When I would go there for many years I wondered what the hell that giant globe was for!

Fry's had an interesting warranty program that I really enjoyed and their employees would build a PC for you with the parts you purchased for free or help you put it together. This made it really nice for someone who was about to drop

A lot of repositories and similar go offline randomly. It hasn't happened in a few months but usually the Microsoft package mirrors go past their Azure limits and I get reminders.

Starcraft 1 is well known for having an absurdly hacked together pathfinding algorithm that almost stopped the game from shipping and the bugs it created are now expected mechanics of that game, such as "worker drilling", where

I think this actually can be used to optimize the pathfinding. Basically create a fake unit that is used for the real/complex path, then have the other units follow it with basic collision or a very tuned down pathfinding algorithm sim

That was my experience as well. My understanding is that the simulation will be bottlenecked by the slowest PC. All of my friends had pretty powerful PCs, but someone among us had a slightly weaker one in terms of single core performance, w

The pathfinding algorithm has been decently optimized. The reality is that 600 units finding paths and keeping them up to date is a lot of work. Some of the pathfinding is precomputed, some cannot be as it involves other units and formation

0ad is a fun game but the last few times I have tried to play it with my friends it lagged very bad once a few units were moving around. I actually was able to get it to play kind of normal by hacking the pathfinding code to give up after a

Discord has a lot of terrible servers. This is one of the reasons they were not trusted when they came out and wanted to do identity verification. They already have a lot of information yet fail to do meaningful enforcement at scale.

Obviously they are cryptographic hashing functions as they exhibit an avalanche effect!

I understand that part, but I don't see why do this instead of basic Makefile or CMake setup. It seems like more work than a regular linker at that point. For what purpose?

Thank you for sharing. The only thing I don't understand why this is a header only implementation with a macro that goes in a C++ file. #define CANVAS_ITY_IMPLEMENTATION

Full disclosure is responsible disclosure. Companies can't hide when there is a website or bot spewing out the information with their logo next to it. Proxies are cheaper than lawyers.

A sobering reminder that full disclosure is responsible disclosure. The only chains you should have on you are proxy chains.

Strangely I thought Phil Spencer was doing a lot of good for the Xbox brand, minus some of the recent price gouging.

Did they actually run the DDoS via a script or was this a case of inserting a link and many users clicked it? They are substantially different IMO

It's mostly all ICE engagement bait on both sides. In the same way we are all guilty of upvoting an article without reading it, they will amplify their ideas or viewpoints by signal boosting a video. The same way an echo chamber forms

It's even worse now with cheating creating the world of Kernel Level Anticheat (KLAC) who knows what they are doing! A dream for someone who wants to move laterally through a network, probe, etc.

It depends on the hour and the ability of the franchise owners to keep qualified talent. Utah is a decent state without crackheads everywhere.
