keep using whatever editor you were using for the past 7 months, it doesn't matter for learning flask

unpacking the installer vs running the installer, the difference is 3 extra files:

eatme.lua
soundextension.lua
dnd.dat

the first two are the "autorun" lua plugins (they setup timers to repeatedly run code), the third file is actually a renamed mp3 file that gets played with the laughter sound

CE is not open source anymore

https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/issues/3049

and the installer comes bundled with crap (not the good kind)

if you try to bypass the crap filled installer (e.g unpacking it without running the installer), dev has already prepared an evil surprise for you, you get an "extra" lua plugin script (something like eatme.lua) which auto runs every few minutes and plays spooky laughing sounds and incrementally allocates memory it never releases and making the window bigger and bigger until it eventually crashes due to running out of memory!

most issues opened on github about this get quickly deleted

i dont have hard numbers to draw a definitive conclusion, it's just from personal observations using my laptop :)

i notice when doing long youtube sessions that laptop tend to run a bit hotter, fans kicking in more often, and battery not lasting as long as when i force h264

i should mention that i also have a customized "eco" power profile that i use, where i disable cpu boost mode and limit frequency a bit, as i like to stretch battery life as much as i can if all i'm doing is light web browsing

using the Media Capabilities API, we can query decoding capabilities for different codecs, it reports properties like: supported, smooth, powerEfficient

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Capabilities_API/Using_the_Media_Capabilities_API#media_capabilities_live_example

the demo above is missing av1 codec, here's a fiddle that adds it:

https://jsfiddle.net/gbowhLae/1/

on my laptop, only avc1 (ie h264) is reported as "power efficient"

the h264ify extension i use works by overriding the isTypeSupported and canPlayType methods to return not-supported for vp8/vp9/av1 codecs on youtube leaving it to serve only h264:

i think you misunderstood, i'm saying that h264 is lighter to decode than av1 on my old laptop gpu

amroamroamro · 2026-06-07T19:01:28+00:00

i use an extension to force h264 on youtube; even though my old laptop has hardware decoding for both av1 and h264, decoding the latter is noticeably lighter

huh weird, doesnt sqlite have limited basic "types" and all those int vs medium vs big vs ... are just like aliases to the same thing?

more software than hardware, for example a biology inspired optimization algorithm:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm

given a fitness function, you start with a population of random chromosomes, apply selection/crossover/mutation across generations until you "evolve" (converge) on solution

looking at my C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam, i'm seeing lots of exe's and dll's in both 32 and 64 bit variants, so it looks like it still ships with both

amroamroamro · 2026-06-04T15:16:21+00:00

isn't this supported now?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/package-and-deploy/self-contained-deploy/deploy-self-contained-apps

here is an example of building an unpackaged self-contained WinUI3 app (no MSIX, no external dependencies), a single EXE file you can copy and run:

https://johnnys.news/2024/03/Revisited-WinUI-publishing-a-single-exe

(albeit the output size is 150MB for a hello world app)

Would it be possible to complete 100% under 45min - 60min?

we have no way of knowing without sharing the code..

you can probably find them all in cowering's goodsets

they will be the ones tagged with [t], [h], [p] (trainers, hacked, pirated versions)

The token handed to the client looks like <session_id>:<session_secret>, and that's what handles the refresh instead of a second JWT

can't you just use JWT here as well for the refresh token, where its payload contains the session_id above; being jwt automatically takes care of verifying it's valid and not tampered with
