You know what, I was trying to find an example for Matt3o12_ where it was #included, but I can't even find the file at the tip of any of the branches. Can a better git archaeologist explain what happened to it? Did it get merged into a

If it's so short, why not give it a shot and put it up for code review so others can catch the nasty and insecure bits? Great learning experience :)

The bullet points for your resume are going to come from your guild interactions. Did you lead a 40 man raid of people (poorly! ;) ) clicking their timed buttons? Did you cull drama over the DKP allotment? Did you organize a recruiting driv

Oof logistics. I have about a dozen nonfunctional satellites in orbit because I forgot to extend antennas before dropping them into orbit while using RemoteTech.

And then you build planes... When I first bought KSP, I had no idea you could even get into orbit. So many different levels of accomplishments to strive for, especially now with career mode.

I use google quite often for searching $LANGUAGE, $PLATFORM, $LIBRARY docs... it's so much faster than using the provided search.

I'm not arguing that. Completely disregarding the void document, you will still want to document _and notify_ the company that your IP is in the exempt category. I'm assuming the law is similar to Kansas Statute 44-130[0] (d) Even

You will still want to work with the company so there is proof that you both agree you are exempt.

This is common with games nowadays. Almost no one throttles the game loop outside of mobile I guess. I've had the same issue with the Analog/Hate _visual novel_ series. My laptop doesn't need to turn into a lapheater for some

I dove deep and burnt out, but I was playing with something similar and talking with the VASSAL lead about this topic. See the VASSAL 4 roadmap[0] (although I can't remember if rules enforcement is ACTUALLY on the roadmap or if it got

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tabletop Simulator only about physical simulation? VASSAL seems much closer to what parent is looking for (but there's still very little on the rules verification front there).

That's roughly the purpose of HSTS, but you need to have visited the site at least once first (or in the case of popular sites, HSTS status of a site is shipped with the browser.)

Right, I resist calling it a bathroom in places where it won't actually have a bath. Guess I should start asking at restaurants where the water closet is?

The 60s washing machine likely uses 4x the water and energy of the 2010 washing machine though. While it may not outweigh the total cost to create a new washing machine every 5-7 years, it's a direct improvement for the consumer. Top g

I'd recommend talking with the VASSAL people if you haven't already. I was looking into something similar (defining pieces and rules in a DSL that would spit out an engine suitable for AI) a few months ago when I was all motivatio

I think it's a good analogy to have. You don't have the same results from bus:human::raindrop:mosquito, but the size comparison is a useful measure. I didn't realize a raindrop was 50x the mass of a mosquito. I thought they w

* Features the Intel Core i7, ARM Cortex-A8 and NVIDIA Fermi GPU as real-world examples throughout the book Sounds promising. The 4th edition just had the GPU content stuffed into an appendix.

Monitor manufacturers don't make a device that straps onto your head. Apparently wide frames are an issue[1]. When I was playing airsoft, I had ESS goggles. ESS also sold prescription lenses[1] designed to slot into the air holes in th
