There has to be some sort of nuance regarding why this seemingly simple fix hasn't been made yet. Changing from crashing to blocking doesn't seem like a big breaking change.

Yeah feels like they should be able to converge actions and pipelines. Keeping some separation between AzDo itself and GH also requires some balancing. But so far I’m pretty sure I could never sell our enterprise on a shift to GH. Simply no

Depends on how the game works a suppose. Mostly it depends on whether a cheater would ruin one short game, or many hours of games. I usually find async reporting useless because it already ruined my evening (this is under the assumption I’m

This was the norm. It just changed in the last few years (say, 10). And it could be the norm again. I still play games with zero cheaters because I return to the same server every night, playing against 63 other players where I usually have

Was this solved? Is this context only a cancellation flag or does it do something more? The obvious solution for a cancellation trigger would be to have cancellation as an optional second argument. That's how it's solved in e.g. C

Cheating is ultimately a human problem. You can have some safeguards and heuristics like the ones the article describe, to weed out 90% the most blatant cheaters, so I think anticheats like these are fundamentally a good thing. But the anti

This is true, but what is "reading and writing to memory" here? The article outlines dozens of ways of doing that with various hooks etc. And how they try to avoid that. If I put a hardware connection to the memory (basically WIRE

Honestly I'd prefer it if games could permaban based on just heuristics and the EULA simply stated "tough luck, buy the game again". I'd happily pay for that, knowing my money is at least not going to some 2 year legal f

So Ericsson was banned together with Huawei I take it, and some non-Chinese apps are being investigated similar to TikTok? No. This whole ”it’s just protectionism” doesn’t hold water for one second. Huawei has been banned in other places as

That GH Actions and Azure Pipelines both settled for this cursed Yaml is hard to understand. Just make a real programming language do it! And ffs make a local test env so I can run the thing.

by alkonaut 2y ago
That’s usually very hard or impossible for many things. The AzDo yaml consists of a lot of steps that are specific to the CI environment (fetching secrets, running tests on multiple nodes, storing artifacts of various kinds). Even if the ”m

Even if you think this is about protectionism rather than state sponsored espionage (I don't think many would agree with you) your comment makes little sense. Because if you wanted to enforce that kind of protectionism you would still

Where does this leave US federal privacy regulations? What can an app do with the data of US users?

Both are written with the idea of decentralization and federation in mind. Bluesky at least superficially looks centralized like Twitter, which is simply put, what I want. I believe that's the case for most ex Twitter users too.

How does this work, why are they banning individual companies? Shouldn't they be pointing to the regulation broken (or just set up such regulation)? Is the problem here that this is on the federal level and there is are no federal pr

They are supposed to be separate. The obvious problem is that once you let money into the process (when was the last time someone was elected to congres without spending money on a campaign? And why is that?) and the president (current, for

As I remember it there was a time before and after 3G for web browsing. The fidelity of the iPhone Safari early on was great, but those early 2 generations didn't really have the bandwidth to do much with it. Still, I agree it was a le

That Apple succeeded in having people pay $500 and up for a phone that was cool but frankly not very useful, was amazing. We should remember the original iPhone was more a tech demonstrator than anything else. It had the revolutionary touch

In what way is a BYD a completely different/revolutionary product compared to, say a KIA or Volvo EV? This comparison seems a bit strange tbh. Sure they are more nimble and have higher margins. But the products they make are still just

How is your particular description of spaced repetition really even relevant to the discussion? Yes you can do spaced repetion just as easily with any medium. ”But I can scan my pdfs and make flash cards” isn’t really an argument that appli

Yes any two streets crossing should ideally either be tiny (like small residential streets where no lights or signs are needed) or only one should be an obvious through street and the other(s) connecting streets. The key is to never have ”g

Yes. The crossings aren’t solved by the roundabout. But speeds are lowered going into the intersections. The crossings work the same (but may need to move away slightly from the roundabout).

Knew before I clicked: it's a flat 4-way intersection of two large-ish streets where there is ample space for something else. Hint: draw a small circle in the middle of the intersection and take down the damn stop signs.
