I've been working on a video game and actually followed the article to implement astar. If you have an inaccessible node, astar will indeed scan everything. But to get around this …

I question the same thing, and would like to know how accurate it is. Is there any peer reviewed literature that supports this?

Control for whom? Before gdpr the general stance in the industry was we never delete user data, just mark a field saying its deleted in the db and that's that. It's been a total sh…

I think you would still be surprised at how many things emacs can still do better like undo in region or even simple macros that find use even during simple text edits. Though ulti…

I've been using linux on my desktop for almost 20 years. This was the first time I couldn't get a shell to fix my problem.

I ignored systemd because I thought it didn't affect me, as I only run linux (fedora) on my desktop, and hardly had any issues at that. But recently, when I changed my fstab file t…

I know that, and it's of course a good point. I was trying to convey the fact that citizens from eu countries are not at the level of other third countries yet. For example you can…
