  • I don't understand how to follow this bullet point that I was replying to.

    do not use mod unless it’s test for the current module. No I don’t want to Star Wars scroll your 1000 line file. Split it.

    I already know what mod does in a basic sense, I wanted to know what the commenter meant by this.

  • I'm reasonably sure that AV1 has better or at least similar size ratios. They also explicitly mentioned wanting to use libre codecs, which h265 is not.

  • I don't know enough Rust to understand by what you mean by the last one. My understanding was that mod name was just declaring the module that this file depends on. Could you explain what I should do instead? Since your other statements I totally agree with, I should probably agree with the last one.

  • I've used 4k and 1440p monitors, and my TV is 4k as well. For desktop use, 4k isn't really a big difference because of the hardware needed to run it at a decent speed. However, once I got my hands on a 170hz 1440p monitor, I can't go back to anything less. It's extreme noticeable. The higher refresh rate, and the reasonable upgrade in pixel density makes text much clearer, especially in motion.

    For content viewing though, 4k on a TV it depends on how much of your field of view is occupied by the TV. Most of time though, a high quality panel is worth much more than higher pixel density. There is a massive difference between a basic 4k big box store TV, and 4k LG oled. The color, even outside of HDR content is just so much better, and the true actual black color is fantastic. Resolution is nice, but honestly, oled color is so good.

  • pannenkoek2012, the legendary half an A press guy! I watch a fair bit of retro game speedrunners so he's practically required viewing in that space.

  • The Venn diagram of game developers, who are also interested in/good at running a business has very little overlap. You need many different kinds of people to run a business, but a game developers is only one of those. In some rare cases it works out though.

  • After this article I've started binge watching this whole channel. Extreme in depth analysis and code walking of NES games in assembly is so interesting. Really makes you appreciate how small and simple the platform was. "Optimizing" a game really feels like a noticeable difference. I also learned how Gameshark codes work, they're just editing addresses and OP codes directly.

  • Here's a link to an instance of radicle for Yuzu. It's a p2p git server implementation. I haven't looked too much into it yet, but the tech seems interesting.

  • The post you originally replied to was misunderstanding how the username is located when authenticating with a server.

    Original post:

    The public key contains a user name/email address string, I’m aware, is the same information also encoded into the private key as well?

    Your reply would be creating more confusion, because you implied that no username is required.

    Your reply:

    That means the corresponding public key that was uploaded to the git server is enough to authenticate and no username is required.

    I am just clarifying if the original poster read your comment and was led to believe they wouldn't need a username. It is, in fact, required. As you expressed, it's usually "git" when connecting to a a git server, but it doesn't have to be.

  • That means the corresponding public key that was uploaded to the git server is enough to authenticate and no username is required.

    A username is required to authenticate with an SSH server. A public key alone is not enough.

  • Would you consider a boycott a form of protest? There are many ways to show disapproval, and marching in the streets is only one of them.

  • What is the difference between "religious fairness testing" and protesting? Is a protest not just an active resistance to the current legal status quo? How is a lawsuit not a protest?

  • My experience around any opinion where there is a default option, the vast majority will accept the default without thinking. Then when presented with an alternative by someone who has actively chosen to not chose the default, people become highly defensive as if they did do their due diligence, whether or not they actually did. Depending on where you live, the defaults change, but being that humans are tribal, differences in lifestyle naturally create friction. In parts of America, you drive an SUV, use an iPhone, and eat meat. Whether or not they actively or passively chose that lifestyle, when someone doesn't conform to what is expected there will be friction. How people react to that friction is up to them, but again, the default is to be critical of them and encourage conformity.

  • Yes there is precedent because in those cases you need a unique address historically. Evener commit within the project needs a unique hash for as long as the project exists. However, a unique address needs to be unique for the time it is being used.

    George Washington needs to have his commit to the Linux kernel maintained, but we don't need to keep his phone number locked away forever. He can't use that phone number anymore, so someone else can have it. IPv6 is more than enough address space, so long as the dead don't need to keep their 2 billion addresses for themselves.

  • IPv6 has a maximum number of addresses of 2^64, or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616. Enough addresses that all 9 billion people on earth could each own 2 billion unique address. A theoretical IPv32 is wholly unnecessary for a very very long time.

  • So computers can share IP's then right? By your example they are sharing their public IP. From the perspective of the server you are connecting to, all the machines on your LAN have the same IP. Same way multiple physical phones can be connected to a single landline, all those phones share the same number.

  • Consumers looking to get into machine learning?

  • Oh that's a cool resource, thanks for the share.

  • Glad to help, I found it out myself just the other day from the emulation wiki.

  • Pardon me for asking, but this looks very strange. 10$ a year, when most VPS hosts I see are 5$ish a month, and the website is default WordPress stuff with literally nothing in their knowledge base, and two blog posts. Also your link is to https://cloudserver.net Where as when I lookup the name, https://www.cloudserver.net/. A totally different looking website. What is this?
