I think the problem with this idea is that it has to work extremely reliably, or it basically doesn't work at all. And that's inherently very difficult to achieve in a game that's based on simulating a complex system. I don&#

By default, VLC tries to seek exactly to the timestamp you tell it to, which may requiring reading and decompressing a significant number of I-frames. Various other players, including mpv and MPC-HC, will instead just snap to the nearest ke

There are definitely still anime fansub groups active, although not nearly as many as there used to be. Mostly they seem to work on shows that haven't been licensed by official simulcast sources, or that are licensed but aren't be

If you ask me, any page whose behavior depends on the currently logged-in user's identity, including the list of groups they're a member of, is not "static" in any meaningful sense.

As per the description, all updates must be replicated to a quorum of instances. If Charlie is on a plane without the ability to contact a quorum, he can't add records in the first place. This is a fundamentally necessary tradeoff to p

In brief: at any point in time, one of the replicas is a "leader" which controls the order in which operations are committed. The changes occur in a defined sequence, and other replicas may lag behind the leader, but cannot be inc

This is not true even in an extremely idealized model. For example, if you pick two random points in a unit cube, they are much more likely to be a moderate distance apart (on average, about 0.66 units) than they are to be very close togeth
