I'd call crates the beginning, and those came with the Mann-conomy update in 2010.

I really can't agree, there are so many great VNs out there and DDLC only really stands out in that it plays heavily to the English-speaking world's preconceived notions of VNs as "nothing more than simple dating simulators&q

That's already an option, too.

There is video of the accident floating around. I recommend against going looking for it...

Agreed, I've been through something like this before and it was not legit. They'd compromised a Bangladeshi police email account and used it to try to get data out of us.

That's right, there's no guarantee the data hasn't been tampered with after encryption. The mechanics of the tampering you could do depend on the cipher mode you use. To give a simplified example (which doesn't match wha

Steam on Linux already uses LD_PRELOAD under-the-hood to load the overlay. Valve signs the overlay SO files, so they could be making an exception for Valve-signed-preloads in VAC, but it's also possible that VAC does something else to

This is a good way to go; also the affiliated wikis, forums, and subreddit can be a useful resource.

This could work for domestic requests, but the one example of this I've seen in the wild (and this was mentioned in the original post) involved a request (supposedly) coming from police internationally. Though, requests from foreign po

That's a matter of repository policy, but yes, Flathub (by far the largest and most popular repository) allows for this. I believe that they generally put a disclaimer that it's not an official package in the description, and allo

I've heard that it works fairly well on Proton already. In fact, perhaps even better than it does on Windows in some regards as a result of Valve having implemented some mitigations for things the engine does incorrectly in Proton. (Th

It's _very_ good at "learn by example" with some twists. It _does_ make mistakes, and I do double check it, but it still definitely saves time. I used it to write the bulk of a new implementation of a new audio backend for a

I've been using Wasabi for a project where cost is more important than anything (i.e. a side project with reasonable scale that can't accept income) and on that front it is great. (S3 costs have been atrociously high to us sometim

Sorry, I assumed (incorrectly) given we're downthread of a bunch of purposefully awful ideas.

You're joking, but I've read that Valve Software does/did something similar, every desk in their office is on wheels so you can move your desk to join up with whatever project you want. Maybe unsurprisingly, I've also re

I don't think it's currently possible for any cloud service to make this obsolete, at least in the ways that I'd want to use a portable gaming device. Which is to say, mostly in transit, which tends to have spotty (at best) i

Erlang's VM runs a scheduler on top of a number of OS threads. If an actor blocks, that actor won't be scheduled to run until the blocking call is finished, but you won't consume a whole OS threads, and other actors will be a

Once you solve the first challenge it tells you to send an email to an @gov.il email address, which confirms it pretty well for me.

The use of Pickle isn't uncommon for session cookies in Python apps, from what I've seen. Pickle isn't really a problem unless you end up unserializing untrusted data... which a sign+encrypt scheme is supposed to ensure doesn
