If Apex Legends, CS, and Valorant has taught me anything, it's that anti cheat does not work. Once you start approaching a pro level, cheating becomes rampant. The cheaters don't make them, they buy them. It really needs a multi

Not really. You can't buy it, and it doesn't work online without community support.

They are bad UX if I can't disable them. I universally hate all notifications. Stop stealing my attention. It's cognitive abuse bordering on violence. If I want to know I will go look, you don't need to shove it in my fac

Like how Warhol took a stock dpaint image recreation of Birth of Venus and copy/pasted a third eye on it? Who ripped off who here?

The problem is when you balance the humans that are remarkable drivers with those that are terrible, the average trends towards terrible. Any kind of assistance for the terrible drivers would be helpful.

I used blueprint's predecessor 'kismet' quite extensively. I absolutely hated it. Give me unrealscript any day. Blueprint is popular because that's all you have. They removed unrealscript. To do anything even slightly

They are good games and I want to play them, but I agree it does not work in Linux, and more generally, it simply does not work at all. Play any game with kernel level anti-cheat and you will find lobby after lobby full of cheaters.

"To continue the install, sign in to your Microsoft account..." Of all the downgrades when 'upgrading' to Win11, this one bothers me the most.

Your comment puts it very succinctly. They don't care about your gaming experience on Mac. They care about money. I wish they weren't so short sighted here. They can't see through the trees that maybe they won't make m

Interesting. I was a long time heavy cannabis user and developed cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome over the years. It causes severe gastrointestinal issues and vomiting. Relief comes from taking scalding hot baths or showers. I wonder if

I think a bigger issue that is not discussed much is synchrotron radiation. If you try to control a charged particle's trajectory with a magnet, it releases radiation. The more you try to heat a plasma up and control with magnets, the

Yep, it's the food. There are many famous 'food destinations' around the world. Usually the line goes around the block. You always have to wait, either in line, for a reservation, etc. People wait because it's worth

You really should use whatever works best in the situation. Languages are tools. Javascript, Typescript, C, C++, C#, Java, Go, Rust, Zig, etc all have their strengths and weaknesses. It's a mistake to typecast yourself as a specific

The hair on your head grows indefinitely. The hair on your arms and legs grows to a certain length and then stops. You can shave it off, but it grows again, but only to that same length. How does the hair on arms and legs 'know'

This reminds me one of the reasons I hated C++ so much. 1000+ lines of error messages about template instantiation, instead of 'error: missing semicolon'.

It's a bit frustrating that I have to click around hunting for an example of the syntax. If you are making a new programming language, please do us a favor and put your Hello World syntax example right on the landing page.

To be fair, Apple is a bit hostile towards open source developers. I can write windows and linux software from both windows and linux, but to write apple software I need a mac and a developer account that costs money. If firefox depends o

I didn't say it was a good idea. It's more an observation about incentives which I did feel was relevant about gp's comment on philosophy.

My layman understanding is that charge is not fundamental. It derives from something called weak hypercharge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_hypercharge
