  • Valve hopes the Steam Machine will make devs pay more attention to Linux anti-cheat support

    Jump

  • Rendering is not what you are doing server side.

    No shit sherlock. Rendering requires information about the game, and that information is enough to allow cheating. Aimbots don't need to perform "invalid actions" in order to wreck a game. They just need to be faster and more accurate than most human players. Trying to heuristically detect aimbots is also commonly used alongside other anticheat methods, it just doesn't work (unless you have people manually reviewing individual reported cheaters, but companies try to avoid that because it's expensive and risks false positives).

  • Ultimately you either have basically google stadia (with all its technical problems) or you are trusting the client to render the game.

    Even if the client only has exactly the absolute minimum amount of information needed to draw all the things that are visible, that still allows a cheat to see the player coordinates and the coordinates of visible entities, which usually makes eg. an aimbot trivial to make.

  • "Never trust the client" renders entire genres of games inaccessible for a big corporation. But those genres have billions of dollars of potential profit in them. So they will go as far as they can to make the client almost trustable. The average player of a first-person shooter doesn't really think about the implications of kernel-level anticheat at all so it's not a hard choice for them. 95% of them are on windows after all and that already gives kenel access to their PC to some entity they really have no good reason to trust.

  • Saying it before something that is not disrespectful would be redundant at best and very confusing at worst.

  • Billionaires are extremists

    Jump

  • Those 3,028 people, or 0.000036% of the global population, hold more than 99% of all wealth.

    The actual number is closer to 9% than 99%. This is probably some kind of mutation from "the combined wealth of billionaires is larger than the GDP of 99% of countries" where notably yearly income and wealth are not directly comparable.

    Better (and true) things to say are "The global top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% combined" or "The richest 0.01% in the US have tripled their wealth in the last 30 years, while 90% of people have been treading water"

  • timeoutSort

    Jump

  • it's 

     
        
while (true) {
    let t = Date.now();
    if (timeoutMap.has(t)) timeoutMap[t]();
}

    of course. Clearly O(n).

  • So I wondered a bit how much it actually affects the economy.

    "S&P 500" companies' market cap is about 57 trillion dollars with a P/E ratio of about 30. So openai by itself is dragging down the total s&p 500 earnings by only about 0.5%. The bigger problem is that there are multiple companies like openAI, and a large chunk of the entire economy's valuation is tied to the promise that all the AI companies will somehow become profitable sometime soon.

  • Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition

  • Nah, it was found sometime before november 24 2021, publicly disclosed in december 9 2021, and only used by 2b2t players on december 10 2021.

  • The small amount of sales of doom 2 today is not at all comparable to the massive amount of minecraft sales and minecraft-related microtransactions that microsoft is raking in. Doom has many modern sequels that are far more popular today than doom 2, while minecraft does not have any official sequel.

    Do you have some source? I recall the latest rumor related to a valve patent is more likely to be about some VR thing than a steamOS PC

  • That is mostly a myth. They may have worked less than people at the height of the industrial revolution, but even a laborer who was paid a salary had to spend at least several hours per day on average on "not work" things like food preparation, home maintenance, feeding livestock, gathering firewood, repairing and cleaning clothing. Many tasks that are trivial today were highly arduous.

    Then to top it all off it was fairly common for the local lord to force them to do extra labor without pay, like maintaining roads or training in a militia.

  • Teams

    Jump

  • "You want to use teams a bit? We have a session here" "I'd be happy to, actually. Not really, but it wouldn't be bad" "Not really? If you say so, I have a teams session ready right here" "No. No. I'm not stupid" "People use it every day." "Tell the truth" "It's a good user experience." "So are you ready to use it? For 5 minutes?" "No, I'm not an idiot."
