What was surprising to me was that they didn't immediately do pre-dawn raids on the pentesters' homes and hold them without a lawyer under some provision of an anti-terror law.

FWIW after reading though lots and lots of posts in the original bug report thread for this issue, I bought a Cable Matters “8K DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 Adapter” and it works perfectly to drive my Sony TV at 4K/120 from an AMD 6900X

To my understanding, many of these devices are detectable by anticheat: https://www.reddit.com/r/Csgohacks/comments/19dbut1/dma_chea... Anything that's plugged into the machine can be poked, prodded

I think just purely off of the additional effort—a cheat that requires a second PC and specialized hardware is simply going to have fewer users than something you can download and run. Some portion of people won't care enough or will h

I imagine that having to buy special hardware means fewer people will do it, the types of dongles used for this are likely detectable in some way by kernel-level anticheat, and computer vision based cheats probably work better when you can

“On” really is more casual/conversational than “nous”–I think both the original and your versions would seem stiff or impersonal coming from a shopkeeper in English, whereas the original French would not be confrontational in its word

American sprawl at its core, I think, is driven by single family residential-only zoning with parking minimums. In combination these rules force everything to spread out. Single family homes can exist in non-sprawling configurations (e.g. o

Based on the price of houses in walkable/transit accessible parts of older American cities, there’s quite clearly a market for it. Ultimately, many Americans have basically no reference point for what it would be like to not depend on

by macNchz 2y ago
My main complaint is that the people who like suburban density went ahead and made zoning codes to basically prevent building anything but sprawl, so now the few remaining places that don't require a car are rare and super expensive. I

Something about the not-quite-rightness of Markov output has always really amused me, like I can’t help but giggle at it. My all-time favorite in this vein was @erowidrecruiter on Twitter, which generated posts with Markov chains from a cor

I see the appeal of having a declarative syntax rather than writing a bunch of code to make the change reliably and safely.

The opportunity for it to be lucrative is different than the imperative. Huge debts preclude or at least disincentivize people whose motivations may be more altruistic from taking lower-paying, higher impact roles.

These huge loans for professional degrees are a problem as well, because they create the imperative for those careers to be super-high-earning.

I think that, to most 18 year olds, the concept of tens of thousands of dollars of debt is basically too abstract to reason about clearly. I agree that the fact kids can take on this amount of debt at that age–which cannot be discharged in

I have to imagine they’d only care if you were running significant volumes of test transactions and refunding thems, like if you were using live credentials in a dev environment. Either way I’d be hard pressed to deploy significant changes

Well three of those involve a toll on the Verrazzano unless you're starting or ending your trip on Staten Island itself, whereas the East River bridges into Manhattan are free. The GWB can be done without a toll, but if you're sho

A lot of really terrible congestion comes from people who are only passing through Manhattan on their way to/from other places, because the toll structure incentivizes that vs going around. I worked in the general vicinity of the Holla
