I believe it was even more than one game that had this problem. If the data would be stored in a file, then any kid would copy and edit it. So, it was put in shady places in the registry and other windows configs.

I played RCT2 many years ago. But what was most notable was that it had a DST bug that lost all your progress when daylight savings time changed. But the game was great. Just I had to play some levels twice.

Yes. There is a paper that shows that if a data type has non-commutative operations, then avoiding expensive synchronization is impossible https://hagit.net.technion.ac.il/files/2015/09/popl168gf-att...

We use notion and when I read this review, the irony is that its weakest point is the search. Just like with most of these tools. In the case of notion, it is not the results, but the fact that search is so slow. Otherwise, the it is is sup

Well, I disagree with pretty much everything in the claims. First, most real unoptimised code faces many issues before memory bandwidth. During my PhD, the optimisation guys doing spiral.net sat nextdoor and they produced beautiful plots of

This reminds me of the problems we did 15-20 ago at IOI or ACM ICPC. We did these in pure C then, sometimes C++. I would have kept the states in a different way. Instead of making a vector/array of actors, I would make a pair of bitvec

Let me check. According to similarweb, dnevnik.bg is number 39 in the country and capital is not in top 50. There are more than 10 other news websites with higher engagement. At the same time the top 3 TV networks still support the previous

I didn't endorse anybody in my post, but your post has a strong political bias and wrong facts. Ikonomedia is a small media player with different biases and I am not sure what they support.

For those unfamiliar with the country, this is likely not a post against Facebook. In fact Facebook was instrumental in this party's campaign. The country ranks at the bottom in the EU in media freedom. In the last 10 years, all mainst

I was wondering why AMD didn't finally get access to the top notch process at TSMC. They can have some of the best margins in their products, just because they ended being the best now and they certainly have the volume already. They d

I feel there is something universal about the phase in which the company enters and it is interesting to learn what moves companies in different phases. Growing market, good press around, apologists for your brand, regulation and anti-monop

There are already precompiled headers. They are a big speedup as far as I know, but semantically problematic. Maybe if you use them, you will not see a speedup.

As somebody who uses c++ daily and spends a lot of time compiling, I am really excited about modules. Unfortunately, the latest even unreleased g++ v11 and clang v8 only say they support them partially. Does anybody have any experience tryi

They lure you into using services you wouldn't use otherwise. I don't see how having FaceTime or TV is any different than when Google was bundling Google+ in Android.

Yes. The term dock came out of my mind, thanks. And yes, I emptied the dock. But obviously taking stuff off the dock is the minor inconvenience, but the idea that all this was preinstalled. Package managers and app stores should be where al

A new Mac comes with something like 30 apps in the bar. I clicked and disabled every single one of them except Finder and used Safari to download another browser. If it was any other manufacturer, this mess would be quickly denounced by rev

I think that tools that collect dust are just not great. The article gives some internal Facebook tool as an example, but it is really a research paper. I asked some friends at Facebook and from my (small) sample I couldn't confirm fro

I understand the issue a bit differently. If a user writes some content that stays as a comment somewhere and it is defamatory, then the user is responsible. So far, so good. This is what 230 used to address. But the real issue at play is t

I use Firefox on Android all the time. When I occasionally open Chrome, I see the UI there changes quite often. Now it has tab groups. Maybe a month ago it changed the url bar.

What concerns me when reading such articles is that if lying is so prevalent and there is still no action against the bad actors, then the GDPR tracking checkboxes on many sites are likely also just sent to /dev/null? At least in

I highly doubt elastic intended to offer it for free to the cloud providers from the start. They wanted to offer it for free to end users. This is why I expect new products will now start with these more restrictive licenses.

The author says in the end that the problem is not Amazon. Then links to a post where he suggests that companies maintaining the open source should have "invested the resources to build stronger communities around them. They would have

It does not need to sell in any quantities. The mere presence of it hurts the trademark.

This request is not baseless at all. If you have in the supermarket a noname cheese that is branded "Grana Padano style", it would hurt the trademark.

I own two XPS developer edition laptops. The second one is up for an upgrade and the CPU is the one thing that is its weakest spot (Kaby Lake in my case), often on its limit when using Zoom for example and runs hot. But I think that with su

This used to be the case when every unicode character could fit in 16 bits. Now, most methods that take char may fail: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Characte...

I don't think I am mixing it up. The char type is not a unicode character just like the byte is not. Yet, these are the characters in a string type. Python went to fix this, jvm and clr didn't.

by veselin 6y ago
On a similar note, both Java and C# made an early and mostly incorrect decision to support utf-16 in the native string and char types. This choice also made some programmers to believe that every unicode character fits in one char, causing
