Habe they? I’ve used tools that mostly do it, but they require manually writing templates for the frameworks. In internal apps my experience has been these get left behind as the service implementations change, and it ends up with “copy you

There have been a handful of leaps - copilot was able to look at open files and stub out a new service in my custom framework, including adding tests. It’s not a multiplier but it certainly helps

I was on a 2 hour flight this week. The guy in front of me listened to a political podcast on speaker that was loud enough it cut through my noise cancelling earbuds. There was absolutely no chance I was risking my safety calling him out on

The average consumer won’t pirate it unless it’s easier to obtain the pirated copy than a legit version. They’ll suffer through ads, poor quality, high prices. A good example is music - I’d bet audio piracy is bordering on a rounding error

I’ve been writing c++ since before then too. A lot has changed in the world, notably package managers are actually used with c++ these days.

The minute a project has maven in it the build is slow. Don’t even get me started on Gradle…

My experience with the defaults in JavaScript is that they’re pretty slow. It’s really, really easy to hit the limits of an express app and for those limits to be in your app code. I’ve worked on JVM backed apps and they’re memory hungry (w

What makes you think that I think kernel AC is a silver bullet? I’ve said in pretty much every comment here that cheating is an arms race and there’s no silver bullet. Taking the defence in depth argument - kernel AC is another layer that h

There’s a cooldown on replies! An anecdote of one game isn’t proof that they don’t help - you’re not comparing it against a game that kept user mode AC to see what the impact was there. The fact that vanguard “cratered” the cheats for a whi

And yet GCC and MSVC both refuse to break ABI and have done so for over a decade.

I completely agree with you. That said, I wish code written for gcc v28 didn't have to be binary compatible with C++ that was last compiled in 2008...

I’m not a particularly skilled overwatch player, but I know the cooldowns of probably half the characters to muscle memory. I can hit an ability pretty much perfectly on cooldown 90+% of the time. The vast, vast majority of skilled FPS play

Absolutely not. Making wildly speculative claims and saying that the lack of proof of it not happening is conspiracy theory territory

I’m sorry but what’s your source for this? This is a fairly wild claim.

A DMA cheat requires a hardware change (and a second device). That is a much higher barrier than a download plus reboot. > you can achieve the same with user mode anticheats A user mode anti cheat is immediately defeated by a kernel mode

It’s not about costs, it’s about tradeoffs. In an online shooter game (for example) there is latency, and both clients are going to have slightly different viewpoints of the world when they take an action. No amount of netcode can solve th

Question for you - why don’t you buy a console? (I agree with you by the way, it’s why I have a ps5)

The number of people willing to spend $120 and hook up a hardware device compared to downloading and running an executable is significantly less. That’s kind of the point of it!
