I've been working on a video game and actually followed the article to implement astar. If you have an inaccessible node, astar will indeed scan everything. But to get around this I only had to add a limit to the number of frontier ite

I know, but you still have to make it executable, hence it's not as convenient. And on top of this, an unlink is less error prone than a rm -f.

Well the symlink command was also easier to share with others having the same issue, whereas a one liner that creates an executable script which returns 0 is less ideal.

I question the same thing, and would like to know how accurate it is. Is there any peer reviewed literature that supports this?

Somehow I can see some companies using this to spy on their employees and "measure" how productive they are, and how their timesheets reports match.

Control for whom? Before gdpr the general stance in the industry was we never delete user data, just mark a field saying its deleted in the db and that's that. It's been a total shift. And it's not just that, I've seen f

For what is worth, I have disabled it in firefox 90 in about:config.

I think you would still be surprised at how many things emacs can still do better like undo in region or even simple macros that find use even during simple text edits. Though ultimately feature per feature, I don't think emacs looks a

It tried when the mounting failed, saying it would drop me to a shell and then said "it fail to open up a shell".

I've been using linux on my desktop for almost 20 years. This was the first time I couldn't get a shell to fix my problem.

by viseztrance 5y ago
I ignored systemd because I thought it didn't affect me, as I only run linux (fedora) on my desktop, and hardly had any issues at that. But recently, when I changed my fstab file to mount a drive at boot, I made a typo. My system would

I know that, and it's of course a good point. I was trying to convey the fact that citizens from eu countries are not at the level of other third countries yet. For example you can still travel using just a national id card until Octob

Bare in mind that eu citizens still don't need a visa to travel to the uk.

Strange. I have resist fingerprinting as well (running on fedora), and it correctly detected all 5 apps I had installed from the list.

I don't know how it can be fully prevented other than disabling javascript, but in my opinion firefox with "privacy.resistFingerprinting" is a good start, though you'll still stand out because few people are using it. I&

It's quite tough to know for certain if you're being fingerprinted. I worked on finding ways around fingerprinting at a previous job. The problem is that sites go out of their way to hide fingerprinting like performing it in an ar

LG also has a special webos variant for signage displays (I developed for it at my last job).

I've seen this pattern more often than not, but as the person joining the company later and having to fix other people's mess who either left or moved into management.

I just realized that. That makes absolutely no sense.

Though I didn't like the devs renaming things to puppet (of all things), from master/slave, I think this change is fine. A couple of years ago I visited that page when I encrypted the saves of a hobby game I worked on. I don'

On stackoverflow you can spend your reputation on bounties for certain questions (niche, difficult) that would otherwise get ignored. Personally I spent about 1000 reputation points on those, and some of the answers were surprisingly good.

A departure from the series, but it doesn't change the fact tha Ultima VIII was a gem and easily one of the best rpgs I ever played. There was something absolutely amazing about how little hand holding it provided, especially playing b
