I thought that it was videos of the replays on the site. Was very impressed that it was a replay playing that you can scroll around in and select units.

There was this FPS demo recently https://playcanv.as/p/qxGSuzYq/

People have also converted some small sections of Unreal 5 demos into splats https://superspl.at/scene/692c4f91

Or perhaps use a real world scan - it was suggested this one would make an ideal setting for zombies https://superspl.at/scene/6359774f

It really annoys me when fiction is based on real events, takes a lot of liberty with the source material that it enters into the public consciousness.

The classic case is the "The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus" where it was claimed he was aiming to prove the Earth was not flat. My personal peeve is movies like "The Imitation Game".

I think it is mostly just a problem with Victoria - and they are are hardly conservative. Hospitals and ambulance service is a state issue and other states fair much better.

It was from C++con 2016 - Facebook take on small strings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPR8h4-qZdk&t=1343s I believe it is about a page that was conditionally returned to the kernel.

Related to unspecified vs undefined. I recall some C code was trying to be tricky and read from just allocated memory. Something like:

int* ptr = malloc(size); if(ptr[offset] == 0) { }

The code was assuming that the value in an allocated buffer did not change.

However, it was pointed out in review that it could change with these steps:

1) The malloc allocates from a new memory page. This page is often not mapped to a physical page until written to.

2) The reads just return the default (often 0 value) as the page is not mapped.

3) Another allocation is made that is written to the same page. This maps the page to physical memory which then changes the value of the original allocation.

I would settle for something like - "any network functionality in consumer devices must be open sourced and user modifiable"

It is probably too high a bar for most manufacturers, so they will not likely include such functionality.
