Interesting.. QUIC isn’t very quick over fast internet.
QUIC is expected to be a game-changer in improving web application performance. In this paper, we conduct a systematic examination of QUIC’s performance over high-speed networks. We find that over fast Internet, the UDP+QUIC+HTTP/3 stack suffers a data rate reduction of up to 45.2% compared to the TCP+TLS+HTTP/2 counterpart. Moreover, the performance gap between QUIC and HTTP/2 grows as the underlying bandwidth increases. We observe this issue on lightweight data transfer clients and major web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera), on different hosts (desktop, mobile), and over diverse networks (wired broadband, cellular). It affects not only file transfers, but also various applications such as video streaming (up to 9.8% video bitrate reduction) and web browsing. Through rigorous packet trace analysis and kernel- and user-space profiling, we identify the root cause to be high receiver-side processing overhead, in particular, excessive data packets and QUIC’s user-space ACKs. We make concrete recommendations for mitigating the observed performance issues.

A Simple Archive Format for Self-Contained Executables
The build/run instructions for the example games for
high_impact were subtly wrong:
make sokol
./build/game_sokol
make sokol compiles the Sokol version, converts all assets and puts the results
(executable and converted assets) into the build/ directory. So far so good.
Where it falls apart is in the next line: ./build/game_sokol. The executable

游戏《上古卷轴5》称得上为「神作」吗？
在2011年11月11日这个整整齐齐的日子里，旗下单人RPG《上古卷轴III：晨风》、《上古卷轴IV：湮灭》和《辐射3》连续三作蝉联年度游戏桂冠的Bethesda Game Studios推出了一款至今仍在各个“史上最伟大电子游戏”列表中不断抛头露面的《上古卷轴V：天际》。
《天际》发售11年后，Bethesda Game Studios的单人RPG已经连续五作都获得年度游戏称号，但《天际》在无数玩家心中却是连BGS自己都未能超越的那个典范之作。《天际》并非开放世界RPG鼻祖，也并非类型缔造者或各方面的登峰造极者，但BGS却给这款游戏的各个方面赋予了绝妙的平衡，正是这样的恰到好处让《天际》如同iPhone定义智能手机一般，定义了我们目前所见的开放世界类别。《天际》立于开放世界品类之标杆，[《塞尔达传说：旷野之息》总监藤林秀麿认为](//link.zhihu.com/?target=https%3A//www.gcores.com/link%3Fta … ⌘ Read more

如何评价游戏《历历在目（Before Your Eyes）》？
本来看着库存里Skybound目录下的6款游戏一个都没玩，就在大作间隔期试试5款《行尸走肉》系列之外的独立游戏，结果一试就喜欢上了。这是我在PC上试过的第一个需要摄像头玩的游戏，会全程监测你眨眼。我在手机和游戏机上见过用摄像头监测玩家动作并捕捉的技术，但集中于眼睛的还是头一次见。除了需要鼠标移动视角外，全程不需要按键盘，只需眨眼和偶尔闭眼即可。游戏不需要移动，画面周围有大片的黑色遮挡来使场景集中，动画并不精致，但音乐和配音非常棒。
