Except for the garbage-collection, single threaded code is extremely common across all "simulation" games. Too many interdependencies makes it difficult to parallelize.
Dwarf Fortress was looking into offload fluid computation to other cores, not sure if it was done.
I personally have not had a lot of performance issues with the base RimWorld game after a patch that was released targeting performance a year or two ago. Much more often it’s a poorly optimized mod that causes issues.
I don’t often play very far into the insane late endgame though (200+ colonists/raiders on the map at once etc). I could easily see it being a problem at that point.
Yeah why don't we just place an order at the first available orbital facto...oh no such thing exists. Well we can order some aluminum from an asteroid mining smelt...oh that doesn't exist. Well I'm sure the useful payload entirely built in orbit is...oh.
There's no infrastructure in space to do anything. Even if you built a rocket in orbit that doesn't do you any good if the payload in sitting on a pad on the ground.
In my opinion the ground is the best place to make them. It's much harder to do independent inspections of the work when you have to fly the expert who wants to look at the assembly into space and train them how to do EVAs.
The two things I think would be interesting to demonstrate in space is aluminum extrusion production (standardized framing) and fuel production. To do either of those sustainably in space would be an impressive accomplishment.
Free of financial cost perhaps, but not free of effort. Let's Encrypt is a pain to set up and maintain on a self-hosted website, if you don't maintain websites professionally and don't have experience.
People lament the centralization of the web, but this https-or-the-highway mantra is contributing to exactly that! Because there is a way to truly get https "for free", and it's to throw up your site on Github Pages or Squarespace. Or just use Facebook.
I don't understand why they would be, in general. The content isn't interesting for snoops. I supposed it could screw you if you had an elaborate Murder She Wrote plan to kill someone that relied on a math trick, and visiting this particular page was enough for the jury to convict.
It's good for everybody to use ssl, but people writing essays about their hobbies aren't responsible for shady public wifi endpoints.
At least in FF there's a setting to force you to click through a full page warning to enable visiting a site without ssl. I use it, so I can be aware of my risks.
They’re not “responsible” in the sense that I don’t think it’s not some kind of moral failing. I’m just pointing out that it’s not true that having TLS on this site wouldn’t be useful to anyone. It would, and the webmaster enabling, despite not required, would be appreciated.
Yup. I was at Atlanta airport and clicked on a bunch of links from the HN front page. All the pages that were sent over unencrypted HTTP got invasive ads injected into them. All the pages over HTTPS were fine.
