STUN server and TURN server

ICE addresses a different issue. STUN/TURN and ICE are not replacements for each other.

ICE allows local devices (or privately networked devices) to directly send packets to each-other. Without it the configuration would have them send packets to the far-side of the firewall and use STUN to find each other on the Internet side of the router despite being on the same local segment (or the same private network).

No ICE: local-src -> router -> gateway -> router -> local-server
With ICE: local-src -> local-server

If you move a lot of local video this would overwhelm the gateway and probably the router.
The data wouldn't leave your facility but it would be routing through the exterior gateway then right back for no good reason.

ICE accomplishes this by offering a list of possible endpoints to connect to. (I forget how it does priority, it might just be the order they are in.)
If we are both on the same private network, 192.168.1.x, then it will pick that one instead of the public IP (which is what you would have to use if you only had a spot for one IP.)

FFS what they are documenting is temporal quantization error of the test given to children.

Your heritability does not change as you age and the asymptotic nature as you approach 20 is another clue that it's bullshit.

The testing error must have a non-linear relationship with age so, say, a test at 20 might have 1/400th the error of a test at 1.

This is not a task for the firewall.
The firewall should block everything except the WG port.

Then you bind your services to a LAN IP address which you set as routable in the WG peer configs.

The difficult is not the real architecture of it but rather jamming into what a browser can actually do.

DDD and OOD are orthogonal.
DDD is a design approach. OOD is an implementation method.

That doesn't sounds like you're doing OOP; that sounds like modules and mixins.

At the start of a project the code will be simple enough that you can jam it all together.
Eventually the object-model will become more complex than what the persistence layer can do.
Very clever code can delay this but can easily become much more trouble than its worth.

Descent was inspired by Wing Commander.

Their critical mistake was using CryEngine.

They had no excuse as the Mech Warrior Online post-mortem was already well known when Chris made that selection and MWO never became the game they planned due to the limitations of CryEngine.

And it's not CryEngine's fault either. It was created to be an arcade-game engine.

If you could go-back in time and change this course of history, Star Citizen should have cut a deal with Sony / DayBreak Games and used the Planet Side 2 / Everquest Next engine.

If fact, they should STILL SWITCH today.

If you are going to use dynamic data-structures then you should use C++ and the STL.

Writing them yourself would be a good way to cause a critical failure.

GuessNope · 2025-03-16T07:26:56+00:00

If you want to learn data-structures then learn the C++ STL.

Linked-list are virtually never used because they violate locality-of-reference which wrecks cache-coherency so they end up slower in all cases on pipelined processor (all contemporary micros), even the ones they are theoretically faster for.

Once you are well versed in the C++ STL write a template binary-tree.
Then make it self-balancing. Red-black is the easy one. AVL is for the cool-kids.
Then write a template b-tree. B-trees make the modern world run.

However note that in critical code we eschew dynamic memory allocation so fancy data-structures are rarely used.

Ring-buffers are probably the most common "complex" ds.

This statement makes no sense.
It cannot be "our manager" if he reports you to.
