The memory dump demo seemed to work for my computer. Does that mean I am missing some spectre mitigation stuff? I thought this was already fixed a few years ago? How do I stop this demo from working? (linux, intel i7, chrome 89)

I think no one wants to go through the work of creating a full featured client. What most people want is just adhoc customizability. For this reason, the web is great if you know how to code. Most sites are pretty easy to reverse-engineer s

This is just the unfortunate consequence of devs not bothering to optimize something if it runs fast enough on their own machine. Stuff that is just on the edge of human perception (100ms or so?) might become a few times slower on an older

The author wants leftovers to be evenly distributed. For example for n=15 and g=4 he wants [5,5,5]. I think his very first 3 liner is the most readable version. If we're microoptimizing, his comprehension version also has a lot of extr

They even decided to keep the game logic at 25 frames per second but allow rendering at unlimited frames. This is important to keep all the old game mechanics the same (e.g., for builds aimed at hitting a specific number of frames per attac

That's disturbingly intriguing indeed. In theory, what is stopping any stock from being a cryptocurrency (minus the crypto part)? Can anything tradeable with a fixed supply become a currency? What other magic requirement is missing?
