People that like to play those games can always dual boot so that kernel-level access doesn't run on the non-gaming OS. It's not ideal, but it allows Linux gaming without compromising your kernel for non-gaming work. Or if you want the option of switching without a reboot you can run another linux instance in a VM, even a VM that uses a logical partition instead of its own image so that you can also boot normally into that partition when you want. Again, not ideal, but if you're committed to Linux then it's still better than being forced into Windows for gaming.
Supported side-loading is a thing on Android since day one? What innovation came out of this? Thousands of rip-off apps, all sort of malware pushed upon clueless users? I know, that some of those things are still a problem on iOS, but just imagine how worse this can gen, if they would be forced to open up the system for additional app stores.
Image recognition is way too slow to help with aiming.
Got the same vibe reading this as I did when introduced to Turbo Pascal 7's inline x86 support back in the day. Very seamless and absolutely fantastic for games/demo programming in particular :-)
Suggestion: Group the US states in to a larger “US” bubble.

Game devs should know who's cheating serverside. After all, that's where most of the logic takes place, specifically because they don't trust users.
It's not freedom, its security. DRM is neither here nor there as long as its in user-space. It sucks for the consumer, but I understand why companies do it even if I don't like it.

Kernel level drivers are a whole different can o' worms. A corporation could make my gaming rig into part of what amounts to a spyware botnet with me being none the wiser other than encrypted traffic coming OUT of my machine. Those drivers by design are black boxes, and there is no way to monitor what your machine is actually doing. That shit shouldn't be on mine or anyone else's system, especially under the premise of a "fair gameplay environment".
Wild how this turned from "I don't want a game-related kernel-level driver in my system" to "I don't want China spying on me" in one reply. You lost me there to be honest, if you think the "true" purpose of anti-cheat drivers is for a foreign power to spy on us boring ordinary uninteresting people.

But you are correct in saying that it's a personal choice for everyone to make for themselves, based on how much they value fair play in their hobby of choice.

Particularly for anyone who puts hundreds (thousands?) of hours into getting good at their competitive multiplayer game of choice, the trade between installing an anti-cheat, suffering cheaters, or giving up on their hobby, is probably not the same math you're doing.
Well seeing as there is little to no consensus on whether certain tech companies have a monopoly or not... I'd say it's a hard line to draw.
> even faster than it already is.

No arguments here!
Old cities in North America have cores that were created pre-automobile.
They were built on "human/horse scale" like cities in Europe.

New cities in the mid west are spread out over wide distances assuming automobile transportation.

Denver and the surrounding suburbs come to mind and Calgary in Canada as well.
/r/antiwork: A tragedy of sanewashing and social gentrification
> A 20 year old PC still works

A horse and buggy still work, that doesn’t mean the only purpose of cars is creating waste.
Sorry to hear about that. Valve has customer support though. On a request I had a few months ago I got responses promptly.
actually, any half decent gaming laptops nowadays, matches the old standard for "professional laptop", usually required ports and bays, decent battery life (4-6 hours for 13-14' models even with nvidia), superb displays (not that big in brightness / nits maybe - 300 at least - but 120 mhz is almost a standard).

Most gaming laptops nowadays also, sport a sober look (full black gaming laptops ala Thinkpad are usual), not the previously common "RGB-everywhere".

The lost upgradability in Thinkpads is even fully available in many gaming laptops, even some 14' ones have one-two RAM slots available.

The performance required for a professional laptop is fully there too, fast processors, lots of ram, several internal storage devices (in 15' gaming laptop is quite common one -upgradable - SSD plus a 2.5 bay sporting a much bigger HDD, accouting for several TBs in internal storage, almost unthinkable in most current "professional" laptops, specially if you want NOT to pay U$S 2000+).

And the guarantees usually span 2 years.

I think my future work laptop will be one of those amazing machines.
Experiences Working with an Outsourced Dev Shop (2021)
its categorically untrue. it is at best wishful thinking. but if the person who says it knows that the statement is false because of human nature and the way we interact in societies, what does that say about them?
It means legally speaking you can't even go for a run or to a supermarket without one.

Of course, it turns out you absolutely can if you're not 'suspicious'. A colleague of mine is short, bald, and wears a keffiyeh. He gets stopped for identity checks from time to time. I am never stopped (obviously, this does give away my skin colour and the fact that I have an unassuming or conformist appearance).

CVE-2021-39137 – a Golang security bug that Rust would have prevented
In a way they did. HTML/HTTP is exactly what you get if you extend it to cover all the modern stuff, and it's great.

