I'm not very familiar with Redis, so I might be missing something here. But if the choice, after a Redis update, is between: a) my software breaking and, hopefully, an error message saying "redis failure parsing 'XYZ'&qu

The time you're spending reviewing warnings, determining warnings don't make sense, and individually suppressing warnings sounds like it could be considerable. Worse is that it's never ending - each new gcc/clang (or cha

From the .plan it appears that the qw client didn't predict entities aside from the player. I don't understand the fundamental difference between netquake and quakeworld so I can't explain why, but quakeworld always felt some

I played Quake at the time on dial-up with an approx 250ms - 350ms ping. I believe the majority of players preferred quakeworld, but I always felt it was a regression on vanilla Quake net play. Vanilla quake was slow, but the world felt &qu

Couldn't they add 1.5TB of swap to their 1.5TB of memory system and run a ramdisk on that? I'm curious what performance would look like, but given 2-3k IOPS for the on-disk solution, and 20k IOPS for the in-memory I would naively

I think the egg-drop challenge example is terrible. If the egg + protection impacts the ground at a fixed velocity, the most relevant factor is the /distance/ the egg moves before coming to a stop. So if it requires "three fe
