apparently not close enough.

Blockchain is all I work on and you seem to not understand my suggestion.

cheater.dll needs to be loaded in memory along with the game. Correct, right? If the original build of the game has already generated an encryption key that is stored on a server or a distributed ledger using your account, then tampering with the origonal build in memory will result in generating and invalod key thus changing the ledger or the stored key on the server, and not matching the ledger. If this happens then it invalidates your build and the distributed ledger would need to updated, but since that is not allowed in this instance all ledgers would reject your change and flag the block and the account. Making it easier to find who attempted a change. Sure this can be done on a server but because of the tamper proof inherited by a distributed ledger it would make it harder for this code to be shared. The cheater can still change the code but it would not be able to share it.

sharing the altered code. If you share the code and its invalid it can be traced back to your account. Which you can only create if you are part of that chain as a registered user. That fingerprint changes as soon as someone tries to use their account and tries to validate against the chain. It does not stop the cheater, but it stops it from spreading the cheat and it is easy to identify the cheater.

yes it will. Because in a block chain, you can't change anything unless everyone agrees to it.

If you change that code, and place it back in the block-chain no other block will agree to your change and reject you.

"If I have all your code and am running it on my computer it will be a matter of time before I can back out whatever obfuscation or technique you are doing and undo it."

sure try to undo a block-chain and see what happens.

The code will be encrypted with a unique key that will need to be registered on the server with your account. Change that code and it invalidates your entire build along with your account. case closed.

If I tell you right now that every single digital dollar will need to include the finger print of the digital printing press that created it. How would you be able to forge a new one without that fingerprint? You can't because every time you alter the digital dollar you create a new fingerprint that does not match the original digital printing machine.

This fixes a lot of problems with altering code and and extensions and modding. Does not fix memory changes but it can make it quite difficult because each memory change would have to be validated against the original fingerprint already registered on the server for your particular build.

you are talking about a blockchain.

I have talked about this in many occasions to developer and they also agree that a blockchain to maintain a unique fingerprint of the game is very good to deter many attacks to modding and extensions to code, no matter the platform.

Use blockchain.

It is a very simplified comment, but behind that you can expand the topic to include many advantage a blockchain can provide during multiplayer games.

EDIT: yes it is a very unpopular topic, but deep down many of you who are developers, know that blockchain can solve many of these issues with cheater.dll

I mostly watch Twitch during a big title release, just to see if I am interested or not. I also like watching big events like Overwatch League and other competitions. To me it is relaxing to watch people that are very good at the game play because I also learn from them and do that myself in game.

some just don't have the money to buy the game they want so they go into Twitch to watch that very game and get their fix until they can purchase that game.

Angular and React are getting bloated.

Vue is still one of the few frameworks that stays lean.

Easier learning curve by new developers trying to pick a front end framework.

I never said there was a Science to it. I said Germany Scientist researched it.

Here are a few links that points to Intelligence agency spending tax payer money in the fringe science.

"My husband and I would joke and say I'd bet these devices are listening to what we're saying,"

Think about this statement for a sec. Of course is listening to you. It has to listen to you because it needs to be able to respond to "Alexa". So yes, this is always listening.

Now, once you come to terms with that, do you feel comfortable having a technology with access to the internet, location, habits, account, contacts, email, phone, CC information etc etc, to be actively listening to your most intimate private conversations?

It does not take a 5 year old two seconds to figure this out.

Well these are Gov employees so there is a Fringe possibility that has been confirmed to be black projects where Remote viewers attempt to access information through telepathy. Many of the reported symptoms are just like the reported in this article with pressure and weird sound sensations along with nausea and headaches. Some were diagnosed with brain injuries as well.

Again this is the tin foil hat projects that many conspiracy theorist claim is still happening today.

during WWII Germany Scientist did research on remote viewing.

Gold!

everything is about the environment. If you have an under stimulating environment then even your health is affected.

Read about the WWII pregnant survivors of holocaust where their lack of food evolved into the fetus being stingy with proteins and sugars and now they are experiencing health problems because now their body stores more than it needs and weight gain and other health factors arose.

So yes, environment can be detrimental to not only brain, but full physiological development

"Scientists say that understanding time crystals may lead to improvements in atomic clocks, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, as well as aid in building potential quantum technologies"

So you are saying that the Time Stone/Gem is real? How exciting!!!!

It almost looks like my bedroom, but I grew up in the 90s. I didn't have the financial resources so I had to gather a lot of my components from trash day or flea markets. But hey I got CS degree out of it so there is that.

No, it is just poor oversight. Not incompetence. These could be excellent developers that just overlooked a logging tool.

As developer, I can tell you this happens more often than I'd like to admit.

debug logs is that necessary evil you need to troubleshoot pesky bugs. Unfortunately some of these debug tools need to be turned on in a live environment to capture those logs for debugging. But also Unfortunately, we are humans and we concentrate on fixing the bug and forget to turn off logging or log unnecessary data.

must be the same logging library/framework as github. I want to know which library it is.

I would only refer to Episode 4-5 of Silicon Valley in Season 5.

This will be the mistake we will make when we introduce a technology we think it is smart enough to make decision for us and turns out all it does is read words faster than us and interpret them literally.

Even with the closing statement of "AI winter is coming soon." I can see Watson having a problem understanding that statement even with context.

careful because I already see this coming:

"In order to server our customers better and provide the best possible experience, VPN services will be blocked and will require a Business Tier service. We feel that unless you have a legitimate business reason to anonymize your network traffic we will provide this service in order to protect our subscribers and network integrity. Click Here to Speak to our Sales Representative"

yes we will and billions will die in the process.

How to Quit? really?

"Hey Jerry, got a min? Look, I don't think this is working out. Here is my letter of resignation, and my two week notice. Thank you."

Done!

How hard is that to do? There is nothing holding you in chain in that job unless you are actually being held in chain in that job, at which point you should seriously analyze your life choices.

The real life Sheldon Cooper. Block my walk path, i'll sue, if I lose, i'll build a robot to destroy you all.

other things to consider is the fact that for a run of the mill Android the insurance cost is significantly less and the deductible in some cases $100 compared to the $250 for an iPhone. Those who realized that the first time around would reconsider buying an Android as their next phone.

Apple is not innovating as they used to in their phone and so Android is quickly closing the gap, which makes them financially speaking more viable option.

That changes nothing for ArangoDB (https://docs.arangodb.com/3.3/Manual/Transactions/) as they have had this feature long before MongoDB. But MongoDB gets the headlines for the hype and being light years late to the party.

Most of what you say is true. But the reason they see IT as overhead is because their budget accounts for building the technology and find that supporting it may cost just as much. So they try to get rid of the overhead of Engineering the system to make room for Supporting the system they built. Now, they seem to quickly forget that you still need Engineering to build your next project. And that is why a lot of these companies treat IT Engineering as a disposable asset and then heavily out source the building of these projects to disposable IT Engineering consultants.
