Sure, but doesn't that end up being more complex than web sockets to implement correctly? And keeping one connection then we're in the same spot regarding the scaling issues as with web sockets right? Or does plain TCP/IP hav

I think it might actually work for other digital items outside games - sincerely in games unless they're interoperable between platforms I don't understand what would be the advantage - but maybe things like coupons, say you got a

Yeap, that's I think one of the disconnects - while it would allow you to have a market beyond the game the items, in the case of a fully digital TCG, are only valuable due to the game and their scarcity in the game, plus the game need

I'm actually building a TCG so this is from my perspective in that context and referring to TCG "like" apps only. An abstract representation of a digital item not tied to the app/platform has some benefits: - It can allo

Input formatting like, emails, phone, or things that you can know in the frontend, can all be done (and should be) on the client side (many even on html itself although it's a bit lacking in some cases, that would definitively be the

I'm not going to say web sockets are the silver bullet as I don't think it is, but the "only thing you can save are a few header bytes" is a bit reductionist. If you have authentication then cookies have to be going out

They look pretty good to me, I just shelled out for a laptop but would love to see the concept take over. The build quality is always the most essential: - monitor - this is what we look at for hours on every day - keyboard - I personally l

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. (and I'm not making fun of this - it's not a situation I would wish to be)

Yeah I mean, if your study is implying the apocalypse (or even if not, but more so if that's the case) you better put the code there, because that's what the scientific method requires, how should I believe your conclusions or and

(this got out of hand...) I understand what you're saying and think you're right, in terms of not having had the same time running in the wild to have the same knowledge base and ecosystem as other solutions. But looking at what i

Yeah, that UI looks like it could perhaps use some improvement, it's a bit on the 80's side (which isn't a bad thing in itself, I mean, I like my emacs, but I only use keyboard there unless I forget the bindings, which is not

So they put 3 guys who seem to never had done such a thing in charge of a $1B transaction, that requires special parameters, and they didn't even checked if their assumptions were right? And here I am, tearing out my hair, sleepless ni

You wouldn't be able to distinguish between: A) A universe with God; B) A simulated universe (where the simulation due to the nature of being simulated will have all the characteristics that lead to the conceptualisation of God, hence

I haven't heard nor used it but it looks great, will give it a try, thanks for sharing

That's interesting and I didn't know that it was a common occurrence, although, still, in the example you showed wouldn't that be because it's being used in a face to face situation (or in writing if you're narratin

I found it deeply ironic that you're replying to this: >Is this a British centric view of history? It seems very one sided... reply With that quote. This phrase: >In some cases, the superiority of English archives stems from the