I think the real question is why can't the display manager just be a browser, plus some backwards compatibility for "here's a bunch of pixels"..

All the RAM use issues of Electron go away if the whole desktop is a single shared browser, plus you can do client side JS work and not need to send any data at all for a lot of things, AND you can cache things, plus you can decompress video client side, play sound on the client...

Just do HTTP over UNIX domain sockets with some signalling to tell the server to open a window.
There are some missing pieces to help people here to guide you more.

What is your working hours? How long do you work in a week?
What is the unit of your salary? EUR/GBP/USD? Also is that a net value per year? Are there any tax reductions?
I found Tirana weird given how many flash cars there were. 750i’s and s600’s just driving around like they were doing laps on a Friday night.

However, there was also some very nice streets with new bars and restaurants. Like a lot of people had recently been pouring cash into the place which is always a good sign.

The people who I met were always super friendly and outgoing too, some of the most friendly I’ve experienced.
I love PHP "arrays" but there is one tiny gotcha that becomes more important as we do type-safety stuff more and more.

`$a['1'] = 'string';` becomes `$a[1] = 'string';`. This appears to be the case for any fully-fledged decimal number where `(string)(int)$key === $key`

So if you are expecting `array_keys` to return all strings, you might get surprised
I don't think so and this is where unregulated markets (although I am not a fan at all) would push the prices down. If anyone can provide an app store and that app stores fees are lower people will move.

What Apple and Google need to do is work on assuring that Apps can be uniquely identified (which the can already) and validated so that you don't have a clone of an App in another app store.
I think it's a choice with lots of positives and negatives tradeoffs on both sides (in-kernel anti-cheat vs userland anti-cheat), where any choice is not gonna make everyone happy.

How much data a in-kernel or user-land anti-cheat can easily be detected by observing the traffic that flows out from your network, so it really doesn't matter if it's open source or not.

The biggest roadblock to a open source in-kernel anti-cheat is not "exposing the amount of data they extract from you", but rather it exposes how the anti-cheat is working, which is working against the efficiency of the anti-cheat. If you know how they detect you're cheating, it's much easier to overcome that hurdle.

In most cases, security-by-obscurity is obviously flawed, but when it comes to cheat/fraud detection, exposing how it happens makes it's core value less efficient.
The difference between fiscal and monetary policy.
I think you may be confused about what "security through obscurity" means. The security from these coprocessors is not from obscurity but is part of the design.
I wonder what's their reasoning here, it is obvious that this is will not satisfy anybody. Are they buying time? Or do they want to show that they are above everybody and don't try to mess with us (except if you're China of course)?

We used to hate Microsoft for much less than this. I wonder how Apple can still have so many fans, even on this forum.
See my comment to deserted in this thread. Does that clarify the steps or is there something more specific you’re asking about?
Reconnecting the fuse isn't a thing, as the other comment notes it's just a bunch of atoms somewhere in the chip. But in case of ROM protection for microcontrollers the fuse doesn't directly, in silicon, prevent reading the ROM - after all the controller still needs to be able to read its code! So in practice the fuse only disables e.g. JTAG access, and often that isn't even done in silicon but through a manufacturer boot ROM that checks the fuse state, then either disables or enables JTAG.

So often the easiest way to still read the ROM is to find some vulnerability in the code the chip is running and use that to run some code that can leak the ROM contents. Beyond that it's possible with voltage glitching and similar fault injection methods to get the chip to skip the fuse check or put it in some other indeterminate state that allows access - there are some well documented methods for popular microcontrollers:

Beautiful house you bought here. Can you present proof of income ?
I think that strengthens the point, don't you? Deep blue could beat humans a long time ago, and it's still the case that computers don't need humans to play chess, and play it better than humans do.
The same way open source crypto libraries do.
The Missing Kubernetes Type System
The problem with this logic is that most multiplayer games have post-sale economies with cosmetics and other add-ons, and I would guess that most of those sales comes from casual players.

So while anti-cheat helps protect the pro/serious players (who in some ways are community/marketing leaders in this world of Twitch and YouTube), it also creates a fair environment for all the casual and aspiring players who keep spending money on the game in droves.
I agree but it should only be present for pro competitions (and by pro I really mean playing is their job).
Well, my 20 year old car still works.

There are 50 year old cars on my road - our cars could probably go on forever (though they won't, within 10 or 20 years my city will probably mandate electric drivetrains).

I think that newer cars are more likely to create waste for many of the same reasons.

