I think that fits with how they think. HL3 has mythical status. We've already seen Valve devs make a major game in the HL universe and intentionally avoid "making HL3" due to this mythos. It takes a lot of confidence to say &

> Any player responding to ingame events (enemy appeared) with sub 80ms reaction times consistently should be an automatic ban. It's really much more nuanced than that. Counter-Strike 2 has already implemented this type of feature,

You'll never stop the arms race, but requiring specialized hardware to cheat is as close as you'll get to a decisive victory against cheats. The vast majority of cheaters in most games are not sophisticated users. Ease of access a

Ah, haven't gotten the chance to play it yet. But the same implication - we'll need someone at Valve with a big enough ego to take up the mantle.

From interviews with the Alyx devs, it really sounded like the only reason they didn't call it HL3 was fear of not living up to the name. Given the org structure at Valve, it's going to take someone with massive hubris to say &quo

Sites like Credit Karma / NerdWallet exist. While I think they are rife with affiliate link nonsense and paid promotion masquerading as advice, I'm also pretty sure they have paid researchers and writers generating genuine content

With zero prior knowledge of the context, the impression I got from the parent comment was that `parking_lot` had features that made it desirable enough that there was a decent amount of discussion about replacing the standard lib locks wit

You could create/run thin proxies for every external service that handle the auth side, and run each in a separate container. Orchestrate everything with docker-compose. Need to connect to cloud services for local development? Have a c

Seems like the simple solution to this problem would be to have both, no? A simple native lock in the standard library along with a nicer implementation (also in the standard library) that depends on the simple lock?

Even if they did check his passport, he didn't have an EU passport so probably shouldn't have been allowed to skip customs.

I think it's all a matter of finding a trigger (or reference) to grab the memory. A therapist talking to you almost certainly wouldn't achieve that, but walking down the street and smelling an odd smell might.

This was how many Runescape bots were developed back in the OSRS days. At some point (RS2?) they made the client super thin so there were no longer methods for high level game functionality (walk to here, get amount of gold in inventory, et

We haven't exactly solved that issue for human drivers. People impersonate police in order to commit crimes. How much more problematic is it with autonomous vehicles? I could see action here just because it is a threat to the property

That's the funny thing to me about these criticisms. Obviously it is an important caveat that many clueless people need to be made aware of, but still funny. AI will just make stuff up instead of saying it doesn't know, huh? Have
