To my knowledge there are three somewhat used rules that can have an impact on these types of services.

1. Only allow known/cleared bot traffic from any non-consumer ISP.

2. Block any ASN where bad traffic comes from especially if there is no good traffic.

3. Block any VPN services.

I don’t know if Mullvad have their own ASNs or if they are hosted at services with ASNs that is classified as consumer ISPs or not. It is probably a mix.

I know for instance that OVPN have servers at some shady non-consumer ISPs. So, it sometimes gets blocked. It is also, unfortunately, not uncommon that VPN connections are used for attacks. And if the VPN uses a smaller service provider, then that whole ISP may get blocked. If the VPN uses a shady service provider. The VPN may fall victim to other user activity from that ISP.

I have not worked with any site that blocks VPN all together. Tor is often blocked along with some countries. Some streaming services blocks VPN though. Most sites do not, I think.

The way things are going right now is that these types of services will become more difficult to use on legal commercial sites over time.
The tweets indicate it was "badged a 90". Seems odd/unlikely Tesla actually changed out the badging on a battery replacement, in which case someone else committed fraud.

The first bit of real code I ever wrote was an SO_LINGER bug fix for a game that couldn’t restart if users had disconnected due to loss of network.

Then I had to explain it to several other people who had the same problems. Seems a lot of copy and paste went on among that community.

I've had a similar experience but with IBM Cloud.

So, I've started using LibreFox recently. Signed up for IBM Cloud after verifying my credit card and lo and behold, an account suspension letter was delivered after an hour. I guess it has something to do with their algorithm triggering accounts signed up using privacy focused browsers.
A hiring freeze for any one company generally means slowly bleeding in that area: people are still leaving, you're just not getting anyone new to replace them.

But if basically every company is doing a hiring freeze, and employees are unable or unwilling to quit because of bad economic conditions, maybe less so.
Enough of this “passion” nonsense. Most people just want a well-paying job. This was true before 2008 and after 2008.

While from a purely theoretical point of view your perspective is admirable, once you enter the real world you realize that they, we, all want to sometimes hear certain words to justify certain actions, either in their own eyes or those of the company they work for.

For example, your manager would like to give you a raise, but company policy or unwritten "this is how it works" rules say that a raise of more than 15% can only be given when the employee has received an offer from another company. But they don't actually want to see the offer, they just want you to say it, just as your partner wants you to say "I love you" to him or her from time to time to continue receiving the benefits you have been looking forward to maintaining or increasing.
I respect the game a lot, but it was more impactful and novel in 2011. Its themes seem well-trodden in 2022.

Let's say they fix that at some point in future. Suddenly you will find yourself banned.

I get why this is hard for Google - there are probably thousands of scam accounts who've been banned making scam appeals all the time. They don't want to give those people a script to follow to get all their accounts unbanned, but if you are giving them money, they should generally be able to afford to have a real human look at your case.

I've been railing against VR for years, because I'm really picky about video games, but I was converted. It's really worth a try. It's not a replacement for current video games, nor do I see myself wearing one for hours at a time to hang out in some corporate dystopia (which seems to be what Meta wants), but there are some really cool and unique experiences. I think VR game design is still pretty immature, but in a way I find that refreshing. most of these games are simple enough that any casual player can pick them up, which hasn't really been the case since the Wii came out ages ago.

Well, I know, but I think he turned out to be wrong in that case. Fast enough, maybe.
I don't think this kind of behavior is going to impact their sales, because frankly, they long ago passed the point where you have to be willing to completely drink the koolaid and not care about your privacy/independence and treat your car as just another SaaS software product you essentially rent, even if you did pay upfront.

Much like how Lay's will not lose any customers if it's revealed they actually are slightly fattier and unhealthier than everyone already knows they are -- anyone who really would care already stopped eating them, the customers left don't care.

If you are afraid of your car, regardless of motive power source, bursting into flames without warning, then you shouldn't own a car, because tens of thousands of people die in car crashes every year, and for most of them they experienced no warning and could not have forseen their death.
I guess that will change if they get ads in games right.

I also live in a major US city with encampments constructed by the unhoused. My experience does not mirror your anxieties at all, and usually I am at street level, on a bicycle, and not a measly gawker staring from inside a metal box or a cafe.

Do you have any evidence to back up the claims about safety? Every time I've encountered a sentiment like this, even people who live in this city, it's just mere supposition -- an expression of anxiety veiled as fact, like the justifications given for the Boudin recall campaign, or else an extremely subjective (if traumatic) experience that doesn't extend readily to the general public.

Remember, violent crime and property crime are different things, and neither anecdotes nor anxiety count as data.

> If you want some games that really revolutionize what games can be, check out Celeste, Secret Little Haven, Baba Is You, and Glittermitten Grove. All of these games really challenge what games can be and experiment with radically different kinds of art.

