UX Collective·I've heard about the jargon anti-aliasing a lot but didn't gather enough courage to actually find out what it is as I thought it is something that only some deranged mathematician can understand. Turns out that I was wrong and it was dead simple.

- Cyclic Redundancy CheckRustaceans·
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is an algorithm that is used to detect errors in digital communication and storage systems. CRC comes with varying bit sizes that determine how long the checksum it produced. The commonly used CRC are 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit.

- Byte Order MarkRustaceans·
Byte Order Mark (a.k.a BOM) is a special marker used in the encoding of a text file or a stream. It is represented as U+FEFF in unicode. It can be thought of just an arbitrary text appended to the original content of a file or a stream.

- Bloom Filtergitconnected·
Bloom Filter is a data structure that allows rapid lookup on an element, say a string whether it is present in a set. Implementation-wise, it is a bit vector that contains an array of zeros and ones (booleans) with a fixed length. It is known for its space and time efficiency.

- Hosting a Minecraft Server LocallyUX Collective·
Hosting a Minecraft server can be expensive for casual players. Free services like Athernos are laggy at times. Moreover, the saved files might get lost on the server entirely. All the painstaking effort to the world has gone in vain. Hence, it is imperative for us to self-host the server ourselves.