Of course we can't extend the timeline out forever, but we can at least take steps to not _artificially_ cause obsolescence, this is distinct from the way in which a car is inherently far more useful than a horse and buggy.
I think the focus on corporations is just because the focus of this episode is specifically on Uber. I don't think any serious anti-car movement would fail to place blame with the government.
Didn't even think about that. A part of me wants to think of Xbox as this cool company that wont prevent Linux support. But Microsoft isn't necessarily know for being overly friendly towards Linux huh
Windscale Fire
Like SSL, Apple and Google need to do their part to provide a way for developers to validate an app and prevent clones from being installed instead even if coming from a 3rd party store.

The best way is to check the market directly: do some interviews, get offers, compare. It's a lot of work but chances are that you'll come out of it much better off. If you think about it, basically nothing you do at your current job will pay off as much spending that effort interviewing. And if you're not willing to change jobs, then your market value is whatever they feel like paying you now.
Every "liberal media outlet" I've seen tends to just regurgitate opinions they see on Twitter, so I don't really understand what "pushed" means in your context. It seems more like they're amplifying existing outrage than anything.
Using xrender would pretty much result in terrible performance, not allowing the extreme parallelism of GPUs. This is the fundamental problem with X, it originates from a time when GPUs were not even a thing. It had a great run, but let it sleep now.

Also, DRI3 doesn’t solve the fundamental security flaw of X - which can only be solved by nesting multiple X servers into each other. At that point we would have a much uglier architecture than we have with wayland.
Being opensource doesn't imply the game server will allow modified builds to work. Being able to see the code doesn't mean you will find a suitable way to circumvent the anticheat.

That being said, I agree it would be harder to maintain an open source anticheat effectively.

I never had such an issue.
US law requires them to allow you 12 weeks unpaid parental leave. I would highly recommend taking that, it will help a lot.

The first 0-12 months of parenting is a sleepless job, 12-24 is just slightly better. You may be surprised how much sleep deprivation impacts you, and is a very well known cause for depression. Unfortunately the parenting job doesn't let up and the sleeplessness is required to keep the baby alive. It's not really a pleasant time, but it will make you stronger.

Just consider that this year, and maybe next, aren't ideal times to start an external project. This is time to bond with your wife and baby, it's an internal startup that if executed well has an infinite upside.

In a couple years, you will be able to return to your other projects. Keep in mind what's important now, and know that depression is very common - for both mothers and fathers - after a newborn. Seek counseling if it's seriouse. Otherwise, this too will pass.

Be proud of your choices and congratulations! A family is a wonderful thing.
There’s so many potential pitfalls with side loading and alternate app stores

Apple’s behavior is BS and they need to be forced to allow competition

They’ve done it to themselves
I’m vulnerable to recency bias. The books that my recent life has pivoted on are Die Wise and Come of Age by Stephen Jenkinson. Both books are journeys that bedevil any effort to summarize. I highly recommend listening to the author read them as audiobooks - the words move too quickly on the page, and the author is kindling a modern spoken tradition. The early going to Die Wise was difficult, but my mind gave way to curiosity and they stole my heart and mind away from the rat race.
True, but they are somewhat different tools with different purposes, writing an operating system in Python is a bad idea and doing web in C is cumbersome.

Thus I wouldn't blame Python if I used it for something it wasn't designed for, similar I wouldn't blame the screwdriver if I used it for punching a nail into a board.

There seems to be a constant drive to have one language to rule them all, instead of using specialized languages that are designed for a specific domain.

That is why I think PHP is such a good fit for the web because it is actually designed with that in mind.

> if so then the fed has been doing "unsound" monetary policy for most of the last 10 years.

Fed has to work within the tools it has. Especially when government is stuck and fiscal policy is almost never sound or enough. With the tools it has, it has done it right. The problem is that there is zero lower bound.
Dumb question: why are cycles and instruction set not related?

Because instruction set is the interface and the architecture is the implementation? Or something else?
You have to go way, way back to the 70s or very early 80s for some imagined Golden Age of Lego where the things this article is moaning about were not the case.

The most concerning issue with Lego to my mind is that they seem to be creatively bankrupt. Licensed IP kept the company afloat in their dark days, but they don't even try to put out their own themes anymore.

So, instructions can have different pulses. therefore, different cycles. How did we end up 1.8ms to 5M cycles ?
Phenomenal book. One of the few books I have gifted to friends over the years. Gets one to think about the randomness of situations (geography, diversity of flora, etc) that lead to critical outcomes (advancement of a society).

