I thought King was a subsidiary, rather than part of the parent company's name. Has that changed?

What's that K for?

Americans tend to be pushy and, well, stupid in foreign lands.

Unpleasant people stand out, so they're the ones we notice. They make an impression, so they're the ones we remember. This is true of tourists from all over the world, from America to China.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that most are respectful, but end up either unnoticed or forgotten.

so far, fluid frames is only available on DX11 and DX12 titles

Given how similar Vulkan is to Direct3D 12, it seems likely to be supported before long.

About This Game

DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: ROGUE CORE is a spinoff of Deep Rock Galactic with a roguelite twist. The roguelite twist means you start from basics in each mission and cooperatively build up powers and abilities for the team, sometimes leading to insanely overpowered builds and other times to spectacular flops.

STORY

Expenite, a new mineral of incredible value and utility, has been discovered within planet Hoxxes IV! Space mining company Deep Rock Galactic immediately sets up covert mining operations deeper than ever, to harvest this precious material. But without warning, all the dig sites go dark, and all contact is abruptly lost.

In this action-packed 1-4 player co-op roguelite, you'll join a team of elite dwarven Reclaimers called to planet Hoxxes IV to deal with the situation. Bring the lost dig sites back online, unravel the mystery of The Greyout, and keep it from happening again using all the guts, guns, and grit at your disposal.

The Core has gone Rogue. DRG needs your help!

GAMEPLAY

Each Rogue Core mission begins with selecting your loadout. Pick a Phase Suit equipped with an Active Ability of your choice, as well as one of a range of unique Reclaimer Weapons. Once loaded up, you board your Drop Pod and land at the outer boundary of a lost dig site, facing the Greyout Barrier surrounding it. Luckily, R&D has equipped you with a device capable of carving a hole through the Barrier -- but once you go in, there is no way back except mission success. Proceed through the Barrier on foot and fight your way down multiple procedurally-generated stages to the deepest and most dangerous level of the dig site.

During each stage, you will salvage caches of DRG equipment and weapons to expand your arsenal for that mission. The dig sites are also full of the wonder-mineral Expenite. Deposit any Expenite you can find into your trusty Processor Drone to generate a wide range of powerful temporary upgrades. Thus, as you progress ever deeper, your power will grow, but so will the challenge. Every advantage will be necessary to make it through all the stages, reach the Core, and reclaim the dig site.

Between missions, you return to your ship - the RV-09 “Ramrod”, parked in low orbit above Hoxxes IV. By completing mission tasks and reclaiming dig sites, you will earn the means to research and permanently unlock new Reclaimer Weapons, Phase Suits, and Suit Mods. Expand your gear options and experiment with various setups to tackle the deepest and most dangerous dig sites.

They wanted a picture of my ID to unlock my account.

This is inappropriately invasive, and doesn't even accomplish the stated goal, since an ID can't prove account ownership when the account wasn't created with an ID in the first place.

This practice has become alarmingly common for online services. We really do need strong privacy laws.

One reason we don't get much practice in this area is that the vast majority of common tasks can be accomplished with data structures and algorithms that are already implemented in libraries.

Have you considered learning a new programming language, and then helping to develop/expand its standard library, or to optimize what's there already?

Every step Intel makes toward parity with established gaming GPUs makes me hopeful that we'll soon have competition driving down prices.

What does David Lynch have to do with Mean Girls?

Of course, then you would be expecting people to give their personal info to Google.

These projects came up in a quick search for something self-hosted:

https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms

https://github.com/formio/formio.js

https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey

There are probably more.

Also: hostile to independent repair, and terrible for privacy.

It might make more sense to expose a standard library API for unicode data provided by (and updated with) the operating system. Something like the time zone database.

And now for something completely different [...]

I missed that section at first glance. I'm glad someone called my attention to it.
