brokencube··on WASM 3.0 Completed
Yep, my logic is faulty there. And even if we assume that it's 24bpp color, that's still a factor of 2 out.
brokencube··on WASM 3.0 Completed
I would guess 3 colour channels at 16bit (i.e. 2 bytes)

(2^32)÷(1920×1080×4×3×2) = 86

brokencube··on The tragedy of running an old Node project
My first step now when trying to resurrect old projects is to create a Docker container for it - that way I can install any old versions of anything (like node or PHP) I need without having to worry about it polluting anything else on the system.
brokencube··on Ace of Aces: Why you should do maths as a game designer
He did two pairs of books, White Warlord/Black Baron and Scarlet Sorcerer/Emerald Enchanter. All were printed 1986.

They were interesting because they contained both a single-player game (one in each book) and two-player game (which required both books).

brokencube··on Why I use Firefox
Probably subjective to your particular set up - I just got the opposite results on my mac:

202 ± 4.7 - Chrome

184 ± 5.0 - Firefox

171 ± 2.6 - Safari

brokencube··on Popular JavaScript package “Faker” replaced with message about Aaron Schwartz

brokencube··on Immudb 1.0 – open-source, immutable database with SQL and verified timetravel
It wouldn't be suitable for any application where you care about GDPR (i.e. you store personal information and have users in the EU)

The "right to be forgotten" is not compatible with immutable data. You can't simply need to mark data as deleted, you need to 'purge' it from your system (and possible backups, depending on how long you keep historic backups) - that isn't possible in a system with immutable data.

brokencube··on Scientists stunned by ‘city-killer’ asteroid that just missed Earth
Probably to prevent confusion with "1"

brokencube··on GDPR: Removing Monal from the EU
It has a maximum, not a minimum: The higher of 4% turnover OR €20m. That means even with 0 revenue, your fine can be up to €20m (It won't, because if you're not making money your small fry to them, but still, the fine can be greater than 0)

brokencube··on Stack Overflow Outage Postmortem
Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't this could have been fixed by making the match possessive:

^[\s\u200c]++|[\s\u200c]++$

That should stop any runaway backtracking?
