements when compiled for a newer version of the language /

First thing I have heard about NetApp. Seems to be some enterprise focused company, with more than one product. Not sure which product of theirs you refer to. Synology, TrueNAS and Proxmox probably also have NFS support I would assume, and

NFS is more annoying on Linux than just using Samba though, at least for the NAS use case. With Samba on my server I can just browse to it in KDE's file manager Dolphin, and samba configuration is a relatively straight forward ini styl

Storing the length in the allocation has potential performance tradeoffs too! The most obvious is that taking a substring/string view will need a copy (or use a different type that store the length outside the allocation). But it also

The PS/2 connector is what came after that the bus mouse. Back then the mouse was connected to a specialised add-in card. Probably an ISA card if I remember correctly.

Why was the clutch so heavy? Did it serve some purpose or was it just due to the limitations of the technology at the time? I have certainly driven cars with lighter and heavier clutches (I live in EU, automatics weren't popular until

Interesting, I had passed it by when I heard it had a time limit and reset mechanic (not unlike Zelda Majora's Mask). I hated that mechanic in Majora's Mask (and I never finished that game), it made the game feel stressful to me.

Personally, I had wanted a new Myst, and The Witness wasn't that, and so I was a bit disappointed. Obduction was released a year or two later and it was similar to the Myst I remember from my childhood and it was also a good game. I

Even better would be if the website provided the age rating in a HTTP header, and the browser could locally check if the account is allowed to see it. That way you avoid exposing the age of the user. And yes, even sending an age bracket exp

I think that is in line with what I said: a balance is best. I have seen the opposite of what you described: long messages with no paragraph breaks. Not great either.

A tip here, if your wick is symmetric you can turn it upside down and get some more life out of it. My humidifier has rectangular wicks mounted at an angle, and only the top back tends to get a lot of minerals. I can thus turn them around a
