  • It's pretty simple actually. Mine runs the program as it would normally and whenever the program reaches out to say "create this file" or "load this font" for example Wine will grab that call and translate it into a Linux OS command. As long as the program gets all their Windows API calls and windows specific files requests satisfied it will happily continue.

    This is why ARM support is such a hassle for wine since the processor is with a different architecture so the compiled binary needs to be translated as well with all the nuances.

  • If you're willing to spend some money on cheating there's no way to prevent people from just aimbotting based on video output and feeding it as USB mouse commands. These anti-cheat systems are just shit solutions compared to server-side culling, superhuman reflex detection and report/review systems with premium servers and bans. Just give people in-game currency for correctly agreeing with the consensus and some people will go nuts on it for less than $1 per hour of in-game items.

    Anti-cheat systems basically fuck with the kernel so if a game has it there's a case for not playing it.

  • Also, phalanx v short swords just lose as soon as the formation breaks a tiny bit, there's uneven terrain or open flanks. Up close long pikes don't do anything and the gladius goes stabby stabby.

  • "English is older than French" is a weird way to put it. "English spelling was standardised a century before French spelling" might be a better. After all, both languages existed the whole time but are named differently by periods in history for convenience. There's no way to say "Middle English ended in 1658" for example.

  • I think the reverse is "Homosexuality can almost always or always be justified". Then as a further "If yes, does homosexuality require justification?" can be added.

    The opposite to yours would be "Homosexuality doesn't require justification" which would likely have different results.

  • That's a nice theory but the dodecahedron was found in across a wide region of the western side of the empire and primarily in military graves. There's also the rarer icosahedron which didn't have large holes on the sides which really jumbles up theories. I'll give some interesting ideas for it's use I've heard.

    Cryptography, when combined with a disc-like key it could be used like "move clockwise after every word" like this guy speculate https://youtu.be/vBDgmE3d0aw. Notable issue with this is that it's waaaay more complex to manufacture than required. You could make the first key with a hexagonal hole and the second key that slots into it. No dodecahedron required.

    Craftsman proof of expertise, since it's very hard to manufacture it can be used as a proof you can make it. But then why was it found a lot in military graves?

    Artillery calibration, by using the holes you could put down rocks at 200m, 300m and 400m marks and see which rocks fits exactly inside inside the view when the two holes line up in size. Hard to prove and there's no need to have such an extensive number of knobs on it to fulfill that purpose. Could save a lot of expensive metal by having it made of wood for example.

    Knitting fingers, it's not very convenient and suuuper expensive for its purpose.

    Weaved metal, more plausible than knitting but if this was the case we would see scratches or signs of use along the holes.

    Religious artifact or recreation, this is the archaeological "we don't have anything better" explanation. Can be used as a fancy dice or for asking the gods or something. It only sounds plausible because we don't have anything better.

    This is why it's still a mystery even though so many people have guessed, the knobs on every corner, difficulty to manufacture, cost, varying hole sizes and that it's found in military graves is very hard to put together. It's looking like we're going to need to find a non-existing manual for it's use.

  • Disregarding the case where you are a Marmite supremacist I'll say why.

    Vegemite and marmite can be thought of as a bitter spice to put on top of butter toast. Just like with salt you can put nothing, way too much and the just right amount. The just right amount is way more subjective than tomatoes or cheese on breat since it can vary by a factor of 20-50x.

    I have converted some people to eating marmite and I do it by putting 2-3mm of a knifes tip on the toast and spreading it as thin as possible.

  • This is my impression also. Most people are just "Meh" about it since it's not that noticeable. A bit more ads, bit more bandwidth use, bit more ram use and a bit slower CPU when performance of websites sucks ass is not that noticeable.
