The only usage is here: https://github.com/json-c/json-c/blob/df27756491abf9ecce648c... Which appears to be part of the hashtable implementation for the json objects.

Spaceplan is a pretty fun and slightly comedic play through one as well http://spaceplan.click/

Part of this is that game companies are notorious for re-implementing standard libraries for "performance". I suspect both shitty implementations of sscanf and the not-a-hashmap stem from this.

I mean net neutrality prevents the ISP one from being an issue, which means making the hosting provider should be the end of that. The payment infrastructure doesn't really have a good solution. Visa/MasterCard are famously quite

My understanding is that each legislator is like an independent client and is able to run basically whatever IT they want as far as the unclassified (yet still sensitive of course) stuff goes. Given that, I'm betting the shared IT grou

I mean point 3 is a big part of this value wise. By getting certified bounty-paid vulnerabilities in a big name product like google, they can then go on and get lucrative security contracts ("we hired a guy that has found bugs in googl

But this mitigation would still fail. They might test for different content, but they probably don't include a periodic test like this in their timing tests, and if they did, it would just be an outlier.

The Witness also does this for me. At least as far as like the scientific method and problem solving are concerned.

They do actually do this. County sherrif mass emails the county employees if they have any teenage children who wanna ride in a police car for a week once a year as the pitch.

I mean this point exactly (though I come at from the other side). If one wishes a big business to respect their commons then bite the bullet and use the "restrictive" (they are in fact freedom guaranteeing) commons protecting lice

This is a big one for me. But I think there is a missing level here. Local as in area, not just local to the machine. Municipal and Neighborhood level networks would solve a lot of problems inherent in the broader internet, as well as makin

Absolutely, which is why their apolitical stance is absurd.

I think a lot of games already do this. Minigames that are glorified button presses for example. The fortnite pinata lootbox as a notable example. But lockpicking minigames in skyrim could be seen as the same. Even quicktime events to an ex

I would argue that reinforces my point rather than weaken it. My point being that the market is an understandable thing becomes more reasonable if it turns out it's not even an intractable problem that we are discussing. But I also thi

I'm not sure you are really disagreeing. Which is to say I don't see where the not "isn't true" part come from. Yes classes are closer to the physical reality of modern computer (and that is one reason I prefer C++)

I mean, in theory third party payment processors still take a cut. I don't think it's a dollar on a 7 dollar payment. But it's also not marginal. The credit card companies themselves charge 3.00%+0.10 at the reasonable maximu
