Yep, I much prefer KDE's default binding of meta+LMB/RMB anywhere on a window to move and resize it, rather than ginormous title bars. Might not be "professional" but it sure is more productive.

About 4 years ago I think, they were paying people to answer assessments for the sake of answering, so my guess they were collecting data to do machine validation of actual applicants.

If the graph is directly modified by dynamic obstacles, store "time to available" in the busy edges. Then the unit walking in can check if by the time it gets there, the edge is still busy. If obstacles are handled separately, you

Quite the contrary, actually. Some games check for inputs every frame, and computers nowadays can run modern games at up to hundreds of frames per second. The simulation rate is often lower than the draw rate though. Minecraft is as low as

The "Enhancer for YouTube" browser extension has a setting to force assign the resolution to whatever you choose. I was having issues that even if my player indicated it was playing 1440p, it clearly was at most 640p or something

Yes, but it requires support to WebHelices which is on the experimentation phases. There is a shim using WebWings 5.0 but it only works on Chrome Canary, because foxes have legs instead.
