My game might have 10 files file1 to file10, and every file is 10 MB. I make a patch which:

  1. Adds new content => I need to create a new file11 for the content, 10 MB for that

  2. Fixes a bug in some old content => I upload new version of file3, another 10MB

  3. Adds cross-functionality with new file11, so I need to upload the main game in file1, another 10MB.

So in total, I will upload 3 files, total of 30MB. However, since two of these files replace old ones, only one is new, the game size goes from 100 MB to 110MB, not 130 MB, since I can delete the old versions of file1 and file3.

it depends what that path does, it can add 100 MB of new content, or it can replace a 100 MB file to fix bugs or improve things, or anywhere in between, it could replace a 50 MB file and add 50 MB of new content

The patch would replace a lot of old files if its a performance or bug fix patch. If it's a feature addition or new content then it would increase the size of the install.

When you feel sick, its usually because of something you ate, so to get the bad stuff out, the body forces you to puke, however, there are times where you feel sick, without having eaten the bad stuff, but the body is reacting as if you did.
It's like a miss firing reflex? It is caused by the GI feeling irritated.

Once your body recognizes that it has ingested a virus, toxin or poison it will expel it by inducing vomiting. Unfortunately, it takes a while for it to tell, so it keeps vomiting even when the stomach is empty (the toxin is in the blood by then). Alcohol is a great example of a toxin that is absorbed in great quantities before inducing vomiting. But you can short cut this by "thinking" something might contain toxins by thinking its really gross and throwing it up sooner, before a lot is absorbed.

Evolution is a lot like engineering: just-good-enough-to-work is the ideal solution. Why worry about creating systems to actually deal with all the types of poisons it could be when you can just have a universal eject function and then eat some food to replenish whatever nutrients you also ejected along with the poison...if it was even poison. Oh well, at least you didn't die to poison, so that's a plus.

If the sickness was being caused by something poisonous you ate, vomiting is a quick way to cure yourself. It could even save your life if the poison would have killed you!

Since the alternative is possibly dying to something you could have easily just thrown up, evolution has "decided" it's a better overall strategy to throw up when sick just in case.

Fair enough. I went to rehab for drug use and have passed two years but it was terribly difficult at times and still can be. The people trying to deal with alcohol issues at the treatment centre I was at went through hell and I always feel for them and their struggle.

I just thought a good pat on the back might help as you worked through your recovery.

Glad you’re doing well either way.

Why not enjoy the experience of a great tasting beer without the hangover the next day? Why not savour the refreshing and crisp malt barley flavour as much as you want without worrying about having to get a taxi home? Michelob. Awesome beer. Alcohol free. (Warning, not suitable for vegetarians or people with haemochromatosis).

Not specific to wrapped coins though. Any transaction that has part of it on the blockchain and part off the blockchain is vulnerable, by design.

Prep (send) the ON part, transact (receive) the OFF part, Revert (take back) the ON part.

You now have both the money associated to both the ON and OFF part.

That's essentially doing a transaction with a credit card and doing a charge back once you recieved the goods. Nothing new here...
