"The point" was to find a large project to test import performance, and it sounds like they hit that point dead center.

100 years is a long time for humanity to look into ways to counteract time travelling trolleys! Sure it _says_ the future trolley will kill 5 people, but if I were in that situation I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be so certain. In your "political" example: Do you want a guaranteed bad outcome now, or what we expect to be the same bad outcome later?

> But could you make a better game if you didn't need to funnel people into buying gems at all? The answer is always yes - you always need to give up something to make people buy gems.

This ignores the fact there aren't unlimited resources to develop and maintain a game. Not requiring people to buy gems would improve some areas of the game for sure, but making less money is certain to impact other areas of the game - you always need to give up something in order to fit things in budget.

Aren't the biggest costs from bandwidth, not storage? I'm sure they would love to reduce data transmission by 20% for browsers that support it.

I'm not sure what tone your comment is intended to give off, but does there exist a person who _isn't_ willing to trade privacy for convenience to some degree? One certainly couldn't be using the internet or participating in society if they weren't willing to give up some privacy.

Autism refers to Autism Spectrum Disorder. There is nothing wrong with using "on the spectrum" for people with ASD. There are also several usages of "Autism" by itself, so I don't know where you got the idea that it is being treated as a bad word.

If I were to ask you if I could get a refund for an item out of warranty, what language would you use to refuse me? I'm struggling to come up with a response that doesn't use the terms "unable" or "can't" that wouldn't come across as fairly rude.

Genshin Impact is a recent game that has included a kernel mode anti-cheat. I would be very surprised if the majority of players know that it exists, or understand what it means to have it run in kernel mode.

The Genshin website previously allowed anyone to view the phone number you have linked to your account via the password reset mechanism. Due to common reports of accounts getting stolen (and unable to be recovered), two factor auth has been highly requested, but doesn't seem to be a priority. I'm skeptical that they strongly care about the security of their users.

Even if Genshins anti-cheat is completely secure, as kernel anti-cheat becomes more common it's inevitable that we will get an instance that is full of security holes. Unfortunately as long as the user can't play their favorite game without it, they will happily install it.

Wanting to spend more time doing things such and volunteering or gardening are exactly reasons why someone might pursue early retirement. It sounds like you agree with the concept but are getting distracted by terminology.

I very much prefer using Vim, but the debugging experience is much better in VSCode. The language server experience in VSCode is also better (though vim is getting there!), and there are many other small trade-offs that one may prefer.

Emacs I haven't tried nearly as much, but it has a poor Windows OS experience, and is also historically a "bloated" software ("Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping").

Of course there is no reason Vim couldn't be modified to do everything VSCode does but better, but until that happens VSCode will still have a place in my toolbox.

I can't imaging a project aimed at reverse engineers would be the best place to try to hide that sort of thing. Ghidra is open source, you are free to audit and build it yourself if you are concerned.

Note that LocalCDN doesn't handle Google Fonts:

You are probably looking for the videos on coursera [1].

Ligatures in coding fonts is a good workaround for giving people options on what they see. I personally dislike ligatures, but I work with people who do like them. They want to see ≠, but typing ≠ instead of != in a shared code base is not going to happen, regardless of keyboard layout or language support.

The video game anti-cheat world has been playing this cat and mouse game for a while. A few months back I saw an interesting article [0] describing some of the detection methods being used. It's fascinating to think about how much effort gets put into this.

After watching some of gamozolabs fuzz week a few months ago I've been wondering how well it would work to write a simple RISC-V emulator on a GPU for parallelized fuzzing. It sounds like a fun learning project that I hope I can get to eventually.

It's very interesting seeing just how much performance can be squeezed out like this.

That page works fine in my FireFox (v81 on Windows, also with uBlock Origin enabled). Have you checked the behavior with a clean profile?
