That's exactly what's being done, but you do not want everything server side over a network delay that is almost always more than the time between frames. Only server side physics would mean a lot of visual jank. It's now usually a model where the client and server make the calculation and the server "rolls back" the client of they do not match.

Data is being limited though, like not sending opponent location data unless the client can see them

So far as AAA games go this is pretty rare in practice. I guess there could be some problems to solve, e.g. you'd need to be conservative because a player could appear around a corner between server ticks, or the fact that RTS games usually operate by running a shared simulation[1].

Csgo and Valorant has done it for years, but they have fairly simple maps. Scum also did it and had the pop in problem.


Depth reconstruction with IR cameras in laptops today is incredibly hard. While the camera itself is exposed in Linux as a USB camera, the sync with the IR emitters is completely lost. Because of this we cannot extract a "left" and "right" lit image reliably as Windows hello does


Main dev here: If you're on the 3.0 version you'll be able to install howdy-gtk, which will show a popup at the top of your screen when authenticating.

You can also enable "rubberstamps" which require an action from you like nodding yes to confirm authentication and making it harder to fool. As noted in the readme though, Howdy is never going to be 100% secure

What's your view on the ÖBB mini cabins? It seems to me you can't possibly be much more dense than that within the European gauge


Definitely can be optimized along several dimensions. They got 40 cabins, we got 60 per rail car.


The fact that _you_ have not heard of it does not mean that it does not exist. The Austrian ÖBB has created a massive network over the last few years, including some innovative new rolling stock with sleeping cap capsules. Many classic routes within larger countries still exist, like the multiple routes in the UK, France and Sweden. There are new private startups like European Sleeper that operate an Antwerp - Prague sleeper


The fact that the Dutch translation of the app is awful does not inspire confidence. Really basic stuff like translating "No" to "Geen" (none) in a yes/no question


I think you underestimate the sheer volume of wordpress sites that pay for custom development


Or how many agencies are using laravel for all their customers


I'd rate basic necessities like food 4000x more important than data centers too


I don't know. I suspect most people rate data centers higher than almond milk...


Of course! But what about all of the agriculture that gets exported? In CA, it is over half of almonds and ~15% of alfalfa (cattle feed).


Get rid of the corn subsidies and production will shift to more sustainable crops that don't result in high fructose corn syrup being overused and increasing rates of diabetes and obesity.


If we could just get rid of these darn living creatures we would use much less water.


> English is the only language that separates out our cardinal numbers from 13-19 because they end in "teen"

Most Germanic languages do. A lot of languages even have the same concept of a "teen", like "tiener" in Dutch. This whole comment is as confidently incorrect as an LLM
