Final Fantasy is like Black Mirror, there are common themes, plot points, and names that persist throughout the series. However no two numbered titles share the same worldbuilding, lore, and characters.

It's like what happened with Quake I-IV but on steroids. Very different games held together by a promise of what emotions you'd expect.

Out of curiosity what do you think of Nginx, which was Russian based and used to have its main offices in Russia (that also got raided by Russian police) or Arch Linux, where one of the main packagers (up to 30% of official packages) is managed by Felix Yan (which I believe is a Chinese citizen)? Where is the line drawn? Is it only for profit companies, security software, or something specific?

according to a detailed writeup of the event by Doug Madory, a BGP expert at security and networking firm Kentik.

What's a ”BGP expert”? Most of this stuff is covered in an undergraduate networking course. Wouldn't just "networking expert" do?

Also is anyone reminded of Final Fantasy: Tactics by the small isometric maps?

Some people play games to turn their brains off. Other people play them to solve a different type of problem than they do at work. I personally love optimizing, automating, and min-maxing numbers while doing the least amount of work possible. It's relatively low-complexity (compared to the bs I put up with daily), low-stakes, and much easier to show someone else.

Also shout-out to CDDA and FFT for having some of the worst learning curves out there along with DF. Paradox games get an honorable mention for their wiki.

Because this wouldn't be targeted towards a single device/connection. This is for a household of 5+ streaming 4k, running servers, having cloud (yada yada) IoT devices running simultaneously.

It's the hobbyist tier. It's like asking someone "why do you ever need more than one cast iron pan" when they're into cast iron pan collecting.

I grew up in a household where I was taught when cooking salty sweet dishes, you should add just enough sugar to the dish so that it tastes different but you can't tell why. Otherwise you've added too much sugar.

You can definitely taste the sweet in Pineapple pizza...

I mean they're not wrong...

This is why my next book will be titled "how to cook dinner without a compiler, GCC 4 to GCC 11 compatible!"

Never "just" steam your veggies. Do a quick stirfry in oil with garlic then use the residual steam to finish it up!

Or just any dpdk program, where any gdb caused slowdown causes the code to "behave as expected"

That's just a Thinkpad. If they keep making them smaller eventually it will fit in your pocket.

I would say you'll be fine. Most games don't compile with avx-2 anyways since it'll crash if you run it on something that doesn't have them (which is a lot of CPUs) and AVX-512 is straight up only available on Xeons, Epyc and zen 4. Nobody is going to use that for consumer software.

The only game I can think of using AVX is a Skyrim mod for realistic physics, where the author provided binaries for AVX-2/AVX-512. So it won't affect most compiled applications much since you need to compile with it first (which almost nobody does).
