How would you point it to a data directory on your local machine?

You do have to verify fingerprints individually for each device that a user has. You also have to do it individually for each device that you have.

Okay I Googled "foot-cannon" but didn't find any relevant looking results. Can you explain to me what it is?

It doesn't make a whole ton of sense because you'd still need to know when to un-indent in order to get out of a conditional block. IDEs can't read your mind.

I suspect most people would not consider buying a $5 loot box if there was a 95% chance of only getting duplicate items, or a 0.0002% chance of getting the item they're hoping for.

Developers will probably increase the drop rates for things so that people will continue to buy their crates.

I agree it's still gambling but this is a step.

At the very least, maybe we would have seen higher voter turnout. I know at least a handful of 'salty' people who didn't vote at all but would never have voted for Trump.

The games aren't really about the language--which have maybe 12 instructions at most--they're about the challenge of working with an extremely limited instruction set. They're puzzle games disguised as games about assembly languages. A game using a real instruction set might be fun for some people, but it would feel a lot different, and probably have to be a lot more challenging to make up for all of the convenient instructions. At that point you're basically just programming.

But then you have to remember the counter setting for that website. So it's almost the same problem; I could just add a 1 to the end of my master password for that website.
