Because you won’t determine the type of NAT during hole punching. This requires the client sending two UDP packets to two different IP addresses, then comparing their source addresses on the server.
Normally yes, you can just assume that two clients you are trying to connect both have port restricted cone NAT, and run the hole punching algorithm, and if the connection fails after ten seconds, show message to the users ‘Error 418: your router is a teapot’.
The one use case is running STUN/TURN server for NAT hole punching, that requires two separate servers, or one server with two IP addresses. You will only need that to run masterserver for games that support hole punching, or to run VoIP telephony / teleconference server.
Another use case is reliability, when your server is connected to several network providers, it will keep working if one of them has an outage, and will naturally have a different IP address for each network link. But your VPS does not have several network links, otherwise they would advertize that in bold red letters.
How long until we get self-insert AI porn?
It flies, so I don’t get the joke. I’m an embedded developer BTW.
It depends on how rich you are. CEOs have their own, reduced edition of the law.
Robotized armies are already here, and they look nothing like steel skeleton humanoid Terminators, they are more like cheapest four propeller drones with an anti-tank mine strapped with zip ties, naked wires with no cover, because it’s single use.
We can control AI just fine. We cannot control corporations, who use sloppy AI for important decisions. A few court cases for unfair hiring practices will solve the problem rather quickly, it won’t be AI who will get fined, it will be CEO.
Yeah, you could probably achieve 15% cooling efficiency with regular old nitrogen or methane instead of fluorocarbons.
std::vector<bool> fits eight booleans into one byte.
Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.
mcedit, because I’m not nerdy enough for vim.
