Without the full info hash, they can probably keep lawyers away. Unlike BTDigg. You are one step away from the hash anyway, there are other online and offline databases.

a) This is not hard evidence, even though it is mostly correct. b) ISPs do not need to rely on some random server on the other side of the world watching a tiny amount of requests,…

It depends on applications and users (home, mobile, corporate). Some anecdotal evidence suggests that 2/3rds of user pairs can't connect without a relay server with all the tricks …

This is a repost of a repost (of another repost in certain cases). JPEG resizing and quality strongly suggests it for some images. You can visit the (linked but not annotated) blog…

Things that need to be taught need to be taught. Reading, writing, and counting can also be kept for later. Misanthropic heralds could even say that many strata of modern society d…

International politics are fake. There is a gentleman's agreement that secret services can kill “traitors” and “enemies” anywhere as long as no one objects (or the objecting countr…

Some people use My Little Pony characters as avatars, some use history books characters and propaganda poster characters. It means nothing in itself, people rarely stick to what th…

You look like you are completely unaware of the wave of big and small early nineties games that used flat shaded 3D renders for art, sprites, and full motion video segments. Unlike…

Step 0 is missing: having a great taste. One look at the video example is enough to figure out that the author keeps things in balance and in style. Explanations of why pixel grid …

There is a dozen of existing Quake ports ready to run the moment you feed them the game files, and you recommend a version re-implemented on top of Xash3D, which is a GoldSrc-compa…

Next step is implementing 2D sprite engine. Then 3d sprite engine. Then OpenGL commands. Then getting Crysis to run on the IBM PC.

Laws do nothing without people who believe in them (just like they believe any other idol), or profit from them, or make an excuse that they are getting paid to enforce them, there…

People always retroactively justify anything they see as convenient and uncontroversial, stick to “everyone's opinion” (which does not exist, and is the product of their own projec…

Disapproval is only the first step. After that you can start looking the other way in certain cases. Not always in exchange for the money, just for public reverence and praise, i. …

You seem to suppose that those businesses are really independent, only focus on goals they advertise, and exist in a vacuum. I can't even imagine how many “services” they offer to …

Given that general public uses social network services for electronic messaging today, and those don't even pretend they want to be interoperable, we've got parasites of a totally …

An article from Microsoft Systems Journal in 1993 ends with a bunch of different electronic mail addresses: https://jacobfilipp.com/MSJ/1993-vol8/qawindows.pdf By 1995, the “Intern…

Before Windows Internals book we all know (called Inside Windows NT in its first editions), there was Windows Internals and other books and articles by Matt Pietrek. It starts from…

Someone else was targeting it long before the Chinese.

It is a typical solution from the 90s, first steps of interactivity after hand-written HTML pages served by Apache. POST request is handled by some Perl script that rewrites the HT…

Fidget spinners also sell.

The moral of the story seems to be missing. This kind of visualisation is an arbitrary artistic choice, not just a function of inputs. A can of spray paint is a tool that needs to …
