I was shocked at how good Proton was. I accidentally became a digital nomad (went on holiday, couldn't come home due to covid restrictions, decided to never come back) and have been without my gaming desktop for months now. Age of Empi

IRC is a protocol, not a service. The alternative discussed is slack/discord, where you sign up to use their service. You can pretend that TheLounge is IRC and then it's just the same as slack/discord from a user's persp

I recently found myself in the same position by being in Asia while working for a European company. All my free time is in the morning without having to wake up early (in the dark). I go surfing or swimming/gym and then work 12pm-11pm

I once met someone that (allegedly?) ran a poker bot ring in the mid-late 2000's. The basic idea was that you get as many bots per table as you can and share information between them. Suddenly you have much more information about the c

I used both BPC-157 and TB-500 for a grade 4 SLAP tear. There are different surgeries used for SLAP tears, and I could not find a surgeon that would do the surgery I wanted (in the UK). I can't remember the exact details, but one is mo

Did you get visibly pissed off with the question? That might be why the interview went poorly. Whenever I get pop quiz questions, I just say I don't remember and if it came up in a real codebase I would test it in a REPL to see what it

Ha, I like the wording on the "The “Two-And-Done” Rule". I came to the same conclusion fairly early in my career. My anaology is a bit more grim, I would "hand them the rope" (so that they could hang themselves) after tw

Interesting, I was unaware that Unity was all .NET, thanks for the info! I have messed about with Terraria reverse engineering (pure .NET) and that was easy like you said.

For games, I find that it is much easier to dynamically anaylze them while they are running to get an idea where you should be looking. Use something like cheat engine to get the address of health and use the built in debugger to find what

Use a 3rd party client. On android, "Reddit is fun" and "RedReader" support downloading videos. Possibly others exist, but those are the only ones I've tried. I suspect iOS has some options as well.

Just to clarify, I do agree that what they taught is useful to know. Just that the barrier to entry to learn it by yourself is much lower. To experiment with software concepts "all" you need is a computer and a compiler. Experimen

The fact that it's a single bit confuses me. If it was a full null byte (0x00) it would be easier to explain. C strings are null terminated, so you could assume the editor stopped reading when it hit "the end of a string" but

For what it's worth, I bought an nvidia shield pro and use that. Just like how Roku started, they just make hardware. There are a few subtle adverts are the nvidia remote play stuff (preinstalled applications) but I hardly notice them.