I haven’t played most of these games but I have played a lot of Celeste and I don’t really see how it challenges what games can be or experiments with radically different kinds of art. Don’t get me wrong, it is an absolutely amazing game and one of the best platformers of all time with a sweet, well written story but at the end of the day it’s a 2D platformer. Yes the controls and art are much better than most but there is nothing in the gameplay fundamentally different than what the original Super Mario Bros had on the NES.

I’m also not really a fan of the snobbish tone of the article. Horizon Zero Dawn is certainly not revolutionary in terms of game design but nobody claimed it was. Genres exist for a reason and just because a game (or TV show, or movie, etc) conforms to the expectations of the genre doesn’t make it bad. Also as a side note, I really resent them calling Aloy a “waifu” since Horizon is one of the few games with a female protagonist that is both undeniably a woman while also not being made as a sex object. Metroid is famous for being one of the first games with a female protagonist but for the entire game Samus might as well be a guy, non-binary, or a robot since all you see is her armor. You only find out she is a woman after beating the game and discovering that based on how much of the game you completed the more clothes you can strip off of her until she is left just wearing her underwear. Tomb Raider on the other hand had an obviously female protagonist but one that was intended as a sex object for guys to ogle with her large breasts, skimpy clothes, and near complete lack of personality. Meanwhile Horizon presents Aloy as a strong protagonist who doesn’t need men to save her at every turn while also not being sexualized to such extremes that you feel like the real reason she exists is so that men have someone to ogle at while playing the game. The fact that Horizon (and The Last of Us series which presents its female protagonists similarly) get such extreme hatred from capital G Gamers because “they made them look like men!” should be evidence enough that this is revolutionary in its own way in the industry.

> If we had the ability to walk into a shop and start with 100% of the clients environment we'd have done that but the problem was typically tied to the customer not being ready to rollout from 0-100 overnight.

On top of that, there's a handful of people, maybe less, who actually have the juice to be able to make this happen even if they wanted to in any given organization. You're likely not talking to them.

Teams who need to get shit done today and are ready to roll out are much quicker to transact and less of an organizational risk (time to value vs. contract amount)

Not on topic but a little rant about dark themes. After years of reading code displayed in dark mode on a white page (high contrast), I still wonder why. It's really hard to see, at least for me. Most of the time, I end up selecting the whole piece of code to have white text on a black background - it's not as good as black text on a white background, but it's much better than dark blue or dark red on a black background.

This interesting article uses dark red for operators (".", "=", "<", etc.). This is one of the worst choices. On a dark background, please do not use dark color.

Unless the feedback is more fluffy or there's something light and concrete (or just straight up positive), then that has always felt like a record scratching moment to me when I've been asked it. Not that it hasn't ever went well, but it's hard to ask that without coming across as "so how'd I do?". It's especially hard to juggle with straight being undecided because they were _okay_, but you have other candidates to interview that sound promising.

I think the question as phrased is a good way to ask it, and more likely to make it land. It just also has the potential to leave things on a more sour note than they would have been if not done right.
"Current price" Seemed to be purely invented to move units. The hardware margins had to be very large negative numbers. They were losing $2.5B/Quarter for the last two years. To put it in context, the specs of a base Quest 2 are actually somewhat similar to Microsoft's $1000 Surface Pro X or a Galaxy S20 but adding the motion controllers and the specific ground-up custom OS.
You shouldn't need a M$ signed driver for capture, what makes you say that? I don't think it does a great job in the position it's in now, but it's hard to say it's not at least covering most of the big points that TeamViewer does, which qualifies it as an alternative.

It's highly likely Armenia will be occupied next, with people who fled the country before, sent to gulags or executed as traitors (happened in Russian history before). I wonder what these people are thinking. If they are emigrating now they should leave to where Putin won't get them.

> let b:&str = &"str";

This has nothing to do with DST but with type coercion.

The type of `b` is `&&str` but you requested the type to be `&str` which is fine as the compiler can coerce from `&&str` to `&str` in this case.

In the same way you can write

let b: &i32 = &&&&1;

and it will compile fine
No, it's not. Lights are often on timers and cars are often tied to houses for those with second homes in different locations, so as to make them appear occupied so squatters and thieves are discouraged from entering while the owners are elsewhere.

These are obvious considerations and I am surprised they did not cross your mind.
According to the article that I linked, California has banned "To Kill a Mockingbird" in schools due to racism and you seem to be implying that is because the book "depict[s] racism positively"; however, I read it back in school and I remember discussing extensively how the book showed racism in a most negative light.

It doesn't seem to me like you are willing to believe that both sides could be over stepping here, but I personally am sure of it.
