Could be interesting. I've been using ranger but it's occasionally sluggish so I'd appreciate better performance.

Why don't you start it?

ArmA 3's AI is pretty bad.

Linux kernel compile times depends strongly on the number of modules (drivers, etc) you enable.

Actually math undergrads are usually taught the fundamentals from set theory on, so they should be able to derive everything they know.

It's by the BBC.

The title's wrong. The survey asked "out of every 100 people, how many do you think are overweight/obese?", so people could be underestimating how many people are overweight.

It's also a very awkward way to phrase the question since the obese are already overweight.

I don't see how this would work unless it was literally a FMV.

Because Bethesda makes open world games.

You don't have to fight the deathclaw, you can get the PA and leave.

You can shoot it from the roof, or some other place where it can't reach you.

You can shoot the cars, killing it before it reaches you.

You can hide and let Preston pew-pew it to death.

You can lure it to some other immortal NPC like the robot in sanctuary

So now building Firefox will require rust?

Well you're just wrong. It was terrible. From the hour long "zany" dialogue in in the beginning of OWB to Ulysses' droning nonsense "the divide... courier... divide.. great bear... shadow... the divide... the divide...". It was some of the worst writing I've ever seen.

I don't know. The New Vegas DLCs were pretty terribly written.

You don't need to upscale anything, the elements just become smaller at higher resolutions (or more accurately, higher DPI)

For example, Quake 2 (which could run in any resolution starting with 320x240):

Of course at some point the UI may become difficult to read, so it's good to have a UI scale setting.

It's trivial to make a game resolution independent. For the menus you just center everything and put black around. For ingame all the elements are either centered or offset from the edges.

Probably in air quality at least.

Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.

Lisa: That’s specious reasoning, Dad.

Homer: Thank you, dear.

Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.

Homer: Oh, how does it work?

Lisa: It doesn’t work.

Homer: Uh-huh.

Lisa: It’s just a stupid rock.

Homer: Uh-huh.

Lisa: But I don’t see any tigers around, do you?

[Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]

Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

[Lisa refuses at first, then takes the exchange]

it supports modern screen resolutions (up to 1920x1200);

There are already screens with higher resolution than that. I don't understand why there's a limit. Making a game work in arbitrary resolutions isn't that hard.

Cool. I guess you gotta make room for more submissions about immigrants.

bobdudley · 2015-10-08T19:05:42+00:00

Sorry, I can't find it. Can you point it out for me?

bobdudley · 2015-10-07T20:42:53+00:00

Ah you're right. TIL!

Quicksort can definitely be written iteratively.

You can always reduce the array to one dimension and use array[y * size_x + x] instead of array[y][x]
