Not an expert but this is how I understand it. Yggdrasil is a P2P mesh network. You configure peers to join the network and your computer becomes a relay node for everyone else to use. It doesn't work behind a NAT without port forwardi

BG3 is actually a perfect counterexample here. It doesn't have DRM, doesn't require an online account to play and uses direct connections for multiplayer. Nothing needs to be done to preserve it.

If the returned value is still valid despite an error, then the function would return (u32, Option<Error>), perfectly valid rust. If the value is meaningless in case of an error then using it is incorrect code; you wouldn't want

There's a big difference between authoritative networking with some security holes and non-authoritative networking. Note also that hitting 100% headshots is entirely within the rules of the game; it has nothing to do with the networki

All these games already have an authoritative server. These cheaters aren't breaking the rules of the game by being invincible, super speedy, etc. they're aim-botting and wall hacking. Those cheats can't be prevented with aut

Note that at least for now you can also downgrade the firmware and use the "legacy" plugin with OrcaSlicer to fully restore functionality.

> Funny because the Qualcomm sm7450-ab snapdragon 7 gen-1 page lists itself as only supporting LPDDR5. Those pages contain scarce technical information, it would be silly to say that anything not listed there is explicitly not supported.

That's not a radiation hardened chip, it's regular off-the-shelf consumer electronics. The "solar radiation" test they advertise is part of MIL-STD-810H. It tests whether the electronics survive regular sunlight on earth

How does any of that prevent the phone from having the latest chip and copious ram?

by ben-schaaf 5mo ago
Their latest and greatest PRO 3 runs a chip that was mid-range when it releases 4 years ago and only 6 GB of RAM. That is decidedly not a flagship.

For a pretty small N I've found that less clever can be quite a bit faster. I'd try a linear search - possibly SIMD if you can change the data format to struct-of-arrays. An adaptive approach that uses linear search up to a certai

The names of these things are hazy and inconsistent. In Java and C# an interned string is the same type as other strings. Others describe atoms as interned strings, some call them symbols. At my work we call the u16/u32 atoms and inter

You might want to refresh your understanding of the word optimisation. Changing a system to be more effective/efficient is optimisation, how big that change is makes no difference.

There's really an endless list of these optimizations. A few I've used (though not necessarily in rust): Atoms: Each string can be referenced with a single u32 or even u16, and they're inherently deduplicated. Bump allocator:

I agree, competition and economies of scale are much larger factors. Custom RAM SKUs for a single manufacturer with no competition will obviously cost more than an industry standard part. And you'll be locked to buying RAM upgrades fro
