Well that's good news, I was a little worried that it would be impossible to tell on mobile
weird because the keepass example, on chrome + android, looks exactly like a regular k in the address bar.

I wonder if some AMD folks did last week when their latest drivers caused players to get banned in counter strike haha

I highly doubt you'd be taken less seriously. Your degree is also close and relevant to programming from my experience, even if it doesn't directly give you a lot of coding experience.

I've worked with electrical engineers who went straight into programming after they graduated, and they were good. Where I'm from the engineering degrees always seemed a little more brutal than a regular comp sci degree. I notice those engineers have no issue learning anything new

That sounds odd, because how does your steam account even get banned? If you cheat in a game and get banned, your steam account isn't banned

If this thing was already in effect during that period, would you have been screwed over?
It's important to build skills with stimulants that you can still use while off them. Organizing, using calendars, stuff like that.

There was a point in my life where I was unable to function in society, and the stimulants did save me. I decided to slowly ween myself off of them since, and don't have any regrets about having taken them in the first place.

If I lost 5-10 years from my lifespan from taking stimulants, I still think it was worth it. Staying realistic about them was key for me.

Nova Scotia, Canada. We get hurricanes but they're not usually too bad. Not at risk of anything like earthquakes tornados etc
I'd even go as far as saying that I like steam, and that I would rather use it and have it exist than not.

Steam/valve also does a lot of things that everyone benefits from. Amazing controller support, Proton, etc.

Even some minor things like allowing p2p games to route through their servers so players IPs aren't shown to others

There are lots of PC exclusive games that are immensely popular, and I'd argue some of the most popular games in the world. csgo, valorant, league of legends, etc.

I think the reason why you won't see any big exclusives on PC is that because consoles are close to PCs, big games should be ported to console otherwise you're missing out on huge markets.

Beyond the live service type games I mentioned earlier, there's also a ton of smaller indie-AA type titles that are PC exclusive. Even that is dwindling down though since porting gets easier and easier for indie devs

Is there not an option on Spotify to only stream on wifi?

I'm curious to know how your experience ending it today is like compared to before you started it. Do you feel like it's easier or harder to eat less compared to before your fast?

I'm confused as to why anybody is downloading non work apps on a work device
Does amazon ensure that team members are all based on a physical office location? At my work for instance we have a few members on my team from a different country, so forcing us to go in office wouldn't end zoom calls.

Re:Ask HN: Why do games (as media) make so much money? on Sunday January 22, 2023 @12:25PM (#34479748)
The interaction is a huge component of it. Shared experiences is important to a lot of people. It's why people love playing games with friends. Even single player games, people will still discuss online etc.

I think it's always more immersive than a movie, even in terms of non immersive games. "You" are the one playing after all. I also think there's such a wide variety of games that's there's something for everyone.

Music is much cheaper to consume. I have 95% of the music I ever care to listen to at my fingertips from a single music streaming subscription. That definitely contributes to the pure money factor and why games sell more.

A lot of artists make more in merch, vinyl, and touring ticket sales than they do in pure streaming numbers. Buying new video games generally cost more. Even if they don't, people tend to spend more on microtransactions.

People like you are heroes in the workplace to me. I hate anything devops related because I feel like it takes time away from the stuff I'm trying to do, so I appreciate anyone who does it!
Tencent is Chinese and has its hq in China.
Re:Improving code review time at Meta on Thursday November 17, 2022 @06:32PM (#33647521)
You're thinking of features when the other person is thinking in code. Maybe some overcomplicated bloat is involved with whatever goes into clicking that.

They mean locally as in code scope and not necessarily client sided or the size of a feature

I have never seen an ad for a gun of any kind. Off topic I know. But I didn't realise that until now. Do Americans have ads for guns anywhere? I've never seen it
Perhaps it's a self-fulfilling meme at this point, but searching "programming socks" on Amazon right now still only recommends socks like that. Definitely not doctored
People sample music all the time. Sometimes credit and royalties are given, but there are lots of popular music being made that samples without credit.

Against the law? Maybe, probably. I don't think the laws are as strong as they appear though.

I don't want to sound pedantic or smug, but I think maybe coca-cola should be banned for children too. Perhaps not illegal but just not for sale for children. I think social media should be similar. 16+ at least
