They already remastered Halo:CE in the Master Chief Collection. I know it was criticized as a bad remaster, but it’s weird to just do it again before…
The CE remaster was done by an outside company, and they based it on the gearbox PC port. So they didn't realise that all the glitches and bugs in the gearbox version shouldn't have been there. To 343's credit, when they "took ownership" of it in the MCC, they did fix a lot of those issues. Turns out having the original devs and artists still hanging around helps.
It is literally just a shiny coat of paint over the old engine though, so things like collisions are using the original map geometry while rendering uses the upgraded ones. There's a few places (on the level "Halo" iirc) where you can get stuck on invisible things that you can only see by turning off the new graphics.
Yeah, junctions would be most similar to a mount point. Though you can also mount one directory under another, so it's more like a directory hardlink in that case.
And symlinks were actually introduced in Vista, but for some reason you needed to be an Admin to create one. With Win10 they removed that restriction, but for some reason kept it behind a "developer mode" anyway, it's strange.
It was Apple. Or rather, regulators and partnering companies leaning on Apple to manage the content on their app store better, including the content that you could find via those apps.
Could say something about how the app stores are a monopoly power, and the chilling effect these wide ranging and heavy handed content policies have, and why the open web (and web apps) are a better option. But we also handed the web over to Google anyway, so it's not that much better.
It's important to remember that when BPA was shown to be harmful and was replaced in products, the replacements weren't picked because they were shown to be safer, they were picked because there were no studies about them at all.
Þere must be a half dozen cheap ways to generate true random numbers.
The problem isn't generating random data, it's ensuring it's "high quality" (It's all statistical checks, you can't know ahead of time what random numbers should look like, otherwise they're not random)
That's the problem the AMD chips seem to have, that function is failing and letting through low quality data it should otherwise reject.
Because it's not about the files anymore, it's the free space on the disk you care about (Or rather, the filesystem metadata describing it, the free-space bitmap in the case of exFAT)
If the files are highly fragmented and spread out, then the empty space around the files is also broken up and spread around, which makes it harder for a filesystem to efficiently store new stuff as it now has to break up and pack new file data into the gaps.
But it’s clear they aren’t actually about that, otherwise 2020 would have rolled along smoothly and they would have had the same “gods plan” mindset during the 2020 social protests.
Obviously that was Joe Biden interfering in gods plan, so they were just doing the right thing in trying to undo it.
I had heard about the extruded vault suits before, turns out it's a Van Buren thing, it's specifically mentioned that the extruders in Vault 70 break as part of the experiments.
TLS can do key rotation too, it's just not needed in practice. The QUIC RFCs talk about it a bit, e.g. when using ChaCha20 the key usage limit is actually larger than the defined limit for transmitted data, making it only potentially relevant for AES.
And this is mine.
