Always glad to see authors on here. Thanks for your insight! Since they had to rewrite the build file for their program I also assume that something is missing. Didn’t see any ment…

Selling skins is what they used to do originally, which was their edge over their competition that didn’t want to do F2P. Nowadays they engage in gacha, with skins effectively cost…

Note that this is not a “valid” C program according to the standard. The standard allows for freestanding and hosted environments. Freestanding allows for the entry point to be cal…

It’s a common thing. For example the chess event in World of Warcraft Burning Crusade was done by placing invisible bunnies in a grid for the chess figures to target and move towar…

I don’t know zig syntax, but wouldn’t it be possible to put this common pattern into a macro and simplify it to mostly a lambda on V?

If I was going to pretend I’m sick I’d just say I have diarrhea. There’s no way for the doctor to check it. So yea this is theater.

In Germany there’s private insurance which can only be chosen by people of higher salary and good health because the rate depends on their condition when they sign up. So this data…
