Indie games do this too. My favorite examples are: Hatoful Boyfriend (remake that uses Unity), a simple graphical choose your own adventure with no animation at all that is painfully slow on my 3-4 year old laptop (although this must be in

I haven't looked at this updated version (site is busy :/) but the version I looked at a while ago is quite good. The author's use of register to avoid aliasing is something I hadn't heard before and seems like a good id

The Oregon/Washington/Colorado vote by mail system is very convenient. We get paper ballots by mail which can be returned by mail or dropped in official boxes and the results are scanned. This leaves a paper trail that is possib

Obama started executing people remotely right away, not "later". The fact that this doesn't disqualify someone for a peace prize is horrible. Since people do still pay attention to it for some reason, I'm glad that they

Very cool, although not yet the same as well established production operating systems. I think Rust will be a great alternative to C in a decade and worth considering even now. In case it wasn't clear, my "to a lesser extent Rust

That is a great post on teaching C. I think there are a couple of ways that it could be argued that "C helps you think like a computer": most CPUs have been designed around running C code quickly and the oddities of the language f

I second this recommendation, although it is worth pointing out that they are not that bright even on full. Fine for going to bed but maybe not the only thing you want on a cloudy day. The sunset mode is really nice too, and I really real

Very interesting, thanks! Especially that second link. Interestingly, I seem to have a little different effect than they did in the second illusion they present. First of all, I find there are three distinct perceptions, the left-right an

A change in gut bacteria could potentially do that. However, normally that is quite difficult to change long term. I seem to have a collection of gut bacteria that give me bad gas quite often without sticking to a very strict diet and I f

Besides what others have said about moderation and general lack of features, I wanted to add that hckrnews.com is a really beautiful interface that all news sites should copy IMO. I think the interaction between hckrnews.com readers and ho

But will that actually help? I could easily imagine Facebook matching people who have shared contact numbers, even if the contact number shared is not associated with an account. Possibly they don't do that to try to avoid this situa

As others have mentioned, there are a variety of algae based vegan EPA and DHA supplements on the market now, but most people probably don't need to worry about it. Some people do not feel good when switching to a vegan diet, and EPA&

Thanks for the perspective. One small correction/clarification: ChaCha operates on pairs 32-bits at a time, not 64-bits, which makes it nice for 32-bit only systems in software. I really wish ChaCha20/Poly1305 was included in be

I like the 1024x1024 picture; it looks a bit like a bird to me, or maybe a stingray. One interesting application of bitwise AND is in cryptography, particularly LRX (logical rotations and xor) algorithms popularized by Keccak/SHA-3. B

Yes, even with the --dns option, although only with the default method. tproxy mode might (most likely would?) fix it. I tried it once and it didn't work at all, but I have since learned that I did it wrong since you need to explicit
