Bonus points for the kafkaesque responses you get as the end-user when you try to actually pass that information upstream where it could be fixed...

So? Many would prefer a DoS-type event over spending $WHATEVER_THEIR_HARD_CAP_IS. This is kinda the definition of a hard cap, so you would place it sufficiently high that DoSing your system is indeed preferable. Also, doing this on a per-se

It seems hard to believe that a one-hour delay on such a counter is impossible to achieve, and one hour would reduce the risk from "catastrophic" to "serious problem" in most cases. Also, if implementing a cap is a desir

I think there is: It is the line between "not spending extra money to make sure it works" and "spending extra money to make sure it won't work". There is a related problem with warranty: an inferior third-party repl

This may sound absurd, but it was a mental breakthrough for me to realize that all these "what-ifs" (multicore 6502 computers or whatever) are really simple to simulate in software only, with a bespoke simulator, WAY above registe

By that logic, operating system developers struggle to understand that putting two files with the same name into the same folder(1) is very much possible in the physical world. (1) or referencing them from the same directory, which was the

Questioning standard nomenclature is useful too, as long as it provides insight and is not just bike-shedding. "optimization" (in the context of an optimizing compiler) is generally expected not to alter the semantics of a program

Yes, I do. It just means that you have to manually "recharge" your Steam wallet when it runs low. That's some effort, but it limits the possible damage if something goes wrong.

IMHO this supports the original point that payment via Steam would be an upgrade: Sending cash to a postal address isn't low-effort nor low-risk. Payment by cheque is something I have never done, nor would I know how to do it. I'd

Requires PayPal or credit card. The suggestion was to pay with your Steam Wallet or whatever payment method already used when you buy a Proton-based game on Steam.

That is only historic influence, though. Britain does not control the English language and cannot exert any further influence through it.

Actual application code was hardwired, entered manually with switches and lights, or with punch cards. Later, when ICs were sufficiently advanced, mask-programmed ROMs/PLAs.

My advice would be to consider the possibility, not necessarily to stay out of the physical world. For some, those physical details may be the fun part. Some hate verilog. Some want to put it on an FPGA, some don't. I, personally, move

Using whatever platform you prefer with a subset of people is fine and doable, but you're lying to yourself if you think that it is the "start" of anything.
