how to make the compound bow

Windows 10 preview vs Apple Bootcamp

Installed Windows 10 tech preview on Bootcamp partition (MBPR 15' 2014). Got random freezes as response for trivial actions.
Windows Log contains numerous errors "Event 129, storahci - Reset to device ..."

Cure: disable PCI-e Link State Power management in "Power Options". (link)

Or you may use only high performance power profile.

Connect to NodeJS Socket.IO server from Unity3d using WebSocketSharp

It wont work out of the box. So no connections with simple

using (var ws = new WebSocket ("ws://127.0.0.1")) {
ws.Connect();
};

Socket.IO clients hides much of inner details. So when you using plain WebSocket client you need to provide some additional params like this:

using (var ws = new WebSocket ("ws://127.0.0.1/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&b64=1")) {
ws.Connect();
};

    lz4 : Very Fast Compression algorithm

    According test its almost as twice as fastest decompression (Google's Snappy), but with slightly better compression rate with better speed.

    Code license: New BSD License

    "LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 300 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores CPU. It also features an extremely fast decoder, with speeds up and beyond 1GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems."
