@MechMK1 You can also shrink it quite a bit with the right compile flags.

And using SLOB instead of SLUB, disabling config options that no one uses (dnotify, uselib, etc).

Q: Does my using of a LED kit for monitors help people intercept electromagnetic radiation from my monitor?

Neighbors are commenting so loudly, that I can hear them reading text that I was printing on keyboard with connection to internet and a text on my screen with an Ethernet cable plugged off. No Wi-Fi on this motherboard, no router also. Monitor is the main suspect (2007 with LED kit), video card (...

On someone getting offended at an article on ED:

Even the internet experts couldn't do it!!111one

Encyclopedia Dramatica. Do not look it up if you are not part of that subculture.

I just found the site is back up (after being down for a while) so I'm enjoying myself way too much right now.

@MechMK1 That's a good point. But in this case it is clear to me that he was from a position of ego.

I know that because when I was his age, I was also "well accomplished" or whatever the fuck you want to call it and guess what? I was an ego maniac too. And I behaved EXACTLY like he did.

MechMK1

@J-- Yeah. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Hopefully he realises that ego doesn't really get you anywhere in this industry, or anywhere at all really.

Well, maybe it does get you somewhere in terms of high earning roles, I guess. Management ones, where you're basically asked to look down on everyone.

But other than that... It is a total waste of energy to be an ego maniac.

After a very long 48 days, I am on the final chapter of this course.

That includes reading every page twice, watching all the videos, completing nearly every single exercise and 90% of the extra mile exercises.

I hate having 15 FPS in Project Wingman.

They have this shitty bug that just tanks performance.

It's off-brand Ace Combat, but better

Let me tell you about the bug:

In Conquest mode, which is like "Arcade Mode", there are infinitely spawning enemies.

And the game uses a ticket system, to ensure that you always have enough enemies, but not too many.

And the "alert" system basically just means how many tickets the director has.

Now, in some missions, you have to destroy "high priority targets", so just specific airplanes.

The problem is, as difficulty increases, so do the targets.

In the last few missions, the number of targets is greater than the amount of tickets available.

So what did the devs do? They made it so that mission targets don't require spawn tickets.

So instead of having ~100 enemy planes, you have ~100 enemy planes + ~130 targets.

Which tanks performance! From 144 FPS to 15
