Concepts can't be stolen. The gameplay is so significantly different, it's hard to say what we're arguing what's stolen that PUBG didn't "steal" themselves.

Like the new Gmail design, I do NOT like what appears to be a similar design applied to Chrome. Everything old is new again I guess. Material design is out; bubbly everything is in. Changing these for no described nor apparent reason is not

We're also talking huge VRAM jumps, and RAM manufactoring has also hiked prices.

Any chance we can expect the patches to be applied to the nginx that ships with OpenResty? ;)

Why do many US banks and CUs have bad password hygiene? Length limits (and really short ones)? Character restrictions? Makes you really think how bad the tech behind it all is protecting your security.

They get piled up against buildings. They exacerbate the problem that many US roads have no place for cyclists, and alternatively, cyclists incorrectly will use sidewalks. All said, in the current state, more cycling is creating a bigger pr

All of my production terminals have dark-red background and my screen hardstatus also red. This is my default in rc files, and I have to explicitly link rc files to get my dev-only black background with lime hardstatus.

"Will" not. :) TCP will saturate network links to; can you be more specific? How much are you seeing 100 match boxes egress? A server is almost certainly going to see CPU or memory throughput bounds before egress.

Your assuming the usage of such a library is sending, let's say, a network crushing amount of data. But, this is really intended for games that try to fit under 512Kb/s (or even less). We're not trying to jam down 20MB/s

Foresight is 20/20. I don't think Zuckerberg (and FB devs) aren't smart or can imagine why giving such data is a bad idea. It's more likely that they thought not many would find out, care, or that when found out that it&

Wait... you're worried your OS will be so overkill you would create your own, but you're perfectly fine using Electron?

Said every router ever? The feature shouldn't exist; it's not securable, short of a second device.

Who says they won't? The issue is embargoed, but that's, as usual, not keeping everyone from speculating. That's fine too, but also realize the layman (even people in this thread) is getting pummeled with ideas like "my

Devils advocate. Workload dependence... average user... not significant: A lot of users probably see "30%" and will assume the worst. There really isn't a lot of evidence of how much an average consumer will be affected. Pr

Not defending Intel here, but devils advocate... You will find many clients asking how to disable, for example, the Linux patch. Linux is releasing with a flag to disable it, so there is some merit. Why would you want that? There are a lot

Lambda is backed by EC2 and absolutely has EC2's limits. Just like scaling an ELB takes minutes to serve "massive surges" -- AWS recommends you pre-warm ELBs or contact them to do so -- the same is true of Lambda.

You will absolutely need to notify AWS to scale to "world changing" levels or take on "massive surges" without spewing errors. There literal limits that require filling out a web form and waiting to get your ticket admin

We have different meanings for "massive surges" and "massive amount of computing power" and "very quickly". I personally have stake in AWS/EC2 performance -- see profile -- and have actual experience in th

So, just replace my battery every few months? That's OK? NO. I'm losing respect for Apples mobile hardware line. So what if their SoC is amazing, if it is downclocked every month. Review benchmarks are dishonest if not taking this

I wouldn't pin the success of any app on Electron. Most would gain a lot from pivoting away.

And then he wrote... The IEEE has been making a few small steps to ease this problem, but they’re hyper-timid incrementalist bullshit. There’s an IEEE program called GET that allows researchers to access certain standards (including 802.11

What does "lower-level" and "buggy" mean? I really doubt an HTTP server is going to have any troubles. We are running game servers on WSL, where you can imagine we are using fairly to-the-metal socket work over UDP and n

Can you provide a specific issue? If I put a competitor (eg. yelp, angie[slist], etc) into my search query, I get only results for those competitors. Leave the qualifying term out, and I get a SERP of all non-Google review sites. But again,
