Like any other convention, it’s not really a big deal either way. Fortran gets along just fine with 1-indexing.

Really I worked a project once that just had post-its stuck to the wall. It worked as well as Jira does.

Yep. Linux is a total pain in the behind to write applications for, because of API and ABI instability. Just ask notable Linux desktop application developer Linus Torvalds.

(not a lawyer). If you bought the game copies that the AIs are playing, then it seems like you’re not making a copy of the game just to have the AI play it.

That kind of assumes that your AI is playing the game through a mechanism like AutoHotKey, generating keyboard or controller inputs that pass through the operating system to the game.

If your AI hooks into or modifies the game code to “play”, then it could run afoul of anti-reverse engineering clauses that are common in the click through license agreements. Those clauses may not be enforceable in your jurisdiction. Legal results on anti-reverse engineering clauses are kind of mixed in the United States.

Edit: for reference, there was a software called “Glider” that played World of Warcraft for you, so you don’t have to grind to level up. Blizzard absolutely hated the makers of Glider, but it stuck around for a long time, before it was ultimately sued into oblivion.

It used to be that 640K oughta be enough for anyone.

If wasn’t full garbage collection in the spec. It was some infrastructure support in the spec that would make it easier to write garbage collectors in C++.

That’s what I’ve got (on Gentoo).

There’s also D. You could just upgrade to D.

Was this 4k video from an arbitrary source, like a random YouTube video? Or from United’s website?

I haven’t flown outside is Southwest in a while, but they have a bunch of licensed video content that is hosted locally on the plane. And therefore cheap.

It’s illegal to use your cell phone’s cell modem on a plane, because of an FCC rule, not an FAA rule. The cells in the cell network are designed for traffic on the ground. At cruising altitude, your modem can see way too many cells at once.

Plane WiFi is a modern technological marvel and you’re lucky to be able to have it at all.

Not so long ago sat phones were the domain of the super rich, because they were paying several dollars per minute. Then it was down to 10 dollars for two hours of multiplexed satellite access. And now apparently it’s down to where advertising will work. That’s amazing.

The long jump sequence is crouch, then jump. Close enough together that it registers and turns into a single long jump move.

The crouch jump sequence is jump, then crouch. And it’s really just a regular crouch in mid air.

Now I want an fps game where you have to stop and load each round into magazines for a while.

When Fortran was created, each line was a separate punched card. The syntax made sense for that medium.

C was setup from the start for use on teletypes with fancy line editors like ed.

Process Explorer is still great.

For example, synaptic is a long running front end for apt that has the buttons for update and upgrade.

Get a bigger monitor, just like the software dev has.

Discarded corn cobs and pages from the Sears Roebuck catalog. At least in midwestern USA.

My understanding is that the second Distance campaign is mostly recycled Nitronic Rush levels.

When the gp’s book says that C is a third generation language: I would guess the first generation is Fortran and the second generation contains ALGOL and BCPL. C was heavily influenced by BCPL. (get it? C comes after B)
