These cheats Valve banned for only give a small edge. Much less than the variance in skill between players. It's more like turning graphics low for better fps than an aimbot. If you don't care about being good or winning, you can just consider the cheaters to be better skilled players and be unaffected by them.

I enjoy cs go, and I can't recognize a difference with good aim and aimbot. So there is no difference with a cheater or a smurf for me.

>I can't recognize a difference with good aim and aimbot

Probably why competitive fps games are at the top of the list for cheat makers.

They are hard to detect by eye and can be easily made to look human-like.

This is still very much an issue in many countries with government owned "nonprofit" media. Even in countries with low amount of corruption and high freedom of press.

It’s not an issue. You just assume that this is government voice. It’s good to have direct propaganda channel to learn what your government is up to.

But it shall not be confused with journalism.

How can you not see how bad security practise of Telegram is not directly related to Telegram?

Do not let sms 2fa slide for anyone.

Since some months, it's more a users' bad sec practice: Telegram offers on sale virtual numbers[1] with a crypto dumbery, you can buy a virtual number for 40-something $ and then log in with their wallet. Should be safer than having the SMS code rerouted but I can't say how much safer that way would be.

Layoffs are to save money. Many companies will rather layoff 1 person making above market rate than 2 making below market rate. Performance is obviously a factor, but not the only one.

If you have aggressively negotiated your cash compensation very high based on high performance during an economic boom you are at a high risk of getting laid off when the economy turns around. Imagine a graph with performance and compensation as axises, anyone below some slope is a layoff candidate.

Well yes, performance is always relative to comp. The expectations for someone making 400k per year are higher than for someone making 100k. If you're not living up to the expected value for someone making your comp, you're underperforming.

> Well yes, performance is always relative to comp

This is transparently false. Expectations are relative to comp.

Fair enough. Maybe that's the reason "good employees" get laid off. They are good from a coworkers perspective, but just not good enough for their pay. (assuming all measurements were meaningful and objective)

It is implied by not allowing to work from home. There wouldn't be a need to work from home if it was a 9-5 job.

Before covid, working from home wasn't really a thing at the company I work for. That meant I arrived at the office some time before 10, was there for around 8 hours, then left. That's what "not being allowed to work from home" means to most people.

For most of us, "work from home" means doing your regular work, during your regular hours, from your home office. No additional hours are implied.

300ms feedback on user action is unacceptable. But I read another comment saying there can be loading indicators so in that case its fine.

I think they will just keep working on df the way they have so far for another 20 years before retiring.

I really hope so, but I also hope they continue to work with the UI team… the Steam version changes have really impressed me!

They are absolutely continuing to work with the UI team (who, as far as I understand, are just modders doing a bunch of discounted/free design while Tarn still does the coding). Getting the Steam version working with adventure mode is what they're working on now.

(Their new developer seems to be more of an old-school low-level hacker working on performance and systems.)

That's really great news! I am so happy for them and everything they have accomplished and will continue to accomplish. It's truly an inspiration to me.

It's so weird. I know Japanese and I know chatGPT mostly confidently wrong. But still I wanted to believe it and give it the benefit of the doubt. I was wondering if fish had another pronounciation in addition to sakana.

うお is indeed a valid reading of 魚, just not in 青い魚. But 飛び魚 (flying fish) for example is とびうお. btw, the bit chatgpt spit out about い in 青い meaning to be is just totally wrong

He even goes on to give an example of everyday Japanese as something nobody outside of a manga would say.
