StarCraft II's 5.0.17 patch is now on the public test realm, reversing most of the balance changes from this year's 5.0.16 overhaul and returning those

The Starcraft 2 update 5.0.17 is now on the PTR, and the patch notes undo almost all the balance changes from its big multiplayer overhaul.

ais523: > 3 is in general not true for slab allocators that use a free-list (which is a very common way to write an allocator that owns its own chunks), because they can add allocations obtained from other allocators into the free-list without causing any problems. are you sure? let (a, b) = (SlabAllocator::new(), SlabAllocator::new()); let ptr = a.alloc(foo); b.dealloc(ptr); drop(a); let kaboom = b.alloc(foo); // a pointer to freed memory from buffer of `a`

블리자드가 스타크래프트 2 PTR 서버 패치를 통해 지난 6월 적용했던 시작 일꾼 수 감소 패치를 롤백했다. 이번 패치로 시작 일꾼 수가 8기에서 12기로 다시 늘어났으며 주요 자원량도 기존 수치로 복구됐다. 개발진은 유저들의 피드백을 수집하고 검토하여 이전 밸런스 조정 사항 대...

New patch is released in PTR, which rolls back the balance changes made in 5.0.16 while retaining the updated map pool and bugfixes.

I noticed that CoercePointee only works for pointers, but I have been thinking that it could be beneficial if it allowed other types aside pointers. I believe that this example would be a good use case for it: // The attribute syntax is only a sketch. What matters is that the key carries the vtable. #[derive(CoercePointee)] struct CastKey<T: ?Sized> { key: Key, #[metadata] metadata: <T as Pointee>::Metadata, } trait Entity { fn on_hit(self: CastKey<Self>, world: &mut World, damage: u32); } struct Barrel { health: u32, position: Vec2, } impl Entity for Barrel { fn on_hit(self: CastKey<Self>, world: &mut World, damage: u32) { let barrel : &mut Barrel = &mut world[self]; barrel.health = barrel.health.saturating_sub(damage); if barrel.health == 0 { let center = barrel.position; world.remove(self); // Explosion! world.hit_all_near(center, 5.0, 50); } } } while let Some((target, damage)) = world.hits.pop() { target.on_hit(&mut world, damage); } Calling a trait method on an entity stored in an arena means borrowing it from the world as a `&mut dyn Entity`, because that reference holds the vtable. However, that borrow basically locks the whole world, so the method can't also take `&mut World`. If the key holds the vtable instead, you can call the method on the key and nothing is borrowed from the world. The method gets the key and `&mut World` as separate arguments, so the borrow checker has nothing to complain about. What do you think?

New Delhi, Sep 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Supreme Court on Tuesday questioned the huge disparity between the maximum retail price (MRP) of medicines and the price at which they are supplied to retailers, asking the Centre why a uniform margin cap could not be prescribed for pharmaceutical products. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta raised particular concern over cancer medicines carrying an MRP of Rs 27,000 while their price to retailers (PTR) was around Rs 3,000. The apex court also flagged the practice of corporate hospitals requiring patients to purchase medicines from their in-house pharmacies, observing that patients who procure medicines from outside may not be assured treatment.

AbstractProton-transfer reaction (PTR) has emerged as a powerful tool for top-down proteomics. It can mitigate spectral congestion and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of electrospray ionization (ESI)-generated intact proteins. We hypothesized that charge removal during PTR of Coulombically unfolded, denatured ESI ions induces rapid gas-phase isomerization and refolding, producing charge-state-dependent conformers with altered fragmentation behavior. Here, we test this hypothesis by systematically comparing fragmentation patterns of three model proteins, apomyoglobin, apocalmodulin, and histone H1, with and without PTR using high-resolution top-down mass spectrometry. Highly charged precursor ions were isolated, subjected to PTR, fragmented, and benchmarked against ions of the same charge state generated directly from ESI; ions generated under native-like conditions were also examined. Quantitative analysis of assigned fragment ions and log2 fold-change heatmaps reveal distinct fragmentation patterns, with some regions showing protection from fragmentation, while others yield newly observed or substantially enhanced fragment ions. Notably, characteristic fragmentation signatures around proline and aspartic acid residues further demonstrate structural differences. These results show that protein relaxation after PTR generates different gas-phase ion structures than are formed during ESI and explain, alongside mobile proton theory, why charge reduction produces different sets of fragment ions in top-down MS/MS, but can also yield fragmentation sites otherwise unavailable for higher-charged counterparts and the same charge states generated without PTR.

Heroes of the Storm recebe uma nova heroína nesta segunda-feira (28). A Xal’atath, conhecida do universo de Warcraft, chega oficialmente ao Nexus depois de passar pelo PTR desde 14 de setembro. A Blizzard confirmou a personagem durante a BlizzCon 2026 e marcou sua estreia para hoje. A novidade chama atenção não apenas pela personagem. A chegada de Xal’atath representa um movimento importante para um jogo que passou anos sem receber heróis inéditos com frequência. Além disso, a própria Blizzard deixou no ar que mais novidades podem aparecer no futuro. Xal’atath chega como assassina de pressão contínua A Blizzard classifica Xal’atath […] O post Heroes of the Storm recebe nova heroína após anos de espera apareceu primeiro em Folha do Leste.
