How exactly would an open source anti-cheat do its job effectively?

The array is a pretty safe bet in most circumstances, on modern hardware. Without a benchmark showing otherwise, I would always default to arrays.

I see code without purpose all the time. I have some colleagues who seem to believe that they should assign `null` to class fields when disposing an object. And no, the object will not be recycled, and never was.

Actually it would be much better for us if the sun were a little smaller, and earth just a little closer to it to compensate. As the sun gets older it gives us more energy, not less. A less heavy sun would last much much longer.

Was it really suppressed? I literally couldn't tell you anything about any of my great great grandparents, and the only thing I know about my great grandparents is that two of them used to own a bakery. I don't know any of their n

Likewise! I have used it to easily visualize dependency graphs at multiple employers. The pictures can get a bit messy when they're very large, but they were amazing for detecting incorrect/missing dependencies.

That's a strange thing to say. Are you suggesting that the German people are especially vulnerable to committing society-level mass crimes (compared to other nationalities) and thus have a duty (to who?) to be extra vigilant and tough

I don't think they implied that. I doubt OP meant anything by it; they also refer to their "good" friends, do you also question whether OP is ignoring suicide when it happens to (children of) ordinary friends? The distiction

One might even argue that it is a bit racist to assume all white people have the same culture.

You forgot people who get malware with a keylogger. Or are those included in the category of people that give away their keys?

But will that "reject/disagree all" button also object to the 100 "partners" that data will be shared with because of (il-)legitimate interest?

Oh please. One might argue that the GDPR is a bit vague on some points, but it is very readable for ordinary people, and it clearly states that opting out should not be harder than opting in. So no, these dark patterns that push you into

I disagree. Like, you have `StringComparison.Ordinal`, which is case sensitive, and `StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase`, which is indeed case insensitive, but it's a separate thing.

Ordinal compares the literal bytes. The other comparison variants have additional features, e.g. case-insensitivity.

No. When you just find some source code without a license (either as header or included as a separate fire) you must assume there is no license, so "all rights reserved" applies. So no header is required to protect the code. What

If you didn't update the content of the page itself, surely updating the copyright year on every page is just a big fat lie?

> I really wish Rust would reconsider the decision to throw its hands up at non-lexical destruction guarantees. This is related to the thread::scoped removal from 2015 (IIRC), after which mem::forget was added. Anyway, I'm rambling.

Isn't that mantra a bit too pessimistic? After fixing the performance issue, a speedup that was almost linear in the number of cores was achieved using multithreading. In addition, async code can bring much of the same challenges as mu

Is this the kind of situation where assigning a core affinity to the various threads would have made a difference (to make sure they all run on the same physical processor), or is the mere presence of another processor enough to trigger the

Immutable collections wouldn't really help here since Rust does not have a garbage collector, so they would still be wrapped in an `Arc<T>`, or use one internally. Unless you're giving each thread their own copy of the immut

That example only works for fines. If the punishment is 1 year in prison, then you can't get someone else to volunteer for you, even if they wanted to. And it would be quite ridiculous if suicidal (or terminally ill) people could vol

To punish one for the sins of another does not sound like justice to me, not does it hold the sinner accountable. A judge who kills his own son so that he could pardon the people that come before him is clearly insane. Doubly so if the judg

How would an NFT help here? Nobody is disputing that you bought the music (or, more precisely, bought a license for the music, that they may revoke at their discretion). The NFT proves nothing that a receipt wouldn't also prove. What y

Don't we accept that our children will die and countless others will suffer long-term consequences every time we take a car instead of walking? As long as the suffering is sufficiently vague and indirect (such as with air pollution and

That seems unethical. Writing or not writing the word 'bingo' in this context has nothing to do with skills or knowledge related to biology, so it should not affect test scores.
