No, it relied on the fact that the player would ~always be looking straight at the screen at a relatively fixed distance. There was a slider you could use to set the strength of the depth effect, all the way to disabling it completely. It w

You'd need something that can actually parse the language to apply rules on language constructs like identifiers. I don't think EditorConfig supports this, but a linting tool would be able to.

The opacity is by design. Fraudsters will use every bit of available information to make their businesses appear legit. Having worked at Stripe (though not in risk), I'd wager that Stripe did not "fold instantly" for a 425k f

Correct. Stripe gave out stock options until around 2016 or 2017, then switched to double-trigger RSUs.

This is exactly what I recently set up for our small team: use Docker Compose to start Postgres and Redis, and run Rails and Sidekiq natively. Everyone is pretty happy with this setup, we no longer have to manage Postgres and Redis via Home

If I'm not mistaken, it needs to download a package to know its dependencies and version constraints. So when you have many packages with many dependencies, which themselves have dependencies etc. it can take a while for poetry to asse

Changing the number of iterations should automatically log you out on all devices. At least it did for me.

Iterations refer to the number of times the password goes through the hash function. The higher the number, the longer it takes, so you want it low enough that it doesn't impact your day-to-day use but high enough that it will hinder a

Oof, my Bitwarden account was created a while ago and was set to only 5,000 iterations. You can see and change the number of iterations here: https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/settings/security/security-key... (o

To offer another point of view: I work on a recent Rails app that was set up with Sorbet/Tapioca from the get-go. All Ruby code is `# typed: strict`, and we (I) feel like the ROI is generally positive. It's caught more than one bu

Steam often asks for the card's CVV2 even for saved cards. I don't know what the exact criteria are, but I'm pretty sure any order over a certain amount (which a Steam Deck would definitely be) would trigger this.

The Portfolio Charts[0] site has heat maps showing how long it takes for a given portfolio to have a positive ROI. The charts only go as far back as 1970, but they're interesting nonetheless. Indeed, for the Total Stock Market portfoli

Oh! I had a real world version of this game as a kid. I eventually figured out the algorithm for winning, then perfected it to win with the last marble in the center hole. I lost interest after, but this brings up some fond memories. I&#x27

Meh, the print change was fairly trivial. You could backport the print function in Python 2 codebases, and updating existing print statements to use the function was easy to automate. String changing from bytes to Unicode was a lot more pai

You only needed to learn some HTML. There was no CSS, no JS, server-side rendering was non-existent or limited to some very specific features provided by your host (visitor counters were popular, maybe even a guestbook where visitors could

They had both, you could get invited by an existing member or you could do an interview on IRC to show you knew the basics of MP3 encoding.

I expect the new UUID formats ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch... ) to fill that need once they get standardized and made available in standard libraries or popular packages.

I understand why websites would ban Tor exit nodes, but what's the point of banning middle relays? Wouldn't those only communicate with either other relays or exit nodes?

I get that it's because the author collected these examples from Twitter, but I find it upsetting that all this ASCII art is presented as pictures instead of... ASCII.

The reason financial institutions don't like adult content is not because of some arbitrary morality concerns, but rather simply because the adult industry is fraught with fraud, disputes and chargebacks.

There are studies indicating that past a certain level of income, more money doesn't bring more happiness. As a software engineer you can likely hit that threshold fairly easily even at a startup. I'd choose gratifying work at a s

Depends on your threat model. If all you want is to get away from Google / ad-tech, ProtonMail is fine, as are many alternatives (FastMail, etc.). ProtonMail is also probably fine(-ish) if you want to escape mass surveillance from US a

The gambit system was pretty polarizing. Programmer types liked it, but a lot of people perceived it as "the game playing itself" and didn't.
