I think higher. You can always send other diplomats but you can't make a new place for them to crash.

Oh, I love those guys who "know you lost after 10 minutes" in Dota...

It's not about "protest against promotion of paid-for editions", it's about an attack on the normal edition. The phrase "intended for individual use" or "intended for personal use" is highly damaging

No, the reason is that the people who teach are naturally of greater experience and age. When you reach their age/experience they are starting to make sense.

The hell? Just put big automatic gates everywhere. Seems like a simple life/cost estimation exercise.

You've just defined an absurd and then said that it's not absurd...

Can we start requiring legally tracing of the origin of these decisions? Someone has decided that. Why can't we have a name?

As the OpenDiablo2 developer has confirmed: cross-platform C# is a pain. Yes, I understand that Windows is big and there are a lot of C# developers/fans here who immediately scream "What? C# can do anything!!!", but in practi

It works in frameworks like Unity Engine, but otherwise it ends up like Space Engineers Windows-only which is a shame.

Sometimes designing for hypothetical cases makes software simpler. The general case is often easier to understand. Other thought: good engineers can guess future cases more accurately, that's why they're good engineers.

Does anyone know why would you try to develop an opensource game in C# in the first place?

I didn't have a feeling that it's set in a foreign world. It looks like some ugly moving things got slapped on the map because in a video game you naturally have to shoot things. When developers want to pass a message they use cat

The gameplay is building a factory. An example of a more sophisticated interaction with the in-game "nature" is Minecraft: there the living things just become a part of your factory. The simulation in Factorio isn't "har

No, FOSS/proprietary is orthogonal to that. You can find simple and performant software. The problem is in something else.

It's a good addition to the running joke about Valve's games that EU servers are Russia West.

Looks like the goal was to cram as much as it can fit, so no fancy spacing.

Nowadays you have easier time to actually use hard information: build things faster and have impact. But the soft "information" (the one used to affect people directly) has never gone away, it has diversified and it's going s

GCC supports Intel syntax. Why there is always a guy who doesn't like the default and unaware that it's just one of the options?

NT? Well, several decades after the UNIX, after several tries of making Windows... you can probably come up with something that works.

C as a restricted C++ could be probably something like GLib: a deeply object-oriented library (nowadays C++ isn't about OOP at all though).

The whole point is that you can't fight the old "full-fledged" OS with a new one. The aim of the Google's web is to reduce the role of the OS to the "BIOS".

Swap is purely psychological. It's like a slower RAM that stops you so you can think about what you've done without actually losing your work.

The debug server kinda builds upon the dbg/src packages. So all the maintainers of the distributions have to do is maintain the compatibility of the dbg/src package structure (which looks like happening for the RPM format) and to

Oh yes, the size is killing it. Our applications are not that big so the bandwidth use isn't completely insane, but I see the problem.

What are you talking about? Linux distros come with debug info packages.
