Because other CPUs don't have this problem. If the game engine is problematic then many other CPUs would show something. The game engine is just the trigger, much like a seizure can be triggered on some people by flashing lights but not others.

Incognito ma dude

To be honest, there is no good silver bullet solution. I've come across that problem too once and in the end I decided to just simplify my program. But my journey takes me to cap'n proto which IMHO is very ideal but it rarely has updates and the ecosystem around it is lacking. If you need to support many languages, then protobuf is the best. If you didn't mind it being open source, there is ZeroC ICE (mumble use this intensively). I pray that one day there is something like cap'n proto but also works for an embedded system.

Edit: Forgot to remind you that this is meta for programming.dev. You should check out other communities to ask this question. Mod may remove this.

I think his point is that funding doesn't equate to it being shit

... combine multiple physical disks into one.

Isn't that RAID 0 and generally a bad idea? Since one disk failure can bring down the whole system.

Yeah, I've also read the article. I am just being cautious on how it can be used for other things that cause privacy concern. And so far, I've come up blank too.

My bad, I worded that badly. What I meant is that the website now has access to those features via the browser (js or some other mechanism). Now suddenly fingerprinting a device can be made easier.

Be careful since it is a double edged sword. Device bound session means the browser has the capabilities to differentiate devices, and thus can be used for more accurate tracking information. Of course I'm not saying it is not useful, having created a fair share of websites myself, I know the pain of authentication on the web and how it can be challenging to secure from tons of possible attack vectors. And in my experience, the weakest link is always the user.

Lol that Jia Tan there cracked me up

Assembly sure, since it will differ from ISA to ISA. But C is still a "high" level language in the sense that you can write once run "anywhere". Also, more work to do something is expected since C is such a "bare" language to simplify. But again, it doesn't count as it not being as accessible to get new developers started, but it is and will be more cumbersome to work with (in the context of redis like software).

So yeah, maybe it depends on how you would define accessible is. I think if it is defined as just "how easy it is to get started and understand how it works, and how to work with it", C and C++ is quite accessible with a good teacher/mentor. The teacher/mentor is important in C and C++ because unlike C# which has Microsoft as its main authoritative source and the big influencer in the language, C and C++ doesn't have those so the resource on learning it can vary wildly.

That really depends on the teacher/mentor. C and C++ can be just as accessible. For someone who is learning by themselves however, I agree.

What do you mean by C# is "accessable" vs C++? Do you mean it as readability? Or the software availability (compiler, and the tooling behind the language)?
