Look up BF2. Cheat tools would just disable limits locally on ammo requests, vehicle requests, artillery strikes, and so on. Server didn't check anything. It had fancy anti-cheat tech. Which was bypassed by just writing and restoring e

Or they could just not trust the clients, instead of throwing the problem over the wall. A lot of these games with fancy anti cheat protection the cheat tools basically just tell the server "spawn me a vehicle right here" and the

Yea, I haven't really needed an NVENC version yet. Will probably add it... eventually... for my laptop. Shouldn't be too any more difficult than just swapping out the right parts, though.

Reverse engineering data formats is one of the most fun and satisfying things to do in programming.

Largely because it's a melting pot of ancient and modern coding standards. Got the C Win32 API along COM style and then whatever AMF is doing. Makes things very verbose and explicit. I've seen worse Python. Personally, I think it&

On Windows I use a small program that grabs a frame every second through the desktop API as a DirectX texture, and compresses that straight on the GPU to h265 using AMF. I'll upload the source in case it's interesting for anyone e

Needs to have a gamma aware option to dither correctly. Calculate distance to the nearest grayscale step in linear space. (Steps still being evenly spaced in sRGB gamma space.) (Fwiw, the examples on dithering on Wikipedia were still incorr

Cocomelon are all sung in this weird smug condescending tone. It's really unpleasant. Compare with Pokémon Kids TV, which sounds really cheerful, and you can hear the singer is really enjoying themselves. Also mostly the same classic c

It's a base62 encoder that takes multiple integers as input. Probably a bit-length prefixed encoding. I am assuming it just pads an extra junk integer to re-roll the encoded number.

ISP controlled modem counts your incoming data in a short rolling window. If it exceeds a value, it throttles below your normal speed and buffers or drops incoming packets to slow things down, until the bandwidth budget is compensated for (

by kaetemi 3y ago
You can safely assume the bursting itself is badly implemented on shitty ISP modems and causes spikes of high packet loss and latency when it switches. Say you're bursting 1gbps on a connection with 100ms latency. That connection squee

by kaetemi 3y ago
If you set your router to limit bandwidth below that initial burst speed, to your actual connection speed, you'll get consistent fast speed. The burst mechanism of your provider possibly squeezes below your normal speed to compensate f

No additional dependencies, full control over what libraries get included, and no insane folder structure requirement.

UK curriculum sounds good, then. Where I live a lot of the pre-school kids are excessively exposed to YouTube, which is primarily still drilling on the uppercase alphabet songs.

A basic code signing cert can be had at $150 per year. That's already with the thing where they check if your company information is real, and it does the job for SmartScreen. Not sure if there's any advantage in the more expensiv

Terminology questions are very very ambiguous in general without academic context bias. Ask toddlers if 0 is a round number. :')

Try asking if B is a letter or a word. (Pronounce it as 'b', not 'bee', or you'll just make it more confusing.) Seems a lot of these basic classifications are an early stumbling block. Even if they can count or ratt
