Now I almost regret never having really played WC back then. Suddenly having the ability to play a round or two in co-op sounds pretty amazing and it's the first time I've seen DOSBox used to augment a running program by peek- and

Seen the GTA post already and the sscanf behavior is very surprising as one would expect it to parse the given string until the given format is satisfied or \0 is hit. Seems like this is not the case. Found this: https://stackove

No guarantee, but from what I understand the issue is with objects created by ctypes parsing only. I doubt that any json parser would use that: >>> import ctypes;x = ctypes.c_double.from_param(1e300);print(type(x)) <cl

There's also this method of subconscious password storage from a few years ago, which, at least in theory might make it difficult for you to even reveal your password: https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/06/

> Lets say someone gets access to the server, they can still read the ENV vars, right? Correct. Easiest way is to look at `/proc/$pid/environ`. It contains the \0 separated values for that process.

There's https://github.com/danielmgmi/lodash.lua :-) And also https://luafun.github.io , which probably has overlapping functionality and is optimized with regards to LuaJIT.

IIRC the vertex coordinates were single precision floats (at least that's what my 24 year old pascal code uses :-) ) that were then additionally scaled and translated (so the center point was at the floor). What made it wobbly was the

But the embedded google map (especially when zoomed in or slowly panning across multiple map tiles) provides an approximate location to google regardless. Maybe that's irrelevant, but something to consider. Avoiding this might be trick
