On the other hand they alienated their core user base with the extensions mess which is still lacking to this day.

I would imagine the game is using dx9 and for linux/macos it would run through a dx9 -> opengl translation layer.

You also need a large enough user base/level of traffic where releasing to a small percentage of your users would even uncover a problem. I've had similar problems with A/B testing where a low amount of traffic means I would

The problem is then what do you do with low voter turnout? The article says that this election has in previous years resulted in <1% of eligible voters. That is clearly untenable.

Why is it unfortunate? The article didn't seem to say whether this change was good or bad, although I would assume a decrease in inflammation would be good?

Its completely possible that nobody has reported those subreddits to the admins.

You can't squat and redirect subreddits to external sites. I have personally been granted mod of a subreddit that had been redirecting to another website. Its against the rules and the subreddit will be banned at which point anyone can

What are the obvious reasons? Many game devs would absolutely love to have UDP available on the web in order to do proper networking.

Is Vulkan the response to the fact that single cores aren't getting faster and games need to move towards multithreading? Is there an analogous solution for other systems like physics, collisions or pathfinding?

You would definitly need http/2 to use this, I've tried using imports in vanillajs with supported browsers its sloooooooow. I do wonder whether you could leverage server push for this and whether that would help.

NYC here, never have heard it with an 'a'. Its always just 'in shambles'.

Unfortunately userchrome.css breaks frequently with firefox updates and is a pain to maintain since it is outside of the extension ecosystem. There used to be a great addon called ClassicThemeRestorer that got killed during firefox's t

For whatever reason, it makes me really happy that esoteric languages like Befunge, vigil or Half-Broken Car in Heavy Traffic exist.

I'm still using Windows 7 with the classic theme because its just such a good design.

Vimeo was so well positioned to beat out youtube back in the day. Stage6 had just shut down and vimeo was offering HD while youtube was stuck with low res. But then they made the mistake of banning video game content for not being artsy eno

I don't think Twitch Prime has the ad-free benefit anymore, they moved that into Twitch Turbo. The ads are also definitely stitched into the HLS playlist as segments, so even if you were to block them you would see a black screen for t

This is actually interesting right now because Microsoft, Google and Facebook all seem to be trying to get into streaming. I would definitely like to see more competition in this space so that Twitch doesn't get complacent.

I don't think uBlock can or does block it, here's the issue that tracks the research into it: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/5184 as well as an attempt to block them here: https:&#x

Twitch does do this with its SureStream ads and its much worse for a livestream than a video since with a video you can resume where you left off after the ad finished whereas for a livestream you just lose what was happening during the ad.

That's good to know, might have to try it again. Especially now that shared buffers and atomics are available in web workers.

Is requestAnimationFrame still capped at 60fps? My monitor runs at 165hz and the last time I tried requestAnimationFrame it would only do 30 or 60.

You must be talking about sc2, in remastered theres only one global ladder and when you do hit koreans, if the turn rate drops due to latency, many will just leave the game.

I couldn't imagine how painful playing starcraft would be with an extra 100ms of latency.

WC3 used JASS and the starcraft bug is known as EUD, theres a post about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16305769

You just have to look at how they don't support addons in their new mobile browser to see their true intentions.

Wasn't blink stalker micro pretty central to its playstyle as protoss, the race it was best at? Why would you say that is minor and marginal?

It was also selecting buildings that for a normal player would either be out of the isometric field of view, covered by ui elements, or only barely on screen like clicking 1 pixel specific in the corner.

> placing within the top 0.15% of the region's 90,000 players > 61 wins out of 90 games against high-ranking players This doesn't seem to be quite as commanding as it was in Go. Do we know what MMR it reached or if it consis

I'm not really interested in any of those features, but does it work with arrays and objects without having to use Vue.set? Because that was the biggest issue I had the last time I tried it.

Haven't people been complaining that youtube will randomly stop playing in the background on safari? I'm not so sure users are happy about that as you say.
