  • Steam does scan for malware, which is why this is news. It's notable that a game got through that was malware. You haven't heard about other stores because it's not worth the effort in targeting them. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that most stores use the same vendor for malware scanning.

  • There's baggage with Nazi that doesn't really apply and it hurts the argument. The Holocaust is the big one, there's nothing remotely on the same level happening, lots of regimes have rounded up a particular minority, but systemic extermination is extremely rare. Maga also seems more isolationist than expansionist.

    There are strong parallels that can be drawn, but at there's also contradictions. It doesn't help that Nazi has routinely been used as a placeholder for super evil and go to for exaggeration. By using Nazi you allow your criticism to be dismissed as hyperbole. Until Trump invades Poland with Russia, it's probably best to use a different term.

  • Yes you can be a good president without being a good person. I wouldn't call Clinton a good person, but he was a good president. LBJ would also be a good candidate for bad person l, but good president.

    This one really depends on what you did and why. FDR generally gets a pass on Japanese concentration camps, Lincoln also subverted the constitution in some ways. Eisenhower using nationalized troops to integrate southern schools was an abuse of power, but the result was deemed worth it.

    There were a small handful of good Nazis, but that's not really the issue at hand. Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.

  • I finally passed my driving test, but instead I feel empty as if all those failures were leading to something bigger, is this normal?

    Jump

  • Passing a driving test in the US is usually one of the first accomplishments of becoming an adult, which makes it notable, but not necessarily big.

  • This seems way too hostile to valve for what this really was.

  • This is the massive gulf between level 3 and 4 systems, and why level 3 is potentially dangerous.

  • The swing back is usually worse though. By doing something unprecedented, you give the opposition permission to go farther than you did.

  • The Pitt's Big Emmys Win Proves Something Huge About The Future Of TV

    Jump

  • I binged most the the pitt, but it probably would be better with breaks. It's a high intensity show, and having breaks between episodes would be good. The fact it actually respects the viewer enough to not have gratuitous padding is notable today, and probably why it's actually good.

  • Natural Selection 2 is still an awesome game with a pratically unique gameplay. It's an RTS/FPS hybrid with asymmetrical teams. It's worth checking out if you can handle a bit of a learning curve.

  • My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card

  • The rate depends on debit card use.

  • My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card

    Jump

  • My debit card gives me a better interest rate on checking and savings which is way better than points or cash back. The only difference in fraud protection is the money may not be immediately available that was fraudulent, which can be a problem. Credit can be a problem until you get a mortgage though without credit cards.

  • Is there a TV series you regret watching purely because of how long it was, and overall, how unsatisfactory it was when it finished?

  • I believe that was the goal, but there was a rights dispute and they didn't get access to it.

  • Rings of power is shit, but it's also explicitly not based on the Silmarillion. It's only using the appendices of the trilogy.

    Jump

  • I'd say it depends on your tastes. If you like it's always sunny or arrested development then it might be worth it, and start with season 4 and go back if you really liked it. Otherwise skip it.

  • Seinfeld, there's way more miss episodes than hit episodes. The peak is the middle few seasons, and even then it's 50:50 at best.

  • REST my ass 💩

    Jump

  • This is why I'm not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that's 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren't quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.

    Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I'd rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.

  • There's also value in treating http as just a transport later. It can give you clear boundaries, 200 the app processed the request, anything else the app didn't process it.

  • Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn't mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren't sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it
