She personally claims to have written it all on her own, in the press release she also says she was intern at Sales force in Bangalore, attended MIT Launch and her profile says she is a "16 year old programmer and entrepreneur" al

by FRex 9y ago
Yes. "If you manage to get social media on your side by endearing them then you can lie and steal" is the better lesson to teach a 16 year old. A 16 year old can waste his or her life by this age if he or she does really badly in

This is the limit for a no-questions-asked refund that is automatically available. If you run into a bigger issue you can contact support. There was once a case where a supposedly multi-level game contained only one unbeatable level that se

The refunds came (I think) in 2015. The original case was in 2014 (as said in the article).

So? The original point being disputed was that SU and Soviet people "never achieved much" which is not true in many areas, one of which is becoming a militarily powerful country able to engage in a stand off with USA while 100 yea

The original point was that SU never achieved much in any area (which is clearly not true). A point could today be made that lots of research in the USA with its growing inequality is also not being used to create 'an abundance for all

The first nuclear power plant connected to the grid to actually power stuff was one in the SU. The first artificial satellite, first animal in orbit and first human in space are all from SU. The first properly continuously inhabited space s

And my understanding is that Gabe Newell who runs this circus just happens to have claimed so when the milk was already long split. If he is so concerned that Valve will be associated with spyware then he shouldn't have let VAC team

No, it's clearly not. There are people in the linked issue saying they had no cheats and just the username and got banned and the last comment is a Valve employee stating this is all intentional and forbidding any further discussion of

Exfiltrating what websites you've accessed. That's basically what a spyware does. What in actual fuck.

It's about the local Linux account name (which frankly Steam has no business touching or inspecting the contents of past pasting it into a path IMO), not the in chosen steam name (which can be anything) nor the unique steam name in pro

Then perhaps I should make a fork that uses your username to get you banned and then proceed spit in your face when it happens and tell you it's your fault. Or reinstall my TF2 and get banned so then I can tell you to stick it. It&#x

Comments like these really rub me the wrong way. If it were some other company that actually has such a program or isn't as evil and uncooperative in so many aspects as Apple I could even agree to the sentiment (but not the wording). B

There is also Colobot (and Ceebot but it's more constrained IMO and it's not free), it's very fun (and not just programming but also some other stuff) even though the graphics look like PS2 and in theory you can finish the ga

I never did that actually and it seems involved, hard and very limiting for what such a script could do. I dislike talking about touchy high risk stuff like that in general since someone might think what I say is a list of things to do to b

I don't really follow the development of Lua in any way. Lua 5.3 was very underwhelming to me, I didn't care for the ints and bit operators at all (and before 5.3 the one number type was a selling point) and it's annoying h

Pointers do not ever 'move'. You also should never store variables (to userdata, memory chunks, strings, etc.) by pointers or anything like that according to documentation because they might be collected at any time. To stuff like

That's bullshit and hearsay. Until content is provided in convenient standard formats, DRM free (it does fuck all beyond annoying paying customers already), offline friendly, region lock free, etc. it's an apples to oranges compar

And why would people in their right mind want to pay (for example as it is with many anime) for a stream only option, with no choice of subs or dubs given, no file download, etc. instead of getting it for free, cheaper, easier, faster, bett

Also - no more "stream only" bullshit and "not available in your region" bullshit. There is a certain anime I was interested in. I'm Polish so Crunchy Roll and Steam both are region restricted and tell me that it&#x

I might. I'll inform you if I do but I generally try to avoid controversial topics like these.

How much time and cost do most of the things I listed add? I mean really. Building a 32 bit exe of a game that uses no 64 bit features, packing assets up to avoid FS chatter, loading lazily, closing up ports on an IoT appliance, not abusing

No. There is no trade off. This game is a VN, this is a very simple genre, I could reimplement the engine easily in C++ and Lua and I do not consider myself a superstar. And I do not need to be Gordon Ramsey to be able to tell I've bee

1. The fact Poland got more MEPs as a bigger country and that bigger countries get less MEPs per eligible voter to protect the smaller ones are absolutely obvious. I'm not sure what you are even "picking" here, the point is t

It feels like that dev time cost is instead being crowdfunded by energy, disk, CPU and RAM that every user has to pay with and eventually that cost is paid by Earth itself. An app might be cheap or free but in the long time cheaper for the

I absolutely disagree with everything here. Voting doesn't require extraordinary feats of intelligence or lots of time. Probably up to 99% of people in Europe are literate and not declared insane and thus able to vote. All it requires
