I got top 8 at my college's monthly tourney! I've been competing for two years, and it is amazing to see all the practice begin to pay off. I'm Golemwire, down there.

Just a heads-up, my college has some restrictions on what I can say here :) it probably wouldn't've been an issue anyway, I don't really want to dig at an organization while I'm a member of it, but it is worth noting, as a believer in free speech....

Found it, part of my ASCII.s stdlib. Came up with a change, which compiles to about 24 bytes, compared to about 55 bytes, but uses a loop. These print out the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places of a decimal number; I think I'll keep the former code, since it is branchless, I/O aside, and since I might want to remove the thousandths place anyway (since Q16+8 numbers aren't quite that precise).

I'm finding this sequence multiple times; part of it or exactly this keeps on appearing in my compiler's output. I think it's performing a modulo by the Q16+8 value 10.0, then converting the number to ASCII then printing it. Part of the Q16+8 decimal print function, I think.
(Also - 0x30 is ASCII '0', not 'H')

On the bright side, at least is *dependably* bad.

I just don't get it. How can they be so incompetent? This isn't a one-off issue, either.

Doing some curious reading on 100GB optical discs, 4K/UHD Blu-Ray discs.

Unsurprisingly, many of them were protected by Intel's , presumably to prevent piracy.
However, you would need an Intel CPU, and some newer Intel CPUs won't even work with these Blu-Rays anymore. And, as usual, people found out how to copy it anyway with some modded drive firmware and the right software.

If you have -"protected" media, understand that at some point it may be taken from you.

So, NintendoLife.com wants to share tracking data with hundreds (literally; maybe thousands) of partners? Wow... I can't even opt out of a lot of this!
Clear that something's wrong with the way they're doing things.

Makes me think of

I was doing things with my graphics drivers, something happened and Linux was really like 'You should fix the problem as soon as feasible'

Got a new laptop — a ! This lap-top desktop has been one of my dream machines for a while, and I didn't think I'd ever get my hands on one (yet alone see one!).

I got it from , and I've had it for almost a month now. I really like it.s
