    How about one of the C unorthodoxies that use typedef everywhere? (Namespaces seem suitable, too.)

    Running a home server seems relatively popular for all kinds of things. Search term "homelab" brings up a culture of people who seem largely IT-adjacent, prefer retired DC equipmen…

    There's another that combines Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask into one game, joined by a portal connecting the Happy Mask Shop and Clock Town. It's possible to scatter every bush…

    I think ECS here is "entity-component system", a design pattern that seems related to data-oriented design. https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1024001/-Overwatch-Gameplay-Ar... >

    I recently transitioned on the desktop from Debian then-testing to Alpine edge. I switched for a newer kernel (4.9 to 6.1 for recent fixes to busted microcode -- little annoyances …

    I'm guessing it's the ROM for the system. Poke various hardware bits, map the cartridge and jump to a certain address within it. If memory serves, it also checksums the Gameboy log…

    In a very recent update, Valve's added what looks like some kind of dashboard to consume game statistics (for a small monthly fee...).

    I don't. I think the gist of it was a YouTuber instructing probably-younger, less-experienced people to issue spammy PRs (e.g. small update to READMEs).

    Yeah, IIUC, HAM dedicates its lower-fidelity bands to Morse.

    Almost. Yes, you may still be charged. Yes, they may use the evidence of your refusal. As far as equivalence, no: the test itself is just one piece of evidence. Because refusal sho…
