It's amazing what's possible on old hardware. My favorite example is probably the remake of the wonderful second reality demo. The original was released in 1993 for the PC ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFv7mHTf0

One of my favorite tricks is this one (I thought I read about it in that exact collection but it isn't there, so here you go): Back on Wing Commander 1 we were getting an exception from our EMM386 memory manager when we exited the gam

I wonder if there's any library out there that uses the SO_REUSEPORT option (see http://lwn.net/Articles/542629/ ). It allows multiple programs to bind and accept on the same port. So I guess it should be poss

Digital Ocean has something called "Private Networking" that's internal to the data center but shared with all other customers. It's not obvious from reading the website that this is the case.

There is https://github.com/bwapi/bwapi , an API for brood war. Not sure what the current state is. But it seems possible to use it while still controlling the game yourself.

Please note that private networking on DigitalOcean doesn't limit this network interface to your own instances. All other customers on the same datacenter can connect to services exposed there. I don't have any experience with Ret

> There don't seem to be any publicly available libraries focused on this kind of thing, so I assume that they develop their networking stuff mostly in-house. Have a look at RakNet ( http://www.jenkinssoftware.com/ )

Thanks for the response. So this validation is required before you issue certificates? I was concerned there because non-https traffic seems to be able to use cloudflare before verification.

by dividuum 12y ago
I hope so. But I'm still trying to figure out how. The only way I see they do it is that they check that the nameservers responsible for the domain actually points to cloudflares nameservers. This check doesn't seem to happen for

by dividuum 12y ago
Understood. But how does that work in cloudflares case? Since they magically upgrade 2 million websites by the end of the day I cannot imagine all those sites have those verification files available.

by dividuum 12y ago
Not sure I'm following you. Probably because I didn't use SSL on cloudflare before, so I don't know about any verification file. How does that work? I guess before serving SSL traffic for a domain they verify both that the na

by dividuum 12y ago
EDIT: Won't work: You need to verify that you own the domain by pointing your NS records to cloudflares nameservers. What prevents me from doing this MITM attack in (for example) a public wifi: I add a domain I don't own (example.

Not C++ but C, but I did get a basic port of my program info-beamer running in a few hours. It's a C program that's controlled by Lua scripts and renders to OpenGL. The example scene just shows an image that gets modified by a GLS

Have a look at http://www.imdb.com/interfaces . I'm not sure if the information in those files is sufficient or if the license prevents that, but maybe that's a starting point.

From what I understand from the description in this video, Journey for PS3 might be such a game. Unfortunately I don't have a PS3 to test it myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD7KWAQr8Q8#t=1746s

Great to see another lua based service. I'm running http://geolua.com/ which also uses Python (and even gunicorn) for the web interface and lua (in a custom libevent based server) for running user provided lua code. I sandboxed lua using

Wow. Didn't know about nodebox. I wrote a similar tool named info-beamer ( http://info-beamer.org ). Its focus is livecoding for interactive OpenGL visualizations. Think about digital signage controlled by Lua. It was inspired by Inventing
