Is it common to default to a signed integer for tracking a timer? I realize being unsigned it would still overflow but at least you'd get twice the time, no?

This post went from mid 20s on the front page to 37 on 2nd page in a matter of less than 5 minutes. What would cause that? Total points didn't go down. It isn't flagged.

Didn't realize there was a MIPS build of Windows NT. Which led me to wikipedia to find there were a lot of other architectures supported in the past.

by xhrpost 1y ago
This made me wonder if there is such a thing as homomorphic compression. A cursory search says yes but seems like limited information.

Slight tangent but I've wondered about something similar to this, has there been much initiative to make games that directly boot on modern PC hardware? So not load a full OS but just go directly to the game. Similar to older generatio
