I blame the rise of more effective DRM and the removal/demoting of lan play in favor of hosted servers. All of my favorite RTS games were discovered while at a friends house. We’d do a quick copy and have an epic game session, creating

I use 2, one controls fans and pumps, linear actuators, and sensors for my greenhouse. The other does likewise (plus heaters and heat lamps) for my chicken coop. I prefer rolling my own to ensure it works without internet.

It’s only true if you have the function body available for deduction. Headers/decls need types.

Lots of things are “rooted” in dark places. Rocket technology developed in wartime Germany. Some pesticides came out of gas chambers. Agent orange is a herbicide now. Should we throw out everything developed by someone who holds a bad idea

You’re complaining that DOS lacked features and protections. But zero cost abstractions like DOS can still be robust (in the sense of being reliable and solid.) yes it requires more trust, But there is no guarantee modern OSes can run arbit

It is so incredibly stupid on so many levels to be spraying antifungals into the environment. Not least because of the resistance problem. There are many ways that fungus interacts with plants and animals. Destabilizing the base of some cri

I wouldn’t mind having these customization methods you suggest organized under different “smart playlists” with different recommendation methods and levels. Some are just chronological subscriptions, others try to dig up new and interesting

I'd hope for a journal the only publishes replicated results. I think there is limited funding for this right now.

Fortran has better aliasing rules than C. Most of the strangeness you have to do with restrict pointers in C are not a concern in high performance code. Because strides and dimensions and types are all laid out explicitly, the optimizer can

It was metricized with all the rest before that. What happened in 59 was harmonization with other countries including Canada, who had a different agreement on the metric yard. The older american definition was 1 yard = 3600/3937 meter

I downvote you because the research withstands your attempted ad hominem attack. If the result is good we should not cast dispersion just because the researcher has a particular bias. In fact those times when your ideology does not line up

Would be fun to hook this up to crossbow or another robust virtual network stack. Virtually wire up virtual networking. Throw in a little virtual PDA to configure and spin up new VMs (spawning them into rack on demand).

you don't have to spoof, just leave the WAN device off around the time when your dhcp lease expires. When you come back online, you'll find you have a new lease with likely a new address.

Use an STM channel or some other lock and put your messages for the shared resource (the terminal ui) through that channel. There’s no way to automatically figure out what granularity the programmer expects from the output so make them spec

I'd guess it chooses the implicit string(const char*) constructor and then feeds it a nullptr. I think the plan is to get rid of this in the future with the new nullptr_t/nullptr mechanism, but for now we're stuck with it.

Another wild guess: a sphere of gas collapsed to a rotating disk. If you take a sphere and squash it flat, the middle has most of the mass, and it declines to zero as you get farther. I would guess the pattern of falloff of a squashed spher
