"Mirror image glyphs occur when flipping one character creates another" About a half of the article is about these "mirror image glyphs". Why would they be a problem for the proclaimed purpose of character distinction? H

A mention without a mention - I get that, but why do you think it's dirty to skip the log in?

The whole point of C/C++ is knowing your environment. It's not Java, it's not TypeScript. It's one level above assembly, and if you change the compiler and things break, then it's your fault. If the standards still

All games are different, and for some game, this may be true, but what I, personally, have in my mind in a discussion about intrusive anti-cheats is a fast shooter with lag compensation like CS or CoD, and for them, this problem is not solv

Can't say for DRM, but there's much bigger demand to play a multiplayer action game without experiencing cheating than demand for a similar game that's not a rootkit. Cheaters are nasty. Devs make rootkit anti-cheats simply b

It's a lottery with ~1/3 winning chance. I'd say most of foreign devs in the US are actually L-1 that is actually worse because L-1 prohibits the dev from changing jobs unless the dev gets a new visa.

Why do you think so? How is "a users' local network" significantly different from "a children's book"?

Exclusive mode is a feature, not a bug. If the user needs the bits coming out of the user's DAW to reach the speakers as pristine as possible, then the user probably doesn't want these bits mixed with any other application. If the

How is WASAPI lacking? I thought the abundance of FL Studio beat producers proved that for audio work, today, Windows is completely fine.

With absurd tariffs like Trump's, it would be cheaper to re-export goods through a third country. Why haven't American retailers employed this?

A lot of people in the comments blame the victim. Why isn't "go talk to a lawyer" the most common response? Are American lawyers that can read three-paragraph licenses so prohibitively expensive?

So, there's Skia. Skia is a high-level library that converts texts to glyph indices, does high-level text layout, and caches glyphs (and it also makes GPU calls). But the actual parsing of the font file and converting glyphs to bitmaps

That's a... like 20 years old talking point by now? I mean, you can probably find _a_ Linux that's like what you say, but top Linux distros are nowhere like that.

I don't think they can succeed though, because the 5. is the crucial step, as being a baby-making machine is a full-time job, and no lobby is going to get a lot of following from the business with the premise to cut the available workf

Perhaps in the future, governments could put strict caps on the amount of data one can download. For example, 1GB and no Internet for a person for the rest of the month.
