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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Do they not teach you about macronutrients in highschool?

I think nutrition is one of the earliest things you figure out that it depends and nobody really knows what their talking about. My mother and wife have a lot of opinions about nutrition that are obviously unscientific, situational and anecdotal.

> Lifetime of avoiding fat... exactly opposite of what I should have been doing...

There is more nuance involved. What kind of fat? What kind of diet? Calorie surplus? What about salt? What kind of metabolism do you have?

It is just impossible to make blanket statements like eat fat, do not eat fat, eat sugar, do not eat sugar. It's your own responsibility to figure it out instead of being told what to do.

I think it depends on work culture. We recently merged with an american corporate and their engineers are obsessed with measuring, pilots, ab testing, RFCs etc. It's so slow to work with them even on the smallest features. Poor 10% of users who miss out on awesome features for 4 months because we "need" a control group.

That's how I took it as well. Everyone talks about highlighting stuff but you don't get highlights in real games. I got more comfortable with knight manouvers and chess notation thanks to this puzzle.

It should definitely have some visual tutorial for people to understand how it works though.

I've been making a 2d game in bevy and it's a lot of fun. I would recommend trying it. I haven't had any issues that are common with rust like fighting the borrow checker.
