  Thanks for the link, I’ll def be more critical about it in the future.

  I’ll still use it (for now) because as a no-nonsense customizable search engine its by far the best I’ve tried.

  Tesla is a meme stock in the disguise of a car company. It being down 30% means little, if anything volatility is good for big market players. Allows them to fleece more people. In a month Trump will announce a big tesla contract and it’ll go back up.

  Or so I tell myself because pessimism is easier to live with.

  HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD ‘HATE’ WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

  Holy crap I totally forgot that game existed. Me and my best friend were obsessed with it, drawn 3 tomes (yes, tomes) of comics about its character.

  True, can’t think of how would you combat a cleverly written aim-bot.

  Don’t tell the client what’s going on outside its vision, I suppose? Add a small buffer to compensate for latency, so wall hack would be more of a “corner hack”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine the alternative way to combat kernel-level cheats would be asking player for all his game state data, validating it on a server?

  Wouldn’t work on peer-to-peer and you’d have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.

  From what I gather, asbestos is also very stable and not reactive. Asbestosis is caused by tiny fibers physically tearing your lungs.

  It’s unlikely that plastic is as dangerous (we’d seen it by now) but its buildup can likewise cause some condition.
