If I see an interesting article, I'll generally open the comments in a new tab and then immediately open the article, so when I'm done with the article I can hit back and go directly to the comments.

Chess is in many ways, the perfect esport. I'm sure I'll take some flack for calling it an esport due to its rich history and the fact that it was not originally a "video game", but in 2021 those lines are blurred. In my

Correct, VAC is very different than EAC. But it's absolutely not true that there are not open source cheats that bypass EAC, FaceIT, and ESEA. The more popular ones get patched, but I've seen a bunch of smaller ones that do not ge

Sorry, I edited my comment after you asked. We don't have an "anti-cheat" in the traditional sense, though I've developed a few solutions to curb cheating in the past. Fortunately, it's not really a problem I'v

As someone who runs an online Counterstrike platform, I can attest to this firsthand. There are literally dozens of open source cheats on Github that bypass the major anticheat services. And when one gets detected, they're usually upda

Here are some numbers I dug up: Mailchimp has ~13MM users and 800k paying customers. In 2019 they had revenues of $700MM. In 2020 they had EBITDA of ~$300MM. They are fully bootstrapped and have taken on zero outside funding.

Not OP, but I can think of two reasons – too many LEO satellites can actually hinder views of the night sky[0] and additionally, the risk of kessler syndrome[1]. I'm in no way equipped to give a scientific risk assessment of either, so

You should be able to do this with a third party service such as https://fixtur.es/en/team/philadelphia-union I route my remote calendars through Cloudflare workers for a modicum of privacy. It's as simple as

I run a free hand-curated concert calendar in NYC[0] with a friend. It's all operated manually and we still end up with 15-20 great shows every night. If this were automated or scraped, you'd have 250 events on your calendar per d

Oh, I'm not defending this license in particular. That's a great point, apologies. Most fonts I see for sale have a one-time license fee for # of views/month. So if you do 500k monthly views you pay ~$99 once, and 5MM views i

Fonts are a herculean effort and a dazzling display of creativity and taste. The fee for a good font is, generally speaking, nominal. Use free fonts if you want, but a good font is worth paying for. You are "crazy"[0] for expecti

Maybe in Manhattan, but Brooklyn is booming – apartments are being snatched up in days and rents seem to be trending towards all time highs right now. "New York" is bigger than just Midtown Manhattan. I don't think we need th

You can "hide" a websocket connection behind a shared worker and that won't show up in the network connection tab. I do that on a site of mine, but for a less nefarious reason: sharing a websocket connection between multiple

I started playing about a year ago during the pandemic and it's been a really fun and cheap way to get outside, play a casual sport with friends or even solo. I also highly recommend watching a tournament on JomezPro[0]. They do day-af

What a coincidence. I was bitten by a lone star tick last week. I didn't notice it until several days later when I found it fully engorged. I did check myself entirely after I was in tall grass, but I think it was stuck to my clothes a

Perhaps cynical, perhaps a baseless conspiracy. I'll own up to that. But I don't think it's such a massive stretch, nor would I put it past Apple to do such a thing.

Apple took our headphone jacks, then gave us lossless audio. How generous. My 6s is starting to show its wear, unfortunately. I don't expect it, but I truly hope the next iPhone has a headphone jack. People want airpods whether or not

Nonsense. Transpilers have been misused at times in the javascript community, but overall they have played a *massive* role in modernizing javascript and enabling us to write much sounder, more robust, and bug-free code that runs everywhere

That’s a fair question, but I do a lot more than just listen to music. I jump on a call, I watch a YouTube video, I put on a basketball game or even the news. Those are all latency sensitive.

I have a nice pair of wired headphones and I listen to a lot of lossless audio. I like being able to get up from my desk to fill up my water glass or grab a snack without breaking the flow of music. Bluetooth isn't ideal due to the qua

This is incredible. I've been wanting a piece of software to stream high quality, low latency mac audio to my iphone, so I can use my headphones wirelessly while working. I'll have to play with it more, but I was set up in mere mi