Copyright infringement. But nobody cared. That was the beauty of the Internet last century. The general public wasn't online (much), the impact of what happened on the Internet was limited. Even though 1on1 could be eavesdropped (like physical), nobody cares. Usually. And if they do, they will eavesdrop, that is still true nowadays (que NSO zero day reference), and probably justified (has to be within proportion of law).
By using hardware attestation? Same mechanism used by secure boot and DRM could be used for anticheat.
Thanks, I get all the arguments from the developers and that it should be better in principle in the long run. But I need screen sharing, screen shots, and of course xsnow ;-)
Who uses XRender? If nobody is using XRender, is it because everyone is wrong or is it because XRender is not the best solution to the problem it's trying to solve today? And sure, X just transfers messages between clients, and the window manager is just a client, but it feels like X is redundant here - why not have a unified protocol so that the clients can talk to the window manager directly? That way, the window manager can actually delegate different functionality using some kind of an authentication mechanism. X was developed when the principle of least privilege wasn't as prevalent and it shows. I don't want all of my applications to be able to capture all of my screens at all times. Yet with X, there's no way to prevent this.

And, may I ask,why are you so quick to dismiss the core developers of X?
Third party app stores cannot automatically update apps - each individual update requires going through a modal OS prompt to confirm. This harms the install experience on e.g. F-Droid or Amazon Store on non-Amazon devices.

There's a lot of advise given on Twitter, Reddit and personal blogs. At face value, these seem reasonable things, but once tried out they don't work at all.
Overall, you're right, though I have seen a few legit, established artists dip their toes into the NFT space (eg, James Jean, Phil Hale). My partner used to run a gallery for new media and digital-focused art. That community has always had the problem that artists working in those media haven't been able to just sell a painting or sculpture the same way that artists working in traditional media. Anything that would actually make it straightforward for artists working in digital media to make a living would be welcome and there was some hope that NFTs might be that. From what I've seen, a few have made a bunch of money, but mostly that community has rejected NFTs. Some because of environmental concerns, some because of all the usual reasons that come up in NFT/crypto discussions, and some because of the backlash itself (you might make some money minting an NFT, but you're also likely to lose a lot of your existing fans). The result is that most of what's left in NFTs now is the scammy, ponzi-scheme-y, low creativity generative ape type stuff and it's looking like that's going to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I recommend following Kyle McDonald on twitter (@kcimc) if you want some deep dives on exactly why a lot of artists are skeptical about crypto/web3/NFT stuff.
It's food for thought that perhaps quality journalism is found behind paywalls but we all know how to get past the paywalls. Yet perhaps this has lowered competition? Needs more work at depth to discover here.

Let's look at the facts:

Fox news during the Hanity/oreilly era was pretty awful. They saw this criticism and worked at fixing their journalistic failures. Today on the otherhand you have people like Tucker carlsen who bring their guest on and basically shut their mouth(well not in tucker's case, kind of hangs open) but they dont talk over or cut anyone off. Look at that reddit antiwork stuff, they just let the idiot mod talk to their own grave. That's what journalists are supposed to do. You can have your monologues but if you bring a guest on, let the guest talk.

Flipside, now you have CNN people like don lemon who cut the mic on people all the time. Don lemon is basically operating like Oreilly and it's pathetic. Overall just proving what we already know, those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It.

Yet I use a few examples, but those don't explain the industry. We have clearly re-entered yellow journalism recently. Lots of clickbait and fake news was a thing but only recently did we really transition to yellow journalism. CNN and MSNBC used to have great reputations but not today. Which is a huge problem because journalism's only quality assurance is their reputation.
Why is this a metric we should use to understand if a place is “free”?
That's an important point. You need to be on people's minds when they start to recruit. Your market value changes because they want you. E.g., Do people you worked with in the past try to recruit you? If not, try to acknowledge why and work on improving.
It will always be a game of cat and mouse anyway
Please explain in more detail? I am curious to hear your theory on this.
The stock market can't cut a company short. Even if the stock price goes to $0, the company still exists with all of it's assets, contracts, and employees. The stock price only matters if they do a secondary offering, and to a lesser extent for equity based employee compensation.
Pseudostandards are one of my least favorite patterns ever.

> I have to disagree. The JVM is one of the biggest pluses and might be one of the most battle-tested pieces of software out there.

Your points don't seem to conflict with the fact you need more resources to run a mimimal Spring Boot application than you would a Go application, a Python applicaton, a PHP application, etc. Because the JVM by default by the nature of how it operates needs more resources. I'm not saying anything other than that.
